All I see is garbage
The shortage of fuel has forced garbage pickups to temporarily stop so there is garbage overflowing in the streets of every city and town in Gaza threatening health and hygiene. Just yesterday I looked out my window and saw small children wading through a garbage heap. Tomorrow, I've called together representatives from Palestinian organizations to set up some voluntary garbage collection to alleviate this problem.

So, ksm, the people of Gaza must pay for their "mistake" of voting with their lives and their children's lives?
What utter gall. What rubbish.
Who is Israel to kill children until their parents vote the way Israel wants?

Palestinian children killed in the shelling of a non-violent demonstration
Ten-year-old Walid Naji Abu Qamar,
11-year old Mubarak Salim al-Hashash
and 13-year-old Mahmoud Tariq Mansour
were among eight UNARMED demonstrators killed in the early afternoon of 19 May 2004 in Rafah, in the Gaza Strip, when the Israeli army open fire on a non-violent demonstration with tank shells and a missile launched from a helicopter gunship.
Dozens of other unarmed demonstrators were wounded in the attack.
Amnesty International delegates were in the vicinity of the demonstration at the time of the incident.
They saw Israeli army helicopters hovering over the area and dropping what appeared to be flares, followed by several rounds of heavy shelling.
According to Israeli army and government officials, tanks shelled a nearby empty building and a helicopter fired a missile in a nearby open space in order to deter the demonstrators from proceeding towards Israeli army positions.

Isreal has no rights to kill anybody outside its boundary.
