1. Ok now I'm getting worried.
captianxanax ,   K-8 israel   (12.23.07)
Ok now I'm getting worried. If our supply of Carlsberg beer is destroyed ill have to emigrate David
2. We will consider tough action ...
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (12.23.07)
When Kassams hit the Knesset building & not a minute sooner. Only consider, mind you.
3. When the Knesset will be honored with A GOOD QASSAM BOMB
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.23.07)
those sleepy heads in there, "might" wake up from their slumber.
4. rockets and olmert
marcel   (12.23.07)
Olmert is now repeating what he did in lebanon. He is shooting his mouth off saying israel will put at end to rockets and trying to appear tough.All idf actions to date will not stop rocket attacks.The idf can reduce it by eliminating the hamas leadership and firing massive land rockets into gaza civilians. These civilians support the rocket launchers and give them hiding places. just as the soviets blitzed the germans with rockets, so the israelis should launch massive salvos of rockets into civilian areas and kill as many arabs as possible. Then the gazas will force the PLO to stop or reduce it. In the meantime, stop supporting olmert, get rid of him as he is a cancer to Israel.You don't want to do it so step down and force new elections. let Yaalon and landau take over.
5. 2 years till iron dome?
ed ,   london UK   (12.23.07)
Until that time, the rockets will reach tel aviv, so the hits against gaza terror must be intensified, and hamas/jihad be destroyed.
6. Non-Response to Rockets
Seymour Paine ,   New York, NY   (12.23.07)
Of course, writing from the relative safety of New York City might mean I would not suffer any consequences from my advice, however, I am completely unable to comprehend the inaction of the Israeli government. If rockets were launched from Canada or Mexico into the US, and those governments did nothing to stop them, I'm quite certain the US government, indeed, most governments in the world, would take whatever measures necessary to halt the attacks. Why Israel is different is beyond me. The solution to the attacks is quite easy to state: Turn off the electricity, water and food into Gaza, blockade it completely; create a no-go zone extending the limit of the Qassams from the border of Gaza inward into Gaza; raze everything within that zone; kill anyone entering that zone. There, problem solved! Time: About one week or less.
7. It is goingto get worse according to the Prophet Zephaniah.
Rivkah   (12.23.07)
He says the Lord will kill every Philistine (Palestinian) on the coasts of Canaan (Israel) AFTER ASHKELON is a DESOLATION and Ekron and Ashdod are driven out in the noon day. It may be an earthquake or a tsunami that the Lord will use to kill every Palestinian in Gaza, and the coasts of Israel. The prophet does NOT say ANY Jews will die, so the Jews are not there when this happens unless they are prisoners like Gilad Shalit and even he may survive since the prophecy is specific for Palestinians.
8. Missiles Softly and Gently *Landing*
ya ,   Israel   (12.23.07)
It's all one kind battle, with angels wearing masks want to humanely euthanize the Jewish people, utilizing the loving and nurturing Scuds, Katyushas, Al Kudz and Qassams that liltingly fall like sprinkling rain on our cities. Who said destruction has to be violent? It's demise in slow motion. Right under out noses. No mess, no fuss. Almost like cuddling a teddy bear. And the politicans *clink* their glasses in joyful celebration.
9. At least learn from TURKEY
ben ,   singapore   (12.23.07)
Turkish fighter jets bombed Kurdish rebel targets in northern Iraq on / in the Kurdish-run region said. the jets bombed an area about 50 miles north of Irbil near the border with Turkey for about an hour and a half. NO COMPROMISE IAF.
10. Does anyone else find it a little bit creepy
Creeped Out ,   usa   (12.23.07)
that Islamic Jihad names a weapon of destruction after a place that is supposedly very holy to them (AL-Quds)? Don't religious Muslims disapprove of this, like it's blasphemy or something? Sorry, I forgot, they're too busy issuing fatwas against teddy bears named Mohammed...
11. Dirty Kassams - How Far Away?
ppl ,   Eretz Yisrael   (12.23.07)
MK's are scurrying to build their nuke bunkers as this is being written. And Alfred E. Neuman shakes hands with Abu Kassam winking and uttering: *What ME worry?*
12. Billions of $$$ Spent on Military Industries
One Crazy Lady ,   Israel The Holy Land   (12.23.07)
and nobody can come up with a way to solve the Scud Katyusha Kassam Al Kudz problems that plague Israel. Does anyone here NOT see the irony in this? Just bloody stop spending those billiions of innefectual $$ on the miliitary. Better just give it away to the poor and hungry people who can't afford heating this winter.
13. #6 Exactly right
dj ,   usa   (12.23.07)
And to the countries that would criticize Israel.......ask them if they will accept Qassams fired into their country for each one fired into Israel.
14. When they Target our Beer Factories..We Know it is War!!!
ZALMAN ,   ISRAEL   (12.23.07)
15. An improved Al-Quds rocket still missed.
Steve ,   UK   (12.23.07)
Look for the Jihad label... When you are buying that rocket or bomb... Remember somewhere our group is killing,. our members willing to kill your kids, your dad or mom, We don't win, and we're complaining 'cause 3 of us gave an IDF tip! So always look for the Jihad label, it says we're firing Qassams from the Gaza Strip!
16. #13 That is the Problem, Having to Answer to Other Countries
David P. ,   Santa Cruz, USA   (12.23.07)
Israel is under constant & institutionalized scrutiny from countries who don't care about Israel's right to defend itself, yet the Jewish nation caving to this pressure, always feels the need to explain activities? You think China or Russia or India or Indonesia or Turkey or most other nations explains its actions when their own citizens lives are in jeopardy. Entire African nations hunt down their own minorities to extinction and they are not given a fraction of the criticism or condemnation the world gives to Israel. Perhaps it's a consequence of an open society, America, France, the UK, Germany all suffer from the same nightmare of being ridiculed by they're freedom intoxicated masses who forget that western principals have yet to resonate in vast regions of the world.
17. #12 - We're fighting an idea
Steve ,   UK   (12.23.07)
...the idea they seem to hold that Israel has no right to exist. There's only two ways to fight an idea. Either work to change their minds, (and we both know Hitler will practice ice-skating before that happens), or become such a threat that even though the idea exists, the desire to act on it is taken away. In other words, kick 'em in the nuts and keep kicking till either they stop bombing or start twitching. I do agree with you, take care of the people first, but this was forced on you. It has to be forced off.
