In regards to the Israel/Palestine events at the moment - of course no one approves of the suffering of the innocent Palestinian Civilians. Israel would love to remove the blockade of Gaza, do you think they enjoy the Rockets which are fired or the international condemnation, no. But Gaza is run by an Iranian Backed Terrorist group who's sole political aim is 'The Eradication of the state of Israel'. If the blockade were lifted, Hamas would be able to receive more Iranian missles than it currently does and Jerusalem would be flattened - that is why the blockade of Gaza has to remain, but Israel should allow unlimited amount of Aid and supplies in terms of Food and Medical Supplies - but don't think Israel is some evil power, every day hundreds of Palestinian children are allowed into Ashdod for Medical Care - provided free by the Israeli state - if you don't believe me, go to Ashdod yourself and look.
There is no blockade in the West Bank, why? Because Fatah are the government there. They don't launch rockets into Israel, they are peaceful, and the Palestinians in the West Bank enjoy a much greater quality of life because of this. If Israel was anti-palestinian, there would be a similar West Bank blockade.
Many Arabs live in Israel proper, infact hundreds of thousands, and they have their own MPs in the parliament, vote, go to school, they live like any other citizen of Israel - so don't try and make out that all the Arabs were drove from their land, many Arabs are Arab-Israelis and the Jews and Muslims get along mostly well.
But of course there are those in the Orthodox community who are extremist Jews, who do attack Palestinians and steal their land, especially in West Jerusalem, but everyday israelis hate them too, and I wish the government would do more to crack down on that.
But please don't fall for the lies of the Leftwing-Islamist Press like the BBC. The 2nd Flotilla, the Irish one, no one died, no one was injured, the boat was escorted to Ashdod and the Aid made it to Gaza. Why was the 1st flotilla so reluctant to an inspection? What were they hiding?
The boat WAS NOT in international waters, it was in Israeli Waters. There are no International Waters in the Mediterranean, Israeli customs officers were in their right to inspect any ship, and when they boarded the boat, they were clubbed with poles and knives and thrown into the sea! The Israeli army was within its rights to defend itself.

The Future? Do not under estimate the danger than Hamas pose. Iran has a scheme to finish what Hitler started, Hamas are effectively a puppet branch of Iran. We need to work with Fatah to remove this terrorist government for the good of everyone in the world, in Gaza, in Israel, for everyone.
My Proposals:
• The Blockade should be managed by UN forces, not israeli ones so no one can blame Israel, and there should be unlimited aid allowed into Gaza by land as long as it is fully inspected.
• Gaza and most of the West Bank need to become an independent state, but with control of Army and the Policing given to UN peacekeepers, as the new young weak state would be in danger of being infiltrated by extremists and Iran.
• Jerusalem and part of the West Bank need to become an Independent state, with a joint Israeli-Palestinian government. That is the only way to guarantee everyone's rights to the holy city.
More importantly, we need to remember that all these deaths are lives, in this conflict too often they become numbers.
RIP all those killed in the recent weeks
