31. Occupy ?
Sagi   (10.25.10)
Isn't that against international law ? Would Israel have the right of "resistance". Maybe we could send in some "freedom fighters" to blow up a couple of buses and a mall or two. Perhaps we could get a whole party in a hotel at a Ramadan celebration, 40 or so, you know, just like Seder night in Natanya. The only "occupation" that they will ever have is their minds which are occupied with destruction instead of construction.
32. You must....
Edu ,   Argentina   (10.25.10)
put your glasses before you take your pills.
33. No!, Hamas would never have said occupy, but return
observer   (10.25.10)
34. "Occupy" is the correct word...
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
the same way Arabs have occupied Gaza, Jerusalem, Hebron, etc. they now want to take Haifa and other Jewish cities. The key term here is "occupy" meaning, "create an occupation" indicating that indeed the cities, past and present, are Jewish and we need to shake the Arab invaders out for there to be any peace. Keep in mind, it was Hamas that admitted freely that Gush Katif was 100% Jewish land when they celebrated "driving out the Zionists" from Gaza. Atleast Hamas has the right story....why doesn't the PA and Eurotrash Left?
35. "with armies from all over the world"
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
I guess Hamas is referring to the foreign useful idiots in ISM, Peace Now, b'tselem, etc. because the other Arabs aren't coming to their defunct cause anymore.
36. #7 - isn't it the Left who demands concessions to Arabs?
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
Despite the govt being Rightist now...it was the Left that drove us into this quagmire with many fruitless concessions to Arabs, like Oslo Accords, arming the "Palestinians", a midnight withdraw from Lebanon, etc. It's the Left that drives anti-nationalist rhetoric in our schools. It was Aloni Shulamit who basically called all Israelis scum because they didn't give in to Arab demands for Apartheid laws that favor them. It was the Left that still consider Rabin a god despite his bringing PLO terrorists BACK to the region. And, despite Leftist demands for concessions, it was ALWAYS a rightist govt that made the painful concessions and made peace. I could go on Avi, but you get the point. Leftist history in Israel is dripping in blood.
37. #13 - how is this different that 2007 declaration?
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
Hamas made a very clear declaration of war against Israel in 2007 resulting in the legal war time blockade on Gaza now. How is this threat anything more than a continuation of their war? And this IS war, so please Israel, beat the crap out of Hamas already.
38. #24 - because Hamas really screwed up Gaza
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
they want a do-over in another city in order to prove themselves. But since they need to start with a successful city with a built-in infrastructure, they have set their sites on Jewish ones. There's no more infrastructure to rip up in Gaza.
39. #29 - Barak might just drive them to Haifa
William ,   Israel   (10.25.10)
another concession that would get Labor approval out-right.
40. This infintile idiot sounds like....
David H ,   Cape Town South Afr   (10.25.10)
a grade 8 pupil giving his interpretation of poetry. Ho hum..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
41. to Dave@#2
Jennie ,   US/Israel   (10.25.10)
Oh yeah good ol' jimmy: What didn't he or wouldn't he promiss to get a little exposure and some good old and fake TLC from the world...The truth is, that we might sooner see chamas to do what it does best-terror acts towards Israel and the world, then a ritual gathering of chamas elders with carter by a fire, roasting chestnuts and singing kumbaya and "we are the people..."
42. Just try it mr Jihadi
Krzysztof ,   Warsaw, Poland   (10.25.10)
and you will see, which armies will be moving where to...
43. Will anyone explain why
Marcella   (10.25.10)
Israel prevents Gazans from emigrating? What's the logic behind it? They are reproducing at an extremely high rate, with more generations growing under conditions of political indoctrination and no prospects for jobs or normal lives. What does Israel think it's doing by preventing them from leaving Gaza? Why not provide them with assistance, travel documents, and boats so that they can go to those nice places where they are loved so much.
44. To: No. 43
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.25.10)
Gazans are technically citizens of Egypt. I do not know why Egypt does not issue passports; or perhaps it is a question of Hamas forbidding people to leave.
45. I wonder which 'armies from all around the world'
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.25.10)
Won't be Egypt - they know that we have whipped them 4 times in a row and they hate Hamas. Same for Jordan. That leaves who - Lebanon - big scare there, Syria - guess they don't want Damascus anymore. Iran - well they have never won a fight and are 2,000 km away. The rest of the world ain't going to fight for them, nor could they get here if they wanted. Pretty pathetic threat, but we can consider the source too.
46. ynet is loosing its journalism honor
muhannad ,   jerusalem/palestine   (10.25.10)
as a journalist, i know for a fact that honor of journalism is directly related to speaking the truth, when you quote someone you don't change anything, Mr.Hamad said " we will liberate haifa and akka" NOT " we will reoccupy haifa and akkO".
47. Further to my TB #43 - latest Arab poll
Marcella   (10.26.10)
Israpundit article "Over a Million Palestinian Arabs want to leave their Homeland" tells of latest poll: 37% of Gazans, and 24% of West Bankers, say either that they “certainly seek to emigrate” or “seek to emigrate” from the territories. With adequate assistance from Israel, a significant number of Arabs, including Gazans, would choose to live elsewhere. Why isn't Israel helping them?
48. #46 They have already been liberated!
Malkiel ,   Jewish Jerusalem   (10.26.10)
Now we have to terminate illegal arab occupation of Gaza, Judea and Samaria, G-d willing speedily in our days!
49. :: Sure - #46. It is like Islam really means Peace.
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.26.10)
280 million victims, 100 million enslaved, countless advanced civilizations destroyed and turned into dust, all show how peaceful Islam is. Now you see why when Arabs proclaim something no one believes you.
50. Are you SURE he said "occupy " ?!!!!!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.26.10)
Fathi Hammad for "Israel" is A 'Man Of Peace' !!!!
51. Remote sighted dreamer! Good for his health.
Daniel ,   Israel, Haifa   (10.26.10)
Has satisfaction of saying some thing!
52. #46- By rhe way...
Ed ,   Argentina   (10.26.10)
as journalist, doesn't it sounds stupid?
53. !
muhannad ,   jerusalem/palestine   (10.26.10)
not really, whats stupid is that your forgetting the main point.
54. !!
muhannad ,   jerusalem/palestine   (10.26.10)
so you are supporting and provoking killing Palestinians?! you are an example of what we talk about when we say israel is against peace.
