1. Misguided, twisted view of the reality...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (11.10.11)
Where was that self righteous women when the Jewish population of the communities near the Gaza strip was hiding in shelters for months that proceeded Cast Lead? "War tourism"??? How about taking taking trips to the liberated Jewish lands and seeing first hand the destruction of the Jewish communities in the strip after the War of Indepemdence? And calling arabs an indigenous population of the Land of Israel is an insult to anyone who has a bit of intellectual honesty.
2.  I wish I could see this show in Ramallah.
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.10.11)
the story of Dr. Dr. Izzeldin Abuelaish learned us that the important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle. he showed us how it's possible to struggle for the better without hate. unfortunately, we still have so few people like him in Palestine and in "Israel" for sure. i personally can't be like him and this is sad, i know : (
3. You can be like him!

Just move.....
4. #2 Another lesson for you "Salma"
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.11.11)
If your bloodthirsty Palestinian terrorist brothers had not fired 85 rockets per day at Israel while refusing to ceasefire, Cast Lead would not have happened. This man's family would still be alive. This fake struggle you love to glamorize ruins people's lives and serves only to entertain the lonely likes of you.
5. Wrong
Moshe ,   US   (11.11.11)
I wouldn't think the show nor the real events would be painful at all...I just keep on seeing the body parts in Jerusalem, or the Dolpinarium, or the bus with little school kids blown apart-now that's painful, sweetheart.
6. This is exactly what is draining all hope for Jewish
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.11.11)
continuous existence on this wretched planet: This Mother& Daugter and their disgusting view of conterporary reality and their own distorted Jewishness. Sad-sad situation , as the singer sang...
7. All The Facts

There is not a single person who cannot feel the pain of this man. But, the IDF report also noted a) thousands of leaflets were dropped advising people to leave the area and more importantly b) Dr.Abulaish received several phone call from the IDF saying there was activity in his neighbourhood and he should leave and c) the tank commander was so concerned about firing on the house he contacted HQ and delayed firing for over 20 min, placing him,his crew, and Israelis in the western Negev in harms way. BTW, the report is available here - http://www.mfa.gov.il/MFA/Terrorism-+Obstacle+to+Peace/Hamas+war+against+Israel/Operation_Gaza_factual_and_legal_aspects_use_of_force_complaints_about_IDF_5_Aug_2009.htm#D2ciii I hope the play tells the full story.
