The chief of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees called on the international community Thursday to provide Gaza with a peacekeeping force or mission of observers, saying Gaza's 1.4 million people deserve protection.
They do? What'd they do to earn it? | Karen AbuZayd, the commissioner general for UN Relief and Works Agency, said a permanent solution must be found for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, perhaps by setting up a UN mission there. "It would be great to have an international presence, civilian, military, whatever," she said.
Whatever. Do the UNians have the available manpower to devote to shepherding the Paleos? Do they have sufficient body armor stocks? |
They'll farm out the work to the Bengaladeshis who don't need body armor. Ms. Abuzayd will be happy to control the pursestrings from New York with occasional field trips to Nicosia. | Conditions in Gaza have reached a breaking point, AbuZayd said, as a result of the recent Israeli military offensive and blockade there since the kidnapping of IDF soldier Cpl. Gilad Shalit on June 25.
The Paleostinians had the opportunity to set up a ministate and show what they could do with their own country. Rather than doing that, they went to the mattresses. |
