Bizarre Jihadist plot could explain Israel's military failure

Isreal's ground war is going slowly, this is difficult to explain, could it be as a result of a deliberate Jihadist plot to make it tough for their army to move through hostile territory.

US troops failure in Iraq could because of similar weighty factors, I think we should be told.


Any way, the thought of school teachers in New Mexico, rubbing their cents together to buy Israeli solidiers doughnuts is depressing, banal.

Here, without any discussion of their respective records and politics, are some of the groups raising cash to help on the ground in Gaza, Lebanon and if necessary Israel.

Unicef

http://Christian Aid give a similar account to the other two organisations, I guess all three work together and I guess all three are finding that helping out is difficult due to the Israeli war machine (and to a lesser extent the Lebanese forces fighting them).

I wonder whether the people who donate to Israel's troops know that they are fighting all religions and none in the region

this is what Christian Aid say

'Give to our Middle East crisis appeal

Our partners in the Middle East are at the forefront of the current crisis which is affecting civilians in Lebanon, Israel and Gaza.

In Lebanon, where thousands of people are on the move after intensive bombing, partners are providing food, water, medicine and accommodation.

In Gaza, air-raids have damaged electricity and water supplies. Clean water is scarce and there is an increased threat of disease from untreated sewage.

With your help our partners in the region will be able to provide water tanks to affected areas and distribute food or medicines to the poorest families.

We'll be involved in the long-term, helping rebuild affected communities and re-establish our partners' development'
