1. "Iron fist"? Where I have heard that before?
Kerwood Derby ,   Frostbite Falls, MN   (12.30.08)
Most recently it was by Bibi in the context of Jews must be removed from their Beit Ha Shalom according to Barak's evil decree and with an "Iron fist." So what is new there? Bibi forcing Jews out their homes. Hamas is doing nothing diffferent either from what it was doing during the "cease fire" period. But the IL gov't is now reacting and so close to elections too. It's as if Barak was planning this several months ago when elections were announced. Another case of the tail waging the dog? Iron fist or not, the only effective way to defend your people is to remove the threat. You can use limited military options to approximate a temporal peace. Or you can use the military option that eliminates the threat and have peace. Or you can enforce the right of return of those who come to kill you back to their homicidal hamite peninsular homeland of their own name. That would be humane so you don't have to kill them and they won't be left in your midst to kill you.

5. hamass won't stop until the last rocket is fired.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.30.08)
NO truce, eliminate the terrorists.
6. ISRAEL IS CHICKEN TO FIGHT
Yehuda ,   Montreal Canada   (12.30.08)
Israel is really afraid of the terrorists and more so of world opinion, here is why. Israel's back bone is the Dollar not their bible. Be it Israel was serious about doing away with terrorism they would of bombed the rally where 50,000 armed Hamas repeatedly brandished rifles calling for the death of Israel and America, they waited 8 years to make a little smoke and kill 200 Hamas terrorists and another 150 terror supporters. How many Israeli lives were ruined in those 8 years? How many terrorists did Israel let out of Jail just to join the war against Israel, in order to be released each terror prisoner had to sign a A4 paper slip promising no to take part in terror again. I ask you fellow readers out of the 1,237 agreements signed between Israel and the Terror governments how many did the terrorists abide by? Not even 1 knowing that Israel took their word that the prisoners won't partake in terror activity against Israel and set them free. Here is more if that is not enough. Knowing that their Arab Knesset members and 1 Arab minister support the terror against Israel those government members are still government members. What about all the Israeli Arabs that dance and hand out candy when ever a terror attack happens against Israel and all those east Jerusalem Arabs that make and support terror against Israel, they are still driving around freely collecting billions in Israeli social welfare payments each month. In short Israel is not serious about her self defense, i say this knowing that the people of Israel sit quiet while their political leaders rip them off and let them die. Be honest and provide facts when you refute me factual claims. Australia open your doors to the Israeli rush of citizens that will soon claim asylum.
7. Forget Waiting for Peace
La'el ,   Chelmsford MA USA   (12.30.08)
Please tell me, is it the desire of the media to listen to the terrorists and sympathize with them? Israel has not over reacted, had that been the case the terrorist attacks on Israel would had have creased some time ago. No, Israel has been listening to voices that tolerate the killing of Jewish children but call it a war crime when Israel fights back. I have no ill-will towards Palestinians, but these pawns of the Arab world did vote for Hamas and need to change their environment or live with the consequences. This Chanukah War will be over shortly and Hamas will be “martyred” in the eyes of the Islamic whackos (dead and gone to rest of us) and the world, led by the media’s so-called “outrage,” will criticize Israel (over and over, again and again) for fighting back; for breathing while next “media outrage” could be conducted on the Fest of Esther when Israel puts Iran's nuclear ambitions to rest - and how will the world react? They will condemn Israel for fighting to survive once again instead of looking at the situation on the ground and end of the pursue of nuclear weapons by the Iranian government. http://lael.newsvine.com/
8. Replace “peace” with a realizable solution
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.08)
Considering the fact that the only possible relations between the Muslims and the non-Muslims are war or a limited ceasefire, it follows that the word “peace” should be deleted from Israel’s lexicon as well as the notion of peace with the Arabs as a viable, political possibility. The maximum that Israel can aim for is a limited ceasefire or an armistice, taking into consideration that the Arab side will violate it at any time, as the Palestinians have been proving on a daily basis since the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. The solution to the Israelo-Arab problem should be find elsewhere as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi7ku
9. Olmert.. soon You will be glad to have a truce.
R Hitchings ,   Methil   (12.30.08)
10. Yehuda, you are a disgrace to our name
Judah(Yehuda) ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (12.30.08)
I left Canada and made aliya. I certainly do not want to live in the diaspora like you. Israel is not chicken. Sure we have had some awful leadership over the last 3 years yet even Olmert and Barak are finally showing some backbone. Soon there will be a ground operation. I know this because yesterday I received a call to be ready to report to my medical reserve unit. Many young Israelis will be caualties while you are living in Montreal freezing your tuchas off.
