At least five Hamas terrorists were killed, and several were wounded… The dead and wounded terrorists were reported to be member of… In another incident two Fatah terrorists were shot and killed…. And so on… It is time to understand that a “Palestinian state” is not the solution. The Arabs should think about emigrating, discretely, to other Arab countries, (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). That is the real solution as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-paradigm-for-israeli-palestinian_19.html

the Palestinian militants opted to fight in open field without basic fortification; they could have positioned themselves in the populated area where there are some sort of fortification. The IDF is attacking disproportionately with tanks, artillery and air-born fire, "near" populated area. But, how near? the facts speak for: six-month old is Mohammed Bourai was killed. One citizen has his house in eastern Jabalia besieged, inside the house four wounded kids and dead body of militant who bled to death because ambulance was prevented from reaching him. The IDF soldiers are continually requesting the house door be opened, but why should he open the door?! Does Israel has all the right to dismiss the international law under the pretense of self-defense? even if the whole Israeli nation justifies murdering civilians, isn't that illegal?

one after the other!

Please observe that the answer is in your question..... "......without basic fortification; they could have positioned themselves in the populated area where there are some sort of fortification..." Hamas is a bloody Gang . OK??

"the Palestinian [terrorists] opted to fight in open field without basic fortification; they could have positioned themselves in the populated area where there are some sort of fortification." Which would have been completely illegal and shows for all there talk about easily defeating IDF troopers with fireballs from butts is but a crock and that the only way for terrorists like hamas is to use a civilian population for protection and to cause hesitation of IDF soldiers.. I really must ask did you even take a moment to think about what you wrote there? That it's ok for Hamas to operate in civilian areas? "The IDF is attacking disproportionately with tanks, artillery and air-born fire," You're kidding right? What army in the history of warfare has ever tried to fight without an advantage? What is 'proportionality'? If this is the case Israel should launch an equal amount of missiles at random directly into Gaza city for each missile that hits Sderot and all other parts of Israel? And what about Hamas hiding in civilian areas? This is proportional? They aren't marching around in broad daylight making themselves big and easy targets. | "near" populated area. But, how near? the facts speak for: six-month old is Mohammed Bourai was killed." I thought the article said he was 1 years old? Will be 2 years next week? Or 3 months old in the next minutes? And what about the statement in the article that he had been hit by a stray rocket from HAMAS (or whatever other terror group launched it). But amazingly all civilian deaths are automatically Israels fault, because.... you got nothing else! "One citizen has his house in eastern Jabalia besieged, inside the house four wounded kids " I thought they were originally reported teenagers? Amazing you could give the name of the baby but not these kids? Are they all named Mohammed, Muhammed, Mouhamed, and Muhemmed? Or is it just one person where they gave multiple spellings to increase the number of casualties to be reported? "and dead body of militant who bled to death because ambulance was prevented from reaching him." Let me get this straight... A terrorists was shooting from a house with 4 kids in it? The 'supposed children' were injured and ONLY the terrorists was killed due by the IDF.... I'm impressed that the IDF went to such lengths just to target the sack of crap and putting soldiers in such harms way. And the terrorists bleeding out well... guess what? This is warfare, if there is heavy fire than he has to accept the consequences that a medic won't reach him. "The IDF soldiers are continually requesting the house door be opened, but why should he open the door?!" So basically instead of just blowing the house apart which could have easily been booby-trapped the IDF sent soldiers to encircle it? While the terrorists was inside hiding with kids? This is one of the best examples of the difference between Israel and the terrorists mini-state of gaza. "Does Israel has all the right to dismiss the international law under the pretense of self-defense? even if the whole Israeli nation justifies murdering civilians, isn't that illegal?"

Actually from you're example Israel acted in complete accordance with international law. And the fact is that the terrorists who bled out is now responsible for 4 kids situation, not Israel. As shown in these articles of the 4th geneva convention. http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm Article 28 The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations. Article 29 The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred. So the fact is that by hiding between civilians it is HAMAS who bears responsibility not Israel and the fact that Israel is putting it's soldiers beyond any normal level of danger in that and other situations is completely unacceptable. But I guess you just justify everything by saying it's Israels fault.

l never saw you posting when jews were murdered by either bombs or Hamas missiles you are a hater and a hypocrit

Are you a Hamas or Islamic Jihad sympathiser?

