(03.02.08)
in the making don´t you see it ? nothing has changed !
4. huh?
joseph ,   israel   (03.02.08)
"transport the wounded to Israel" Why would the Arabs want to treat their wounded heros to be cared for by the Israeli tax payer? Why not tansport the wounded to Egypt? Or Saudi Arabia? Or Teheran? If these countries can give weapons, cant they take the casualties of these weapons?
5. GAZANS: STOP HAMAS AND GET YOUR LIVES BACK.

6. How did the terrorists front say it.....
(03.02.08)
You want war, you got it!
7. WHY DIDN'T THEY BUILD HOSPITALS WITH THE BILLIONS
SERGIO ,   ISRAEL   (03.02.08)
THEY RECEIVED FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD INSTEAD OF BUYING WEAPONS AND EXPLOSIVES???
8. Is it of any surprise?
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (03.02.08)
This is what happens when you build rockets and missiles instead of hospitals and infrastructure. It is also what happens when you want to kill Jews, and fire these rockets ad missiles at civilian areas in Israel. All those BILLIONS of dollars given to you in aid, and what will you Arabs have to show for it? - Nothing but your dead, your hungry and poverty stricken people, while the well fed terrorists of Hamas, Fatah, and Jihad line their pockets, stuff their bellies, while, they telling the world how you love death more than life -as they hide underground.
9. Let me see, let me see...
me ,   here   (03.02.08)
WHO was shooting at Nahariyya hospital in 2006.............??? And WHO failed to condemn it...? Ah, I have such a short memory... Could anyone remind me???!!!!!
10. And WHO were shooting at a school this very week...?
me ,   here   (03.02.08)
Gosh, my memory IS rusty...
11. The world must intervene NOW
Jean-Pierre ,   Holon   (03.02.08)
The Gaza blockade, he added, makes it impossible to transport those seriously wounded for treatment in Israel. "We called on Gazans to donate blood and many have come to do so, but we have no way to transport (critical) patients to Israel – the crossings have been closed since Wednesday." Must we understand that before Wednesday, Israel gave these people coming from an enemy territory, access the hospitals? This is a scandal against all the rules of war. The UN must force the israeli government to stop immediately this terrible practice.
12. they should spend their money on medicines, and not on...
britney   (03.02.08)
rockets. its their problem.
13. That's what happens after you target Barzilai Hospital.
LEE ,   NY, USA   (03.02.08)
By clear Divine assistance a grad missile that was launched towards Ashkelon two days ago landed in the back of Barzilai Hospital. The missile not only barely missed what could of been an unthinkable disaster on the hospital and its patients, BUT ALSO FAILED TO EXPLODE. G-d is great indeed. If Hamas needs more rooms in the hospitals, let them clear away all those rooms used for storing rockets and ammunition. The IDF must not relent.
14. Treatment in Israel
Elianah   (03.02.08)
Why is it that they can fire rockets over the border into Israel and speak about destroying the Jewish state AND AT THE SAME TIME just expect that their injured terrorists will receive treatment there? Whatever they're smoking, I'd like some of it.
15. stop the missiles
DS ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.02.08)
Stop the missiles, get back to your lives.
16. Forward planning
Talula ,   Israel   (03.02.08)
The hospitals in Gaza can collapse for all I care. They did not heed the warnings, they didn't stop the rockets and clearly they didn't think of the aftermath. They also didn't think they were going to get the response they got. They all deserve everything that's coming to them. I've no more pity for them. I'm sure I'm not the only one.
17. Why would they want to be treated by Israel?
3Jay ,   Israel   (03.02.08)
I thought we were all monkeys and pigs.....better they get treated in Egypt by their brothers! Funny how Egypt doesnt get condemned for not allowing them over their borders and into their hospitals!
18. Send them off to their terrorist brothers in Jordan
M.M.   (03.02.08)
19. They used the money they got to buy and make weapons!!!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (03.02.08)
20. What Hospital, only the other day
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (03.02.08)
your were crying that a woman died because she couldnt get across the border into Israel and go to Barzilai hospital. (or did the bomb belt blow up before she could get there!!!!) Get real, Hamass could not givea tinkers cuss about their own people. If they did their hospital would be state of the art, better than any hospital in US or Israel, if they spent the money wisely and not on Rockets and buchshees. (But us being Jews will do the right thing and help treat these so called innocent civilians. Because that is our law!)
