Mocking the Righteous

Israel stands condemned with America and Iran agreeing on one course at the United Nations- Israel deserves the harshest criticism that world body can dish out. The cargo carried by the alleged "aid convoy" is rejected by Hamas authorities in Gaza, I suppose because it has been handled and thereby sullied by the Jews. It just would not be kosher. So the humanitarian crisis in Gaza must not be that dire even though Andrea Mitchell on NBC Nightly News last evening aired a poor, deprived Palestinian family in Gaza who had only a little cooking oil and a few vegetables on which to survive. As if Ms. Mitchell could not find someone hungry in America despite our plethora of readily available food and use this sophistry to make a blanket indictment proving widespread hunger exists in the United States. Total bull- there is surfeit food in Gaza and Israel allows in more every day. The conditions in Gaza are not ideal only because war was waged from there on Israel from the moment Israeli forces left- Israeli greenhouses that had been productive and profitable and had been left in place as Israel evacuated to provide the Palestinians of Gaza a leg up were systematically looted and destroyed by the Islamists to rid the Jewish taint, and the Karni Crossing where most of the commerce passed between Israel and Gaza was consistently shelled by Palestinian mortar bombs each time Israel tried to open the way toward more easy trade. Even Egypt has closed the gates on their border with Gaza because of the fear of the fundamentalist Muslim violence emanating from there. Israel is being crucified for the crime of being Jewish and engaged in self-defense.
