I see a lot of people freaking out. Did you actually read the resolution? It only requires Israel to leave Gaza AFTER a ceasefire has gone into effect. No such animal exists at this point in time. In fact, Hamas responded to it by continuing to fire. As such, we can stay and fight without violating the resolution. So much vitriol, so little cause.

your good criminal buddies, the Hamas and the Hezbollah, won't listen to you. Why should they listen to a weakling geek from New Zeeland when they can push those innocent women and children in harm's way. I am sure you do comprehend their immorality and murderous acts, but your deep sympathy for the terrorists who commit those acts, does not allow you to say they are utterly wrong.

George W. Bush has shown the world that the USA is all full of piss and wind! Fighting terror but you allow a resolution which is anti-Israel, the only real ally that the USA has and the only country prepared to stand up against Arab sponsored terrorism, to pass in the pro Arab UN Security Council? What crap! They talk about “concern for the loss of life”. Between the US and the holier than thou Brits they have caused the deaths of over 90,000 Iraqi civilians. They have killed people in a war which most of the world agrees is illegal. Neither the USA nor the UK were attacked by Iraq. Iraq under Saddam had not links to Al Qaeda but they continue to pursue a war based on fiction without any regard to the people of Iraq and to occupy a country whose citizens do not want them there at all! Then they have the nerve to criticize and condemn Israel! Some might say "Oh, but they only abstained". Abstention in a vote against Israel is exactly the same as a vote against Israel as there is no way that Israel will ever have any support in that corrupt forum of Arab lackeys and anti-Semites! The USA has sent a very strong message to those countries which are facing a new Stalinist type of Russia: don't count on us! The USA let Russia get away with murder in Georgia and has now proven that its "fight against the terrorism" is pure bullshit! To the Editor: I hope you do not censor me again because I have criticized the USA!

Quote :” Resolution 1860 calls for an immediate end to the fighting between Israel and Hamas.” I think that that is what Israel should do -- end the fighting. After this, WHENEVER Hamas et al fires a rocket or a mortar unto Sderot, other places in Israel -- Israel should IMMEDIATELY complain to the UN about the attack, the same day. The complain should ALSO include that Israel is going to fire the NEXT day a rocket at a house of Hamas member in the Gaza Strip. For EVERY rocket or mortar fired at Israel -- a Hamas house (including the family living there in) will be destroyed. And Hamas is to be blamed for ALL the deaths occurring.

Ayman Taha (Hamas) said today at 12:04 hours :”The organization (i.e. Hamas) was not concerned about the UN Security Council's resolution (1860).” Hamas is not concerned about Resolution 1860 -- so, Israel SHOULD also be not concerned about Resolution 1860. So, Israel should continue hitting Hamas -- they are asking for it.

Until Hamas stops its terror attacks on Isreal there can be and should be no ceasefire, if the mortors and rockets continue Isreal should buy more bulldozers,level Gaza and salt the earth under it.

#65 My Man in Holland Mansingh. I am delighted to at last completely agree with you. You are dead on and are totally in touch with the reality of the situation. Good on you.

I unfortunately, do not believe the USA is in the corner of Israel. At least the politicians. Hillary Clinton will do nothing different. In fact, she will probably hurt much more than help. Israel... don't do anything until Hamas has been held responsible.

Because of Ceasefire Hezbollah won the war.But I don't think so. More dead Palestinians means victory for the Hamas and Hezbollah.Aren't they imbecile?
