1. Trucks loaded with SUGAR??? That's kassam fuel!!
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (12.26.08)
Is it possible Barak is stupid enough to allow truckloads of sugar into Gaza? Not only does sugar have no bona fide nutritional value, but its used by Hamas by the ton to make kassam rocket propellant. Barak has to know this. He should not only be fired, but prosecuted for treason. Something is wrong.
2. .......and as shells pound negev
Lior ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
Livini seeks international support while Barak opens gaza crossings (to appease Hamas and world opinion) while we wait for declared LIMITED gaza incursion. (ha ha) Did you know our IDF were ordered to wear tutu's and pretty kid gloves on hands...IN THE EVENT THEY EVEN GO GAZA? Heaven forbid civilians are killed as Hamas uses them for human shields as the tutu kid glove wearing IDF will be in hot water.. and one wonders why many refuse to serve these days. Only ones laughing are in the shameful picture of Livini and Hosni baby from yesterday when Livini ran to him for advice!! Hamas knows just where they have us. International community joyous. This is Israel today. I bow my head in shame, worry and complete angst against my impotent government. ...and so it goes.
3. why any aid. Israel is not responsible
real vision ,   usa   (12.26.08)
Stop all aid, no electricity Nothing, What a schmuck defence minister barak is get rid of him
4. We are turning into an indecent country
Ilan ,   Ariel   (12.26.08)
Everywhere else we live our lives as normal while the people in the Negev are held hostage by Hamas and our government's indifference to what is going on. Shame on us.
5. If israel wishes to end the attack
Muhammad El- Quassar ,   Nezereth   (12.26.08)
they should agree to the arab peace proposal. Hamas is only fighting for the rights of their brothers and sisters to return to the land that was stolen from them 60 years go in the most injaust act in 100 years
6. Why are we supporting the enemy?
Reality ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
Why are we supporting the enemy,giving aid to them? The People of Gaza have the power to stop Hamas and the other terrorists from shelling Southern Israel but they don't infact they cheer them on and handout candies in celebration! This is War whether you like it or not and during War you aren't supposed to give aid of any kind to the enemy even the Geneva convention doesn't force you to aid the enemy! QWake up Israeli gov. Let Egypt feed the Gazans, or let them bring food and meds inthrough their tunnels instead of more rockets and missles! Israel is not responsible for helping those that would kill our civillians! Go to the UN Iarael Ambassador and state that message loud and clear that we will not give support and comfort to our enemy,let the Egyptians do so...get some balls already it is embarrassing! There is no other nation on earth that would put up witht he daily shelling of its own civilians without fighting back to end it so why the heck is Israel expected to? Who cares about world opinion,they condemn Israel any way so stand up for The People of Israel!
7. it's ok to fight back. it's called SELF DEFENSE. do it.
debra ,   usa   (12.26.08)
8. to mohammed no 5
fish ,   tel-aviv   (12.26.08)
You, Arabs , of all people , are talking about justice! You've been the ruthless invaders and conquerors through the course of history, look at Berbers, Copts and other minorities and theigr plight. Biggest injustice, my ass... Biggest injustice is when your brothers and sisters kill each other in Iraq because they worship Allah in different ways.
9. #6 the key word is allow, not aid
observer   (12.26.08)
now Egypt has gained a world wide solid diplomatic support that Egypt will stand against Israel's retaliation if Egypt opens its border with Gaza. So, mind your own business and don't worry about Egypt. A humanitarian crisis in Gaza is not at all an aid to Israel.
10. #5 please....
Lior ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
This is the biblical home of Jews. Futhermore, the Hamas and Fatah charter call for the complete distruction of Israel. Your posters and banners show all of Israel, Palestine. (the make believe name of your country once given to Jews) So don't give that line of BS saying accept this accept that and we will have peace for your culture of death calls for the exact opposite. We have proof of that. Face it, your Arab brothers do not want you and if you behaved in this barbaric fashion anywhere on earth except to Jews there would be no more Palestinians. fin.
11. #5 What a load of babaganoush
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.26.08)
Hamas is fighting so they can continue to receive their paychecks and please their handlers. They've done squat for the Palestinians. 60 years and nothing to show for it except blame Israel for their failure.
12. Its all be said by others: WHAT A DISGUSTING, STUPID GOVT
(12.26.08)
13. THIS GOVT WANTS TO BE RE-ELECTED?
(12.26.08)
14. Cynthia #11
Lior ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
Right on! The Palestinians are extreme co-defendants of the check because the West needed a reason to continue to pick on Jews making us the evil pariaha's. All those NGO's and so called leaders of the west feeding into the frenzy helped cinch the deal. How long does it take to make a successful prosperous country with all that darn aid which has amounted to nothing for the Palestinians themselves. Having said that, they are so brainwashed they can not even see their leaders putting the screws to them day after day. I guess that is our fault as well. Sharon on pressure from U.S and West gave up Gaza and what once were fields of green with thriving greenhouses turned into burned out shitholes. This proves without desire from within all the money in the world can not save oneself FROM oneself.
15. Barak was the cause of the 2nd Lebanon war
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (12.26.08)
He pulled out ad hoc not caring about the pro Israeli Lebanese. Do you expect the biggest traitor in our land- 2nd only to Josephus, to do anything but feed them sugar. courtesy of the UN? As for the Hamas they bite the hands that feed them. They are rabid dogs, so be warned. And to #5 I would give you a history lesson, but you are obviously too igrnorant to read it. Israel was here long before the Romans, Greeks, Ottomans and Anti-Semetic British came and kept changing the name. David was king and built Jerusalem, he was a Jew, and some generations have never left OUR land. And now we are to stay.
16. ARE WE MAD???
Allen ,   Jerusalem   (12.26.08)
Dozens of mortar shells fired at Negev.... and we send in forty trucks of "humanitarian aid" ????? ARE WE MAD??? BARAK IS A CRIMINAL AND SO IS THE REST OF THE GOVERNMENT AND KNESSET THAT ALLOWS THIS TO TAKE PLACE!
17. aid to Hamas
avraham ,   Israel -Gaza Border   (12.26.08)
I cannot believe that Barak would have allowed food and fuel to be transferred to the Gaza Strip. This aid will not go to the Palestinian civilians but will be confiscated by the Hamas militias. This will only strenghten them and make it possible for them to injure and kill our troops. How could he do such a thing? Avraham
18. To No' 10
Muhammad El- Quassar ,   Nezereth   (12.26.08)
Arabs have lived in these lands for centuries before the jews in russia decided that they have "an historic" homeland somewhere in the middle east. Face the fact, the zionism is based on a lie. There were jews here but during the 6th century they have recieved the faith of Mohammad, may Allah bless his soul. The jews that occupy palestine now are Kossars and other eastern people who have conformed to judism
19. #18 Muhammad
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.27.08)
Israel is a reality. If you prefer to live only in an Muslim/Arab country, you have many options. No one is forcing you to stay. You should be proud that you live in one of the most techologically advanced countries in the ME. And for your information, an estimated 50% of the people in Israel have Mizrachi or ME ancestry. I have family in Israel from Syria, Yemen and Egypt who have lived in Israel for generations. To many, Zionism is a love of Israel. How is that a lie?
