1. Olmert's Kadima govt has been a disaster
John ,   sderot   (11.21.06)
Before the IDF left philadelphia route hamas said how hard it was to smuggle weapons. Since IDF left 30 tons of explosives had been smuggled into rafah. We have a pm who cares about land dealings not sderot. He said only 15 people have died in the attacks. We have a defense minister who stops artillery fire. The rockets are getting more accurate and hamas now has sophisticated communication rooms to communicate wtih the qassam cells. Hamas and islamic Jihad also now have grad rockets that can reach 25km. Olmert won't call another election until 2010 and he has the majority in the knesset to stay in power.
2. And obviously ...
Francois   (11.21.06)
Olmert, Peretz and Halutz are doing nothing to stop these shellings.
3. To fix this we need a two step process
(11.21.06)
1. New Government Then 2. Flatten Gaza Problem is solved No more games, No more mercy
4. Good feeling?
deft one ,   dubai, UAE   (11.21.06)
Now you know exactly how the palestinians and the lebanese feel when israel bombs from the sky. its not such a good feeling after all is it? imagine the qassam rockets, but times that by 10,000...thats what palestinians and lebanese face on a daily basis...
5. What's Good For Me Is Good For You
emanon ,   USA   (11.21.06)
Israel should begin returning rocket fire, mortor fire, small arms fire, throwing stones, etc indiscriminately in the opposite direction. Oh wait . . . the UN will then pass another resolution saying the Jews are agressors and must be stoppped. I'm sorry, I forgot. Jews are not supposed to fight back. We are supposed to willingly disappear back into history.
6. Very logical. the land is not theirs.
Ruth ,   Chicago, USA   (11.21.06)
When the land isn't yours why should you stay there? Get out of Palestine settlers. I wonder how it would be if real "rockets" are fired at them and not home-made pipes with some rotten explosives that aren't more than some fireworks.
7. Raze Gaza to the ground and rebuild Sderot as the capital of
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (11.21.06)
8. 2 Days Ago
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
Olmert was slamming Gaydamak's evacuation of Sderot. Has Olmert done anything positive to the situation there? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3330018,00.html
9. ISRAEL THIS IS PATHETIC
TD ,   London, UK   (11.21.06)
This is pathetic. Israel, get a backbone and eliminate this threat before you have missiles raining down on you from Lebanon and Gaza : at the same time. These people have been given chance after chance, offer after offer, for years. Their sole purpose is to kill Jews. Don't waste your own people on the savages. Use whatever weapons you need to, after the predictable media storm Israel will still be standing and Gaza non-existent.
10. Can it get worse than this? I don't think so
enzo ,   london,uk   (11.21.06)
11. #6...your logic stinks....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.21.06)
People like you are the reason terror exists. You want Israel to give in and appease terror? What a great world we would live in if you ran it. Get real Ruth!
12. Sderot in the last elections:
Aaron ,   Ra'anana   (11.21.06)
LABOR (amir peretz) 25% KADIMA (olmert) 11 % methinks they regret their votes for the useless Amir Peretz and Ehud Olmert
13. Sderot Suffers, Politicians Make Speeches
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.21.06)
When missiles begin falling on Ashkelon, will they have to flee also? Will our politicians still be making useless speeches? I don't want to hear about "no military solution" because that is total BS. The rockets will stop if we make the cost unbearable to Hamas & Fatah leadership. Target them personally & Kassams will stop. No exceptions, including Abu Mazen.
14. #5 Have You Forgotten That Israel is Run By Weaklings
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.21.06)
and self-hating liberal, left-wing Jewish fools momentarily? See #3 how to "fix this".
15. road map to peace having great success
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.21.06)
Israel retreated from Gaza for president Bush's road map last year. Today ,It does look like there is much success in Israel's quest for peace. Israel has done everything for the Road Map and now harvests the fruit of this agreement in Sderot. I think more success is coming to Ashkelon and elsewhere in Israel by way of the peace process . The plan is working . WHEN THERE ARE NO MORE JEWS THAN THERE WILL BE PEACE. Wake up fools of Israel,That is the plan. DUMP YOUR LEADERS WHO FOLLOW THE ROAD MAP AND DEFEAT YOUR ENEMIES WHILE YOU CAN.
16. #4 Dubai's dubious opinion
Sam ,   NY   (11.21.06)
Dubai, Yes we know how it feels,because your people started attacking since 1948. If our enemies stopped attacking,we 'd stop retaliation. Can't talk to you guys beacause you say you want to destroy us. You need to make the next moves.
