Like History... We can ask ourselves how was Hamas created and Why? Why do the people in Gaza only have Hamas as a choice? Who humilated the secular alternative and what is left of any kind of alternative given the complicity of the Arab regimes.... One might also turn to what's left of TATTERED INTERNATIONAL LAW--- What do the GENEVA conventions say about collective punishment----- What would it do if the Arab world- just once- saw a fair and reciprocal implementation of international law and those responsible for firing missiles into Israel were treated like criminals WHat if people in GAZA didn't have to depend on them for food because there were no embargo.... Again, writers have a possible option; look at history, ask how have we gotten where we are cheers Ginan Hi Natalie:

Why do the people in Gaza only have Hamas as a choice? Who humilated the secular alternative and what is left of any kind of alternative given the complicity of the Arab regimes….

One might also turn to what’s left of TATTERED INTERNATIONAL LAW— What do the GENEVA conventions say about collective punishment—–

What would it do if the Arab world- just once- saw a fair and reciprocal implementation of international law and those responsible for firing missiles into Israel were treated like criminals

WHat if people in GAZA didn’t have to depend on them for food because there were no embargo….

Again, writers have a possible option; look at history, ask how have we gotten where we are
