Israeli leaders care no more for their young than the leaders of other developed countries. And they damn sure don't care about stunting the growth of generations of their cousins across the (new) wall. God help us to restrain the cycle of murder and mayhem by turning off the dollar spigot. Elect Ron Paul 2008!

"Obviously we don't have the power to enforce solutions, but we can make suggestions," he said. Coming up with the right suggestions will not be easy. Until the incessant mortar and rocket barrage emanating from Gaza is halted, the situation in Gaza is only going to worsen. Gazans are not innocent citizens held hostage by a terrorist regime. They elected Hamas to power and what is now happening is the direct consequence of their collective decision to do so. If they don’t like what is happening then demonstrate, get on the internet, voice their disapproval wherever and whenever they can. Has Mr Holmes seen the slightest signs of any public disapproval or heard the whiff of a protest whilst walking the streets of Gaza? Gazans may be too weak, too frightened, too scared to speak out. Hopefully Mr Holmes will do so for them. One thing is certain - Mr Holmes needs to come up with his suggestions and speak out very soon. If he fails to do so then the consequences for the region will be disastrous and make the current humanitarian situation pale into insignificance compared to what awaits Gaza and the Gazans. Your report fails to mention this critical statement made by Mr Holmes during his visit to Gaza:
“You can’t justify the firing of these rockets and mortars from Gaza into Israel”

Mr Holmes also said he wanted to see if he could find new ways to ease the lives of civilians on both sides, but noted he does not have the authority to make changes.

“Obviously we don’t have the power to enforce solutions, but we can make suggestions,” he said.