17. #6 ruth
peggy ,   UK   (11.21.06)
maybe you would like a few of these "fireworks" falling on you...stupid bitch. and yes palastines settlers should get out, well away from Israel.
18. Everything is turning up Ahmadinejad
malcolm   (11.21.06)
19. Hey Ruth
leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (11.21.06)
Your'e right. The occupation must end, and the Palestinians (Philistines) must leave Yehuda and Shimron. KAHANE CHAI !
20. #6 Ruth, thank you for telling the truth
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (11.21.06)
Ruth (#6) wants the settlers of Sderot to leave. Sderot, of course, lies on that part of Israel created by the UN in 1948, it is not land considered "occupied" in the 1967 war. So for Ruth, and a majority of Palestinian supporters, the entire state of Israel is on occupied land and for Ruth, Tel Aviv is occupied land as is Hevron. For Ruth and a majority of Palestinian supporters, Israel should not exist. While Israel need not debate their own existence with the Arabs, they need to acknowlesge that this is what the Arabs think and believe. They do not want to coexist. The only solution, therefore, is for us to remain in Israel or for them to leave evey inch of 1948 and 1967 Israel. Who goes and who stays?
21. Olmert Destroys Israel
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (11.21.06)
Piece by piece. Voting for a corrupt pacifist has consequences.
22. Israel, when a Qassam comes WHY YOU DONT RESPONCE WITH SAME
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul / Turkey   (11.21.06)
Lets stay honest. I am just talking about these rockets sendings. Lets be a judge for a moment. when you hit me, I have right to hit you back. But, there will be a little problem : Hamas cant hit that good. But Israel can hit good. THAN WE WILL BE ALL UPSET, ANGRY. WHAT A BAD ISRAEL !!! can you get the point ? I think Hamas using this point. am I wrong ? or what I miss to not understand ? Note: Of cource I dont want Israel send rockets to them. BUT I WANT HAMAS STOP SENDING ROCKETS. I dont care the technical details of middle east. I am just talking about sending blind rockets into civilian places. HAMAS IS WRONG ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. I BLAME THEM. Atilla Karagözoğlu
23. Suddenly the world is calm!!!@$%$ hypocrites !!!
(11.21.06)
24. Sderot - The Shame of a Nation
David Hes ,   Toronto Canada   (11.21.06)
Olmert, only you and your party are to blame for the disasterous state of the nation. Sderot deserves the Nations protection. If it were Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, the IDF would be ordered to a full scale operation, unless that is, irresponsible government officials are running the nation, as is the case now. Nice photo of Mr. Olmert and Arnie in Hollywood. Very responsible. Where is the conscience of Israel? Where is Barak or Netanyahu? Is anyone going to realize that at this rate the Palestinians are getting more ambitious and more daring and more and better equiped. As for Israel, Mr. Olmert keeps smiling the smile of a village idiot unable to comprehend what is happening and unable to find time to evaluate and respond. Just too busy smiling and looking good???
25. Well said Ruth
(11.21.06)
you are right what's those firework beside the unligal cluster bombs which the IDF use against civilians , and to DR terrorists or resistences are exist because people like you not like Ruth because you are standing beside the land thiefs and this is enough reason to creat terror attack against the thiefs and the against the people who support them like you and your government and this resistence will never stop untill the Palistinians gets their rights back .... you can shout and make your bla bla as usual but it will not help anybody and even i will not read it ... go on bla bla ....lol
26. #22 Atilla
(11.21.06)
start reading things other than the Zionist BS crap Dogan Group feeds to you. wrong information, wrong opinion my friend.
27. #6 Ruth
Don Saliman ,   Nahal Oz   (11.21.06)
Don't let all us know of how ignorant you are of this land and country called Israel. You are sure brave sitting in your home in Chicago,telling us about real"rockets" and for your information these home-made bombs kill and injure people. Ruth,unless you have been in our situation,don't belittle us and unless you have the facts, don't comment.
28. Israel is doomed
Arnold Shwartznegger ,   LA   (11.21.06)
Until the goverment becomes more moral and conservative to its Jewish Identity, Israel will only be looked at by the world as weak. Get rid of the gay girly men that kiss up to UN tuches and who care so much for human rights (except for the orthodox of course) and then we can see real Jewish power.
29. ISRAEL IS DOOMED
MOSHE ,   NEW YORK USA   (11.22.06)
EVERYBODY IN ISRAEL IS WELCOME TO MIGRATE TO U.S.A. AND MAKE AMERICA STRONGER
30. sderot
sam pozner ,   new york   (11.25.06)
beit hanoun has to be empty or sderot completly abandoned . next ashkelon.i remember sharon said that settlers in gaza defended israel. what happened?
