1. So Gaza is not ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.17.14)
... the paradise on earth that Hamas claims. Gee, what a surprise. Why don't the Europeans send passenger ships for them? Or is it just lip service from the EU? Can't pin this on Israel -- 4,000 missiles were fired at Israeli civilian centers. Did you think we were just going to ignore it?
2. Vengeance is mine saeth the Lord.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (09.17.14)
A real shame that the pals have lived all their lives hating G-ds chose, Israel. Will Europe still embrace the pals? A real pity they didn't value the 6 million dead Jews taken by Hitler's Nazis. Don't make war with Israel, it is a curse.
3. Anarchy
Raphael ,   Netanya   (09.17.14)
The Jewish Agency's tasks should include organized emigration of Arabs. This would save them human lives and a lot of money which flows into the pockets of human beings trafficking.
4. Euorpe must stop accepting Muslim immigrant except Gazans!
(09.17.14)
If only for a few years Europe and other Western countries stop accepting Muslim immigrants from all these 57 Islamic countries, and only accept Palestinian Muslims so many Middle East problems will be solved. Muslims have so many countries, so they should stay in their own countries. Gaza Palestinians are occupied by Islamic radicals, who use them to wage wars against Israel and makes their lives miserable. they should be allowed to immigrate to Europe instead of these millions of Muslims from other countries. When they all leave to Europe the only people in Gaza are going to be the Islamist militants and they won't have civilians to use as human shields in the Jihad they wage on Israel. Eventually they will stop to wage more wars. Israeli people will be happy, because there is no more wars. Gaza people will be happy because like millions of other Muslims, they will be able to enjoy life in European democracy. And Europe will be a nice place, because the only Muslims living there will be the ones who will understand the privilege they have and will be grateful that they have to be allowed to live in Europe. Everyone will be happy and no one will die !
5. Victory
Joe Mevorah ,   Lincoln, USA   (09.17.14)
Hamas declared victory after the recent fighting with Israel. My question is why are Gazans willing to leave their soil, and go to Europe? If this is what victory feels like I would hate to see how people in Gaza handle defeat. I know the answer. They would flee.

"Wrong, no need for it they're at home,,," - so, if they are at home, why you called palestinians on your previous comment " refugees"? are you confused or are you just pretending to ignore facts?
7. reply to facebook user Wes Sesnia
Adler   (09.17.14)
yeah, thats true, but if it wasn't for Egypt, Iraq, Jordan Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Yemen in 1948...? actually, if it wasn't for the UN, palestinians wouldn't have been recognized as a non UN State member but a neighbor state of The State of Israel, idiot....
8. To: Raphael at No. 3
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.17.14)
Why? We have suffered considerably at the hands of Hamas. Remember the suicide bombings? Kidnappings? Murders of children? It's up to the mealy-mouthed Europeans to do something. No one appreciates Israel's humanity. Let's worry about the Jewish people, and let the Arabs fend for themselves.
9. To: Facebook Shruti Pravan
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.17.14)
Are you serious? How would you characterize 4,000 missiles deliberately targeting Israeli civilians? Do you truly mean to suggest that Israel should just take it without a suitable response? Do not forget that missiles were fired at Israel from civilian enclaves, schools, mosques and hospitals. Under all recognized precepts of international law, those civilian enclaves, schools, mosques and hospitals thus became legitimate military targets. But tell me something -- why isn't India sending vessels to take Gazans to safety? And have you noticed that the ersatz "palestinians" are deliberately being drowned by fellow Moslems? Do you truly propose to blame Israel for that? If you do, then you are nothing but a moron. Go ahead and wallow in your incredible stupidity and mediocrity. There is no cure for either condition.
10. To: Facebook Wes Sesniak
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.17.14)
Four thousand missiles were fired at Israeli civilians. Forty five hundred mortar shells were fired at Israeli civilians. Those are both war crimes, moron. Israel is a sovereign state, and has an absolute right of self-defense and an affirmative duty to protect and defend its citizens. The Gazans should be grateful to Israel. Israel could have responded by firing 4,000 missiles and 4,500 mortars. As it was, Israel showed great restraint. Israel could easily have leveled Gaza, and don't you forget it! I realize that you are extraordinarily intellectually challenged, but try really hard to coax your alcohol-soaked brain to remember that Hamas started the aggression by kidnapping and murdering three Jewish boys. Israel made some arrests, and then Hamas upped the ante by firing constant missile and mortar barrages into Israel. Terrorists have no rights. But sovereign states do.

"Why don't the Europeans send passenger ships for them?" Can't. Israeli naval blockade. :)
13. good to flee Gaza
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (09.17.14)
the newspaper tries to prevent Gazans to take to flight, there is no reason to go by leaky boats, they could take the ferry from Ashdod or from Haifa. I don't think there is a hope in hell for asylum in Europe. better to try Afghanistan.
14. In England you see hundreds of refugee toddlers/children
Eurabia is Here   (09.17.14)
15. Jew hatred has rocketed as a result this year
Eurabian   (09.17.14)
16. Stay off!
European Jew ,   Europe   (09.17.14)
We don't want you here in Europe. We are sick of Islamists, and remember: we are evil infidels! So go to Qatar with Meshaal, to Bahrain, the UAE or Saudi Arabia. There's no place for you in Europe.
17. Mmm... NO!
European Jew ,   Europe   (09.17.14)
First of all, we don't need more radical Muslims. As a recent Pew survey highlighted, "Palestinian" Muslims are among the most radical Muslims in the world. Also, the Arab-Israeli conflict has nothing to do with Gaza or the "occupation", but with Israel itself, its existence and the Jewish people. The Arab-Israeli conflict will only finish when there are no Arabs or Jews left in the Middle East. The Arabs will not dissapear, neither the Jews. So there will never be peace. Israel just can defend itself and keep being alive, but not in peace. Our victory is our existence! Am Yisrael Chai.

Not of Alexandria, moron. They're overland until the port of Alexandria. Grow a brain.
19. ONE SHIP RAMPED TO THE OTHER ONE, WOW!
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (09.17.14)
Muslims have really gone crazy. This is so sad. How does the world still want to give a country to these people? They have no idea how to live in peace and harmony. They are not happy in any country including their own. And that is becuase they seek death instead of life.
20. #4 are you a racist?
(09.17.14)
No one in the world wants to live in a Muslim-ruled country. Why are you condemning the Muslims?
21. Qatar Turkey and Saudis should accept them
Avi L.   (09.18.14)
Qatar, Turkey and Saudis should accept them instead of financing madrassahs and terror. They should finance agriculture, health, birth control and real education instead of saying that others have to accept migrants. Petro monarchies should spend a bit less in putting airco on whole cities and care more about their muslim brethens. Turkey has been the colonial power from north Africa to Irak, so let them foot the bill. Of course letting them die on someone else doorstep allows to blame the West some more and increase some more the hate their fellow muslim feel towards us. I think it should be said clearly that the cause of the situation in muslim Africa is due to arab politics and lack of care. Less jihad and more hospitals !
22. No more moslem immigrants in Europe PERIOD.
A ,   Belgium   (09.18.14)
The generous socialist systems are alreaedy overburdened by islamic parasites who don't want to work, dont want to integrate and don't want to be a part of anything that isn't their own culture. And before Wes Polakniak starts bleating about Jewish kids, in Belgium, at least in Flanders, everyone must learn Dutch in school, including the private orthodox schools.
