1. World Health Organization couldnt care less about the
Ur   (01.14.08)
health of the citizens of Israel!!
2. Inspect every car, every truck, every moped.
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.14.08)
If people have to wait for hours or days to cross, it's their own fault. Why should Israel risk a single terror attack just to make the crossing easier for people whose government has vowed to destroy Israel?
3. See, they're so innocent..
MIcha   (01.14.08)
it's just the Jews and the Israeli cabal. Isn't it just the Jews controlling everything? It's not some conspiracy by the arab states to wipe out the Jews and Israel. Of course of course.
4. Rest Assured
Moriah ,   sacramento, USA   (01.14.08)
If there is two tons of ammonium nitrate found at one crossing there is five or ten tons coming in somewhere else. They are cunning and plan for every contingency and angle whereas we show elementary foresight and strategic thinking.
5. Fertilizer is used in farming as well as bomb making.
naro ,   nyc   (01.14.08)
Israel is using Bushite misinformation. Without fertilizers one cannot have agriculture.
6. big deal
dd ,   ny, us   (01.14.08)
time to carpet bomb Gaza no other way now
7. O, this is a lie to smear my people..!

8. #5 - how about going organic?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.14.08)
9. Palestinian scientific genius want to ...
(01.14.08)
help Israel by aerial fertilizing of crop.
10. Well, duh, WHO, we told you this would happen!!!!
Joe ,   Los Angeles, CA   (01.14.08)
11. No Surprise
grt ,   USA   (01.14.08)
Israel and all the other Western countries have been so tolerant and appeasing, our Western way of life will be gone soon. Humanitarian would be to protect our future generations and take care of this radical threat once and for all. Our Western leaders are all failures.

what agriculture. the gazans have NO AGRICULTURE AT ALL. but they have lots of bobs which require this fertilizer to make them.
13. If first no one believes you...
JJohnson ,   Turks & Caicos   (01.14.08)
..try try again. Keep it up 'by way of deception..' guys. There's always some anti-Muslim bigot somewhere willing to believe your silly pranks.
14. lies
Rani ,   UK   (01.14.08)
Clearly, this is a lie to justify to the international community why Israel is starving the people of Gaza and to further enforce the idea to the people of Israel that Palestinians 'cannot be trusted'. Also, all weapons smuggling happens from the Egypt - everyone knows that.
15. In Arabic, "humanitarian aid" means "explosives"?
Shira   (01.14.08)
Obviously, the 2 words are synonymous in Arabic because how else can you explain this? Why don’t the Palestinians work on creating humanitarian infra-structure? Why don’t they want to better their life and the life of their children? Is throwing rockets on Israel ('cause this is, obviously, what this stuff is for!) gonna better their existence? Is it gonna lead to anything but retaliation and mistrust? Hey, the Palestinians wanted to be independent and not "occupied". So, what are they doing to justify their existence as an independent sovereign state? "Fertilizing"?
16. war on humanitarian organizations
(01.14.08)
while the Israeli propaganda keeps repeating the words humanitarian-explosives it is actually demonizing those humanitarian workers that work in Gaza in order to deter them humanitarian workers in Gaza of all nationalities complain of the severe restrictions on their movement and activities as well as WEIRED agreements that they have to sign in order to work in Gaza...
17. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE CALL CNN!!!!
jalks ,   sderot   (01.14.08)
WHY DON'T STORY LIKE THIS EVER HIT THE WORLD WIRES?? WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE NYTIMES AND WASHINGTON POST? WHY IS THE WORLD SO BLIND TO INJUSTICE?
18. # 5 Naro
Bill H. ,   Oregon, USA   (01.14.08)
You say that Israel is using Bushite misinformation here. Well Naro, as an American who knows "Bushite" when he sees it, I can tell that you are full of it.
19. Farming Rockets
Bassem ,   Cairo, Egypt   (01.14.08)
I'm astonished from the Israeli intelligence to find such extremely dangerous fertilizing materials used to farm Qassam rockets in Palestinian lands!!. It is only a way to apply more and more pressure on the Palestinians, please note that pressure leads to explosion not fertilizing materials.
20. Rani: What do you base this on?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (01.14.08)
What proof do you have that this is a lie?
21. 5-Would've been credible if Pals smuggled glass for Hothouse
Alan ,   SA   (01.14.08)
22. #13 you're truly a lost case.
Tahl ,   Israel   (01.14.08)
So this is an Israeli "prank", right? I bet Karin-A was also an Israeli "prank" for you, right??? And if you're so much into pranks, I've got some REAL pranks for you to check out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ua9js-wnDo&feature=related And talk about bigots, you happen to make a great one yourself.
23. #5 Yes #8 is right, they have tons of organic waste to use.
(01.14.08)
NO EXCUSES
24. I don't think you need to smuggle..
Micha   (01.14.08)
in regular fertilizers for farming..but my guess is this isn't for farming..Don't you remember the lovely funnies the arabs did in gaza when Israel evacuated...they DESTROYED the greenhouses that were set up by the Jews. This doesn't look like a people that wants to farm. It looks like an anarchic bunch of thugs. Oh yea...if they didn't want to smuggle in anything, how come they put fertilizer into bags labelled as sugar and stamped with the EU mark???? Hmmmm...perhaps those who can't believe the arabs can do any evil have their collective heads up their asses... case closed.
25. #5
Natan   (01.14.08)
You are full of c...p. It was labeled as humanitarian aid!!! It was not labeled as fertilizer, right???? Gazans and agriculture? are you kidding me? Remember the green houses left behind???
26. #14
Natan   (01.14.08)
We don't have to justify crap!!! It is Hamas that provides the justification with every missile fired!!! We have no interest in starving you, you are doing it to yourselves, and sadly you are doing a hell of a great job!!!
27. When caught - Pal lovers scream "Its all lies!!"..yeah right
(01.14.08)
28. Naro
Jane   (01.14.08)
OMG. You are so naive. When we exited Gaza, several American Jewish multi-millionaires purchased the Israeli greenhouses left behind for the Palestinians of Gaza. Those greenhouses were looted and destroyed. Agriculture indeed.
29. Please support ORGANIC farming !!!
Sa   (01.14.08)
Organic farming does not require fertilazers or rocket fuel. I call the Palestinians to consider making the right ecological choice by switching to organic farming !!!

Jane   (01.14.08)
The world is not blind. They just hate us.
