1. Repatriate or expelled these Gazans
lal ram ,   Wolverhampton, UK   (05.12.18)
Expelled these Gazans to Egypt, Jordon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, qAtae, Kuwait, Iraq or any other country that will have them. The only solution.
2. No hatred
Ralph   (05.12.18)
It is not hatred. The Palestinians know they can never build a modern productive and free society. They produce nothing. Israel is a different world for them. They don't hate Israel. They are jealous of Israel.
3. This writer
Arnie ,   Montreal   (05.12.18)
Dead on target. Could not have said it better
4. Raid Alg is not a victim, he is a victimizes
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (05.12.18)
5. Only the likes of Yemini(and the leftist camp) can postulate
(05.12.18)
such blatant, self-delusional theories.
They (Gazans) are fueled by one thing only, the same thing that fuels the whole Arab society: Islam in its simple, true form!
6. Typical Muslim modus operandi: first, play the victim, then
(05.12.18)
you're the victim.
7. Wrong! Gazans are NOT victims - Israel is the victim
Yossi   (05.12.18)
and with titles like that you allow and support their evil doings...
8. A hopeless cause
Disillusioned   (05.12.18)
What use is there in continuing to think that offering a deal will ever work? If it isn't Hamas, another warlording organization would arise in its place because thus it always was in this region, and thus it ever will be.

From the day they are born, they are subjected to five times a day of Qur'anic verse, which is mostly instruction on how to hate, maim, kill and then take for themsellves what is left. The Qur'an is the world's worst brainwashing mechanism. It turns its followers into psychopaths.

What hope for a people who have no other understanding? No matter what we do - as we see with our "peace" with Egypt and Jordan - those instructions keep up the hatred. They may not be at war, but they are never at peace with us.

For all the money in the world, the same misery exists in the Gulf States. The warlords, the sheikhs, the governing bodies, surround themselves with the spoils but the ordinary people have nothing and are terrified of their own shadows, dominated as they are by this so-called "religion."

And let's not forget who really is responsible here. It is the western world and especially the pathetic Europeans, and their so-called "human rights". They know only too well where there money is going, but they need the oil and still see the Arab people as a nation of handsome sheikhs on white horses: noble savages. So they keep on giving, and giving in, continually encouraging the corrupt and the vicious to carry on as usual.

There is, in fact, no such thing as "moderate" Islam. It is Islam itself that is a radical belief system. It has wreaked death and destruction for 17 centuries. What good will offering them "Singapore" do against the teachings of this horrible ideology?
9. Alternate realities.
John Cronin ,   Liverpool   (05.12.18)
Is there any alternate course of action that can be taken to avoid the need for these protests and the resultant despair and hopelessness that their failure to make any positive impression upon the overall situation has brought about?

' Finding the Laxian Key ' -- making an impression and doing so BIG TIME!!!
10. No Pity for Gaza
A Yid ,   Tel Aviv   (05.12.18)
Ben-Dror: Your decency and goodwill is wasted on these people.

If we Jews should bestow kindness on anyone, it should be those who are blameless for their own suffering. It would also help if those persons didn't thrist for our blood.
11. hell
earl   (05.12.18)
gazans will face reckoning. sooner or later, gazans will pay for their support of their govt. hell will rain down on them like never before.

good luck
12. Israel excells, except in taking the BS war seriously.
Amijai ,   Cartagena de Indias   (05.12.18)
"And because this is a battle over public opinion, an Israeli proposal is a must."

Arabs understood, right out of their Taqqiyeh (lying is OK) culture, that if they lose against Israel, they can still make a heap of rage, lies, fury, spin, more lies, twist arguments, reason and logic. So they bullshitted their way, until they discoveredel excells at most things, except defending herself from bullsh*tting. So with Saudi, GCC and EU money and Iranian propaganda expertise, they created Pallywood, which in turn feeds BDS, ISM, Flotillas, Fartillas and Tortillas, and guess what? The feacal fan cannot be stopped.

