ahad ha’amoratsim, we can debate whether or not Israel was right to close it off in the first place. That is not relevant, though, once the truce included Israel agreeing to stop. Once they agreed to do so, and didn’t, they were the ones that broke the truce. There other very small violations by both sides, but that one is the dealbreaker, the pertinent fact that most people are unaware of.
Question, how can I be deceiving by not mentioning that, when practically every person on Earth knows about it? That was half of my point, the omission of critical information that is barely known by your audience. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t see how I’ve done that.

The one sided news media will not change. They blamed the USA for 9/11, are upset that we ended WWII with bombs over Hiroshima, and support people who scream “Death to Jews, Death to Israel” on the streets in NY. They demand that Italian Jews display Stars of David in their shops to promote boycotts. We see “Jews” tie themselves and block buildings that house the Israeli Consulate, all while radical and political Islam make British TV shows remove crosses from Churches so as not to “offend” Muslims. Muslims have played the victim and race card, and the media has bought into the “if the glove don’t fit, you must acquit” mentality. We live in a world like “Alice in Wonderland” only it is not so wonderful. Off with their heads is a daily occurance in the Middle East while we have Lancet and moronic Jews aid and abet the perpetrators of human rights abuses. Bravo to the Medical writers who spoke out, as telling the truth today, is not welcomed, and rags like the Lancet, New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and other bird cage liners hopefully will be out of business soon. When the National Enquirer has more crediability then the grey lady, we know we are seeing a world gone mad.

Maestro, to leave out the facts leading up to Israel’s closure of its border with Gaza is even more deceiving. What about the hundreds of rocket attacks, the shootings, the bombings and attempted bombings that preceded the closure? What about the other acts of war that Hamas committed well before the closures occurred? In your own words, your omission is beyond a judgment call and beyond an oversight.

What you say is true, but there is one very important thing you have left out. We all understand chronologies and timelines have to leave out certain details. However, to have a chronology that leaves out the embargo on Gaza is beyond a judgment call, beyond an oversight, it is outright deceiving to those who don’t know about it. I am by no means defending the terrorist actions taken by Hamas, they are disgusting thugs, and that’s being kind. However, from what I’ve seen of it, your writing portrays the Israeli government as essentially blameless. An embargo is an act of war, and the Israeli government agreed to stop it, yet did not, merely relaxing it a little. I believe that those of us skeptical of all sides of these issues would take your defenses of Israel far more seriously if they acknowledged such important facts.

I believe if you go to http://www.pmw.co.il you can watch the indoctrination of children, along with music videos about how bombs are more precious to “palestinian” mothers then their children are.
This is proven by the way the billions that have been pumped into Gaza have been spent on weapons rather then food. If you can smuggle in thousands of rockets, it shouldn’t be too hard to bring in groceries. Or could this all be an the intentional brutalization of civilians (with an overwhelming number of them consenting and actively involved) to promote Jew hatred? Let’s think…

The rockets launched by Hamas serve no military purpose whatsoever. They were launched because either Israel would not respond, proving that Israelis are weak and cowardly, or else Israel would respond, proving that Israelis are murderers. By hiding in thickly populated areas, schools, hospitals, etc., Hamas is accomplishing two goals: (1) it is allowing the victims to be martyred and thus have instant access to heaven, and (2) it is showing the world how brutal Israel is. The leaders of Hamas believe martyrdom is beautiful; nevertheless, they let others be martyred rather than themselves. The world loves them.
