   Protests in the ME are usually ORGANIZED, not just popular demonstrations by ordinary people. If they were there approaching the fence, it was because Hamas put them there for that purpose.

   So apparantly the cease fire is actually cease missile fire and doesnt apply to guns. And im pretty sure thats a typo, all the other reports have said only 9 were injurred, not l9.

   oops speaking of typos lol i meant *injured*. And i dont know that this was a demonstration, or that they were *put* there. They saw an israeli jeep that was *out of commission, and were approaching it to pilfer parts. Again per other reports.

   America contradicts itself on their own terrorism policy, by negotiating peace with hamas in the Middle east to stop attacks and or retaliating against Israel

   I see my good friends here are driven by how we have been conditioned to think.
   AP & Guardian report that the the palestinians were celebrating the truce and were in Gaza raising slogans. The 20 yr old man who was shot in the head owned land near the border and was visiting hoping that the truce would allow him to do the planting.

     Would you like to know who influences and "conditions" my way of thinking, saywhat?
     Absolutely no-one.
     Not the media, not fellow bloggers.
     I have been following this, and there is not one source that has absolutely agreed to what exactly happened.
     My original opinion stands.

   AP also reports that the Israeli army routinely opens fire on Gazans approaching the border who are still in Gaza.
   There is a protective fence on the Israeli side with army manning the fence.
   This festering issue would go down in history after we are long gone as a sore reflecting the indifference of humanity towards suffering of fellow humans.
   Good day all.

   These young men who approached border were told by the local Hamas fringe groups that they had WON the recent battle with Israel and that the border fences were going to be moved back to allow some of the farmers easier access to their land! The young men were misinformed!

    Saywhat, dear man, my opinion has not changed either. I agree with you, Israel is greed and hatred driven! Since l948 they have started these little wars but alwasy say its the otherside. They continue to try to steal land that is NOT THEIRS!

    They seem to believe they are God's children. Therefore, in their minds anything they do is just and righteous. And yet, they seek the things of the this world and NOT God's gift of eternity.

    Mostly BM, (if your speaking of Israel) they seek financial aid from the US. Were it not for us supplying funds to them continuously, they would not be an *ally*, and im using that word lightly.
