Why?

Is there any word from the Israelis as to why they felt justified in bombing a civilian airport into inoperativeness in a country without an airforce? Shia1 15:05, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They believed the airport was being used to transport weapons into Gaza during the al-Aqsa Intifada. They had already intecepted vessels engaged in this business, so airborne smuggling does not require a great a leap of imagination. 160.84.253.241 14:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Such a question is very revealing of he who asks it. 67.87.92.56 (talk) 05:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closed on "Yom Kippur"?

Why is there a statement in the page that says that the airport is "closed on Yom Kippur"? That statement has been there for almost four years. Why would an Arab run airport, be observing a Jewish holiday? Dinkytown (talk) 21:41, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bold textPALESTINE

The Yasser Arafat Airport does not exist, it is in ruins and, although destroyed by the Israel Defense Forces,Israel has left the area in 2005 and the Arab residents could have rebuild it, if that was their desire. Regretfully, the extremist Hamas (registered by the USA State Department and many other countries, as a terrorist organization)is in a continuous war with the Palestinian Authority. Hamas mantains its hegemony in the whole Gaza Strip and allows only its members and several other terrorists groups to carry weapons, while forbiding the Fatah (the PA=Palestinian Authority)to act in the Gaza Strip. The local authorities use all kind of excuses to explain why they cannot build offices, hospitals, post offices, factories, etc. and the residents do not work, living off the support of UNRWA that provides food and clothing as well as materials for the construction of the Casbah's that they call Refuge Camps for the last over 60 years. In spite of having found, at the death of Arafat, 600 Billion dollars in cash and other investments, moneys that were provided by USA and EU, none were used to improve the municipal need of the City of Gaza, although large amounts were used to purchase weapons and explosives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.253.67.34 (talk) 06:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A suitable monument to Yasser Arafat

Every place Arafat ever went, soon looked like this. 209.121.88.198 (talk) 12:32, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
