Downing Street reports on Prime Minister Cameron’s cosy chat with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu:
“The PM also stressed the importance of urgently lifting the blockade of Gaza, and allowing full access for humanitarian aid.”
William Hague:
“I call on the Government of Israel to open the crossings to allow unfettered access for aid to Gaza, and address the serious concerns about the deterioration in the humanitarian and economic situation and about the effect on a generation of young Palestinians.”
Nick Clegg (Deputy Prime Minister)
“… unjustified and untenable blockade of Gaza… what is going on in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe”
Yet all three also say Israel has a right to defend itself against attack. They do not see the contradiction.
Clearly none of them is prepared to even mention Hamas and its genocidal intent. None of them is prepared to do the slightest research into the organisers or con-dem the Turkish government for allowing the provocation. In other words, Israel must allow ‘unfettered access’ so that its enemies can supply its other enemies with rockets and weaponry to further persecute their war of terror against Israel.
So you now know what you voted for, guys, more craven surrender-monkeys who are quite happy to see NATO or the US flatten a few villages in Afghanistan or for the Sri Lankan government to cover up massacres or the North Koreans to sink ships or for the Turks to bomb Kurds or the Americans to detain people illegally and torture them, to target Al Qaeida leaders… you get the idea. But Israel must surrender to Hamas.
If Nick Clegg (Deputy Prime Minister – why does that sound so strange still) actually believes there is a humanitarian disaster in Gaza then why does he not attack the prime cause of that disaster, namely Hamas. No-one is starving in Gaza (see my post here)
And why do none of them ask Egypt to open ITS borders? Are they so new in office that they are not aware that Egypt lets in absolutely ZIP!
Update: The Egyptians have decided to open the Rafah crossing. But what exactly is coming through?
Update: David Miliband is no better just to be politically balanced on this. Politicians say what they think they should say, that’s why they are politicians.
