1. An excellent rebuttal
Ehoop ,   UK   (10.28.11)
of Gisha fictions.
2. Exelent Article !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (10.28.11)
The Truth about Gaza is according to the Word of HASHEM - Isaiah 11 14But they shall fly upon the shoulders of the Philistines toward the west; they shall despoil them of the east together. They shall lay their hand upon Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon shall obey them. Comment - The Cause and Reason for this behaviour of Israel is, the Contionuing Hostility and Warfare against Israel from the Gazans. Arn.Sweden.
3. Furthetmore...
A. Assayag ,   France   (10.28.11)
In 2006, Kadima was elected on a program which planned the unilateral pullout of the West Bank by Israel. Thus, when Hamas decided to abduct Shalit and to fire thousands of additional rockets on Israel, it did it, knowing that Israel had the intention to put an end to the occupation. That must be said.
4. Anne Herzberg article
Peggy Walt ,   Halifax, Canada   (10.28.11)
This is an excellent article. glad to share it on Facebook so my FB friends can also pass it along to other Canadians who are sick and tired of the ongoing anti-Israel bias we see too much of.
5. We need to IMPOSE a blockade
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.28.11)
To date there has been no such thing, it is way past time to do so. Stop the power, the water, the food, the medicine, the fuel, the medical care, the exports, etc. This is the time to do so, RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER!
6. Brilliant, brilliant piece!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.28.11)
And so true. Hamas is a cancer that needs to be excised. Destroyed, like all cancerous cells. They are a violent batch of terrorist scum that serves the world no positive purpose. No room for them on this planet, if we hope for civilization to continue. The naysayers and ignorant idiots are welcome to go hang.
7. Well Written, Well Researched
emanon ,   USA   (10.28.11)
But ultimately meaningless. The facts will not convince anyone whose mind is already made up, especially when they've had the lies of the terrorstinians pounded into their heads along with the threats of terror against those that dare oppose them. "There will be peace when the arabs love their children more than they hate us." That's what is comes down to.
8. Israeli citizens would be better off staging protests
tom ,   tel aviv   (10.28.11)
against the NGOs than the phoney "social justice" movement. But that would take collective brain-surgery to happen. So I guess we'll go on chanting "Give Peace a Chance" & "Give Gaza another billon $"....
9. "Gisha"
Concerned&smart citi ,   Israel   (10.28.11)
gisha is a quasi-pro-terrorist Israeli organisation, which is mainly foreign funded. Makor Rishon newspaper just revealed that the British gov't illicitly finances it under cover.
10. Truth? You want the truth?
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (10.28.11)
Well HERES the truth about Gaza To all intent and purpose Gaza is Hamas and Pretty Boy Mashaals little Fifedom from which they lavish themselves with power and Ahmadinejads blood soaked millions whilst Gaza continues as a ruthless Poilce State Any who think they are about to negotiate away their grip on Gaza therefore arent right in their minds. They are more than happy with things AS THEY ARE Its up to Gazans to rise up against this treachery And remember Oh Hamas....THIS Sping may have passed you by...but theres another Spring next year...Inshallah
11. the truth is u can talk well but u need to see first
Jalal ,   Gaza   (10.28.11)
before u judge people u can easily visit gaza do ur study in gaza even meet hamas people ask them clearly why did they fire rockets at israel by the way i made about 20 comments before but u know i'm from gaza and hater did not allow the site to publish my comments and this is a good reason for u not to visit gaza also
12. Most moral thing Israel can do is win resoundingly.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.28.11)
Israel should fight with the same moral codes that guided the WW II Allies in achieving their resounding victories against the Nazis and Japanese. No worrying about enemy civilian casualties. No worrying about what the E.U. or U.N. will say. No nonsense. The most moral thing Israel can do is win resoundingly; by any and all means necessary.
13. The authors are living in a selective world
Leon ,   Algonquin Land   (10.28.11)
Gaza is still under an illegal Israeli occupation, even though the authors and most Zionists choose to ignore this fact. As an occupier, under international law, Israel is not allowed to impose collective punishments like the lightened siege in Gaza. The UN "report" on the Mavi Marmara attack, crafted by the former President of Colombia is about as credible as a war criminal deciding what a war crime is. People who are living under an occupation can legally resist using weapons.
14. three
(10.29.11)
one wants to give the blood and soule sure it is not for money ,,second wants to pay money sure it is not the price of soule and blood .. the third is angry ,,here you have the choice to be the first or the second or the third .to me i do not like to be any one of the three becouse if iam not the first or the second i will never be the third .. most of the people on this earth are like me specialy if it is about gaza or israil or about the middle east ,no one like the headeCh of ME
15. The truth about Gaza ,...

16. 13 - Leon, Algonquin Land
split   (10.30.11)
AMEN !!! ,...
17. Go find a well to blow yourselves up #'s 13 & 16
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (10.30.11)
You could join your terrorist heroes.
18. Leon,from Algonquin Land & those who think like him...
m ,   Citizen of Earth   (10.30.11)
Gaza and the "west bank" are not considered occupied lands according to international law, at best they are disputed lands. they certainly do not "belong" to the PLO/Hamas (which is are relatively new entities created in recent history).
19. #13 leon
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.11)
Leon you wrote "as credible as a war criminal deciding what a war crime is" well said! The UN security and human rights councils are full of war criminals and human rights abusers who get to pass resolution after resolution calling Israel's actions and behaviors "war crimes" and "abuses" of human rights... the proverbial pot calling the kettle black...but that's not what you meant is it? And you talk about living in a selective world...
20. # 13
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.31.11)
And your beloved friends the palestinians are not allowed to bomb southern Israel. Israel has every right to seal the border now. Nothing in, nothing out, until Hamas lays down their rockets & agrees to a 100% ceasefire. A ceasefire longer than 2 hours!! Israel is not occupying Gaza. There is not 1 Israel citizen nor 1 Israel soldier in Gaza anylonger. YAY, Gilad is home safe now. Do you know why they are bombing southern Israel? why dont you ask them? Then come back here & spew more of your drivel. PS.
