here we go again talking about diplomatics efforts to end the war, and again we giving in to the goim, even going further trusting the egyptians and jordaniens to defend us, i think it's an insult to our heros soldiers that died defending israel to have sold out politicians giving it all back to the arabs , israeli gov is completly out of line and need to be inpeach before they sign any ceasefire.

7. Tunnel Rats Did the Job
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (01.07.09)
During the Vietnam War, groups of Americans aided the koreans in being "tunnel rats". Often times they went into these tunnels, dressed to avoid scorpians, etc., and did not meet up with any VC. In the Warsaw Ghetto, the few brave fighters also had tunnels and bunkers..but the Krauts used flame throwers, heated oil, etc., to smoke them out, or simply kill them. B-52 raids over Vietnam resulted in breaking the ear drums of those in tunnels. Israel has a lot of weapons at it's disposal. But times it does actually help those caught and in fact rescues them. So it's a mixed bag. Israel must not back down until victory..or it will simply have to repeat this entire operation in the future..at much greater cost and risk. After all, Iran is 1 year from the bomb..and Hez is waiting for the opportune time to strike (again).
8. Fill the tunnels with carbon dioxide.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.07.09)
They'll either come out or get very damn sick, or dead.
9. Chlorine gas might be available also.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.07.09)
Pool supply stores might have a good idea how to get large quantities as well as water treatment plants. Of couse you could flood them with ocean water.
10. deja vu???
Greg ,   brooklyn,ny,usa   (01.07.09)
This is the same thing the communists in Vietnam did to the Americans. Tough war.
11. Looks like the real fihgt still ahead ?
George ,   Canada   (01.07.09)
So far the territory being seized by IDF are open fields with spreaded few obstacles .If this is the situation as described above, underground city with endless tunnels and exits, what is the hell you are so confident about the outcome of the fight. looks like the real show still ahead. As last days fight has showed more the IDF approach Gaza city, its casualty has risen up, Friendly fire? Doubtable. Hope the wisdom overcome .
12. Flood the tunnels with gas and lite 'em up.
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.07.09)
If a thousand houses blow up, so be it. The rats can only be killed if they have no place to hide. No cease-fire without Hamas's surrender. Making a deal with psychopaths is making a deal with the devil. Hamas must be eradicated. G-d Bless the IDF!
13. ... but Hamas what?
leo ,   USA   (01.07.09)
14. Tear down every thing since you know their secrets,
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (01.07.09)
15. ISRAEL - PLEASE PLEASE EXPOSE THIS WITH PROOF!!
David ,   London,England   (01.07.09)
ACCORDING TO THE TORAH NO-ONE IS ALLOWED TO BESMIRCH YOUR NAME. BY NOT SHOWING EVIDENCE YOU ARE BY DEFAULT ALLOWING AMALEK TO WEAKEN US GREATLY IN TERMS OF REPUTATION. THIS REPUTATION OF FAIRNESS (EVEN IN WAR) HAS BEEN BUILT UP OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS AND YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO LET HATEMONGERS PUT BLOOD ON OUR COLLECTIVE. PLEASE PLEASE USE ALL THE DRONE/SURVELLANCE EVIDENCE TO TURN THIS ASPECT OF THE WAR ON THEIR FACES!!!
16. YEAH NO.2 - ESPECIALLY THE UNWRA BUILDING THAT KILLED 30,
Malek ,   Beirut,Lebanon   (01.07.09)
AN OLD SHIA TRICK!!
17. It's almost funny
Jonathan ,   NY NY   (01.07.09)
how Hamas calls the Israelis "rats" and Hamas themselves are the ones living and burrowing underground!
18. The truth about Hamas
sam   (01.07.09)
Maybe all the Palestinians here will be surprised to find, but Israel wants peace and wants to live with you neighbors, the problem is that the Palestinians give hideaway for Hamas, firing missiles southern Israel with the goal of each one is clear: to kill a few more civilians, so innocent civilians, women and children. So all surprised by Hamas that Israel fought? Hamas takes advantage of the Palestinians, they are afraid of him, so he shoots out of their homes, schools, mosques. Which another country in the world continues to be silent for 8 years? Which country in the world delivers more humanitarian equipment, food & Medications attack Palestinians after the Hamas members? The problem is Hamas stealing them all the equipment and then sell them back... poor people there, but they chose Hamas. Which country in the world will put in time of war, children affected by it for medical treatment? Value of life for Jews is a top value, Hamas is sending children and women with explosives belts, then suddenly everyone surprised those innocent women and children? Eight years of Israeli women and children innocent casualties. Hamas kills with his own hands to the innocent women and children, Hamas destroys the image of the Palestinians and their chance to live in peace in the country of their own, stealing from them, threatening them, it's time that the Palestinians will realize- Hamas just kill them with his own hands. Without Hamas, peace was already a long time ago and all the Palestinians would continued to come and work in Israel and make a living with dignity, they are their own and their families. Israel is not fighting Palestinian, Israel is fighting Hamas, Israel fighting terrorism, the killing of civilians 8 consecutive years. I wonder if any one of you could live 8 consecutive years, he knows he has 15 seconds to escape the missile is about to fall on him, 15 seconds, 8 years, 8 years Yes! Israel is not killing innocent people - Hamas does it himself day after day. So after all that the Palestinians Dig tunnels Gaza to smuggle weapons, missiles, sending terrorists, women and children with explosive belts in order to commit suicide, then come to Israel claims the killing of innocent people? Who gives refuge for Hamas he cooperates ,from there homes Throwing missiles this a good enough reason. The goal is clear: the Hamas wants the Palestinians remain poor that he could continue and play a terrorist, stealing them money, food medicine, every time Israel opened crossings, Hamas gunrunner to attack it. It is time the Palestinian people to understand they will never live normal and peaceful If Hamas will remain in their environment.
19. Answer to tunnels
Levi ,   Karmiel   (01.07.09)
Either flood them or gas them. They will run out like the rats they are.
20. Living in Tunnels?
Tzipora   (01.07.09)
No where is Israel's mission EVER to kidnap Hamas or Gazans. This stated goal of kidnapping soldiers is clearly in violation of international law.OOPS, forgot they don't follow international law.... Living underground for a while was Hamas leaders' way of getting their terrorists ready for burial......Amazing that the people of Gaza ELECTED them. Maybe they were all promised basements!
21. Tunnels
Orwell ,   Farmville   (01.07.09)
In america moles dig the tunnels then the rats move in. In Isreal rats must have to dig their own tunnels. It must be cold and damp in their holes why dont you heat them up.
22. WHO SUPPLIED ISRAELI UNIFORMS ?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.07.09)
23. IDF - IAF - חיל הים
Talula ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
You bring tears to my eyes, and you make my lips quiver with immense pride. For ones so young, you are a formidable force and the way you conduct yourselves shows strength and composure. I simply have no words of praise that are good enough for you. You are all heroes......and you really are the sons of God.

Moshe ,   Israel   (01.07.09)
Sorry to say this but Gilad Shalit is dead. Apparantly he was killed in one of the airstrikes on the very first day of the war. This was on Al Jazeera and Al manar.
