1. Harming Israel
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (11.09.08)
This is a perfect example about how Kadima and Labor are hurting the country. Their conception is that economic pressure brings results, however it was proven once and again it's not true. You want to defeat them? Attack them with all our strength! Learn from the Russians not from useless Condi. When we are strong they retreat, when we are governed by people who love money more than their country and/or G, this is what it happens!
2. Free Gaza of its dependency on Israel
marge, USA   (11.09.08)
I am glad Gaza is becoming less dependent on Israel, the country that is committing genocide on the Palestinians for their land..
3. Israel in control of the Egypt-Gaza border crossing.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.09.08)
Israel should make no concessions to Hamas. The Egypt-Gaza border crossing should be exclusively under the control of Israel. The only second possibility should be the free choice of the inhabitant of Gaza to emigrat to other Arab countries (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). The time has come for these people to stop with politics and terrorism and search for a solution for their families based on well-being and peace. That is the real solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8
4. how dumb can they be?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.09.08)
they COULD have overground pipes with unlimited fuel. they COULD have goods flowing into gaza which would help their economy in so many ways. they COULD be having open borders which allow their people to work, visit relatives and friends, and freely travel to any place on the globe. but no. they gotta be hateful terrorists and do everything the most difficult way that ensures their pathetic situation. feel sorry for them? not at all, the losers.
5. # 2 The other kind of genocide
Bill ,   US   (11.09.08)
Israelis committ the kind of genocide where the population increases every year as opposed to the genoicde committed by Christians and Muslims where populations get depleted.
6. Marge, did you take your idiot pill this morning?
USA   (11.09.08)
7. Once enough rockets are ready to kill Jews, the "cease fire"
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.09.08)
will be over and the easy way to stop their progress is to bomb the philadelphi tunnels.

palestinian   (11.09.08)
true palestinians could have all you mentioned , but we will not kneel down to anyone to get all those things and for sure not from the zionists , and we will choose who we will buy it from and not be forced to buy anything from anyone ... we dont want anything from an evel nation like yours , everything you give us is either poisend , out of date and redated , double or triple priced .... so stay out of our lives , we dont want or need you ....
9. Marge #2
Yaron ,   USA   (11.09.08)
Are you some kind of delusional fool? I must assume you are mis-informed because you must understand that if Israel wanted to commit genocide on the Pals (debatable if there is really such a people, but let's assume there are for arguement's sake) the deal would have been done already. Israel and Jews are not a genocidal people, but if you were truly a concerned citizen of the USA.....you should ensure that Native Indians have their rights restored. Your comments are both hateful and ignorant but most of all inciteful. May you stew in your own hatred.
10. #5: You need to do that math again, or actually look it up
5th generation ,   Israel   (11.09.08)
The whole reason we put up with the ex-Soviet immigrants and Haredim is to try to keep up with the Arab growth. They have jumped from 20% to 30%, and that is partly because our doctors keep saving their arses from their own self-inflicted genetic diseases. Nice try, though. F for Effort.
11. 4 - no one is asking you to kneel
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.09.08)
n oone except you hamas overlords who love for you to suffer. by the way, my wife is a true palestinian arab, but unlike you she knows better than to support your islamic death cult. your ideology is the embodiment of hate, with every word dripping with disgust. you could learn a lot from her, how israelis are peace-loving people who want nothing more than to live in harmony with all. but you can enjoy your hate, and that is all you will ever have. enjoy!
12. Sorry #5 - my #10 response was meant for #2

Orwell ,   Farmville   (11.09.08)
If you are in fact living in USA. l would be very happy to see you return to the muslim nation you came from.
14. gaza economic pressure
rich ,   pittsburgh, pa, usa   (11.09.08)
G-d promised the land that the arab palistinians are now living in to Israel for an eternal covenant !!!!!! what are they doing on Israel's land ??????????? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSpoGBk51Qg goldieshouse.piczo.com
15. God and his promises
Wisdo ,   Ireland   (11.13.08)
God promises this whole area to me. I have official documentation from him in the form of a magical book I wrote under the influence of a vision from god. Now clear out, the lot of you. BY the way - no-one if falling for the "us poor Israelis" gambit anymore. You are the people in power, you are inflicting the vastly greater proportion of misery and destruction. Shame on you.
