1. Palestinian Civil Society that puts women and children in
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (05.16.18)
the line of fire is clearly at the root of the problem
It doesn’t matter what Israel does or doesn’t do - when Palestinian Civil society encourages it’s people to kill themselves rather than build their nation.
Another root cause of the problem is the world community that is blind to the crimes being committed by Palestinian Civil society that puts its woman and children in harms way
2. Peace will not come throgh the USA
DOV ,   USA   (05.16.18)
How hard was it for Trump to utter Jerusalem is the capital of Israel therefore the US embassy should be there. One sentence said without any thought but to retain his fanatical base. Ask yourselves knowing who Trump is that the move of the embassy under his presidency is tainted. I believe all embassies should be in the capital of Israel but under Trump it feels scummy.

4. Those Arabs are naive: no one can afford an appartment in TL
Ex Oleh chadash   (05.16.18)
TLV, JLM, Haifa and so on.

Tell them the prices, tell them the true: they will want to go to Egypt.

Anyone can purchase appartment in Israel. There is no house there. Very expensive. As simple as that. Olim are leaving.

5. ISRAEL DID NTO START THIS. ALL SHE CAN DO IS JUST ENLARGE
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (05.16.18)
the buffer zone. Ham Ass is getting paid by teh mullahs to do soem work and they need this new income. War is their business, and it will never end even if Isarel did nto existed.
6. All you can do is to give the yard a manicure each week
Ralph   (05.16.18)
Gaza will always be a cesspool. Gaza will always cause problems.
7. Israeli Control - Cost Free
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (05.16.18)
Netanyahu wants cost-free control of Gaza. It won't happen, but it is what he wants. He would love a dictator over Gaza who takes his orders, bows low and says "Yes Master," like an elf from Potter-world.
8. Yo, Eyal: we're still celebrating and Gaza is nothing but a
(05.16.18)
blip on our radar.
I understand that for you & your fellow travelers, it is yet another pretext for continuation of the cursed "Piss Process".
Too bad.....
9. What an inane headline/question?! What WE want to achieve?!
(05.16.18)
10. Wrong Question
A Simple Jew ,   Beer Sheva   (05.16.18)
We want them to stop trying to kill us.
What to do? Oust Hamas, and destroy Gaza as a separate political entity. The territory must either be Israel or Egypt, but not independent. Best if the Gazans were disbursed throughout Egypt. Two million Arabic speaking Moslems would blend into Egypt just fine.
11. Nadav Eyal
Ardeth Bey ,   Detroit   (05.16.18)
I would be getting the impression the amazing Nadav Eyal is a pacifist. There always has to be one of these about a thorn in the flesh.
12. Reverse all mad Israeli retreats & concessions
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.16.18)
The sane self respecting thing for Israel to do is reverse all the mad Israeli concessions and retreats, which are the root cause of all the problems. You can still see lunatic leftist leaders, on video, prattling about how wonderful life would be after Israel flees Gaza. When will ever learn that leftists are ALWAYS wrong on every important issue?

The long nightmare of terror, wars and rockets from Gaza began when Israel fled Gaza. It won't end till we retake Gaza forever. The same is true of our South Lebanon Security Zone and all our insane retreats and concessions to "Palestinians".
