1. To: Madame Secretary of State
Sarah ,   New York City, USA   (03.03.09)
Two words for you: Gilad Shalit You went to Yale. Shouldn't be that hard for you to grasp.
2. Ignore Cliton; She's surreal
Zohan ,   Tel Aviv   (03.03.09)
3. To #1
meme   (03.03.09)
Hundreds and hundreds of Palestinians are roting in israeli jails. What makes your Shalit so unique? His "Jewish soul" that the Pals dont have? Try to sell that to the rest of the world, he-he...
4. Clinton Is So Incredibly Arrogant
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (03.03.09)
Who died and made her queen of the world?
5. #1: That's really the only appropriate response, isn't it?
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (03.03.09)
6. Clinton Shows True Colors - Jews Wake Up!!!
Dan ,   Titusville, FL USA   (03.03.09)
As First lady Clinton hugged Arafat;'s wife. As Senator she "Loved" Jews. As Sec'y of State she is back to hating Jews and loving those that want us dead. Any Jew who gives any money to the Democrats has to have their head examined.
7. Security first...THEN review opening borders
Arie ,   BaGolan   (03.03.09)
8. Differing standards
Arie ,   BaGolan   (03.03.09)
The US is currently building a 600 mile "separation fence" between Mexico and the southern part of the US. The intent? control the flow of populations (in contradiction of treaties the US has signed) and control the flow of goods.In addition, the US is now preparing to send federal troops to aid State law enforcement and State National Guard to combat narco-terrorism. With the troops, the "open flow" between Texas and Northern Mexico will be restrained dramatically. So explain to us Hillary - Why is it OK for the US to do what needs be done to fight terrorists but we are not allowed? I forgot...the islamist states pay bill clinton to speak so we must accede to their demands. CASH FLOW governs all.
9. Sarah rocks.
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.03.09)
10. open crossings
alan ,   texas   (03.03.09)
Why reward terrorists, Mrs. American Secy State?
11. With all due respect
Myra ,   Bellis, Canada   (03.03.09)
I disagree with Mrs. Clinton 100% on the issue of opening the border until such time as Gilad is safely back at home with friends and family!!! Gilad must be released first!!!
12. US POLICY !!!.
Orao Stranka. ,   Tsarigrad u Srbia.   (03.03.09)
WHY CANT THE ISRAELIS MAKE THEIR OWN POLICY REGARDING GAZA ???. Clinton presses Israel on Gaza crossings Visiting US Secretary of State voices concern over closure imposed on Gaza Strip, asks Defense Minister Barak to reopen them in effort to ease humanitarian needs of Palestinians ARE THERE ONLY JERKS IN ISRAEL ???. ONE JERK AFTER ANOTHER CHAKE THEIR HANDS AND CEEP EACH OTHERS BACK, ALL OF THEM LOSERS DEMAND THE FREEDOM OF SHALIT OR LET THE GAZANS STARVE TO DEATH. THERE SHOULD BE NO OPENING OF GAZA CROSSINGS. Orao.
13. Open the border to Mexico first, Ms Clinton.
(03.03.09)
14. What about Kassams?
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.03.09)
How many today? 1984 has arrived finally. You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until Obama needs a scapegoat to deflect attention from his failed economic policy
15. Stop the Smuggling..Relief at the Borders, Okay
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (03.03.09)
I suppose that until the permanent status of the Strip is determined, this controvery about open borders will continue? Israel should allow food, medicine, non-dual use supplies in..that's no problemo. Egypt could help to with it's borders, but should also stop smuggling. Israel needs to equate borders with smuggling., give a little, expect a little. If Hamas continues violence (Kassams and attacks against border points), then what's the point of all this discussion. Hillary knows all of the above..but the US is pandering to the Arab-Muslim-Palestinian worlds. Bibi may, or may not resolve this quickly..I have my doubts..Hillary is the voice of Obama, it's that simple.
16. To #3
Khalid   (03.03.09)
Actually it's close to 11,000, but Thank You :) :) :)
17. Tell her price for crossing access is US aid to Sderot area
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego   (03.03.09)
Billary should be told in no uncertain terms that additional opening of crossings into Hamasstan from sovereign Israel will be a US funded reinforcement of all Israeli communities near Gaza against rocket attacks, including an immediate multi-billion dollar reinforcement of all Israeli schools in the area with titanium reinforced Kevlar matting, to be flown in on US's C5 Galaxy fleet and installed by US Seabees. All additional aid to Gaza, including reconstruction, should include an airtight direct monitoring system, with Israeli oversight, to prevent any diversion to Hamas installations or families, with stipulation all aid will cease permanently if a single Hamas diversion occurs - just as UN demanded their stolen food back from Hamas. No agreement from Billary - no deal. The nerve of her. Where is the US aid to rebuild Bin Laden's active Taliban strongholds, which have a far lower living standards than Gaza?
