1. Weird,they (terrorists) can bring in weapons but not food
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz, Israel   (03.04.08)
2. A creative solution...
Yossi ,   Levittown, PA/US   (03.04.08)
Move ALL of them out of Gaza into Egypt, take back our land, then do what we've always done to make our land what it is.
3. UNRWA is enabling terror
Chaim ,   Canada   (03.04.08)
If the Palestinians did not get any help, they would have to work for a living and would have no time for terror. The World, and especially Europe, is financing them to enable them to devote time to terror and thus using them as proxy in the War against the Jews.
4. What about the Israeli civilians?
Leah C ,   Maryland, USA   (03.04.08)
What about the Gazans deliberately targeting Israeli civilians, which they do on a daily basis? That was the reason for the entire incursion into Gaza to begin with! As usual, not a peep about the warm crimes done to the Israelis, just the retaliation and acts of defense. How typical of the UN.
5. Is this what happens if you burn greenhouses?
Sheila ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.04.08)
If the opportunity to build a state and use the agricultural gifts left by Israel were taken - they could feed themselves.
6. "food supplies in Gaza running out"
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.04.08)
One jar of Gefilite fish for every weapon given over to Israel. A quarter pound of thinly-sliced corned beef for every RPG. A bowl of cholent for every Kassam. By this, the Gazans should have enough food for weeks.
7. Let them eat Qassams!
Marie Antoinette ,   Versailles, France   (03.04.08)
8. Horse you-know-what ...
moriah ,   sacramento, USA   (03.04.08)
This is more propaganda aided by YNET! Why is it when Israel starts to make headway , Hamas wants to talk about a ceasefire, Condaleeza Rice demands the fighting stop and like clock work the dirty faced rock throwers are trotted out so the European Jew haters in the media can propagate the canard that Israel is responsible for thse peoples eating habits. How in the hell did all the rockets, drugs and prostitutes get smuggled in? No people treat their children worse than these monsters who shill them for Allah and yet somehow it all gets dismissed by the pukes in the EU.
9. Cant the Ambulaces returning frm ElArish bring food instead
of Rockets&Terros ,   Alan SA   (03.04.08)
10. Let the food run out.
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.04.08)
maybe if the people are truly hungry, they won't have the appetite to bomb Israel. Maybe they'd spend a little more effort planting the fields and fishing. Nothing the UN says can be trusted. They're as useless here as they are in Darfur.
11. I,m ashamed
britt ,   Gothenburg Sweden   (03.04.08)
I belong to EU-nation, and I can`t understand why our goverments and press can´t see behind the palistinian propaganda, and understand for them lying is no big deal if it´s good for their benefit. And we support this terrorists with millions - Why are so many of our people so blind? God bless Israel!
12. Funny...they're not running out of guns. (END)
MIchael ,   Petach Tikva, Israel   (03.04.08)
13. Everyone knows that armies fight on their stomachs
Bill Ross ,   Alabama, USA   (03.04.08)
Meaning, cut off the food and the army will lose their fight. Let them all starve. Let them see that their babies will starve if they are persist in their mad ideology. Let them work the land for themselves, instead of seeking Israeli slaves. The UN is among the most wicked and dangerous of all organizations on the planet today, though they dress like the "good guy." And by the way, the only thing that unites the "United Nations" is their hostility to Israel and bentness toward Islam.
14. supplies of food, meds, etc....
(03.04.08)
dwindling. however, supply of long range expensive grads, long range expensive missiles are growing. how is that possible if there is no money for food, but money for arms????
15. 6# You took the words out of my mouth
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (03.04.08)
16. TOO RIDICULOUS!!!!
Rol ,   Toronto.Canada   (03.04.08)
You just can't make up stuff like this. Israel FORCIBLY moves out its citizens from gaza. Give's the land to the Pals, in turn they not only fire missles into Isreali civilian populations. They destroy greenhouses that could give them food. They rip out the pipes from their houses which by the way are in refugee camps(cities) to make bombs or missles. So they have no running water. No food no water, so they depend on international handouts for 50 YRS. Other Arab countries that have lots of $$$ don't give them a penny. You just can't make up this kind of stuff
17. What baloney
Mike ,   New York   (03.04.08)
Why should anyone believe Arab propaganda, publish their nonsense, or feel sorry?
