Jon ,   Uk   (09.02.15)
UN why don't you f...ing go and sort this out with Hamas and make sure the money and building materials etc.is used for what it is suppose to be used eand not for weapons tunnels and their bank accounts gaza was better off under Israel before it was given to the Palestinians But UN know speaking to Hamas it's like flogging a dead horse
4. Gaza uninhabitable by 2020?
tiki ,   belgium   (09.02.15)
Why wait that long? Take the tunnel to Egypt and from there to Europe. Europeans love Palestinians and want to "free Palestine. Go, you can do it. Europe is waiting with money, jobs & houses.
5. The "two state solution"
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (09.02.15)
Might as well pull the plug on Hamas and Gaza. They had their chance and all they brought to the pals was more failures. Behold your 'two state solution' hope you enjoy the fruits of your labor. pals are Arabs best they go back home to Arabia. KEEP BUILDING !!

G-d has a sense of humor, Jews have Israel European's have Muslims.... Sounds good to me. "Vengeance is mine saith the Lord."
7. well going to un was useless. guess they better elect better
ralph   (09.02.15)
government next time. obviously current elected government is a failure. failed elites, failed people.
8. Israel ,listen to your conscience !!!
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.02.15)
Israel's security is top priority. Being good to enemies is being cruel to friends. The huge Arab States could easily integrate the Gaza population in their midst, as Israel does for their fellow Jews mistreated in foreign countries. We can trust the UN to be clear-sighted mainly at judging their own interests. Israel can defend itself and will. End of story.
9. Gee
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (09.02.15)
All Gaza has to do to end the Israeli blockade is end its state of war and terror against Israel. What a concept!
10. To quote the DUKE
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.02.15)
"Life is tough, but it's tougher if you're stupid"
11. "Gaza could be 'uninhabitable' by 2020" - but not for long
leo ,   usa   (09.02.15)
12. Hamas, Not Israel Is The Problem
emanon ,   USA   (09.02.15)
Hamas and the other alleged leaders of Gaza are too busy siphoning off money for their ow interest to care about their own people. Israel lets TONS of goods through on a regular basis, only to have it all disappear int the hands of the Hamas rulers.
13. MISLEADING ARTICLE
...DACON9   (09.02.15)
LAST WEEK THERE WERE PRESS RELEASES ON THE PRESENTDAY LUXURIESTHE MERCEDES, THE LEXUS, THE 5 STAR HOTELS THEBEAUTIFULHOMES. You can drive through any area in the world and find ruins. YOU READERS CRYING FOR THESE ARABS LIVING IN GAZA... how about crying for those arabs deprived off basic needs because abbas is building a 13 million dollar USD palace for himself while crying to the world that he doesn't even have enough money to sue ISRAEL. you crying readers for those arabs in ISRAEL know that the world gave over 9 billion USD to them over last 10 years since ISRAEL gave them the gift of gaza.....THEY ALSO ACCUSE ABBAS AND COMPANY INCLUDING HAMAS OF '''MISSING MILLIONS UPON MILLIONS OF DOLLARS'' How about the arabs rather work for an Israeli company at decent wages then any arab in gaza. How about the migration of arabs leaving or trying to leave gaza because of the oppression in gaza from hamas. How about JUST ONE MEDIA OUTLET BE DEDICATED TO TRUTH AND HONEST REPORTING CONNSISTENTLY RATHER THEN EYE CATCHING HEADLINES THAT MISREPRESENT WHICH RESULTS in ***continuous hatred and war !!!!!

the pals would rather die.. let's assist them.
15. Keep on making Rockets
ik ,   USA   (09.02.15)
They uprooted the greenhouses and destroyed other infrastructure when the Israelis left. Now all they want to do is make War and get aid. It's their choice.
16. Entirely of Hamas making
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (09.02.15)
they KNOW the moment they revoke the Charter that calls for Israels destruction and decide on coexistence rather than aggression Gaza will be transformed So why do they persist? Because it benefits the few at the expense of the many
17. An insult to our intelligence
Nunya biznis ,   USA   (09.02.15)
U.N. And their desire for total global domination will slander any nation capable of DEFENDING themselves from terrorism. Israel has bowed to every demand made on them with Gaza. From withdrawing soldiers, lifting blockades, providing schools, money and building materials. All of which landed in the hands of the REAL enemy; Hamas. They used the lift on blockades to smuggle weapons, schools to hide weapons, building material to build terrorist networks stretching below Israel, money to obtain more weapons. Gods people are not fooled by your propaganda, only those who has amnesty towards God and their neighbors will consume your empty words like mindless cattle.
18. it will be most interesting to watch Gaza finally implode
Cameron ,   USA   (09.02.15)
19. Wonderful News, no more Arabs in Gaza
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.03.15)
20. progress arrives in Gaza finally
richard sherwin ,   herzliyah israel   (09.03.15)
Is 2020 the best Hamas and the UN can do? you'd think theyd have ruined the place totally long ago? after years and decades of trashing the place, oppressing the people, skimming off their wealth, blaming jews and israelis (who emigrated long ago), and getting more and more reluctant hand-outs from arab allies. congratulations, soon they'll be in the same situation as the palestinian ghettos in syria, lebanon, and ...wherever.
21. So what is UN's solution?
Raphael ,   Netanya   (09.03.15)
Erase israel to make room for Gaza mobs? Do they ever look at the map? There is an empty space, 3 times larger than Israel, at the southern border of Gaza, which belongs already to the arab-muslim sphere.
22. Ships to take Gazans to Europe
Alfredo ,   Raanana   (09.03.15)
One of the caring NGOs should organize ships to take the Gazans safely and comfortably past Gibraltar to Spain, France, Germany, UK, Scandinavia. Surely lots of families would be eager to go.
23. Vote 1 Hamas
Ronnie ,   Australia   (09.05.15)
Vote 1 for Hamas. A vote for Hamas means more rockets and more bombs on your roof. Another shitty day in Gaza needs more rockets and results in more shitty days. You vote for what you are getting. Keep voting and you are going to keep on getting. How simple does it need to get.
24. # 3 But Jon,....
BUILD BABY BUILD!!   (09.05.15)
The UN and Hamas are partners, allies and share the same hospitals, schools, offices and firing fields use to make war on Israel. Why don't we stop funding the UN and the pals instead? No money no terrorists.. KEEP BUILDING JEWISH ISRAEL !!
