'Gaza blockade impedes Palestinian growth'
2013-07-04
[Pak Daily Times] Israel's blockade of the Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,-ruled Gazoo Strip has dramatically restricted the income of Paleostinian families and hampered their development, a top UN official said on Wednesday.

"We see the dramatic impact on the people of Gazoo because of the closure and blockade and how the income of these people has been dramatically restricted," UN humanitarian coordinator for Paleostinian territories James W Rowley told news hounds during a visit to the enclave.

"These restrictions affect the poorest the most; they impede development of a sustainable economy and increase dependency on aid," he was also quoted as saying in a statement. During his visit Paleostinian farmers complained to Rowley how the blockade has affected their products.

"Our products are always damaged because of the closure of the terminal. Our strawberries have to go through four or five stations before being sold through Kerem Shalom," an Israeli terminal for transporting goods from Gazoo, farmer Ayman Subuh from Beit Lahia said.

#3  seems like they have a gate to Egypt open when they're not pissing them off as well, no? Ungrateful lay-about assholes lose bitching rights

#2  I'd argue that the blockage is good for the Paleos because it prevents them from reaching their full annoyance potential, something which would result in a complete and thorough ass-kicking from the IDF.

#1  Our products are always damaged because of the closure of the terminal.

If it ain't one damn thing it's another, a lot like life. It would be so cool if they had 800 or 900 acres of greenhouses to spur production. Perhaps the noted American Agriculturalist Wednesday Adams can provide verbal assistance.
