1. hamas HEAPS On Misery For gaza
(09.12.13)
And their own people! Ruthless myopic jihadists, deserve what they get!!!!
2. Gazan Palestinians
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (09.12.13)
Why is it that the Gazan Pals cannot get along with any peoples. Even Egypt which is family cares not for them.
3. Where are the lefties, the UN and EU
Shalom ,   Ashdod, IL   (09.12.13)
If Israel did this, all those idiots would be screaming genocide, but since Arabs are doing it, no one is speaking. Somebody call that idiot Katherine Ashton and tell her she could get her picture in the papers (as if anybody cares). Banki Moon why don't you fly to Gaza for a first-hand look? More power to Al Sissi for showing that Arabs understand only ONE labguage and that is force.
4. Where is Ashton?
tiki ,   belgium   (09.12.13)
Telling the Egyptians to open their borders, like she tells Israel? Where are the Palestinian lovers, those fighting for human rights, but only when Israel is involved? Where are the protesters, the Gutmenschen and the army of world hypocrites who have been exposed for what they really are in the face of the Syrian atrocities and the Gaza closure by Egypt. The anti Semitic, double faced weaklings are nowhere to be found and not to be heard of. Only when Israel will be involved they will wake up and start their world wide demonstrations & accusations.!
5. Israel could learn something about how to deal with arabs,
A ,   Belgium   (09.12.13)
by the ones who know best...other arabs.
6. Egyptian Blockade
Andi ,   Israel   (09.12.13)
Another example of Leftist/Arab anti Israel hyprocracy. The Egyptian blockade has been no diferent to Israel's for years. Why else would Gazans need to dig tunnels? But has there been any Leftist condemnation of this or flotillas to Egypt? The biggest joke was when George Galloway was prevented from entering Gaza from Egypt, and he still blamed Israel
7. Egypt Does Not Trust It's Arab Brothers?
emanon ,   USA   (09.12.13)
Surprise, surprise! It seems no one trusts the arabs of Gaza, not even the country that was the birthplace of the man that tried to give them a new name. Yep, that's right, Yasser Arafat was from a wealthy Egyptian family. Hmm . . . Maybe Egypt has every right not to trust the arabs of Gaza.
8. Creating a humanitarian crisis!!
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (09.12.13)
Oh wait, no one cares since it's arabs oppressing the Palestinians.
9. what i would like to know is
(09.12.13)
where is the security counsel? where is human rights watch? where is anrwa? where are the flotillas? where are world leftists and muslims demonstrations? where is alice walker? where is shomsky? where are liberal professors condemnations? where is bds? where are liberaql musicians demonstrating and calling for bds against egypt? where is george galloway? many many more? where are they all? the silence is deafening! opps! israel and jews are not involved so all the above personalities are mum!
10. The mind boggles, what to do ????
benjy   (09.12.13)
shall we hire a ship, take on board do goody activists...shall we cycle through Egypt to the Rafah crossing, abuse an Egyptian soldier, let him hit us for the media pics???? We would end up dead or in jail! Has that old bag Ashton said anything, has the UN condemmed this, will singers and such be asked to boycote Egypt? Israel learn from them and how to shrug off things that are thrown at us...learn from those that know how to handle their own kind! Its the way we will survive on our tiny peice of land surrounded by our enemies.
11. Imagine the reaction of World if Israel did .0001% of this
Alan ,   SA   (09.12.13)
12. Agree - It's Hypocrisy
Christy ,   Boston, US   (09.12.13)
I'd like to add my voice stating that there'd be a different reaction if it were Israel and not Egypt. However, can't some NGO, UN group, etc. get some medical aid - at least - to these people? Seems that nobody cares about them except when they can be used as pawns to 'get at' Israel. This is disgraceful!
13. I feel their pain. Truly I do.
(09.14.13)
If only they hadn't committed terrorist attacks against Israel and the Jewish people! If only they hadn't been in the vanguard of Gazans burning Israeli flags and shouting "Death to Israel! Death to the Jews!" But that is precisely what they did, and now they must pay the price. You know what? Were Charles Manson to crawl to me and beg on bended for me to help him, I'd kick him to the curb. Which is the precise fate that the ersatz "Palestinians" in Gaza deserve. Well, let them plead their cases before Egypt. Israel? We've had quite enough of their lying, duplicity and calumny. Surely their brother Arabs will help. Won't they? If not, why not? And why is that Israel's problem? Wouldn't their lives have been quite different now.
14. A different take on a popular marketing billboard
William ,   Israel   (09.16.13)
A popular billboard on highways near office parks is "If your office was here, you'd be at work by now". A different take on this billboard should be put up various places facing Gaza, in big print stating "If you accepted peace with Israel, you'd be healthy by now". Kinda drives the message home as to what a wrong decision has gotten them.
15. A myopic perspective of Gazans....
William ,   Israel   (09.16.13)
"Rafah crossing and the tunnels – they have become all we care about, our lifelines" - Samir Ali, the taxi driver Well, consider this Samir. If you chose peace with Israel instead of racist terror led by your leaders, you wouldn't even need tunnels to get everything you need. The borders would all be open.
