things mostly not being discussed re Gaza: 1: Egypts complicity in enforcing a 100% blockade at their border with Gaza - including things like food, medicine, construction materials being allowed IN to Gaza, as well as an escape route for anyone at all including the elderly, children, the disabled etc, thus they cannot rightly use the excuse that they do not want terrorists entering Egypt. 2: Those nations in the Middle East who receive billions upon billions of dollars in US aid have been deafeningly silent. [Also - Egypt and Israel are the two biggest recipients of US aid money in the world.] 3: A 2 or 3 state solution is an apartheid solution. There needs to be a one state solution, carving up what was until 1947 Palestine into two or three states based solely on ethnicity is no different than South Africas half hearted attempts at creating autonomous black townships and the free orange states etc in the 1980s. [Similarly, the South African governments repeated attacks on black south africans and the need for fences and walls to insure separation were all based on the claim that they needed to exist in order to stop black terrorists from entering white territory. When South Africa officially ended legal apartheid guess what - it turned out there was no need for those barriers because terrorism stopped once a tangible effort at equality was made by the South African government. An historical lesson perhaps?] 4: What are the positions of the various Israeli parties currently in the parliament regarding this mess? Are there opposition voices, who are they and why? 5: What is the specific reason/reasons behind the fact that the United States was the only nation in the UN to vote no against even an investigation into the possibility of war crimes? Cultural, religious, economic, history, habit? If we supposedly dont have enough money to take care of our veterans or make sure the citizens of detroit have access to the most basic of necessities - water - why do we send Israel all that money, especially when they are an economically thriving nation with enough nuclear warheads to wipe out every major city in the Middle East. 6: Netanyahu was raised in the philly suburb of Cheltenham. What role does his American citizenship/nationality play in both his views as well as his political popularity and relation with US power and money? [from wikipedia: Between 1956 and 1958, and again from 1963 to 1967,[15] his family lived in the United States in Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Philadelphia, where he attended and graduated from Cheltenham High School and was active in a debate club. To this day, he speaks American English with a Philadelphia accent.
