israel must caputre the Hamas leadership dead or alive. Then start then get Galit and total destroy Hamas

Why do you think you were handed your job? What did you think it consisted of?

Mr. Moon !! Go home and take a whole bottle of asprins, and shove it up, your you know what, and all that pain will go away very very sooooon....

for being a puppet of the Islamist-Jihadist world. Where was Ban Ki moon when Islamist-Jihadists were raining rocket bombs on Israel daily for the past 8 years? Where was the UN when Hamastan's own Charter calls for the destruction of Israel? What were all these idiots in the region and the UN thinking? Do they think Israel wants to be destroyed by the wolves? Do they think Israel wants to undergo another Holocaust? Do they think Israel has no right to defend itself against the Sword (Rocket) of Islam? Do they think they can rob Israel of its ancient historic Land of Israel?

Well, while fear and danger may be considered "effects" of bombing, I think the Secretary General was using a euphamism to refer to the death of Palestinian children. As such, the situation you bring up is not comparable.

Condemning Israeli action in this scenario is not tantamount to "hating Israel." Can't a great country make mistakes? Intent to kill, and actual killing are not the same thing...not even in court. Hamas should be punished for this, but not in the way Israel is doing it. This is why it is being called "excessive force."

where were all the protesters and world leader's condemnations when hamas was sending hundreds of rockets into Israel? If the Arab countries are so concerned about their brothers then they should be protesting hamas's actions before Israel desides to retaliate.

Excessive use of force terminology is used against Peaceful Demonstrators. Negotiators should negotiate with Hamas not with Israel to bring down long term border peace.

Today, I can say with all honesty that I am ashamed to be jewish.

In the first place you are not a true Jew. You do not even know the GOD of Israel. To be ashamed of your own country when it is fighting for its existence in the face of Islamist-Jihadism crusade from all corners is treasonous.

to allow you continue your "peaceful existence and protest".

Blaming Israel for taking action against Hamas seems so stupid. The world sees what is happening. Why aren't they condemming Hamas for burying themselves in the cviilian population. Could it be the civilians want them there. Hamas should be forced out of Gaza. They are preventing any peace by their continuous and daily bombing of Israel.

Simple. Get a house in the south and offer accommodation for Mr Ban to leave there to experience first hand what is it like to be bombarded by rockets from Gaza.

And I am ashamed to live with you in the same city. You are either a coward or an idiot.

Pounding a captive population? a practice right out of the history books of world war 2. The population in gaza has been living under either siege and/or occupation for over 50 years, when will it be enough for Israelis? The embargo for the last few years on supplies, travel and good is both without precedent or cause. The population has been relegated to living in a mass concentration camp. History the final arbiter will not absolve you here.

You sit in Jerusalem while your brothers and sisters dodge rockets in S'Derot, your fellow soldiers are on the firing line, and you have the arrogance and gall to be 'ashamed'? Go live with your Jihadist Philistines. You don't deserve to be a Jew!

Ban of the anti Israel UN has a lot of hot air. He says so many empty words nobody hears the sounds.Is the whole world only ISRAEL??? In the congo 400 were slaughtered this week NOT A WORD FROM BAN Bombing daily in Iraq and Pakistan -- where is ban and the UN ?????

The principle of self-defensive pre-emptive strikes are legitimate, as are targeted killings. That applies to heads of states who support terror, as are any and all heads of terror organizations, including religious and/or political leaders. Unfortenately the UN has traditionally been unable to agree on a definition of terrorism, a fact that has hindered efforts to fight the phenomenon on an international level. This new kind of war is explained at : http://xrl.us/bi3q3

So far Israel has had a 90% success rate in their accuracy of targeting HAMAS terrorists. And the women and children killed and hurt were their human shields or family of the terrorists. In either case a perfectly acceptible casualty in war. Futhermore the twisted Terrorist logic follows the same line of thinking that rules the Arab world were women are brutally punished by Arab society for being raped. The Arabs society rapes the woman a second time. Here HAMAS terrorist rain down 7500 rockets on Israel's innocent civilians and cities and then complains when Israel says enough is enough and rises to fight off her attacker. Now is the time for poetic justice where the rape victims kills the rapist and so shall we crush Hamas at Fatah quiety enjoys every minute of revenge by proxy.

This is no WWF wrestling This is WTF, let's finish 'em off

What is excessive force? Hamas fires rockets with the intent to kill. It does not matter what they are made of or whether they are accurate or not. The intent is to kill. If someone tries to stab you with a steak knife instead of a machete you are going to act differently? I certainly hope not.

There is something severely wrong when supposed "world leaders" side with terrorists. It's time, it's time for Israel to Fight, it's time for the Jews and Christians to Fight. We've been sitting back taking it far too long. God tells us in the last days that the lukewarm church he will spew out of his mouth. Stand up people, it's time to stand up for Israel. Forget about Ban Ki-what was his name?????? I forgot.

You don't know what you are talking about. Captive population? Pounding? Where is your outrage on the daily bombardment of Israeli cities and terrorizing 700,000 Israelis with rocket bombs by Islamist-Jihadists the past 8 years? Where is your outrage when Islamist-Jihadists slaughtered 3000Americans and destroyed billions of dollars in assets in one short morning on 9/11? It is time Islamist-Jihadist Apologists like you stop spewing your crap to the world. The fact is Islamist-Jihadists are the scourge to the world. See their daily carnages and atrocities around the world at: www.thereligionofpeace.com

Amen brother. So far I've seen pictures in article after article of a 4 year old Palestinian girl which is very heart breaking, but at the same time how many people KNOW the number of 3 year old American boys and girls SLAUGHTERED during 9/11 never to have children, never to grow old. How many Jews throughout ENTIRE history have been SLAUGHTERED just for being a Jew. I'm OUTRAGED, completely OUTRAGED. Israel needs to tell the UN to KISS their Jewish bums (and then some) Israel is doing the RIGHT thing. Period.
