TP: "An entire neighbourhood was destroyed!": Um, no it was not. I asked you for proof. In another current thread you provided 2 pictures. One was a recycled (by you) picture of 3 lots in what looks to be Beirut. 3 lots? And your second was a satellite image of a neighbourhood that could be Beirut but it does not show anything demolished. Again, please provide PROOF.
"It is a shame that those 10 year old 'Palestinian' stone throwers did not have their own nation, or they could have won Olympic medals.":Well, at least you got one thing correct; They have never had a nation. As for throwing, welol if the Olympics ever allows Mid-Eastern slings than they might have a shot.
"Power Cuts are deemed Collective Punishment.": Israel has never cut power to Gaza. PIJ happened to blow up conduits though, and that might be what is confusing you. Even though THEY blowed up those conduits, Israel only supplies less than 65% of Gazan electricity. Even with the blown conduits, most Gazans never saw an interruption in service. Electrcity by the way is not a Human Right, it is aluxury that depends on payment of services. Israel provides up to 65% of Gazan electrcity needs free of charge. Hmmm...
"Water cuts are a form of Collective Punishment.": That is true but then Israel does not provide Gazan water. They have an aquifier under their sliver of land and many wells, all of which have been built and maintained by Israel until the HAMAS Coup.
"Blockades are Collective Punishment.": Nope. Israel provides all basic needs. Travel is not a right but a privledge and is dependant upon a reciprocating eneity. Where will they go? Egypt? Aside form the 2 days , that ended yesterday, Egypt does not want a single Gazan entering their nation. They did allow 300 humanitrian cases to enter over the 2 days but even they had alot of trouble. Egyptians are not stupid.
So called "WB"? Sorry, the PA does not want the,.
Israel? Riiiiight.
By sea? Well Israel DID set a precedent with the granting of entry to the 2 boatloads of Freign do-gooders last week, and when those 2 boats left they DID take I believe 14 Gazans but they were Humanitarian cases. Israel has not changed its policy of containment in lieu of law and order in Gaza. WHEN Gazans elect to remove the HAMAS cancer from their midst they will once again be welcomed to exercise the privelege of travel.
Panda: "The weight of granite, etc...":: I had no idea that on top of your Masters in English you had a PhD in Geology as well! Way to go!!! Oh! Since you are so knowledgeable about EVERYTHING, please tell us the unifrom size assigned to a "Fist." Thanks in advance.
