Because the US is unable to print these actions ..... it makes Israel look bad.
It also shows the total failure of US Middle East policy and how totally inept the Government has been in enforcing these so-called "Agreements". They sign a piece of paper and walk away.

AND WE ARE GIVING HUGE SUMS OF MONEY TO ISRAEL EACH MONTH SO THAT THEY CAN ARM THEMSELVES AND DO EVEN MORE DAMAGE.

They are even setting their sights on Iran - with our taxpayer money.

Think about that! A basic idea would be to withhold ALL monies and tell them to get to work IMMEDIATELY.

THIS IS SO ISRAEL - THEY HAVE TO RE-VISIT THEIR WW2 ORDEAL ON A NEIGHBOUR FROM WHOM THEY ARE STEALING EDUCATION, HEALTH, LAND AND LIVELIHOODS ON A DAILY BASIS.

Surely, I ask myself, the Torah teaches something about values, humanity, discussion, resolving differences, not stealing or coveting - what book are they reading today and where is their teaching on this subject? The Rabbis strut about and teach more of the same as if their ordeal is an excuse - I don't get it. Surely if they suffered so desperately you would think they could see what they are doing - but no. The Israelis are not guilt-free or eligible to keep casting these stones.

Their behaviour over the years is quite egotistical, greedy, aggressive and disgusting.

How is it that Gaza is in such bad shape that they have not one but now two satellite TV channels?

I'll bet you like shiny things.........Now if we can get back to the subject of the blockade.
A blockade is an act of war............let's pray for some karma to take it from here.

How is it that Israel supports Palestine as nation, yet it keeps letting people go settle in their areas etc...

How is it that Israel decides that Aid can't be given to a nation in need?
