Israeli documents show a deliberate policy of keeping Gazans hungry

98%? Really? 90% of his conclusions are that the Muslims are trying to take over the world, starting with the freedoms of the Western world. I could go on and on, but his craziness is wihtout bounds. Have not seen too many posts from you that would indicate these nutty views.

Have to admit, at least you post your actual opinions, I think I've repped you for that before, you have your fair share of fans on here, but not too many want to put their username in that kind of mud. Btw I think you should read a book titled:"A World Without Islam" written by an x-CIA agent.

 

I'm actually critical of how Israel treats Gaza and have stated that many times here. I just choose to take a counter position to all the Israel hate by some of the Muslim and leftist posters.

 

That is one horrible mistype. I should say disagree

I should edit that.

 

Well let's have a report on the deliberate withholding of calories from Gazans from the BBC. The secret memo was obtained in litigation by an Israeli human rights group.

It is not an Arabic site.


BBC News has seen documents, submitted to an Israeli Court, which give more detail than ever before about how and why Israel maintains its Gaza blockade.

****

Now, after several months' waiting, the state has given its response to the court, in a written submission, seen by the BBC.

It throws a small pool of light on the process behind the blockade.

The overall rationale is set out, in bold type: "The limitation on the transfer of goods is a central pillar in the means at the disposal of the State of Israel in the armed conflict between it and Hamas."

The Israeli authorities also confirm the existence of four documents related to how the blockade works: how they process requests for imports into Gaza, how they monitor the shortages within Gaza, their approved list of what is allowed in, and a document entitled "Food Consumption in the Gaza Strip - Red Lines" which sets out the minimum calorie intake needed by Gaza's million and a half inhabitants, according to their age and sex.

AroundTheWorld getting owned again! Lol, its happened so many times, you would think this guy would learn his lesson and stop making himself look silly, but no he keeps posting the same old garbage and embarrassing himself. Keep it up, it's entertaining!

 

Why can't we all go back to when we used to just ignore ATW? Anyone who disagrees with him is an Islamist leftist. Whatever the hell that even means.

 

Where is JuanValdez to call out this offensive post!

 

Another non Arab source.

****************

Israel's policy was summed up by Dov Weisglass, an adviser to Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, earlier this year. 'The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,' he said. The hunger pangs are supposed to encourage the Palestinians to force Hamas to change its attitude towards Israel or force Hamas out of government

Making the Palestinians actually starve would be bad pr I guess is their theory.

 

Of course the Palestinians have the same noses since dna shows they're identical to those Jews who haven't intermarried with too many Euros and other ethnicities.

 

Yep. They are all Semitic people.

 

Having read the linked document, I could not find a single reference to starvation level diets. In point of fact, the only product that they give hard numbers for in the document is fuel, which they seem to provide at 33% above daily consumption. They provide a formula for the calculation of quotas, but that formula results in not only the needs of the populace being met, but also an additional stockpile being maintained (called breathing room in the translation). There is a reference to potentially not maintaining this stockpile (by not adjusting the daily transfer quota upward when stores fall below the warning line) in cases of "deliberate restriction", but it also says there was NO deliberate restriction of basic products. Can anyone point out a reference in these documents that supports the allegations being made?

 

Could you ever imagine talking about this subject in terms of happening in the United States? Forget the fact about whether they are "technically" starving or not. The fact that they have limits is inhumane in the first place, I don't care how much they keep it above their f*****g daily quota.

 

Do you think Palestinians can really openly criticize Palestine government safely?

 

Women are the reason for most of the rapes in the world.

 

I have read excerpts and some reviews of the book. I think the guy has a strong anti-Israel bias and is wrong on his main points. His theories do not explain Islamist terror in other parts of the world than the Middle East.

 

Poor analogy.

 

These are serious allegations, with apparently supporting documentary evidence.

If you posted something similar about some Islamic regime, and people dismissed it with the words "I'm just taking a counter position to your Muslim hate", I wonder how you'd take that?

 

Yep... people sure do be hatin some jews.

 

Why do you ask "if"? Is this not happening? People have been wrongly accusing me of hating muslims here for a while now, and basically every thread in which I post samples of terrorism in the name of islam turns into a display of hate (from islamists and a few leftists) against me as the messenger.
