3. Israel will overcome its problems ONLY
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.07.06)
when it starts being FIRM! NO is NO!!!!If pals acept medicines,good;if not they must get NOTHING! If Israel doesn't respect itself and its WORD who will? Enough of wimp governorns! This is a shame!!!!
4. You can't buy explosives with medicine, huh!

5. a palestinian massada complex
avramele   (06.07.06)
6. Medicines only help the sick, cannot buy arms- hence useless
Tahl ,   Israel   (06.07.06)
What to the Palestinians leaders care about medicine? Giving them medicine would only help out their sick and needy (i.e., the "unimportant" people), and help quell some of the hate toward Israel. Haniyeh certainly is not interested in that! He'd rather take the cold cash and buy some guns, bombs, and qassam rockets with this money. Or alternatively, publish more hate-inciting schoolbooks, produce more anti-Israeli propeganda on TV, or remodel his and his buddies' mansions in Gaza. And besides, how can Livni and the Israeli government have the audacity to offer the Palis 50 mil. worth of medicines, while for so long, ignoring the cancer-striken hunger strikers in Jerusalem???
7. You've got to laugh or you'd have to cry
Larry ,   Eastbourne, UK   (06.07.06)
There must be something really special about these Palestinians that they can keep getting away with this kind of thing time and time again.
8. True, Israel Arm dealers will not accept Medicine for Weapon
Nick ,   USA   (06.08.06)
since when Palestinians allow Olmert to decide for them what to do with their money. Its their money collectedforthem at crosspoints and imports, given to them by international agreement that Israel is asking the new goverment to accept, funny , how can theif ask his neigbour not to steal. So far smarties, you only starved the every day poor children, i guess thats exactly what Jewish religion calls for, and for peaple who read the news, money for attacks is still comming in and weapons are being bought and fired at israel, you know why...Becouse the big isrrael weapon mafia wants it to keep going...who else tha palestinians can by from....wake up guys...
9. Just completing my own prior posting:
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.07.06)
Hope governors WILL keep their word and give nothing to pals,if they do not accept medicines. I am fixing my prior post since I might have made a wrong inference on that about governors.
10. Ellen, please explain this to me, I am confused.
The Truth   (06.07.06)
Why would the Palestinan angels refuse to take medicine for their sick and needy? Why would those mean Jewish Zionists even offer medicine to those poor, unfortunate victims? I thought the Jews were committing Genocide against them? If you wanted to commit Genocide against a group of people, why would you give them medicine to save their lives? Please explain this to me. I am so confused.
11. #10 The Truth
Allan ,   Florida   (06.08.06)
Don't waste your time trying to elicit an answer from that pathetic bigot. If she read this article she's keeping her mouth shut. To do otherwise would reveal her for the hypocrite she is. Regards.
12. #3 - Keren, no can do.
(06.08.06)
That's what being human is all about.
13. selling israeli made medicine with Palestinian money
Hasan ,   Ramallah   (06.08.06)
Typical media reporting, this should have been reported as Israeli is trying to throw Israeli manufactured medicine paid for by Palestinian money collect from taxes held by Israel. the Palestinian have 5 companies making medicine; Israel if meant well could have paid for Palestinian companies to supply the medicine. as a matter of fact the international community have made occupation profitable to Israel. each $1 donated to the Palestinians $0.4 of it goes to israel. there should be some degree of honesty in reporting.
14. let them suffer then!
???   (06.08.06)
The world knows what the palestinians are up to and the only people who will suffer now are palestinians. The hell with them!
15. #10
NP ,   Israel   (06.08.06)
what are you even trying for? she's arab. that's like trying to explain to a russian that drinking vodka is bad.
16. Nick you fool #8
james ,   London UK   (06.08.06)
What a joker you are. Did u post this with a straight face? One too many it seems. The palestinians are starving? OK, so why keep attacking the main crossing that delivers food in Gaza? The palestinians are dying due to lack of medicines? So why turn down the offer of medicine? You and your fellow palestinian apologists are coming unstuck even in europe. You need to jump onto a different band wagon.
17. Hasan 13
keren ,   sao paulo   (06.08.06)
If it is true what you are saying,it is not enough for the sufference you pals bring to Israel
18. #11 and #15 We must respond.
