31. Not propaganda. This is how they operate.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.07.09)
There's plenty of video out there showing how these "resistance" types operate. One from 2007 shows video taken by an IDF drone of mortars being fired from the roof of a UNRWA school. But there's more going on. Anyone wonder where Hamas gets the pipes they fashion into Kassams, or the concrete to build their bunkers? From those aid shipments. Hamas is also believed to have stolen some of the NIS 100 Million trucked into Gaza recently; that's according to Palestinian sources. Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood. Their cause is jihad. They tell you that themselves. Everything is permitted in the name of jihad.
32. IDF keep going
marcel   (01.07.09)
you knwo the whole story-30 kids dead in school-hamas fired amongst them, explosives all over the place, israel fires back normally, explosives detonate, israel gets blames. This hamas is a satanic death cult-slaughter these bastards. now Europe and UN yoiu choose-al quaeda and hamas and hezbollah or Israel. If you choose hamas, the start talking arabic and praying 5 X a day in the mosque because that's where you are headed. You make me sick. Barak and livni, don't allow olmert to cave in, the egyptian resolution has no teeth and doesn't address rockets up front, smuggling or philadelphia route.
33. Not surprized. Been saying this all along...
Chaim Geldfeld ,   Berlin Germany   (01.07.09)
Good Job Israel. Finish the job. We have more fish to fry. We arent done yet.
34. No. 30: No, it puts Hamas in the class of the Vermont Govt.
Robert ,   Vermont   (01.07.09)
The Vermont Govt. take our taxes, take the federal subsidies, and the money just disappears. They do not fix the roads, bridges or any other infrastructure which is all falling apart. And we don't have any right to know where all this money is going... my research indicates it's subsidising IBM and absentee landlords.
35. RE: Absolute rubbish
Palestine ,   Palestine   (01.07.09)
The words written in this article are absolute rubbish. How can Hamas be taking cuts of supplies when israel will not allow supplies to be conveyed across the border.
36. Erm, how about sources? Citations? Is this an opinion piece?
Rachel ,   Florida   (01.07.09)
Regardless of whether or not anything in this article is true, the author does not say where the information came from. Either it's plain bad (really bad) journalism or an opinion piece.
37. And as for Greg
Roy   (01.07.09)
Foreign journalists were permitted to enter Gaza for a few days now.
38. what kids were doing in school in a midle of a war??
yel ,   paris france   (01.07.09)
someone of the pro palestinians here can answer that? someone who care about his children protect them and hide them in a bunker no put them outside in the stretts when there is bombs hamas have hit many times kids garden and schools in sderot and in the south of israel but there werent injuries because there were empty it is what normal people do to protrct children! not use them at a shield!
39. Good nite coldas
Moshe ,   Nice (France)   (01.07.09)
I suggets we hide some sleep pills in rice bags so IDF could win this battle quickly with no loss ? I know ...
40. # 5 Buh to Ireland, Spain and co.
Claudia ,   Germany   (01.07.09)
yes. as absurd as it may sound to you and many of other European, this is exactly what Hamas probably does: Hamas is using its own women and children as human shields so why not stealing their food if they have to finance their escape from Gaza or the rockets they still shoot at Israel? They are right now hiding in save places and don't give a shit for their people's lives. Only the old traditional hatred to Jews is still blinding many Europeans from seeing the truth. People in Europe would not show as much sympathy for this bloody terror group if it was a Christians country to be attacked or terrorized by them. Mr 5, believe it or not, THEY ARE EVIL, WORSE THAN THE DEVIL. NO WONDER PEOPLE. WHO HAD THE PRIVILEGE NOT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THEM, CAN'T IMAGINE HOW EVIL THEY ARE...
41. #25 Animals are good
Claudia ,   Germany   (01.07.09)
Don't compare these Beasts with animals. Animals are peaceful and good and never harm one if left in peace...
42. What's the big deal???
Natan ,   USA   (01.07.09)
They stole Gaza so what is the big deal about stealing afew trucks???
43. Where is CNN?
Gila ,   Phila, USA   (01.07.09)
Let CNN publish this information so the whole world will see who we are dealing with.
44. abbas protests of catastrophe
mohson   (01.07.09)
This useless hack, who is as weak as olmert, is a bald face liar and scumbag with his peace now chants. he's in bed with the satantic death cult hamas, hezbollah, and iranian filth ahmadijad(american killer)and larijani. The trio along with syria are the scumbags and liars. Here you have hamas ripping off gazans from the food shipments and charging them money, forcing civilians to give them cover, and firing from schools sacriicing their own people in order to gaiin points with the bleeding heart christianne amanpour media and the UN apologist for arabs who love alquaeda resistance movements. After this, no more talks except peace for peace, and truces. IDF -keep going
45. Dear #11
Eli ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.09)
Here is a video of terrorists firing rockets from a UN school... hope this helps! http://www.ynet.co.il/articles/0,7340,L-3651788,00.html
46. 'Reports...'
Mizrahi ,   London   (01.07.09)
Unless the sources are elaborated upon, the story lacks very little weight.
47. Gila
Ben ,   Monroe USA   (01.07.09)
CNN no longer has a voice in Israel. Why? Simple, their anti-Israeli and anti-semitic distortions of the news in Israel and the ME were more than sufficient. Right here in the USA they show "both" sides of the "news". But if one watches, they still try to slant the news to fit the arab propaganda. But then ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX are no better.
