israel has all of the assets and abilities to dismantle hamas. everything but the will. maybe someday hamas will do something so terrible that israel will get angry and rip it apart. but does something horrible have to happen first??

how about u pay first for all the palestinian families who have lost members of their families since 1948 until this date. some families have been completely wiped out. remember the 10 year old huda this year, who have lost her parents and 5 siblings. we didn't hear any compensation from the criminal zionist government. and how about all the palestinians that were displaced all over the world because of your zionist occupation? when you pay up then you come and ask for what is yours. it's funny that u guys have the nerve to ask when all your governments and armies since 1948 are loaded with crime against humanity against the palestinian people, and the palestinian people haven't seen a penny. if you're asking that hamas should be dismantled, it's only right that the paletinian people should ask to dismatle the zionist regime that is loaded with crimes.

Actually Israel gave palestinian government Fatah, millions every month, up to the Hamas election. Most countries did. What did they do with that money? They seem to have no shortages of ammo and explosives, but food is a little short there I hear. Maybe they should go crying to jordan, weren't they exiled from there originally? Hamas seems to be a very inept government wouldn't you say so? Now they are attacking there unpaid civilian workers. Or it must of been the IDF in disguise on orders from Bush eh? Or do you say eh?

That's quite a creative version of history you've invented there, you must be highly regarded among your neo-nazi colleagues. Meanwhile, back in reality, all those Palestinian casualties and hardships of which you speak can be fully attributed to the very same terrorists responsible for the Israeli losses. It's palin and simple - if the arabs laid down their arms there would be no more wars. If the jews laid down their arms there would be no more Israel. Now off you go, don't keep your hitler-youth buddies waiting...

what did the jews do with it? Kill people, steal land , comeone tell us.

Firstly, everyone knows that when Palestinians die they go directly to paradise and receive 70 vigins. so what if the "Zionist" killed Arabs -- they were doing you a favor, getting many of you into a good situation you might never have earned on your own. You should be thanking the Jews for getting so many of you into paradise and scoring all that young action for you. Secondly, an Israei Court has ruled that Hamas must pay, so its time to stop parading around in ski masks, and holding rallies and firing your fag pipe bombs at Sderot and pay up!!!!! With interest!!!! Thirdly, please stop burning down your fellow Palestinians' Churches or they will sue you as well. Finally, heard Suah got re-married. A rolling stone gathers no moss.

The State of Israel is not a "criminal Zionist regime." That is Palestinian propaganda and anti-Semitism calling Israel a "criminal Zionist regime." A Zionist is a person that loves and supports Israel. There is nothing criminal about that. Israel is a modern democratic country not a “regime.” Also, Israel has fought the Palestinians and other Arabs due to either being attack or having terrorism waged against it's population (hence the killings that are reported in this article). Please stop reporting inaccurate information and recycling the same hate and Jew-hating that the Palestinian schools and media promote. Arabs would do well to learn accept the Jewish people and Israel, stop preaching hate and stop committing terrorist acts. Arab violence against the Jews occurred well before the declaration of Israel’s independence and the creation of the State of Israel.

Israel will not allow because if they do, then they will have NOTHING TO COVER UP FOR THE CORUPTION, AND MAFIA LIKE STYLE OF GOVERANCE. iSRAELI GOV. (M.K) ARE THE MOST CURPT SELFISH SELF CENTERED BUCH OF DEBASED AND UNDEMOCRATIC SYSTEM. THEY HAVE LEARN TO PUNISH PEOPLE FOR SPEAKING OUT ( LIKE "DISRESPECTICTING OFFICIALS") YET THEY RAPE AND PILLAGE THE SOCITY WITH WHATEVER MEANS POSSIBLE. THEY GET 3 BILLION $ FROM US AND YET DURING WAR THEY DONT HAVE WATER, BULLTES FOR ITS SOLIDRIES. YOU CALL THIS ZION? I CALL HIGHWAY ROBERY WITH A SLOGANS THAT PALYES ON PEOPLS EMPTIONS. VERY MUCH LIKE PARIMID MARKETING THAT IS OUT LAWED IN US. JEWS HAVE TO WAKE UP AND STOP DREAMING ABOUT STRONG ISRAEL. ISRAEL IS RUNED BY BUCH OF MOBSTERS AND THAT BEND LIKE PROSTITUEDS TO US. NO SELF RESPECT. AS LONG LONG AS THEY STEAL, PILLAGE, RAPE THE WEAK.. jEWS WAKE UP

Where to start, how about building factories, medicinal advances, technology sectors, building infrastructure, social programs, transportation, establish government policies, and of course provide protection to there citizens, which does include arabs. Which also is a lot better protection than the PA can provide a jew. So in approx 50-55 years they did more or just as much as all ME countries combined. Was it Israel that declared war when they first got sovereignty, or was it Israel that declared war in 67. Are you that stupid, as for stealing land, smarten up, victors of war always redraw there boundaries, and Israel does more productive work with its lands while the arab countries don't even pay there salaries or feed there people, Also compared to US spending, billions aint that much. and there is a reason they give them so much, it's too protect themselves the US, saw the rise of Islam in the early 1900's and Israel is the first line of defence against it. Open your eyes if they aren't covered with a turban or ski mask.

