61. "a violation of human rights"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (01.16.10)
israel is violating the most basic of human rights in gaza: "the right to kill jews". how many parliamentarians visited sderot, or nahariya, and demanded war crimes charges against hamas or hezbollah, for over 10,000 individual and documented war crimes called "qassams", or for the thousands of rockets rained down northern israel from Lebanon? it is a genuine war crime to intentionally target civilians. where is israel's "hasbarah", that should be exposing this hamas publicity stunt for what it is, a ploy to protect the terrorists' "rights" to attack israelis?

Since we threw the British out of here in '48 there are no "Sirs" or "Lords" here, no new aristocracy and no degenerated princes. Only free citizens, Jewish or Arab, who speak their minds (we have a King George Street though)

LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (01.16.10)
Estimado Marco ,my dear Marco ,I am convinced that ,as a spaniard ,you have Jewish blood inside your veins .Perhaps much more than you could ever know.So please be proud and stand with us ,and don't be a nasty Jew like Senor Geraldo Kaufman from England. Israel is often at fault and far from perfect ,but we are not always evil .
65. Of course it is evil
Carter ,   Chicago, USA   (01.16.10)
What does this chumbalone, Kaufman, expect from a military dictatorship and a racist, apartheid regime - close U.S. allies and cornerstones of the American Empire in the Middle East.
66. #61 ..TOM YOU GOT IT RIGHT ! WHERE IS ISRAEL HASBARAH ??
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (01.16.10)
TOM, YOU GOT IT RIGHT ................." where is israel's "hasbarah", that should be exposing this hamas publicity stunt for what it is, a ploy to protect the terrorists' "rights" to attack israelis? " WHY HAVE ALL THE MANY ISRAEL GOVERNMENTS NOT UNDERSTOOD THIS YET ? TO USE HASBARAH OR MAYBE THEY DON'T GET IT. THEY WIN IN THE BATTLEFIELD AND LOSE IN THE WORLD OPINION BY LACK OF ANY CLEAR MESSAGE OF PROPER HASABARAH. THIS LACK OF HASBARAH BY ISRAEL IS NOW WAY OVER 25 YEARS.... YET WE MUST ADMIT, THAT EVEN WHEN ISRAEL TRIES TO GIVE INFORMATION, THE FOREIGN NEWS MEDIA DON'T COVER IT AS THEY HAVE ALREADY CHOSEN THE POOR UNDERDOGS, THE ARAB , " PALESTINIAN " SIDE. THIS WAS TOLD TO ME IN THE OFFICE OF A RENOWNED AWARD WINNING NEWSPAPER EDITOR. THE WORLD MEDIA SEES ARABS , " PALISTINIANS " AS THE POOR HELPLESS UNDERDOG THAT NEEDS THEIR HELP. THIS IS THE IMAGE THAT HAS TO CHANGE LIKE I SAID.....TOM, YOU GOT IT, AND I GOT IT, NOW THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT SHOULD WAKE UP AND GET IT.

Romy ,   London, UK   (01.16.10)
Gerald Kaufman is not a 'lawmaker.' He's a disgraced former MP who has a history of making disparaging remarks about Isael. He's a sad little man who wears floral suits and has no following in the UK. He's hardly anyone to make any waves anywhere - apart from his bath water.
68. Gaza Siege a "publicity stunt"?
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (01.16.10)
Two other words spring immediately to mind. I have to say, when you folks get the wake up call and the fall comes, there's really no one that deserves it more. There's really only just so long that you Israelis can have such a poor disregard for human life and human rights, eventually it is going to wind up biting you back so hard that no one on the planet will even bat an eyelash. Everyone will shrug and say, "So the f what, they friggin' deserved everything they got, remember Gaza!"

Resistor   (01.16.10)
Israel lets in about 150 trucks a day-Gaza needs around 500 trucks a day. Yes there IS a blockade David! The electricity gets turned off for 8 hours a day. The switch is in Israel David. A fan of collective punishment are you David? You are an idiot David. You tell the truth? Not even close!

" fascist pigs "???????? What kind of a Professor uses such language? Did you get your mickey mouse doctorate degree in a cereal box?
73. #16 Robert Haymond
Marco ,   Spain   (01.16.10)
" How do you think the USA learns about extremists and possesses such a large Watchlist? Websites. " Hey idiot, if that is meant as a threat, I want you to know that I am not intimidated niether by you nor by people much bigger than you. Anything that I say against Israel is supported by facts. When I claim that Israel is a criminal state, I have the United Nations to back me up on that with a report that was written by a zionist Jew called Goldstone. Have you idiot ever heard of him?
74. So international law is evil
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.16.10)
That is what that Limey moron proclaimed. Article 2 of the UN Charter "7. Nothing contained in the present Charter shall authorize the United Nations to intervene in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any state or shall require the Members to submit such matters to settlement under the present Charter; but this principle shall not prejudice the application of enforcement measures under Chapter VII." Guess what we have the RIGHT to impose a blockade for any reason we want. That is black letter law.

Ehud ,   TA   (01.16.10)
It's interesting that you wouldn't say about "the Palestinians" that they got what they deserved. It's only the possibility we may suffer which elicits such statements, which makes my point: you're a bloody racist! Don't u worry, we won't be in the position where u need to say:"they deserve it". That's the whole point of fighting back hard when someone shoots missiles at u
76. Gerald Kaufman is a Fraud
Dan Kelso   (01.16.10)
Why does this Kapo not realize Israel is dealing with evil. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/135543 PA Defends Right to Publicly Honor Terrorists Hana Levi Julian 1/15/10 The Palestinian Authority government is defending its practice of honoring terrorists who murder Israelis by naming public places and events in their honor. A city square in Ramallah was recently named after Dalal Mughrabi, the lead terrorist in a murderous attack on an Israeli bus traveling on the Coastal Road during the 1970s. Mughrabi, who was killed during the incident, led a team of several other terrorists in murdering 37 Israelis after hijacking the bus in 1978. Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu harshly condemned the action as incitement and this week protested to the United States, pointing out the continued hate and violence promoted by the PA through such events.

Are you playing stupid? The naval blocade by IDF is there in order to limit supply of arms to Hamas and other terrorist groups. It's not a blocade to starve civilians. The only real blocade in modern history was the one of Leningrad, and not even arch Jew-haters would compare Gaza to Leningrad.
79. Marco
Adam ,   UK   (01.16.10)
Oh dear, Marco. Goldstone said no such thing - although his "report" was replete with falsehoods. Marco, when will Sp[ain remove its fence (apartheid wall) around Ceuta and Melulla?
80. Kaufman has always been a far left jew hating jew
zionist forever   (01.16.10)
His views are about is important as George Galloways. Both a waste of space very few people take any interest in. Keep up the blockade until Hamas are submitted into surrender.

So, are Israelis. It is that simple.
82. Gerald Kaufman has long since been a Kook
Brian Hillman ,   London England h   (02.15.10)
GK's only claim to fame in the last 20 years apart from his bilious and embarrassing Israel bashing was his vociferous campaign against the high cost of CD's in the UK. He said the price was "evil". He is just a political masturbator, like George Galloway, friend of Saddam and Hamas and the wannabe suicide bomber, Baroness Tongue.
