The problem is Hamas.

If they would give up

terrorism then they would

be able to get enough aid

to rebuild.

A U.N. human rights investigator on Thursday called Israel's seizure of a ship carrying relief aid for the Gaza Strip "unlawful" and said its blockade of the territory constituted a "continuing crime against humanity".

Israeli authorities on Tuesday intercepted the vessel, which was also carrying 21 pro-Palestinian activists, and said it would not be permitted to enter Gaza coastal waters because of security risks in the area and its existing naval blockade.

Yes, if Hamas would just give up .... and if fact, if the Palestinians would just leave altogether and commit mass suicide, then everything would be good for Israeli colonization of land that isn't theirs.

Hmmmmm ... yes, good thinking guys!
