4. you cant make deals with the Hamas cancer
david ,   Boston   (11.02.18)
it's a cancer, deals mean nothing, its whole purpose is to grow and destroy everything around it. dont talk to it. it will destroy Gaza unless Gazans destroy it first. stay out of the way.
5. I guess "we the People" will have to take charge of our fate
(11.02.18)
by relieving our present government of their duties...?
6. Hamas is an Islamist terror organisation
C   (11.02.18)
as an islamic terror organisation, hamas will never accept a jewish sovereign
in any land it considers as part of islamic lands.
islam conquered the land of israel in the seventh century and built a mosque
in jerusalem on top of the ruins of the two jewish temples. the mosque was
built as an expression of islamic supremacy and imperialism.
however, muslims never declared sovereignty, nor did they declare
jerusalem as their capital city.
muslims have always regarded mecca as the spiritual and actual capital
of islam and of the islamic world.
furthermore, since islam is a supremacist religion, islamists refuse to
accept international agreements as valid under sharia law.
hamas does not accept international agreements as valid. hamas
accepts only sharia law as valid.
hamas will not even accept a hudna(temporary cease fire) as valid
with israel since such recognition would gran legitimacy, even
temporary, of the jewish state.
it must be understood that the war between hamas and the sovereign
jewish state of israel is a religious war. it is not essentially a war
about territory as such.
this war cannot be solved. only the demise of hamas can give a
modicum of hope to resolve the conflict.
the recognition by president trump of jerusalem as the capital
of the sovereign state of israel is an implicit recognition that
the religious nature of the conflict must be rejected as part
of islam's war on the west.
7. Hamas is a liberation movement Israel is a terrorist entity
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (11.02.18)
Israel stole our land, destroyed our homes, murdered our children, expelled our peoples to the four winds.....and still has the Chutzpah to call us terrorists! This a fornication with trth, history and language!
8. It is not restraint
Avi L.   (11.02.18)
It is "not risking losing votes" whatever the cost
9. Mossad/Shin Bet created Hamas as counterweight to...
(11.02.18)
politically astute Fatach. Hamas is a word in the bible meaning violence a little obvious. When an agreement is in the works Hamas somehow always shows up, ironic.
10. Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood
C   (11.02.18)
the muslim brotherhood is a an islamist organisation which has engaged
in numerous terror activities.
11. "islam" hamas and Israel.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn Holland   (11.02.18)
"islam" hamas,, the rest of the "islam" world caliphate, a fourth part of our humankind and Israel does not go together, for Israel is a free, human and democratic state. "islam", human rights, humanity, freedom of speech and democracy also cannot go together, just as fire and water. Almost anybody knows what is going on in the "islam" world caliphate and criminal world, since the 7th. century.Let us all choose for the free and democratic world, to get security, safety and peace and end "islam" and dictatorship..
12. PhD
Joel Ira Weller ,   Rehovot   (11.05.18)
"We have no policy, and what we do have is based on illusions" And you Mr. Yemini have a solution?? I'm dying to hear it. The greatest illusion of all was the belief that leaving Gaza would some how make things better. An illusion that you supported. Now all you supporters of the "disengagement' are blaming the government for your own stupidity. At least you should have the decency to admit that you were horribly wrong, and take some responsibility for the mess we are now in.
13. The only solution: IDF to Pummel Gaza into Oblivion
Mike 71 ,   Los Angeles   (11.06.18)
As Hamas, as well as Fatah, in their founding documents reject any form of non-violent conflict resolution with Israel, the only solution is forth IDF to pummel Gaza into oblivion in the next war. Reduce Gaza City, Rafah and other cities into rubble, making bare survival in the wasteland the first priority of "rejectionists.". With no shelter, potable water and sewage flowing through the streets, a cholera epidemic will quickly eradicate them and solve the problem.
