  1. The UN provides aid for 1/2 of the 1.6 million Gazans and prevents them from suffering greatly or starving. Either HAMSA is attacking the UN or the Salafis & AL Qaeda are attacking the UN.
    If the former, they are dishonest & are playing a dangerous a game. If the latter, they cannot provide security so why are they ruling?

  2. @ Richard
    Who do you think were behind the attacks & what do they want.
    Does anyone read Arabic & know what the demonstrators want? Their “EBT” cards are not big enough?

  3. They say a way to a man is via his stomach … wit hold all food to these places and when a man sees himself AND his family starving let them crawl back and be fed UNDER strict peaceful conditions. You cant eat gold nor money BUT food might be a way to control these places of civil unrest.

  4. My guess and it is strictly a guess is Hamas trying to blackmail the UN, now they will provide security guards and the UN will pay for them, it i even possible that some of the security will be members of the groups that attacked the food distribution centers.

  5. I did say HAMAS could be attacking the UN and it is dishonest. But Richard is right.

    The next question is how much money will HAMAS siphon off from the UN? Maybe it is not the money so much as to keep some of their gunmen/followers occupied with a job with some honest cash form working(?) in their pocket.
