Christian Aid report malnutrition in Gaza as bad as Zimbabwe, blames Israel
The disturbing report, Losing ground: Israel, poverty and the Palestinians, examines in detail how Israel's occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip has been the primary cause of the destruction of the Palestinian economy and widespread malnutrition.
The report calls on the Israeli's to respect international law including the 4th Geneva Convention which forbids collective punishment and the seizure and destruction of municipal property and key UN resolutions related to land and settlement. A main conclusion of the report is that a just and lasting peace for both communities and hope for the eradication of poverty requires an end to Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, through a peace process based on international law.
The report is also addressed to the International Community, including Britain, who have continued to fail to exert pressure and work proactively to resolve the complex set of problems which contribute to the slide into poverty. The report calls on the Department of Trade and Industry to explain how Israel's status as a target market for preferential trade is compatible with Israeli's failure to comply with international law.

There was a recent report on Israeli troops destroying tons of food in a UN storage facility. So, the international community pays for food for the starved Palestinians and the Israelis destroy that food.
Thanks for the info about your uncle. Interesting that you spend so much time typing your messages from Israel, day after day, hour after hour.
Who's paying you?
(Our tax dollars at work, I suspect.)
wanna make a (Shin) Bet?

Right!
Sure, I believe that.
That makes a lot of sense.
Of course, why would I have thought otherwise.
Sounds reasonable to me.
He makes a strong case
Let's give him a chance
In fact, let's give em 14 $ billion dollars

Gee, I hope he doesn't get in trouble. He's here, and then "puff" he's gone. All his posts vanishing. Well, maybe he'll be back under a different name. Hope Shin bet isn't mad at him. Or is it Mossad?
Yes, he was here, and now he's gone. Where are all those posts by "ender"? Does Indy Media have a means for commentors to "take back" their posts.
