Does this not tell a story? Once again, outside opinions mean more to the powers that be here in Israel than protecting ones own people. Imagine history writing this story years later of Israeli leaders running to see Mubarak who had allowed thousands upon thousands weapons tunnels dug which in the end wrought hell and death upon Israel. All the while Israel keeps their mouths shut about that. All the while a son of Israel, Shalit...rots. ... in the mean time Israel lies as impotent as all the rest. Our self imposed blindness and leftist behaviors are killing us a little at a time. I guarantee there will be no Gaza invasion. Once again the terrorists will win and for that we will remain weaker than ever.

No other country on the planet would refrain from counter attacking if they had the means. You don't have spies or double agents that can plant explosives in their "crude homemade rocket" factories?

Why aren't we laughing? I guess it's a bad joke. The Livni comedy team heads for Egypt to beg permission to defend ourselves. An enemy state now makes our defense decisions. That could only make sense to Israeli politicians. The rest of the comedy team is still here but their act is pretty stale by now. Bozo the Clown Barak, our chubby over-stuffed buffoon of a DM makes do with improvised double-talk while the Kadima Klowns drown us in BS. The IDF has become a prop in a lousy comedy routine. The only ones laughing at this sorry spectacle is Hamas - and why shouldn't they laugh - the jokes on us.

Our citizens have been terrorized with rockets for years by the genocidal Palithugs, and the "government" begs for permission to defend itself?!! What country in the world would tolerate this? Olmert, Barak, Livni - they're all criminally insane. Stop begging already and threatening to take action and then do nothing! We don't need to confer with Mubarak (of all people) or the anti-Israel Rice. The "galut mentality" of this "government" is totally repugnant and immoral. Stop announcing what you plan to do. No one wants to hear about toothless, politically motivated "plans". Israel must regain its full height and go on the offensive - without consultations or prior announcements.

Hamas, they inflict fright at the feet of innocent people and, like rats, they hide, scurry away into little holes. No doubt, courage in its best form!!!! Can human nature get any lower than that? Oh, wait. They're rats. Nope, nothing lower!

Why doesn't Israel start by cutting the power and fuel to Gaza? Give Hamas an ultimatum that if the rockets don't cease in 24 hours, Gaza will be without electricity and fuel. Englard would have done the same to German in WW2 if it had the opportunity to do so.

No foreign country or false religion like the Islam will EVER win the war against Israel. Because God has promised that in is Holy Word. That doesn't mean that the devil is not trying to use all his means to eliminate and undo God's promise but it is sure that he shall fail and God's people will prevail by the power of God Almighty. Heavenly father bless Thy people for Thy names sake AMEN.

In my mind they are your enemies (Arabs & Pallestines)This Land belonges to YOU.This is your homeland FOREVER says the word of Adonai(B'resheet) Israel is yours . Peroid the end

It gives me shivers of disgust watching the picture of livni, bended over to get closer to Mobarak with his fake smile... How much longer will the Israeli people tolerate this act of betrayal year after year by their own government, before they unite in a revolt...Enough is enough...The IDF is ready to defend and to win this war of terror against Israel by all arab terrorist groups. It is the criminal government, who is more defensive of the palis interest, then of Israeli people....Enough with tolerance and cheap talk....Time is running out....

From what I read in your news papers you all seem like you could be carried off like that Salot kid, because you are not exactly walking with this God of promise as he has directed. So...There is also the faint chance it is His hand who is trying to bring you back to place of Him being your leader, because I sure don't see many of you sounding like you even care about Him let alone really believe in Him, none the less following Him or keeping his commands. At this point I say use your air force and seek Him like never before, all of you.
