John Holmes, the United Nation's humanitarian chief, has revisited the Gaza Strip, a year after Israel's assault on the territory ended.

He told Al Jazeera that it was disappointing how little has changed since the war and that there has been no real possibility of reconstruction, mainly because of Israel's siege of the Strip.

He said the blockade resulted in misery for the Palestinians.

"They're living in a kind of open-air prison. They're still suffering from this kind of collective punishment they've been suffering for three years now."

After also visiting the occupied West Bank, Holmes said the situation was not good there either, with the combination of settlements and the separation wall causing hardships for the Palestinians.

"We need to tackle all those problems as well if we can.

    if you don't care about politics why do you feel the need to post over here?

    i have proven it by the numerous threads on several different countries throughout the years. and why do i need to prove something to someone who admits he doesn't even care about the subject?? using your logic i can easily say you only post in these threads and no others because you hate arabs :roll: prove it....cyprus or anywhere

    and do you have an opinion on what the UN envoy said or do you just want to continue to derail my thread?

    The man has a point. For someone claiming to be motivated by a blind passion for human rights your focus is astonishingly narrow.

    what are you getting at? ... people spew all kinds of shit here ... from both sides ...

    the posts i generally respond to are the ones that call people paranoid or kooky ... it's a little bit different than the name calling shit that goes on ...

    Fair enough, dude ... Not sure what you found particularly immature in this thread, relative to everything else that goes on.

    the part that somehow pepe has to post about other places in the world (even tho he has) to prove he cares about human rights ... what's the point of that? ... especially to appease someone who admittedly says he doesn't care about politics ... which leads me to believe he's just here to stir shit ... which sometimes isn't a bad thing i suppose but in this case ...

    It stopped being your thread the minute you posted it to a public board. Unless of course you believe that discourse should only be allowed to follow the lines you lay down for it. I think there's a phrase for that...cencorship maybe?

    and when the hell did i ever say every single person from israel is a bad person?????

    i have started numerous threads about many different countries over the years here however, my threads concerning israel are for current news and things being done with MY tax dollars

    it just seems disnegenuious to demand i start a thread about cyprus when you are holding me to a certain standard while excusing every single other person here from it. does yosi start any threads here that aren't pro-israel or attacking a critic of israel? does rebornfixer start any threads about human rights abuses in any countries? and yet you only seem to have a problem with my posts....

    now, back to what the UN envoy said......

    Polaris, please. It is obvious to anyone with eyes, simply from glancing at the board, that Pepe is obsessed (yes, obsessed) with a single issue, despite his claims to the contrary.
