Still no Israel retaliation to stop Kassams. Kassam attacks have become 'normal' Olmert, Barak, Peres, Livorni, All complete losers. I have achieved next to nothing in my life. What an idiot I am, I should have tried to be president of Israel, its requirment is to be a loser!!! Vote for me at the next election, I guarantee more Kassam attacks and more defeats at the hands of Hizbullah, Syria and Hamas. Vote for me !!!!!

Terror groups like to stick cameras in front of Israeli retaliation so that they can flash the pictures of injured and dead Palestinians around the Muslim world in the hope other Arabs and Moslems will come fight too. The pictures are also meant to arouse sympathy from naive Westerners to pressure Israel.

Where is Barak? Isn't he the Minister of Defense with outstanding track record as a General? Where is Lieberman? Why are they silent in the face of attacks on the homeland? Where is the Opposition Voice in all this? It is time Israel takes action to defend itself against these incessant attacks. It is time to say NO to all the internal and external elements that try to stop Israel from defending itself. It is time the political leaders take responsibility in defending the nation and country from external threats and attacks. Israel should NOT allow itself to be led to the slaughter place as a sacrificial lamb for the corruption, greed and sins of Antisemites and Islamist-Jihadists.

to be president of israeli you must be a corrupted womanizer and/or serial rapist and/or deluded leftist self-hating madman

Israel should retaliate immediately to draw out these ridiculous groups with their biased condemnations of Israel's self-defence. The imbalance on this issue has retarded Israel's right to self defence and has weakened the IDF. Time to stop caring what the world thinks and start defending your country!

Expect Olmert to respond by releasing more terrorists from prison, asap.

At first glance we all wonder why Israel is not responding to Hamas. I am beginning to think that Olmert, Barak et al know something that we don't, especially when you consider this week's secretive strike on Syria and why they are holding back from flattening Hamas once and for all. If Iran is trying to orchestrate a war on all fronts that has Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, (proxies or otherwise) and Hamas, Gaza seems the obvious flashpoint. It would appear that Syria and Iran are where Israel's resources are focused and tying up the IDF dealing with Gaza is not the way to go - especially if a war opens on all fronts simultaneously.

What is very hard to understand is, why is this issue newsworthy, Shimon Peres the current President of Israel proclaimed, Kassams, Smassams what is the problem that Sedorot is constantly complaining about. The Prime Minister publicly proclaims we have no solution to stop these attacks. The Defense minister using his vast knowledge as a military genius, institutes the Rules of Engagement, for dealing with this non event (in his opinion) by only going after the actual identifiable perpetrators as they have already launched their rockets. The Foreign Minister opinion that Only a Political solution will stop these attacks. All the above esteemed Ministers elected by their party hacks, Not by the people and voting citizens of Israel are all of the same opinion. Disenfranchise all the Israelis who gave their all to move into outlying communities as a buffer of protection to Israel, first by labeling them with a derogatory term as “Settlers” then preparing a special IDF force far greater then was used to overcome the terrorist organization Hizzbola, with the special task of forcibly removing them from their homes and destroying them completely, ethnic cleansing the entire ancient Jewish Homeland of any vestige of Jews, all for the false promises of proven liars, killers, terrorists, because either they are self hating Jews or they somehow are being convinced by others that are not subjected to the pain and suffering if such action fails as it has failed for the past 70 years, maybe, hopefully, give it one more chance, if they succumbed to the Islamic theory of truth they will live for a period of peace how long only God knows. I guess that the pat answer of other Israelis, if you feel like this then why do you not make “Aliah” and change the situation. Only an idiot who suffered the trials and tribulations of the Holocaust concentration camps put himself in such a cesspool of deceit and palatable danger from the momentary tranquility of living in Miami Beach Florida USA that in many sections the primary language spoken is Hebrew. All I can wish the suffering Israelis is a change of direction, a change of priorities, a change of attitude, and regain their pride as a free and independent democracy, to be free of being in servitude to the vagrancies of foreign governments that have hidden agendas non of which are for the benefit of Israel Shana Tova

I'm sure glad we now have a former chief of staff and experienced defense minister unlike the last one - what a change in security for the Gaza border towns!

I realize since the Thursday raid in which IDF war planes destroyed missile bases nuclear reactors clandestine arms shipments 6 Viet Cong armored divisions opps sorry wrong war what else while fighting N**is up on the home front losing soccer games to English soccer rugby cricket teams at Wembley stadium while dodging Quassam rockets blowing up IDF army bases while conducting military operations in Gaza runing in to Camels along lonely Negev high ways... ugh... tired bush pooped am 63 not 13 or 23 RIGHT ??? THANK YOU... M. Segal

US/EU/Israeli leaders are the greatest encouragement to Muslim terrorists. Global jihad has achieved its most stupendous success in Israel. The US/EU give millions of dollars to Muslim terrorist favorites-Palestinian Authority security forces who have MURDERED MORE JEWS THAN HAMAS. The Palestinian Authority receive advanced US military training and US weapons in the war against Jews. Muslim terror attacks of rock throwing, molotov cocktail throwing, shooting, stabbing, roadside bombs planted, rocket attacks, Muslim human bomb killer attacks - the maiming and murder of thousands of Jewish innocents - are REWARDED with Israeli vicious ethnic Jew cleansing and the seizure of Jewish land and assets for expansionist global Islam. In psychological terms, it is known as positive reinforcement - rewarding behavior that is considered desirable. Never-ending violence and non-stop war is the natural result of the perverted "peace" process.