Israel still understands the "march of return" bullsh*t as a security threat, more than a propaganda & narrative war of twisted self-victimization, that throws Hamas' failure against Israel. What does Israel do about it? It puts snipers and takes the bait. On Tuesday it's going to be very bad. Israel just doesn't get the very nature of bullsh*t wars, and how it has won over people globally for the "Palestinian cause" which is nourishing the destruction of Israel with delegitimization and demonization of Israel, Zionism, adding all of anti-Semitism to make it more vitriolic and sinister.

And again, guess what? Israel doesn't have a Foreign Minister. Bibi says he handles it himself. And Israel doesn't have a counter-bulllsh*t ministry. It should, it must take bullsh*t seriously. It's her enemies most formidable and very effective weapon.
13. Victims of what exactly, Islam? Yes, that I can agree with.
(05.12.18)
14. Gaza is poison, Islam is poison, Arabs are deadly Aliens!!!!
(05.12.18)
15. struggle for liberty from evil occupation is not hatred
Khalid Amayreh ,   Jerusalem   (05.12.18)
16. hard-hearted Israelis; terror from Gaza
Moshe Israel ,   Tivon, Israel   (05.12.18)
"hard-hearted Israelis" : Is Yemeni is referring to the Israelis that live close to Gaza ?. Does he mean those "hard-hearted " Israeli Jews that must use bullet proof glass in their houses tin case of Gazan sniperfire ?
Or maybe kind-hearted Yemenini is referring to the "imagined" sound of ham terrorists digging tunnels under homes at Nir Am , or Ein Hashlosha.
17. Great Idea
Benny Jacobs ,   tel aviv   (05.12.18)
Its a shame that such a well thought out and expressed article attracts such low standard comments and useless propaganda which even the comment writer cannot believe.

This could be a way out of this mess, and in the interests of both sides without doubt, and does not depend on whether one side sympathises with the other
18. It happened primarily due to support from EU and foreignJews
(05.12.18)
19. Hamas charter preaches genocide of ALL Jews - no negotiation
(05.12.18)
20. Gazans victims of continuous support from Left wing globally
(05.13.18)
They fund their hate education
They fund their terrorism
They spread their propaganda through their mediums
They also these terror groups to fundraise and even help them doing so.
They pretend we can negotiate with them even though ALL evidence EVER states otherwise including all their own internal and external documentation.
They support Holocaust deniers and Nazi supporters.
They fund and support all the incitement and violence directed at Israel by the Palestinians.


We cant blame a child when he is encouraged by the adults. Gaza is a child which they world has brought up as a spoilt brat.
21. Having identified the problem you might think
Shachar ,   Eilat   (05.13.18)
the writer would offer a solution not more of the same. I for one feel nothing for the Gazans....and I have been there. I've seen lots of poverty around the world, millions of people homeless, starving and without a voice. Gazans got all the sympathy and all the money and built themselves a living hell....even the Egyptians understand that they don't deserve a gram of sympathy. As I have said constantly- Gazans are not our problem, they are our enemy (their choice). We owe them nothing but the harshest response to every infringement on our sovereignty. Stop giving them food, power, fuel....if they can fight they can fend for themselves.
22. this is what happens......
tiki ,   belgium   (05.13.18)
Where hate grows and takes the place of good functioning brains.
23. export them
dave ,   tsfat/phila   (05.14.18)
"we should offer them everything" moronic. their ancesters came form underpopulated arab countries. assist them to return there.
24. Gazans are not victims, they are perpetrators
C   (05.14.18)
they have destroyed all that was ever given them.
they use their children as human shields.
they sell their little girls to grown men.
25. moishe rabeynu
moishe   (05.14.18)
you can't rehabilitate a stupid people.
26. "Palestinians" are happy participants in hate ideology
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.15.18)
"Palestinians" are not victims of anybody or anything. They freely choose to attempt to maim, murder and harm Jews every chance they get. Nor is this anything new. Long before Israel declared independence, "Palestinians" did exactly the same. The "Palestinian" Mufti of Jerusalem was a close ally of Hitler, and is believed to have demanded that Hitler burn Jews. The Holocaust resulted.

"Palestinians" are happy participants in hate ideology and deadly mortal foes of Israel. It is way past time Israel treated them as such.
