2. "No steal"
Mark Parity ,   Hollywood, US   (06.21.10)
There's no shortage of steal in the gaza strip. When Hamas stops stealing from the international donors and take the money for itself, its terrorists, and its weapons, there won't be poverty. Yeah, there's no shortage of "steal". [sic]. Illiterate reporters untie. M
3. Blockade is ILLEGAL siege isILLEGAL both MUST end!
lydia ,   Brisbane   (06.21.10)
4. Blockade and siege both legal: Lydia must end occupation
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.21.10)
Funny how the occupiers from around the world like to dictate to us. Sorry, Lydia, but you're an illegal occupier on aboriginal land - go back to Europe where you came from! And, of course, go to law school to learn something about international law. The blockade against illegal weapons used in war crimes against Israel is perfectly legal. "... the [Goldstone] report contains the clearest finding that Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups committed serious war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity. The acceptance of those findings by the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly has been ignored completely..." Richard Goldstone, Interviewed by Ha'aretz, Nov 13 2009
5. made Israel our enemy...
Yosef Yankelev, M'S ,   palm beach, USA   (06.21.10)
This man is a certifiable paranoid schisophrenic, full of hate and scorn- also loves to hear himself talk -- on account of reasonable Jews and Gentiles alike
6. UNRWA?!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (06.21.10)
unrwa is staffed and controlled almost 100% by "palestinians", including known, card-carrying members of terrorist groups. why should anyone care about THEIR opinion of israel's defense needs?
7. More Appeasement
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (06.21.10)
Back in 2007 and 2008 I called for a complete shutoff. Egypt should handle Gaza we have no responsibility for Gaza we are not occupying Gaza. Gaza is more of a threat if Fatah is in control because then they will want a land corridor. Why wait 2 years I say immediately cut off Gaza from everything from the Israeli side let them get their stuff from Egypt and the sea. What Israelis doing now is appeasement. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
8. How can you build homes and factories without steal/concrete
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.21.10)
The main things needed in Gaza is homes and factories/jobs. If you can not import supplies or export goods its very hard to run companies or employ people. There is also a shortage of schools, even more so at higher levels or Universities. Many in Hamas are willing to talk and deal but that put PA and US peace plans at risk. Hamas is dangerous but they also have few options with most of leadership in Israel prisons last 4yrs.
9. Humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.21.10)
The reality is there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and there are no starving children. Aid continues to flow through the crossings. This year alone over 366,282 tons of aid and over 45.693 million liters of fuel have been delivered to the Gaza Strip. Several weeks ago, 674 truckloads (16,323 tons) of humanitarian aid were transferred to the Gaza Strip via the Kerem Shalom cargo terminal and the Karni conveyor belt. In addition to food, medicine and hygiene products, games, basketballs and balloons, trampolines and swimming pools, generators, air-conditioning accessories, clothing, shoes and hats, chairs, mattresses and Styrofoam cups; and raw materials for paper production were all transported into Gaza. But does Hamas want peace? : http://xrl.us/bezuyy
10. #1 Are you tripping again?

11. #3
Dina   (06.21.10)
Actualy Blockade is legal and so is siege, if it is to protect your citizens. - I would check international laws if I were you. (and by the way if you bother to learn about all of the facts so was the boarding of the fotilla). Funny how so many of you write taht Israel should lift the siege and open the borders. So prey tell: 1. How to stop the terrorists? maybe do what Turkey does just go in and bomb them? Or what Nato has done have an all out no sympathy war? 2. How come they can't get what they need from Egypt, their mother country? 3. How do you suggest the citizen of Gaza should go about getting a job food and schooling if Hammas will not allow for a normal life? You all sit there ion your armchairs half way across the world throwing comments but not thinking it through.
12. UNRWA
Ian Jos ,   Toronto Canada   (06.21.10)
Ah, so the United Nations Rhetoric Warehousing Association says that Israel should end its blockade of Gaza. This just reinforces the idea that Israel is acting in a necessary and legal manner to protect itself and should continue to do so at all cost.
13. Blair: define banned items, not the permitted ones
observer   (06.21.10)
Tony Blair said in a statement Israel would publish a list of weapons and war items not permitted into Gaza rather than those permitted, and allow full access of civilian goods. At present, Israel allows into Gaza only 114 items. The concealed list of banned items contains tens of thausands items. The Wassenaar Arrangement?, it aims at banning export of things that can be used to make WMD. WA is based on on the transparency of national export control regimes; does Israel have enough credibilty in terms of transparency? The message is "Jews may determine whether Gazans live or die". There is nother thing; the value of the thing being blockaded is fairly small when weighed against the potential cost of blockading it. This undermines the political legitimacy of Israel’s blockade and makes the enforcement of the blockade a potential liability for Israel on the world stage, particularly when the blockade is challenged.
14. # 3, lydia
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.21.10)
Newsflash: three Australian soldiers killed in helicopter crash in Afghanistan. What are you doing there? Everything legal, moral? It is so easy to preach the others, isn't it?
15. dfense official, "We are hopeful" -- that's a strategy?
Rafael ,   USA   (06.21.10)
Better would be to start telling the world that the gaza IS AT WAR with Israel, and that the pal people ARE THE ENEMY.
16. "the threat of weapon" is the best way of legitimizing war
yyeliz ,   istanbul TR   (06.28.10)
It is all the same story in Iraq in Gaza ..... some "big brothers" are suspecting that there are dangerous!!! weapons in somewhere else in the world and then uses its own real and the dangerous weapons, bombs to raze that region and all the inhibantants there just incase if they had some guns!! I fed up with this story. Please be honest and tell that there are many interest with razing them. do not beat around the bush.
