1. Another Example of Zionazi Collective Punishment
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (08.15.14)
Just like the Germans in the 1930's and 1940's. Civilians rise up against occupation and the brutal occupiers destroy civilian infrastructure as collective punishment. The only difference.... German occupation lasted 2-6 years. Israel occupation has lasted 46 years and counting.
2. Gaza Palis should stop waging jihad on neighbor!
(08.15.14)
Palestinian Islamist seem not to be able to afford Jihad.! Iraq and Syrian Islamist have more money and can afford it! They already killed many Yazidi and Christians and occupied their homes and lands. I won't cry for Palestinian failure in killing Israelis and stealing their lands!
3. That's War for Ya
Arturo   (08.15.14)
Peace is better than war. Hamas wants war, and their are certainly consequences.
4. What happened to the hothouses
Jul ,   Jul   (08.15.14)
And what about all the tomato hothouses Israel left there in 2005? Sorry, I forgot these were transformed into kasam silos to kill more Jews....
5. Farming infrastructure destroyed
Mickey Oberman ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.15.14)
The Gazans destroyed that infrastructure themselves within three days of moving into Gaza. Israelis had a huge agricultural operation with 300 state of the art greenhouses and 14 million dollars donated to them by wealthy American Jews. It had been exporting fruits and vegetables and flowers all over the world. But the vindictive Gazans demolished everything in 3 days. They proved that they would rather destroy Israel than build their own country. Now they are paying the piper. Mickey Oberman
6. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.15.14)
First of all, when Israel left the Gaza Strip, they left intact greenhouses, hydroponic farms, irrigation systems and everything that Israel had developed with respect to agrotech, in one of the most unforgiving agricultural areas of the world. Those greenhouses, hydroponic farms and sophisticated irrigation systems were the first casualties exacted by the Arabs. They were blown up -- this while Fatah was still nominally in charge -- in order to build what promptly became the world's largest terrorist training center. So your accusations are not only unfounded, but quite dumb as well. Fact of the matter is, the Arabs destroyed the agroindustry in Gaza within thirty days of Israel's withdrawal from Gaza. The Arabs had other plans. And now, having destroyed the best the world has to offer in terms of desert agroindustry, the Arabs complain that Gaza's agroindustry is destroyed. A destruction for which they cheerfully and proudly claim total responsibility. Because, to their way of thinking, teaching seven year old children how to jump through flaming hoops is oh so much very more important than feeding them. You're an ass, Doug. A perfect, braying fool. Get a new scriptwriter, can't you? Your mantra is way old.
7. # 2 Screw the pals everyone else has twice.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (08.15.14)
and says they aren't worth it. let the pals leave Israel and find 'safe shelter' in any other muslim land they choose. ISRAEL'S FOR JEWS !! KEEP BUILDING !!!!
8. @ Doug, #1
M. Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (08.15.14)
Are you sure you have the right web site? It sounds like you would be far more at home on "stormfront" or "davidduke". Do you want to end the occupation? Convince the Palestinians to sign and abide by a peace agreement. UNSCR specifically links IDF withdrawal to the achievement of a negotiated peace agreement. No agreement = no withdrawal. Is that too hard for you to understand, or do you need a simpler explanation?
9. To Doug, No. 1
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.15.14)
Truer words have never been spoken. Only one answer or solution: The Zionist state must be dismantled, the sooner the better.
10. The BIG Question!
Robert   (08.15.14)
Was the 1947 UN partition legal? Don't think so.
11. Boy life get to suck when you vote a terrorist gang to
lord over you. ,   eat the khoran...   (08.15.14)
12. Doug
Michael ,   Seattle, Wa   (08.15.14)
Occupation? What exactly is your expertise that makes you an authority on what and what isn't occupation. Have you been to Israel or Gaza? Is there occupation anywhere else in the world that concerns you or is it just Israel that ( occupies) your wrath and disdain?
13. Cripes, Doug. Give it a rest or we'll call you an Ameronazi
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.15.14)
Button it, Doug, or we'll demand that the Iroquois rise up against you white trash Yanks who occupied their land and destroyed their culture. The only differece between you and the Nazis, Doug, is that your illegal colonial land-stealing settler breeding occupation has gone on for for almost 240 years. Waddya say, Doug? Should the Injuns rise up, drive you to the seashore and send you packing back to Europe where you came from? That's your logic. Or wait, if you're from Minnesota than you're on some other stolen land, not Iroquois. But still stolen, still occupied, and you're still an illegal land-stealing genocidal colonization Amerinazi settler. Dang it, did I leave an adjective or two outta there???
14. daza is a bad place
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (08.15.14)
Gaza is no longer livable, people would do better than to stay, but all they want is fighting Israel. UN assists with that,. Pals are victims of UN as well
15. Devastated farms?
Rick ,   Houston USA   (08.15.14)
Are the farms as devastated as when they destroyed the beautiful farms that Israel left them before they were forced to evacuate their own land so that the so called Palestinians could occupy Gaza?
