Blockade of Gaza

Palestinian residents of Gaza are facing a crippling blockade by Israel. Being caged in like animals is not enough - no, no mere degradation is enough in this case. Better add a little starvation to get a better result.

The principle of punishing people for voting has been established. Don't complain when it happens to you. But I'm sure some wingnut out there has reliable information on how Palestinian Gazans are actually enjoying feasts and dances at every mealtime.

This quote, from the ever-lovable Dov Weisglass, was certainly the high-point of the article:

Israel's policy was summed up by Dov Weisglass, an adviser to Ehud Olmert, the Israeli Prime Minister, earlier this year. 'The idea is to put the Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger,' he said.

Weisglass, of course, was also advisor to Ariel Sharon. Maybe if Weisglass had advised his fat fuck of a war criminal boss to go on his own "diet", Sharon might not be brain-dead in a hospital. But, leaving Sharon aside, it's funny how the fat and wealthy are always the ones talking about how the poor need diets, crash programs, and pain. They should try it themselves sometime.
