(03.06.14)
2. Only journo-shmournos are interested in this
Leon   (03.06.14)
The rest of us are not interested in the insane.
3. Ignorance is bliss.
Ram ,   London   (03.06.14)
4. Heheh ,...
split ,   US   (03.06.14)
It looks that this so called 'military aid' this junta receives comes with some strings attached by israel firsters on Capitol Hill ,...
5. World Women's Day
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (03.06.14)
To me,this is an hijacking of World Women's Day. Suppose that they HAD got into Gaza.Would they have walked around studiously ignoring Islamic subjugation of women and habitual abuse of women living in a conservative Muslim society? These activists are bigots and hypocrites. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
6. Code Pink
nigel ,   London   (03.06.14)
They should be allowed into Gaza dressed just like that - will be sure to go down well with the tolerant, liberal society there
7. What would happen if Gaza women were to dress like this?
Ron ,   oc us   (03.06.14)
It would stoneing to death, lashings and an honor killing just for good measure. They could have called themselves Pussy Riot, but still get no sympathy.
8. Loathsome Code Pink
Stephen in New York   (03.06.14)
Among the most arrogant and stupid of the US leftist groups. Medea Benjamin, the prototype twit.
9. #4
(03.06.14)
We, the World Jewish Israel First Organization for Action in America for Israel, WJIFOAAI, set it up so you can get a special treatment from the "biggest" Egyptian guard in Cairo when you arrive. Just bring lotion. Don't thank us now, just enjoy.
10. " anti-war group" you say
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (03.06.14)
So why are they trying to get into Gaza only The fighting is going on in other vicinities of the globe. Syria , Russia, Ukraine , Phillipines, Nigeria, Egypt , Lebanon , China , Venezuela and so on and so on. Me thinks they have a bias against the Jews of Israel.
11. Thank you Egypt
Yazan ,   Ramallah   (03.06.14)
Well done Egypt we dont need such mercenaries sucking our culture
12. Code Pink
Louis Fried ,   Woodbridge   (03.06.14)
I don' think the useless idiots at Code Pink will be wearing their bikinis in Gaza. Probably something a little more modest like a burqa.
13. Bikini Display Silliness (BDS)
Brant ,   Hilton Head USA   (03.06.14)
Ever see anything that looks quite as ridiculous as that group of women?
14. Medea Benjamin
Corey ,   Canada   (03.06.14)
Ho hum. Yet another self-hating Jew.
15. #7 Ron: An excellent question!
Corey ,   Canada   (03.06.14)
16. Going for The Low-Hanging Fruit
marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (03.06.14)
Never mind the 150.000 Arabs killed by other Arabs in Syria, or the racist lack of concern by Arabs about that. We can't do anything about that. Let's g for the low-hanging fruit. Israel voluntarily left Gaza, and if there was no terrorism coming from Gaza there would not be a blockade and Israel would leave it alone. So they support the rocket fire on Israel. But do these busybodies really think that if (God Forbid!) Israel would disappear, that we would see the first democratic Arab nation with equal rights for minorities in its place?
17. From which planet they descended?
tiki ,   belgium   (03.06.14)
Complete lunatics!
18. Jews invading Palestine doomed Arab world to Soviet Bloc
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.06.14)
...third world.
19. Ignorning Egypt in order to protest against Israel
Dan ,   NJ, USA   (03.06.14)
How ironic that these protestors tried to go through Egypt in order to protest against Israel. Egypt maintains a "blockade" on the terror state called Gaza from the south, but the protesters are not interested in that. They are interested only in Israel's "blockade." Their form of protest is highly selective. They are certainly not calling for a boycott of Egypt. One has to wonder who pays for the women's plane tickets, room, and board. I salute the Egyptians for doing the right thing by keeping foreign professional agitators out of the country.
20. Anti-Semites.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.06.14)
21. Foreign Arabs invading Middle East doomed world to Jihad
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.06.14)
22. #13 Sure, B.eer D.rinking S.lobs who profess
A ,   Belgium   (03.06.14)
to have knowledge of Middle East politics, even though they still smell of hog farms in Poland or bedpans in Minnesota. They know who they are.
23. A shocking report published yesterday revealed a third of al
jericho ,   causa   (03.07.14)
A shocking report published yesterday revealed a third of all women in the European Union – 62million – have been victims of physical or sexual violence since the age of 15.
24. How silly of them . .
Mike ,   NZ   (03.07.14)
They could have gone to Syria instead . . . I.m sure they would have been most welcome there . . A.
25. What a bunch of exhibitionists.!Bikinis in Hamastan?
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (03.07.14)
26. 12.
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.07.14)
Their attire wont be a problem for them because they wont be entering Gaza. Not now & not in the future.
27. That's too bad...I'd love to let them go into Northern Sinai
Ypip ,   Canada   (03.07.14)
28. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.07.14)
Actually, a burqa would be a vast improvement for these slobs. What offends me is that they also go around raising funds marketing themselves under the color pink, which is associated with breast cancer. It's sickening how many people donate generously to these "activists" because they think they are supporting breast cancer awareness.
29. Hope they make it to Tahrir Square and get what they deserve
