1. Nice start
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.27.13)
Now the Egypt has also closed the Rafia Crossing with no plans to ever re-open is really going to put a kink in Hamas plans
2. I expect
(10.27.13)
I expect Erdogan to immediately condemn Egypt and send Hamas supporters to break the Egyptian blockade. The again, maybe Erdogan is afraid of the Egyptians?
3. From todays South African Press about a free Bargouth campai
Alan ,   SA   (10.27.13)
"Barghouthi has been in an Israeli jail since 2002 where he is serving five life sentences for his role in the fight for liberation in Palestine" Not a word about his being sentenced for MURDER.. Needless to say Tutu is leading the show
4. Where is the UN and the UNHRC?
solomon ,   bklyn   (10.27.13)
If Israel would have been involved, they would already be castigating Israel. Kol hakavod Mitzrayim!
5. O boo hoo hoo I broke my nail
Kapllutzik   (10.27.13)
Whingers and whiners
6. we need more international donations to compensate
zionist forever   (10.27.13)
Abbas is always moaning he doesn't have enough money to pay all the PA staff despite the fact that all the prisoners in Israeli jails get a salary from the PA and the relatives of dead martyrs get paid money. Maybe Hamas are in the same situation and they will say we need money and the world will be cuing up to give them money. In future if they want to build homes then international contractors should be the ones who do the job, they bring the material with them and take it away again. The locals should never be allowed near the stuff.
7. This is the price they pay for my UNSC, ICC, NATO demands
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (10.27.13)
8. Egypt
daz ,   uk   (10.27.13)
Egypt is no longer a sovereign state it's bought and paid for by the Saudis. This is all about weakening Iran's influence in the region. It makes Israel and Saudi Arabia strange bedfellows.
9. We appeal to Erdogan to show impartiality.Send MaviMarmara
(10.27.13)
10. Proper trade relations would fix that
Jo   (10.27.13)
Charge customs....tax....export etc , Egyptians will make a profit and so will Gazans ......each will pay vat to their respective authorities.....
11. #7 And Mr. David Clarke from Liverpool,
A ,   Belgium   (10.27.13)
who may have been the same Dave Clarke who played with his organ (and may still be playing with it) as a futile attempt to compete with another Liverpool music group, will probably blame me for writing this brilliant sentence. I didn't write it, wish I had, though.
12. If we keep 1 tunnel open it can benefit Israel
Zionist forever   (10.28.13)
We should keep one tunnel open because it can be used by illegal infiltraitors who are entering Israel from Egypt. Have a tunnel into Gaza that's nicly painted with a big sign up saying welcome to Gush Katif they will think they are entering Israel.
13. No flotillas or flytillas coming?
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.28.13)
Oh I forgot they knew they would be killed on the spot by the Egyptians and further on no Jews envolved to be bashed!
14. Hamas Crocodile Tears
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (10.28.13)
Which people on earth would permit Hamas to run Gaza the way they do? The Tunnels Economy is SELF IMPOSED. They know that normalisation of the borders means NO Tunnel Economy so an end to the PLUNDERING of Gaza by Hamas and the Tunnel Barons who make MILLIONS every week And now Tunnel Takings are down to a trickle....Mashaal is nowhere to be seen and Hamas show no interest in negotiating to open the borders with Israel and Egypt subject to Security Guarantees And meanwhile Gazans continues to suffer
