| Ms Bond 'I didn't look for when all the restrictions on the people on where and how they go about their legitimate business eg looking after their olive groves started. These people have not been free for years with increasing restrictions creating a situation resembling the apartheid of South Africa. After all if the people were or had been free to move around then there would not have been such a fuss about the restriction of aid into the area'. One might suggest that those that govern (with no mandate) Gaza, namely Hamas, had concentrated on helping the Gazan Palestinians develop their economy rather than getting them involved in a genocidal war against Israel, then this situation might have been more positive. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cjeynvp409vo Will Hamas now actually be more accommodating of the peace solution defined by the Arab mediators who are awaiting a formal response from Israel after Hamas said it had accepted a new proposal for a Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal. Even though it is thankfully now defeated, can it be trusted ? The plan was presented by Qatar and Egypt, which are trying to avert a major new Israeli offensive to occupy Gaza fully. Qatar said it was "almost identical" to a US proposal for a 60-day truce, during which around half of 50 hostages held in Gaza - 20 of whom are believed to be alive - would be handed over and the two sides would negotiate a lasting ceasefire and the return of the rest. In recent days, Israel's government has said it would no longer accept a partial deal - only a comprehensive one that would see all the hostages freed. Freeing the hostages doesn't seem a big deal does it Ms Bond unless you are a rabid Jew hater ? |
