this is nothing to what the israelis did in gaza...sooner or later one of these rockets will land in the middle of a crowd in sederot then you will know what the gazans were feeling when your rockets landed in their crowds...enjoy the taste of your own medicine...Sederotians time to go back to your homes in the US of A!

Over a thousand INNOCENT CIVILIANS were killed by the Arabs in bomb attacks. Have you forgotten? Well, we haven't. And many more were injured. Besides that, thousands of rockets were fired into Israel. Most of the rockets, thank G-d, caused "only" damages - and that's only because G-d is protecting us. So don't tell me your baloney that IDF killed a few civilians. Those who were killed were NOT civilians anyhow. If they're used as human shields, they're part of the terrorists gangs. There is no reason they should be standing in the middle of the fire.

It's a little town that was built for refugees who fled the Arab nations. 900,000 Middle Eastern Jews fled the Arab nations shortly after 1948. Around 600,000 of these refugees moved to Israel (thus doubling Israel's Jewish population almost overnight.) Peretz lives in Sderot. His family came from Morocco. Many other such families are in Sderot. They don't hurt anyone. They just made nice, modest lives for themselves in Israel after leaving the Arab nations. They didn't go there from the USA.

and where exactly is OUR outcry??? To people overseas,ok , maybe it's a fair reaction, but those who live here? Why should the world react???? WE don't!!!!

Convince your husband to stop impersonating a minister of defence, take on an easier portfolio, and let someone who CAN do the job, DO the job!

Blessed, He had so many flocks and herds and servants that the Philistines envied him. Genesis 26:14 Envied, So all the wells that his father's servants had dug in the time of his father Abraham, the Philistines stopped up, filling them with earth. Genesis 26:15 Prevailing inheritance, Isaac reopened the wells that had been dug in the time of his father Abraham, which the Philistines had stopped up after Abraham died, and he gave them the same names his father had given them. Genesis 26:18 Apostasy, O LORD, do not your eyes look for truth? You struck them, but they felt no pain; you crushed them, but they refused correction. They made their faces harder than stone and refused to repent. Jeremiah 5:3 Return, Should God then reward you on your terms, when you refuse to repent? You must decide, not I... Job 34:33 And do this, understanding the present time. The hour has come for you to wake up from your slumber, because our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. Romans 13:11

Israelis aim for terrorists who kill civilians on purpose. They apologize for hitting civilians. Palistinians aim for civilians and claim "responsibility" or "credit" when they kill Israelis. IDF kill them because they continuously attack Israel, which pulled out a year ago. Israel wanted to help them work the greenhouses and build an economy, build a train to the West Bank. They haven't gotten past the kill Jews mentality. Get the facts straight, you bigot.

I would like to express my sorry feeling about the lady and the wound ones. This is terror. This is what THE DARKNESS want. I dont care where civilians get hurted, I will always stay as human and will blame on who does it. to me, there is no difference who kills. to me there is ALSO no difference who got murdered. in Israel or in Palestine I BLAME ALL TERROR. I AM A CIVILIAN. I just can blame on world Leaders. Sincerely Atilla Karagözoğlu

Here is the difference, fools: Hamas uses civilians, women and children, as "human shields" to surround their "brave fighters" and to sit on top of their ammo dumps and squat next to their rocket launchers. When the "human shields" get hit, they celebrate the PR bonanza. The lives of their own people mean less to them than a Reuters photo op. ATTENTION. BTSELEM, the use of "human shields" is a WAR CRIME. "Human shields" are not protected under the Geneva Conventions and if "human shields" are hit protecting enemy combatants, the FAULT BELONGS TO THE ENEMY COMBATANTS WHO HIDE BEHIND THEM. The people in Sderot and Ashkelon are not "human shields" guarding IDF facilities, nor are they "settlers" on "occupied territory." They are just ordinary citizens going about their ordinary business. GOT IT?

Jesus (i.e. Jewish) said, "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and then turn and tear you to pieces." "Matthew 7:6 Dogs and pigs represent the cruel, ungrateful, ungodly and vicious... Judea and Samaria are the pearls. Israel is the one casting its pearls of hope and trust to the thoroughly wicked. Scripture confirms that anyone seeking the destruction of Israel is thoroughly wicked. and, "...I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." Matthew 5:44-45 The first part perfectly aligns with God's law of "sowing and reaping". The second part aligns with the reminders in Job and Psalms. God bless Israel. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?book_id=47&chapter=5&verse=43&end_verse=45&version=31&context=context

I would like to express my sorry feeling about the lady. She was an civilian. She did have nothing with that ugly fight. THIS IS TERROR. TERROR HAS MANY FACES. WE DONT WANT TO SEE THIS HAPPENING INTO ANY NATION CIVILIANS. As I blame the politicians before for the Palestine civilians, I now blame the groups or the politicians about these attacks. THIS KIND OF TERROR JUST MAKE CIVILIANS AFRAID. MAKE THEM FEAR. LIVE WITH FEAR. THIS IS WHAT THE DARKNESS WANT. ALL POLITICIANS ARE SAFE TO LIVE. THEY ARE NOT ENOUGH TO FIND A SOLUTION. We dont lose our humanity. We dont. AND WE WONT. I dont care about technicial details of Middle East Politics. I am sure this terror will go on and on. This is to me an endless war. This is not a fair fight (both) This is not religions fight. This is a fight between BLOODDY POLITICIANS. So, I hope they sleep with dead souls. I hope all of them go to hell. The hate has nothing with religions. I dont know. SOME SAY, THE POLITICIANS (BOTH SIDES) ARE VERY WELL EDUCATED.... THEY ALL SELFISH. THEY ALL WANT TO CHANGE THE HISTORY AND BECOME A HERO. HERE YOU GO. MAKE THE WORLD BLOOD. WORLD IS YOURS. Sincerely Atilla Karagözoğlu

Mr. "observation" That's the whole point of demanding that the Pali's stop the terrorism, responding with military force to stop the Arabs that have been trying to eradicate Israel since before it was reborn in 1948.

