 I don’t know, what is happening in Gaza, but I can smell a lot of foul stinking flavor over there. The US is supplying the civilians by air drops…hmmm. When I look on the map i can see a country that is 40 kilometers long and maximal 14 kilometers wide. There is a coastline 40 kilometers long!!! So they could bring everything from fresh drinking water to food and extras by sea. They could drown them in fresh water…But they don’t. If they would invest all the money that they invest to bring politicians to their blablabla conventions, to buy water and bring it by sea and if all the activists would support this by deeds instead of words like that Berlinale idiots who present themselves as heros…But they don’t, they are just blablaing on and on, but it stays blablabla. On the other hand: in the north and in the south there are muslim brothers and sisters. They could take the civilians and let them camp behind the border, even bring them there seaways…But they don’t! From the libanon they fire expensive missiles instead of taking out the civilians out of the fighting zone and helping their muslim brothers and sisters. It’s round about 20 kilometers from the farest point in the country to reach save ground and by seaway even less. But they have refugee camps in the middle of the fighting zone!!! This all sounds like a big farce to me and I guess that I am missing some important points here but it would be no problem to bring the people away from the fighting and bring em back, when there is less detonating over there but somehow I have the feeling that nobody in the world really wants to help the poor people. Just blabla and business as usual!!!!!
