Everybody say "Oy..."

eumeliaI don't think I need to inform or tell people what has been going on in Gaza for the past... what? Week? Maybe a little more.
It is terrible what Israel is doing to the people of Gaza, I think Israel has made blunders and big mistakes in handling the situation of the Quassam rockets onto Sderot (which is what brought about the siege).
What's worse is that Hamas, while being the government of Gaza, don't know how to govern, taking absolutely no responsibility of their own people and trying to get the attention of the world by laying the entire blame on Israel.
No one is in the okay here except the citizens of Gaza, Sderot and the kibbutzim of the West Negev.
Now that the border with Egypt is broken through it's high time for Egypt to get involved in Humanitarian aid, which they should have have done long before now, but like the rest of the Arab and Muslim nations surrounding this little stretch of land, they don't care and as long as there's someone fighting the "Zionist Entity" which can't be linked back to this or that specific state all the better.
The only countries that integrated the Palestinians refugees into their own population (and even that took a while) were Jordan and Kuwait, the rest (Lebanon, Egypt and Syria) pretty much kept them as they're now living in Gaza and the Occupied territories, little hovels and refugee camps. And the money Fatah and Hamas got for well meaning states, countries and foundations have been either taken to line the upper echelons pockets or to continue the funding of the guerrilla warfare they are so good at.
Israel, as a current Occupying force in the West Bank and a former Occupying force in Gaza (though Gaza is still dependent on Israel's resources) has a responsibility towards the mess they left behind, because it is the mess we created and abandoned in the hopes that something would happen, good or bad, but disconnected from us.
Certain MK's want this disconnect to happen sooner than later, so the cut off from our resources... what the fuck are they supposed to build in that shit-hole when they have no infrastructure to build on.
Meanwhile Egypt is going to keep the borders open and MP Olmert states he won't let a Humanitarian crisis develop... that is, beyond what's already happened, obviously.
I'm sure the Islamic Brotherhood is doing some "light persuading" in the higher bureaucratic offices of President Mubarak.
I have no doubt that as soon as Mubarak has finished "playing nice" to the world the Gazans will be shoved back into the shit-hole they call home.
A little food for thought; Amira Haas writes that the border breaching has been planned for months.
Dude.
