Subject: RE: BS: New Israeli atrocity: attack on Gaza aid
You should try discussing with me before giving up Jim.
You say Israel used illegal weapons.
I point out that all countries have them including liberal demacracies like Norway,Sweden, Canada, New Zealand,...
You can not reply, so liken me to a holocaust denier instead.
Jack says they used cluster bombs in Gaza.
I ask for confirmation.
Nothing, except agreement with Jim about me being like a holocaust denier.
You say they target civilians.
I point out that an agressive enemy was fighting them from among those civilians so how can you be sure.
You can not answer so say it is futile.

Emma, whatever Gaza is, it is at war with Israel.
Israel is careful to abide by the letter of the law on blockades.
It does let humanitarian stuff in and enough food to prevent starvation.
You can say it is not enough. I can agree, but the legality is a matter for lawyers.
