They will
4. blaming
yousif ,   Gaza   (06.23.10)
Yes ,we blame Israel for this critical problem ,because as we the Gazan original residents were living in Peace with limited people , Israeli people came to palestine and enforced palestinian people whom were living in their villages and cities to flee their houses and came to Gaza .... our life became unbelivable ... why we are suffering alot but others no even the rest of the palestinian no body ask what about these vulnarable people (original people) we became like the indian in USA
5. In case..
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.23.10)
that you didn't notice, such things are happening all over the world. Everywhere you have rich and poor people. It is strange, that Israel is not held responsible for that fact too.

John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.23.10)
Of course you are blaming Israel. You are blaming Israel for everything. And you are angels? No guilt on your side for the situation you are in? Always blame somebody else for the misery you're in, right?
7. Pals Starving To Death
Fred Coppal ,   Canada   (06.23.10)
Wow what a crock of dung. The World needs to see more pics of their beaches because I am sure that no kurds are living like this and for damn sure the thousands of STARVING AFRICANS and dying on a daily basis do not live like this. Come on United Nations who are you kidding THERES NO STARVING PEOPLE HERE their all FAT and livng better lives then most in the World and they dont even WORK for a living as everything is GIVEN TO THEM. THE UN is a SICK ENTITY
8. more like normal life everywhere
JO   (06.23.10)
10 shekels for a chair and shade on a beach is a dream to me. Rich and poor are always with us. The middle too. It is more to do with how many children you have and what you do for a living and make as a salary. This article makes Gaza look like a pretty normal place. I had to work in the heat, no time for the beach. As to no electricity. That's all Palestinian- the PA and Hamas fight a lot.
9. The beach
HANNAH ,   ny,usa   (06.23.10)
I also used to bring blankets and food to the beach. Apparently, according to Gazan standards, I was poor.
10. #4 - Jews were living in peace too until Turks fell
William ,   Israel   (06.23.10)
then suddenly, the "peaceful" Arab neighbors started massacring their long-time Jewish neighbors at the behest of their Grand Mufti. Suddenly, the foundation of Arab racism came alive and hasn't subsided yet. I can tell you are either very young or not a local of Gaza because the period of Gaza under Egyptian rule was harsher and more desperate than it was under Israel where jobs, infrastructure, and free movement were given to Gazans before their Hamas terror war began in 1987. You now have the chance to build your own State in Gaza, yet you back a govt who's sole purpose is to destroy Israel. Do you expect to really have peace when you teach hate?
11. Leftists won't be happy until every Gazan has big TV
William ,   Israel   (06.23.10)
If just one Gazan has to go without a big screen TV then the Leftists and Pro-Palestinians will say they are being oppressed. Leftists demand all of the special rights for their special groups around the world...at the expense of someone else. However, the situation in Gaza mimics every other location around the world - different levels of wealth and education, whether in Gaza, or Paris, or San Francisco. Best way to solve this is through the Obama fund redistribution program. Heavily tax the wealthy and give to the less educated, less motivated in order to even out the social playing field so no one feels worse than anyone else.
12. Yousif
NEWYORKONE   (06.23.10)
Sorry, Yousif, there is no such thing as a Palestinian people. Check your history books, those which were not edited by Hamas. The Jews are the indigenous inhabitants of the Land of Israel, Palestine is an alien name given to the land by the Roman conquerors, the Arabs first came as conquerors in the 7th century, but never, never, developed an independent state or nationality called Palestine. As for the unbelievable conditions in which you live, don't you think it's time to stop the blame game, and build lives for yourselves and your families? Israel also started out with millions of refugees in 1948, and built a modern state. You could do the same thing, if you'd give up trying to destroy Israel. You have to love yourselves more than you hate us!
13. "brutal" occupation they got goin' on there, eh?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.23.10)
evil zionists forcing them to charge for beach bungalows. PALESTINE SHOULD BE FREE! (lol !!)
