1. Gazans dispatch every other life-form to Eternity, I guess
(08.27.19)
it’s only fair to dispatch them as well ... to their natural environment in Arabia.
2. transfer= ethnic cleansing,which is euphemism for genocide
kms ,   Jerusalem   (08.27.19)
3. Moral indignation
Concerned American   (08.27.19)
The Israeli Jews should not be condemned for not wanting to live with people who want to kill them. Save your moral indignation for your leftist echo chamber, Mr. El-Ad.
4. transfer the writer to Arabia and get done with him.

5. Palestinian Victims
Ed ,   USA   (08.27.19)
El Ad seems never to have heard of Hamas. Palestinians are victim of a highly oppressive regime that denies them basic human rights and treats them as chattel. Nothing that Israel does can restore human rights in Gaza. Stop patronizing these poor victims. The way to freedom for them is to escape from Hamas.
6. For peace, help "Palestinians" who want to leave
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.27.19)
For obvious reasons, "Palestinian" leaders never talk about the tens of thousands of "Palestinians" who leave Judea, Samaria and Gaza every year for a better life. We do not know the exact numbers, but incomplete information we have, suggests it could easily be over 50,000 annually. Without a shekel of Israeli assistance.

Imagine how many "Palestinians" would leave with a workable Israeli assistance program! "Palestinian" departure is the truth path to peace. Israel's policy should be to help the many thousands of "Palestinians" who want to leave our land. In conjunction, with an iron fist policy on terrorists, this would go a long way towards creating real permanent peace in our land.
7. The same old Leftist chicanery
Jake   (08.27.19)
What Mr. El-Ad deceptively calls "transfer" is exactly the opposite.
Israel would encourage and assist the voluntary emigration of Gaza residents, AS LONG AS another country is willing to take them in.

As El-Ad himself describes it:
"The “senior figure” – who everybody knows is Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself – said that Israel is willing, generously, to allow the residents of Gaza to emigrate, if only a country were found that were willing to absorb them. And if that were not enough, Israel is even willing to pay for it – including driving them to the airport, from which they can take off and get the hell out of our sight once and for all."
8. Hagai is describing the only solution to bring permanent end
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (08.27.19)
to conflict with this group of Arabs.

After that there will still remains conflicts with other Arab tribes around Israel
9. Ironic terrorist Kahane' ideas are accepted....
NYC   (08.27.19)
and spoken by world leaders. Reminds me how black American culture is loved the world over but blacks themselves are not.
10. is Ynet a J. Strumer,if not why R U a tribune for fascists
Assaf Yagori ,   Tel Aviv   (08.27.19)
11. B'Tselem
Mark ben Josef   (08.27.19)
It is a primarily Jewish-Israeli organization concerned with human rights. The organization sees Palestinians as humans.
12. SOME HISTORICAL FACTS IN A NUTSCHELL FOR EL-AD !
FO ,   Belgium   (08.28.19)
A Hopeless, Dreary, Hart Broken Land, this is what Mark Twain wrote in 1867 after visiting Palestine. Its sedentary population including Muslims, Jews, Christians, was at the end of the 19th century about halve a Million! At that time Jews started to come back to their ancient land that became a flourishing country called Israel! With Herzl this “phenomenon” got a name, ZIONISM, a name that induces you hives I suppose, EL-AD! But there is a definition you can’t reject: “The Land belongs to the one who works on it”. In 1922 the League of Nations the Mandate for Palestine that gave the Jewish People the IRREVOCABLE RIGHT to settle between the Med. Sea and at least the Jordan River, including the Golan Heights to create their independent state! I wrote “at least” because Article 25 of the Mandate became obsolete the 14th of May 1948. Britain as Mandatory of Palestine (remember, a Mandate is a Trust) behaved as a colonial power, betraying the Jewish people, blocking the shores to prevent Jewish immigration but allowing hundreds of thousands Muslim from neighboring countries to enter Palestine through British guarded territorial borders, but no Jews, just to prevent by all means the creation of a Jewish state! Those you call the Palestinians, are the descendants of the migrants during the British Mandate that the Soviet KGB transformed into a Palestinian people in the early sixties, with as leader a certain Yasser Arafat… born in Egypt! People who got “Jordanian” citizenship during “Jordanian occupation” from 1949 till 1967. People who are indoctrinated to the destruction of the state of Israel. And you, Hagai El Ad, you want to share with them full and equal rights between the River and the Sea?
