1. Inaccurate weapons? What a joke.
Cynic ,   USA   (03.03.08)
Try Qassam and Katysha rockets which have no guidance system and are intended only to kill civilians

Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.03.08)
6. Shotting rockets and missiles at Israelis is okay?
elianna ,   Israel   (03.03.08)
It only shows where his loyalties are. Why don't you tell the Hamas that According to the law, offensives must not be directed at civilians or civil targets.
7. Arab Minority Rights - Correct - minority
Talula ,   Israel   (03.03.08)
How DARE these Moronic groups open their caustic mouths and spew out such crap. And WHY do they not see that continual firing into Israel is also against international law. These people should be totally ignored until they present a picture of the situation in its entirety - one sided garbage isn't going to melt any hearts around here – and it definitely won’t get them notoriety. So the wannabe saviors of the Palestinians should either open their eyes and see the full picture, or pack up and piss off home.
8. Arabs inventing international laws
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (03.03.08)
First off, there is no such international law. The Arabs have again invented another 'international law' for propaganda purposes. Second we are allowed to use our armed forces to stop attacks on our people that is in the UN Charter.
9. Thank you New Israel Fund for supporting Adalah !!
Yisrael ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.03.08)
Get yer program ! Get yer program ! Can't tell yer friends from yer enemies without yer program ! Get yer program ! Program, mister ??
10. Stop Terrorstinian Rocket Fire
emanon ,   USA   (03.03.08)
That plus using human shields and brainwashing people to blow themselves up are the only war crimes I see.
11. Blame Israel - it's the popular choice
eh-oop ,   UK   (03.03.08)
Fatma Alajou selectively omits to mention the Hamas strategies which set out to frustrate the principles of international law she'd have us believe she holds dear. Human shield strategies frustrate both the ability to distinguish between fighters and civilians and that of intentionally causing harm to civilians. Away from their parades, Hamas fighters' civilian clothes also help them blend in with the civilian population, again frustrating at least the first of these principles. Facts can be a problem, can't they dear?
12. Arab propaganda
M ,   Toronto   (03.03.08)
What is the meaning of this stupid article? It doesn't make any sense, it's moronic.
13. War Crimes
John ,   USA   (03.03.08)
If that is the way that artillery shells are classified, may I ask how the Arab's would classify missiles fired at the Negev?
14. Why Is This Not Treason?
MK ,   Philadelphia USA   (03.03.08)
It certainly sounds like it, to me.
15. International but no Arabs concerned..
Franklin ,   Paris   (03.03.08)
Arab and Muslims do'nt apply to themselves the principles of International law.... Babies fighters in their deadly mascarade...Terrorists hidding in Mosques,Ambulance and Bedrooms. What sense to give to the Human Rights and International laws in some Arabs and Islamics heads...
16. To Miss F Alajou. Terror Emanating From Gaza Strip.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (03.03.08)
You write :".. (Israel should) have pity on (Gaza Arab) civilians, ..". Gaza Strip became Jew-free in August 2005 -- since that time till January 2008 more then 3900 Kassam rockets has been fired from Gaza Strip on Sderot, other places in Israel ; that is an average of 30 Kassam rockets a week ; that is an average of 4 Kassam rockets a day. Miss Alajou, what is the need to fire Kassam rockets from Gaza Strip into Israel ? NO need AT ALL. THIS firing of Kassam rockets on Sderot, other places in Israel -- this is plain terror upon INNOCENT civilians of Sderot, other places in Israel. CONCLUSION : This terror emanating from Gaza Strip MUST be stopped -- it should NOT continue unhindered, unpunished.
17. Radical Islam and its supporters are a crime
USA   (03.03.08)
But you will win, Islam. It's obvious. Our leaders care more about you than they do their own. Bush should have kept his mouth shut yesterday. I don't know if Israel did anything in reaction to it or not, but he should kept his mouth shut -- the same way he shut out the world when he was attacking Iraq and Afghanistian. They're going to go in by foot now. Just like Fallujah. Watch the death count on the Israeli side rise.
18. name an accurate weapon
zionist forever   (03.03.08)
There is no such thing as an accurate weapon in urban warfare. You can fire a guided missle at a terrorist sitting in his car but you cant control the blast when the thing explodes and if your in the wrong place at the wrong time then your going to be affected. A soilder can have his rifle and bullets can go astray and hit civilians by accident. The terrorist groups wouldnt even exist if they didnt get support from ordinary people so if they stopped giving support to the terrorist groups then there would be no attacks against Israel and then Israel wouldnt have to use any kind of weapons.
19. IL must use a weapon that inducesHeart Attacks only inTerros
Alan ,   SA   (03.03.08)
20. Suicide bombings dont count aslongas they divinelyordained
Alan ,   SA   (03.03.08)
21. ADALAH is 'insane war criminal' spelt differently.
