1. showing support for Hamas is not a peaceful act
DOV ,   USA   (12.31.09)
Everyone please get on the internet and read the Hamas charter.
2. Not peace activists
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (12.31.09)
"These are peace activists – what harm can they do?" 1/ Obviously these people are not peace activists but pro-palestinian activists, which is not the same. 2/ To show support for a terrorist government which will use their activism as propaganda, is not usefull for peace. it is harmfull for the cause they say they support.
3. Peace Activistas
J.K. ,   Brooklyn Usa   (12.31.09)
Will they bring back with them Gilad Shalit ?.
4. She never intervenes to release from jail human rights
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (12.31.09)
activists in Egypt. She never intervenes in favor of democracy in Egypt to remove her husband the dictator from power and not have her son Gamal (Camel) be next President in rigged elections She never intervenes to protect the oppressed native Copts from the discrimination they suffer at the hands of Muslims in Egypt She never intervenes........... Yet she intervenes when her husband the dictator wants her to Lieberman was right about everything he said of Mubarak
5. ms. owen, the activist
(12.31.09)
i wonder, ms. owen, since you are so concerned about the fate of the oppressed people around the glob, you and your organization NEVER MANAGED TO SET FOOT OR SHOW CONCERN WITH RUWANDA, CONGO, SRI LANKA, IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT, SYRIA, NIGER, LYBIA, YEMEN, TIBET, CHINA, CHECHNIA, ETC... are you, ms. owen, aware that there are a million murdered, maimed, raped and beheaded in ruwanda, the congo and in sri lanka??? do you know how many refugees are in all these countries, how many minorities that are oppressed, killed, beheaded and murdered or raped? do you know how many reformists, journalists, etc... sit in dungeons in arab countries awaiting death sentences for daring to speak against the regimes? do you know how many lesbians, teenagers and reformists as well as homosexuals iran has hung in the public square? do you know how many innocent intelligentsia languish in jail for eternity because they are ressistors to tyrany and opression??? you, ms. owen, have no shame, have no principles and have zero honesty. zero. when you show the same concern to others in much dire circumstances as you show to the biggests propaganda machine (the gaza palestinians) in the world. then, MAY BE WE CAN ALL TAKE YOUR CLAIMS AND INTENTIONS SERIOUSLY. UNTIL YOU SHOW SUCH EQUAL CONCERN TO ALL THE REPRESSED, YOU ARE NO MORE THAN A PALESTINIAN PROPAGANDA MOUTHPIECE. THAT IS ALL. hameed aboughaze, iranian
6. There should be no letup in siege with the enemy
Bernard Ross ,   st anns bay, jamaica   (12.31.09)
It was a mistake to leave gaza as now anything can go through egyptian border as they see fit. The gazan enemy should be liquidated until they cease all threats to israelis. I was hoping the galloway group would starve in a hunger strike
7. whan to be activits?
jam ,   eilat   (12.31.09)
take them to egypt .billd tham acity . israel can help to bring all there frineds . and to hlp tham to construct abutiful life in egypt . this road can to prevent problem for all side's . we want blasse them with succses in your contry
8. Egypt cannot be trusted.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (12.31.09)
Egypt is a one sided Arab supporter and should not be trusted. Even today, after all these years of “peace”, Egypt is still the world center of anti-Israeli incitement. It has huge militairy expenses while its generals admit that the enemy is Israel. There is no doubt that in case of a general conflict in the Middle-East Egypt will fight in the camp of the enemies of Israel. Differences between Israel and Arabs cannot be brokered by an Arab country. The solution to the Middle-East conflict is described at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8
9. egypt wants to built a wall and in the same time they
ghostq   (12.31.09)
give the messes pali propeganda, that duality is very typical for Arab and Egypt behavior.
10. How these silly pawn are being played with by the Egyptians
Izraeli Israeli   (12.31.09)
They are propably stupid Euros who don't know anything about the Arab world. Can't they see the irony of being helped by the wife of the Dictator who is building an iron wall to keep the Gazans out of Egypt? Instead of helping euros get into Gaza, maybe she should be helping to get her brethren (Gazans) into Egypt, and improving their living conditions? As if she really cares about the Gazans! what a Joke. She just likes the "lets trash Israel" crowd to make her look good. That's why we don't take euro "human rights activists" seriously; always sucking up to tyrants and collaborating with dictatorships.
11. to #5 as alway you right
ghostq   (12.31.09)
the only reason owens do what she does is to get free publicity cause in the other cases none cares due to the fact they r not Arabs, but in this case since all those activists got personal issues and strong nead for attention cause they had traumatic childhood or problems at home or that they went though a nervous break down in their lives and by this they think they can cure themselves.
