Palestinians Topple Gaza Wall
Thousands of Palestinians streamed from the Gaza Strip into Egypt on Wednesday after a fence at the Rafah border crossing was toppled, going on a buying spree of fuel, medicine, soap, cigarettes and many other supplies that have been cut off during days of blockade by Israel.

Isreal should be ashamed of itself. Its like they keep poking and poking and creating this perminant underclass. Then the Palestinians should be appalled by themselves for seemingly turning a cultural blind eye towards those that choose to explode themselves. The way I see it, we may be forced to eradicate both sides some day as theyre proving to be incapable of living in the modern world. Really, no big loss on either side.
maybe castrate the vatican while were at it - f*cking perverts
AWESOME!
As an isolated report - Israel does seem like bastards...
If you actually read what led to this, you may understand (not neccesarily agree with) the logic behind this.

The Hamas use the red cross and other 'usually trusted' humanitarian groups and trucks to smuggle missiles and explosives into Gaza.
For most people it is fine that these missiles are shot at Israeli children living their lives in sderot(not in occupied land! - by the way).
For those who live in the western world this is all acceptable because this is a very distant situation - having never lived under the daily threat of being bombed...for example...you could never imagine people in the suburbs of Paris shooting missiles into Paris....the French, the italians, the germans, the americans would never tolerate such a situation.
Think of it...why is all the noise in gaza...and not in the west bank?
The Hamas are the biggest threat to the future of the Palestinians - Not the Israelis.
Israel has repeatedly violated international law by using collective punishment as a response to organized resistance to occupation. Palestinian rockets are a response to years of occupation and the Israeli government's illegal creation of an apartheid state. Any other country in the world would be sanctioned and charged with violating international law.
I hope that one day international courts and agencies will hold Israel accountable for the atrocities committed against the Palestinians.
