1. EU Hamas collaborators
(12.29.07)
in the EU Aid administration this was an inside job
2. Declines comment
Pete ,   Bat Yam   (12.29.07)
What can they say? They got caught red handed with their pants down! Stupid Europeans Rice is much smarter she gets Olmert to hand that kind of stuff over directly, no need to smuggle!
3. Examine all aid under Microscope, in Microwave, etc.
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (12.29.07)
Either EU are collaborators fully complicit with HAMAS TERRORISTS or HAMAS is exploiting EU. In either case ALL AID MUST BE MICROSCOPICALLY checked, irradiated, microwaved, etc. before being passed through. This process will most likely dramatically lengthen the processing time of aid getting through by several months at least and diminish the aid that actually makes it through. The processing might also be linked along with gas, electricity, and water to the release of Shalit and the complete cessation of all Qassam attacks.
4. Wouldn't be surprised if those "overly compassionate"
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.29.07)
Arab sympathizers, known as Human Rights or Betzelem Groups were behind this "humanitarian aid" headed for the Arabs.
5. Cargo found weeks ago Yeh! right!
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (12.29.07)
In the interest of fair play. Give Hamas the weapons it needs. Fatah already receives their's courtesy of Bush and Olmert. Let's have it all in the open.and above board. Then perhaps this drip drip by a thousand cuts will be over in a jiffy.
6. Solana would argue potassium nitrate is life saving drug
KMR ,   Middle East   (12.29.07)
7. was olmert planning on hiding this until after bushs visit?
jack bauer   (12.30.07)
8. Israel can and should have excelent diplomatic ties
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (12.30.07)
with everyone ,but SHOULD NEVER BELIEVE ANYONE,and should never risk even one milimiter of its security and its strategies ,in all fields-from education to everything-,in enemies hands.Yes ,anyone should be treated as a friend,but a friend that can be 100% an enemy. Israel wins always (and only)when it is master of its own Destiny.No other way!Experience has shown that we are very oftenly stabed in the back.We must learn definitively not to let this happen ,NEVERMORE,once and for all!
9. I wouldn´t be surprised if Omlert agreed to return it.
LEE ,   NY, USA   (12.30.07)
10. time to secure borders
arthur ,   jersey city usa   (12.30.07)
11. In the interest of fair play 5#
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (12.30.07)
Let the jews drop large bombs in retaliation on both Hamas and Fatah and end the problem entirely. Let the bloodletting commence.
12. The EU declines comment because they're too busty laughing.
JJohnson ,   Turks & Caicos   (12.30.07)
Laughing at this latest clumsy attempt by Israel to fabricate a scandal. Israel doesn't want aid to get to Gaza so they plant 'evidence' on a shipment in transit between the port and Gaza. No they have the scandal they need to justify starving the Palestinians in Gaza. *yawn*
13. That Would Make A Hell Of A Lot Of Corn Beef
David ,   Marietta, USA   (12.30.07)
Do the Europeans know what corn beef is? Better yet, do Palestinians? Hmmm...
14. #5 Lydia - Better idea: CUT ALL GAS, WATER, ELECTRICITY, FOO
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (12.30.07)
#5 Lydia - Better idea: CUT ALL GAS, WATER, ELECTRICITY, FOOD. Permanently stop the worst terror we are experiencing. Kill all HAMAS, PRC, IJ, and El Aqsa. Whoever (if anyone) is left should be permanently expelled. We have wanted to find a way to live in peace but HAMAS uncompromisingly calls for the destruction of Israel. THEREFORE THERE IS NO COMPROMISE AND NO OTHER CHOICE. Furthermore, look at the most recent announcement of Bin Laden. This confirms the obligation to destroy Al-Qaeda and terrorists not only for Israel but for the entire world.
15. tough call...
shmulke ,   w coast usa   (12.30.07)
Potassium Nitrate is also an agricultural fertilizer, but it's certainly an important element of homegrown rockets and explosives. The best use of it in the W Bank would be as saltpeter, where if put into the food, cigarettes, etc. there, might help lower the skyrocketing birth rate.
16. Remember All The Money EU Raised?
emanon ,   USA   (12.30.07)
Here it comes! I can imagine the excuses "Oh it is just a preservative for the meat". "Oh that . . . Oh, it's . . . fertilizer for the fields. Yeah that's it, fertilizer". Yeah, it's fertilizer alright, 100% pure bovine excreta!
17. Hmmmm...
Micha   (12.30.07)
Looks like arabs are at it again. And to the scum from australia, go to your arab sympathizer websites. Go express your fascist and racist opinions there.
18. Imagine what must be in the USA considering that
(12.30.07)
only one per cent of the cargo is checked.
19. no surprise: of course, the e.u. are enemies of the Jews
dante ,   uk   (12.30.07)
20. Quiz Question-How muchEU "SUGAR" has already got in West BaY
Alan ,   SA   (12.30.07)
21. EU
sas ,   israel   (12.30.07)
r u surprised???????????????? do they ever help israel???? - perhaps germany. the only country.
22. And then the world yells at us
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (12.30.07)
when we don't allow aid in!! Pete from Bat Yam - HI!!
23. lydia, has the sun gotten to you????
Steve ,   UK   (12.30.07)
"In the interest of fair play. Give Hamas the weapons it needs." The point is to take the weapons AWAY. More weapons means more attacks. Perhaps you didn't think of that.
24. This tears it
Steve ,   UK   (12.30.07)
"EU officials in Jerusalem had no immediate comment". Translation - "Damn, they found out. Don't say a word!! and we'll meet back in Brussels!!"
25. don't blame lydia...
kutuzov ,   new york   (12.30.07)
she's a moron....with an IQ no greater than her shoe size. Its not her fault... really.
26. All suspicious substances should be test in the Gaza water s
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (12.30.07)
All suspicious substances should be test in the Gaza water supply.
27. No deliveries to Gaza!!!!!!!
Israeli   (12.30.07)
Cut off the water, electricity and any supplies. This HAS to be the final straw now.
28. no surprise: they hide explosive belts in ambulances too
aaron ,   ra'anana   (12.30.07)
truly an insane gang of murders with no principles, no honor and no shame.
29. Expect no less
Johnson ,   USA   (12.30.07)
30. Paranoid
B.A. ,   Berlin, Germany   (12.30.07)
1. Ynet is – as usually – tuning this headline up in order to make it sound more dramatic and polarising. The Jerusalem Post headline is more accurate: It says there were chemicals disguised as EU aid. The Ynet headline reads as if the EU delivered the explosives whereas the JPost headline indicates the truth: Arab terrorists hid the explosives in EU aid bags. 2. I want to ask all those people here: Do you really believe the EU would deliver explosives to the Palestinians in order to support Hamas with killing Israelis? If you do so, you should be really concerned about your mental health and go and see a psychologist immediately. You are definitely paranoid.
