zichron   (01.18.08)
israel must lock down and get a truce
5. Hamas works for Iran.
I. Barr ,   Detroit, USA   (01.18.08)
The idea is clear: keep Israel busy in Gaza so that Israel will have no time for Iran. Israel should take 5 mile slice of northern Gaza. It is important to tell Egypt regarding their responsibility of Gaza strip. They were there before and they should control Gaza now. Gaza is not the garbage disposal of Egypt.
6. comrades take arms!

your land is being trampled on and citizens hurt. arm yourselves, count on yourselves
7. Let olmert live there!
stuart ,   ny,ny USA   (01.18.08)
How long would he let the rockets fall! This is nolonger a govt interested in it's own people!
8. Is the IDF too soft on terrorists?
Wallace Edward Brand ,   Alexandria, VA USA   (01.18.08)
130 rockets fired at kindergartens, schools, women and children in Israel and only 25 Arabs (who claim to be Palestinians) killed. The IDF is being too soft on the terrorists.
9. rockets
Ross ,   NY,USA   (01.18.08)
send in the army, impeach olmert
10. continue cut back on electricity and fuel
alan ,   cape good hope   (01.18.08)
why provide electricity or fuel to a people who do nothing to stop rockets being launched from their land against a neighboring state. if they want rockets, cut off the lights they use to make the rockets, cut off the fuel they use to make rockets, cut off the borders they use to bring in the rocket's explosives. The blood is being shed Mr Moon, because their are rocket attacks on civilians in Israel. If Hamas stopped firing rockets tomorrow, there would be far lessblood shed. But Hamas wants to destroy another state. Ergo, there will be more regretable shedding of blood.
11. Olmert's Visit to the South
Mark ,   Kibbutz Elrom   (01.18.08)
I would like to know if Olmert entered and left the area via a tunnel.
12. the army is strong, only the politicians (olmert) are weak!
uli ,   jerusalem   (01.18.08)
13. Blah Blah Blah
freejay ,   Israel   (01.18.08)
Heard it all before.....Blah Blah Blah. The Barak is as incompetent as Olmert! This current government, Barak and Shas included, couldn't care about us Israeli citizens, only about their own careers!
14. Now it's getting serious ...
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.18.08)
The White House has allowed Barak to extend operations from 10 meters into Gaza to 15. As an additional penalty, Gaza will have it's electric power cut by 1 W - as a humanitarian gesture, we will provide two AA batteries to compensate, provided financing is available from the EU. Barak, who inherited the famous binoculars of Amir Peretz, said he means business as he removed the binocular covers. Abbas issued a statement saying this was an escalation, complaining that if Barak could see anything beyond his nose, Palestinians might suffer. Abbas is threatening to resign & retire to his villa in Qatar with all his ill-gotten gains but fears he will not get his cut from new money coming from the EU donors. PM Olmert will not resign & follow Abbas to Qatar because his villa is not ready. Pres. Peres says they can dig up Arafat if Abbas resigns so the peace can go forward. FM Livni could not comment, saying only that Condi Rice did not tell her what to say yet.
15. Chicken pretends to be a hawk ...
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.18.08)
16. Moon needs to understand..
takan ,   elat   (01.18.08)
the difference between killing civilians and aiming at civilians
17. USE HOWITZERS AGAINST THEIR CITIES IN MASSIVE NUMBERS!
nerio ,   boston   (01.18.08)
FORGET ABOUT PIN POINT ATTACKS. THEIR GOVERNEMENT IS ATTACKING ISRAELI CITIES. ISRAEL SHOULD RETALIATE IN KIND. FOR EVERY QASSAM 10 CANNON SHOTS SHOULD BE AIMED AT GAZA CITY!
18. What A Crazy Dialog
emanon ,   USA   (01.18.08)
Hamas: Stop your attacks, open the borders and the rocket attacks will stop. Israel: Stop the rocket attacks and the borders will open and we will stop our reprisals. Trouble is, I don't believe Hamas. They've already demonstrated that will fire rockets regardless of the border status or if reprisals continue or not. That;s because it is not about open border crossings, IT IS ABOUT NO BORDERS AND THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL. That's Hamas' idea of a One State Solution.
