1. What is the solution?
kais ,   Qatar   (11.21.06)
Very Simple: Palestinians will stop firing rockets once Israel stops its military machine from bombingb and shelling Palestinians. It is up to Israel to agree and stick to a cease fire agreement. Otherwise why should Israel enjoy PEACE while the Paletinians perish and rot in cages (Gaza) waiting for an Isaeli war plane bomb or Artilery shell to release them from this suffering! Either everyone lives in Peace or no one does! Sorry but this is the new fact Israel has to cope and live wtih until it realizes that Arabs have rights and are equal to Israelis...
2. where is the stern gang when we need them?
Yair ,   Tel Aviv   (11.21.06)
3. Move the UN building to Sderot for 24 hours..
Dan ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
and the anti-Israeli UN-politicians will wet their pants which perhaps will bring them to the reality... Gaza should be bombed day and night until the terrorist groups either die or surrender. Time to stop listening to the UN and EU who only want to hurt Israel. Anyone who dares to attack Israel and Israeli civilians must be eliminated immedeiately which will finally teach the people that Jewish blood is not for free any longer and never will be again.
4. They vowed not to stop firing rockets into Israel
Israel   (11.21.06)
Then surely we MUST vow to keep the gunships and F-16s firing missles into the miserable piece of land. Only our missiles are mightier.
5. To AM ISRAEL
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (11.21.06)
Go on voting for Kadima, merets, avoda, and other centre-left parties and get what you asked for Hope Am Israel uses a couple of more neurons next time we go to the ballots
6. UN clowns
Barry ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
UN spokesperson in Israel, Christopher Gans told Ynet: "Arbour regrets the events. She said the fire is illegal, even if it is directed at military targets. It's a flagrant violation of international law." DUH !
7. To #1 and to #3
D. ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
To #1: Who are you kidding? When dealing with terrorist there is no peace solution, the minute Israel "leaves them alone" they just bide their time and get reinforcements.. TO #3...GREAT IDEA...I think the UN would have a ball staying in Sderot for 24 Hrs., maybe we should let them stay a bit longer??? ha,ha,ha!
8. # 1 To Kais, Qatar
Dan ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
Since you found your way to Ynet, you should be able to find your way beyond Arab propaganda. Israel left Gaza last year and the Arabs of Gaza responded with new terror against Israel. As long as Israel will not be able to live in peace, the Arabs will not do it either. There are 22 Arab states in the Middle East but only one tiny Jewish state. There will only be peace in the Middle East once the Arabs stop their racist policies towards non-Arabs and non-Moslems and learn that the whole Middle East does not only belong to Arabs.
9. Military Targets ??
Jenin Jenin   (11.21.06)
Is she out of her mind ? what military target ina chiken factory ?
10. #1 Solution
gabriela ben ari   (11.21.06)
Arabs and leftists saw as the solution the total ethnical cleansing of Jews from gaza. Been there, done it Now you've got your independent state and cannot put minimum morals to it. Cage? your problem! Now that gaza is another country Israel has every right to shut its borders as regards to any other nation. Problem is you still need to come begging on all four to get some work in Israel. Go to Egypt Von voyage
11. is being a human shield a human right, according to the UN?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (11.21.06)
should israel "respect" the "rights" of palestinians who voluntarily enter the conflict zone for the purpose of being human shields? apparently so, since whenever terrorists use human shields or palestinians voluntarily put their bodies in harm's way, israel is expected to "respect" the human shields. so, in other words, israel's right to defend itself is less of a "right" than the terrorists and their human shields "rights". the UN is a morally bankrupt organization that has no "right" to tell anyone what is "right" or "wrong".
12. #1 get out of lalal land
arabs gotta stop ,   World   (11.21.06)
we all know if the muslims put down their weapons there will be no more violence. but if israel does then the blood thirsty muslims would slaughter the jews just like they say every day.
13. #1 jews&christians were in the ME way b4 u& ur camel humpers
JEW ,   M.E.   (11.21.06)
14. More UN double talk
M. Harltey ,   Atlanta, US   (11.21.06)
This side of the UN on Monday: Lobbing Qassams is illegal, and Israel has the right to defend itself. Other side of the UN on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: Israel is committing illegal atrocities against Pali civilians, when it does defend itself. I think, that New York City traffic has made all of them stark-raving crazy. Move the UN to Darfur. That place should keep them busy with resolutions and reports for the next 100 years.
