What baffles me the most in this conflict is how even those who one would think most genuinely support the palestinians are typically the ones exploiting them the most and doing the very least to actually help them out. The Egyptians have a revolving blockade which they open and close depending upon which islamic extremist group they have to placate domestically, Jordan (after kicking them out of their country) and Saudi Arabia chime in when it is politically expedient to do so, Iran (who arent even arab) pledge their 'solidarity' with arab-palestinians yet have no problem killing 500,000 iraqi arabs in war and are obviously more interested in pulling strings and dominating the region. Instead of open and legitimate humanitarian support sent in from surrounding arab countries - supposed brother arab countries who never miss an opportunity to take a shot at Israel - we have rogue flotilla ships from Ireland filled with armed goons sponsored by shady third party operatives with extremist origins...the single unifying subcontext among all being the demise of Israel of course.