18. Cement, (For bunkers) Give Me A Break
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.04.08)
As Israel is NOT an occupying power in the Strip, it owes these people nothing, certainly not cement. Let Egypt and the Arab world feed these charity cases, just as the Palis received over 2b year thanks to the world's sympathy (which they turh into Kassams). Why is Israel supplying them with anything I ask? If the UN cares about them starving, let then feed them...and as in the old movie where the tree says, "Feed me", let them too be digested as well. Jews learn computers, while Arabs learn how to blow themselves up and kill Jews. Jews build, Arab burn. Where are the billions that Arafat stole..just ask his wifie? The UN cannot end the Darfur crisis, or now in Kenya..and it dares to preach to Israel. Oh come on. GET THE UN OUT OF THE US AND THE US OUT OF THE UN. Let's stop funding this spokesperson for the Arab-Muslim-third world illiterates. The UNSC is also worthless..with it's slap on the Iranian wrist., rather than approving bombing their 30 nuke factories..sooner or later.
19. Same old tune
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.04.08)
Two years ago they said that the Arabs would be straving in two months, last year they said one week. Always the same lies over and over again, expell the terrorist supporting UN. Let them get their food, water and power from Egypt.
20. rocket blues
Cameron ,   USA   (03.04.08)
21. "PLEASE HELP- THOUSANDS OF EXTRA IRANIAN INSTRUCTORS TO FEED
Alan ,   SA   (03.04.08)
They got plenty plenty food for the Iranian and Syrian instructors . Their food is always "one week left". Babies are always starving . Has anyone ever seen starving Gazans . Always well dressed and well nourished.In fact OBESITY seems to be rife there .Big fat men and women . All children beautifully nourished . If you see Darfur People -now THATS malnutrition.
22. where are all the supplies?
Kofi   (03.04.08)
They went into Egypt to get more supplies, where are they ? by the way these were bought with cash if the reports are right. Guess they have smoked them all , and now need more.
23. Maybe Suha will loan them a few dollars/Euros
Barbara   (03.04.08)
24. Hungry?..try qassam in a pita with humus
Rol ,   toronto   (03.04.08)
25. How many times can these people repeat the same lies?
Danny   (03.05.08)
Water was "running out" in July 2006. We are now March 2008 and not a single person died of thirst - Gazans truely are a miracle of nature, having had "no" access to medicine, "no" access to electricity - but yet their TV stations still run by miracles - "no" access to food yet no one starves. Truely a legendary people. Either that or the UNWRA is lying again....
26. food supply
S ,   USA   (03.05.08)
Several weeks supply? How many weeks do they usually have? It's not economical to keep more food in local storage than necessary.
27. ISRAELI PRESS MOUTHPIECE OF PALESTINIAN PROPAGANDA
Jorge ,   tegucigalpa   (03.05.08)
Why in the name is it that Israels press keeps repeating time and again the same Arab balloney, if they have plenty of missiles and mortar rounds, also rifle bullets, and fuel to transport 160 Kassams in one truck, let them provide their own food, if they cant have both, well, thats Hammas problem, let them solve it.
28. Construction causes a hearty appetite
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.05.08)
this is true.
29. ARABS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE A MONTHS SALARY ON A REGULAR BASIS
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.05.08)
LET ALL THOSE THAT HAVE PROTESTED IN ISRAEL DONATE A MONTH'S SALARY SO THAT FOOD PROVISIONS CAN BE PURCHASED FROM APPROVED ISRAELI STORES,COLLECTED AND THEN DISTRIBUTED. TO GAZA....IF THIS IS SUCCESSFUL,AFTER ANOTHER FEW MONTHS IT CAN BE TRIED AGAIN AND DONE ON A CONSISTANT BASIS.MAYBE THOSE STATES THAT DISAPROVE OF ISRAEL'S ACTIONS WOULD LIKEWISE CONTRIBUTE A MONTHS EARNINGS FROM ALL THEIR CITIZENS, THE ONLY PROVISO BEING THAT ALL ITEMS MUST COME FROM ISRAEL APPROVED STORES AS STATED PREVIOUSLY UNDER THE STRICT SUPERVISSION OF THE U.N. IT SHOULD THEN BE SHIPPED INTO GAZA USING THEIR TRUCKS ....MUCH AS I HAVE NO SYMPATHY FOR THE OUTRAGES THE PEOPLE OF GAZA HAVE DONE,THE U.N.COULD BE USEFUL BY DOING SO ,REDUCE TENSIONS IN THE REGION.IF NOTHING ELSE
