Rather Disgusting

Palestinians are trying to flee Gaza into...Israel. I wonder why? Why would they flee their democratically elected province into an illegal, oppressive, occupying force?

Not only that, a few Hamas fighters disguised themselves as fleeing civilians and threw gernades at the Israeli checkpoint.

I'm all for humanitarian help, but I don't blame Israel one bit if they don't in a single Palestinian. Sorry folks, by why should a country help you if you call for their destruction? I don't say this with animosity...I say it because you elected a government whose charter - ie by definition - calls for the destruction of the state of Israel and sanctions any and all forms of illegal (by international standards) violence against said country.

Do these people not understand irony? How can you deal with a suicidal culture?

thought you would find this opinion article interesting, and it relates to your post about irony (and as the article mentions, hypocrisy).
