1. 600k??
jeremy ,   canada   (10.19.11)
for a people who are supposedly impoverished and in need of flotillas to rescue them from such horrendous hardships, where does the hamas government get 600k dollars to spend frivolously? not to mention having a "4 star" resort in the strip!! impoverished and in need my a**!!
2. Wow, look at the disastrous situation in Gaza
Mikey   (10.19.11)
A hotel without room-service. The horror. Luxurious hotels, enough money to give to terrorists. They absolutely need another flotilla, what a crisis.
3. Where is Catherine Asston, to shake their

hands...???
4. I thought that in Gaza there was no money
zionist forever   (10.19.11)
Abbas is always dreaming up a new excuse to scrounge more western money on the grounds that without it the PA can't afford to pay its employees although I have never seen anybody amongst the PA top brass who is short of a couple of million. Hamas claim everybody in Gaza is broke because Israel is destroying theGaza economy through the blockade but they are building new 5 star hotels and they have $588,000 to give terrorists a nice vacation. Its time the west stopped wasting money on this bunch of crooks and instead use it to spend on their own people some of whom are living in poverty.

shlomo   (10.19.11)
20% of Gazans enjoy the good life, while 80% are impoverished, suffer from malutrition, and are oppressed by the Israelis. You are a blockhead Jeromy, ready to spew forth the Regev propaganda. Why don't you get a real man's name?
6. Al-Mashtal beach hotel
Ivan ,   South Africa   (10.19.11)
Best terrorist training camp I have seen to date.
7. Good for them.
Ali ,   Washington, DC   (10.19.11)
After decades in captivity in Israel's dungeons they deserve a few good days of R&R. Congratulations to all, including Shalit.
8. shlomo / 5
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.19.11)
What a crock. They are oppressed by their own leaders. What irony somebody with a name like yours is suggesting somebody else get a real mans name and calling THEM a blockhead.
9. Gaza poor??
peggy ,   israel/uk   (10.19.11)
do any of them look emancipated to you? they are obese if anything. No Money, well enough for luxury homes and hotels and a brand new shopping mall....poor Gaza in poverty. they do keep certain neighbourhoods poor for propaganda, can't let the outside world know how the rich live!

Texan   (10.19.11)

