only when there are injuries do these Qassamim count? whatever they cause is damage and cost money. what would the people of california do if the mexicans behaved that way?????????

Let them run for their lives! Why do we have cowards for a p.m. and a "defense" minister? This is a government of cowards and they are a shame on the Jewish peoiple. They should be replaced now. Too bad the sh-ass parasites refuse to leave the coalition of the traitors. They won't leave till they squeeze the last agora from the budget. We,the public refuse to demonstrate and strike till they resign from the knesset and have new elections. Then a new government can bomb gaza non stop till they surrender or run away.

Who the hell are PRC??? It's time we opened a HUGE can of whoopass on these folks! What are we waiting for?? G-d forbid a major strike?? Those folks in Sderot have been living in shelters WAAAYYY too long!!!

problem - we prefer be a sitting ducks under the rockets....

Israel should flee from its own sovreign territory? Groups like Hamas, IJ and the PRC and going to give Israel no choice but to bring war to the Palestinians. The majority of Israeli strikes happen in open areas and in cars with gunmen in them, as far away from the populace as they can be kept. Eventually though, these groups will bring the IDF to the civilians doorstep and it will be the Arabs on the run.

that you won't hear a word coming from human rights groups when kassams land in israel hurting civilians and causing damage. as soon as israel retaliates against kassam cells they jump up and down crying to the UN (united nothing) israel this and israel that, like little kids. im beginning to believe that 2008 will be a pretty hot year, including nuclear war in the whole middle east. that is also what the kabbalah is foreseeing, like it did with everything else that happened in history. the world cannot survive without the jewish people, it's the source of light and energy that keeps everything alive. but, you (the jewish people) also have a mission to do... you need to be "or le goym"! i am evangelic and i'm supporting the jewish people no matter what. regards, bernard

Israel is no longer in charge of it's own destiny and lost its sovereignty!! It has become a pupet of the US, George Bush in in charge and Olmert is going along with it. Israel is restrained in its strikes and retaliations so not to "upset\anger" the Arab\Muslims who are USA"s "partners" in the war on terror. The Israelis are being sacrificed in order to allow the US to continue its war in Iraq!! It is time the the Israeli governemnt say:enough is enough!!! George Bush, you got yourself into to this Iraqi mess, don't sacrifice Israel to bail you out!!!!

Evacuation is what the Arabs want. This is a war of attrition. DO NOT GIVE IN! Do not let Sedrot become the next piece of Terrorstan.

It is a fact that many Jews were idealistic in the past and still are nowadays. But in order to live in Sderot these days, you should not only be an idealist but also have a lot of courage. Qassam rockets are being launched daily on Sderot but they do not abandon their town, they try to go on in a daily routine life. We can only admire these people …and this situation is going on since several years as describe at : http://tinyurl.com/35gxul

The first duty of any government is to defend its citizens. The Olmert government, kept in place by whores who are more interested in their own perks than in the security of people, has totally failed. During World War II, nobody cried for the poor innocent people of Bremen or Hiroshima. A responsible government does what it must to protect its people.

I suggest that the residents of northern Gaza should evacuate soon, as it's only a matter of time before the IDF overruns the area to put a stop to the murderous Palestinian terrorists.

Hamas Parliament should be blown up while in session. Why is the IDF holding back??

Boycott and punish the Palestinians until they finally turn against their government? It took Bush six years to learn that in order to fight, say nothing about win, a war it is necessary to win the hearts and minds of the people who supply fighters to the enemy. This is not likely achieved by targeting food supplies, medical care and supplies, and electricity, the very necessities of life for the street. Withholding the basics of life only increases pain, resentment and anger, reinforces the demonic image of Israel, increases the popularity of those who fight the aggressor. How hard is that? Of course it did take Bush six years to begin to realize this in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the Olmert coalition has only been fighting Hamastan for less than a year. Lets be patient. And expect more and rockets and more distant targets until the Government eventually (hopefully) gets the point.

WITHOUT TO BOMBING THE ENNEMY ! SHAME ON IDF AND GOVT

All of Israel should be evacuated !!! Does ANYONE over there even remember WHY Israel came to be in the first place?

YOU'RE TOO ARROGANT AND VAIN FOR YOUR OWN RESCUE.

FOR A YEAR I HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT THE TACTICS OF PINPOINT STRIKES ARE NOT WORKING AGAINST MEN WHO WANT TO DIE! ISRAEL MUST HIT GAZA CITY AND OTHER COMMUNITIES WITH RANDOM CANNON FIRE IN RETALIATION FOR ANY QASSAM ATTACK. ONLY INTERNAL CITIZENS PRESSURE WILL STOP THE QASSAMS.

Is there some sickness that you suffer that you want to make Israel even smaller? If you dont like living here and spouting you self anti-semitisms then go where ever you want, and see how much you would be welcomed.

In World War II, the allies did not win the "hearts and minds" of the Germans or Japanese, they defeated them. The difference between the USA in Iraq and Israel is that the USA is in a distant war for oil while Israel is in an existential war for survival. There are no Sderots in the USA.

Please Olmert.....please release the hold on the IDF and let them fight these terrorists with all the means they have. Please save the lives of these little chldren. What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for a school in Sderot to be hit by a katyusha or quassam? Will you finally take the chains off the IDF when that happens? Please do it before a catasrophe occurs.

The only way some form of quiet will ever exist in the Middle East is if Israel is given the latitude to totally defeat its declared enemies. Only then will the terrorist attacks on Israel's civilians come to an end. Perpetual negotiations, diplomatic half measures, or land for peace deals will not bring peace to the Middle East. For those who believe this is an irresponsible notion, I use history as my guide.

The continued bombardment of sovereign Israeli territory in pre-1967 Israel is part of the continued Arab strategy to take advantage of the inept and corrupt Kadima adminisitration. Olmert has stated that he has grown weary of victories. Thus, he and his cabal of selfish sycophants have shown that they don't really care about Sderot or realize the significance of allowing the Arabs to slowly destroy an Israeli city. Surely someone has told them that a Palestinian victory would embolden the terrorists to start shelling other Israeli cities as a tactic to destroy Israel. Yet, their responses are timid and meaningless. Israel is in bad shape. Its citizens are numb. They are allowing a corrupt political system destroy the Zionist dream.

BUSH WHO HAS BEEN LEADING THE USA TOWARD UTTER BANKRUPTCY AND DESTRUCTION IS LEADING ISRAEL TOWARD ITS OWN DESTRUCTION!

you'd be out demonstrating in the streets instead of sitting there playing with your mice. And the same over here. If our people gave more than lip service to opposition to Iraq, there would be marchs, demonstrations, news bites, etc. But it's easier to ignore what smart people like Sidney say and just sit there pecking away, isn't it? Clearly the answer is to have the Palestinians evacuate the area near the Gaza border, then let the IDF have at it! But we just run our mice and peck away. Maybe we deserve what we get after all...
