Gaza farmers burn 3 tons of herbs after Israel closes border crossing ( http://www.israelhayom.com/site/newsletter_article.php?id=8599)
It’s ALWAYS Israel’s fault.
Never mind that Aza (Gaza) has
• An airport ( http://www.gazaairport.com/index.html) with scheduled airline service to Cairo and Amman, among other destinations ( http://www.palairlines.com/Fleet.aspx) By the way, check out the history of the airport and the airline; most interesting ( http://www.gazaairport.com/history.html)
• An open gateway to Egypt and its sea ports (( http://geography.about.com/library/cia/blcgaza.htm).
Also ignore the fact that when Sharon forced Jews out of Aza the Jews left behind hot houses and synagogues which the Muslims immediately destroyed, the former in violation of their Koran and the latter in simple stupidity and hatred of anything Jewish – never mind that many of the Jewish settlers probably were helonim (non observant).
It is interesting to note that when Egypt closes its border with Aza, the liberals of the world are strangely silent.
And in Occupied Israel (a/k/a “the West Bank”>
The instant “Palestinians” have access to the international marketplace via Jordan http://mideastweb.org/mpalestine.htm) as well as via Israeli gateways.
The fact that border crossings are burdensome might have something to do with the fact that terrorists use these access points to murder Israeli men, women, and babes in arms (literally).
SO WHY BLAME ISRAEL?
Because it is so easy. Duh!
Israel is expected to keep its borders open to people whose over-riding goal and purpose in life is to eliminate Israel and all the Jews within it – and if a few non-Jews are “eliminated” as well … ah well, collateral damage, the price of war.
Never mind that the U.S. has a fence – just like Israel – to keep Mexican’s in Mexico.
These Mexicans, for the most part, only want to take jobs Americans won’t do (due to the difficulty, perceived lack of prestige, or pay). Granted a few of the Mexicans are in the business of killing Americans, mostly with drugs, sometimes with guns and knives. But I cannot recall any time in recent history when the Mexican government fired missiles into the U.S. or encouraged suicide murderers to cross the border – unlike the governments and good people of Aza and Occupied Israel (i.e., the Palestinian “state”).
Israel provides electricity to the so-called Palestinian “state” yet the Palestinian “state” can’t or won’t pay its bill. That’s OK.
But when Israel withheld money collected for the PA to pay the electric company, the world howled – “Israel cannot do that; unfair, unkind.” Never mind that Israelis will have to pay more to their electricity to make up the deficit caused by the Palestinian “state”’s unwillingness or inability to pay.
The “state” is whining that its Arab benefactors are failing to pay what they promised; does anyone hear the world chastising the Muslims – either for (a) failing to make promised payments to the PA or (b) for the PA’s poor financial management.
It’s easier to blame Israel.
