1. Sorry, Palestinians, but...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.23.14)
...you're all out of options. The weapons you have aren't doing you any good. Have you all considered making a beeline to the Jordanian border? I don't think Israel would mind if you all just packed up and left. Heck, they might even provide cover for you in the event the Jordanian military tries to stop you from crossing. And just think about all the generous international aid you'll get once you're over there! Better days are ahead if you'll just take that first bold step.
2. No news under the sun
Moshe ,   Israel   (08.23.14)
The survey exhibits the continued overwhelming support of Gazans for Hhamas, as was when they elected it to power in 2006. Thus, there are little "innocent civilians" in the enclave. Most of them are fervent Israel's enemies, who believe in Hhamas' ideology.
3. Fake poll
Frank ,   Canada   (08.23.14)
More arab fake polls
4. 3
zionist forever   (08.23.14)
Its a logical poll because the Gazans are suffering because there is no truce but at the same time the idea of Hamas giving up weapons is surrender and Hamas need these weapons to protect them so result is logical.
5. Two months ago same percentage wanted Hamas to attack Israel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.24.14)
6. Humanitarian Truce Justified
Zechariah   (08.24.14)
A humanitarian Truce is Justified to allow gazan civilians to go to Turkey and Qatar. Two million ought flee to reduce civilian casualties and provide Space for destruction of tunnels and rebuilding by refugees fron Africa under The Quartet Supervision .
7. Too bad
Barney ,   USA   (08.24.14)
Who can lived next to armed terrorists. Make your choice you idiots. Disarm peace and prosperity or continued death destruction and misery. I know it is a difficult decision but see if that grey grey matter in your head is capable of functioning. My guess is no
8. Germany and Japan
Arnold ,   Montreal   (08.24.14)
Following the end of WW2 both Germany and Japan were without militaries. They rebuilt their countries with the aid of the whole world and today are economic powers.I rest my case.
9. Statistcs and news
Dan ,   Kefar Saba   (08.24.14)
87%, 93% So 87% want a truce, but at least 93% of these 87% want Israel to disappear.
10. Role for Egypt
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.24.14)
Israel gained Gaza during a defensive war in 1967, and Israel tried to return Gaza to Egypt as part of the peace treaty, BUT Egypt refused to take back Gaza. If all agree that Hamas are terrorists and can't be trusted in their duty of care for Gazan civilians, then consider giving Gaza back to Egypt and then ending the blockade.
11. TO 8
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (08.24.14)
Germany and Japan both now have strong military forces. They were built up in response to threats. Gazan attitudes are and should be no surprise. To the average Gazan, Israel represents no freedom ever for Gaza. Nobody in Gaza under age 47 has ever known a single day of peace from Israel. And none is promised them by disarmament.
12. No truce, sorry
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.24.14)
They haven't suffered enough. They haven't learned their lesson yet. Cut off their electricity. No more fresh water. No more humanitarian aid. Free flights to Qatar -- one-way ticket only. Other than that; they need to suffer a bit more. There will be NO war of attrition with these monsters. They go to Qatar, or they die. No great loss. What do you want to bet the Qataris have absolutely no interest in welcoming them to Qatar, lip service and money notwithstanding? I suppose we could always dump them in the Iraqi desert with ISIS. I don't care what happens to them or where they go. But they will not be permitted to stay in Gaza and threaten innocent Israelis. Those days are over.
13. #8:Yeah, you can "rest" reassured, that Islamists are no
(08.24.14)
Protestants or Shintoists, thus rebuilding them in any (for us, Westerners) meaningful way will lead them back to planning destruction & murder. It is simply WRITTEN into their ideology, they insist on calling 'religion"! Only a total subjugation of followers of the Religion of Peace or their physical obliteration can assure us of peace & quiet. By then of course, some other lunatic will try his/her luck at World-Domination, "Spectre/007-Style" :-))
14. They want peace just so they can freely war against Israel
Moshe ,   Usa   (08.24.14)
on a permanent basis. Why does Israel always have to make its defense strategies please world opinion. Just notify the gazans that they are being deported. Start in the east & blow up every building in gaza & proceed westbound until there are no arobs living in gaza.
15. The 87.6% majority lose .The minority win )
Roland ,   london England   (08.24.14)
16. # 4 Hhamas' weaponry
Moshe ,   Israel   (08.24.14)
The Gazans are not so stupid to believe that Israel wants to kill them, and Hhamas is their shield. They know well what is the purpose of Hhamas' arms.
17. Truce is an old chestnut
Mark ,   London, UK   (08.24.14)
So what happens after the truce ends? The relevant question should be whether you want a permanent peace settlement with IL.
