IAF strikes in Gaza; locals flee their homes     Ali Waked
1. The Gazans would be safer to stay in their homes and hail
the IDF as liberators.
Rivkah   (01.01.09)
2. If you keep flattening buildings just like the one in the
picture....and work your way south in the drip drip fashion of war. I think your problems will lesson considerably. Egypt will have to deal with them then. If they want to keep shooting rockets....keep distancing Tel Aviv away from their city by raising it to the ground. From North to South.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.01.09)
3. War crimes
The presence of secondary explosions clearly indicates the presence of munitions and rockets in civilian structures. By storing them there, hamass is guilty of war crimes. Where is the outrage?
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.01.09)
4. gazans fleeing
brave gazans, look at the cowards haniyeh and his soldiers who hide in hospitals and mosques and bunkers leaving you alone. These are dirt and are taking your money. help[ yourselves. Go to the fence and tell israelis wehre hamas weapons and people there. eliminate some of them yourselves. Hamas is causing you pain. End it by doing yourself a big favour. Kill hamas. Give up all wearing civilian clothes.

5. Jewish occupation will be fleeing Palestine soon
pt ,   Dallas   (01.01.09)
6. There will be no incursion. This is just panic
Israelis will not "invading" Gaza. But you can understand the panic. With the wooing of Hamas to defend their honour. But it is all bull. Israelis are not interested in entering Gaza. The end is already in the works.

10. We look forward to see the next elimination of the murderers
og Hamas in Gaza. So many of us, Palestinians, appreciate this activity, despite of what you may think or hear.
Latif ,   Amman, Jordan   (01.01.09)

13. To the Gazan people
On the whole, the Jewish nation are deeply saddened - way beyond what mere words displayed here can convey - as we continue to learn about the carnage and destruction, and immense loss of life and property our defense forces are currently carrying out down there. This we now know, will continue until their is major change in Gazan governance. I know I speak for the vast majority of my fellow Israelis by unequivocally insisting that the fight is not with the civilian population, nor is the operation 'collective punishment'. Actually, as seems to be understood by the world, the war we are dragged into is the only way left, after all diplomatic avenues were exhausted, to put an end to the situation where Israeli civilians are 'sitting ducks in a shooting gallery' for the past 7 years. Hamas and the other terrorist groups running Gaza are destined for extinction very soon. The terrorist have entrenched themselves amongst you, the civilians, maybe even being related or befriended to you. They are located, along with their weaponry, amongst you. Although the Hamas leaders are all in hiding, the fight has been brought - purposely by them - directly to you. The wish we share along with the rest of the world is a speedy end to the current hell you now face, to be replaced by peace, quiet and normal existence. May those of you who have started to understand (as well as those who always have) that the destruction of Israel (put simply) is not an option; take any steps possible that will assist in bringing to an end the murderous rule of the terrorists in Gaza. (Vacated by Israel in recent times with a view of enabling the Gazan people to build and achieve a peaceful home for all. You. Us. Your children. Ours. And theirs.) Shalom.

14. Gaza
I hear that they finally got one of the criminals. They hide while the innocent suffer for Iran's policies. Go for the gusto, Israel. Do it well, but know when to stop. Hamas must be destroyed, refugee camps destroyed, democratic and human decency must be instilled in a new generation corrupted by the beggars from Iran.

15. turkey's erdogan and condemnation of israel
Beyond being hypocritical and unfriendly to it's ally israel, Erdogan's ceasefire proposal is useless. There is also a personal angle involved. He was educated early at a religious school teaching islam, and secondly,his wife is of arabic origin. So he is close to hamas, syria and iran. Admitedly he is modern, almost progressive but he can't shake his jihad roots. This is why the Turkish court is watching him. He yet may be removed from power. Don't be taken in by his proposals which are no good. Israel shold not be nervous about telling him straignt-no deal buddy. Turkey is always reacting hypersensitively -like you insulted us-okay so we insulted you-big bloody deal. He is a modern suit over jihad terror ideology.

18. Any decent person would of left Gaza by now

19. # 5 you mean to say ISRAEL
what do you put in your water pipe when you smoke it ? HAMAS GARBAGE WILL BEG ISRAEL AND THE EGYPTIONS FOR AN ESCAPE ROUTE FROM THE MIGHTY ISRAELI ARMY END. in 72 hours from now
LARRY ,   US   (01.01.09)
20. Hamas and eggs
It's always good to see the IDF unrestrained and cooking up a good omelet. The enemies of israel need to be reminded of this time and time again as their memory is forgetful. Israel's political leadership is weak to not work for the complete elimination of hamas and foolish to let them remain to fight another day. May Hams become a distant memory.

21. to no 12
in order to crash a snake you don't need to use your hands, the heels are enough. In order to crush Hamas we don't want to endanger our precious lives and lives of stupid Gazan arabs. Only Muslim idiots can say that our unwilingless to spill blood is cowardice, we cherish our lives and lives of our soliders, while arabs are ready to feed the war machine with their babies. Their choice, but we also make our choice, in my opinion Gaza should be bombed to kingdom come.

22. To nr 5 - There is no "Palestine" and no "occupation"
And Jews/Israelite/Hebrews have a history of 4000 years in Israel and hundreds of years of sovereignty in Israel, thousands of years ago, sovereignty and independence now, historical, legal and moral rights to the land. That's more ties and connections than most gentiles have to their homelands which draws "legitimacy" only from brute conquest and nothing else. The Arabs have dominated Israel for only 22 years in the 7th. AD, so stop typing your bullshit in here - it makes me sick to see ignorant people.

23. # 13 Beautifully Written,Thank You
Hear hear,this is exactly what I feel but was unable to express as eloquently as yourself.

24. well put #13
Kevin ,   p. elizabeth   (01.01.09)
25. #13 Don't speak for the rest of us!
What a load of blah blah. If you feel so sorry for them, go live with them. They are the ones who voted for Hamas - THEY are the ones who are allowing terrorists to fire rockets from residential and private roof tops - THEY are the ones who jump with joy when an Israeli is killed. You are entitled to your opinions, but don't speak for the rest of us.
Israel   (01.01.09)
26. Where are they fleeing?
They must flee to wherever they want but FAR from Israel to never come back anymore. Send them to wherever they want AND DO NOT ALLOW THEM BACK!!!NEVER MORE! Do a DEFINITIVE JOB!Clean the area and do not let it to be spoiled never again!After cleaned,just a service of maintenance is needed!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (01.01.09)
27. Hamas would bomb every Jewish man, woman and child
We should make no mistake that if God forbid Hamas had the power of the state of Israel, they would bomb and wipe out every Jewish man, woman and child and celebrate on top of us. STOP WEEPING FOR OUR ENEMIES, it is discusting and sickening.
USA   (01.01.09)
28. # 25 Well Put
The gazans have gone too far,they are reaping what they sowed and still have not appeared to learn their lesson,still spewing forth hatred and threats.They are victims of their own sick and twisted hateful primitive backward mentality.Still,sad that it had to come to this but this operation was long overdue.
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.01.09)
29. Gazans, Palestinians or ARABS..who are these people?
These former residents of pre 1947 Israel who squatted in the land prior to the formation of the state in order to get jobs and who later ran behind egyptian lines in anticipation of the genocide of the jews...deserve nothing
