1. Heartbreaking plea
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.03.17)
2. Except that it is not Israel that's "punishing" Gaza, so we
(07.04.17)
are in no position to reward them either. On the other hand it is unfathomable, that we never seem to have a trump-card vs. Hamas & its willing enablers in Gaza, be that in relation to Goldin/Shaul or anything else.
3. Advocate
Harvey Burton ,   Netanya   (07.04.17)
The Goldin case is unanswerable! The sooner this lame Government realises this the better! I have eleven grandsons in the queue for recruitment over the next several years. They will not be used as cannon fodder nor will they be used as political pawns! This must be made clear to all and sundry BEFORE they are recruited!
4. No other state has ever voluntarily supplies its enemies
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.04.17)
Many Israelis decry the double standard of the world towards Israel. A much more serious problem is the way we Jews treat ourselves. No other state, in human history, has ever voluntarily supplied its enemies with anything. When it comes to Jews, all standards of sanity go out the window. When will Israelis rise up and demand the permanent end of this lunacy?

No more Israeli food, money, protection, electricity, work permits, materials or anything else for our mortal "Palestinian" foes.
5. It's a problem
Ex idealistic ,   Israel   (07.04.17)
The drive for money is often a great evil. Without getting into too much private and hurtful matters, my family was crushed a couple of years after moving here by the revacha Dept (welfare) which took our daughter out of class without informing us (against the law) so the school guidance counselor could do "art projects" with her and when we found out and stopped it we were called in on suspicion of abuse. Luckily I recorded them and they stopped but this is something welfare is known to do to make work and tikim. Israel Hayom had an expose a couple of years back about welfare yanking kids out of houses for a few months at a time and the govt gets billed for the housing and treatment. The anguish of the children and parents is horrific. This is what the drive for money does.
6. Not surprised
Mister J ,   Israel   (07.04.17)
Our govt begs for money overseas and tacitly endorses the thousands of tax exempts begging money for the millions of starving which is total lies. 2 million Israelis vacation abroad every year, the luxury car sales are booming, 100,000 take a cruise every year, look at the ads for investing in property "for only 300,000 nis" in Berlin, London and the USA. Why does our govt -which has over 100 billion USD in forex - need money from the us? Why does information etc and l ask for money overseas? People here can't donate? Well we know jnf doesn't need it so they go to the friers in America and get donations. The culture is to confirm and get money from suckers. If American Jews knew the truth they would stop sending money which h ends up in the pockets of the tax exempts, trips, hotels, salaries, etc
