| U.S. ups pressure on Israel to end Gaza blockade |
| 2009-06-18 |
| The United States has stepped up pressure on Israel regarding the Gaza Strip: Three weeks ago it sent Jerusalem a diplomatic note officially protesting Gaza policy and demanding a more liberal opening of the border crossings to facilitate reconstruction. U.S. and Israeli sources say the note was followed by a verbal communication clarifying that the Obama administration thinks Israel's linkage of the case of abducted soldier Gilad Shalit and the opening of the crossings was not constructive. |

| #3 If I was Israel, I would send back a diplomatic note officially protesting the aiding of a sworn enemy of the state of Israel. Fair's fair after all. |

| #2 Maybe if Obama and friends (Carter, Clinton, etc) are nice enough to hamas and the arabs and the iranians, that will stop the price of gasoline from continuing to rocket upwards. Oh wait - I forgot - they Like seeing it rocket upwards - it benefits their good friends AND fights global warming at the same time. |

| #1 since the Gazan representative government (i.e.: Hamas) is involved in the continued holding of his remains, linking for purposes of collective punishment is totally appropriate |