21. Hamas must capitulate
Franklin ,   Paris   (03.02.08)
How Hamas can declare and practise open war with Israel and neglect upgrading his sanitaries infrastructures.... This devils do'nt care about their population they use like puppets. In case of collapse of the Gazans hospitals...Hamas must capitulate or beg a ceasefire NOW.
22. Hannya sez "We love death unlike Israelis who love life"-
Alan ,   SA   (03.02.08)
So why are they complaining about treatment in Gaza Hospital. Also parents are thanking Allah for taking their young Lions.Some say they are happy they have lost 10 relatives in fighting Israel!! Is this another "Olives and Weeds "Soup story?
23. #11: Which Terrible Practice?
emanon ,   USA   (03.02.08)
Israel treating its enemies in Israeli hospitals? Terrorists continuing barrage of rockets on Israeli cities? You choose . . .
24. First they had Arafat and the money
Elly Sørensen ,   Denmark   (03.02.08)
he didn't keep for himself, which made him one of the ten most rich men in the world, was used to by weapons. Then they brought Hamas to power and the story continues regarding buying weapons in stead of bringing more welfare to Gaza after Israel made their stupid withdrawal. The Arab muslims get what they want. Another thing is that no other people have received so much money as these Arab Muslims, All the time they choose weapons and terror. They never chose building a good life and a better future.
25. another sob story?
Yisraeli   (03.02.08)
and whats the point of this article? not to defend ourselves? care more about the terrorists and theyre families whilst ours are subjected to bombings for over 8 years? israelnationanews.com has a whole article on this article. We are not swayed in our resolve even if this government doesnt intend to vanquish our enemies the people subscribe differently.
26. #11: Or Are You Afraid
emanon ,   USA   (03.02.08)
Your famed tower will become just another minaret? Are you afraid Notre Dame will be torn down as an affront to the Islamic faith? That Lourdes will be shut down and torn down because it was founded on mass hysteria and a false religion? Are you afraid because your cafe's will be shut down because they dare serve alcohol? Are you afraid your famed houte coture will be shut down because burkahs will be the only clothing permitted to women? I could go on, but I'm sure you get the idea.
27. Israel is NOT responsible for Hamas ruled, independent, Gaza
Nannette ,   London   (03.02.08)
The Palestinians in Gaza have made their choice. Instead of using the hundreds of billions they received in international aid to build - an independent infrastructure, hospitals, schools, houses, industries, agriculture, and give the people a good life, they CHOSE to spend the money on destruction - such as weapons, ammunition, building bomb factories, rockets, and import weapons from Iran, Syria, etc... The ONLY way they'll learn is when the world STOPS giving them anything, and then the people will overthrow Hamas! Then there's a chance the people will want a better and more constructive, positive life - but they can only do this by rejecting terrorists and terrorism.
28. Gaza should lay down arms and sue for peace
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.02.08)
Gaza has declared war. Now Gaza is paying a terrible price for their madness. They should stop crying, and face the consequences of their aggression. Gazans must lay down their arms and sue for peace - a *real* peace. Absent that, Israel is within its rights to keep pounding them. It's called self-defense.
29. #7 Sergio because they murder Jews
petra ,   USA   (03.02.08)
and expect their wonded to be treated at Israels expense. Why invest in their own people when their PR machine works so well?
30. #11 Jean Pierre, Holon
petra ,   usa   (03.02.08)
Yes, and while their at it, an international demand that the Pals stop all the aggressive rocket firings into Israel. This is what started the latest round of terror from Hamas, a duly elected gov. of losing pals. America finished WW11 and the first strike from Japanese on Pearl Harbor by the Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasake. Sounds like Israel will have to do the same to get them to stop. Condemnation by the Muslims at the UN is baseless and idiotic. Even they have trouble keeping a straight face in lieu of the daily rockets being fired into Israel. ISrael is Americas only trusted ally in the ME. WE will not forget or forsake her. The pals will spend all their cash on rockets, Israel will do what she has to do to end this latest round of hostilities. Hamas could care less about her own people. Why should Israel aid them in any way? The rules of war are well known by both sides. Build hospitals for their own stop depending on you avowed enemy for care. p.s. the world doesn't give a rats ass about the pals. Neither do their own Muslim brotherhood.
