1. Do we care? Absolutely NOT
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (07.04.09)
We can't have ninjas as neighbors
2. You wanted Islamic rule, and you got it, baby

3. Where the money come from?

4. Backwards

Should tighten the controls on Gaza, not loosen them. That will bring Corporal Shalit home (or effect the repatriation of his remains) much, much faster. People don't like to starve. They'll revolt against their Hamas leadership, I say impose an absolute embargo (like Egypt's hermetically sealed border with Gaza) and let the chips fall where they may. Relaxing the restrictions is tantamount to handing Hamas a victory. They have no intention of releasing their only trump card; Shalit (or his remains) is the only reason Israel hasn't carpet bombed Gaza. Do you think they'll give up the only thing that is keeping them from annihilation?
5. Boohoohoo!
Roy ,   USA   (07.04.09)
Well, boohoohoo! Why do Gazahkstan Arabs never ever blame the REAL party responsible for their poor predicament, HahaHamass? Believe that Hamass LIKES things the way they are! THEY are the ones charging the "high prices," since their tunnels bring in the goods! "Terror "fundraiser!"
6. You got just what you asked for so stop
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (07.04.09)
whining. I don't care. Starve in the dark
7. Israel left Azza for good.
Nour ,   Land of Israel   (07.04.09)
Why not ask Egypt to allow those products in?
8. Lies lies and more lies!
freejay333 ,   ISrael   (07.04.09)
Why does YNet continually print Ali Wakeds propaganda lies? Watch any video and one can clearly see there is no food shortage.....most of their women are fat! Despite that, Israel allows in an ample supply of basic food items!
9. Gazans-their wish was granted
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.04.09)
Serves them right. 80% wanted Hamas and they got what they deserved and wanted
10. this is what they voted for, now live with it

arabs always whine instead of taking collective responsibility for their choices
11. Not severe enough for Arabs to stop attacking crossings

13. READING HISTORY....
SALEEM ,   GAZA , PALESTIN ,REA   (07.04.09)
I ADVICE THE ISRAELI PUPLIC AND THEIR LEADERS TO READ HISTORY CARFULLY NOT TO BE PROUD OF THERE AGRESSION AGAINST THE POOR PALETINIAN RESIDENTS ,
14. Severe Shortage In Gaza
NYC Girl   (07.04.09)
Again the Palestinian victimhood narrative. Excuse me while I go and look for my crying towel.
15. Gee wouldn't those green houses come in handy now
Galut ,   Selah   (07.04.09)
to bad Hamas backers destroyed them after Israel took a positive step toward Peace and gaveup gaza a couple years ago... There is still a chance for true Peace (not Hudna) - Recognize israels right to exist - stop launching qassam rockets at israeli communities and other terrorist activities.... and Gaza will find that many in israel will reach out a hand and help...
16. Ohh, the humanity! Expel those that come to kill you
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (07.04.09)
And the others won't keep. While you refuse to remove the threat, the others are left in your midst are funded, armed and trained to come and kill you. Yet you are admonished to let this generation's designated Jew killers run free to exact their goals in their appointed rounds of killing you. Ohh, such despair while your government APPROVES of recidivists to further aremed and trained by Dayton pasha to come and kill you.
17. shortage
colin   (07.04.09)
It is not the gazans that report shortage of food.IT IS ONLY THE TWISTED MEDIA ATTEMPTING TO CRY FOR ATTENTION Not seling enough papers?? Not getting eough lies from the TV ? Any junk print to fill te coloumes.Who is the writer??? All the answers fall in place
18. Another barbed wire propaganda photo
Bob ,   Swtzerland   (07.04.09)
The editor uses an obvious propaganda photo with barbed wire to make Gaza look like a concentration camp and/or a prison.
19. #13 - I suggest Pals revisit their history of aggression
William ,   Israel   (07.04.09)
and know that for decades, their racist hubris against Israel has only brought them despair and hardship. Pals - look at your history and the result of your actions of aggression at a time when your were working with Israelis, traveling freely, and building an economy with respect. Remember these actions and the results - before you claim you are "poor Palestinians" who actually hold the key to your own demise. Go out and protest to Hamas - tell them to stop the violence and return Shalit!
20. #18 - Barbed wire to keep looters out, most likely
William ,   Israel   (07.04.09)
Though the picture was definitely used in the propaganda manner you mentioned, for sure the barbed wired is used to keep looters out. Now that the border is closed, Gazans can only steal from each other with Hamas being the biggest thief.
21. Gaza Attacks Israel with THOUSANDS of ROCKETS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.04.09)
and expects VICTIM Israel, to feed and supply the perpetrators and their massive numbers of supporters. Gaza's Muslims attacked Gaza's Jewish communities with thousands of rockets before the vicious ethnic Jew cleansing of 10,000 peaceful, hard working Jews from Gaza. Since that time, THOUSANDS MORE ROCKETS ON ISRAELI COMMUNITIES. Islamo Fascists wage war on Israel and DEMAND Israel supply them with all their needs. 56 Muslim nations. 22 HUGE OIL WEALTHY ARAB NATIONS. More than enough oil money and land for Palestinian Authority Muslims.
22. # 13
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.05.09)
Saleem ! After Israel left Gaza, Why do you fire qasams on Israel ?.Why don't you free Gilad Shalit ? To attack Israel is more important to you than to feed your families,Islam and logic are not compatible.
23. support terror & pay the price
zionist forever   (07.05.09)
Construction materials can be used to make weapons & line smuggling tunnels to make it harder to destroy them. Fertilizer can be used to make explosives. Fuel can be used to power rockets and power vehicles used to transport terrorists and their . weapons around. The only thing they ever use tires for is setting fire to them. If the Red Cross is so concerned about the siege of Gaza why didn't their report include the fact that Egypt has kept Raffah closed just as long as Israel kept its borders closed & unlike Israel Egypt lets fewer good in through Raffah? They might want to also make a note of the fact last time food was sent in Hamas took it to sell on the black market. No terror groups Hamas, Fatah. Hizbullah even Al Quaida can survive without support from the streets. If the palestinians on the street said we want to see an end to Hamas. We want them to destroy their weapons then they would have no choice, suddenly they would find themselves wanted criminals no longer revolutionry heros. The palestinians need to learn end support for Hamas & all other terror groups there will be both physical and political rewards. Keep these groups alive and operational then there is a price to pay.
