2. Abbas in Gaza? Keep Dreaming!
Nour ,   Palestine   (01.14.09)
Rest assured that Abbas will never set foot in Gaza again, history will show all! He's a sell-out, and his hands are tainted with Palestinian children's blood.

5. While Hamas is power miminum can and will be done
JO   (01.14.09)
Gaza already runs on UN aid for many decades. If Hamas had to truly provide for Gaza they would collapse. Hamas should be given nothing and just enough aid be given for normality but not prosperity.
6. Gaza was NEVER a beautiful successful holiday destination
Talula ,   Israel   (01.14.09)
Stop treating it like it was. It has always looked like a motorway pile-up. No authorities that have governed Gaza have ever cared about it - they just bled it dry of money. Such vile animals.
7. Typical American Immature "Strategy" - a-la-Iraq
Albert   (01.14.09)
Refer to #2,3,4 This shows US / israeli "new world order" going nowhere but deeper and deeper aground.
8.  US sees Gaza rebuilding as opportunity for Abbas
Lior ,   Israel   (01.14.09)
Ha, ha ha.........to take another trip to visit Samir Kuntar in Beirut who brutally and viciously slaughtered Jews. To get -->more rush jobs at printer to make --->MORE POSTERS which show: ALL OF ISRAEL PALESTINE!!! Why the Palestinians can't make it is the fault of the world who does nothing but lie for them, whitewash their sins away and enable them to rise again for a 3rd intifada which perhaps will do away with us for good. I am so sick of this crap I could scream. Two good links everyone should read: http://www.ekurd.net/mismas/articles/misc2007/7/independentstate1497.htm and http://home.cogeco.ca/~kurdistan/10-8-04-opinion-palestinian-betrayal-of-kurds.html I beg you to read...... Please read and send it to every head of state in the land. This BS we are being fed about the pooooooor Palestinians is because we are JEWS!! Understand? Because we are Jews... Period.
9. Then the EU shouldn't pay
Danny   (01.14.09)
or should make sure it doesn't fund terrorists. Let the Gazans live in rubble until the next election, see how well the islamists do then. As for Iran funding them, i think you'll find they are a little less flush with cash than then have been recently....
10. Rebuilding Gaza
Debra ,   UK   (01.14.09)
Do not be misled, Gaza is being financed to cause this destruction it Israel. It simply backfired and it will each and every time.
11. Get a ventiloquist for the Abbas dummy.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.14.09)
Maybe Condi Rice could get the job. It should be a very funny act, sort of like the thing I saw on YouTube of Ahmed the Terrorist. It will get a lot of laughs from the Arabs. More seriously, America has interfered enough trying to support someone who has no popular support of his own. The failure stems from Oslo which attempted, mistakenly, to turn corrupt thugs & terrorists into ''peace partners'' - a policy that has gone from failure to failure. Politicians have come to have a vested interest in this failed policy & a whole industry of ''peace-profiteers'' have developed careers BS-ing about ''peace'' ...... Fatah is a failure & Abbas is a nobody & the sooner this is acknowledged, the better. I talk with Arab friends all the time - and the unanimous concensus is that Abbas is a stooge. Attempts to prop up this ''dead man'' are doomed to failure. This is certainly not the first time America goes with such a bankrupt strategy & it has failed every time. Our own politicians have done the same thing since Oslo & we see the result. Everyone likes ''magic solutions'' but experience & history tell us they never work. They won't work this time either.
12. Israel getCredit for killing Palstans&destroying their homes
Mi ,   Michigan, US   (01.14.09)
13. If the stupid UN had convened in their stupid circle
@home   (01.14.09)
to condemn and stop the rocket attacks against Israeli citizens, the EU wouldn't be contracting donor fatigue syndrome. Why wait until Israel goes crazy, why not care enough for Israeli citizens in the first place. Now everyone is whining about the destruction. Well too bad, we’re sick and fed up as well with all this Jihadi claptrap and stupid dupe associates in EU. If EU loves their little pals, they should keep paying for them forever.
14. Jewish soldiers dying for Abbas to rebuild Gaza?
(01.14.09)
15. UNRWA = HAMAS!
OPEN UNRWA BOOKS!!!!   (01.14.09)
16. Let Hamas do it. No more EU money
De   (01.14.09)
The EU and the West have nothing in common with this islamic group, while they are in charge let them do what they need. The EU and the West is not going to give a penny. Already 34 million euro have been given in aid and Gazans continually live on Aid for decades. Enough. If they choose Hamas let Hamas pay. Abbas has no power there and who thinks that Hamas will give up it's power so easily even if they are voted out??? No one.
17. Rebuilding Gaza
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (01.14.09)
Why not let everybody do it I mean the whole world companies from all countries why not make Gaza a tourism center beaches, hotels, resorts, casinos, golf courses, amusement park, cruise ships, why not Disneyland. lets help these people change their enviornment right now it is a place where no one wants to go lets make it a place where everyone wants to go.
