Of course your kids hate Israel. Our withdrawal three years ago did nothing to change it. You educate them to hate, nothing more. Hate Israel, hate Jews, eliminate Israel. Jihad. And you are stupid enough to admit it. You don't want peace - all you can digest is hate. We will retaliate, you know.

You guys have nothing to rant about. If it wasn't for the killing machine of Hamas working on behalf of Iran, these children would not be orphans. You create your own problems then blame Israel. Bad habit. Jihad for dummies. The offer by the Kibbutz Movement to give these children some help and respite is more than Hamas or Iran has offered them. Programs like this are offered to Israeli children traumatized by terror.
65. These children are lucky to come to Israel
Historical Observer ,   NY   (01.29.09)
What a great way to help out those who have lost so much because of the madness of their people. These gaza children will be treated with care and comfort for 2 weeks, probably the longest in their lives up to now. Their families were killed because of the failures of Hamas and now they can rest a little. All arabs should see how remarkable this is. Only something that could happen in Israel. The mere idea of Israeli children coming to stay with you for 2 weeks would undermine your brainwashed hatred of all Jews. Learn to love your children as much as we love ours (and now even YOURS). Maybe this is the way to show you how to do it correctly, as Golda felt.

It is not me who equates Hizb with Lebanon but your IDF. And Hizb-fighters did not hide behind civilians. you kept telling the opposite to yourself until you believed it Here’s what Human Rights Watch concluded after an exhaustive investigation: “we found strong evidence that Hezbollah stored most of its rockets in bunkers and weapon storage facilities located in uninhabited fields and valleys, that in the vast majority of cases Hezbollah fighters left populated civilian areas as soon as the fighting started, and that Hezbollah fired the vast majority of its rockets from pre-prepared positions outside villages.” And again, “in all but a few of the cases of civilian deaths we investigated, Hezbollah fighters had not mixed with the civilian population or taken other actions to contribute to the targeting of a particular home or vehicle by Israeli forces.” Indeed, “Israel’s own firing patterns in Lebanon support the conclusion that Hezbollah fired large numbers of its rockets from tobacco fields, banana, olive and citrus groves, and more remote, unpopulated valleys.” But again you will tell me HRW is antisemitic, blablabla ...

