1. And when Gaza imports heavy weapons?
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (06.02.18)
Bring out the smiles?
The only part of this plan I agree with is to recognize Gaza as an independent state
2. Gen Eiland got the idea from Isiah 11:6.Nice work if u cando
Alan ,   SA   (06.02.18)
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them.
3. Jerusalem is Hamas's goal & raison d'tre, not a Sham state
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (06.02.18)
4. Refugees are crux of matter...no real solution without them
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (06.02.18)
5. More broader spectrum needed......
The Archives ,   Kuala Lumpur   (06.02.18)
Whatever reconstruction must involve the hamas. Expenses of any rebuilding must be 30 to 40 percent hamas, 60 to 70 percent Israel. Most of the construction workers must be gazans and hamas to build responsibly so that it will serve as a deterence against acts of terrorism in that location. If the hamas feel no pain of reconstructing anyrhing, they'll probably be party of detroying it. Should the gaza security be suspect, then the Israeli police or IDF must be brought in to ensure security situation is to a secured level.
6. It's foolish
Mario ,   Porat   (06.02.18)
And after all they will pay us with new generation of missiles. ....
7. Gaza = "Palestine"
Khalid Amayreh ,   Unified Jerusalem   (06.02.18)
8. Gaza
leon rosen ,   Hod Hasharon   (06.02.18)
Why are so many in the IDF so ignorant and delusional in the face of Hamas intransigence. They constantly ignore the fact that Hamas is an ideologically Jew hating, militant regime that cares very little for its citizens and much less for Israel and its civilians.There is nothing Israel can do which will change their attitude - maybe Iran. The more they are 'given' the more likely to wait until they feel feel strong enough to fin a new way to attack the State of Israel and its Jews. Israel in the meantime needs to defend itself and to isolate the Gaza strip from Israel.
9. rotten nada killeers in teheran
gandja   (06.02.18)
the illegal entity sitting in teheran is afraid of its own people who will one day see them in evian prison before hanging. this rotten regime must be ripped out by the brave persian people.
10. The general is right but is but a hopeless dream
DOV ,   USA   (06.02.18)
11. Why give our "Palestinian" foes anything? Utter madness!
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.02.18)
Yet another ridiculous article by Eiland. He is demonstrably wrong on both counts. Israel's mad retreat from Gaza STARTED all the terror, wars and rockets from Gaza we suffer from now. Gaza belongs to Israel and Israel needs to retake it forever.

Secondly, why ON EARTH give our mortal "Palestinian" foes anything? To help them maim, murder, boycott, demonize and harm us more efficiently??? Israel should TOTALLY cut off the insane flow of Israeli food, money, electricity, materials, work permits and all other support to our mortal "Palestinian" foes. It is lunacy to help your enemies harm you. Imagine if the WW II Allies had adopted this sick attitude towards the Nazis!
12. Why not build in Darfur?
Moi   (06.03.18)
In Darfur you see real refugees.The Gazans live better than the most africans.

Look they even killed Fatah and their pali. christians brothers.
13. Once more nonsense
Avi L.   (06.05.18)
Once more nonsense

Could Giora choose to shut up?
14. Marx Brother would have written a better article
Avi L.   (06.05.18)
It's already years that Giora is churning and pilling up nonsense in order to stay visible propping up some private "think tank" business of his.

This doesn't mean he has to deceive the Israelis voters into sharing his pipedreams.

1 - Hamas has been elected as much as the commies in former Tchekoslovakia, the next day they killed, gangster style Fatah people, even throwing people from hospital windows
2 - Gazawi don't support Hamas
3 - also ISIS was running a "state" ... so what?

... and again Giora is talking as if Hamas were a reasonable entity, he keeps droning about plans, complying, implementations, controls and all the nonsense

It's rather time to cut this hydra head instead of keep cutting arms that keep growing back.

The head is today in Tehran
