31. Questions for The State Department
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (02.08.08)
Q1 -How could possibly be that Gaza is under Israeli control when they are free to purchase their gas electricity and about anything else from any other country , for example Egypt ? Q2- How can it be these idiots who massively voted for Hamas and the demise of the State of Israel beg to enter Israel looking for jobs ? Q3- How cannot there be a humanitarian crisis when their own ELECTED government systematically blocks the entrance of food, medicine and other basics, be it from Israel of any other entity ? Q4- How can Arabs still demand we evacuate more Jewish homeland when after painfully doing so in Northern Shomron and Gaza, we only saw thousands of rockes daily attacking Israel ? Some suggested answers: A1- No one trusts them, not even Egypt, after all, their border could be more lax, which it isn't ,as we saw. Israel also needs to keep an eye on the tons of explosives and arms smuggled monthy in their attempt to erase kindergartens from Israeli soil A2-3-4 Islamic "logic" at work, nothing we can add and /or understand. that Palis are not allowed to use free thinking without loosing their lives, is one thing -- but enlightened Americans loosing their brains too?
32. With all due respect to the USA, your opinion is worthless.
David ,   Hartford USA   (02.08.08)
Americans aren't being forced to live in bomb shelters or to have rockets rained down randomly on its towns. Your advice is meaningless. "Be kind to the people who are trying to kill you." Israel, you must make your own decisions. Decide to live strong.
33. State Dept. Jew haters
Chuck A ,   Franklin USA   (02.08.08)
Kassams kill. Cutting electricity inconveniences. So state is saying Israel cannot inconvenience, but the Pals can kill.
34. First of all Condi is wrong.
vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (02.08.08)
We have REDUCED not cut off the supplies. 2nd. #14, 22 Kassams in one day are not sugar coated, they can KILL and maim. If we sent 1 back the whole world would object. WE don't care about your racist comments, If you understood ANYTHING about Judaism you would find that our aim is for a peaceful world for ALL mankind. BUT we will NOT and I mean NOT stand by any longer and leave this country that is ours by G-D Given right. I personally couldn't care less about Condi and her ilk, after all the USA has a lot of racial problems of its own. They still practise aparheid in a subtle form, and no other country refers to their peoples as Afro-American, Native-American, Latino-American, need I go on. Every person who lives in ISRAEL is refered to as ISRAELI regardless of their origins. ONLY BIGOTS and IGNORAMOUSES think otherwise. The Christians are not allowed to practise their religion in a lot of Arab states, what makes you think they will in Gaza?
35. Dear HRW and Condi
vicky ,   Asjkelon Israel   (02.08.08)
Thank you very much for you opinions, which seem to be so very biased, Can you please allow the reciprocation of UP YOUR'S! I couldnt care a 1 finger cuss about the REDUCTION in services to Pals. They never pay the bills. They only try to destroy our property, Kill our people, Maim our children. They even do it to their own. Why don't you both concentrate on the problems in the USA, Russia, Cuba, and the ilk. They need your services and biased advice much more than we do. Your upwards An Israeli Citizen who cares about her own people, who are injured and maimed and spiritually damaged by the constant bomb belts and Kassams from your beloved Pals the Pals. (Also the Levant of the rest of the Arab world.)
36. #14
te ,   usa   (02.08.08)
how about we make it fair and just send quassams into gaza all day and all night?
37. USA advice
John ,   Rechovot Israel   (02.08.08)
I would like to hear the answer of the USA to Israels "advice" were the situation reversed & The USA was daily being bombed by one of it's neighbours. I think it might go something like " Butt out & mind your own business!!"
