1. But they still claim Gazans are starving
William ,   Israel   (09.16.09)
I hear a fender has lots of iron. good for their health.
2. Rolling down the street
Jacob Erickson ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.16.09)
I'm sure everyone will look at the guy rolling through the hood and think, wow, he's badass with his new car and not; wow, the gasoline that's fueling his car could be heating my home
3. Did they buy them under the cash for clunkers scheme?

This is more evidence that land for peace only ever results in misery. We pulled out of Sinai and it became a huge network of tunnels for terrorists to smuggle in weapons to kill israelis and we have to rely on egyptian goodwill to try and stop it. We pulled out of Lebanon & put Hizbollah into a position where they are capable of firing rockets into Israel and kidnapping soldiers. We pulled out of Gaza and the place became the Mecca for terrorists. They dig tunnels into military facilities and kidnap soldiers. They fire thousands of rockets at Israeli towns & cities. Whats going to happen if we give away the Golan, Judea & Samaria and divide Jerusalem? Every inch of Israel is going to turn into a terrorist training base. Peace is and always will be a myth. Until there is no more Israel there will never be peace no matter what we give the arabs and if they get their wish and destroy Israel then the arabs will just turn on each other just like they used to do until 1948 when they got a common enemy to point their guns at.

You said it better than I ever could. Thank you.
5. Its time

Iran is about to be nuclear. US will do nothing about carter style as he did not react to american hostage and denied the shah to crush the uprising. Its time to clear gaza and restore it to israel after it has been cleaned. UN should purchase part of sinai or jordan or s..a rabia to create a home for gazans. Goldstone will now be ostracized and shunned as he wrote a report based on background intimidation by hamas of witnesses even if he tried his best and furthur omitted the reason and right to defense of israelis who had been rocketed because of olmert's gutlessness and maimed and harmed. This report harms all democracies in the war on terror because no civilian is allowed to be killed. otherwise there is a un tribunal and all leaders will be tried. Look at the UN committee-libya and others , terror states calling the shots.
6. Take back the Philidelphi route and pump in sea water.

7. No wonder after the state gouges poor Israelis for car taxes
Josh   (09.17.09)
You can buy a two year old used Honda for the price of a brand new Honda in the US market. Why because we pay men NOT to work six days but to do kabbalah incantaions all day so Israel can provoke G-d with its magic. "you shall give G-d an original prayer" Thus our enemies are promoted higher and higher in the worlds eyes, make money smuggling cars and can cry to the UN about everything while we get the shaft. Recognize a curse when you see one.
8. The cars were
Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (09.17.09)
probably stolen in Europe...
9. if they can smuggle cars
Yael ,   Tel Aviv   (09.17.09)
then they can smuggle tanks, guns, rockets, suicide bomber's jacket, ect. that will later kill our children. This blockade is a joke, either do it right and stop all weapons from going in or lift this blockade and let the soldiers go home.
10. But They Have No Hospitals
emanon ,   USA   (09.17.09)
11. well well well palis steal from Egypt
ghostq   (09.17.09)
sweet it just showes the true nature of palis by acusing others they divert the attention but they r the mega thieves.
12. #1Willaim, U mean Gazans are trying to Fender for themselves
meir elazar   (09.17.09)
13. Its all a ruse. The cars are on container to smuggle GAS
meir elazar   (09.17.09)
into Gaza
14. #9 Yael - Just ask Gazans if the blockade is ineffective
meir elazar   (09.17.09)
Look at their unemployment and the price of smuggled good along with little money to pay the high prices. Those who can afford luxury cars are on the Hamas payroll which is bankrolled by Iran. From the perspective of the Gazans, this is just another corrupt govt. like Arafat's who steals the money from the people to indulge themselves. The Gazans made a major mistake voting for Hamas and they are paying for it big time. Also look at how they are hiding the entrances to tunnels under buildings, etc. It is not possible to eliminate all smuggling but making it so difficult and reducing the flow of arms to a trickle is doing the job. Also look at the number of tunnel collapses which kill the tunner operators. Furthermore look at the attacks on smugglers in Sudan convoy and the Iranian ship off the coast of Sudan. Those feats were absolutely enormous. So Yael, be more realistic in viewing how difficult it is to stop smuggling, how effective we really are, the impact of the blockade, and the potential of turning the Gazans away from Hamas seeing how much worse they are today.
15. what a "brutal occupation"
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (09.17.09)

16. Who can afford them?
