Hamas refuses aid

[Usui Takumi 1,562]

According to the Liberal Israeli newsagency Haaretz, Hamas is refusing to allow aid from the Israeli raided flotilla entry into Gaza.

Ahmed al-Kurd, Social Welfare Minister in the Hamas government has given condtition to Israel before the cargo can enter. They are:

Israel must release all of the activists detained after Israel's interception of the Gaza-bound convoy and transfer all, not just part, of the seized cargo, Kurd said.

Ahmed al-Kurd also said that since the aid was organized by Turkey, it was that country that should decide which aid should be allowed into the Gaza strip.

Israel officials said that eight trucks loaded with goods from the flotilla were stuck at the Gaza crossing at Kerem Shalom. The Israeli official also denied reports that Israel had confiscated goods. He said they were still unloading cargo.

Prior to Monday's raid Israel had made the offer to activists to transfer goods to Gaza should they abandon their quest for entering Hamas controlled territory and diverted to Ashdod.

According to Haaretz when the offer was rejected, Israefrom l intercepted the convoy, in international waters, approximately 60 km offshore.

Hmm.......doesn't seem like Hamas care a whole lot about the people in Gaza. If there is food in that aid, and if people are really starving then one would think that Hamas might take it instead of holding it back in the hope they get concrete.

I will now await the predictable posts that claim Israel is responsible for Hamas' actions of refusing aid. After all Hamas can no wrong........

Hamas are savage terrorist scum. For them to deny their own people aid is par for the course.

Ahmed al-Kurd, Social Welfare Minister in the Hamas government has given condition to Israel before the cargo can enter.

Condition?

It's *your* aid, al-####### - if you don't want it, I'm sure Israel will be happy to send it back to the sender.

Don't worry, it will all be a story made-up by the pro-Israeli media to cast a false shadow on Hamas.

Or maybe they want to eat the concrete?

Clearly Hamas are playing the game here as well as any.

What did I tell you

Oh noes. Teh Hamas is going to build ginger bomb!!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!!!

The blockage of Gaza is meant to collectively punish the Palestinians, to slowly starve them to death so persecuted Jews can take over the land afterward.

You realize that Israel forcibly removed Jewish people from Gaza just 5 years ago at great expense? The only thing I don't get on that list is the dried fruit / nuts.

By the way, its quite clear what Israels intentions are with that list. They are letting food/supplies in, but they don't want Gaza to develop any type of sustainable farming. That would negate the blockade.

How on earth can they justify banning such arbitrary items?

This demonstrates what should have been blatantly obvious before. Hamas is holding the Palestinian people hostage, exacerbating the suffering in order to try and obtain more leverage.

You jackel, Hamas was elected to power by the people. Is your memory so feeble? Hamas isn't holding Palestinian hostage. It's holding an IDF soldiers a hostage. Lol. You silly.

The goal of the blockade is to collectively punish the Palestinian people into submission of Israeli wills, namely total annihlation of Arabs in Palestine. Those Arabs are so stupid for not going to their national suicide quickly. How dare they want to live and with dignity, with hospitals, schools, and work, and other such things like that.

Also calling someone a Jackal is a personal attack, if you disagree with a person's opinion thats cool, but don't attack the poster, attack the post.