Your IGNORANCE is embarassing, Canadians are educated people, you on the other hand are obviously and exception to that rule. Shame on you .

did hamas followed Gavish family and killed them somewhere in Europe, America or whereever they came from, or it's Gavish family and other families and zionists came to Palestine and killed and departed it's people by force and took their land? Hamas is using force only in Palestine, and whoever went to that land to settle on it is the real terrorist.

the real Criminals of the Area are the zionists who took Palestine land from the original people, and brought other people to it. not only that, they killed thousands of people all over the place, in Egypt, Palestine, Syria, lebanon.. Tens of thousands, and they should pay for evey family who lost someone, and for everything they destroyed.. this should happen so Israel will go deep in dept and above all they should pay also for the ones who were forced to leave their homes, and they should return those to their land.

The land is Israel's get used to it. And Israel will get this money from the Germans after they are compensated from the ww2 atrocities. Then the Japs can reimburse all the koreans and chinese, the germans can pay the french, dutch, and english. China and NK can pay for the Canadians and Americans in the korean war. This can go on and on and on. The world is tired of hearing the poor palestine argument, you guys were giving millions in funds, yet your hungry with little infrastructure, stop trying to fight something that is already there, accept it, unless your going to take over, all of europe, Israel, Russia, Japan, Australia, China, and all of North America, your never going to get rid of Israel, so smarten up and put your time, money and effort into establishing a peaceful prosperoous country. Be a leader and not a sheep. I would like to turn the news on one day and read about some scientific or medical advancement from palestine, hearing about gunshots, bombs, kidnapped tourists, protests and suicide bombers is tiresome, do something productive for your people and country, and contrary to your popular belief, attacking jews is not productive.

Not the Zionists but yourselves for not educating your people and having the ability to think for yourselves, your inability to do that is truley your crime not anyone elses... YOURS. To explain this to you and most others from the Middle East is really a waste of time as you JUST Do Not Get It , It's like trying to explain the theory of relitivity to a child . Rabi do you get it ? I assume you do not but as with most CHILDREN we always hold onto hope wishing the best for them. But what has to be remembered is there is always a line that can be crossed and we will lose ALL TOLERANCE for ingorant self centered kids with Twisted attitudes. Trust me when I say we are getting Very close to that Line. Have a good day (educate and think for yourself )

You poor poor misguided Child, Please think for yourself and PLEASE educate yourself.

Again pretending to be something that they are not eh. A Muslim would not lie, cheat or decive would they. Hummm a wolf in sheeps clothing another one caught. ohh what should be done to a liar and a cheat what would be a good punishment for that person ?

make me wonder what happens in Canada. Anyways, it is a legitimate claim then again. When one talks about Hamas in such a way I dont think I have to say more.

coalition. Get your facts straight, read some real history not nazi Hamas propaganda.

indeed the terrorist entity. They have gone into a place that is not really palestinian, it is moreso Jewish. Read the history books.

Jordan. This is laughable. Look at how the Palestinian Authority and now Hamas act in Bethlehem. Are you personally going to pay for all the christians that have been cleansed from Bethlehem.

I am ashamed of you as a Canadian. Spewing such irrational hate represents an adiiction to hate. Ultimately, it is a waste of time and energy to hate so viciously. Please, if you do this again, next time don't identify yourself as a Canadian -- you do not represent our Canadian values.

"Zionists who took Palestine land from the original people.." spare us the same twisted lies that we keep hearing. The world is familiar with the history of Israel. You can't change it. The Jews are the original people. Palestine was never an Arab State. The Jews are tied up to Israel for over 5767 years, you can't erase that! so stop with your filthy propaganda. It's the Arabs who are occupying Jewish land and not the other way around. Arabs killed Jews well before the establishment of the State of Israel. Arabs are great at playing the victims. Seems to be an epidemic. Look around the world. Arabs/Islamists kill and then cry and whine. Don't call yourself a rabbi. You are dirtying this word by using it. Get used to it. ISRAEL WILL PREVAIL

Did they forget that Israel is holding millions from the PA (aka Hamas) and can merely deduct the 21 million? Hamas did not even try to appeal - but wait, the can't - they don't recognize Israel.

If all these "victims" feel they are due some payment they should sue in a court of law. Don't forget Arafat refused to have a Palestinian country, so they'll have to find a country somewhere. They could go to Lebanon - oh wait, Palestinians are not citizens there. Maybe Egypt - no, they are not citizens there either. How about Syria - nope, they live in "camps" there too. Maybe Kuwait - nope, all got the boot in 92. England or the US? Hmmmm, maybe they should recognize Israel, make peace and start their own country - oh never mind.

Perhaps it is a fantasy?

It's such a facile thing to do - to accuse Sara of producing a "creative version of history" and then to refer to her "neo-Nazi" colleagues. Perhaps you should go and read Benny Morris or any number of contemporary israeli historians who have documented the emptying of the land, the transfer to property and assets to Jewish ownership, and the various "demographic" campaigns to keep the indigenous inhabitants out - such as the infamous "ne'edarim nokhakhim" concept. You might disagree with Sara's conclusions - but to distill her thoughtful remarks down to your level is simply insulting, unacademic and delusional. I believe you owe her an apology.

Actually, your wonderful Canadian government runs many programmes giving aid to the third world, setting up arid region programmes to improve agriculture, and, yes - wait for it - even offering development aid to Palestinians - yes, those people who you would like to think do not exist. Irrational, isn't it, for a government to aid a people who don't exist? The reason for the Canadian government aid for Palestinian development is precisely for the reasons which Sara #2 stated. They have been chucked off their land, seen their assets illegally transferred to Jewish ownership through some shady quasi-legal dealings with the KKL. I would say, all in all, that Sara is a much better representative of the Canadian government's humanitarian spirit than you are with your petty, vile and ignorant note to Sara.
