welfare of ordinary Palestinians !! the word welfare does not exists in our dictionary. we always have lived in hunger and fear. you can kill my father, jail my brother, trick my uncle to work as a spy, blow up my neighbors house, handicap my best friend, shut down my school, make my mother cry, put my 12 brothers out of work, turn us into haters, and still WE WILL NEVER LEAVE our homes.

Omri Dagan the ANALytical Team Leader at the Reut Institute at the Institute's yearly outing at Hamat Geder. To an 18 foot 'gator: "Here Kitty, kitty kitty" SNAP!! " That thing almost bit me!" Now you know why the first part of his job classification is what it is.

B"H I would be highly surprised if Hamas chose the welfare of the ordinary person to eat over its ideology of destruction of Israel. In other words, I think the #1 response is representative of the Hamas approach. I see Israel following the ideology of the article as set out, basically abandoning this area and leaving a power vacuum. This is very dangerous for Israel. A power vacuum is the condition where other states look at taking the responsibility by setting up rule. Israel is just whetting the appetite of neighboring states to attack that territory, sadly enough. The neighboring states also have the #1 response approach as can be seen by the way they treat those from the region who live in THEIR countries. If Israel also takes that approach of #1, I see it as a tragedy for Israel. Unfortunately the approach of feeding the Arabs is the approach of those settlers who have lately been so despised with uprootings and recent slander. They did whatever needed to employ those employable Arabs and feed them and keep their economy from collapsing, and they have been removed.... The plot thickens.

As they rather starve than to accept Israel's right to exist.

...and did not seize it. No concessions with Hamas Islamists criminals : recognize Israel or rot ! Simple, clear, no more arguing with Islamist zealots ! Secularize Palestine ! Free the Palestinian people ! Stop races for power ! Curb the Islamist ideaology of hatred ! Nikouda

Makes a whole lot of sense, I'm sure that simply squeezing the Palestinians even more will make everything alright. At least Omri is pointing out the contradiction in the Israeli/US policy. The rest of you people are just plain stupid....

Seems your life is very hard and all the evil thing come from Israel. What elso are we guilty of? You don't to leave your home, well so do I

Would you mind telling me just what is wrong with our nieghbours retaking Gaza and the West Bank? Would you mind telling me a single drawback of Egypt having Gaza Strip and Jordan having the West Bank (Most likely scenario since the PA will collapse)? I would rather the Arabs who hate us, but are not trying to kill us as nieghbors then the ones that do hate us and are trying to kill us wouldn't you?
