62. cutting power down in gaza
issy dykman ,   israel ganei tikva   (10.26.07)
When will we wake up to the fact that we are at war with the terrorists who control Gaza. These terrorists were voted in by the people of Gaza. We should cut off all electricity, gas and any other contacts. We are at war with them. We want unconditional surrender, as the Allies did with the Nazis,. Then let's help them rebuild a democratic society and have their state.
63. #40: Great idea! I would not eat what they grow in Gaza!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.25.07)
They irigate their crops with polluted water and lace them with pesticides many times more than the accepted standards. If they stop selling their poisoned fruit and vegetables they would be doing us a FAVOR! Thank you "Lev" from "Moscow" - or is it "Muhammad" from "Hamastan"?
64. IT'S A CRIME!!!
moriah ,   sacramento,USA   (10.26.07)
When Palestinians are prevented from killing Jews it's a crime -Waaaah!
65. Abu Zaid, next time friend use you "free elections" wisely

66. We Shall Fight on the Beaches
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Be'er Sheva , Israel   (10.26.07)
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, WE SHALL SWITCH YOUR ELECTRICITY OFF FOR 15 min , and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.
67. If Limiting is War-Crime,Than What is Cutting-Off? Genocide!
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (10.26.07)
IF limiting power supply is a war-crime, how should completely cutting-off power supply be called ? I guess the Arabs would call it genocide. Gazans, here is a solution. Use candle light. WHY bother having electricity. Keep life SIMPLE and cheap -- and you will be much more happy than you are now. (btw guys, no electricity at night will mean a bigger population explosion in Gaza Strip ! And Hamas, being scared, calls this population-explosion a WAR-CRIME. Late Yasser Arafat would be happy with this kind of war-crime ; I guess he would prefer the genocide.) (This is just some food for thought.)
68. Gaza's Not Occupied
Gershon ,   Canada   (10.26.07)
Since Gaza is no longer an occupied territory Israel has no obligations as an occupying force. There is nothing in international law that requires states to have formal contact or trade. Israel should inform Gaza, Egypt and the UN that as of, say March 2009, Israel will complete it's disengagement from Gaza and longer supply it with power or fuel. This gives the international community time to do whatever it likes to help the "poor" Gazans. Israel should permanently seal it's borders with Gaza and only patrol offshore as far south as Gaza's northern border. Then let them do whatever they want. If they continue to attack Israel then they will have declared war and Israel can defend itself however it feels is appropriate.
