1. the nations criticise us no matter what.
ecr   (12.23.08)
We are one of the smallest nations on the planet. Let us look after our own good and the nations will follow us instead of anything else.
2. Israel has the same rights as others
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (12.23.08)
As long as Israel's claims follow the same rules and principles as those neighbors, they have no right to complain. But ecr (#1) is right. They'll criticise no matter what Israel does or doesn't do. So don't be a wuss or a "freier" (sucker). You're no less sovereign than they are.
3. IF Egypt and Cyprus Can Claim.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (12.24.08)
IF Egypt and Cyprus can claim stakes of their own in the financial waters of the Mediterranean -- WHY not Israel. Why should Israel be scared of international opinion, while Egypt and Cyprus can claim their stakes ? What kind of NONSENSE opinion is that !!! And the Israeli stake SHOULD include the waters of the coast of Gaza Strip -- till such time when Gaza Strip will become independent. (After independence, Israel will retain its stakes in the “financial waters” for FIFTY years ; after which it will be given to Gaza Strip.)