"BTW, we withdrew from the Gaza strip three years ago" but kept (together with your ally egypt) all crossings closed starving the population there. I suggest you close all crossings to Gaza and stop delivering anything to them, but their other boarders are not your business: so you have no right to close sea and air entries. You will see how gazans will receive aid from the outside world and won't ask you for opening the crossings. This would be a good basis for a long truce
68. ROAD TO HELL
Simple Yid ,   Israel   (01.29.09)
I wouldn't put my name to or near this one. Whatever the intentions behind this one, it's wrong, well wrong. Next we''ll be going into gaza and forcibly converting everyone with the sword. What next.
69. Weird, sick, crazy, ridiculous,etc.
Disgusted ,   Israel   (01.29.09)
Maybe more children will want their parents killed so that they can merit a kibbutz vacation.
70. To #67 Mehdi
Dana ,   Ramat Gan   (01.29.09)
1) No Gazan starved. This is a plain lie. Check your facts before you blab, mate. 2) Palestinians used to work in Israel until they started their INTIFADA. 3) So much money has been flowing into the Gaza strip for many years now from all over the world. Where on earth did it vanish to?
71. Orphaned Gaza Kids
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (01.29.09)
Ynet - I heard that this project was cancelled. Hamas forbid the kids to come to Israel as they were afraid we'd brainwash them. Isn't it time to take this item off the page?
72. the point is?
... ,   ...   (01.29.09)
give them a two week holiday, when its not even been a fortnight since they were orphaned, send them to a museum and zoo buy them some sweets. then what? send them back to what? these are children. do you really think they even really understand the war between israel and palestine? they will still grow up to hate the government who killed their parents. just the same as those oprphaned by terrorists hate the terrorist organisations. or how anybody would feel towards whoever killed a family member or friend! it is just another attempt by the israeli authorities at bad bad propaganda, trying to act like they really really care. and maybe if this kibbutz really does care, thats nice, but what will it really do? why not give them a home? send them to school? give them counselling? something that will be long lasting!!!
73. # 30 Marco,You are the lowest form of life
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.29.09)
You write some of the most anti Jewish talkbacks I have read on Ynet. You obviously hate Jews, yet you constantly troll the Jewish web sites. Take your sick obsession with Jews elsewhere.
74. Ali # 55
Harvey ,   London UK   (01.30.09)
Ali I agree with you . For these children to come to Israel having lost their parents serves no purpose at all. Even before their terrible loss ,these children have been indoctrinated with mindless hatred . To show them some semblance of normality and care ,decency and a different morality is utterly absurd ..Its a nice gesture but totally wasted.I agree with a previous poster who correctly stated that these children would be better placed going to another Arab state. The problem for Gaza and for Israel is that you have chosen a leadership which does not value Palestinian lives ,hopes aspirations or future.Their only goal first and last is to seek to destroy Israel ,no matter the human cost .Your death is a propoganda victory and the promise of eternal life as Shaheed. Ask yourself one question Have Hamas acted in the best interests of the Palestinian people
75. #30 Friend from Spain
Yaron ,   USA   (01.30.09)
You should not throw stones when you live in a glass house. With the disgusting history your country has as it relates to the Jews, you should shut your trap and stick to your Tapas. Your country represents the spinelessness that is the disease that afflicts Europe.
76. Thoughtful initiative
Norma Fares   (01.30.09)
Pleae stay doing the right things. If the world of today cannot recognize the history of the Jews' input in defending Humanity for the sake of Humanity, they would recognize it someday. So please stay doing the right things.
77. this is a bit sick
Israeli   (01.30.09)
i know it is a well intentioned humane gesture but what if hamas invited survivors of suicide bombings to stay at their houses. a little strange. i suppose each would see the effects of the violence on the other which may help stop it. maybe that is the intention?
78. 2 Sides of this:
GHook93 - US Jew ,   Chicago   (01.31.09)
(1) To all the idiots that are crying foul. War is war, civilians dying is a fact when the perpetrators (Hamas) intentionally high amongst and behind civilians and make civilian targets, such as mosques, schools and apartments targets by firing rockets from them, hiding weapons in them and shooting at soldiers from them. (2) Regardless of whether these children's parents died during a JUSTIFIABLE war, these children are orphans, their parents have died. Its absolutely tragic and it hurts me to thing of how hard their lives are going to be. What is 2 weeks in Israel going to do? Allow these children to come to Israel to live, if not with Jewish families, for god shake let them be adopted by Israeli Arab families. Each should at least have a college fund set for them. If there is a god, which I truly believe there is not, please bring an end to the I/P conflict soon! Both people have suffered way to long. 2 weeks to forget about the pain of losing both parents, who are you trying to kid!
79. Why bother?
jsm   (01.31.09)
Sure its meant well. But its a waste of money and will not help matters at all.
80. You'd have better luck trying to forbid the tide from.......
Cameron ,   USA   (01.31.09)
coming in, Kibbutz Movement. Hoping in vain.
81. you are really sick
samir ,   new york, NY   (02.01.09)
you kill their parents and then suggest that converting them to judaism will place them among those who hold life sacred? this entire program is sick and twisted as if the life long damage can be unwound with a trip to the zoo and a couple of movies.
82. #30 Marco: You are right!!!
Don Quixote ,   USA   (02.02.09)
Indeed, sickening! To bring children of murderers for a two-week vacation! Where were these " nice people" when children from Sderot lived under fire? Why were they not given a vacation and a respite? "He, who is good to the cruel, will be cruel to the good" Just right!
83. #10 liars stop using them as shield and then kiling them to
rachel ,   usa   (02.02.09)
pretend israel did it ....
84. Gaza Childern's visit
Balla ,   New York   (02.03.09)
That is just Israeli propaganda!
85. Mean comments
Ana ,   Spain   (02.03.09)
The fact that Israel cares about those children is one more excuse for criticism from the israeli-haters. These people use the occasion to attack Israel because of it. The root of all the criticism against Israel is that this country does not permit terrorist gangs to murder its citizens. If those children are now orphans, the reason is one of the following: -their parents were terrorists, -their parents were not terrorists. Moreover, how do we know their parents were not killed by hamas? In any of both cases, criticism should be against Hamas and the other gangs.
86. 30. Marco
Ana ,   Spain   (02.03.09)
The Jews won’t let the nazislamists murder them to please you.
87. 71. Barbara
Ana ,   Spain   (02.03.09)
I guess hamas is afraid that the children may get dis-brainwashed.
88. 456. Funny
Ana ,   Spain   (02.03.09)
Can you imagine the hamas et al inviting jewish children whose parents were murdered by the terrorists? What do you think the thugs would do to them?
89. Offensive, self-serving propaganda
Diana Ralph ,   Ottawa, Canada   (02.05.09)
Kibbutzim offering R & R to Gazan children whose parents were killed by the Israel: Hmmm Slaughter 1,400 mostly civilians, destroy $1.4 Billion infrastructure, maintain the siege so all the people (and children) starve and can't get medical care. And then subject a few orphans to self-serving propaganda from the murderers. Makes me ashamed to be Jewish.
90. Cynical who?
Gig and roll ,   Caracas   (02.07.09)
Well, before Israelis came and took their land away, there was certainly no need for arabs to think about taking Israeli children anywhere, because the few jews around and the lot of the arabs just lived side by side, without hatred or mass murder to answer to.
