aid to gaza , my proposal

all this idiocy with ` aid flotilla ` media whoreing has got me thinking .

there is an easier way - and one that puts the isrealis ` on the back foot `

its simple - just send your shipment of aid to isreal - containing ONLY humanitarian items that are on isreals own list off allowed goods with everything documented to ISO 9000 standards

accompany the shipments with a envoy - capable of arguing the law of customs , the isreali policy on humanitarian relief etc - so that every challenge can be counter argued

then just let the isrealis try and block the shipments

if they do - the they have not got a leg to stand on - if they allow it in then gaza gets humanitarian relief - which is what people want right ?

or is that just too simple ? not exciting enough ? no media whoreing oportunities ?

Good idea but as your own post states.
"items that are on isreals own list off allowed goods "

Do you realise just how many items are on the BANNED list??

Although I am joking a bit, if the Palestinians were willing to live in peace this would not be the case.

Just for that IsraHELL ban those? Come on those aren't even weapons

Sad part is, 99% of the population does want peace.
I'm guessing an equal number of Israelis do to...

My answer to most of the worlds problems is to declare a war on ALL poloticians...They create the mess as us poor suckers suffer..

Edit to add: Maybe a ban on ALL religions too.....

correct me If I am wrong hasn't Israel sent a lot of aid to Gaza?
What did the Love Boat expect was gonna happen? these are not security guards
these are Israeli commandos. you think they are gonna have a sense of humor, about
running a blockade.

reply to post by Target Earth


OK I'll correct you...Quoted from the official Israeli site.I can post link if you need.

Israel has sent roughly 15000 tones of aid a week into Gaza..
BTW, it is Israel passing on aid from other places,not all Israels aid.

Now, there are over 2 million people in Gaza therefore receiving about 7kgs of aid a week!!!

That 1litre of water a day each !!!!!!!

Israel is STARVING the Gaza people by their own admission....

reply to post by virgom129

That is of course is, if every single person in Gaza uses Israeli aid... which I doubt everybody does.

reply to post by Target Earth


Sorry you missunderstood...
Thats the TOTAL Israel lets in...

Some is direct aid from Israel but most is aid they allow through but the 15000 tons is TOTAL.... Aint much for 2m people to survive, let alone rebuild

reply to post by virgom129

Gotcha, I thought you did the Math... per a person if everybody in Gaza got Aid...
but If the shoe was on the other foot, how much aid could Israel expect?
