1. Don't be fooled by Morsi
Israeli Texan   (08.13.12)
He is 'closing' the border crossing so the west will relax and continue their funding to Egypt. Behind the scenes he is probably supplying Hamas with weaponry using the tunnels already built. Do not distinguish between MB and Hamas! Don't believe me? Look at the best friend Haniyeh and his bud Morsi in the pic above....
2. No Matter WHO Rules eygpt hamas Won't Like
(08.13.12)
Because You (hamas) Are Red Headed step children And Nobody wants you people your a plague no matter were you Squat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. CUTE Morsi is slowly conquering Egypt.
Iranian Hunter   (08.13.12)
Can't Hamas be patient ? It is obvious the CUTE and FAT Morsi is taking over Egypt slowly but surely. Now the real question is, will the mamluk guards make a little "accident", or will they let him takes power because they know they can't win against MB and their "obviously not bribed thugs". I'm betting that CUTE Morsi will conquer Egypt. MB has conquered Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Turkey (same party, called Justice and Development), and...... surprise !! probably USA.
4. I think the time has come ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.13.12)
... to cut our excessive humanitarian generosity to Gaza. No more electricity. No more fresh water. No more tens of thousands of humanitarian aid trucked in on a weekly basis. No more entry into Israel for ANY reason, including medical attention. Hamas' good friends the Moslem Brotherhood can pick up the slack. Oops. Oh well. I guess the honeymoon is over. Too bad for Gaza. Just because their very own Arab brethren and co-religionists have turned their backs on them doesn't mean that Israel has to provide them with free everything. Maybe Hamas can start firing missiles into Egypt. Perhaps that will get their attention and arouse their sympathy.
5. Hamas' Pain?
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (08.13.12)
Looks like Hamas has forgotten the pain They have imposed on peace loving Palestinians.
6. palestine a top priority?
Malone ,   Hfx   (08.13.12)
These pals are unbelievable.. Violent,non productive no name terrorists have the nerve to demand recognition as a "top priority"? In their own minds maybe....to most,they're simply a pain in the ass. Professional beggars.
7. Haniyeh towering over Morsi ? Ouch,short people don't like i

8. oh please....
Gabriel ,   Leiden, Netherlands   (08.13.12)
Israel imposed a blockade, Mubarak did the same, and now their ideological allies are following in that example. Any sane person should ask the following question here: ''could it perhaps be me?'' At best Hamas has no control over proceedings in the Strip. At worst (somewhat more likely) they either encourage or mastermind the terror attacks themselves. Aren't they a loveable bunch. I am quite frankly sick and tired of these Arab crybabies. Everything they mess up (which is, indeed, everything) is anothers fault: America, Israel and the West in general. There's no shred of responsibility to be found, no talent, no initiative, no civil society and I could go on. Their culture perpetuates these conditions and even encourage them. Bottom line: absolutely no contribution to humanity from the Arab world. None whatsoever. The Persian culture is somewhat different, but see what they're at now. . Happy to be Jewish really.
9. Egypt is Gaza now
Israel should ,   close the crossings   (08.13.12)
10. HANIYEH ALL THE SAME
jimmy   (08.13.12)
haniyeh's sister shows up in israel with her husband to save his life in israeli hospital. Israel fuel and food stuffs go daily to gaza. haniyeh thanks israel by saying it should be destroyed and fires rockets. Haniyeh permits and arms global jihad who enter gaza and kill 16 egyptian soldiers and hamas demands that rafah border be opened. This is too funny by half. and what do arabs do best? They kill each other and love it. In iraq, syria, sinai, gaza, west bank, all over the place, they kill each other which is exactly what they would do to israelis. Its not only arabs. Look at the illegal entity of kameinei which should be destroyed.He kills his nadas, tortures the rest, sends in basigi and hezbollah to kill ordinary syrians, uses russian fuel air munitions to damage and frighten the populations. The arabs are suspicious of the iranians and vice versa. And even turkey who are non arabs still deal in lies and street populism to control the people like dogs. Even morsi must be wondering who are these filth in gaza who are less than the lowest??!!
11. He forgot one
Corey ,   Canada   (08.13.12)
"The Egyptian leadership is requested to order the reopening of the Rafah crossing to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians wanting to travel, students, patients, residents in third countries and pilgrims," he added in a statement. He forgot terrorists.
12. Well -Well
Paul ,   South Africa   (08.13.12)
Seems like nobody likes Palestinians, even their own brothers.
13. Nobody can trust Morsi
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (08.13.12)
A pattern is emerging.First Tantawi was reappointed and treated like Morsi's ally,days later he's on the scrap-heap.One day Morsi smiles and shakes Haniyeh's hand and treats him and Hamas as allies,days later Gaza is blockaded on Morsi's orders. If this is the way that Morsi treats his natural allies,nobody,especially the Us administration and the Israel government,can trust him.He has the ability to look a person in the eye,smiling,and intend exactly the opposite to what he says. Just like Yasser Arafat,in fact. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
14. #13 A good liar is highly respected
A ,   Belgium   (08.13.12)
in moslem society. Thus was the pedo Arafat able to fool the whole world and get a Nobel PEACE prize out of it. Abbas, unfortunately, apparently doesnt have this talent, which is why the "palestinian" demand for statehood should be noted on a long piece of toilet paper, for thats the best purpose it can serve. Morsi is putting on a pretty good show, though, he is a talented liar.
15. Facts
Tom Sahlbak ,   Nashville USA   (08.13.12)
Muslim Brotherhood : 1. Created Hamas 2. Present leader of Al Qaeda Doctor Zawahiri is a founder of MB. 3. Are the very people who assasinated Anwar Sadat. 4. Is a muderous Islamic terrorist organization that wants to turn the earth into a 7th Century Islamic sewer. 5. Is the worst poison on earth who thrives on stealing and murder.
16. Haniyeh, now you're making me sad.
Iranian Hunter   (08.13.12)
Come on man, keep spouting that "we will conquer al quds" propaganda. And hey bro, how is Syria ? is it true your Best Friend Forever Assad are killing "TROO MOOSLEEM" in Syria ? Now that makes me confuse Haniyeh, they told me Aisha is a whore. But you told me AIsha is a good woman.
17. Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.13.12)
When Israel concluded its treaty with Egypt, Israel gave Sinai to Egypt and also tried to give Gaza to Egypt. Egypt cleverly refused, and left Israel with the pain of Gaza. Even the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood know enough not to trust Hamas. Will the new flotilla take any notice of that? Unlikely.
18. YOU GO HANIYEH!!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (08.14.12)
You show them who is the boss? Why not attack and send rockets to Egypt? If you consider yourself so powerful. Egypt does nto want you becuase they know how much trouble you are. Stop the crazy talk and give the keys to Morsi, Baba. That is teh best thing you can do for your people.
19. TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE
ZIMBI ,   NJUSA   (08.14.12)
20. Stop the Egyptian blockade of Gaza!!!!!111one
Henry from New York ,   USA   (08.14.12)