That a diffrent between Israel and you .. Israelis love life Palestinian arab love died ,, Am Yisrael Chai!!!!
11. @5
Jeremy ,   canada   (10.19.11)
so what your saying "shlomo" is that you would prefer to see 600k go for hotels and some R&R for convicted terrorists (who by the way continue to spew there hatred and call for school children to follow in their footsteps of "martyrdom") instead of going to help the 80% of the impoverished ones? in the end its a better return on investment i guess. show thousands of schoolchildren that its better to be a bomb then get a PROPER education. For Hamas this simply means less money to spend on missiles and guns when you have human bombs that come vastly cheaper. Secondly, I have absolutely no idea what your talking about in terms of the Regev propaganda as I do not live in the region (which you might have noticed had you not been so narrow minded in your response). Perhaps this forum is not for such geniuses as yourself. I would highly recommend that you rethink your mindset and please, if your going to attempt to insult someone in a forum that may be a little too above your name calling, then at least spell the name of the person you're addressing, properly!! good day sir.
12. #7, Ali, we will get you...mark my words:
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (10.19.11)
we will GET you...
13. #5Yes let blame the Israeli's
Danny ,   USA   (10.19.11)
Yes lets blame the Israeli's for everything. Not only are many arabs actually taken care of but prefer ISrael, but they get close to billions of dollars which they all piss away on terrorism. Israelis started out with nothing, and look what they've built. Why can't the arabs do the same?? Because they focus on death while ISraelis focus on life. AND even if some one is poor do to the fault of another, there is absolutely no justification for blowing yourself up and taking others with you. No comparison between the 2. Plus there are plenty of poor Israelis. I don't see them going around killing people and that you can actually pin on the arabs. Taxes are so high in Israel do to all the security and army needed
14. enjoy while it lasts
Guy ,   Canada   (10.19.11)
After this, it's off to their broken, corrupted hell hole of a territory. No bitching for cable tv and whole chickens here boys. Just lay back and enjoy the stones and bark for all your meals
15. #5 and #7
Kayla ,   Florida   (10.19.11)
#5-- your name represents wisdom. How can you "spew" such garbage? #7 -- "Israel's dungeons" you say? Make that ARAB dungeons. Take a good, hard look at the pictures. Do the freed terrorists look pale, frail, and malnourished? Compare them with Gilad Shalit. They look good to me. No one expressed concerns about getting medical attention for them BECAUSE THEY WERE TREATED FAR, FAR BETTER AND WITH CARE BY ISRAEL--TOO GOOD BY ISRAEL. They should have been shot on the spot.
16. good for them
socal_maverick ,   sunny so-cal   (10.19.11)
17. @5/ Chilom-Moe.
Yossef ,   France   (10.19.11)
Any connection with " The Three Stoodges" ?
18. But they just came from 5 star hotels in Israel and
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.19.11)
they are going on more all expense paid vacations again!!! I think they have learnt well from HRH Queen Michelle O.
19. Now I believe there is a humanitarian crisis.
Vlad   (10.19.11)
I see where Hamas spends all the aid.
20. Shalit looked like a Holocaust survivor...
David ,   Hartford USA   (10.19.11)
and the released terrorists looked like they just came back from vacation. Israel must treat terrorist prisoners in the same manner as Shalit was treated. And terrorists convicted of murder must be executed. NEVER let a convicted murderer free to murder again.
21. #7
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.19.11)
yeah.... after decades in "in Israel's dungeons".... I have only to look at Gilad and on the released murderers and I see at once, who demand WHOLE CHICKEN and who didn't get enough food....
22. if hamas start another war,this hotel will be a nice targuet
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (10.20.11)
23. I guess no Women here either
Mike   (10.20.11)
its like prison.
24. Hotels were virtually empty
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (10.20.11)
Having been so ever since they opened They had hoped to attract tourism from the outside, it wound up that nobody wanted to visit a hell hole like Gaza
25. Take no more live prisoners, please.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.20.11)
26. hamas is the oppressor
real vision ,   usa   (10.20.11)
hamas is the oppressor of the gazan population...Open your eyes
27. 5 star hotels built using American $,mmm how interesting!
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (10.20.11)
America pay PA, PA pay terrorists families monthly, PA built luxury hotels, Israel released terrrorists, Hamas let terrorists stayed in PA built luxury hotels. thus America paid terrorists' stay in 5 star hotels. wow, and the silly "Occupy Wall Street" still busy harping on "jewish conspiracy" & Jewish Bankers controlled the World? joining in are the boston protests also. if Israel really control the world, all these 1027 should be given capital punishment right away, don't even enjoy 1 free meal in jail!
28. CNN leament gaza 80% starving living upon aids...
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (10.20.11)
... and these 5-stars hotels, and the many luxury boutiques and shopping malls? CNN devoted themselves to cover "equal coverage" of both Shalit's story and prisoners' story. find you the many crying women, aged old men, and "innocent' children smiles that strike your heart-strings on touching poor prisoners return story. and it always end with facing these prisoners will be starving hard lives in Gaza and Westbank... minus the luxury hotel stays and shopping malls strolling...
29. #5 this hotel looks as good as any Singapore hotels
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (10.20.11)
that fellow lying on the sun-chair is fatter than my neighbors downstair.. some morons mourn that 20% rich and 80% poor? the 20% are "rich enough" to feed all the 80% if they release out all the fat money they banked, and hamas stop spending on weapons and paying terrorists families. even hamas in order to prove that PA statehood is valid, claimed they are sufficient enough not to take US$! go google!
30. #5 Abu-Shlomo
Cynthia ,   USA   (10.20.11)
I haven't seen any Palestinians suffering from malnutrition. Obese yes with markets overflowing with tasty foods. With all the aid flowing into Gaza, the people should be able to afford steak and lobster just like Haniyeh and Mashaal at Roots Resturant in Gaza. Good to know they have luxury hotels as well.
