My Way News - Israel Cuts Off Gaza Fuel After Attack
AP reports: "Israel cut off the only source of fuel to Gaza's 1.4 million people Thursday after a deadly Palestinian raid on the Israeli depot, deepening the seaside territory's hardship."

Comment: Israel is in an untenable situation. Gazans hate Israel and use the territory that Israel willingly gave up (in hopes of peace) as a base from which to launch attacks against Israel, and yet Israel is responsible for the physical welfare of Gazans. What to do? Invite the leaders of the international aid community to Jerusalem and give them an ultimatum: start organizing aid for Gaza because Israel will renounce all ties to Gaza within 48 hours. If the rocket attacks stop, they can always reconsider. This strategy to stop the rocket attacks has not been tried, so it's worth trying at least once.
