1. Sure, why not?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.14.12)
The Brits can have as much poorly-made shoddy clothes as they wish.

Your zionist prejudice is showing again. I have seen documentaries on these clothing factories which must suffer due to Israel shutting off the powere for hours on end. The machinery is 1st class as are the skills of the workers, but most of the workers have had to be laid off due too Israel's oppressive apartheid policies. I could just see you strutting around in your Chez Pal kaffiyah, bragging about where you got it Miss B!
3. "Palestinian" rocket exports a big hit in Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.14.12)
Isn't it a great idea to let Gaza "Palestinian" get rich exporting clothes, while they bombard Israel with their biggest export?Rockets. "Palestinian" rocket exports to Israel are booming mightily. "Palestinians" export rockets to Israel day and night. They are a big hit in Israel. More and more Israeli cities and towns receive them. No other nation would dream of allowing such lunacy!

I read a post of yours earlier today,stating that you didn't get home until 3am most nights. Well Sarah B, here's some advice - if you didn't spend so much time spouting your vitriolic remarks on Ynet, maybe you'd get home a bit earlier! And BTW, we Brits are not too fussy about our clothes,as long as they are cheap LOL.
5. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.14.12)
I guess you do not get your suits made on Savile Row or your shirts from Turnbull & Asser. And I didn't say "most nights." Go back to school and learn to read. Of course, what would one expect from someone who prefers cheap clothing to quality apparel?
6. #2 THERE YOU GO THINKING AGAIN
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (05.14.12)
First of Zionist is not an insult to us. You should read more. Zion means God in Hebrew. Instead taking a jab at another reader, why don't you put your effort into adding anything of value here. Gaza belonged to Egypt prior to 67 war. Guess what, mate! They don't want it. We are more than happy to give it to them. They can buy electricity from them if they wish. Guess what? Egypt can't supply it. Instead of spending too much time thinking insults, you better do some good reading and researching. Your shrimp on the BB needs turning. If Ou catch my drift. Don't waste our time, please.

I don't agree with your claim that Israel has oppressive apartheid policies.Israel provide electricity etc to Gaza.I 'll let you ponder that for a while Arab.

Birdi ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
Hey bright spark, tell me, what would your reaction be if your neighbour bombarded your town with rockets, sending you & your family hurrying in a panic to the nearest bomb shelter, day in day out. You should be thanking Israel for allowing palestinian clothing to be exported to UK via Israel. Israel did NOT stop the electricity supply to Gaza. Gaza REFUSED our electricity. Learn the true facts before you sprout your lies here.

Birdi ,   Israel   (05.15.12)
Thanks for your explanation,now I understand why you Brits always look like you dress in rags. You all resemble a total mess.

You of course know who will buy some of the pallie clothes in the UK, dont you? Yes thats correct, the resident(UK) muslims.

Lio ,   LONDON UK   (05.15.12)
Lighten up love, I was giving a sarcastic response to your sarcastic post! Of course we Brits care about our 'apparel'. Ever heard of Marks and Spencer?
13. To: Birdi at No. 11
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
Of that I have no doubt. But I am curious as to why the U.K. would import clothes and support the economy of a terrorist-run enclave. I thought that was against both U.K. law and E.U. protocol, and both the U.K. and the E.U. consider Hamas to be a terrorist organization. No wonder neither the U.K. nor the E.U. enjoys much credibility.
14. To: No. 12
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
Your effort at "sarcasm" fell flat on its face. And if I know about Turnbull and Asser, it's a fair bet I know about Marks and Spencer, don't you think? But why is the U.K. doing business with a terrorist-run enclave (Gaza)? It's a direct violation of U.K. law, isn't it?
15. #2 aussie
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.15.12)
The power is shutting off because of a disagreement between the PA and Hamas as to paying for it. And "apartheid”?! Where Israeli arabs and Jews go to the same hospitals, see the same arab and Jewish doctors? Where arabs vote, are represented in the knesset and sit on the Supreme Court? Even South African blacks have condemned the use of the word apartheid in relation to Israel as it detracts from what they went through in SA. (And Hamas is sworn to kill the Jews, the PA insists their land will be judenrein, and both teach their kids its ok to kill Jews. Who is apartheid? Hint; it ain't Israel.) Some 'thinker'.
16. Positive employment
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (05.15.12)
I hope this will create jobs and give Gazans something positive to do instead of living off UN handouts and plotting terror.
17. Don't bother responding to No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
He tipped his hand at the get-go -- "Zionist" -- as if that is some sort of a bad thing, instead of being nothing more than the nationalist movement of the Jewish people. That does sort of the render the balance of the post at No. 2 worthless, which is why I clicked it closed after the first sentence.
18. Hey, Aussie! (#2)
emanon ,   USA   (05.15.12)
If you are so concerned, go to Gaza and build a power plant for the terrorstinians so they don't have to siphon power from Israel and be such a drain to Israel's power grid. Remember, these terrorstinians are at war with Israel! They are too busy building missiles, bombs and planning how to terrorize Israelis to have time to build their own power plants. All their money goes into munitions, not building their community.

