1. OH LIKE THE GOOD FOR NOTHING UN CAN FIX IT :)
kt ,   nj   (06.14.07)
What a joke.
2. Letting An International Force Into Gaza Is CRAZY!!!!
MK ,   Philadelphia, USA   (06.14.07)
The UN screws up everything it touches. If the UN moves into Gaza, it will be a recognized state in no time, totally lawless at the same time, and Israel will have to worry about much larger issues than mere Qassams. The long-term arab pincer will be taking strong shape and the future will not look rosy. But, by then, Olmert would have given away Tel Aviv, so I guess it doesn't really matter, since he'll be sure to secure all Jews a paper stating that they are allowed to live in peace, ... if anyone else decides to extend them that right.
3. Just a thought...
brookes ,   nola, usa   (06.14.07)
The UN is quick to tell Israel to deal with these factions in Gaza, but let's see how the UN acts now that it has been asked to deploy an int'l force. More media attention is req'd to show the rest of the world how crazy these factions are...a UN force may just help...even though it never has before. Its not in the UN nor Israel's interest to have Iranian agents on the southern border with Hamas as well as the northern with Hezbollah. Wishful thinking...maybe the UN will be scared into finally letting Israel clean up this mess once and for all.
4. UN in Gaza
Rebecca   (06.14.07)
Will never happen - Hamas only wants the UN when they are loosing. They will never agree to them being there full time. The UN has only been speaking to Abbas and by the looks of it, he no longer counts in Gaza
5. Egypt should administer Gaza
BigE ,   Israel   (06.14.07)
If everyone is screaming for "pre-June 4,1967 " for Israel, then it should be pre-June 4,1967 for Egypt. Israel should cut off the electricity and all other serves, remove the shekel as currency and let Egypt take care of the Paleos and their thugocracy.
6. 2 I agree it doesn't really matter
Israel   (06.14.07)
TO YOU because you don't even live here.
7. Wow!!!!!!
Ram ,   London   (06.14.07)
That will be great for Hamas. They will receive the same help Hizbullah is receiving in Lebanon. The UN is useless. Israel MUST oppose this idea. Kill it NOW!!!!!!!
8. let em duke it out; 1789, 1841,1871
alan ,   kodiak island   (06.14.07)
UN should put all its energy into Darfur and N Korea
9. Isnt it easy to understand
Observor ,   India   (06.14.07)
Why all of a sudden this UN force , Israel will attack Iran and this will start a full scale war. US,EU and UN all serve the interest of Israel . Now in Lebanon , Un force is there . like that Israel wanted UN force in Gaza ,so that Un forces (International community)would be responsible for any attack on Israel from gaza side. I dont think that Israelis are this much stupid not to understand simple things. Go ahead Israel , let UN save u from Gaza side and Lebanon side . return Golan heights and make Syria silent and do urs work with Iran. Iran is making things really tougher for Israel .
10. They're going to be lining up to serve in Gaza
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (06.14.07)
11. why??
rj ,   england   (06.14.07)
why would the UN want to send in a multi-national force to gaza when all we normally hear is the poor people of gaza who are defensless under the strain of Israel on its borders and the lack of humanitity at Israels hands...now Israel has come out of gaza the world can now witness the real ways of palestinians and the way they like to conduct business between themselves...so what chance of normal relations with these people have Israel and the rest of the world going to have if they get a state ???
12. UN in Gaza = UN in Lebanon = doesn't work
john ,   nz   (06.14.07)
in fact, nothing about UN works.
13. to 9 "EU and UN all serve the interest of Israel " right.
(06.14.07)
keep smoking crack
14. Didnt the UN just get 2 killed and removed all staff?
freejay ,   Israel   (06.14.07)
15. @ 13
Observor ,   India   (06.14.07)
U really need to know International politics . UN is totally under control of USA and EU . Israel is the biggest ally of USA and where as EU , big powers . UK , Germany and France . always helped Israel for everything since 1948 . Israel is an undeclared Nuclear weapon state , coz of UK,France,USA and Germany only. USA ,EU and UN are always friend of Israel .
16. It is all about the occupation
Isac ,   Florida   (06.14.07)
that is at least what the left wingers and the majority of Arabs claimed. Here is the proof, that the Middle East conflicts are not about occupation but rather about clash between civilizations if you would ever dare to call a fascist theocratic islamic institution a civilization. Here we have a Taliban like group who wants to rule a state right next to Israel. I guess, the Palestinians are now getting what they asked for in their last "democratic" elections. What a great future you got coming for you!
17. Gaza
I. Barr ,   Michigan, USA   (06.14.07)
The only solution to the situation in Gaza is for Egypt to adnex the strip, install law and order and contain Hamas. Gazan will than have the opportunity to move to northern Sinai, Yamit, and reduce the presure of population explosion in Gaza.
