1. Strong measures against illicit drug use
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.19.10)
and drug trafficking is sensible. In Israel and in western democratic countries it has been out-of-hand for many years. I don't blame Hamas officials in this instance.
2. gaza drug death sentences
moron ,   galut   (09.19.10)
no problem -drug loving progressives will still send funds to arabs because they hate the jews more--as with honor killings and gay persecutions left hates jews more than it cares for its stated beliefs
3. ANOTHER HAMAS REASON TO MURDER ITS PEOPLE
stude ham   (09.19.10)
israeli spy, drug dealer, collaborator, sexual deviant, political scum, petty thief, beggar, tunnel digger, insubordinate, money handler, and the list never stops... of course, they also murder innocent bystanders...
4. this is the one thing,we should learn from our enemies

5. Burning Viagra too? Most likely fake uppers anyway
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (09.19.10)
6. Gaza should be flooded with Porno, Aids, Drugs and Bikinis
Al   (09.19.10)
And all good things....Let them reap the benefits of what western society is trying so dearly to support them while at the same time undermining Israel.
7. no objection
mickey mouse ,   london   (09.19.10)
8. an excuse
Arie ,   BaGolan   (09.19.10)
Much like Lebanon kills off political dissidents by labeling them "Zionist spies," Hamas will kill of Christians, Gays, opponents, and "dishonorable women" by labeling them "drug pushers." I wonder if Haaretz had a hand in this spin?
9. What? No Hashish for suicide bombers?
Jayjay ,   Israel   (09.19.10)
10. good
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.19.10)
they should adopt all egyptian laws since gaza belongs to and will eventually go back to egypt when the peace process is over.
11. Drugs and their...
Moragh   (09.19.10)
... consequences. This is one time when I definitely agree with the Hamas. Death for the 'sellers' and a long, very long time in prison for the users. And frankly, I would like to see the rest of the world follow suit!
12. drugs are too complex for dictatorship
Roland ,   miami beach, USA   (09.19.10)
what they care about more than anything, is to have economic control of every human endeavour. Especially in medicine, but it branches out to transportation/fuel and education/media. Domestic violence is breakfast and dinner in Gaza so painkillers have got to be a snack food. They were famous for that always. Capital punishment for misdemeanour's and marital betrayal also made them famous. Camel jockey child slaves and paedophile brothels are still an institution in Gaza. Open sewage is the plumbing tradition passed down from father to son. There are no 4th world countries, yet but Gaza is 3.9.
13. It's all BS....
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (09.19.10)
Taking the hash out of Gaza is like taking the vodka out of Poland....it's part of their culture. Hamas action is simply eliminating the competition to monopolize their huge captive market. Fighting the ''war on drugs'' is not winnable... it does provide jobs however.. and keeps lots of folk busy. Check what DEA veterans have to say about it on youtube.
14. "import of drugs makes society "inhuman."
William ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
No, being oppressed and beaten by an ideological Islamist terrorist group will make you "inhuman", as we've seen in Gaza, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, etc.
15. I hope Hamas is planning to jail flotilla activists
William ,   Israel   (09.20.10)
After all, they are bringing crates of drugs into the country, mostly expired and not of any real use.
16. Islamic drugs
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.20.10)
Another Islamic Taqiyah at play ; most of the worlds narcotics are to be found in Swat and Waziristan,the playgrounds of the Islamofascist Taliban where vast tracts of arable land are used to grow opium which is then sold in Europe and the USA and the money buys weapons for the Taliban etc. What a load of bulls- is this article ?
