It’s beyond me how a ‘civilized’ nation allows such a moron to be in charge of their army and worst yet defense! His ignorance of everything human brought Hamas to power. His arrogance and foolishness will bring Al Qaida next door. Is this the best Israel has to offer?! Stop this madness, end occupation and create just and lasting peace with your neighbors. Love… peace and coexistence.

We are still enticipating the "Harsh response" if "a single Kassam is fired at Israel after the disengagment", the man is like the little punks who threaten and do nothing, the only thing he's done against the Palestinians is to fill their head with his nonsense until they cant walk straight. We will not forget Madhat Yusuf either Mofaz, or the promise you made that "You dont leave a home" and the next day you zig-zagged to Kadima, I dont believe we ever had such a bad defence minister, Mofaz - QUIT!

MEN........ go back to your cave

You put the word civilized in quotes. Have you read the article about qassams landing near an elementary school in Israel??? We are dealing with animlas that want to hurt Israeli children, I think Mofaz is the right man to deal with them. You have to stop comparing Israeli miltary officials to palestinian terrorists. There is no moral equivalence between protecting your people and trying to kill innocent people.

Mofez is right , of course Unfortunately Bush is in bed with the Arabs as proved by his decision to open our ports to terrorists by giving the Emerites jurisdiction. SDince he is willing to give the USA away why wouldn;t he give Israel away too. He has been one big disappointment and Olmert is following lock step . I fear for the future in the hands of these fools.

It is not compulsory for anyone to believe Hamas. But assuming Hamas does what Israel is demanding, that is to say Recognition of Israel, Renouncing of Violence and even disarming, let us assume this will happen, does any one believe that Israel will then enter into negotiations with Hamas in good faith?. If Israel sidelined Mahmoud Abbas, the affable moderate and secular guy and ignored him completely by taking unilateral steps on the ground, why should anyone believe that Hamas will be treated differently. The campaign to demonise Hamas has begun in earnest, and no matter what Hamas does, it is disqualified. nehad ismail, Camberley, England

Only an Arab or an Arabist would make statements such as yours. Hamas has stated all along that it has no intention of recoognizing Israel's right to exist that the best it will do is give a long term cease fire-Hunda --right--so they can get their act together , their arms and get g=ready for an out and out war. In the meantime some other group , old or new name will do the suicide bombing and shelling and killing of Israelis while Hams eclares" Not us" As far as moderate Abass--He's only fooled Bush and and Rice. He is a holacaust denier and the one who was responsible for the Munich murders. He's about as moderate as Arafat was. The one difference between Abbas and Arafat is that he wears an expensive 3 piece suit instead of the kaffia.

They just fired qassams form nablus into Israeli neighborhoods, what do you think of your "civilized" people now? You are a bunh of crazed, brainwashed animals wiling to kill children to get your point across...not so civilized by world standards. Keep it up, maybe you'll see an Apache soon.
