'There's no siege on Gaza'

Former IDF Southern Command Commander Yom Tov Samia rejected the claims that Israel has placed a siege on Gaza.

In an interview with Channel 10's "Orly and Guy" program, Samia acknowledged that the situation in Gaza is critical, but said that the area's Hamas leadership are responsible. Hamas receives 650 truckloads of equipment a day, but instead of giving these to the residents, Hamas uses the merchandise for itself, selling it at outrageous prices or using the materials in order to dig terror tunnels.

The Hamas terror organization which rules Gaza has firmly rejected the Palestinian Authority's (PA) demand that Hamas surrender its weapons and submit to PA authority. Israel limits who is allowed to enter Israel from Gaza, in order to prevent security threats to Israelis and stave off another war.

According to Samia, the way to help Gazans is to allow another 5,000 Gazans to work in Israel, after they undergo strict security checks to ensure they are not terrorists. These Gazans would bring in more money, thus helping the residents.

Samia emphasized that there is no siege on Gaza, and that everything except weapons and ammunition is allowed to be brought into the area.

"I speak with Gazans," he said. "There is no siege on Gaza. Everything that the PA wants to bring into Gaza is allowed in, other than tanks and rifles. Everyone knows this."

Hamas: We ain't responsible for nothing. Everything is Israel's fault. Now that's what I call leadership.

"There is no siege on Gaza. Everything that the PA wants to bring into Gaza is allowed in, other than tanks and rifles. Everyone knows this."

This can't be said enough. The left has adopted the "siege on Gaza" language. What Israel has imposed, however, is an inspections regime, not a siege. The left lies, but you already knew that.

Thanks Eleutheria5. Looks like Pitchfork Pat's been practicing hudna lately. From the FRchives:

• Pat Buchanan: Lift the Siege of Gaza (he backs Hamas and the Turks) [2010]
• Pat Buchanan Says Gaza is an "Israeli Concentration Camp" - Video 1/8/09 [2009]
• Buchanan: Israel's staging a "blitzkrieg" on its Gaza "concentration camp" [2009]

[Eleutheria5]

I no longer have misgivings about Pat. I’m sure he’s a belated Nazi.

Give Egypt a green light to clean out Hamas. Recognize Egyptian sovereignty over Ghaza, and hold Egypt responsible for any missiles fired from Ghaza. Send in Peace Corp volunteers to rebuild the infrastructure. If they kill any of them, Trump will be royally PO’d and make them pay for it.
