Heads should roll
Yup. And all anyone needs to do is say they're going to Egypt, since they opened up their border with Gaza now...
And really - what was the stuff they were stopping from getting to the refugees? Weapons? Like concrete? Like PASTA? Yes indeed, according to reports, they actually stopped PASTA from getting to the Palestinians under the rules of the blockade. Beautiful.

On this matter, make no mistake. I want you to go fuck yourself long and hard, as well as anyone who agrees with you. I got no use for you. --Auraptor
This vile and revolting malice - this is their true colors, always has been, you're just seeing it without the mask of justifications and excuses they hide it behind, is all. Make sure to remember it once they put the mask back on. --Fremdfirma

The same Israel who keeps telling us they're gonna stop taking Palestinian land by force ?
The same Israel who has lied, hand over fist, about damn near every incident from the Lavon Affair to what happened on the boarded aid ship ?
(They actually tried to claim at one point their troops were armed with rubber bullets)
The same Israel that's been caught dumping those relief supplies into the ocean, torching them, or simply seizing them for themselves ?
Suuure they'll be delivered, right.
This is one place the UN oughta man up and step to it, honestly, cause while I know it ain't sayin much they're the closest possible thing to a neutral party, and it'd remove a lot of the back and forth political provocation if the supplies were coming in on UN flagged vessels with observers to make sure they actually reach those in need of them.
I do think it somewhat hypocritical of folk to bring up the rocket attacks as blockade justification when you have settlers taking those peoples land and then calling the IDF in to "defend" them (by slaughtering everyone in range) while they gear up for the next step forward - if the rockets are an act of war, then what is that ?
Would you be best pleased if a bunch of mexican nationals seized Nogales Arizona, and then had the Mexican Army come in to "defend" them by slaughtering every american in sight ?
What would you consider that, then, if not an act of war ?
But Israel gets a free pass while Palestine takes the flak, hell no - not when it's our tax money helping finance this bullshit, oh no - till THAT stops, imma have a big damn issue with it, cause I am firmly of the opinion that if we're gonna let them reduce an entire nation to a concentration camp, the *LEAST* we can do is enforce the settlement issue, and I am very much in favor of putting a missle cruiser out there, and dropping a damn tomahawk on it every time those settlers create one on Palestinian land.
Honestly folks, what would you have them do, roll over and conveniently die ?
March themselves into the sea ?

Free pass? Are you daft? This is a rhetorical question.
I agree with you that the settlers are a problem, however, but would fall short of advocating shooting missiles at them, or blaming them for everything that goes wrong. And on the subject of rolling over and dying, seems to me that this is what you wish on Israel. What would you have *THEM* do, march back to Poland?
If this is a war, why not treat it as such and just be honest and over it? But if there is a political solution, then rockets are just stirring the hornets nest. Or righteous social justice, if you're so inclined.

Have them march back over their borders into their own damned country, Mince.
A sense of proportion here is helpful, they got a country, they don't needs be trying to take someone elses, especially not while we're financing their military with both money and equipment for pennies on the dollar - they either need to start playin ball with us fairly, or get off our tits financially, yes ?
I do concur that if they're gonna act like it's a war, they should damn well just call it one, but Israel doesn't want that, cause it would lead to other countries they've also pulled shit on militarily supporting Palestine, and the whole damn thing would blow up pretty badly, it still has the potential to do so - take a look at the regions history, and consider well what *WILL* happen if another Saladin rises, that could get really ugly.
What most westerners don't really understand is just how goddamn territorial folks are in the middle east, if they understood that, really comprehended it as internally as the folk who live there do, we'd have a lot less problems when we were dumb enough to stick our noses into it.
