#1 "Severe hardships in Gaza if Israel carries out sanctions"

The snark just writes itself.

Can't choose between:

1. What's the downside?

2. How would they tell?

3. In order to have a "humanitarian crisis," don't you have to have some humans first?

Feel free to add to the list. :-D

#2 Now, now, Mrs Skolaut. The livelihood of many UN families depends on the Palestinians.

#5 Simple solution. Stop firing into Israel and lynch everyone you see trying.

You want to continue firing? OK, then you won't eat or drik.

Now, could me anyone telel me why we should care about the Palestinian genociders when there are good people who are dying in Darfur?

UN delenda est.

#6 Looks like the Palieos aren't the only ones who just can't seem to grasp the concept of..

Cause -->> Effect

The UN doesn't seem to get it either.

#8 So when is the UN finally going to suffer severe hardships when the US finally cuts off funding and kicks them out?

#9 ...it would likely create a humanitarian crisis.

As it always seems to do.
So will this be on top of the last "humanitarian crisis" or the current "humanitarian crisis" or will this be an entirely new "humanitarian crisis'?

#10 Paleos ever lack money for education, healthcare and even food but they are never short of it for weapons and bombs.

#11 the Gaza population is largely dependent on ~~Israeli electricity~~ ~~Israeli water supplies~~ ~~outside donations~~ ~~begging~~ ~~violent control~~ ~~sharia law~~ ~~the will of Allah~~ ~~dumbfuckingluck~~ commercial imports for its sustenance.

#13 Why don't they get their food/water/medical supplies from Egypt, just like they get their weapons?

#14 Why don't they ever conclude something like:

UN: severe hardships in Gaza if militant provocations of Israel continue

#17 Severe hardships in Gaza if Israel carries out sanctions

Until this happens, there is no meaningful conflict. This is the nature of resolving conflicts via war.

#18 Time for the end-game in Gaza. These people have brought all manner of hardship upon themselves, and yet, as JFM so eloquently puts it, still find money for bombs and suicide belts.

If the UN didn't have their own aid program so intertwined with the 'plight' of the paleos, this would have been sorted out decades ago.

What utter wankers the UN and Paleos are, two organisms that are symbiotic and parasitic upon each other (is that possible?) Ugggh!

#19 I think the Israelis should start sending all supplies to Gaza via 155mm cannon. I'm sure a can of Crisco fired at 65 degrees elevation will make quite an impact on those Gazans receiving it...

#21 The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned Sunday that if Israel carries out its threatened sanctions after declaring Gaza "hostile territory," it would likely create a humanitarian crisis.

Yet Hamas' genocidal attacks against Israel are not a "humanitarian crisis". The UN needs to pound copious quantities of hot Palestinian sand.
