Finally, our government has answered something intelligently. GOOD! Yes - we aren't responsible for intentionally targeting civilians. Good finally, that our government has drawn the necessary connection between Kassam fire and our respones!

The group which invented the homicide bomber and sends their children across the border into Israel to kill women and children as they travel on a bus and sit in a resturant have no shame and use their skillful art of lies and propaganda well. But this will not slow the disaster that races towards the Palestinian people.They are soon to follow the people of Amalek and Haman. Those who help and support this cursed people will follow in their destruction.

This isnt a kindergarten, present them with facts who prove we arent responsible, international probe is a violation of sovergienty and should only be preserved for extreme cases.

...a person looks like after a direct hit from one of those things? It will cut you in half just with kinetic energy and if it lands next to you and explodes youll be in 100 pieces more shtuyot from our neighbours for a change

Four little girls and their pregnant mother were murdred by Hamass two years. Where is the investigation there?

the palestinians are a refugee population fighting for their rights and land against the 4th largest military in the world. the only way for them not to resist the way they are resisting the brutality of israel is to tell the americans to build them a $100 billion dollar military like israel has. then you can ask the palestinians for a real war.

Nazionist Israel is a threat not to the Middle East but to the whole world. A final solution for the Palestinian tragedy has to be the annihilation of the fake state of Israel. Nuclear Iran may provide that solution.

he'll find a way to undermine this approach

Israel got some balls

ellen would called that a myth

With all the emphasis Israel is putting on the difference between Palestinian rockets and Israeli shelling, it is surprising that she is not able to see the need for a different approach. At least most people, my self included, recognize the Palestinian deliberate targeting of civilians as an act of terror. The intelligent response would have been from the very beginning to invite for an independent investigation. Should the explosin on the beach turn out to be a mine or dud, then IDF would be cleared and (most) would have beleived the conclusion. Should it turn out to be a stray artillery-shell from IDF, then express regrett. Thats the difference between civilized behaviour and not.

One vital element is left out of your proposal; the requirement of intelligence! Whilst it is true that Israel continues to receive aid from the US, try not to ignore the fact that this is not for the purpose of paying salaries or even food. Also, try not to ignore what the US receives in return. You are comparing a model of a people that has progressed and contributed to the world well beyond any other since its inception due to hard work, to, a good for nothing people that has contributed nothing but terror and misery to their own people and the rest of the world. I guess that puts you in a sorry camp. You don't like Jews, do you?

Lisa , BC, Canada the palestinians are a refugee population fighting for their rights and land---what a nonsense The palestinians are not wanted by any arab country They are kept in refugee camps for propaganda value see below http://www.camera.org/index.asp?x_article=960&x_context=7

In fact, American defense and aerospace firms reap substantial benefits from U.S. aid to Israel, for it guarantees them a $1.35 billion captive market each year. Israel's economy produces enough tax revenue to fund most of its infrastructure needs. Both the U.S. and Israel stress the deterrent value of close cooperation. Israel being the only reliable Ally and democracy in the Middle East. The U.S has a reliable regional partner, which constrains Soviet military planning in the eastern Mediterranean and Middle East the close support of a superpower to offset Syria's Soviet connection which encourages Damascus to dream of a Greater Syria whose borders would include what now is Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and parts of Turkey Close Israeli-American cooperation enhances the stability of the Middle East by convincing radical Arab states that Israel cannot be dismembered by military means. US aid should be viewed not as a handout but as one element in a web of relationships creating a critically important U.S.-Israel strategic partnership. The U.S. serves Israel's interests and Israel serves those of the U.S
