Based on selective readings Damian, or your most recent trip. Please post your holiday snaps.
Based on person to person accounts of those that have recently been there.
‘Life in the Gazan ghetto is like life in the Warsaw ghetto’ is an analogous metaphor Latteloon, not a literal comparison.
No, it is a comparison between things to which no sane person could ever find a comparison (unless that person is a holocaust denier). You aren't a holocuast denier, are you?
I’ll start by saying that I am no fan of Loewenstein, but if you follow that photo link through to his flickr photo album , it seems like a reasonable montage of life in Gaza (including Ants at the barber and an anti Israel demonstration). Life looks pretty normal. Poverty and wealth. Tents and internet cafes. Rubble and nice new office buildings. Nobody is starving, but that specific blog post does not say or imply Gazans are starving. As it turns out, that’s Ant’s lunch, which also means we can no longer say that he’s only spent a week over there visiting his rellies. I think his photos speak more truth than his words.
DL, I'm interested in knowing why you blame Israel for the plight of the Gazans, when Egypt shares a border with Gaza. You mention tunnels, these go to Egypt. Why do you never mention the Egyptian blockade. Or is it just because you are a nasty minded anti-semite who peddles blood libels?
Lataan you are a liar and a racist.
Chistery, nice pickup.
And isn't the plural of swine, swine?
Damian, Well Im certainly convinced that Egypt is now run by "zionazis" based on your refence to "a treaty".
The Palistinians are held hostage to Arab pride, they wont accept that they lost in their couple of attempts at driving the israelis into the sea. Therefore most Arab countries actively discriminate against people regaurded as "Palestinian", even those who have not set foot in the country for 3 or more generations.
They are denied civil rights, not from some bizzare plot wereby the "zionazis" make Arab countries do their bidding, but because they are expected to restore Arab pride by correcting the mistake they consider Israel to be.
Or are we to believe that the Jews have held sway over the internal policies regaurding Palestinians in multiple Arab countries?
(sorry for typos, comp is on its last legs and keboard is nearly cactus)
lol yeah right.
Yeah at Becks we have racists (Lataan), morons (cosmic jester) and cyberstalkers (Bridgit Gread).
For the information of Damian the Engineer:
"If you have a few experienced (and highly paid) people working with you, the whole project will cost you $25,000 or more. That's a lot of money in Gaza these days. But the potential profits are enormous. Currently, moving a person through a tunnel costs several hundred dollars, or more. A sack full of goods, or a jerry can of fuel, costs several times its value to move through the tunnel."
Cheers
Damian, still waiting for some evidence of your earlier claim that you have spoken to people who have been to Gaza recently. Or you can just admit you're a liar. Maybe the best in Verdun.
I'm really not in the slightest bit interested in providing 'evidence' to any Zionazi. You either accept or you don't. I couldn't care less either way
I wonder whether Damian Lataan is aware that the Gaza tunnels are 'owned' by senior Hamas officials who skim off serious money by controlling what comes through?
Damian is cranky because his girlfriend sprang a leak.
I'm crushed! How can I compete with such astounding intellectual insight?
You'll keep Lataan. In the meantime, save your breath. You'll need it to reinflate your Mustapha Shag doll later on.
