  1. Lets be honest. Egypt has also kept the border with gaza closed and is thus affecting the economy. Secondly, all the people of gaza have to do is stop waging war against israel and everything improves. What this means for the simpletons is that the people of gaza are hurting themselves by their own actions.

  2. It all started with the Balfour Declaration, "a public statement issued by the British government in 1917 during World War I announcing support for the establishment of a 'national home for the Jewish people' in Palestine." Imagine if a foreign country, due to their own wars, declared the establishment of a national home for Mexicans in the US, and Americans were later blockaded inside a tiny region, with more land seized by the day and homes destroyed and people killed. There would be war. But when Palestinians and supporters resist, they are branded terrorists and racists while the real terrorists and ethnic nationalists are given cover. Ridiculous. This is the crux of the battle between Western hegemony vs. threats to it. The modern state of Israel is unjustifiable.

  3. Dr. Omar Shaban is talking PS, what kind of peace he is looking for and which 2 state. I am not pro Hamas, but at the same time PA is not doing anything for the poor Palestinian. They are corrupt and there job is a police to Israel.
    I personally believe in one state for all, and most of who was fooled by Zionism and came from Europe and US will go back.

  4. the situation in Palestine will come to America one day. it's already too late. one day, the Security Apparatus will be turned on Americans. The Evil Empire must burn and start anew.

  5. Matthew 22:37,39 is a reminder of the same in Torah. Israel is not following it. There will be a "happy ending" for this Earth someday. But now!? gross what they have done to the Palestinian neighbors 😔

  6. Before Hamas violent takeover in 2007 the Gaza border was flexible. Gazans found work in Israel medical care went to university and traded goods with Israel.
    Hamas has sent tens of thousands rockets at civilian areas in Israel. It has committed terrorist attacks on innocent Israeli citizens Arab an Jew. Kidnapped Israeli soldiers and taken dead and a dying soldier as bargaining chips. It's latest misadventure has cost the lives of Gazans as they are just a means to an end. This cynical disregard for human life has led to protests which have been put down brutally.
    The Hamas and the Hamas alone is responsible for the poverty and depression in Gaza.
