Gaza’s Facts on the Ground
The Independent / The Independent
16-Sep-2009 (6 comments)

The Gaza offensive took 13 Israeli lives, including three civilians. Meanwhile more than 1,300 Palestinian lives were lost, more than half of which were civilians, including at least 400 children. At least 5,000 were injured. The price tag for the reconstruction of 21,000 homes, schools, hospitals, mosques and other infrastructure destroyed is estimated at more than $2 billion. The conflict destroyed half of Gaza’s agricultural industry, which provided a quarter of its food.

Gaza is one of the most crowded places on earth; it holds 1.5 million people, half of whom are children under 15. The majority of Gazans are the descendants of Palestinians who were forced to flee during the founding of Israel in 1948. Eighty percent of Gazans subsist on less than $2 a day and depend on the United Nations for basic survival. Israel has imposed a 19-month-long blockade, stopping food, fuel and medical supplies from reaching Gaza despite U.N. pleas that the restrictions be lifted.

You proved you are a Zionist. You have bitched that this site is for Iranian news only while you and your comrads are byuing advertisement space on Iranian.com for promoting anti palestinian agenda. You filthy dogs are arrogant to nth degree. Your interest in Iran is as good as having all iraniangs smoked or to have them jump and cut each others throat. Pay attention, Iran has been Iran for over 2500 years but Israel, it will disintegrate under its own very weight with a little help from Iran sooner than you think.

We will see who will have the last laugh!!!!!!!!!

Only Leftist morons believe IRI cares for Palestinians!

Shah Gholam,

 

Here’s fact: U.N has declared that Hamas, which you idolize, has committed war crimes in Gaza.

Also, you lying sack of you know what! You say Iran’s interest doesn’t lie within its borders, so, you’re saying enemy making, which is IRIs best achievement, and provoking Israel to attack Iran and killing innocent Iranians because of IRIs irrational stance is within Iran’s interest? Who give them permission to take this moronic stance towards this issue? Who give them permission to sacrifice an entire country? Obviously they don’t give a rats behind for Palestinians. Its all part of IRIs propaganda to survive. Only Leftist morons like you think IRI cares about anybody! It treats its own people like animals, and you’re telling me it cares about Palestinians?

At this point, the biggest threat to Iran, its people, its value and its future, lies in IRI regime, a Fascist regime that idolize

often by the Zionists, Kashani, Fred, Iranfirst and the rest of these miserable bunch, that Iranian.com is only for Iranian news and Arab/Israeli conflict has no place here?

We shall see. The proof is in the pudding, Risht!!!!!!!!
