Part of the problem is that the Palestinians have been used as a pawn by the PLO, Hamas, Hezbollah and assorted posters here. They are people, and constant bitching about Israel--while the Israeli government deserves some of it--does nothing to help. NONE of the Arab neighbours has got off its arse to help at all, either. And PLEASE, don't some vacuous idiot post that they send in food or medicine. They also send in guns and suicide bombers, just to keep things roiling.
