Just when the world seems so dark, along comes a bright glowing light, a true MAN. A person with principles. What we need now are more soldiers like Ken O`Keefe. I salute him too. RESPECT.

Touble is, your second last post speaks differently. You deny the ships bringing aid to the Gaza people...not Hamas, who are not that popular in Gaza itself, and who have have question marks as to who their overlords are.
The Palestinians should stop the rocket attacks against Israel and renounce terrorism. That would do more to improve the conditions of the people in Gaza than all the supply ships on the planet earth.
[edit on 7-6-2010 by Flatwoods]
It is generally aknowledged that rocket attacks, by Hamas, were miniscule in nature compared to the retaliation from Israel, plus Israel's ongoing embargo. To be sure the Hamas rockets killed people, the Israelis in their retaliation killed many more. Then you have to ask why Hamas should do these things, knowing full well that many more lives would be lost by their actions in "their" country. So far Hamas has not been ousted, but that does not legitimise Israel's stance against a mercy blockade.

Just to clarify, Ken O' Keefe is not a soldier. He is an enviromental and peace activist.

One more brief note -- I see these threads about Israel all the time, but honestly I don't think America cares that much about either Israel or the Palestinians. Arguing about Israel -- and American Idol -- is just our hobby. Israel is far away, and very small. We appear engaged, but we really don't care that much, on average.

I would like to add one more thing: I don't hate Arabs, or Muslims, or Palestinians, or any group based on their ethnicity. What I hate is terrorists.
What I mean by terrorist are people who bomb, kill, and maim soft targets because they don't have the strength or the guts to form a real army, one that plays by actual rules. [edit on 7-6-2010 by Flatwoods]

If that would be the case - you shouldn't talk then until YOU actually know what items and goods which are permitted to enter Gaza.
Since the end of 2000, Arab states have transferred to the Palestinian Authority monthly financial aid of $45 million (since April 2002 this sum was increased to $55 million). The European Union (EU) transfers to the PA approximately $9 million monthly. By the end of 2001, the Palestinians had received $4 billion (the figure is now closer to $5.5 billion) since the 1993 Oslo agreements.
This is the equivalent of $1,330 per Palestinian. By comparison, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe after World War II provided $272 per European (in today's dollars)."
You are so damn uninformed, it's not funny!
The UN relief agency for Palestinian refugees Unrwa's list of household items that have been refused entry at various times includes light bulbs, candles, matches, books, musical instruments, crayons, clothing, shoes, mattresses, sheets, blankets, pasta, tea, coffee, chocolate, nuts, shampoo and conditioner.
