2. Of all the truly DESERVING places on Earth to be receiving
(09.30.18)
help& support, the idiots (including the Author) choose the filthy, rotten Muslim terror-scoundrels from Gaza to shower with gifts and free money.
What for, you dumb fucks?!
3. Imbecile..an enemy is to be vanquished not promoted

And to thibk this moron was ub the shin bet..i give up..morons are leading the country to the abyss.
4. A good article
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (09.30.18)
Seems obvious when you think about it. There is no panacea but trying to ensure that Gaza develops economically can’t be bad. That’s what happened in post-war Germany. Seems to have worked until now.
5. Economic Prosperity Never Brought Peace. Why is now differe
Shimshon Hamerman ,   Montreal   (09.30.18)
We have almost ten decades of evidence that this was the thinking of the Arab side. They will do well financially, they will concentrate on their finances on not on their weapons. History proves this wrong over and over. Economic prosperity never brought peace. We can only wish that this was true.
6. Gaza priority is killing Jews not the economy.
Sam ,   Montreal   (09.30.18)
Gaza has to be convinced first to put killing aside. Then we can talk about the economy. Israeli leaders would rather deal with other issues so they ignore Gaza. Israel should get its priorities straight.
7. Brownies...
Michael   (09.30.18)
One drop of dog poop in a batch of brownies doesnt make them healthy... Hamas in Gaza will always be dog shit and pervert any long term economic growth... who wants to invest into a burning house... irradiate the disease Delta style then try to gamble with others money...
9. GIVE NO SUPPORT TO TERRORISTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NONSENSE. you can't make a silk purse from a shmata. stupid people and corrupt leaders and misery go together.
11. The author won't be investing his money.
Brad ,   USA   (10.01.18)
He just wants others to do it with their money. It won't work. The jihadis in Gaza don't want a booming economy. They want to kill Jews, Christians and other non-Muslims, in the name of allah. That's all they want, with or without "economic investment". Just flush the money down the toilet and wave bye bye to it. That's a much better investment than giving it to Islamist terrorists.
12. Reversing mad Israeli retreats/concessions leads to peace
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.01.18)
The root cause of ALL Israel's wars, terror and rockets in Gaza is Israel's mad retreat from Gaza. When Gaza was ours, we didn't suffer these problems. The same is true about Lebanon. Reversing mad Israeli retreats and concessions will silence the booms of conflict and lead to peace. Israel needs to stop pampering "Palestinians" and treat them like the vanquished mortal foes they are. Stop supporting them for squatting on our land and foster their permanent departure.

Peri is yet more evidence Israel needs to replace dumb destructive leftists in Shin Bet, the IDF and all crucial agencies with rightist patriots.

15. Humiliating opponents brings results - right?
Bertram ,   London, UK.   (10.03.18)
16. Israeli stupity
Michel ,   Detroit   (10.05.18)
There is one thing in the Palestinians mind is the destruction of Israel and the Judeans people. Notting will work, Jordan is the Palestinian country. The so called Gazans and Israeli Arabs need to move to Jordan.
17. Peri: how fortunate we are, to have survived with idiot like
(10.08.18)
that at the helm of Shin Bet!?
18. THEN ISRAEL WILL HAVE TO FIGHT IRAN ON THE STREETS OF GAZA
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (10.11.18)
There is 0 guarantee from the mullahs on this matter. They use this opportunity to send troops, and start the real war. War is #1 means of income for the mullah camp. And Israel is the closests and smallest ground that they can easily attack on any given day. Gaza must go back to Egypt to rule. The gang in charge now is not capable of providing any services to the population. They are busing them to the border, and to their death in front line of IDF. The port idea is 100% insanity.
