By Micah Halpern
I've Been Thinking:
Hamas is claiming that Israel wants to de-stabilize Gaza in the hope of making the situation so intolerable for Gazans, that they will rise up against Hamas leadership.
Hamas leadership is asserting that that is why Israel shut the Kerem Shalom crossing to all goods except for food and medicine, and even those exceptions must receive prearranged permission to cross the border.
Hamas issued a statement saying: "Israeli sanctions demonstrate its desire to increase the siege of Gaza and commit more crimes against its people. The world must end its silence in the face of Israel's crimes against humanity."
Hamas is not entirely wrong.
Israel is using the border closure as a vehicle to try to influence the masses who live in Gaza.
Israel is tightening the screws in order to force Gazans to rise up, to wrest control from their leadership and to act to defend themselves.
Israel wants life to be better for Gazans.
