So the people still died then. Were they all armed and defending their neighborhoods or just plain-ol' unarmed civilians?

I hate to rag on the Israelis solely but they are the only ones doing wholesale cold-blooded killing these days. I haven't seen an Arab kid with an explosives vest being sent into an Israeli cafe for at least a year now. What happened to the kid-bombs? We need some balance here!

that was sarcasm?

This is the Angry-East we are talking about.

Lies ( from whoever) are not a good thing IMHO.

UN DENIES CRITICAL AID



The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) on Friday said it is suspending humanitarian aid in Gaza until further notice, after Hamas seized control of its warehouses and stole 200 tons of food and supplies.

The agency said it made the decision after Hamas personnel seized an aid shipment on Thursday. Earlier this week, Hamas police took thousands of blankets and food parcels meant for needy residents.


UNRWA said the suspension would remain in effect until the aid is returned and the agency receives credible assurances from the Hamas government that such thefts will end. There was no immediate reaction from Hamas.

"There is enough aid for days, not weeks," he said. Complicating the situation, he said the agency has not been able to import plastic bags used for food distribution, and that existing supplies will run out early next week.

Some 80 percent of Gaza's 1.4 million people rely on the UN agency for food and other support, and UN officials say the need for aid has increased since Israel ended a military offensive in Gaza last month.

A UN spokesman on Wednesday said Hamas police in Gaza broke into a warehouse full of UN humanitarian supplies and seized thousands of blankets and food packages, creating a rare public clash between the international agency that feeds much of the territory and the militant group that rules it.

I hate to say it but we cant keep bending over to terrorist organizations like hamas. Perhaps the gazan people will now realise that hamas should not be representing them.

If we give aid (and we should) it should not be going to hamas. If they steal it, then they must answer to gazans.

[Plantagenet]

How dare the UN entity stop food deliveries to Gaza because Hamas steals the food.

Hamas is too clever for the UN entity.

Hamas will kidnap UN entity workers, shoot them from ambush, and send suicide bombers and fire rockets at the UN entity to force it to send more food to Gaza so Hamas can steal it.

Have no fear. There isn't a single event in the middle east that can't be blamed on Israel directly or indirectly.
