#1 This is a smart move by the Israelis. No goods are moving so no tax revenue collected and remitted to the Paleos. And they can still play the ending of the tax union card sometime in the future.

#2 The OCHA report blamed the closing of Karni for the crisis, and said that Kerem Shalom did not have the capacity to deal with the amount of wheat that needed to be shipped into Gaza.

They kill us, and we've to feed them?

#3 Very simple folks: renounce violence, recognize Israel and stick to agreements. Very logical demands to ensure survival and growth. Not complicated or expensive or requiring any expenditure of sweat - just sane and civilized.

Or die - steaming in your own sweaty ignorance and blindness.

#4 The Paleos are finding out just how much it sucks when you have no cards to play and everyone knows it. There is no way that Gaza can be self-sufficient. Why are no Paleos trying to be relocated to the West Bank. Gaza, absent the few Israeli greenhouses already destroyed produces nothing but terrorists and welfare recipients. When the welfare pipe closes, they are well and truly without hope.
