Britain’s secretary of state for international development, Douglas Alexander, visited the Gaza Strip this week…”Israel is preventing UNRWA from bringing paper into Gaza,” he said in an interview…”Is it really possible to build missiles out of paper? They also ask us why Israel bothers distinguishing between rice [which is defined as humanitarian aid] and pasta [which has been banned from the Strip]. This type of charge does not make it easier for those of us who seek to defeat fundamentalism and extremism and who are working in all sincerity for a secure Israel.”
