BBC NEWS | Middle East | UN halts Gaza aid over 'thefts'

Now I realize that the phrase 'Thieving Arabs' is very likely quite true.
It is my understanding that their 'holey book' forbids such practices and indeed stipulates the cutting off of a hand for those who indulge in the crime of theft.

This food aid was for the benefit of ALL Palestinians in need of such aid, not for the financial benefit of Hamas.

Do you want their hands removed?

Good. There was no logical rational for sending the aid in the first place. Of course it was going to be seized. These people didn't blink an eye when they directly caused thousands of their "countrymen" to be blown to pieces in retaliation.

 

[jujuman13]

Laila, I expect them to adhere to the rules their religion states as they adhere strictly to the same rules for those they govern.
To do otherwise is sheer hypocrasy.

In their view they don’t steal, exactly like in your view you don’t lie when you lie almost each time when you open your mouth

Pretty heavy justone...,and the lie, and the steal are the basis of nearly all immorality. Thats way over the top for the UN though.

Very true....

The thought had occured. A brainotomy would work better though. Hammas is mentaly ill. Hey better yet you could stop supporting them with your "global hugs".

Laila just a few weeks ago you spent hours on line condemning Israel for cruelty towards Gaza civilians as the air attacks pounded Gaza. Now that Hamas is stealing the aide that is intended for these very same civilians are you going to defend the Hamas?

It strikes me that had the positions of Hamas and Israel been reversed, would Hamas have permitted any aid whatsoever into Israel.
Somehow I doubt they would.

Laila posts her own point of view as everyone does everyone else.
However if someone can prove that my point of view is incorrect, I would gladly write an apology.

You would have to appologize for the half of your posts.
Laila - for the most of hers.

Do you choose to think that your points had not been disproved numorous amount of times in the past or you choose to think that you applogized even once?

Both choices are lies.

Almost each time when you open your mouth it means you have made a choice between lies.

I asked 1 question and you glean that i am supporting Hamas in that one question? :roll:

I agree, so then we should cut off their hands?

 

[ludahai]

I'd rather do more than that - something like have them "assume room temperature" then send them "six feet under" works better for me.

No it just seemed that you were changing your position towards the treatment of civilians when hamas does something negative as to when isreal does something negative.

If I misunderstood you then I apologize.

Oh, this is too good an opportunity to pass up.....


I've been waiting for the routine journalists and typical Palestinian "supporters" to blast the UN for their decision to halt goods to the poor Palestinian people. Or for the criticisms, which were loudly afforded to Israel for not allowing aid into the area for reasons of Hamas to be given to the UN for the same reasons. Barely a blip so far.

Seems to me that Hamas continues to get the breaks and all criticisms continue to be reserved for Israel. Even though we are looking at one more example of how Muslims treat their own. Didn't we see this exact same thing in Somalia? The UN mission to feed the hungry turned into a military mission to keep warlords and militias from stealing food meant for their people. The west was all about pointing out the enemy then. But Hamas? Oh no. Criticism must be reserved for Israel. It doesn't seem to matter that Palestinians were massacred by the tens of thousands in Jordan by Muslims. It doesn't matter that Palestinians were slaughtered and camps raided during the Lebanese/Syrian Civil War by Muslims. It doesn't matter that Hamas steals from Palestinians to fight their endless pointless war at Palestinian expense. To all these true Palestinian murderers all around Israel and all the western critics who declare their care for Palestinians, Israel remains the focus for Palestinian plight.

The sham reveals itself often enough. People pretend or actually believe that this conflict is about Palestiniains. It isn't. When we see Palestiniains slaughtered by Muslims all around Israel by Muslims and Hamas stealing from them in order to continue the fight, the conclusion must be that this is about destroying the Jewish nation in their midst. All other things are secondary. Why else would "Palestinian Independance" be an Arab goal, despite occupying the land for centuries, only after Jews were given a roof? Why else Is Israel declared the Palestinain murdered quite loudly to the world by Arabs, despite them slaughtering and massacring far more Palestiniains from campaign to campaign?

The fact is that most people who care about Palestinians only truly care about criticizing Israel. Otherwise, the UN would be on blast for doing exactly what Israel did and for the same reasons. Otherwise, Hamas would be criticized just as loudly for causing the wreckage in Gaza in the first place and later stealing the aid meant for the victims of retaliation.

But....nothing. Especially from those on this site who have made their opinions heard when Israel gets to be the focus. Palestiniains simply don't matter to Westerners or Arabs unless Israel can be the culprit.

You're right on the mark. Rather than a cause-célèbre... some posters here consider the Palestinians as merely another useful and convenient bludgeon.

Oh...but...but..they care! A Palestinian's worst enemy has always been another Muslim and the western critic who absolves these Arab Muslims for the sake of clinging to the grand lie.

Israel wouldn't get criticized if it allowed 100% of the humanitarian aid to come through the border crossings. But it does not.

There are cause and effects to all issues.

Israel gets criticized for the direction that wind blows. And I believe the title here is "UN halts aid...." They halted aid because Hamas kept stealing it from the very people they are supposed to represent to wage their never-ending pointless feud. And before the UN did this, Israel halted aid from going in for the very real probability (which the UN was gracious enough to prove) that Hamas would attempt to replenish, refeul, and regroup. Israel got put on blast. The UN is forgiven for proving them right?

But you prove a little of what I stated by jumping right to Israel. And speaking of "cause and effects"......would Gaza look like it does today if Hamas truly represented their people and not the impossible Arab goal? Even Arafat woke up in the end.

All I got to say is this.... If your family was starving and you saw food right in front of you... would you take it if they weren't ready for the trails of the world and accept eternal punishment as we are taught by stealing to feed um?

I don't know if this is the case... But I am arguing the far point like I always had/have in life.

Look at Katrina. American men that needed food where surely shot down. But the media only highlighted the ones taking T.V.s. Do you get the point I'm trying to make anyone?

 

[Tashah]

No. I don't get your point. Try it again.

 

[dirtpoorchris]

No. I don't get your point. Try it again.

How many aid shipments where received compared to people that need it. Basic equation. If need is greater than supply SOMEONE will take it. (My point in its most basic essence.)

 

[Tashah]

Quit making excuses for Hamas thievery.

 

[dirtpoorchris]

Quit making excuses for Hamas thievery.

*sigh


Whatever.

Maybe I am wrong and have a severe underdog cheer leading syndrome.. So then what group do the looters during Katrina that got shot compare to if they resemble something eerily familiar(to me) to this? (Sorry for my limited American comparisons. [Relating to those that where treated mistreated]) Because you sure have to search for the negative truth to find out.

WTF is up with that paragraph structure?
