    Look at all those folks in that committee hearing, so nice dressed and no doubt enjoyed hefty meals before and after. Then later can go back home to families to enjoy and relax. Tell them to take hard look inside Gaza City. Hundreds of thousands of Palestine are hungry, homeless and wearing same dirty clothing for weeks or months. Can say all of them never have decent bath for months. Palestine children stop going to schools since the invasion. Entire medical facility kaput. These bozos in the room no doubt can enjoy pleasant sleep every night. The joke is, why the fate of Gaza City depend on what this baseless committee hearing decide later. The fate of Palestine in Gaza should be quickly decide by UN and international attention, months ago!

    Yes, my dear brothers, my beloved Palestine is the cradle of Christianity and Judaism, and it contains Al-Aqsa, the third holiest place for us Muslims in Palestine. Bethlehem, the cradle of Christ, is a blessed land, and it is the holy land, and it has been our land for tens of thousands of years, and it is the land of the Canaanite Arabs, the original Palestinian people, and they have lived in it since the Islamic conquest in the era. The Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman Arabs, Muslims, Christians and Jews are like brothers and neighbors under Palestinian rule to the owners of the land, but the Zionists came and the British occupation brought them to our land as compensation to the Jews for what they did to them Hitler. The question here is that who did the Holocaust, the Germans, why do I, the Palestinian Arab, pay the price? Why not Germany? Why do I, the Muslim, pay the price for crimes? Committed by the Germans and Nazi Europe, fascism is the root of all evil in the world. Our problem is the occupation☝️🇵🇸💚

    Hey Merkley, I look forward to contributing to your opponent’s campaign. Laying the blame for the food scarcity in Gaza solely at Israel’s feet, when they have faced Hamas making matters difficult, is disingenuous at best and unfair at worst. Hamas shot rockets at a border crossing while Israel was moving aid through, killing several Israelis. That’s not the behavior of a government trying to help their people. Hamas wants a famine.

      @adilsamara5005 hi. I hope what i share with you is helpful.
      I am South African. One aspect of apartheid in South Africa was that people of colour had to live in separate areas to whites.
      In Israel many nationalities live together, Jews,Arabs, Palestinians, Drew's, South Africans etc. But no Jews are allowed in Gaza. Gaza implements apartheid against the Jews (no Jews are allowed in most Arabic states eg Jordan, as far as I know Iran).
      Here is a definition of apartheid that gives a broader definition than just where one lives:
      The term “apartheid”, an Afrikaans word, derived from the French term “mettre à part”, literally translated to “separating, setting apart.” Apartheid is a policy that is founded on the idea of separating people based on racial or ethnic criteria.
