1. Somebody please tell the Qataris
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (03.13.15)
Before all their well meaning cash for Gaza goes up in smoke And yet again the people of Gaza LOSE OUT Qatar needs to exercise FIRM LOVE and be cruel to be kind This is NOT a Qatari Political Donation for Hamas. This is for the LONG SUFFERING PEOPLE OF GAZA TO GET BACK ON THEIR FEET Any money given by Qatar has GOT TO HAVE CONDITIONS ATTACHED that only Qatar will settle with contractors DIRECTLY and all materials and costs subject to aggressive auditing Should come a lot cheaper now that Swanky Boy Mashaal is now milking his new sugar daddies in Istanbul
2. Get NATO and Russia to occupy border
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (03.13.15)
Maybe if the entire Border zone was occupied by a combination of NATO and Russian Troops to a width of at least 1 km then any incursions under ground or over ground or by rockets from Gaza would be witnessed and death with by NATO and Russian Troops. It's just a crazy though. Oh and the total cost of the deployment could be met by Qatar.

No, moron, Hamas cannot do what it wants. They are subject to a cessation of hostilities agreement, which they signed, and which requires them not to re-arm and not to build military facilities and not to dig tunnels. They have violated the agreement, which means that Israel is free to go in an finish the job, for once and for all -- destroy Hamas, root and branch. At a minimum, Israel should simply stop allowing building materials into Gaza -- they are being used to shore up tunnels, not to build housing. Israel should also punish Hamas by reducing the nautical miles in which Gaza fishermen and fish, and by prohibiting the export of Gaza food products into Israel and Judea and Samaria. Hamas thinks its being clever. Well, Israel can make it very painful for them. It's not as if Hamas doesn't exact the bulk of the payment from the sale of fish and vegetables by Gaza fishermen and farmers. They do. Israel must batten down the hatches, just as Egypt has. Seal the border. When the people of Gaza have had enough, they will rid themselves of Hamas. 'Tis better to die a free man than to live as a slave, don't you think? Hamas' "leadership" are all personal billionaires and live in the lap of luxury. It's the people of Gaza who suffer, not Hamas. Why should Israel continue to enable Hamas?
4. To: Facebook Sarah Lith, redux
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.15)
Are you serious? The Jewish people inhabited Israel, Judea and Palestine for two thousand years before the term "Arab" was even coined. You are clearly very ignorant, otherwise you would know that the only true Palestinians are the Jews, and you need look no further than the census records of the Mamelukes, the Crusaders, the Ottoman Turks and even the British Mandatory period. Only Jews are identified as Palestinian, with others being variously identified as "Christian," "Arab," or "Bedouin." In point of fact, until the Jews of the First and Second Aliyot came and restored the land, Palestine was a dismal backwater of the Ottoman Empire. Not until the Jews started to build and nourish life into our ancient land, did Arabs wander in, pushed there in increasing numbers once the British discovered oil in Saudi Arabia and Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq). The faux "palestinians" actually come from the Hejaz in the western Arabian desert. For you to suggest that Palestine, present-day Israel, Judea and Samaria belong to these ersatz "palestinians" is testimony to your remarkable stupidity. Get an education before posting sheer and utter nonsense.
5. To: Sarah Lith, yet again
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.15)
Did you know that the ersatz "palestinians" could have had their state in 1947? They chose to go to war instead. They lost. They started -- and LOST -- five additional major wars and countless smaller ones. In between those, permit me to point out that thousands of Israelis were killed and maimed in terror attacks and suicide bombings. So, yet again, you prove your ignorance. But, if it's any comfort, I don't think you are sick. I think you are a demented idiot. The Kingdom of Israel and the Kingdom of Judaea existed long before the first Arab invader stole Jewish land. So I think you really need to shut up. You're a complete moron.
6. Preempt Hamas
Brod ,   USA   (03.13.15)
Israel should not wait for Hamas to dig tunnels. It should preempt Hamas in their very act of digging those tunnels. It is called deterrence.

Be accurate   (03.13.15)
Tired of the jew’s half truths about the alleged “Offer to the Palestinians for their own state in 1948”. The facts of the matter are Palestinians at that time were 66% of the population, jews 33%, Palestinians owned 90% of the land, jews 7%. The deal (that the jews praise as being bighearted) was: jews would get 60% of the land (800% increase) and the Palestinians would get 40% (50 % decrease). At that time nearly 100% of the Palestinians were born in Palestine, where as 10% or less of the jews were born in Palestine. 90% were European immigrants

or Flotila Hayes, whichever you prefer, you are way out of your league here. It's time for you to zip it, you are showing us how very dumb you are. Hamas has said themselves they are preparing themselves for the next war with Israel. An undeniable fact.
