5. Peretz Cancels Trip??? Livni Coming Back???
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.15.07)
Why? We'd all be better off without both of you. #2 got it right - Peretz will watch Gaza with his famous binoculars. Maybe Livni is coming home to look for more "moderates" to support.
6. wHY DO THOSE THUGS POSE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERAS?
Susie ,   Israel   (06.15.07)
Why do these barbarians pose in fr'ont of the cameras? They can't be recognized by their fellow thugs, their family members, etc.....oh...they are so stupid, they don't even realize....
7. KASRILS MUST BE CONFUSED
Ploynie ,   Zimbabwe   (06.15.07)
Poor uncle Ron. Whose side are you on now. Bit embarrasing when you dealing with muderous scum. Rather help the okes in Darfur
8. Masked Bandits
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.15.07)
What does it mean that these people always go around with masked faces? There must be something particularly sinister about their deeds. Putting a mask on is not simply a way of avoiding retribution, but it is also a way of denying one's nefarious actions. With a mask on, evil-doers feel less guilty, and more liable to perform even more atrocious deeds than they would if their identities were visible to all. This is vile.
9. We missed a golden opportunity...
TheDoc ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.15.07)
...to pick those Hamas terrorists from air, since every car they openly rode and every building that they "conquered" was a nice and open target. I guess that by doing so, we either have stopped the masacre of civilians in Gaza and get Abbas a fair chance to stabilize Gaza, or get rid on several thousads of thugs on both sides or both. Now the only ones able to clean the garbage bin that they themselves have brought upon them during their last (yes, LAST) elections, are the Gazans themselves - the question is - are they willing and able to do it? As one Arab friend put it "Arabs need a strong hand to hit them on the head and continuously rape their rights in order to feel content. They need a tyrant to stabilize the situation. They do not have a tradition of democracy, have no clue what 'freedom' they fight for and do not deserve it for generations to come." - Feisal - you are right... I would add: Muslims fight for the freedom of being murdered, raped and segregated against by fellow Muslims. The problem is that they do it on our backs and on our blood. What's worse, they want us to live like them too! That's NOT going tohappen any time soon - you see, we in the West and in Israel KNOW what freedom we're fighting for and we DO have a tradition for democracy and human freedoms. Paradoxically, every radical Islam "victory" emboldens more and more civilized Muslims not to give in and see that the future that is in store for them is not that desirable as they are lied to. Egypt sees is, Jordan sees it, Lebanon sees it and now also Palestinians see it. The result of this Hamas "victory" will launch a backlash on fundamentalist Muslim organizatons worldwide - and not a moment too soon. And as Gaza is an enemy territory, I see no reason to provide it with water, electricity and communications. Hopefully faced with thge spectre of starvation, the population will act against the new Islamic overlords and deliver them faster to their barbaric heaven from the roofs of 15-story buildings.
10. shortsightedness
hiram ,   tel-aviv   (06.15.07)
Islamist will always pursue only one goal : domination. This is the basis of Jihad, regardless if in Gaza, Irak,Iran,Indonesia. Any country were guns are found freely circulating like Gaza ( amongst other places ) will always be prone to chnages of this kind. The international community has been shortsighted. In any case Hanniyeh has never had any legitimacy and is not near getting any. Drunk with power, he will soon see that his " victory" will vost him the financial support of whoever was stupid enough to believe that an Islamist government could chnage things in Gaza. The scenario may be different with the rest of the territories. We will see. But remember that this is a war of religion and NOT a political conflict. The timing of these events is controlled from abroad, not from Gaza and the scenario has been planed long ago, even before Mecca. Let's not fool ourselves : Hanniyeh does not control anything. He is being controlled...and so is the propaganda. ( The statement about making Gaza and Islamic state was "overstated without authority from tose in charge".....)
11. to # 6 and 8 - masks
Hardy ,   har har   (06.15.07)
The reason the murderous thugs wear the masks for the pose is because all the Groucho Marx gettups were used by the gang leaders!
12. Israel to blame
Sami ,   USA   (06.15.07)
Thanks to the Israeli policies that strengthened Hamas and forced poor Palestinians without jobs and salaries to support Hamas. This is a result of Israeli policies of war not peace with Palestinians. The moderates who accept the existance of Israel are taking a second row to those thugs shown in the photos.
13. Running around all armed to the teeth...
(06.15.07)
They just look so stupid! Like a bunch of little boys, who never grew up, playing "army man". It must be real heady holding a grinade launcher, I bet.

Gh-Reza Amouzadeh ,   Toronto-Canada   (06.15.07)
Now Islamic Republic is really in neighborhood of Israel.I heard there is 2 Ideas regarding this case in Israel.One group are concern and worried about this fact, while the other evaluating the situation as a benefit for Israel. Perhaps as a period of short time it is good for Israel, but not strategically.If we neglect from this important point,then it means we never understand Islamic republic.Now they resists against new situation, and gaming international community, but meanwhile would strengthen their military and networking abilities to destroy Israel on appropriate of time
15. Masks??
pierre ,   belgique   (06.15.07)
No cher readers,,These are not masks,,they are the Latest BOURKAS for Murderes,"Men of the Hamas;brigade,hehehe they look like they are about to do a SAD COMEDY SHOW;how Pathetic,they do not even have the courage to show their faces,when they murder their own brothers;;Disgusting.
16. Soprano=Palestinian
Palestinian=Soprano ,   Washington DC   (06.15.07)
The Soprano series ended this week. And now the Palestinians are continuing the show: gangland killing, killing fathers in front of their wives and children. And people dare to challenge the Israelis for building a wall ! ! What the Sopranos and the Palestinians have in common is a primitive, barbaric, Mediterranean vendetta mentality that all civilized people must disgard.
17. Wrong Sami, 12
Korem ,   New York, USA   (06.15.07)
If anything, it was the disengagement that caused increased support to Hamas, because when Israel was in the territories many Palestinians in fact had jobs and salaries working in Israel. The only time this would be impeded upon was if Hamas launched an attack at a border crossing, which they would do everytime Israel eased restrictions for Palestinian workers. When Israel left, Hamas was supposed to provide for the Palestinian people in place of Israel, but used all the aid money to fund Qassams. By your logic, Israel should be occupying Gaza.
18. hamas Thugs
steven ,   france   (06.15.07)
What the Hamas are doing now to the Palestinians,is pur THUGGERY,They are looting houses,belonging to Fatah members,and even Killing certain officials,and they want WORLD RECOGNITION???as a chosen Government??They are NOTHING more than murdering thugs;who like the Hizbollah,and the Irainian regime,are imposing an Islamic law on The majority of the palestinians who do NOT wish for the Hamas,to take control;;Why,do these Thugs cover their faces??Only terrorists and murderes do so ,in order not to be recognized,What arte they afraid of??,Criminal poursuite??Which they are "entitiled to??"These Hamas Thugs should be tried for crimes against the palestinian people;;;and should I say least of all crimes comitted against the Israelis..