12. Hey let her pose naked like Sarkozy's wife if she REALLY
steve ,   Haifa   (12.31.09)
Hey let her pose naked like Sarkozy's wife if she REALLY wants to help them!
13. Hameed, I wish we could do more to help
Izraeli Israeli   (12.31.09)
the brave oppressed people of Iran. It's such a shame that the world is so cowardly, upside down and MAD these days! What is happening in Iran is a black stain on the free world and will never be erased!! Your comment should be a loud wakeup call to all the fake Human rights crowd and should be published in all the news papers and blogs. Bravo! Carter and all the tyrant huggers will rot in hell.
14. 5..HAMEED- EXCELLENT- OWENS TARGETS DEMOCRACIES
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (12.31.09)
#5..HAMEED , YOU WROTE A MEANINGFUL AND ECXELLENT INFORMATIVE ARTICLE HERE ON YNET.. HAMEED STATED ABOUT THIS ABOUT MS. OWENS, " THE HUMAN RIGHTS ACTIVIST "....... MS. OWENS " SHE " NEVER MANAGED TO SET FOOT OR SHOW CONCERN WITH RUWANDA, CONGO, SRI LANKA, IRAN, SAUDI ARABIA, EGYPT, SYRIA, NIGER, LYBIA, YEMEN, TIBET, CHINA, CHECHNIA, ETC... " MILLIONS DIE, WERE KILLED, MILLIONS ARE REFUGEES BUT ........ MS.OWENS IS VERY SELECTIVE ABOUT WHO SHE TAKES ON AS " CLIENTS ", ......SHE DOES NOT TAKE ON JUST ANYBODY. SHE TAKES ON THE ONES THAT WILL ALLOW HER THE EXPOSURE, BUT ALSO ONES THAT SHE HAS NO REAL RISK OF BEING HARMED. WE CAN ALL DRAW THE CONCLUSION THAT SHE IS AN OPPURTUNIST AND ONLY CHOOSES THE " HUMAN RIGHTS " OF SOME PEOPLE OVER THE HUMAN RIGHTS OF OTHERS............ SHE IS AS HER RECORD REVEALS , AN UNDEMOCRATIC ACTIVIST. PERHAPS SHE IS ALSO A " PAID EXCLUSIVE ACTIVIST OR AGENT FOR THE " BEST PAYING CAUSES ". THE ARABS AND MUSLIMS CAN PAY HER OFF AND BUY HER LIKE THEY DID WITH X-PRES. CARTER. THEY OWN CARTER, AN X-PRES, WHY NOT ABLE TO DO THE SAME WITH MS. OWENS. THIS IS A SHOW AND A FARCE AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY " HUMANE " CAUSE.
15. SADAT, THE MUBAREKS ...THE SAME CLOTH
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (12.31.09)
SADAT, MUBAREK ATTACKED ISRAEL ON YOM KIPPUR. THEY MEANT TO WIN A WAR AND LOST !! SADAT WAS SLY ENOUGH TO KNOW WHAT TO DO, AND ISRAEL WELCOMED HIM WITH OPEN ARMS BECAUSE NO ARAB LEADER EVER TRIED THIS BEFORE..........TO TALK ABOUT PEACE. ISRAEL, WEARY OF WARS AND FIGHTING WERE SO EXCITED TO MAKE PEACE WITH EGYPT THE ARAB COUNTRY. I DON'T TRUST ANY OF THESE ARAB LEADERS. SADAT WAS KILLED SO WE WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIS NEXT MOVES WOULD HAVE BEEN AND WHAT HE HAD UP HIS SLEEVES. ISRAEL, DON'T TRUST EGYPT..........THEY DID SURPRISE YOU AND ATTACKED YOU MORE THAN ONCE.
16. Egypt, the 'Malediction' of the M.E.
Jojo ,   PRT WASH NY   (12.31.09)
with or without the Mubaraks.-- hameed aboughaze,# 5, you are remarkably accurate in your synopsis of the neighborhood. This ms owen represents the best (at least one of the best),the forces of evil have been able to muster against free people, against democracy. The total disregard she displays toward the crucifixion of her beloved 'brothers' languishing in the donjons of the countries you mentioned is proof enough of her desire to please her new 'patrons'..The philosophy, the charter of hamas, is a replica of their infamous koran who " dictates" to the believers to subdue, kill, maim, torture, in other words, to eradicate all, in order for us to plant one flag on the surface of the earth -- islam ! Suzanne Mubarak's help is a" nudge" in the right direction, they hope, in vain....!
