1. TIT FOR TAT
Robert ,   Israel   (11.01.18)
Tit for tat. Cause and consequence. It seems to be that Gazans are starting to learn that nothing comes for free. The whole situation in Gaza comes as a consequence for Hamas terrorist activities. Hamas preferred armed confrontation. O.K., they are receiving the Israeli answers for their permanent harassing, kidnapping and murdering of Israelis. They know they will get nowhere doing what they do, but they prefer to sacrifice their people in order to show the world how many martyrs they have. What Hamas hides well is the opulence in which their leaders live while their people struggle to get an underpaid job.
2. The blockade did not begin with the Hamas takeover
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.01.18)
The blockade was established after thousands of rockets attacks on Israeli civilians.

The answer to close the border to everything whatsoever

Birdi ,   Israel   (11.01.18)
If stupid could fly, you'd be a jet.
4. The Gaza-Strip and economic shortage.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (11.01.18)
Making/committing irrational/unreasonable and criminal agression/conflict/war against Israel always has/will have a heavy price for the people of the Gaza-Strip with unpleasant consequences, if they continue with that.
5. why does the world need these people?
david ,   new york   (11.01.18)
what good have they ever done for humanity.
other than inventing terrorism, car bombs and suicide bombers, what have they done for the world?
they live off of handouts that they terrorize other countries to give them.
if gaza sank into the sea, would the rest of the world actually miss these people??
6. HOW CAN I DONATE SOME OLD TIRES TO GAZA?
oleg ,   Florida   (11.01.18)
7. Koran dummies reducing themselves back to foot & camel power
Cameron   (11.02.18)
Singin' the idjit blues they is.
8. HAM ASS IS CREATING BLACK MARKET FOR TIRES NOW
Iranian Jew ,   LALA LAND   (11.02.18)
These are the tactics created by the mullah. The real beneficiary of these are the mullahs. They give cash to buy tires from countries around, and sell them to the Palis for much higher prices.
9. It's funny already, but wait until Israeli govt. starts sup-
(11.02.18)
plying Gaza with new tires (or at least makes sure somebody else does)!
I'm sure someone close to someone, close to a minister, is a Michelin/Goodyear dealer/importer.
Then it'll be hilarious, not just funny....

11. tires used in protests are garbage,useless Jewish propaganda
Sami Sami ,   Ramallah   (11.02.18)
12. Gaza tyre and balloon shortage
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.02.18)
Which mad hatter would order the burning of precious tyres just to make a political point so that yet again and again and again Gazans pay the price?

But then again why should Israel make money out of selling Gaza hundreds of tyres when they can so easily be supplied and sold by Palestinian businesses in the West Bank if there was better connectivity?

And this applies not just to tyres but all sorts of commodities moving both ways that will improve not only intra Palestinian trade but Palestinian unity and societal cohesion

moishe   (11.02.18)
there is also a brain shortage in Gaza.
14. Islamists are their own worst enemy. Again.
Brad ,   USA   (11.02.18)
Shortages? Who cares? Medical shortages? They use their "children" as suicide bombers and shields, so again, who cares. If they weren't completely dominated by their own insane hatred for Israel, they would be doing just fine. They've made their bed so let them sleep in it. Or die in it.
15. there was never any brain to begin with