I sometimes wonder how the residents of California's City of Beverly Hills would react, if hundreds of Kassam type rockets hit there in a one year period? Would the mayor apologize to those who launched the rockets, if a police force managed to arrest some of those responsible, and a few of their supporters were injured in the process? Would the residents go back to their movie studios, and accept the status quo? Could the retail store owners look away at all the damage done by the rockets, most especially if many landed in "safe areas". How would the new governor elect react, not to forget the Sec. of Defense? I mean, all those wealthy people subjected to Kassam firings. My point is that no one would stand for it. Israel simply doesn't know what to do. It's about time it stops being afraid of the UN's condemnations and resolutions and concern itself with security. These Kassams, and Katyusha launches are the beginning of a phase in the M.E. conflict..which will only get much worse. For starters, forget the idea of a two states side by side. Secondly, each time a Kassam is fired, Israel should up the retaliation and hold Hamas directly responsible. Israel's prisons must be emptied, the result of lots of 12.00 hangman's nooses.

and start to fire rockets, artillery and motars at random and whoever gets hits that's must be the will of allah! the Israeli's obviously wouldn't do this because of the casualites it would inflict which proves #14,17,19, &31 to be full of shit!

Ahead !!! go on voting for "moderate central and "middle right" parties and all you'll get is this. Anything right is considered either "too right" or "too extremist", either by the public or by the media which will use every word to wash your brains to make you believe so Once you put your own reasoning into your decisions, the One upstairs will blast onto your own eyes Who is the boss.

does it make it less bad? I believe shelling in general is bad and especially when the intention is to hit civilians.

i totally agree with you. It's like the world and the israeli government is sleeping or in disneyland!!! There is no peace!!! Who cares about the palestinians.......did the jews that got thrown out of muslim countries get compensated???? i dont think so!!! It's disturbing to see how the world can possibly look at arabs as victims.....RIDICULOUS!

Both sides responses on this issue are full of hate, people who are on the Palestinian side are claiming this murder is justified, it is NOT. Some on the Pro_Israeli side are encouraging random killing of Palestinians, that is equally discusting. Palestinian terrorists must be dealt with, on the other hand Israel, as a civilized nation must show restraint. _Salam and Shalom

TERROR HAS EVOLVED FASTER THAN SOCIETY HAS COMPREHENDED OR ADAPTED. Current laws and military strategies have not kept pace with the evolution of warfare especially with respect to terror of the 21st century. Terrorists exploit the humanity, morality, legal systems, and tactical weaknesses of countries to maximize their terrorist impact and corner major powers into submission simply by outlasting them. The Afghans did this to Russia. Iraq defeated USA this way in the first Gulf war. Chechnyans are trying this against Russia. The key to success is to beat the terrorists at their own game. Today the PAL terrorist use the rhetoric of occupation to justify a fallacious argument about their right to resist. This is further spun into justification for Qassam launches, stabbing, driveby shootings, suicide bombings and all other forms of terror. The Qassam launches, which unfortunately killed a 57 year old woman and caused another to lose both legs, has been transformed into a nationalistic symbol of resistance for the PALs. The incursions and specific targeting of terrorists have been subverted to become a rallying point for PAL resistence and vehicle to gain press exposure, sympathy from nations lacking an objective moral compass, and a catalyst for UN debates. Through the chicanery of smoke and mirrors the PAL terrorist try to hide their culpability as the aggressor and initiator or all terror. All IDF efforts to minimize PAL civilian casualites are counter productive. The incursions and targeted assasinations endanger IDF soldiers unnecessarily. The PALs spin it into a David and Goliath battle and try to fool people into believing that the PALs are poor victims instead of victims of their own terror. The PALs are incapable of understanding cause and effect in complex terror and focused counter terror operations. The solution is to dramatically simplify the equation to rocket for rocket and eye for an eye so that the PALs can comprehend it and not be able to spin it for the world. This means that Israel should use low tech highly inaccurate rockets randomly fired in the general vacinity of Qassam launches against Israeli cities and fall where they may. This will create an image of parity instead of the argument of disproportionate force, high tech vs. low tech, and major military army vs. armed militias. All the other tools in the arsenal can be reserved for an emergency contingency plan and deployed when really needed. The argument suddenly becomes dramatically simple and defensible in all quarters: Stop shooting the Qassams at our civilians and we will stop shooting Qassam-like rockets at you. This is so simple that even the PALs can understand it once they suffer enough rockets to their cities. The argument can easily be made in every other forum as well. Ironically the "parity" of weapons turns out to be tactically advantageous to Israel because of population and architectural density differences between Gaza and Israeli targeted cities. In conclusion PAL terrorists will quickly stop firing Qassams when Israel learns to respond in kind.
