You both have the reported figures.'

Sorry, Jim ~~ genuinely missed this, so taken was I with your 'batting' metaphor.

No, I don't think it's all lies. My present position, though you persist in disbelieving it, is that anything said to the detriment of Israel is probably true ~~ except that the Gaza situation is not so simple as so many others [see below] ~~ like olive-groves &c, which you persist for some reason as regarding as a minor, even frivolous, example but seems to me obviously key ~~ this depriving of hardworking people of their means to livelihood because some who have attacked Israel might have hidden there, is particularly & peculiarly indefensible, imo.

You accuse me of not answering key points. I accuse you of the same right back ~~ Why has nobody responded to the entirely accurate statement that Gaza is not under sufficient siege or blockade as to prevent food & medical supplies entering, because it shares a border with Egypt, thru which it has presumably imported its missiles, now long-range enuf for attacking Tel Aviv & Jerusalem. Otherwise how did they get those in, eh smartarse? Did the Israelis not notice those going in, hidden among the food parcels or something? So why can't they bring in some humanitarian supplies and sustenance which the Israelis are supposed to be depriving them of by their blockade that way also?

How about you putting your bat for the Arabs & Muslims down for a second, and finding some answer to that one? Please...
