Re: [Marxism] Hamas outlines proposed truce

Fred:

"Israel and the US have opposed reconstruction funds for Gaza going to Hamas."



This is a lie. There are no proposals for reconstruction funds for Gaza to go 
through Hamas.

I think you're making too much of this to criticize Al Jazeera, Fred. The first 
sentence doesn't imply that there ARE proposals to send reconstruction funds to 
Hamas, it simply states an opposition to them. I can oppose you burning down my 
house even though you haven't proposed to do so.

Over and above that, there ARE proposals to send reconstruction funds to Hamas. 
Just to name two examples, the Free Gaza movement attempted during the recent 
assault to send another ship carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza, as they had 
done before the assault; they were turned around at gunpoint 
(http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=82404&sectionid=351020202). Then an 
Iranian ship carrying even larger amounts of aid was also refused entry 
(http://lefti.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html#5383316152308770570). And 
Iran is promising even more aid 
(http://www.presstv.ir/Detail.aspx?id=83724&sectionid=351020202).