The Truth   (06.08.06)
I appreciate your advice but my postings are not for Ellen's consumption but for people who come to this site and may be swayed by her deliberate lies and propaganda. I know that Ellen is nothing more than a Jew hater who would love to see every Jew (man, women and child) murdered by these Islamo facist terrorist scum and I know she will never respond because of this. But words do have an effect on people. You should always remember that.
19. Tell that to George Bush!
Tamar ,   NYC   (06.08.06)
20. Exactly James
Nick ,   USA   (06.08.06)
I am not going to call you names, becouse i am more civilized obviously than you, Palestinians attack the check points that prevented hundreds of UN food trucks from entering gaza, since disengagement, you only made Gaza a big prison, with no reason , food supplies will remain days on the cross points, untill israel decide to allow one or two a day to enter, knowing very well it contains food and medicine that sun will damage.Plus I dont believe the propeganda that Y-net is trying to betray, those peaple refuse humanitarian aid, yes, becouse as usual, this out of date or bad medicine will be sold to palestinians at an incredible high price, exactly like electricity and Gas, those poor peaple are paying more for their electricity than any most expensive city in the world...Israel occupation is not only military , put also economical, show me one thing thats get into the palestinian territory without israel taking 40% or more of it...
21. Exactly James ...Continue
Nick ,   USA   (06.08.06)
Even EU's money , just one onth ago they release 120 million to the palestinians, 70 million went strait to israel to pay the so called " bills". The palestinians are not fighting becouse of nothing, its becouse they have nothing to loose due to the refusal of Zionest israel to end an elligal Occupation, you might get away with it not, but believe meit will come to an end...one thing you didnt pargen on, the palestinians are strong and stuppern peaple, even under the un humanitarian starvation imposed by zionest goverment , they still have the power to say NONONO.
22. Jacob or Esau???
Susan ,   Observer   (06.08.06)
Until you see that Abraham was your father ( yes both of you - no matter your blessings/curses ), you will never live in peace!!! Why do you hate each other so much?? Show your brother some love - come on....
23. Blackmail !
James ,   England   (06.08.06)
They steal the land , kill the people....and we should tell them...thank you very much we appreciate this They refuse to apply the UN resolutions and work against the whole world.....and we should tell them thank you very much They humiliate the Palestinians everyday and starve them to death by coordiating with evil countries....and we should tell them...thank you very much ....we appreciate this. They steal our wealth and money everyday.....then get some drugs donated by USA money..for free...then in front of the world claim that they used OUR money to buy this medicine for us......and we should tell them wow u guys are angels and we are animals...thank you very much we do not really deserve your kindness...... This is so called "Israel" some zionists who blackmailed the whole world in order to give them a country they NEVER EVER had...... Something is BIGGGG BIGGGG going on here..... the Good news is ......The world is created over values like Justice...and will always prevail This will end for sure and the right will go back to where it belongs

Allan ,   Florida   (06.08.06)
A wise old lawyer taught me a long time ago how to carefully pick battles. Batteling Ellen is pointless. By responding to her postings you acknowkedge her and that only validates and empowers her further. By ignoring her you take her forum away and leave her as powerless as her beloved terrorists. The people that come to this site and read her postings are smart enough to see through them and understand that her venomous postings are nothing more than her expression of her anti-semitism. I know you mean well, but doing battle with Ellen is senseless and a waste of time. If we all ignore her she will disappear and will crawl back under the rock she crawled from.
29. #13, Hassan, incorrect, PA said they DONT have enough meds.
David ,   Boston, USA   (06.08.06)
Where is this magical Palestinian medical supply from? The PALESTINIANS hospitals said they didnt have enough supplied and Did NOT say they could get them from other Palestinians. Its clear you are misinformed. Stop the hate and look at the facts. Palestinians are not suffering and dont want money for medicine, just for weapons to constantly bomb Jews. Hamas Charter calls for killing all Jews. Its time for you to learn that Palestine is on the OTHER side of the River. Go home.
30. #13 Hassan - answer some questions
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (06.08.06)
1. Do you have some proof that Israel get's 40 cents on EACH dollar donated? Even Al Jazeera didn't report it. 2. If you're family needed medicine, why does it matter where it comes from? Isn't you're families health more important then making a point? 3. You think Israel should pay Palestinian companies?
