If a ground assault is to take place in gaza then israel should prepare for high casualties as well , hamas has always had the ability to surprise just look at their rockets today at first they only reached sderot now they are reaching beer sheva whats next tel aviv? In short what i am sating is that israelis always try to end a conflict after they see their soldiers bleeding, this time we are in for the long haul it seems and not if but when we do have casualties because this uis the reality of war will the israeli government and military fight on or just withdraw? this question must be answered before entering gaza

NO CEASE FIRE !!! Not for 48 hours or 48 minutes, We ar fighting an enemy that we must VANISH, not an enemy we like to live with side by side on a later day (Hamas, nto the palestinian people) therefore there is no logic to a cease fire, it will only give Hamastan time to regroup and cause more death on our side, besides I hope they will not beg us for it either, this time it must be to the finish! A good lesson to the Hizziz and the Irainas if we can get it done right.

Make sure the guns are greased, the tanks are fueled and the bullits dry. This is total war...call up all reserves...mandate immediate civil defence procedures across the country. There is no business as usual ..all segemnts of the country must be mobilised for war. Impose curfue restrictions and all hostile demostrations must be crushed ASAP. Impose a War Measures ACt to enable the government and army to impose mandatory SCHOOL CLOSINGS AND RATIONING OF BASIC SUPPLIES. All electricity to hostile enemies along with water must be shut. If the world cares so much for these Hamas they are invited to bring them to their countries. Stand strong and you will see that you will be victorious and the entire free world will cheer you on. The world loves a winner...a loser.

for those who want the reservers to be called, get yourself ready first, it's not a picnic, take some diapers with you, you might need it when you get lost inside Gaza small streets.

Even Israel doesn't know how many of them are Grad and how many are Shehab? how much is the explosive head 70 kg, or else? it's the intelligence fiasco? so, how long the war is going to last 100 days or 200 days? The intense fighting in 1973, produced a high ratio of psychiatic cases, with figures ranging from 12.3% to 23.1% of all nonfatal casualties. The IDF had to develop doctrine for treating battle stress victims AFTER the war. Many reservists served much longer than three weeks. In 1967, the IDF began demobilizing major units two days after the cessation of hostilities; but in 1973, Israel faced a very different war termination.

You bloody vermin take handouts and pray to allah to kill everybody. Well IDf will go in when they decide in their own way. We know your chinese bunkers with IDF+EDS, shaheeds, antitank missiles and tunnels. We know this. You are inviting us to come in like lebanon and we will decide how to do it if at all. But, we have some surprises, and if we go in, you are going to be surprised big time.

You really should stick to cut and paste.

because just like the Second Lebanon War Israel is the one whinning for the fighting to stop.
