Gaza wall comes down

[nevernohijab]

How about mentioning that this is the Palestinian/Egyptian border?

This is Egypt locking them in!! This is so funny....This is about EGYPT keeping them out as well

They're doing just as Israel, but still they're pointing fingers!

[ChoiceJJ]

@nevernohijab - The Egyptian border was mentioned in the report. - It was Mubarak's Egypt cooperating with Israel.

[nevernohijab]

How about mentioning that this is the Palestinian/Egyptian border?

This is Egypt locking them in!!

[reaganwasdim]

The most constructive thing for people who are concerned about this issue is to write to their MP's local politicians etc, to complain about the blockade. Hears another idea, why not boycot Isreali goods but more importantly companies which actively sponsor and invest in Isreal. In the long term I am sure this would be quite effective. There are several websites confirming the many large corporations involved

[The Holy Quran, 59:14]

They do not get together to fight you unless they are in well-shielded buildings, or behind walls. Their might appears formidable among themselves. You would think that they are united, when in fact their hearts are divided. This is because they are people who do not understand.

[sHaDoWsOFisLaM]

What goes up, must come down.

May Allah have mercy on our brothers and sisters in Gaza, all of Palestine, and all over the world. It's time for the Muslim and Arab world to wake up and do something to help our brothers and sisters. How can we eat, sleep, and enjoy life when so many in the Ummah are suffering?

[Daritto7117]

Israel is just evil. Period. Done. End of Disscussion.

Any dumbass jew that would want to live there is stupid as hell!!

[bourque07]

free Palestine and end Israeli apartheid!

[tstrout]

Israel ought to take out a mosque every time a rocket lands in Israel. That'd be a fair trade. It'd cut down on the bloodthirsty sermons, too.

[silwadiya14]

or tstrout may b it would b fair 2 kill 971 israeli children b/c thats how many Palestinian children they have killed

or demolish 4170 isreali homes because thats how many pale homes were demolished

or create 223 Arab only illegal settlements in israel b/c thats how many jewish 1s in the west bank

[silwadiya14]

or tstrout by ur principle it would b fair 2 wound 31,815 israelis b/c thats how nay pales have been or imprison 10756 isrealis in palestinian jails, as israel has done! or put up an apartheid wall in israel b/c they did in palestine!

im being sarcastic btw. i dont want 2 c ne innocent ppl hurt or killed in ne way. im just showing u how stupid ur comment was.

Yes lets cut down all the bloodthirsty zioNAZI isreali soldiers!

THAT is FAIR TRADE!

[tstrout]

It's the paleos who target civilians, not the Israelis. Or haven't you noticed the suicide bombings/Katyusha rockets et al?

By the way, Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza weren't illegal. Why is it that Arabs can live in Israel, but Jews can't live in "palestine"?

[silwadiya14]

ur an idiot blinded by ur own stupidity!

DONT tell me that 971 PALE CHILDREN killed by the IDF were TERRORISTS! DONT tell me that they were not CIVILIANS!

israel took over gaza & the west bank in 1967! hamas (they started sucide bombings) was created in 1987! do the math! 20 YEARS B4 ANY SUICDIE BOMBINGS: ISRAEL WAS KILLING PALES.

ACTUALLY israeli settlements in the west bank r ILLEGAL BY INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE & THE UN DEMANDED THEY STOP IT!

[tstrout]

What a dummy! Israel got Sinai when they kicked Egypt's ass. It was Egypt who wanted that war. (And Syria and Jordan and Iran and Iraq etc etc etc.) And Israel gave back Sinai in return for a treaty. When have Arabs ever given conquered land back? NEVER!

[tstrout]

Jews were in "palestine" 2000 years before the first Arab showed up. And when they did start to return in large numbers (40 yrs before Balfour, genius), it was good for the Arabs. If it wasn't for Jews, Arabs would still be living in mud huts and burning camel dung. Read "Innocents Abroad" by Twain to see what the Holy Land was like in 1850, before the Jews expanded: empty. Oh, I forgot, you don't read anything but the koran.

BTW, it was Arabs who massacred Jews in '21 & '29. Learn history.

[silwadiya14]

even if it was 40 yrs b4 balfour idiot, most jews were NOT natives of Palestine & DIDNT even had semetic blood (they were EUROPEANS) they came there throught mass immigrations (called alias) and even when 'isreal' claimed independence in 1948 jews were LESS than 1/3 of the population!

ur simply pathetic! tellin mlamry01 2 learn history, when u r SO IGNORANT about the Pale-israeli conflict!

[tstrout]

Most Arabs living in Mandate were immigrants, too. Arab population shot up just as Jewish population did, because since Jews came it wasn't the shithole it used to be. Jews had just as much right as Arabs to immigrate to Holy Land.

[silwadiya14]

UH r u mentally retarted or living under a rock b/c u dont know ANYthing bout the pale-isreali conflict. wht an idiot.

