How do you begin to refute an article which is essentially a string of lies? I am a proud Palestinian-American whose parents were forced in fear for their lives by armed Zionist thugs from their homes near what is now the Ben Gurion Airport (Lid/Lod) into Gaza in 1948. I just returned from Gaza less than three weeks ago. I can tell you from first-hand experience and internationally documented facts, not Zionist propaganda, that the situation in Gaza is dire. The 100 trucks a day to which Mr. Rabinowitz refers represent far less than the bare minimum needed for the 1.6 million people living and dying in Gaza. If it wasn't for the tunnels from Egypt, many more people would die. The Palestinian Gazans do not need Israel or their Egyptian collaborators. All these people need is for the pirates of the Israeli Navy to stop interfering with Gaza's coastline and its access to international waters. If Gaza could control its own waters and (air space for that matter) it could freely import and export to the rest of the world and turn itself into another Hong Kong. Unfortunately, that is exactly what the powers that are now choking Gaza want to avoid. The siege is illegal,unjustified and inhuman. It must end now.
Another side of Gaza’s story
