2. Why are people trying to get in Gaza?

Are these fighters?

[Tom Joad]

4. NO. These are people who were in Egypt for medical care or other

reasons and been stranded at the border closed by Israel. Some have died because of lack of facilities. These people were going home.
Here in the US, we have no concept of what it is like for an occupation army to tell us we can't go to our homes. Palestinians experience this all the time... at checkpoints within the West Bank even.

[Marie26]

5. Oh, OK.

Thanks for the information.

[Tom Joad]

3. Take down the barriers. People have died here because of Israeli

"indifference" or should i say as deliberate policy.

7. Noam Chomsky has described Israeli policy towards Palestine

as: Isreal will be treat the Palestinians "like dogs", inside of a prison to have them either move out or be killed. This has been the policy, he says, for decades.
