1. A Majority Of Nachal Oz Voted For Labor And Meretz
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (08.10.14)
And this general voting trend never changes there. They vote for Israeli weakness, so they have no room to complain.
2. @1 when Labor was in office Sharon was our DM
Miron ,   USA   (08.10.14)
Stop looking for a trouble where there is none. The trouble is Netaneyahoo.
3. Easy solution to Nahal Oz concerns -
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (08.10.14)
1. No reconstruction supplies from "donors" to reach Gaza unless the first 100,000 tons of concrete is donated to Nahal Oz for construction of a 10 foot thick, 100 foot deep underground wall 2 miles long on the border, to prevent attack tunnels from Gaza. imbeded with seismic sensors and building paid for by the "donors". End of tunnel worry. 2. Since Nahal Oz is too close to Gaza for Iron Dome to work, kibbutz will be protected by a $500 million dollar network of 300 Vulcan Phalanx anti-mortar gattling gun batteries, to be paid for by the Obama administration, since it is so concerned about civilian casualties. End of mortar worry. 3. To insure future good behavior by Gaza, Nahal Oz will be given full ownership and control of the mile-long stretch of Route 25 highway leading to the Nahal Oz crossing to Gaza City; with full authority to shut it down for as long as they deem necessary if Gaza engages in the slightest hostile act. Gaza should also be required to pay a hefty toll to the Kibbutz to use "their road", including compensation for any damage done to the kibbutz. This should all suffice, and won't cost Israeli taxpayers anything.

No matter how we voted that does not mean we have to have our life's in danger. You are a cruel man to think like you do
5. David Dahl Facebook: what a combination of lies and crulety
(08.10.14)
In case you forgot, it is HAMAS who opened fire against Israel and not Israel who opened a war against the Arabs in Gaza. These Israeli "neighbors" of Gaza have been suffereing attacks from the Arabs in Gaza for 14 years and all you have to say is "good"? You are a supporter of terrotism, that's all there is to it.
6. #1 Yishai Kohen divides the country further
Nancy   (08.10.14)
What a disgusting comment. In times of war you attempt to divide the country further. Typical behavior of right wing religious.
7. #2 try to understand Yishai Kohen
(08.10.14)
In order to ethnically cleanse Gush Katif, Sharon betrayed Likud voters, violated Likud constitution, lied to the central committee, ignored a Likud vote against the ethnic cleansing and bribed corrupt Likud members Livni, Olmert, Hanegbi and Mofaz. When Sharon planned and executed the ethnic cleansing, he was already an extreme Leftist, and Kadima existed behind the scenes. Sharon even warned his Leftist supporters: the fate of Tel Aviv will be that of Netzarim. Yishai Kohen is not saying "I told you so" to gloat. He is pointing out that the rockets and death were not inevitable, but a direct result of Leftist policies that could have been avoided if Likud policies had been followed. Now is the time for the Left to shut up and let the Zionists try to clean up the mess.
8. now they're disengaged!
expellee ,   Israel "proper"   (08.10.14)
That means they supported the "disengagment". I bet they're sorry now. I remember how the brave patriotic citizens of otef Aza use to hold up signs every Friday at Tzomet Magen that read: dai l'kubsh (stop the occupation). Now they can learn what it's like to have to leave their homes.
9. #8
Donsaliman ,   nahaloz.org.il   (08.10.14)
Thank you for your feeling, Our lives are in danger and you can only tell us it is coming to us. Why is wrong with people? I would not wish this on anybody out there no matter what their politic feelings are, but yet you condemn us, shame on you
10. #9 sympathize with #8
(08.10.14)
We all support you, and will fight to get you back in your homes. I do not agree with #8, but please try understand him. Gush Katif residents were the best this country had to offer, and then Israel's most corrupt leadership ever (including "Greek Island" Sharon, "Holy Land" Olmert and "Hezbollah" Livni) sent YSM forces to destroy their property, beat their children, rip their dead from their graves. Perhaps if the Left had shown sympathy, but no. We all saw the jeering faces as the Left mocked the broken heroes and cheered the YSM. We saw no sympathy as these people were shoved into Nitzan refugee camp and were mocked when they asked for help to restart their lives. And they were right. Rockets stopped falling on Netzarim and started hitting Tel Aviv. The number of dead soldiers tripled. The cost increased ten-fold. Israel's legitimacy plummeted. Antisemitism skyrocketed. I know it requires super-human grace, but please show sympathy to #8. Every chance you get, make it clear to your friends that it wasn't Likud or Mitnahalim who gave Hamas the rockets. It was Peres, Livni, Olmert, Sharon, Herzog, Yehimovitch.
11. to # 9 Donsaliman
expellee ,   Israel   (08.10.14)
We suffered 5 years of continuous mortar and kassem rocket attacks as well as roadside ambushes - all we ever heard from otef aza communities was "dai l'kubush". BTW we never ran from our homes; our population was always growing by births and new residents. You could learn a lot about zionism from us.
