The children of Gaza ARE suffering... at the hands of their Palestinian parents and leaders and under the watchful and ever so helpful eye of UNRWA.

Maguire can enter Gaza through the Egyptian border and bring all the aid she wants to the people of Gaza she thinks are suffering. The fact that she doesn't do that proves that she wants to slam Israel and couldn't care less about Arab children.

"Gaza kids are suffering" but not one word of the Israeli children - Druze and Jewish - living under a daily rocket barrage. Stop the joke and deport her

Maguire is correct. The children of Gaza do suffer, from two things: obesity and Hamas.

Gaza is a Muslim-Arab territory ruled by the thugs of Hamas, people who are in armed conflict with Israel. If this lady wants to help the children of Gaza she should demand to reach them through Eygpt, a neighboring Muslim-Arab country. But she wouldn't because her intent is to provoke Israel, not to help the children of Gaza!!!

as for her nobel peace prize she can put that where the sun doesn't shine ... this is not northern ireland ... so spare us the lecture ... and he line that this is all about the children is a complete bs lie, thats what you say when you are caught being an anti semite .. you try to hide behind the children ... what did this scum do for the Israeli children who went to bed worrying about rockets coming in their bedroom ... NOTHING ... this women is just anoither irish anti semite who wants publicity ... its 30 years since anyone cared what she said and you know what, she can wait another 30 ... if she cares about children, let her go to yemen to stop child brides instead of meddling in Israel ..

Should visit and attend Hamas training camps and report that to Amensty Int. But this is not gonna happen...Those sick leftist love dead jews (in concentration camps) but can't cope with the fact that the jewish people is not only part of a museum but it is alive and kicking... For them Israel is a pain in the a...and they will have to cope with the reality of a strong Israel until the end of they lives. Their suffering will be long and painful...

Zuhair Mohsen, a Palestinian leader of the pro-Syria as-Sa'iqa faction of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) between 1971 and 1979, is perhaps most widely known in the West[citation needed] for having made the following statement in a March 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw[2]: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism. "For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan."

Why don't you aim your efforts at Hamas for causing the suffering of both Palestinians children and Israeli children?

Fetch me my violin .I could care less about "suffering kids" in Gaza. Blame their own hateful leadership named Hamas .I have news for this bleeding heart jew hating Irish woman....kids are suffering everywhere,even in Israel. By the way ,Israel should imprison her for the rest of her life.

If Ms .Maguire decides one way to be completely honest with herself she will admit that she simply hates jews.Otherwise ,there are approx .200 countries where kids are suffering .Let her go campaigning to one of these.

According to official statistics on poverty in Ireland complied by the Irish Central Statistics Office, "children remained the most at risk age group in 2008 with an at risk of poverty rate of 18%". Source: http://www.cso.ie/releasespublications/documents/silc/Current/silc.pdf, page 6

This wonderfull 'human gesture makes your eyes fill with tears. Exept the "children in Gaza ( who suffer by choise, because of their parents hate and indoctrination), there are another few million children who are 'realy suffering and not by choise. Why doesn't this 'laureate hypocrite' board a flotilla and help them?

As an Irish citizen and non jewish holder of an Israeli passport let me say I totally agree with the decision to not allow Mairead Maguire to enter Israel. To save the Children ???? let her return to Ireland and support the abused children by he Catholic church. Another woman who has disappeared behind the once again not so peaceful process in Ireland and wants to jump into the limelight and gain a few extra bucks With all the pro palistinen support coming from Ireland ( from where it comes I do not really understand) I must say I am proud to hold an Israeli passport and embrassed to hold an Irish passport May the state of Israel succed in their oullook in the peace process and if it fails be stong in proctecting their (my) country

she should not be allowed back for at least 20 years...

She wants to make Aliyah. Ireland is sinking / bankrupt.

maguire is othing but a trouble maker, hypocrit who joins the anti- israel movement, for the sake of it. why no be different ,for a change , ms. maguire and stand up for the jewish kids who were orphaned by the murderous ,barbaric homocide- bombers from hamastan?

Nope, as a tax payer I refuse to pay for her prison stay in Israel. Its best for this exuse of a peace activist to be deported from Israel & not be allowed ever again to enter Israel for the rest of her miserable life.

and suicide attacks??????????

suffering under Hamas rule, taught to wage jihad from birth, she should appeal to them. alas, it's much easier to blame Israel when ascribing to false narratives

traitors and Israeli leftists.

And don't you come back no more..

Maguire is a loser with a Nobel Prize. Vanunu is a loser who has been nominated for a Nobel Prize. She might wave her prize as a badge of honor and mistakenly think it makes her above Israeli laws. If she refuses to leave she is a criminal and so she should be locked up in solitary until she agrees to go. The woman is neither a jew or an Israeli citizen just a trouble making political activist. Israel was created to be a country where jews would be running the show making their own laws because we had enough trouble makers in the diaspora who thought they were above the jews. This is our country and if we don't want her she has no right to be here. If she wants to see palestinian children they go to Egypt cross at Raffah into Hamastan and you can go play with kids at the new water park. Maybe buy them some toys in the mall. Best of all she will be awarded a Hamastan passport given to people who THINK that they are VIPS. When he met with her Vanunu was once again breaking the terms of his parol as he is not allowed to meet with foreigners. His Shin Bet organized accident is long overdue.

...yet, the lady interested in children didn't sound a single voice against this act of terror against children, nor did she come to Israel to "assist", to be with these Jewish children of working people in towns and in farming communities. Are Jewish children less important, lady...??!!

and you should respect it. Not respecting it is like not respecting Israel's sovereignty, which obviously you, together with Hamas, don't. That is why we have no interest in having you here with us in our national home, the historic homeland of the Jewish people.

obviously she feels that jewish children are not entitled to the same human rights as arab children. she should be tied, along with her nobel prize, to the outside of a shelter in sderot, so that she can both learn of the actions of the "poor gazans" and help protect jewish childen from tthe qassams. perhaps when she sees that hamas wants for nothing, not even qassams, she may come to her senses and stop supporting terrorists and their war crimes.

Why doesn't she put her money where her mouth is? And I mean that literally. Do you know what this phony did with her Nobel Prize cash award? She kept it. Not one thin dime was donated to anyone, anywhere. She's a fraud and a phony.
