Israel closed the borders between Gaza and Israel due to the suicide bombings, but until then, people moved freely between the two areas. Blame those who use violence to make things worse for everyone.
If Israelis were coming across, targeting shoppers, worshippers, and ordinary citizens on buses and in cafes, the people of Gaza would be the ones closing the borders. When the Palestinian government really wants to negotiate a peace and actively demonstrates its goodwill, everyone in the entire region will benefit. As it is, the Palestinian people have been victimized by leaders like Arafat, who have stolen the millions and millions of dollars sent in international aid to help the Palestinian people. Corruption and greed among the "leaders" have led to this terrible situation. The Israelis pulled out, began to actively work for peace, but the violence continues. I hope for the best for the Palestinian people, and for the people of the entire region. But, honestly, let's blame the violence and hatred for creating the present situation. My opinion is respectfully submitted, along with my best wishes and kindest regards, lynne
