16. What a great day for peace!
Shlomo Kamera   (05.28.11)
A small step in the right direction for Gaza and the Palestinians-hooray!! Cool Haveavodka! Now apart from people and some humanitarian aid, Gaza is still blockaded with goods, services and more aid unable to get in, and totally blockaded from the Israeli side. That's why the June flotilla must break the illegal Israeli blockade. Which nations, apart from the USA and Canada support the Israeli blockade? BDS

19. it's a perfect day...
Marcelo ,   Berlin / DE   (05.28.11)
with the unilateral rafah crossing opened as an internal matter, egypt is telling the world that gaza has returned to egypt as was before 6 days-war in 1967. So, no "pal" has to go in Israel for health care, studies or work. No further services from Israel are needed in gaza. The only open point is what will happen when an israeli is killed in taba and how will Israel act against arab/muslim aggression. The "blockade" is over, so it is the whole paranoia from the "free world" against Israel...I am waiting for the first katiushka been fired from gaza because of the "occupation"...
20. No skin off our nose. Egypt soon to inherit the whole strip.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.28.11)
21. Israel must seal the border with Gaza.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (05.28.11)
Close the crossings, stop supplying electricity, no transfer of goods through Israel, cease supplying Israeli currency to Gaza banks. Dump this problem on Egypt, Gaza is now their responsibility.

27. the israel\ greece glotila on june 7
(05.28.11)
is still on. free free KURDISTAN!!!
28. Cut off gaza
John cone ,   USA   (05.28.11)
Close the Israeli borders with gaza and shut off all electricity and water from israel. The egypitians should be made responsible for gaza since it was part of Egypt. If rockets are fired again or attacks continue make sure that Egypt understands that they will face the consiquences and they are responsible for anything that happens in gaza against israel.
29. HAMAS WILL LOSE MONEY : )
Mark From Georgia ,   Georgia   (05.28.11)
Since all the smuggling was taking place with Egyptian approval, all this changes, is the smugglers are all out of business. Sweet! Since a huge portion of the Hamas income came from smuggling they just lost a income revenue stream. The fact is when Israel eased their restrictions all the smuggles were upset. You see they were selling Egyptian made Washers, dryers, etc., then suddenly the Pals could buy Israeli goods..They were better made, and cheaper. Then all of sudden the Pals in Gaza could buy Israeli made products. The smuggles got caught with an inventory of Egyptian goods they had to sell at a loss. So the smuggles were upset, They wanted the Israeli's to keep the restrictions, so they could keep gouging their own people. These are the stories you don't read about in the Main Stream Media. The subtle nuances that nobody wants to talk about, because it makes the Pals look bad. The fact is if they ever get a country what do you think it will look like? Like an American or Israeli Democracy, or more like the other Arab countries. The ones with dictators like Assad or Gaddafi? Look at Gaza, no freedom of the press, journalists are routinely threatened and intimidated along with their families, just for trying to tell the truth.
30. @ 29 Israeli Democracy?
Hakim ,   Palestine   (05.28.11)
Seriously? I think it's past time for someone to take Mark wackadoodle from Georgia to the happy home. He needs a nice soft room where no one can hear him blathering.
