They will be welcome with open arms

Seems to be what Lieberman ordered. The same is going on in the West Bank around Ramallah. and in almost all Palestinian city suburbs.

Israel will protect itself notwithstanding the tearjerkers and traitors in its midst. The Palestinian leaders don't care about sending Palestinians to their death. They want to show they are doing something to maintain their status but Jews are supposed to weep for the people who wish only to slaughter them.

Israel shooting ,and killing unarmed palestinians does not look good in the eyes of the worlds' press / media and will never look good ,by doing so Israel is shooting itself in the foot and causing damage to the international image of Israel ,unfortunately. This is a difficult dilemma for Israel ,and where possible non-lethal methods of crowd control or dispersal is preferable. Palestinians can win a propaganda victory by portraying themselves as defenceless victims and Israel should be careful not to fall into that trap.

1) Israel gave back Gaza years ago. How are we controlling another people?

2) Countries have a right to seal their borders from enemies trying to breach them and commit terror attacks. Remember what happened to the Gross children at the hands of the nice "peace-loving" Palestinian terrorists.

3) What would the USA do if an enemy came to its border and tried to break in? This author is literally insane, denying Israel the right to self-defense, out of all countries.

4) Poverty in Gaza is due to countries including their Arab Islamic brethren Egypt closing borders due to Palestinian propensity for violence and chaos. Israel also must protect against weapons smuggling and use of materials for terror-tunnel building.

5) Gaza originated as part of Egypt, and should be given back to them.

6) I am fascinated by the author's definition of "controlling" people. When I lock my doors at night, I am "controlling" people, because I deny strangers the right to burglarize or hurt the occupants. I suggest to this author that he pass an international law forbidding locks on all houses and hotel rooms, to prevent this tyranny of people trying to dictate to others where they can and can't go.

7) When I call police in case of a burglary, they should arrive unarmed, because "controlling" people from breaking-in can otherwise lead to deaths of burglars, which is wrong.

8) Purim ended a month ago. we are now in Pesach.

Israel isn't controlling Gaza........Hamas is.

Israel is just controlling it's southern border so 'friendly protesters' won't cross it.

Stop looking for problems where there aren't any. Every sovereign country would do the same.

Stop playing the game of the Israel bashers...you'll never win.

The article a blatant arab apologist from beginning to end.
It is all very well permitting alternative viewpoints but the obvious distortion by the author has no excuse.

some israeli jews want to join hamas and turn israel into a new syria.

fortunately, israel is well armed and not ready to sacrifice her
children to the god of islam.

What is that awful smell... the stink of the rotting, lying corpse of the left?
PPPHEEEWWWW!!!

fence....and there were no clashes....there was a a huge massacre.

traitor to your own people who put you incharge of informing in English about this you are biased and a you lie

Gaza is not a prison due to Israel. It has 2 borders and was thriving for decades due to Israel. The Wardens are Hamas and Fatah whose CHARTERS BOTH CALL TO KILL YOU AS A POLICY.

Gaza is under Hamas not Israeli control as are the majority of Arabs in Judea and Sumaria Area A&C. YOU ARE INTENTIONALLY LYING WHICH LEADS TO DEATH AND INCITEMENT AGAINST JEWS. Why is always Jews who incite violence and hatred towards Israel using lies/moral relativism and pretending the other side is not the new Nazis?

Fact majority of deaths during the battle 2014 were terrorists, by ignoring this you are part of the problem and enabling terrorists. pretending its women and children is another lie as the statistics clearly PROVE that Israel didnt intentionally target children. As the age drops from fighting age the male/female death ratio evens out. Most Gazans are children in age and attitude. THERE ARE NOT 2 MILLION PEOPLE IN GAZA ANOTHER MYTH

We are the victims and the Arabs are the evil here, you cant change history and Jews have been under Apartheid conditions for centuries throughout the Arab/Muslim world. After over 100 years of terrorism against Jews, perpetuated and supported by the majority of the non-Jewish population you should be ashamed of yourself for spreading this blood libel and implication.

Why not ask why they use their own children as pawns and terrorists? Any liberal nation would have taken their children away long ago for child abuse.

Hamas charter calls for the global extermination of the Jewish nation how can you justify them being allowed to exist and not Nazis or ISIS?

They got free power/water paid for by Israeli taxes and its Abbas who is restricting them now not Israel. ANOTHER BLOOD LIBEL AGAINST JEWS SPREAD BY THE FASCIST NGO (funded by foreign governments).

This person is evil and has no moral compass. Making money of spreading lies about Jews another Soros in the making?

Another reason why Trump won, Brexit won, Bibi won, Italy won.......
These so called liberals who are actually fascists trying to control all parts of our lives. The people will remove you when the time is right. Sadly this writer knows he is lying and still writes what he does. He makes money of death and betraying his own nation.

one doesn't have to wait for molotovs, gunfire and ieds to respond. if you approach the no mans land of the fence, you will be shot period.

israel withdrew from the strip years ago. in fact it supplies basic commodities and medical supplies to gaza notwithstanding to keep gaza alive. so hagai spouts his bullcrap that zandberg of meretz so admires.

ithere is no occupation of gaza. israel has suffered enouogh terror from hamas and doesn't witsh gaza tourists. that is israel's perogative. if hagai doesn't like it, he can go to hell.

there is something seriously wrong with betselem.

Israel has no need or desire for "control over Palestinians". Israel simply needs our defeated mortal "Palestinian" foes to peacefully leave our land. We would be wise to do everything feasible to help them do so.

This is incredibly generous of Israel, since "Palestinians" would happily mass murder us all if they had the chance. "Palestinians" proudly shout their desire to mass murder Jews to the heavens every single day.

general command in Tehran. They have plenty of experience of crowd control, they have quelled protests for forty years. The millions of iranians are still unable to regain their country.

I understand the point, but what choice is there?

They want to wipe out all my Israeli friends and relatives. Relinquishing all control of Gaza (as the author seems to suggest) would result in constant war.

If the author has a solution that wouldn't result in the deaths of thousands, I'd like to hear.

gaza is a prison because the inmates never reform.
when i searched for a first occurrence comparing
gaza to jail, and i
do not know that it is, i found it in a oct 1961,
yes - 1961, article of the atlantic.

israel can also be defined as a prison, with only one door.
but israel has improved itself, with limited outside help, a
fine and mostly free nation. an advanced economy,
a democratic state, and is self sufficient in many areas
from electric production to water desalination.

gaza is a prison, and will remain a prison, not because
of any outside limitations, but because the people are
not willing to improve themselves.

ask not why a few individuals have been shot,
but why 30000 have not been shot.
