Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (11.29.10)
THe first Gaza "export" should be Gilad Shalit. Until that day NOTHING should be allowed to leave Gaza. No strawberries, no flowers, no patients for Israeli hospitals. Nothing, Nada, Klum!

5. Good for them, but what kind of marketing slogan?
William ,   Israel   (11.29.10)
1) "Help us kill the Jews...buy our fruit" 2) "Our produce will do a jihad on your tongue" 3) "an absolute explosion of flavor from our produce" 4) "Help a native population get back on its feet and ensure a qassam and big screen TV in every home"
6. "a 40 year old father of 11 (children)"
William ,   Israel   (11.29.10)
that's part of the damn problem, right there.
7. Export
Ezra ,   Florida   (11.29.10)
So here is the list of the palestinians' theriving ecomoy/ export: 1- worldwide terrorism 2- Daily rocket "exported" to Israel 3- Strawberries By the way: no. 1, you are painfully RIGHT
8. HUH and HUH
Ahmed ,   Gaza   (11.29.10)
The same with you Ellen when you become very sick and cannot be treated in Israel but to travel to the USA and you are banned to do so.
9. Shalit is held by muslum terrorists in gaza and dim witted
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.29.10)
freaks in Israel allow ham-ass to ship out strawberries? Find the Israelis that agreed to this and put them in a mental institution.
10. If I find anyone eating these...
Andrew Brehm   (11.29.10)
I will tell them off. How dare they eat strawberries produced in Gaza while the poor people of Gaza are starving!
11. to #10
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (11.29.10)
Andrew, did you even bother to read the article? It says, "NO STARVATION, but constant deterioration". Berger says, "There is no disease and NO STARVATION in the streets."
12. #8 - I doubt Ellen would pretend to be a patient...
William ,   Israel   (11.29.10)
just to blow up a doctor or non-Israelis. You made your bed, now you complain to lie in it. Tough luck.
13. #11 - that's not what George Galloway says...
William ,   Israel   (11.29.10)
he says they are starving and in such need of aid....but a Sudanese official stated differently when he actually joined the Viva Palestina flotilla to Gaza. "Where is the siege? There is no siege in Gaza. I wish many Sudanese would have a siege like this".
14. Re #11
Andrew Brehm   (11.29.10)
Can you tell me what sarcasm is? Anyway, I didn't say that there is starvation in Gaza. I said I would tell people off for eating Gazan strawberries while people in Gaza are starving. Gazans don't have to be starving for me to tell people off over it.
15. Re #8 Ahmed
Andrew Brehm   (11.29.10)
Are you predicting that Israel will declare war on the US and commit a few terrorist attacks on American soil and therefor the US will now allow Israelis to travel to the US for medical reasons? Because I would understand the American decision in that case.
16. Strawberry exports
Shemtov ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.29.10)
Then, what about Gilad Shalit? Let them rot together with their strawberries! Am Israel Hai!!!
17. Well
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (11.29.10)
Never liked Beatles, always a Rolling Stone.
18. poisoned stroberries in Europe?No thanks
Anna M Sedda ,   italy   (11.29.10)

martin ,   uk   (11.29.10)
there are many arabs from surrounding countries who receive medical treatment in israel. during the troubles in the lebanon the good fence was opened to christian and moslem to receive medical treatment if israel. if you live in gaza, cry out to your moslem brethren to let you live among them. better still, gety a job instead of relying on free western donations. i certainly won't be buying your products. what trade name will you use? perhaps, rocket salad from gaza will take on a whole new meaning.
20. Yet another great title for a posting, YNET
Cameron ,   USA   (11.29.10)
I do get an amused kick out of seeing how you title these postings. You do have a talent in the matter.
21. #11 we all knew that since we published all the pictures of
(12.01.10)
them not starving
22. weird
Birdi ,   Israel   (12.02.10)
I guess the export of Gazan strawberries is a no-win situation. We have all be telling our brothers down yonder to sart working & building their economy. Now that they are trying to export their produce we are not being very supportive of them, are we?
