Gazans Wise Up

People in Gaza seem to finally be understanding who the root cause of their problems is. After numerous and disgustingly cynical attacks on the Karni goods crossing from Gaza to Israel by Palestinian terrorists, icluding Hamas, aimed at forcing Israel to close the crossing and increase Palestinian poverty and thus anger against Israel, a group of Gaza businesses called on the terrorists to stop attacking the crossing.

"We are the ones who gave (Israel) the reasons and opportunities to close the crossing points," Qidwa said.

"Without security, there can be no crossing points," he added, stressing that the blockade had forced many companies to transfer their activities abroad.

The business groups said the situation had "completely paralysed the industrial, agricultural and construction sectors and caused many companies and workshops that provide work for 30,000 people to close."
