1. Gaza
john ,   toronto   (08.13.14)
Those who committed crimes in Gaza will be punished. PA has rule in West Bank that is enough for the time being.
2. Gaza needs to be in Israeli hands forever.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.13.14)
As horrid as Hamas is; the P.A. and Fatah are even worse. By every criteria. Gaza belongs to Israel. Gaza needs to be in Israeli hands forever.
3. Airport + Seaport in Egypt Al Arish
Sam Sweiry ,   england   (08.13.14)
instead of having airport and seaport in Gaza, why don't the Egyptian expend there facilities in El Arish to provide deeper encourage for Cargo Vessel and also expand the airport to take larger aircrafts ... Time for Egypt to start building to provide facilities for the Gazans
4. I don't trust the PA either...

...but at least they're a step up from Hamas. I'm willing to give it a try. But don't expect Hamas to just quietly step down. Unless a country like Iran is willing to take them in, they'll either stick around and continue to cause trouble or they'll join ISIS and...continue to cause trouble.
5. and Fatah is better???
expellee from Gaza ,   Israel   (08.13.14)
Didn't the mortars and rockets fired in Gaza at Gush Katif and S'derot begin several years BEFORE Hamas took over Gaza in 2007 - ie under Fatah control?
6. Wow, terrorism works!
James ,   USA   (08.13.14)
Ugh!
7. if the Egyptians want to unseat Hamas, perhaps they should..
Ozraeli ,   Australia   (08.13.14)
... go in militarily, & conquer the Strip themselves? I'm sure the IDF will "Hold the line" outside Gaza as the Egyptians flow in, unrestrained by the IDF's extreme morality. Also, it would be interesting to see if Hamas would redirect their prepositioned rockets to fire South or southwest.
8. above
moishe   (08.14.14)
so why doesn't Egypt go into Gaza to clean out Hamas and install a moderate government that will serve the people better. and cause less problems with its neighbors. I am sure world opinion would not mind this time. if something isn't done to reign in Moslem extremists then it will cause trouble beyond present borders of conflict.
