Air Force strikes Rafah targets    Hanan Greenberg and AP
1. "blast could be heard throughout the northern Gaza strip"
That tells me the mosque was used as a store for weapons and explosives, making it a legitimate military target. Well done, IDF.

Please show the world how to deal with these barbarians and give us all hope that the tide can be turned against Islamic radicals.

3. Egypt and Tunnels
Why did Egypt tolerate the tunnels of smuggling the rockets and other arsenal into Gaza?

Keep going, take out every mosque in gaza because hamas is hiding there. They are also hiding in hospitals, schools, united nations places, tunnels, ambulances and tunnels. Gazans, lets get rid of the this mafia that is a criminal against the brave gazan people. We made a mistake voting for this iranian terror group of larijani and ahmadinejad, they lie, cheat, steal, promise us virgins in paradise. Gazans, never mind abbas, lets go the working people of gaza and kill hamas. Go get them everywhere.Allah akbar.

okay, guys, take another look at the laser system and the phalanx gun system for the south to knock down rockets. You need a cheap system to take down rockets and now. Accelerate the process. Hurry up. Until iron dome system, get everyone together and install some systems now to take down rockets.

7. Thank God the gloves are off the IDF
Finally...Israel forces are allowed to fight as the tigers they are. All Palestinians should henceforth think twice before you applaud the blood of Israeli civilians and vote for terrorists to lead you. Not such a cause for celebration when the Israelis hit back...and yet your cowardly warriors continue to fire from schools and civilian areas. Nothing but Islamic cowards who hide behind civilians, even attempting to use children as shields. You Palestinians must rise up against the cowardly terrorists among you...

8. Wonderful News. But Where Did They Put That Dirt ?
300 tunnels means an awful lot of earth moving. Why was nothing noticed? Regardless, I hope they are putting only some of the penetration bombs to good use. They need to save a few for Iran.

9. WOW

11. Hang TOUGH, Israel
Dear Israel, 1. Hang tough, brothers and sisters! The voices of spineless, cowardly liberals throughout the world are yapping loudly against your willingness to defend yourselves. DON'T LISTEN TO THEM! If I could, I would head over there to help you. 2. Since I can't join you, how best can I help you and support the cause? G*d bless you!!

12. Most residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip wish ...
Most residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip wish to emigrate A Palestinian poll released last month showed that most residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip wish to emigrate, compared to 25 percent in the West Bank. According to the poll, 74 percent of Gazans support the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the Strip. The poll showed that 64 percent believe the Western-backed Abbas' term should end now. Only 24 percent believe he has another year. The poll was released by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. Pollsters surveyed 1270 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The margin of error was 3 percentage points. The time has come for these people to stop with politics and terrorism and search for a solution for their families based on well-being and peace. Most of the inhabitans of Gaza hope for this solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjg97

14. COMPLETE THE JOB
The IDF must complete the destruction of the tunnels and not be stopped by a truce. However, the sole objective of Hamas and its associates is to completely destroy Israel. They feel that no "foreigners" are entitled to be on so called holy Muslim land. Therefore not only is a long term sustainable truce necessary, a complete mind shift is needed by extremists in Gaza and, for that matter, the rest of the world to know and understand that Israel is here to stay. Is this an elusive dream or is it possible for the extremists and not so extremists to accept Israel? - the question begs to be asked.

17. #8 dirt in their eyes
Why was nothing noticed? Of course it was noticed . You cannot fail to notice the quantities , storage and movement of weapons as large as that had been fired at Israel. You cannot fail to notice the preparations of tunnels , which were not built for the protection of innocent civilians but for the transport and smuggling of weapons. What is amazing is that the worlds do gooders do not question why no protection was built for the locals ,when such costly preparations for aggressive war were obviously made by Hamas.
