31. 1,5 million more consumers.
Jonny ,   SA   (06.09.10)
Gee, 1.5 miilion more consumers. Next they will complain that they want discounted prices as the shekel is to strong against the ??? Was just a business move, why should Egypt get the business More people out of work, the tunnelers that is. Wonder if Condoms will be boycotted by the UN run administration.
32. home making different from making home but still forbidden
observer   (06.09.10)
Coriander, ginger, nutmeg, canned fruit, dried fruit, fresh meat, seeds and nuts. Dangerous items include fishing rods and rope, fabric, chicken hatcheries, chickens, donkeys, horses, goats, cattle are all dangerous weaponary banned by the Israeli siege on Gaza. Israel is blocking cement and steel necessary for re-building of heavily destroyed homes by Israel. Luckily, Israel imports irradiated Iranian pistachios, but block those going to Gaza. Now blocked also are Hummus & Falafel, those are WMD in the war between Israel & Lebanon
33. #23 Ahaaaaa !!! What's Funny !
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.09.10)
Now I know why there are not any explosive operations for a long time?!
34. soda is risk to israeli national security
yael ,   Tel Aviv   (06.09.10)
have you ever heard of soda and mentos bombs??
35. "Quite sick, eh"?
TheJewishWarrior ,   San Diego   (06.09.10)
Israel simply wants to put pressure on Hamas to stop the rocket fire and free Gilad Shalit. Under the laws of war, nations are allowed to blockade a territory, but Israel lets enough in to avert a humanitarian crisis.
36. #7 Jews may determine whether Gazans eat, live or die?
observer   (06.09.10)
37. Foolish assumptions
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.09.10)
As usual the same weak concessions, never accomplishing what was intended. Just another victory for the Jihadists. In the end the pressure will continue and Israel will give in more.
38. #29 Sorry, but the world is a jungle.
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (06.09.10)
Political blackmail is an integral part of the hypocrisy we are all part of.
39. #18, note the source of the information
Danny   (06.09.10)
about what was banned and you'll see why it is nonsense. As for what is actually banned - cement and iron, what possible military use do you think they could have?
40. blockade
guest ,   the netherlands   (06.09.10)
I was surprised to learn that Israel didn't allow in crayons for children and jam and chocolate and jiuce. Seems weird to me, what can Hamas do with the chocolate against Israel? The majority of people in Gaza are not Hamas terrorists! I hope this all will end well for both Israel and the Palestinians...
41. Hamas does not allow any aid in
Duchess   (06.09.10)
If he did then what would the people have to cry about?? They could grow their own food but instead they let land go to waste. As in the land they stole from Israel in 2005.
42. # 31
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.09.10)
They dont use condoms in Gaza thats why there is a population explosion there.
43. nr. 42
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (06.09.10)
there is still a population explotion going on in the whole, whide world going on (the show must go on!)
44. to nr. 7
sjoerd van der velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (06.09.10)
every government, everybody has to appease sometimes, people among eachother, a government to its people and to other governments vice versa(the other way around). aappeasement-policy means concession-policy, making compromises. nobody can always have what he/she wants. things can go another way/direction as was hoped for in life. how to adapt is also significant in life.
45. List of Items & date that permission was granted
Inhumanity at ,   its finest   (06.10.10)
