Over 5000 have been fired since Israel withdrew all its troops, settlers and settlements from Gaza and left it a 'Jew Free Zone'. And each one of those 5000 rockets were launched in the hope that it would kill or maim Israeli civilians
    I wonder who owned that Israeli civilian's land in 1946? I wonder if that person was paid for it when they left...

    The British!

    And if they were paid for the land they were paid highly inflated prices because they knew Jews would pay it.

    Ignoring the little fact that Palestinians, Muslim, Christian and Jew owned their own property while they were ruled by Britian, aren't you?
    Would you be saying that the English don't own their own property in England because it is ruled by the British?

    What I would like to know is why everyone is silent on Egypt - which has control of a significant border with Gaza (no Israeli soldiers there), but does not let refugees out and supplies in.

    Israel and the Palestinians are at war but Egypt is neutral and does not seem to follow the humanitarian requirements for a neutral country.

    Egypt is a dictatorship paid for by the US. They can't fart without permission.

    Maybe because that would not advance anti-Israeli campaign?
    It is the same silence those posters show when confronted by the fact that Egypt, Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries blame Hammas for provoking Israel and bringing death to the Palestinians. They think that if they ignore it, readers here wont notice they have no ground to stand on in this debate and others.

    my guess is that the israeli 'hot violence', US 'cold violence' and EU complicity is depressing enough; Arab league hypocracy and betrayal yet another ugly aspect that could make one apathetic.

    Ye. Seems like Iran, Syria, Hizballah, Hammas and you and few others are the last to defend real truth. Shape airline security is so strict these days. Ha?

    hamas represents a real problem for the like of the arab league and egypt in particular . An actual popularly elected leadership itself representative of the arab street . It is in their interests therefore to be neutral on the side of the Israelis in the hope of regime change in Gaza . Thats why Livni was able to declare war upon gaza whislt standing on egyptian soil .
    much the same way as Rumsfeld declared war upon Iraq while standing in Co Clare . Egypt has irish style neutrality .
