      Its what we needed two years ago. What we need now is a full invasion of Israel by a coalition of the willing. Best we have is 20 or so unarmed flotillas. Bless them and bless Yemen for doing what little they can. Fuck these Western countries trying to save face as Gaza starves.

        Muslim countries have nothing to boast about either. Iran has been boasting for decades, but when push came to shove, it fell silent. Aid could also enter through Egypt, but its border is just as closed as Israel’s. Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, none of them do or say anything except for show.
