2. #1...what are you talking about?...
(12.24.06)
what does that mean? If you are a lefty you are against fighting? I am no lefty but I assume that not all leftys are die hard against protecting Am Yisrael...of course there is sarid and the rest of meretz.
3. ANYONE EXPLAIN...WHATS A MODERATE, AND WHO?
MODERATE MEANS LESS ,   ROCKETS? LOLOLOL   (12.24.06)
4. Peretz the Fool
jeremy ,   Upper Galilee   (12.24.06)
Peretz is the one who has been calling for restrant, stopped the army from using artillary and planes to attack terrorists in Gaza. Now, he wants to take the cloves off again. It seems the more he becomes irrelevant with in the goverment and his party the more he shoots off his mouth. Poor poor boy, looks like he is going home, just like Barak, Yossi Beilin, and Peres.
5. Peretz Defense Minister???
jeremy ,   Upper Galilee   (12.24.06)
Is he a defense minister or a minister in defense of his seat? Please Labor vote the guy out all ready. He is only causing your party ruin
6. Restraint Blunder
Brod ,   USA   (12.24.06)
The restraint blunder is the greatest threat to Israel's national security interests. It is time the government removes the restraint and its impediment to ensure Israel's capability in defending itself and its citizens from the unrelenting external attacks. Israel needs to reinforce its deterrence to external aggressions by the quick, effective and decisive response of the IDF against the aggressors.
7. Olmert follows US orders!
naro ,   nyc   (12.24.06)
Dont expect Olmert to do anything without prior approval of the US. He is entirely a lap dog of Bush. Maybe there is no choice, but he will await orders from Washington!
8. Peretz can't be effective; even when he has a valid point,
Uzi ,   Haifa   (12.24.06)
he and his argument appear spurious and spin driven.
9. PM Peres Peretz Livni Selling Israel
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (12.24.06)
They are all Traitors
10. Naro #7
Brod ,   USA   (12.24.06)
Israel is a sovereign country. It is not a colony of America. Hence, it does not need America to make decisions for its internal/external affairs and national security interests. Bush has nothing to do with how Israel responds to external aggressions.
11. What, after all, is Israel's policy?
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (12.24.06)
Olmert et. al. need to recognize that clarity in policy has merit - indeed, it's essential. To say that Israel "may" reconsider its restraint policy if the Qassems continue is to suggest that Israel may continue to sit on its hands for the foreseeable future. If one "red line" after another is crossed, threats to respond "maybe" have no effect. What, after all, *is* Israeli policy? Are its guiding doctrines anything other than expediency and improvisation?
12. Defend, Destroy, Disrupt,Detain,and Direct
Umm El Kul Naqba   (12.24.06)
1. Defend Israel Citizens of Sderot and surroundings. IT IS THE GOVT's PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY TO DEFEND ITS CITIZENS. 2. Destroy the rocket launchers, the terrors who launch the rockets,etc. While they think they have impunity, strike maximizing the terrorist casualties. 3. Do everything necessary to disrupt the smuggling or weapons and money, and disrupt all terrorist activities. 4. Detain all Israeli captives. When PALs are not suggesting returning Shalit, IT IS INNANE THAT WE SHOULD RELEASE ANY PAL TERRORISTS. 5. Direct money that otherwise would have gone to PALs to instead pay for bomb shelters, safe rooms, and all other necessities to protect the citizens of Sderot and surroundings. Again, Israel should be launching Qassam like rockets at the general area where Qassams are launched at us. An eye for an eye, A Qassam for a Qassam. Do not let them spin this into a David and Goliath. Simply shoot rockets at them inaccurately. Where they fall they fall. When they stop we stop. Everyone can understand this simple logic and they cannot win if we exploit their weakness instead of their exploiting ours.
13. olmert and peretz are guilty of MURDER
Arie ,   Afula   (12.24.06)
IDF spots the cells and are ORDERED NOT to take defensive measures? The time for the coup has come and the time for our providing imams olmert and peretz for targeted removal with extreme prejudice.
14. Time for Vote of lack of confidence and bring govt down
Umm El Kul Naqba   (12.24.06)
It is clear that Olmert is operating against the wishes of Israelis, against their safety, and against their better interests. It is time for a vote of lack of confidence and to bring this govt. down.
15. REFUSING to Protect Jews is A CRIME Against HUMANITY
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.24.06)
Where are the Jewish patriots who believe that Jews should have human rights? The human right not to be victims of Muslim terror attacks. The human right not be murdered. The human right for Israel to not be defeated. Israel - take to the streets now in massive street protests!
