there are PLENTY of goods and services in 'Aza! Check the arabic sites!! SECOND....Yerushalayim has never been important to Islam, NEVER. Only when it was political...this is the only time. this is why the Hajj is in mecca! Third...no NON_ISLAMI can go to mecca...talk about racist biggot and apartheid.

What a pathetic bunch of self deluded losers

Hand over Gilad Shalit and the siege will end. Magic.

If their is no seige, then please open the gates and let ALL the trucks in with food, medicine, education matarials and building supplies. Please leave the electricity on 24/7 Please help get the sewrage system going again. Please do not have drones criss-crossing the skies. Please don't shoot the farmers and fisherman who are trying to eak out an existance. Take down the fence. Their is no seige Rachel, so you can do all of these things now, can't you?

she'd give that fat terrorist what he deserves.

Noa says there IS a siege. Maybe you should fight him?

Remain? It has never been islamic. What a bunch of deluded morons. And by the way, what is an MK doing supporting Hamas? Try the bugger for treason and ship him to Gaza--see how he likes it there. One can only hope this idiots vanish into Gaza never to be seen again.

This is essentially what "land for peace " means. Whatever blackmail the terrorists make, there will be some leftist politician who will pay even more. This began with beillin and continues today.

Can somebody explain me why this anti Israeli MK is not sued for treason? It's not only that he has contacts with declared enemies of the state, he also helps them make propaganda! This is not democracy, this is being stupid! People have to choose sides in life, you cannot be Israeli and Hamas at the same time! That means that if you prefer Hamas you are out of Israel (leave alone being MK)

I didn't see an Israeli flag behind the Arab Knesseth members. I think they should get what they seem to long for. In the framework of a peace agreement with the Palestinians all Arab villages close enough should be included into a free Palestinian state. This does not require moving any Arab citizen from his home or property (which wouldn't be right). They simply would exchange the hated blue-and-white flag for their beloved Palestinian one, the loathed Star of David for the proud Palestinian Eagle - and, of course, the citizenship in that terrible racist state for the privilege to be a citizen in an independent Pakestinian state under a Hamas prime minister (or whatever they chose). That should be fun for all of us!

Even with the Ottoman census in the 1840s, there were more Jews in OUR city than Muslims- only 5000 of them. Jerusalem under Islamic rule was a neglected backwater of no importance. It wasn't an important political, religious, or commercial city. Now suddenly they decide that it's theirs? Nope. Not in this universe. Jerusalem belongs to the nation of Israel- exclusively. If the Muslims won't accept that then they shouldn't even be allowed to visit OUR city, and if you have a problem withthat, then surely you should have an even bigger problem with Mecca and medina, where no "infidels" can visit no matter what. After they change their policy, get back to me.

her other name (of jerusalem) is zion.

Wanna bet ?

...Counter demonstrations always suggest the opposite point of view.Unless there is a popular revolution ,as in Iran the success rate will be minimal.Better to stay in doors and watch the T.V,no matter how bad the program is !

They are'nt stupid to exchange a life in a democratic country , where they enjoy the full liberties , for a dictatorial hamas led place . I have seen some today in my town's mall . Not people ready to loose their life standards .

There was a free , or almost free , circulation between the strip and Israel . In both side's advantage . They undermined this by sending their suicide bombers and other murderers . Their own fault .

this was certainly not true during Jordan's illegal occupation of the Jewish capital , Yeroushalaim . The Saudi ruler , a "good" Muslim i think , did'nt even pay a visit to this supposed "holy" site for him . And don't come with political "reasons" behind this . Jews have suffered to visit there , had Yeroushalaim in their prayers and said every year at the end of the Seder : Next Year in Yeroushalaim .

Each people get the leaders it deserves, Israel had taken the wrong path, influenced by its bias media in connection with a stupid leftist peace movement. So much energy is wasted on fighting the so called “enemy” the settlers. The real threat, its wanton destruction by her real enemies Iran and the Arab world was denounced.But the worst enemy comes from within and thats where we have to start wih the clean up.

First, start by paying your bills, for example for electricity supplied to you by Israel. Secondly, start doing any useful work, learning terrorism and islam based hatred is not that. And, of course, you realize peace for peace is the basis. otherwise you just go deeper out of your own wish. By the way: Jerusalem since always was, is and will be the city of Jews, though important as well to us Christians. In Koran there is no mention about the city. As simple as this.

will have to kiss even Al-Aksa goodbye.

Israel controls the Egypt gate too, as well as the USA. Go call Tel-Aviv and Washington, and tell them Rachel says the seige is over! Open the gates now!

The faithless secular Jews,the grasshoppers in power, will continue help you as they have been doing for so long. Maybe they will even supply the Islamic terrorists they release with weapons as they leave prison ?

excellent reason to transfer all arabs from within the green line to me. the sooner the better. the arabs should go to arab countries. the arabs that love and support Israel as the Jewish state that it is should be welcome to stay. This is the reality.

Even if you bend down and kiss their feet they won't stop attacking you and hating you. Their religion teaches them to fight the enemy until islam dominates and the unbelievers are subdued. That is why every conflict around the world involves muslims fighting a multitude of different non muslim entities. The more you bow to your enemies the bolder they will get until they fulfil allahs will of killing/subduing unbelievers. An enemy does not need compassion; an enemy needs to be fought without mercy. Israel can’t afford to lose even once; it’s always fighting for its sheer existence. No state embattled and surrounded by enemies could survive if the state was constantly assaulted from within. Yes it is a human tragedy, instigated by the same Palestinian fanatics for the past 60 years that take their people as hostages and human shields to fight Israel. Those people will never agree to a Jewish State, so it is as simple as that: It`s them or us.

When I see the signs calling the Siege a horrible crime, with pictures of poor kids...I have to laugh. In this same edition, a report by an Egyptian daily lays out how much money Gazans and Sinai residents make off smuggling. They prove the reason Hamas pushes attacks in order to keep the siege going - about 186,000 reasons per day, per tunnel! Simple economics - if you don't have customers, you don't have an economy. If Gazans don't have money or food, then smuggling would have died quickly rather than blossomed into a billion $$$$ business!

"Take down the fence" - what fence? you mean the one around Gaza because it is NOT a part of Israel, just like Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan aren't Israel? Or do you mean the small fence built next to the West Bank, to deter the hundreds of terrorists that did target civilians, and the same that dropped crime by "Pals" by 95%. The same fence that Jenin mayor applauded for driving criminals from his own city. "Leave electricity on 24/7" - It is on, and it pisses me off. It should be cut off permanently. Let them smuggle it in from Egypt. "Sewgae system" - you mean the one where Hamas dug up the pipes for raw materials used in rockets targeting civilians? THAT sewer system?? "Don't shoot farmers and fishermen" - you mean the same that enter closed military zones (and turn out to be terrorists in civilian clothes) or those pretending to be fishermen and making money smuggling weapons off the coast?? "Food, medicine, education materials..." - except for building supplies, they all get through and the UNWRA warehouses are stuffed full. Building supplies are blocked because Hamas has already taken some shipments to build bunkers, systems for more war, not to help residents. Isn't that why Hamas had nearly anyone at the Cast Lead celebrations? No one cared, because no one thinks Hamas won, or does anything to help them. Hamas has also kept humanitarian aid from its people, threatening to take their tickets away, or selling it to them for a profit. Resistor - you're a moron. Israel does not have to open one border with Gaza, not one. It is their right as a sovereign entity, just like Turkey won't open a border with Armenia. Ask Egypt why they want to keep the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas) out of their country - and see why it has less to do with Gazans and more with Arab power play politics and terrorism.
