No, only that there is no proof the blockade is causing human suffering.
You guys are making such a claim, Where is the proof?
What exactly are you getting out of it?
Tell us.

So Hamas won in a democratic election.. hence the will of the people..so you in essence are blaming the one's who are suffering and stating it's their fault..
i'd probably take my family to a market.......if my house was being bulldozed to make room for settlements.
You could make a day of it..
In a sense, yes. Just like we are now in turmoil over electing so many democrats.
You guys were right. I just had to look harder.
Supporting evidence posted upstream @ 1:43pm.
So Darrin's argument is that still photos of a market and a beach in Gaza means that there couldn't possibly be any problems there whatsoever.
That's right.
I forgot that if it's on the internet, the implications the journalist makes are true.
I assume there are journalists and people with cameras in Gaza. I'm just looking for evidence of "enormous human suffering".
I can surely find evidence of the thousands of rockets fired from Gaza.
No, you're not. Your failure to respond to the evidence posted in this very thread only underscores that.I'm just looking for evidence of "enormous human suffering.
Nice non-rebuttal.![]()
Are you posting everything you find?
Darrin says he can only find YouTubes of food and beaches in Gaza.

Does she look hungry? She probably was on her way to the food market.
Hamas is the problem. Maybe if they didn't steal the humanitarian aide, making the UN stop shipping it, there would be more supplies.
One piece of evidence:
UN, Hamas meet to discuss stolen Gaza aid
Humanitarian aid on hold until further notice; UN spokesman: Donors won't give us aid if it goes to terrorists.
UN officials would only confirm Saturday that they met with Hamas representatives but said they would not lift their freeze on aid shipments until all 10 trucks were returned.
"When they return what they have taken, we will inform everybody. But what we are hearing is positive as of now," said John Ging, the top UN aid official in Gaza.
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) on Friday said it is suspending humanitarian aid in Gaza until further notice, after Hamas seized control of its warehouses and stole 200 tons of food and supplies.A UN spokesman on Wednesday said Hamas police in Gaza broke into a warehouse full of UN humanitarian supplies and seized thousands of blankets and food packages, creating a rare public clash between the international agency that feeds much of the territory and the militant group that rules it.
The incident highlighted difficulties facing donors seeking to bypass Hamas while helping Gazans survive and rebuild after Israel's three-week military offensive.
"Hamas policemen stormed into an aid warehouse in Gaza City Tuesday evening and confiscated 3,500 blankets and over 400 food parcels ready for distribution to 500 families," said UNRWA spokesman Christopher Gunness on Wednesday.
"They were armed, they seized this, they took it by force," Gunness said, terming the incident absolutely unacceptable.
part of your supporting material says:
So... if their food preferences are not met, they are suffering, right?Food security exists when all people, at all time, have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life. Food insecurity exists when this access is jeopardised.
No. Selective highlighting doesn't change the syntax. Did you catch the modifiers "sufficient, safe and nutritious" as applied to "dietary needs"?
Pretending that the definition given above rests enirely or even largely upon access to "food preferences" is very misleading, but happily, only to those who read as selectively as you.
That's a big problem, for sure. But it's not the whole story.
That was a year ago.
Did you know the head of the UNRWA in the area gave a speech en led "Illegal, inhuman and insane: a medieval siege on Gaza in 2010" a week ago?
Sure, it's not the whole story. but aide is being cut of by the suppliers because of the losses, not because of Israel.
Should Israel allow weapons into Gaza to be attacked by?
Proper inspections take time. What is your solution?
Israel should just end their blockade and allow anything into Gaza. They should also just learn to live with the thousands of missles fired at them indescriminately as a nuisance.

^^^You're the only one who said so, Darrin. If you take away strawmen and youtubes, there's no there there.
Gaza is a paradise. YouTube told me.
