1. Phoey on that...

Me thinks hamas chose to lead its people down this path to misery and that the UN shows its colors when they suggest the fix is in giving hamas just what it wants...i.e. an oportunity to freely import yet more weaponry
2. Gaza Refugee Hardship Dubai huge Buildings and Casinos

3. Why treat Gaza differently???
Yitzi ,   Bet Shemesh   (08.19.14)
In WWII Germany and Japan were bombed into submission. It's a known fact of warfare that until the population feels enough pain the leadership will have permission to continue. Until the people of Gaza feel ENOUGH PAIN they will not stop their leaders from their hopeless, self destructive path.
4. Why rehabilitate Gaza? In Aug 2005 PM Sharon handed over the
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.19.14)
Gaza strip including the most sophisticated greenhouses to the Arabs on a silver platter only to have these greenhouses destroyed by them. Why bother rehabilitating the strip? The only thing they do with their money is build rockets and tunnels.
5. actually no
(08.19.14)
With the amount of money pumped into Gaza by the International community since the destruction of Gush Katif, the Gazans should be the richest people on earth, but that is not what happened. When Fatah ruled, all that money went into the pockets of Fatah leaders and Western aid workers. When Hamas ruled, all that money went to weapons. The same will happen now with the Obama-imposed Hamas victory: in the next round Hamas will arm with more accurate rockets and place many more booby traps to kill more Arab civilians. Nothing will change until Hamas and Fatah are destroyed, the Western aid workers are evicted and the Arab people are allowed to administer themselves.
6. About time they join rest of their Arab brethren in misery!

7. So what?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.19.14)
When the "palestinians" learn to behave like human beings, they will be treated like human beings. Notice how this Swiss national skirts neatly around the fact that the schools were being used as weapons storage facilities. Neglects to mention the fact that using U.N. schools in such a way completely violates the United Nations Charter and turns those schools into legitimate military targets. Of course, the operative word here is "Swiss." Weren't they the people that cheerfully accepted tons of gold wedding rings and dental gold and turned them into bars? All the while claiming neutrality? I really hate the Swiss.
8. Ain't Gonna Happen
Isaac Storm   (08.19.14)
Especially since the Shin Bet found out that Hamas was going to take over the PA.
9. Biased reporting.
Dov Katz ,   Pardes Hana, Israel   (08.19.14)
Why does Ynet make itself echo of blatant, biased reporting by reuters?
10. While their leaders sit in the lap of luxury
Nancy   (08.19.14)
7 Star hotel, private jets, Chauffeured limousines, its good to be a Hamas official
