31. Take a rocket, aimed for Sderot and plug up the hole
Talula ,   Israel   (03.27.07)
Then invest money in a proper infrastracture and in bettering the lives of the Palestinian people. Leave arms, guns and rockets for nations who have nothing else to spend their money on.
32. Rember the stories where they used sewage pipes for kassams
(03.27.07)
33. #24 you are right but...?
Palestinian ,   West bank   (03.27.07)
You are right this is not a natural disaster and some of the balme can be directed to the Palestinian, but what about your governments. You seize their money, you have the final say what to to be entered to the territories, you cage them like animals and you weeken their government and at the same time you make fun of the tragedy and you expect them to act like civilazed human beings???? Not to mention the many years of this continuous occupation. I wonder how you would act if you were in the same position.
34. They blame and we help!
שילוה ,   ישראל   (03.27.07)

38. there are times All Politics need SHUT-UP
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul   (03.27.07)
the Body of the child when I see dead children, my soul get destroy in seconds. you afraid, your eyes become some wet, you start think about The God what kind of mentality The God has ? what kind of power He has ? He has created the most painfull things, and He also created most great things for human. is there any pain more than a child lose for parents ? SUCH A DEEP FEELINGS HAS BEEN CREATED BY THE GOD FOR HUMAN ! AND COME, NOT TO AFRAID OF HIM ! I dont have any explanation about His creation, But I love to think that everything is under his control. what else can you...? Human is selfish. Human cries because he afraids to lose his own, first. It is sure that He also feel too deeply sorry for others. The God must give some special feelings that to make people more stronger who lose their own. I havent met any death in my family yet, out of my grands ones. I dont know the feeling, yet. I am very much scare of it in deep of me, I hide the feeling mostly, but its out now. I am sorry for the family / families. I hope The God gives them the okey feelings for better. I HOPE NO ONE MEETS HIS/HER CHILDREN DEATH. it is too bad when they lose their life in bad condition instead of their bed (sleep). THERE ARE TIMES POLITICS ARE NEED SHUT-UPPPP THERE ARE TIMES TO HELP EACH OTHER. THERE ARE TIMES TO TRUST there are times to trust to trust and to share love Atilla Karagözoğlu
39. Palestinians never take responsibity!
Gary A. MD ,   Boston USA   (03.27.07)
No matter what happens to the Palestinians they always blame Israel. What a bunch of lazy corrupt officials. Hey Palestinians, you voted for the garbage Hamas, and now you must live with the results.
40. Arab interests
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (03.27.07)
They are more interested in financing mass murder and anarchy than an infrastructure to protect their kids.
41. To #16 The Arab
Reality Check ,   BaGolan   (03.27.07)
And of course you have proof of what you say? Didn;t think so!
42. why does he blame Israel ?
redkmike ,   tel aviv and london   (03.27.07)
Strange phenomenon ! Palestinians don't ever take responsibility for anything ? It's always somebody else's fault. It's hard to get more immature than that. However - it's a horrible way to die and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Not even my own worst enemy !
43. A shitty business but they choose violence so .....
David ,   Karmiel   (03.27.07)
Let them clean up their own crap. Why give "humanitarian" aid to those who rejoice in killing our kids and who bomb our town and settlemenys EVERY DAY? Give Condi and Solana a bucket and a mop to clean this mess up!
44. time for hand in hand !
(03.27.07)
give a hand hold a hand but we have to first give a chance to others to show their sadness for our lost. politics are okey for many things. but NOT OKEY on children. THEY SAY, THEY (Children) DONT BELONG TO YOU even you gave them birth. they belong to the soul of The Univerce All children are innocent. no politics no religions if you hurt them, they cry and leave you, because they are just children BUT THE DADDY ( The God) UP THERE !!!! CHILDREN RIGHTS RESERVED IN THE GOD. it means new format for memories into the play gardens of Heaven I know everyone loves children. ---------- in middle east, many children get killed....THE BOMBS, THE BELTS, THE BUSES, THE HOUSES... I wonder how the families handle to lose their children in terrorizm terrorizm terror deaths children losing hopes destroying souls cries how to heal the hurted hearts ? love Atilla Karagözoğlu
45. Sure, blame Israel
JJG ,   Brookline, MA, USA   (03.27.07)
This happened because the "Palestinians" are using tubing that was meant for sewage infrastructure, to build their Kassam rockets instead. No sympathy!
