....such a plan was ever carried out.

Then again, when was evidence ever needed when trashing Israel?

Remember this photo? It's from September 2008 in the Gaza concentration camp, at the height of the alleged food crisis.

Is this photo-error?

Food-washing?

BTW, Israel is incapable of blocking off Gaza's border at Egypt. Where's Egypt in all this hand wringing of yours? The MB is still, to this day, managing to impose their own blockade on Gaza. The same MB you support in Syria against Assad and his Hezbollah goons (who you only support vs. Israel, I gather). They're all Zionist stooges, right?

Well anyway, it goes to show Egypt makes its own choices and the MB isn't being bullied around by Israel. Neither now in Egypt or Syria, or then during the height of the Gaza "Concentration Camp Starvation Crisis" (TM) that you're so very concerned about.