Arabs WERE NOT immigrants! they were the decendents of Ishmael, and some of the jews were decendents of Isaiah! they were ALWAYS 4rm there! ever heared of the cannanties or the philistinites!?!

[tstrout]

Arguing with you is no good...you're obviously a product of the madrassa, where they only let you read & memorize the koran & don't teach critical thinking. That's the kind of education that produces suicide bombers. You think Arabs are descended from the canaanites? HA HA!

Listen, dummie...Arabs from all over the Arabian peninsula moved into the areas where Jews settled in the mandate because they wanted jobs. They IMMIGRATED into Jewish areas just as Jews from Europe did.

[silwadiya14]

1st of all MORON- i live in america! i doubt u even know wht madrassa is! it means school idiot!

ur pathetic seriously. the only thing u can do is just make up this type of crap 2 justify ur disgusting hatred against arabs. yes its no good arguing w/ me because im RIGHT based on CLEAR facts NOT sick biased zioNAZI propaganda!

u think the jews orginiated in Palestine? ur even STUPIDER than i thought. it is a well know FACT that the jews migrated 4rm the iraq (Mesopotamia)region & egypt!

[ChoiceJJ]

Ancient history (sometimes newly created) is not helpful when it comes to justify today's crimes.

[tstrout]

Learn some history. If Israel hadn't had to fight for its life against the whole Arab middle east, the Arabs in "Palestine" wouldn't have found themselves "occupied". And if they hadn't repaid Israeli kindness with typical Arab Jew-killing mentality, everything would be cool today.

[silwadiya14]

'fighting 4 its life'

LOL that is the biggest piece of BS posted here!

"The thesis that the danger of GENOCIDE was hanging over us in June 1967 and that Israel was fighting for its physical existence is only BLUFF, which was born and developed AFTER the war." (Israeli General Matityahu Peled, Ha'aretz, 19 March 1972)

[tstrout]

Read some of bloodthirsty comments from Nasser and Assad before war. Here's one from Assad couple of weeks before fight started: "Our forces are now entirely ready not only to repulse the aggression, but to initiate the act of liberation itself, and to explode the Zionist presence in the Arab homeland. The Syrian army, with its finger on the trigger, is united....I, as a military man, believe that the time has come to enter into a battle of annihilation."

Sounds like threat of genocide to me.

[silwadiya14]

LOL i NEVER thought sum2 could be THAT stupid!

EVER been 2 palestine!? on the aparthied wall in the west bank, u ever seen graffiti: "Kill all ARABS!" or "Send Arabs 2 the GAS chambers" does anything get more NAZI like? i think NOT

notice he said the word "zionist" NOT jewish. being a zionist is NOT an ethnicity, so its NOT genocide.

& as i aware "Zionism = Racism" UN resolution 3379. i think the world would b better off w/zionist racists!

[tstrout]

Who can blame them? Arabs have been all about killing Jews for a long time. They got 75% of the original mandate, but that wasn't good enough for them. Then they were offered another 50% of the little bit the Jews got, and that still wasn't good enough. They want it all.

[silwadiya14]

well obviously the INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE & THE UN CAN BLAME THEM! thier ILLEGAL BURTAL OPPRESSIVE OCCUPATION IS NOT LEGITIMATE NOR WILL IT EVER B!

if something is urs WHY would u settle 4 only part of it? jews come 4rm Europe who never set foot in Palestine & dont even have SEMETIC BLOOD!

what if someone invaded ur home, killed ur father, raped ur mother, imprisoned ur brother, locked u in a backyard w/ doghouse conditions. called U a terrorist & told u it was God's will?!

[tstrout]

Let's get serious here, silwadiya. What do you think the best way to solve the Israeli-Arab conflict is? What should each side do to bring peace to the region?

[silwadiya14]

isreal MUST:

-COMPLETLY abandon & disable ALL settlements in the west bank

-give COMPLETE control & authority of Gaza & the west banks borders, checkpoints, roads, water, electricity, airspace, water, ect

-RESPECT palestinian soverienty (israel cannot invade it when ever it wants)

-Give up COMPLETE CONTROl of East Jerusalem

-return ALL lands occupied in the 1967 war (including the Golan Heights of Syria)

-ALLOW ALL palestinian refugees & thier decendents 2 return 2 the lands they fled 4m

[weeatwheat]

@silwadiya14 You "grabbed" alot, you didn't "grab" You "grabbed" a little, you "grabbed". You ask for everything. It's like you didn't ask at all. That which you demand is ridiculous. It shows that you really want everything. Also, why should Israel believe that you will be peaceful if you gt what you ask. On the contrary, to what you claim, this wall should remain. It is how we strive for peace in this world.

[silwadiya14]

Israel must (continued) -Recognize Palestinian right 2 exist -abide by all former agreements -SMASH thier APARTHIED WALL IN THE WEST BANK! (the berlin wall once stood 2!) -RENOUNCE VIOLENCE & terrorism against Palestinians -Give some land so thier will b a geographical connection b/t westbank & gaza in return, Palestinians MUST: -Recognize israel's right 2 exist -Stop firing rockets into israel -Stop suicide bombings -renounce violence against israelies THAT will bring peace!

