Al   (04.20.10)
3. We have to stay out of Gaza and let them make their own bed
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.20.10)
I dunno what drugs Chaya is on, but no way should we ever go back to Gaza other than to neutralize security threats. Israel needs Gaza back like we need another hole in our heads.
4. Chaya, the people of Gaza VOTED Hamas into power.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (04.20.10)
Democracy has it's pros and cons. Ask America.
5. Someone must not have paid the bribe to the right person
Michael Hess aka BS ,   Charlotte, NC   (04.20.10)
6. one step in the right direction
jerusalem   (04.21.10)
the misuse of drugs arent a way out. it actually numbs, thereby upholding and eventually worsening the situation from the side of israel. money for drugs for this type of use and cigaretts to a population where even basic medical supplies and any type of economic stability are restricted, is a shameful and depressing waste.
7. Should Have ...
Christy ,   Boston, US   (04.21.10)
taken them to the Gazan hospital and given them to the pharmacy. Let the doctors in the Gazan hospital decide who needs the drug. Doctors are better qualified than any others to decide who needs drugs and who doesn't. Tramadol, used correctly by doctors, is a great drug for people in pain. Just because some mis-use it, doesn't mean it has no use and should be destroyed.
8. Promise them free Tramadol
David ,   New England   (04.21.10)
If they overthrow Hamas, recognize and live in peace with Israel.
9. SOME MEDICINES WERE MADE TO CHANGE GENETICS OF PEOPLE
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (04.21.10)
10. #7 - Wisdom !
Shajan ,   India   (04.21.10)
Your suggestion would have been what most people would have done, but unfortunately, Hashem has not given wisdom to them, so they burnt it - Good for the companies making them. Gaza gulped 1.7 million Tramadol in one go. Bring in the next lot.
11. No cigs? No Tramado? Just study the koran and you will be so
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.21.10)