46. why?
vinny ,   opinion.inc   (03.27.07)
The true reasons for this disaster are: 1. irresponsible arab ministers who blame others for their incompetence. 2. corrupt officials who steal from international aid funds. 3. a culture of hate who is incapable of building anything other than weapons, and can only destroy. 4. a religion of ignorance. 5. a tridition of polution.....
47. to # 15
jan ,   USA   (03.27.07)
How soon YOU have forgotten. It was the Pals that voted in Hamas, not the Israelis. So now YOU must eat of the fruits of YOUR sowing. If anyone is pathetic here it is the Pals. thinking that terrorist groups and their leaders really care about their own. And how about ALL the money other Arab countries like Iran and Syria have been giving to hamas. What did YOUR leaders do with it? They spent it on weapons you moron. So I think YOU need to look into the mirror and see the one looking back at YOU as the one who is to stupid and pathetic to know the truth, instead of blaming your demise all the time on the Israelis.
48. Sewage tsunami
cj ,   usa   (03.27.07)
Now we know where hamas has been test firing their rockets at!!!!!
49. tsunami
not a muslim anymore   (03.27.07)
It's really hard to feel sorry for a people that are filled with such hate for everyone in the world except themselves. I do however, feel sorry for the women, children, and the elderly who lost their lives.
50. Meanwhile, they test explosives to use on Israeli civilians
Zvi ,   USA   (03.27.07)
http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3381827,00.html Again, where are their priorities? Are they using the hundreds of millions of dollars in cash that they smuggle in, the men and the materials that they have to maintain their infrastructure? Or are they using all of their resources to buy guns and thousands of tons of explosives to use against Israeli civilians and against EACH OTHER, to launch rockets into Israeli homes and schools, and to blow up malls and dance clubs in Israel?
51. Hurricane Katrina
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (03.27.07)
Let's not blame Israel for this one - although it's unsurprising that Israel gets blamed, it's utterly ridiculous. If the United States can such a poor job maintaining dams around New Orleans, what can we expect from the Palestinian Authority? The U.S. didn't invest in infrastructure. As a father, seeing the photo of the man holding the dead child is heart-wrenching and we should be helping the victims. Years ago, Greeks went across the border to help Turks dig out of a devastating earthquake and it helped save quite a few people and built goodwill. Maybe I'm asking too much here.
52. Please ....
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (03.27.07)
We should not be cruel - these people should be helped. It is not a time to pass judgement or blame. Jews don't celebrate the death and despair of innocent people.
53. Our troops SHOULD STAY OUT OF THERE
Talula ,   Israel   (03.27.07)
What the f-----g hell is this now? OUR troops have to go and help? why? for what? to be shot at? killed? kidnapped? I don't think so. Let them take care of the problem themselves, they all complain there isn't any work, well guess what, there is now.
54. Schadenfreude?
Jim ,   Philadelphia, MS   (03.27.07)
Atilla, the shrill vapidity you pass off as poetic enlightenment is giving me a headache, please cease and desist. BTW, I’m incredulous as to how schadenfreude would be the prevailing Israeli theme following this type of disaster had Arabs not fostered such animosity? Cooperate like humans, live like humans or be treated less than the same. Preface: “Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it.” Article 13: “There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors. ” Yeah, let me dust off the sympathy. It was in the closet next to my A.C. Slater costume from Halloween 2004.
55. What a Crapy Mess!
JR Crudup ,   Memphis, Tenn   (03.27.07)
Somebody forget to flush?
56. Dr. Safia
NYC Girl   (03.27.07)
"However, Safia claimed that Israel had threatened to bomb construction workers and sewage pipes should the project begin." Oh, really? Let's see you prove it, you lying bastard.
57. biggest putz Peretz
Yisraeli   (03.27.07)
Help? you nuts? let them wallow in theyre own shit of their making. Besides I expects one day a real tsunami to wipe out that area, how else did heaven allow the sin of Gush Katif. Just speculating tho.
58. Let the EU help them. Israel stay out!
Damian ,   USA   (03.27.07)
59. If the same happened in Israel the Palis would celebrate
Roger ,   USA   (03.27.07)
They would dance on the roofs and distributed candy.
60. G-d will expunge the enemy from the land of Israel
Mel ,   USA   (03.27.07)
Be that Gaza or Samaria!