17. Egypt blockades Gaza for its own interests
DaveB ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (12.31.09)
"Owens blames Jerusalem for Egypt's refusal to grant permission. "It's obvious that the only reason for it is to make Israel happy. Israel is behind the refusal – what other excuse could there be?" - duh Ms Owen....maybe the Egyptian blockade of Gaza along the Rafah border is in Egypt's interests and of course it's always so convenient to blame Israel ? ..what twisted manipulative thinking and behaviour by Owen and her crowd.
18. Duh DAVEB
Resistor   (12.31.09)
I agree with Ms Owen and so do millions of others in the world. You are doing the jewish thing DaveB and sticking your head into the Kfar Saba sand, and hoping that when you pull it out, everyone will love you and think your actions totally acceptible and innocent. Well they are not DaveB-you and your kind are guilty, guilty, guilty!!!
19. #14
Resistor   (12.31.09)
Abaraham ben Jacob (the man with 3 first names), Hameed #5 and yourself, seem to think there is a humanities problem in Tibet. You are wrong. The Tibetans today are a happy and prosperous group who enjoy many of the things that you and I enjoy-including religious rights and freedoms. It is the Delai Lama who from outside, decides which brands of Buhdism may or may not be practiced. It is the DL's clique that destroys temples and monks who don't conform-not Beijing.
20. How nice she is. Most wives would not suport the terrorists
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.31.09)
(ham-ass) that have a 100% affinity for the muslum "brotherhood" that is trying to kill her husband and make her country even more backward. Some women are just absolutely brilliant but she has the very rare quality of being kind to the people who support the people who want to kill her husband. May her kindness NOT be rewarded, as bad as moobarak is, the muslum "brotherhood" would be 100 times worse.
21. Hello Genuine Tosefta
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (12.31.09)
Thanks for highlighting the selective human rights focus by Mrs Mubarak. Another example - in an interview with Al Ahram a year ago, she dismisses a report by The Egyptian Center for Women's' Rights that showed nearly two-thirds of Egyptian men sexually harassed women! With that kind of mind-set, it is no wonder that she would intervene. Anyway, it's good to see you here again :-) Have a Happy and Blessed New Year!
22. Activists into Gaza
Bruria   (12.31.09)
Same old tired idiot rantings. Women in all the surrounding countries are being beaten, stoned, subjected to female genital mutilation, have no rights to even thing--why does she not cry out on behalf of them? Could it be that it is easier to blame Israel than see the truth? If she was not a useful tool to Hamas they would put a sack over her head and toss her to the curb--or behead her. One thing for sure, she would not be allowed to criticize them!
23. Puke.
Brad ,   USA   (12.31.09)
Peace activist, def., Lemming personality, with too much money, too much time on their hands, and no brain.
24. do the world a favor
Lisa   (12.31.09)
do the world a favor- keep the activists in Gaza- what a bunch of dodos... misguided academics and bleeding hearts- the poor first lady had to work hard- best joke today. Can you believe one of the woman in the group was going to make a PhD thesis on this? Must come right after basket weaving!
25. Gaza Strip
Mike Shaffer ,   Prescott Az U.S.A.   (12.31.09)
Every Arab in the Gaza Strip is a trespasser. King David took it from the Philistines 2000 years ago, and it belongs to Israel.
26. "Israel is behind the refusal,what other excuse could it be?
William ,   Israel   (12.31.09)
A typical Arab logic response. "If Israel benefits even one bit from a situation, they must be behind it." Here are many reasons why Egypt is blocking your circus into Gaza: 1) Your charade gives Hamas, the terrorist group there, legitimacy, when even "palestinian" legislative law has taken it away. 2) It emboldens Hamas, which is tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist group that Egypt is battling itself. 3) It embarrasses Egypt who is trying to stop the illegal smuggling into Gaza which causes both criminals and terrorist groups to travel to Sinai. A problem Egypt DOES NOT need! 4) The blockade is also part of the ceasefire that is supported by world govts. Humanitarian aid, medicine, petrol, and electricity all enter Gaza - though these same "poor women" you focus on are those who must pay Hamas for the free humanitarian aid. 5) Letting a bunch of Eruo-loonies into the Strip only invites more media-whores to the area, creating problems for everyone - especially when other regions of the world where women die get none. 6) Giving Hamas legitimacy makes them less likely to reconcile with Fatah, which means more fighting and more oppression by Hamas - even your women. 7) Egypt knows you lie and will go to NW Gaza where the poor are, avoiding the bustling city centers where Gazans are doing very well. It seems you're just a racist, Ms. Owens - what other excuse could it be?
