Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.15.08)
I tried to contac ^%$#@* CNN and wanted to email them that article. No one has replied to me yet. Take care of yourself and your family, please know that we are all praying for you and your region.
33. Making money with rockets.
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (01.15.08)
Looks like they get from $300 to $900 bucks a rocket. http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0115/p06s01-wome.html

35. Again. Condis border treaties at work
arthur ,   jersey city usa   (01.15.08)
before the gaza retreat condi worked out a treaty with egypt,abbas the eu to"secure" the border crossing. We have seen how well they work Now olmert will depend on the sec state of a lame duck pres to keep Israels security, with the help of the quartet. Of course the soverign pa state will have the RIGHT to arm and import tanks, artillery missiles SAMS and foreign troops.abbas has already rejected demilitarizing
36. Should have put a remote controlled detonator and tracking d
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (01.15.08)
Should have put a remote controlled detonator and tracking device in the fertilizer, track it to its ultimate destination, and then activate the detonator. 2 TON WORK ACCIDENT
37. #5 Naro: Fertilizer should be in bags marked "Fertilizer"
Izik ,   Silicon Valley USA   (01.15.08)
Naro is half-right: without fertilizer one cannot farm. So then why would the Palestinians have to smuggle it in bags marked "sugar"? It would seem they had plans other than farming for this fertilizer, and would be the same as Timothy McVeigh: to make bombs.
38. #19: Fertilizer can make powerful explosives
Izik ,   Silicon Valley USA   (01.15.08)
Bassam, the bomb that leveled the Federal building in Oklahoma City was a mixture of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, nitromethane and diesel fuel. This bomb leveled a 10 story,concrete reinforced building killing 168 people and injuring 800.
39. Humanitarian Aide? Let's just send them the rockets
Daniel ,   Tel Aviv   (01.15.08)
It is obvious that the WHO and the UN are not going to be happy unless Gaza can effectively kill more Israelis. After all there is nothing wrong with dead Jews especially those living in that horrible country of Israel. Well I say it's time to cut off everything from Gaza and issue an ultimatum. Peace now, or you will have one month to evacuate. After that we will flatten Gaza, seal it off and return the dust to Egypt. Make it their choice but this military action needs to turn into a war. They are asking for it and now they should get what they have wished for.
40. chemistry lesson
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.15.08)
for those who don't understand the connection between tons of fertilizer and explosives, try reading about the oklahoma city bombing: . ammonium nitrate fertilizer makes a nice, cheap base for explosives. timothy mcveigh was a passionate "gardener". and why couldn't it be used for agriculture? well it could, except that according to the arabs of gaza, only jews can grow crops there. for the arabs, "the sands of gaza can only grow salt". and that's why they wrecked the greenhouses that used to export produce and flowers to all of europe - being productive might have conflicted with their culture of "victimhood".
41. AS IF!
Shem ,   Denver USA   (01.15.08)
May you never be on the receiving end of that "fertilizer"! May you live to see how hoodwinked you are. And may you finally live to see the Day of Moshiach and believe and submit to HIS voice!
42. humanitarian aid
elliot ,   point roberts,usa   (01.15.08)
let them get everything from egypt--israel gives its enemies the rope to hang it with and expects peace?????
43. #7 . . . no lies required
Alex ,   MI, USA   (01.18.08)
your people doing such as fine job that all that's needed now is for the rest of the world to abandon willful blindness.
45. We ARE watching in the USA
Diane Oraif ,   Fosters, Alabama   (02.09.08)
We feel that the injustice is on both sides, but much, much worse against the Palestinians. We also generally feel that Zionism is racism, and that you are reaping what you have sewn. We feel that the Isreali public is being kept in the dark, and they are being victimized by a lying Isreali government, who is sacrificing the safety of their very own people so they can get public opinion to okay the illegal settlements on Palestinian land.
