31. Israel, help us destroy you.
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (06.17.07)
Hamas is for the elimination of Israel from the map. But, in the meantime Hamas is asking Israel to help them recover from their successfull coup d`etat against the legitimate Palestinian government by providing them electricity . food and gas. The tragedy is that Israel will accept.
32. Bush's legitimecy
To TriTe   (06.17.07)
You are ignorant of our consitution in the USA. If Bush would not have been chosen it would have been unconstitutional in 2000. Check your civics class 101, the votes for president is not by simple majority. A vote in Wyoming, Montana or Vermont is worth more than a vote from Texas or California or New York. What you want is to change the rules of the games retroactivly, In 2004 Bush wan with more votes than any other president in history. Part of Democracy is accepting the winner of the elections and you Democrats have a lot to learn on that count.
33. GO BACK TO EGYPT FROM WHENCE YOU CAME!
David ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.17.07)
No Rabi's, no light, no nothing. Why help the same enemy that will eventually attack again and again! You leftwits just don't get it, do you? Why do you think that your leftwit compadres are running from Aza?
34. To # 9 Keren
Ali   (06.17.07)
it seems you live in another world! by sea??????? you live in israel and u don´t know that israel give the palestinian 5 km from the sean then it controls the depth of the sea!! no ship can exit gaza by sea!!
35. # 313 - Nora, the problem is that if
Aussie Larikin ,   Wagga, Aus   (06.17.07)
the Pals are denied power, cholera and worse will overcome them, and then, as you can probably work out yourself, would be an epidemic for Israel to deal with, to protect her own population. Bad idea, huh?
36. pals
Muggi ,   switzerland   (06.17.07)
can tell me someone why israel has let to enter gazapals to judea and samaria (in other words Terrorists or Pals the vote for terrorist) Israel is on the wrong way. let the rich arabsbrothers (saudis usw.) solve this problem. than the can show their humanity. whats wrong with that. d'ont fill judea and samaria with terrorists and their supporters. this will cost jewish peoples life.
37. Arabs are the responsibility of the 22 Arab states not Isr
Frank ,   USA   (06.17.07)
38. Egypt. Egypt, Egypt - join your Arab brothers in Egypt
Roger ,   USA   (06.17.07)
39. They are ENEMIES and deserve NOTHING! KEEP THEM OUT!
Stan ,   USA   (06.17.07)
40. Cut water and electricity! Dont lef them in!
Steve ,   USA   (06.17.07)
They are nothing but problem!
41. Israel should let the Palis stand on their own two feet!
Nannette ,   London, UK   (06.17.07)
It's time Israel stopped nannying the Palestinians and let them stand on their own two feet. They are NOT Israels responsibility, but the GOI must for once let the Arab nations look after their own. Close the borders completely and let them go to Egypt.
42. Close the door
Simon ,   Malha   (06.17.07)
It is harsh to say this but the only thing I think Israel should do is to close the door and let the international community and the Arab world to sort this situation out = everytime we help the Palestinians we get the world hating us. We have a state; we do not deal with Palestinians or shouldn't anymore - they want one thing and they are not to get that.. we build our wall on the land that we won and have now and forget the rest and forget them, build a defense system and we have peace!
43. #34
Keren ,   SP-Israel   (06.17.07)
Of course they can.They can go and don't comeback.Israel will let them. Otherwise,of course they can't,because if they could,the only thing they would do would be bring arms to kill themselves and us.
44. #11 I bet they would be as greatfull ...
Mia   (06.17.07)
I bet they would be as greatfull and show thier gratitude as they did for Israel unoccupiying the settlements around Gaza, by shooting Kassams at us. In any case I think we should be humane and feed them. And call in the UN to take them to whereever. Is there not a tunnle they can use to get to Egypt or the West bank.
45. THE PALS WANT THE OCCUPATION BACK?!?
Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.17.07)
46. REFUGEEISM
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.17.07)
Creating refugees, and refusing them normality, but sustaining their plight is the tactic used to attempt to destroy Israel demographically. And it costs the Islamofascists nothing, since UNWRA will pay the bill.