48. 35: yes we do
Inna ,   Rishon Le Ziyon, Isr   (01.07.09)
in the firt day of the operation alone we let 90 trucks with humanitarian supplies in gaza. why do you not hear about that? well, maybe because no matter what we do we would always look like "the big bully" the eyes of the world because we are stronger and have technology and equipment. almost as if we have to apologize for protecting innocent people. im tired of idiots like you that don't check the real facts and believe everything they hear. we do as much as possible not to hurt civilians but it's not that easy when the terrorists hide among them.
49. To # 35 Do you read the news and see tv?
Rachel ,   USA   (01.07.09)
Israel has been allowing humanitarian aid you moron, and they have just decided to create a humanitarian corridor to pass more help to te Palestinians!
50. FINALLY SOMEONE SAYING IT AS IT IS!!!!
Rachel ,   USA   (01.07.09)
To those who don't believe it's true, have you not heard and seen how Hamas has been torturing and killing Fatah supporters since they came to power? Did you not see how they are hiding in hospitals, schools, homes? Did you not read about how they execute suspected collaborators???? Seriously, this report shocks you an sounds incredible? To me 2+2 is still 4. Apparently you guys can't count anymore...
51. Next time you send humanitarian trucks in Gaza...
Takan ,   Eilat   (01.07.09)
Make sure to empty them of all goods and fill them with soldiers to ambush the Hamas dogs. Why Israeli soldiers aren't monitoring the humanitarian goods and their destination is above me.
52. Enough is enough
Zuri ,   Sydney Australia   (01.07.09)
I see some of the news, and I cannot turn a blind eye to what is happening. I would like to see an end to suffering of Palestinian People. Terrorist organization Hamas has failed miserably to secure the future peace and prosperity for the Palestinian people Not only that they (Palestinians) have chosen a terrorist group as a political representative where is the end of all this?? The Palestinian people, women children need food and medical supply, and terrorist group is ceasing the shipments and deliveries to Palestinian, so they can SELL IT TO THEM.... If this is not the ultimate spitting in the face by terrorist group Hamas...what is, they turned against their own people The actions carried out by leadership of Hamas is dragging the Palestinians and Israel to a vicious cycle of deadly violence, which can only stopped by the terrorist group Hamas, or someone need to stop them. There will be no negotiating and a lot of internal violence inside Gaza because of Terrorist Ismaeel Hania and we wish no part of it. We want peace and we want it right now, Let the people of Gaza and Sderot live in peace. NO BOMBS NO ROCKETS JUST IN PEACE I feel sick when I think how many people died in Gaza and I want it to stop right now!!! there is no excuse for lose of lives I do not have anything against Palestinians or Muslims, I want to live together in peace I would like to see the Palestinians live in peace and prosper and not digging tunnels so they can kidnap soldiers and send suicide bombers it is ridiculous Stop firing rockets at Israel, Just don't do it !!!!!!! Enough is enough
53. Sources? Gaza residents
Free Gilad Shalit ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
Our TV stations are in touch with Gaza residents daily. They are relaying what is happening in Gaza, but their names are NOT being disclosed. They would be shot for collaborating. Isnt this obvious or are some people too thick to understand the situation there??
54. No press allowed in Gaza. How does author know all of this?
Sarah ,   New York   (01.07.09)
And, if the author has some kind of "special" access, perhaps author should MENTION where the info came from? Sheesh, what 4th-world journalism.
55. To Raymond #31. Hamas Stealing Food-Aid.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (01.07.09)
You say :” Hamas is Muslim Brotherhood.” Hamas stealing food-aid meant for the Muslims of Gaza -- shows that Hamas has abandoned brotherhood towards Muslims. And selling it to the Muslims of Gaza (while it is meant to be given FREE of charge) -- shows that Hamas is a gang of THIEVES, and not really concerned about the welfare of the Gazans.
56. are you ok?
zribel   (01.07.09)
you propbably need some medicine to open your eyes and clean up your grey cells to finally understand what it means to be an occupation army and what kind of respect a nation occupaying other peoples land deserves --> none! So keep dreaming beeing on the side of "good"
57. to Mizrahi
Rena   (01.07.09)
This is not the Beeb. Here you read reliable information, not Guardianist agit-prop.
58. I cant share this article. Here's why.
David ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
Whenever I want to show this article to my non-Israeli friends who claim that Israel is being abusive, they check the owners of the site and say that if its Israeli, it cannot be trusted - since it must be "propaganda". We need similar reports from foreign media to make this "true". Where ARE these reports? Why is the Israeli media the only one that's reporting this? Please, if I fail at Google, and you know where I can find similar articles in English from non-Israeli, non-Jewish sources, link them here so we'll have something to show to our oversea friends.
59. #36, you mean like the sources
Danny   (01.07.09)
that are quoted for all the "civilian" casualties?
60. #11 - look deeper and you may find it
William ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
There is a strong reason for reporters NOT being allowed into Gaza, namely 1) several instances of foreign reporters announcing information and putting IDF soldiers at risk by alerting the otherside (on purpose), and 2) stupid reporters, like Reuters always put themselves in harms way, right in the line of fire then call it a war crime when they get hit. No thank you. Stay out! Regarding the claim on UN schools - Drone footage now shows it being used to launch rockets. Secondary explosions prove it as a weapons depot. Where is YOUR outrage at the UN for allowing this?? Schools, Mosques, Hospitals, homes - all supposed to be off-limits - always! Why NO outcry over Hamas' use of human shields?? BTW, I'ev seen the videos already of Hamas - they are disgusting!
