31. Gaza Tunnels
misaac ,   Reston, US   (01.07.09)
Is it possible to flood the Rafah tunnels with sea-water? Hook up a large pump and see where the water and terrorists come out.
32. IDF need to study how Semper Fis flushed out Saipan,Gdcnl
Alan ,   SA   (01.07.09)
33. #28
David ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.08.09)
To protect itself from the Soviet Union, Finland allied itself with Nazi Germany in WW2. Clearly sometimes countries have to make tough moral decisions when faced with the need to protect their own citizens. Israel was faced with hundreds of missiles from Gaza, and it too is making a tough choice. #28 shouldn't be so self-righteous.
34. Funny no hamas stop killing civilians

35. Sammy, #12. as one who loves the Mediterranean
(01.08.09)
I take the greatest possible exception to your proposal. Hamastan has no business being in that beautiful sea. Let those bulldozers instead dig a massive hole in the Rub al-Khali (the Empty Quarter) of the Arabian desert, and fill it with Hamas.
36. #28
Knightarm ,   new york city, USA   (01.08.09)
You may be right, but if Israel does carpet bombing I only hope that they bomb the carpets (stinking oriental rugs) that are inside the homes of Hamas "winners" , who probably have very little time left before they meet their destined virgins. And by-the-way, tell all your friends and the rest of the world that thinks like you: NEVER AGAIN!!! Repeat it often: NEVER AGAIN!!!
37. Gaza
Bill ,   Richmond, Virginia,   (01.08.09)
I believe the IDF has studied how the Semper Fi's flushed Al Qaeda out of Fallujah.
38. You are right, #28, Hamas are the brave ones
Jake   (01.08.09)
So brave that they only dare to train their rockets on the civilian communities of southern Israel? So brave that they launch mortar fire and rockets from civilian areas and schools and use ambulances to transport ordnance. So brave that their idea of a 'military operation' is to launch suicide bombings in buses, restaurants, and civilian public places. So brave that they rely on dupes and useful idiots, like you, to carry on their propaganda war for them while they continue to shell Israeli civilians and hide in tunnels and civilian quarters.
39. Rheino: Hamas pass out candy, dance from their rooftops,
Jae ,   Lynn US   (01.08.09)
and have their women (all 5 wives) oogle as best they can when one of their 11,000 missiles rips a limb off Jewish child on a playground. That is sick, no? Hamas can stop this warfare now by never shooting a rocket again. But as they say, it is either their way or death. welcome to islamic fundamentalism. Im surprised being in northern europe you havent had more news exposure to this philosophy. It is twisted moral relativism to think that that terrorism is the same as defending your own citizens. Rheino you should study the Israeli perpestcive, as you seem to know the Hamas propaganda very very well. Im impressed. But Id be more impressed if you had a complete knowledge, rather than half knowledge.
40. #24, 25, 27, 28 - Running out of negative things to say?
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.08.09)
I remember how just a few days ago, people like you kept saying how "Gaza would become the IDF's graveyard", "the IDF is too chicken to face Hamas face-to-face on the ground", and so forth. As the days pass and it becomes apparent that the IDF pulverizes and completely embarasses Hamas, the more desperate you guys are, to find ANYTHING negative you could say about the IDF and Israel. So you start spinning the facts. When the IDF conquers a strategic post and Hamas terrorist flee away like flies, you complain - why are not going after them? When the IDF prepares well for the war and uses its technical advantages to the maximum, you complain that this is not a fair fight, that we have Merkava Tanks and Apaches (first-grade demagoguery, btw). When Muslim Hooligans in Turkey riot, behave barabarically and mix politics with sports, you spin it as "you couldn't even start a sport game", as if these were ISREALI hooligans in the crowd?.... And by the way, Wolf Blitzer and Larry King are intelligent, well-informed Jews who could offer some criticism, but would never attack Israel. The IDF's decisive victory in Gaza makes you Muslims and other Jew-haters quite desparate to spin anything you can find against Israel. Poor souls, it must be quite frustrating for you nowadays.
41. not cowards
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.08.09)
#28 is wrong, but so are those who mock Hamas. War is not a football match or a game to prove who is a bigger man. War is a nasty business where you kill the enemy and try not to be killed. Israel is winning because in every engagement it outnumbers the Hamas twenty to one: If Hamas tried to rally some troops together, they would be wiped out by tanks or airplanes. Israeli soldiers are not cowards, but are doing their job with the weapons they have. Hamas fighters are not cowards but smart for trying not to get killed. All the war shows is how anti-peace the self-styled "peace camp" is. Instead of Arabs and Jews working together in the beautiful greenhouses of Gush Katif, the "peace camp" ethnically cleansed Gaza of Jews, bringing this war. Now there will be thousands of people who lost a loved one. They will not want peace, but revenge.
42. The problem is in taking the Palestinain Land
James ,   Chicago, US   (01.08.09)
Lets not forget that Israel used terrorism before they occupied Palestine in 1948 and killed civilians as well as British soliders. Read history to find out most of the tactics used by terrorists now a days were invented by the Israeli gangs prior to 1948. I do not think Israel will ever be a safe a place to live a normal life.
43. The problem is taking our native lands and lakes
Brave Horse ,   Indian,Chicago Tribe   (01.08.09)
and having the gal of preaching to others, 8000 miles away Hypocrites