[TomMinderson]

It is war, this is what happens in war. If Gaza wants to stop the rocket launches, they can. They choose not to.

[tstrout]

The dumbass paleos started the fighting...there weren't any checkpoints or strikes until they bit the hand that fed them.

[silwadiya14]

LOOK WHT UR OWN PPL SAY tstrout!!!!

"It is the duty of Israeli leaders to explain to public opinion, clearly and courageously, a certain number of facts that are forgotten with time. The first of these is that there is no Zionism, colonialization or Jewish State without the eviction of the Arabs and the expropriation of their lands." (Yoram Bar Porath, Yediot Aahronot, of 14 July 1972)

[tstrout]

You can always find a communist with a Jewish name who hates Israel. Communists don't care if they're supporting genocidal stone-age fascists. Face facts: Arabs got 75% of the original British Mandate, have been offered half of the remainder, and still have a hissy fit because that still leaves the Jews with a tiny sliver for themselves. Arabs won't be happy until there's no Israel. They want whole middle east to be barren and medieval like it was before the Jews ruined it by making it modern.

[silwadiya14]

No, actually he was a JEWISH RABBI! the facts arent hatred idiot. & every1 who doesnt agree w/ the actions of isreal isnt a communist!

ur disgusting hatred of arabs will get u NO where in life i promise

its not unreasonable 2 want 100% of wht belongs 2 u! there IS NO LEGITIMATCY in the creation of the state of 'isreal'!! just b/c jews @ 1 time had a state there, doesnt mean palestine is thiers! if we went by this rule, America & many countries 2day WOULDNT EXIST!

[tstrout]

You're not logical...you say that it's NOT okay for Jews to live where Arabs used to live, but then you go on to say (in your own so literate way): "just b/c jews @ 1 time had a state there, doesnt mean palestine is thiers!"

Uh...hello? You're fine with Arabs living in a land that used to belong to Jews, but Jews living in a land that used to belong to Arabs is wrong?

Moron.

[silwadiya14]

i am PERFECTLY logical, its just that ur 2 stupid 2 understand it.

the kingdom of David & Solomon & whoever is GONE!

it is WRONG 2 kick out, oppress & illegally occupy the indigneous population of palestine just b/c there was a jewish state in palestine that lasted 4 only 414 years!

[tstrout]

Listen to the madrassa student talk illogically. "the kingdom of David & Solomon & whoever is GONE!" so that makes it ok for Arabs to live where the kingdom used to be, right?

Well, the Ottoman empire is gone, too, dumb-ass, since WWI. So that makes it ok for Jews to live where IT used to be, using your own logic.

Too bad you're incapable of seeing it.

[silwadiya14]

trout is the only thing u can do make up crap? when u goin 2 present sum facts? im very CAPABLE of seeing the truth. yes & VERY INcapable of seeing lies & propaganda!

i believe the ppl who were living in palestine in 1948, B4 all of the alias, the NATIVE ppl(Muslim Arabs + Christian Arabs + Semetic Jews) of the Holy Land, have a right 2 live there!

u cant just kick all out the indigneous population b/c the jews were hurt in the holocaust! & b/c God promised it 2 them!

[tstrout]

Dumbass Paleos never had it so good as when Israel took over administration of WB/G in '67. That's when all their medical facilities, schools and industry were built y'know, courtesy of the Israelis. Their standard of living went up by an order of magnitude. Too bad they'd rather kill Jews than keep the good life the Jews gave them (a good life, by the way, that they never got from their Arab brothers.)

[tstrout]

If the Paleostinians didn't spend all their welfare money on rockets, they wouldn't be in the fix they're in. It's stupid for Israel to provide electricity to animals who want to kill them and elected terrorists to run their gov't.

[Jesperlaursen86]

this act ís one of most effecktiv and most humnaity act a military group has preformed in the newer time.

[fatefinger]

A humanitarian act by a military group. It's what happens when people get desperate. Good for the PEOPLE of gaza.

[kam3Oen]

Now Israel needs a big wall on the border with Egypt to keep out these barbarians

[kam3Oen]

Now Israel needs a big wall on the border with Egypt to keep out these knuckle walkers.

[fatefinger]

I'm not sorry you don't have a brain. You don't have the ability to empithise, or think for that matter.

[dhagax]

Unfortunately there are many fools like in this world and ironically majority of them live in USA and Israel!

[kam3Oen]

If I recall, nearly every arab country was involved in both the six day and the 1973 war. Quality beats quantity. :)

[nhilst600]

This news is so very good and a very well written news report. Look at the people of Gaza in this video all of you terrible Zionists! They are buying food medicine clothing concrete. I do not see any weapons going into the Rafah crossing. All I see is people who were denied life's basic needs by the Israelis who are now free to do productive humanatarian commerce in Egypt as it should be. Thank you Pres Mubarak! May you be hailed as a humanatarian hero!
