Many of my friends, I presume, read Momus's Live Journal, and have already seen these photos, but for those of you who do not.....This really had an impact on me.  I try to remain unbiased, as I feel the Israeli/Palestinian conflict is so deeply rooted at this point, that it is hard to completely side with one group, or the other (the Israelis or

And what happens when the borders of Gaza are opened up? Firstly what happens to the aid sent in? Most of it is confiscated by the corrupt regime hammas, and before them the Palestinian Association which is really just a nice name for the P.L.O.
