Hope for Gaza, headache for Israel as border opens at Rafah
Loading...
Uploaded by RussiaToday on May 28, 2011
After 4 years under total lockdown, Gaza's 1.5 million residents finally have a gateway to the outside world. Egypt's dropped the stringent security that Israel insisted on for its border crossing with the blockaded region. Israel's long struggled to keep Gaza's borders watertight, depriving people there in the hope of forcing Hamas out of power. Human rights groups cite the massive humanitarian cost - from food shortages, to the sick being unable to leave for simple treatment. But, as Paula Slier reports, a lifeline for Palestinians is a real headache for Tel Aviv.

Israel wants peace, yeah, right, after stole most of the land from Arabs!

I cant see any hope for paul gascoigne here at all

Israel obviously has no intention of making peace.
They're just doing the PR peace dance, with bombs in their pockets and dark conquest in their cold hearts.

Israel keeps dumping pretty PR over its bullshit.
But the world can still smell it.
Yes, Hamas is like a trigger that Israel keeps pulling.

If Hamas stops fighting then Israel will make peace

@sam7748 not only history but the majority of the world is against israel. Only corrupt governments are backing up israel because they get funds from israeli lobbies. Thats it. The world is waking up to this terrorism that is supported by their countries. Its only a matter of time, i wish hamas would stop firing rockets and just gain their independence through peace. Israel wants hamas to fight so they can kill more people and take more land. If hamas is peaceful, israel has no excuse to bomb

I suspect the people crying about getting hit with rockets are residents of some illegal settlement to begin with. I dont feel sorry for them at all. Nor do I want any more of my tax money spent on defending these squatters.
Kudos to you Egypt for doing the right thing.
Fuck Israel.
