We didn't hear what you had to say about these rockests fired into Israel are Mr. Fatah ? Could it be that they are worse than oppressive,intolerable,an act of war, crimes against humanity,deserving of all out war to end these attacks from the Palestinian of Gaza ? The Palestinians do not know the meaning of oppressive yet. Once Poodle Olmert and his worthless bunch are gone ,you will meet the true Israeli who knows the meaning of never again !

nope, israel is the one that is oppressive to gaza palestinians. that was very good abu mazen, you said it just as scripted.

Why should Israel provide water and electricity FOR FREE? Why should Israel provide these commodities to an entity that lobs missiles against their children in their kindergardens? Ask the your fellow countrymen, the egyptians to provide you for free. Unless you want to see your brotherly bond immediately disappear of course...

People in Sderot have no life. Children have to protect themselves, while going to shools... Is that oppressive? I'm sorry for Pals, but they deserve all what they suffer. Most of them voted for Hamas... It's time for Abbas to fight against corruption, and repair his pas mistakes, all the reasons why people didn't vote for him. Stop blaming israelis, and start working for your people! Israel is not due to work in your place, Mister Abbas!

that terrorists do not have rights!!!

Bombing innocent people is also oppressive. Abbas should do something about it.

Thanks Marcel for your unrelenting support. Now if we only had some leaders who would care about us the same way as you do we would be in great shape. The reality is and marcel understands this that we are in the hands of to use your expression of global pagans. Ynet represents these global pagans and does not care about its journalistic responsibilities. We are in the hands of the blind who only listen to lies.

Boy is he ever playing both ends against the middle. oh well... he'll soon be gone!

day, If they argue about it we should back date it to when we had the first kassams, which was way before we pulled out of Gazza. Besides, didn't the EU do it a few weeks ago and nothing was said? Whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

It's time to clean up Gaza and turn it into no man's land. If there is no respect for Israeli civilians in Sderot, there cannot be any respect for the civilians in the Gaza strip. A government's first duty is to protect its citizens. Israel must therefore do what it takes to stop the Qasaams once and for all!

It's logical and necessary

What's the point if they don't? See Iran for details. Weak sanctions lead to defiance. See Gaza for details. Weak sanctions lead to Qassams.

Israel's continual occupation of Gaza must be ended, and the people of Gaza freed from their 40+ years of imprisonment in the Gaza concentration camp. The UN must open Gaza’s borders to the world through Egypt and help rebuild the Gaza airport and sea port that were previously destroyed by Israeli occupation forces so the Palestinians can for the first time in the lives of many, live without oppression as free people and without fear of Israeli or settler attacks. Until they are allowed to be free, they will continue to fight the oppression and occupation of their homeland as anyone would be expected to do under the same conditions.

well, the truth is always horrible, but someone has to say it. Those sanctions will never improve the situation. Israel will have to bear even more Qassam attacks. A hungry person will do anything in order to get something to eat. Yes, the Qassam attacks on Sderot are a crime as well, but cut off humanitarian needs is not the right way to tackle this problem. this problem could have been solved a long time ago. Maybe Israel should just enter the gaza strip and enlarge the security line so that qassam wont be able to hit Israeli communities?

Abbas is defending the thugs and terrorists. Is this a 'partner' of peace? Certainly not.

alcohol. Your post makes no sense to any 'sober' person. We look forward to hearing from you again after you've have a good night's sleep. Mike

and stealing millions from them and fattening your bank account and leaving your people to starve and committ suicide out of desperation, to live with hate and misery is not opressive. cut the bull shit. you are no better than arafat was. you stole milllions with your corrupt government instead of using this money to better the lives of your constituents. you are the one that gave birth to hamas and you are the one still encouraging them to act and terrorize. cut the bs. we israelis see through your garbage. you will never have your state. never. you will live and die the way you presently live and die. in the dust and sewers you created for yourselves.

The Palestinian leaders (both sides) could come together and ensure their people don't have services cut off. It's in THEIR hands. All they have to do is STOP the ROCKETS! Don't demand that Israel sit and take rocket bombardments! STOP THEM! If the attacks stop, Israel has no need to cut off anything. If attacks continue, Israel MUST act for the good of Israeli people. Let it be on the heads of the Palestinian leaders!

Which planet have you been on the past couple of years.Israel WITHDREW from Gaza!!! You cannot justify terrorist rocket attacks on an occupation that does not exist!!! ISRAEL owes Gaza NOTHING.Let the arabs there supply their own utilities. You need to get your brain examined.

Would Abbas prefer that we bombed the entire Gaza strip and murdered thousands, maimed hundreds with greater fire power than his terrorists have done with suicide bombers and Quassam rockets for the past 60 years?

The only oppression going on right now is the violence that is flowing daily, like a rotten river, from Gaza into Israel. The only oppression is Israeli children going to school in bomb shelters every day and fearing for their lives as missles fall from the sky as they walk home from school. The only oppression here is from the Hamas government upon the Palestinian people, who are intentionally kept in a state of poverty and distress in an effort to bring world opinion against Israel. The only oppression here is upon the Palestinian children who are being used as human shields by their own parents who care only about hatred and perpetuating violence and destruction... PALESTINIAN PEOPLE WAKE UP! you are being oppressed by your own government. They use you. They are keeping you from succeeding as a people, as a nation. DEMAND CHANGE! DEMAND YOUR GOVERNMENT ADOPTS A NON-VIOLENT ATTITUDE and watch how quickly your people prosper. You will have everything you need. Your economy will BLOOM, your people will grow. Your self-induced oppression will END in a week... All you have to do is STOP launching missles into Israel, STOP blowing yourselves up in Israeli coffee shops... and START teaching your children that violence is NEVER a viable solution!