Israel has every right to defend herself. Be a good little observer and pay closer attention to the kassam attacks against Israel. Then ask yourself why the Palestinians launch these attacks to provoke Israel, knowing the eventual response will place their civilians in harms way. Go observe how irresponsible the Palestinians are and if you have a better idea regarding how to stop terror attacks against Israel, by all means share your insight.

What are we supposed to do, sit on our asses and applaud as more and more rockets are being fired into Israel? Go after Hamas now.

i hope one day, ur thirst to blood will come to an end.

in order to get better info on the enemy situation am yisroel chai kol hakavod le tsahal w le magav

I didn´t see you post when jews were murdered by your "shahedeen" bretheren, or by Hamas missiles so, you too, are a hater and a hypocrit

With you in the middle of it a) Maybe you will observe the truth and tell the truth . . . for once b) Maybe you can become a casualty for the cause you love so much and we can stop wasting space on your empty words

Only pictures of babies and kids .No pictures of Israelis . No pictures of Rocket launching against Jews .It has been showing more babies on the BBC News than the Annual London Baby Show. Also news on Radio- Israel "SAYS "that rockets are being launched against Ashkelon and Sderot. Also the BBC L-O-V-E-S the Holocaust Comparison

Just a reminder that from DAY ONE of Israel's pullout from Gaza, the rockets came over. Finally, if belatedly, Israel is striking back. Like in any war, civilians will sadly die.

I stopped watching the BBC some time ago. It is injurious to ones health. At least I don't pay for it as the British public do.

we must not be so harsh on the BBC, they have to obey their arab paymasters

Gaza is lacking any independent sovereignty and the use of military force is, in that case permissible. Israel imposition of economic sanctions on the Gaza Strip is a perfectly legal means of responding to terrorist attacks as Israel has no legal obligation to engage in trade with Gaza as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/international-law-and-gaza-assault-on_31.html

The international law, as you put it, totally disregards Israel's right to exist, let alone Israel's right to defend their citizens targeted by Hamas and other brutal terrorists ONLY FOR THE SOLE PURPOSE TO KILL AND DESTROY THEM. What is that if it's not brutal criminal and murderous activity ? In such a situation your disrespectful and biased "observer" activity is nothing but encouragement for Hamas. Try something else and somewhere else !

I have never seen a Syrian post on Ynet except when the corrupt Baath party delegates some low-life to spew garbage and ire. But you're right now that you mention it - Syria's thirst of blood has been thoroughly proven for so many years by harbouring Hamas and so many other terrorist organizations opposed to the very existence of the Jewish people in their rightful Jewish land called ISRAEL.

victims on both side of the border to boost their list. Sick as it is, I dont think that is what your religion is about. If Islam is based on the right to tell lies and kill. Then I am so glad that I was born and embrase Judaism, which fundamentally is one of Peace. We have never started any of the wars, but we have finnished them and will continue to do so.

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas told the AFP news agency on Saturday that the IDF's operation in the Gaza Strip was "worse than the Holocaust."

Maybe because they broadcast that half of the people the glorious IDF killed were civilians, among them four children? Because they show that the great IDF is not any more accurate than the Hamas terrorists with their self-made rockets? Because they broadcast that your glorious army is not capable of preventing Hamas from firing rockets on Israel? Truth hurts.

I could never understand what a "proportionate" response is??? The Palestinians believe(in their twisted mind) that they are the ones to dictate how Israel should response...One missile or one thousand missiles into a city clearly attempting to kill as many civilians as possible requires a strong response!!! If you rob a bank, wether you stole a Million dollars or got away with only one dollar you go to jail

and, Johannes, why are you so gleeful when Hamas shoots missiles at Israel. Because hate against Israel is you agenda.
