The reason the discussion has lasted so long is that it is urgent that the world condemn Israel for it's expansion and oppression.

Israel has been and will continue to be condemned for it's air strikes because they are ruthless and accomplish nothing to assuage Hezbollah or any other group like it.

Not so fast about Egypt pouring sewage into tunnels. That has not been confirmed.

The Palestinian people are forced into living conditions which don't preclude their exposure to toxic sites. People are forced into these conditions not by choice but often by design. To think otherwise is simply naive. They are usually built by those inhabitants who are not wealthy or privileged.

No one should ever have to be forced to live by a toxic waste site and yet increasingly this is what is happening all over the world.
