Have you seen a SINGLE underfed Pal? They are OBESE Well, the UN disagree's with you. Gaza has one of the highest rate of malnourished children in the world, worse than most places in Sub-Saharan Africa Israel SUPPLIES Pals with food, water, electricity, medications... things they never even KNEW about under Egyptian and Jordanian occupation. Israel STILL supplies these things to the Pals. Why don't you go to Gaza and look at the situation yourself? Maybe, just maybe you'll see the picture the rest of us see. Gaza's not that far from Jerusalem, I'm sure it's not that hard to make the trip.

al Shafiq crows from his minaret: "you deliberately starve people; starve them of their livelihood, medical goods, and electricity" Have you seen a SINGLE underfed Pal? They are OBESE! Look at the photos. Compare them with Darfurian Christians who REALLY ARE being starved in the name of Mohammed. Israel SUPPLIES Pals with food, water, electricity, medications… things they never even KNEW about under Egyptian and Jordanian occupation. Israel STILL supplies these things to the Pals. Listen to Obama. Be honest. Even in public. Hmmm… probably impossible for the al Shagiq…

al Shafiq – Hah! Good one. I see what you've done there – Clever! And obviously, Israel never hit Gaza during this period and the blockade was nothing but an illusion. Something I've realised is that, when you deliberately starve people; starve them of their livelihood, medical goods, and electricity; stop them from leaving their own land (or entering), even when they have scholarships to university abroad; they tend to do funny things like fire rockets (home-made ones that don't fire well)

Abu Shafiq, I can do much better, but I am being kind to you… so far… That you are a liar and apparently unaware of simple facts and current events has been demonstrated in many exchanges with you. It therefore remains a fact. No, I am not 12. Keep guessing… P.S. You haven't addressed a single point I made. YOu really don't like the facts, do you? All hail Alla the Merciful? Off with your heads????

al Shafiq has returned! All Praise to Allah!!! al Shafiq, lookup QASSAM. The "peaceful sleeping people of Gaza" have fired over 8,000 rockets at CIVILIAN ISRAELI TARGETS in the past 2 years or so. In VIOLATION OF GENEVA CONVENTIONS AND ALL MORAL STANDARDS. When Israel FINALLY FIRED BACK, you act so suprised??? As for Arabs blaming everyone else, have a look at what Arab dissidents say about this. Arabs are famous for blaming everyone but themselves. Pals are just champions at this.

It is the American people who must restrain themselves and withhold gifts of arms to these misguided, Israeli killers.

I'm sure they wish they had modern weapons to exact as much harm on Israeli civilians as they could. That proves the IDF point, sadly. And how exactly did you come to that conclusion? There are more effective ways to achieve Palestinian goals than terror on civilians. I'd respect you a lot more if you actually listed these ways and explained to me why (with minimal Hasbara) they are more effective.

Yes of course. It's the Palestinians' fault that the IDF flew planes over them and bombed their houses whilst they were sleeping inside. And of course the inferior Arabs love to blame everyone but themselves. After all, they are slimy, sub-human creatures coming in the way of the US (the Greatest Nation in the World) and Jewish Israel (God's Chosen People)

It happens with anyone that bears arms, relative to those that don't.

In the decision to resume shelling of Israeli civilians at the end of December, were there dissenters to that conclusion? What were their arguments? In retrospect, do think that decision to resume shelling of Israeli civilians was a good one? Do you think that it improved the welfare of Gazans? In your current policy of not shelling Israeli civilians, are you satisfied with the results? Do you intend to regard that as a basis of negotiation with Israel directly or by proxy? Are you sincere that you are willing to co-exist with Israel? Are you willing to abide by treaties and other international written agreements that the PA entered with Israel, US, Arab, European states?
