1. so israel is still supplying gaza with fuel and electricity
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.30.07)
instead of being "collective punishment", this sounds more like giving generous gifts to those who least deserve it. once again, israel deserves credit for being morally superior (although, it does not take much be morally superior to those who commit and support terror in the name of religion).
2. Only when they start to smuggle food instead of rockets..

redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (11.30.07)
I don't know of another country in the world wherein the court would be interfering in political decisions like this and the route of the fence etc. The High Court is fast alienating Israelis that once believed in it. Mike
6.  acts of war Rockets into Israel collective punishment
Petra ,   usa   (11.30.07)

8. 2#Jew: Well said
Nora ,   Tel Aviv   (11.30.07)
Tons upon tons of ammunition are waiting at the Egyptian border to be smuggled to Gaza . Let`s hope that the new Israeli restrictions will convince them that food is a better alternative to ammunition.
9. #3: Not collective punishement!
(11.30.07)
Reward for voting in a terrorist organisation to lead the nation in democratic elections.
10. Inhuman!! How will Gazans make their Molotov Cocktails

11. Cutting off only slightly is like slapping the wrist of a
vicky ,   Ashkelon   (11.30.07)
naughty child about to steal sweets from a sweetie counter. Cut it off completely until we get Shallit back AND and end to kassams and would be suicide bombers that are still trying to get through. Close our schools, universities AND hospitals to them, they should have their own by now.
12. The Court's Powers Must Be Limited.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.30.07)
The Court cannot be allowed to rule on issues of national security. The courts have been usurping authority for far too long. The basic problem is in the selection process for judges - they are a self-perpetuating clique of leftist ideologues whose rulings disregard our security while promoting their own agenda. This goes far beyond questions of judicial independence because the court is extending it's authority over the executive & legislative branches of government. The Knesset has been remiss in it's responsibilities (hardly surprising) by allowing it's authority to be undermined. What the court does not realize is that they are responsible for the people's loss of respect for yet another Israeli institution.
13. War Criminals in Gaza=> Hamas+IslamicJihad
KMR ,   Middle East   (11.30.07)
14. To #3
Hans ,   USA   (11.30.07)
Since when is a nation forced to supply an enemy nation with energy and maintain their supply lines? Get real.
15. Stop biting the hand that feeds then...
Hans ,   USA   (11.30.07)
"''Any intentional reduction in vital services to Gaza residents who cannot receive fuel, electricity or other goods except from Israel constitutes illegal collective punishment,'' Bashi said, adding that the step would cause humanitarian damage." It sounds like those Palestinians should reconsider biting the hand that feeds.
16. HAMAS HUMANITARIANISM FIRST
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (11.30.07)
NO HUMANITARANS IN GAZA.ANY ISRAELI INJURY OR LIFE LOST MUST RELATE TO THE HUMANITARIAN STRIVING FOR GOOD NEIGHBOURLINESS ON THE PART OF HAMAS.WITNESS THE MOBS ON THE STREET WHO ELECTED THEM .IN GAZA YOU WILL SEE HUMANITARIANISM DISPLAYED ONLY WITH STONE THROWERS,KALACHNIKOFFS SUICIDE BELTS...TO BE USED AGAINST ISRAELI CHILDREN,WOMEN MEN,AND IF NEED BE.. BY KASSEMSANISM HUMANITARIANISM ,IT SEEMS ONLY WORKS THE HARD WAY...UNTIL THEY DESIST..NO DEAL!
17. What right does the court have to interfere
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.30.07)

18. Idiots! Israel don't give! Border closed! 1 seller=Israel!