47. lock the gates SHUT
jack bauer ,   usa   (06.17.07)
you made your bed now sleep in it
48. Don't let NGOs in either
David   (06.17.07)
Especially not ISM (International Solidarity Movement). Let them stay in Gaza and protect civilians. I am sure Corrie would have approved. And there will be a lot of plays about them afterwards
49. To #11
David   (06.17.07)
We saw Palestinians' gratefulness when their patients treated in Israeli hospitals tried to blow them up. Why don't you invite them to Portugal?
50. Shomer Achi Enochi?
Shimon ,   Cincinnati, USA   (06.17.07)
By all means....Since it is easier to hate than to love, to ignore rather than care for.....let's make the same error that has been made since Kum Hamedina, and let's go on our merry way ignoring the plight of others.....then, let's wonder why there is no peace and blame someone else.
51. IT IS AN ARAB PROBLEM...LET THE ARAB WORLD PROVIDE
TOUGH LUCK ,   USA   (06.17.07)
OR PERHAPS IRAN, SINCE THEY AIDED AND ABETTED THE PERPETRATORS OF THIS DISASTER!
52. If Israelis acted like arabs, they would pass out candy
(06.17.07)
53. #34
(06.17.07)
i am sure israel will allow ships of refugees to leave by sea to egypt. it is not an impossibility for israel. it is egypt that won't open their boreders to you palestinians. yes, your beloved brothers who never gave you an ounce of food, aid, electricity, water, food, medicines, etc... some brothers you have!!!!
54. #1,3,50--how about we let them come to u
sick of idiots ,   at our expense   (06.17.07)
how about u take them in and feed them and clothe them and give them water and electicity while we will try somehow help all the 20,00ppl who r living under bombs in SDEROT --or have u forgotten about those jews. OR IS IT MUCH EASIER TO BLEED FOR YO ENEMY THEN FOR YO OWN BREATHEREN-- shimon--u r an idiot!
55. Are you all blind or jusr dumb?
Lednah ,   Europe   (06.17.07)
Why no one sees the obvious? Hamas chefs don't care for the palestinians at all. They get their orders from their boss - Iran. Iran knows its nuke facilites will be bombed soon, so it proceeds with the plan to create local fronts to Israel hoping to deter it from attacking.
56. #3 Your problem is not with Arabs but with terrorism
AK   (06.17.07)
It’s like saying that your problem is with a gun but not with the shooter. Who do you think performs those acts of terrorism and who trains, supplies and supports those terrorists? Martians? If you are merciful to the cruel, the innocent in your own country will pay in blood. Of cause, the Jews have no obligation to save the very people who openly say that they want to destroy Israel and murder the Jews, the "LIGHT" among nation not withstanding. 'Light' does n't mean suicidal.
57. ben, get real. what Israel is facing is a real war....
AK   (06.17.07)
with the real enemies, shooting real rockets. Somehow I don't remember anybody being as generous to their enemies as Israel already is. Israel's first duty is to safeguard the safety of its citizens, and not the people who to wage a war against her. In case you forgot, those Gazans elected Hamas and repaid the free gift of greenhouses and infrastructure left by the Jews with the murderous rocket attacks on Israeli cities and villages. israel owes gaza nothing, yet still provides water and electricity to that terrorist rathole.
58. jw, well said.
AK   (06.17.07)
59. tre T, the 'good will'
AK   (06.17.07)
Israel's 'good will gestures' ended up costing thousands of Israeli lives, tens of thousand of wounded and traumatized, tens of thousand displaced refugees, weakened Israeli defense and in the end people like you still march around the Capitol with the signs comparing Israel to Nazi Germany and the dopes in the UK organize boycotts of Israel. You support terrorism against Israel, but I have no doubt that you consider yourself an enlightened, tolerant person – a true LIBERAL. Be good enough then to list all those moderate Palestinians so that we all unthinking bigots can get enlightened by you.
60. i know that's right!
