Collactive: HonestReporting - Gaza 'Under Siege'?: "Despite Hamas's claims to have 'restored law and order' in the Gaza Strip, the terror organization has done nothing to prevent Qassam missiles from raining down on Sderot and the surrounding region. Hamas has even launched mortars at the very border crossings that serve as a lifeline to the Palestinian population. In addition, kidnapped Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit continues to be held in Gaza. Any reasonable analysis of the situation would conclude that Israel, having previously withdrawn from Gaza, would be under no obligation to aid such a hostile entity.
The New York Times / International Herald Tribune reports from the Kerem Shalom border crossing: 'between mortar attacks by Hamas and other militants, about 20 truckloads of milk products, meat, medicines and eggs passed from Israel into Gaza, part of the effort to keep basic commodities reaching the 1.5 million Palestinians of the largely isolated strip.' The article highlights mortar attacks on the crossing. Likewise, The Times of London also acknowledges the dilemma of closing the border and the need for restrictions on trade as well as the impact on the Palestinians."