Your time would be better spent climbing a crane, don't you think?
20. #7 John Darren
Aussie Thinker   (05.15.12)
Israel provides electricity for a few hours a day-certainly not 24/7 as you are implying. Israel also heavily restricts the amount of fuel allowed into Gaza to run the generators too!
21. #9
Aussie Thinker   (05.15.12)
Birdie, you really are decended from dinosaurs, aren't you? What would you do if you and your family were locked in the biggest outdoor prison in the world, with a seige that does not allow pasta, corianda, grayons and coloring books, as well as restricting electricity and generator fuel? Would you rebel or lay down and die at your occupier/oppressors feet? What did your ancestors do Birdie?
22. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
Do you descend from the criminals who arrived on transport from Britain? How do you account for the tens of millions of massacred Aborigines by British criminals off the British convict ships? What did YOUR ancestors do?
23. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.15.12)
Iran runs electricity into its major urban centers for a few hours a day only. Where's your outcry? Where's your outrage? Israel allowed building materials into Gaza, and those were promptly utilized exclusively for the purpose of shoring up tunnels used to smuggle arms. Fuel is used to build bombs. Why should I care more about the terrorist supporting civilians in Gaza than its own leadership does? And don't I have an affirmative obligation to assert the rights of Israeli civilians within missile range of Gaza to support and defend themselves? You're not a thinker. You're an idiot.
24. #19, #20, #21 aussie - "thinker" you're not
solomon ,   bklyn   (05.15.12)
#19 - This sentence is tailor made for you yourself. Congratulations. #20 - Hamas is not paying its bills, while siphoning off the fuel needed to run its own electric generators for itself. #21 - Diplomats have stated that they were surprised at how much food there is in gaza. Not much variety, but much food. Also supermarkets, swimming clubs, shopping centers, schools..and terrorism. Israel set up a medical tent at one of the checkpoints some years ago, to treat the "Pals" but Hamas told their people not to go. They also want to destroy Israel and kill the Jews, and say so at every turn. What ‘prison’ are you talking about? Well, maybe a self-made prison. You are no "thinker", and the more you post the more your coined self description becomes like "observer"; totally the opposite of truth and blatantly ridiculous. Congratulations.
25. # 2 Aussie ! Do you believe that Russia
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (05.15.12)
had an obligation to provide Germany with electricity after Germany attacked Russia on June 22.1941 ?.it was the palestinians in Gaza that attacked Israel,after Israel handed them over Gaza on a silver plate,and why isn't there a blockade of the west bank by Israel ?.the reason could be, unlike the hamastinians in Gaza, the palestinians in the west bank don't fire rocket at Israel.
26. LOL Gaza a real fashion mecca!
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.16.12)
along with rockets directed towards Israel. my, my, how marvelous that these 'liberated' workers can sew among the lil' war like bastards. Who will buy the crap they produce? No one. not even the Gazan's who might be able to use a sheep for another purpose, clothing.
27. Does # 4 have a 'pet sheep'?
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.16.12)
I mean, have you smelled some of the exports from Gaza? Maybe they should end all terror against Israel first? Clothing is not known as a pal export, terror is. Buying any of their products are like paying another terrorist in training.
28. # 12 Lio ever hear of soap?
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.16.12)
No one buys British shit while others make far superior clothing. You birds need to learn to bathe more regularly and find better dental care.
29. # 26, 27, 28
Lio ,   London UK   (05.16.12)
It's a telling sign of the level of your intelligence that all you ever post here and elsewhere, are insults. Bad-mouthed Jew would be a more appropriate name for you, but I guess being a juvenile, you've a lot of growing up to do yet.
