The EU and UN will shortly issue their condemnations criticizing Israel's disproportionate response. Imagine living in a country where terrorists are launching mortars/rockets at civilians every single day. I don't know a single country or group of people who wouldn't fight back. Way to go Israel. Get more of these bast*rds!

How many times have we heard this before? This doesn't mean a damn thing, we've killed hundreds of "masterminds", "terrorists", and in this case the "cheif of rocket operations", but have the rockets ever stopped falling? No. We need a truce, now, that's the only way they ever stopped, and thats how the have to stop now.

Ten gone quietly, more to go as them make more noise

After all - I never said that Israelis can't defend themselves!

These few lines from Ynet are a good reminder that we are NOT facing a political issue but STRICTLY a war of religion which has nothing to do with the Palestinian issue, even if it is politically incorrect to say so. Jihad is no more no less than the holy war against the " infidels" and applies to all the extremist Islamic entities in the middle east. It reminds us that the strings are NOT pulled from Gaza by some non-entities like Hanniyeh, Abu-this and Abu that, but from "abroad" and are a part of a bigger scheme. As for the information regarding the"chief" of rocket operation ...it is purely laughable ! A chief ? is there such a thing as a "chief " in any Islamic organisation ?

if doesn't stop all rocket firing but for sure eliminating the Terrorists helps a lot much better than capitulating like you propose

And also good information . But , there is a but , i agree with David , i don't think this will stop them from trying to kill Israeli citizens . As long as they don't understand that we are determined to stay here in OUR country , they will continue . At the end maybe , when their people won't accept their sufferings anymore , will they understand it .

Truce? Maybe your name should be Yosi Beilin. You certainly aren't a David. You would have had Melech David surrender his sling and stones to Goliat and said to him,"Please mister, don't hit me so hard, I'll be your slave". What do you think these arabs want, peace? Wrong, piece, in fact they want the whole thing and, news flash, to kill us all! Genius!

The terrorists should know that there is payment for any of their actions. If they attack, harrass, bomb and murder civilians, then they should expect to be hinted an eliminated too. They are not talkig about "retaliation". "Retaliation" comes only after you've been attacked without any reason. And in this case, the Hamas and Jihad "reasons" have been flying into Sderot every day since Israel left Ghaza behind. So dear Hamas and Jihad murderers - no need to be so angry when IDF retaliates. This is our natural right and obligation to hunt you down until you stop your atrocities and crimes against humanity and attempts to a new genocide against the Jewish people and Israel. Your fate is know beforehand so prepare your graves in time.

You do not do truces with enemies when they are weak - you destroy them! When you have the chance, destroy your enemy, otherwise you do a truce and not the other way around! This is from the Qur'an. So let's apply Islam deceiving tactics for a change. A truce with the terrorists will only allow them to re-arm and have better options to kill you next time when they decide that the truce is over. We've been there many times before, until the terrorists decided that they are strong enough to start their atrocities again. No "david", no truce - only full peace or total enemy capitulation or destruction, otherwise fight until either of the above is achieved!

Thousands of rockets have been fired at Israeli civilians with barely a word being said outside of Israel. Now that Israel has retaliated against the perpertrators of these acts you can expect antisemites(no point in calling them anything else) worldwide to condemn Israel for protecting its civilians.

They sound so hopping mad about their dead and wounded . Do they think they are doing some sort of religious slaughter of Jews in accordance with their "handbook". In previous posts I always say Israel must out-terrorise them .DONT PLAY THE WAY THEY WANT US TO!!! ALWAYS Nightly raids .Never letting them sleep .Walls and barriers. Good intelligence.Surveillance all the time .. Problem is that Pals believe it is "divine will" to murder Jews.

If he was awake, he would NEVER have allowed Tzahal to defend us!

I noticed wartnose grows his hair long on one side and combs it over across his bald spot. Perhaps a combination nickname would work: comb-over-wartnose ???

destroy your enemy before they destroy you is the dominant theme, you can pray for peace but you must prepare for war

Olmert just flexing his muscles after the annapolis surrender, to show he is strong. This should have started years ago,a nd now, they must finish the job.
