31. #13 Terrorists Hate, Jews Defend Selves Without Hating
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.13.09)
Mishlei Shlomoh 24.17-18. Dati Jews defend ourselves because we must. We are NOT like Muslim terrorists who hate. Paqid Yirmeyahu Paqid 16, The Netzarim, Ra'anana, Israel Israeli Orthodox Jew (Teimani Baladi Dardai) Advancing Logic as Halakhic Authority Welcoming Jews & non-Jews www.netzarim.co.il
32. Madame Zyriab
Jean-Pierre ,   Holon, Israel   (01.13.09)
Do your Gazan friends resist the good life they could have had on their land (GAZA)? Do your friends resist being a free people on its own land (GAZA)? G-d is with everyone and rewards each one acording to his merits. Makes you think, doesn't it?
33. The Disgrace Is Not Israel's!
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (01.13.09)
"It is a disgrace that the international community allows the bloodshed in Gaza to continue." What does that tell you about how the international community - Arabs includes - think about Islamic terrorism? There is zero hope for Gaza or anywhere else that is controlled by disciples of this violent and twisted doctrine.
34. Three billion a year is not enough?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.13.09)
Hum last year they got 3 billion dollars which is about 1,000 per person. Five times the average salary in Syria. That is not enough? Then maybe the money is being stolen and since we have nothing to do with that, the question should be who got the money? Who stole the aid?
35. So . . . ? Stop The Rockets / Homicide Bombings
emanon ,   USA   (01.13.09)
36. Self-righteous pathology to da bitter end.

37. I've never before heard such whining

38. #8, Zyriab, not God, just allah
israeli ,   israel   (01.13.09)
and he has been spotted in an underground bunker with Haniyeh, and sometimes with Nasrallah.
39. Just for the record-Read
(01.13.09)
Lets see the differences between jewish settlers in gaza strip to the palestinians who live there: 1.When the jew came there they built greenhouses an developed huge agriculture infrastructure;the gazans on the other hand choose to cry and live in poverty-thats what they are doing for 60 years. 2.when the jews left these settlement-hamas of course destroyed the synagogues and turned the agriculture areas into hamas terror-training sites. these people deserve to suffer for their own stupidity
40. Hamas is willing to talk, just not under Israel's conditions
(01.13.09)
lol "You can have the cake, just don't eat it"...
41. #24 Fabio, Rome - Italy You're good!
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.13.09)
42. "The simple helpless people"
Sammy ,   Tel Aviv   (01.13.09)
They were the ones who voted Hamas in in the first place, they support them and should stop whining. Dr. Khalaf has a basement full of Hamas "leaders" and should also keep his mouth shut. Let those "simple helpless people" remember how they give out candy when Hamas and the other terrorist organizations kill Israelis. No withdrawal without Shalit, no withdrawal without breaking the back of Hamas, no withdrawal without destroying the tunnels.
43. To Dr. H. Khalaf. Hamas Was The FIRST To Reject.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (01.13.09)
You said :” "It is a disgrace that the international community allows the bloodshed in Gaza to continue …” Dr. Khalaf, it is Hamas who allows the bloodshed to continue -- NOT the international community. The UN Security Council passed Resolution 1860 after many, many, many days of intense negotiations -- and Hamas was the FIRST to reject the hard-fought resolution (the Arab countries and Arab League chief Mr. Amr Mussa fought hard to get Resolution 1860 passed). SO, don’t blame the international community -- if you want to blame, blame Hamas for the continuation of the bloodshed in Gaza Strip. (OF course, you won’t blame Hamas. Because if you did, Hamas would kick the crap out of your ass.)
44. Dr. Khalaf is clearly a spokesman for Hamas
John Phee ,   Sydney AUSTRALIA   (01.13.09)
Dr. Khalaf is following the Hamas line. Now the real question is how many ambulances has be ordered to be used as troop & weapon carriers. How many Fatah wounded has he given "leathal injections" to please Hamas. As for Gazan's rather dying than going to Israel for treatment. If this is the case whay has Gaza Health Ministry banned them from doing so. Sorry Khalaf but Gazan's do want to go to Israel for help. Also Khalaf say hello to the Hamas leadership that the media claims is hiding in your Israeli built hospital. Why does Khalaf permit a hospital to be used as a Hamas operations base? This is a question that UNWRA & the Red Cross MUST anaswer.
45. Re Shifa Hospital
usa   (01.14.09)
"The casualties number at 4,215 people and Shifa only has 600 beds." Then Hamas should make room in their bunker for the wounded.
46. Dr. orders?
Miriam ,   Canada   (01.14.09)
this doctor is pathetic. Palestinians refuse to go to Israel for treatment? Why not get treatment in Gaza if it is soooo much better? Why on earth should Israel treat the enemy who shoots at civilians, sends suicide bombers. This is a weird world- Palestinians want the cake and eat it too- sorry folks it does not work that way.