18. olmert warnings on hamas
mohson   (03.03.09)
olmert is full of crap. His warnings are worthless and arabs mock him. He is afraid of gentiles(erdogan, clinton),, his judgement in military matters is flawed, his courage is zer(never served in combat, his sons likewise). The only thing he is good at is collecting cash, billing charities for his wife's private holidays and losing wars.
19. Was it ever clearer that Clinton is a puppet barking on cue?
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (03.03.09)
20. Closed Borders = Collective Punishment=AntiSemit
RJBH ,   Methil   (03.03.09)
Simple enough Equation .. I thought Jews would jump at it being as Hillary is your best friend. Shalit .. Poor guy... but then .. tens of thousand of Palestinians have been kidnapped too.
21. NO HUMANATARIAN NEEDS . ISRAEL GIVES IT DAILY AID..
TERROIST AID,,YES ! ,   .......DACON9   (03.03.09)
22. Welcome to SOROS world!
Shaul ,   Sheboygan   (03.04.09)
Billionaire George Soros openly supports HAMAS. He also surreptitiously bought the election for Obama. (As he did for Senator Clinton). Now, SOROS is getting all his ducks in a row . . . .
23. It is beyond repulsing such an amount os cynism
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.04.09)
" Clinton reiterated her support for Israel's struggle against terror, saying that the US was committed to Israel's security and the need of its citizens to live in peace with their neighbors." Yeah,the statement above is comming from the botton of he heart...,it is all true.... IMBELIEVABLE,IMBELIEVABLE!!! Imagine...there are some 1 million and a half palis in Gaza,more some 2 millions and a half in Israel and Judea and Samaria,I don't know exactly the numbers,but anyway,lets say that there are some 5 million arabs being squezed and pushed among us.Imagine if it were given to each one ,lets'say 10000 US dollars,they could buy a good piece of land among their own. If this was bought in the whole sale it would be required MUCH ,MUCH less. If this amount is multiplied for the money these "helpers "have been giving along these years,imagine what could not have been done to this people who are being made miserables by these donors.They are being miserable and us too,because it is not cute to have to struggle against this monstruosity day by day. Now ,again more almost FIVE BILLIONS(FIVE BILLIONS!!)are going to the pockets of few who are amuzing their selves with this BIG BUSINESS of few.I repeat:OF VERY,VERY FEW MONSTERS!
24. here that sound?
David ,   USA, exile   (03.03.09)
It is the hiss of nahash. Be careful my brothers.
25. #3 meme
mark ,   Israel   (03.04.09)
I've always wondered what all those Arabs do in Israeli jails. Now I know- they're roting. Are you sure you don't mean rutting?
26. Go to hell
J K ,   NYC, USA   (03.04.09)
Open borders is not a right, its a privilege. And if anyone thinks the Fakestinians have done anything to warrant open borders, then Hillary could use a couple of sessions on the couch
27. #3
Dan ,   Titusville florida   (03.04.09)
Thousands of Palestinian terrorists are "rotting" in Israeli jails!!??....so what is your point?
28. JEWS for Clinton
ART ,   SAN ANTONIO,TEXAS   (03.04.09)
You must keep your friends and family close, AND your enemies even closer! Common Sense..
29. # 3: What makes Gilad Shalit so unique?
S ,   Germany   (03.04.09)
Apart from the fact that he is the ONLY Israeli "prisoner" in Gaza: The conditions of his captivity of course. Because he is in the hands of terrorists, who threaten to kill him. Because it is not known where he is being held. Because he is not allowed visits by the Red Cross or his family. If he was kept in conformance with international law, not so many people would be interested in him.
30. Great idea, just as Israel stopped the suicide bombers...
DANNY ,   America   (03.04.09)
she and her husband established, she is going to poke her nose into business she has no clue about? she is going to get us all killed! I am seriously wishing I could hide somewhere besides America, but where? Mexico? last time I went there I was held up at gun point with Auto machine Gun style. That was 30 years ago, could you imagine today? Gee Wizz this is getting scary! Hillary back off! phew, like she cares... what planet is she from?