15. sderot
yoni ,   tel aviv   (11.21.06)
where were you - people of sderot -when the children of gush katif were traumatized by their own israeli brothers? so don't cry baby just when you feel the pain
16. what a stupied !!! world
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul / Turkey   (11.21.06)
what a stupied world !!! we make for ourself. human is finish. in fact, human has finished when he did born. the vision's dead-lock. this is my first war, I have been following (news). there is no place you can take. there is no normal men you can love. there is no normal act you can respect. First time I started understand MEN how deadly machine is. I always try to find what is not seen. Humanity is the one which not seen. SOME FIGHTS...SOME (AS ME) TALKS EMPTY . we all happy, when we go to bad (to sleep). what a good job I do for middle east !!! this is just f.cked up situation. I am talking about my stand against to all. I think, in deep, I dont care. THESE FEEDS OUR EGO. why we selfish ? but I have to tell when I see children and woman get hurted I lose my mind for a while. So, who are we. what we for. what do I have to teach my little doughter about world, humanity, Islam, Muslims, Israel, Jews, USA.... maybe this is a game. this all is game. created by the politicians. and we have our own rules. am I successfull with my role ? what did I learn ? WHAT DID I GIVE ?
17. Missed the UN by 200 meters.
Dr D ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
Can you imagine a direct hit. The UN would have find out an other malfunctioning IDF missile? The workers should have invited the UN delegation for launch and dinner and a good night sleep in Sderot.
18. the world simply don't care about sderot about jewish life
dovdevan ,   ashdod , israel   (11.21.06)
as you can see the world media don't care about jewish life !! the report are always unbalanced about sderot , the kassam are just "handcrafted " thing that don't kill !! the media just focused on the israeli "crimes " that kill civilians !! we haven't even the right to defend our self and they give us some good points only when we leave the territories !! sderot deserve the same UN resolution that condemned israel !!
19. Stop interfering with the security of the Country
enzo ,   london,uk   (11.21.06)
The UN and the lefties are undermining the security of Israel. I'm afraid it's going to get worse if they don't put an end to this bickering.
20. israel must defend its citizens
mich ,   jerusalem- israel   (11.21.06)
to# 1 I live here and I understand that from where you are ,you don't have a true picture of the situation. Israel does not bomb for the sake of bombing. It is being attacked non stop. No amount of peace agreements worked. In factfor every agreement that was signed ,we immediately were attacked and people died. The best thing that palestiniens could do for themselves is to stop trying to kill,and start wanting to built their country.
21. #1, Kais...are you really that dumb?
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.21.06)
Do you really believe the crap coming out of your mouth? If you do, then you have been misled, brainwashed or both. Israel has never attacked anyone for no reason. It has been threatened everytime it took military action. If your textbooks don't say this, time to read some real history, not the Arab version (lies). Palestinians hold their own fate in their hands and they always make the wroing choice regarding Israel. They choose terror, Isarel responds in kind. They chose hamas who openly say they want to destroy Isarel, but that means nothing to you? You are trully a fool.
22. #1 your ignorance is endearing...
Talula ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
But now it's time to grow up. It's laughable that you think Israel lives in peace. You are clearly blind, not to mention completely unread.
23. what military targets idiot?
Nora ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
24. to #1
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.21.06)
The arabs have no rights are are not even equal to microbes. We get a govt and the arabs will live in pieces not peace.And piss unto you kais.
25. She refused to meet with kidnapped soldiers' parents!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   (11.21.06)
this is unbelievable! may I remaind you that resolution 1701 stated they should be returned??? not only does the UN ignore that, they don't even hide the fact that they give a F**k if we are betrayed and the resolutions are not implemented as far as promisses made to us are concerned.
26. #1, ITS JUST THE OPPOSITE
SAM ,   USA   (11.21.06)
Think man, Think. Israel will do nothing if nothinmg is done to them. Palistionian terrorists stir up trouble and you know well enough the Israelis will counter attack. It seems that is what Palistinian terrorists respect. We saw Israel just withdraw from Gaza, giving Palistinians free reign with no Israeli overlords. Look what happens. You and the rest of the Arab world need to straighten out the Palistininan. It is time the Palistinian Arab take respoonsibility for thier actions aqnd statr building thier nation. If they leave Israel alone, they will not be bothered. You already know this.
27. The solution is to kill the enemy. Duh!!
Bernard Ross ,   St. Anns Bay Jamaica   (11.21.06)
This will be impossible to do without the usual jewish misgivings and guilt. Jews need to learn from their enemies, they need to learn how to be ruthless and merciless. The world will always say that the jew in the oven is behaving disproportionately.
28. She says on mpre objective word about our right
Arie ,   Afula   (11.21.06)
to self-defence, and she will surely become an EX UN envoy!
29. Adnan should have said this long ago
John ,   NZ   (11.21.06)
30. Israel, wanna stop the rockets?
Michael ,   Worland, USA   (11.22.06)
Start obeying G_D!. Then HE would cause your enemies to be at peace with you.
