The slow strangulation of people does not end with the recent loosening of the borders. 42 trucks were let in, and then the border was again closed. This suffering is ongoing. A few months ago we were writing about the generators in Gaza hospitals running out of electricity, and now again. It will be the same story after a few months.
Last week the people of Gaza were eating animal grain, after the bakeries ran out of wheat flour.
According to the UN General Assembly head, this is a system of Apartheid. Call it like it is.

Now. What else I should say that hasn’t been said? But anyway, does slaughtering and torturing Palestinians make it faire? Should Palestinians have to suffer Israel? And, why we’re being reminded every day by the Jewish holocaust….Yet the Palestinians Holocaust by Jews is kept shut out from us alltogether.? Please remember. These people (the Palestinians) have a relatives, friends and country men too. Just because so many Palestinians have been put to death or lacked in jail for life, doesn’t mean anything. They’re still plenty of people left to fight peacefully for them.Period.

I agree that how the blockade is being administered is a travesty with a deep human toll.
That said, again, none of this would be an issue if Egypt wanted their side of the border open.

None of this would be an issue if the Zionist-friendly United States wasn’t bribing the dictatorship in Egypt to do Israel’s bidding. Egypt’s collaboration with Israel’s barbaric abuse of the Palestinians doesn’t lessen Israel’s guilt an iota.
