Kol Hakavod to the IDF. They are doing the entire world a favor, we support them one hundred percent. Flush out the Hamas cowards who hide behind civilians and go from strength to strength.

We support ISRAEL 100% . IDF must finish the job. Do it right! Clobber them and send them to the caves. They are hiding in tunnels fior sure. Search and destroy. Ein efes! UN is a joke. Do it now, do it right!

Run away! run away! (New Hamas "resistence" battle cry)

Not terribly wise; the IDF and Am Yisrael will prevail. We were not given a choice in this and we know what we do is just. The Arab states in the Gulf will be thrilled at any damage done to Hamas and Iran will get a bloody nose.

IDF - do not stop till the thugs of Hamas and Jihad are wiped out.

This figure does not include the many other hundreds who are injured and incapable of fighting, or many others who simply deserted the Hamas military. Furthermore, for all those mocking this number - the only reason why it's "only" 300 is because Hamas entrenches itself among civilian population and the IDF does whatever it takes to minimize hitting them. We can easily take them all out, but the world media would be up in arms... So actually, Ali, you should be thankful we are humane enough to spare your life.

If hamas is as weak as the IDF claims, then the IDF should have no reason not to go inside the cities, unless they are lieing? And if the IDF losses less troops than hamas claims, remove the media blackout, so then you can support your claims and discredit theirs. Its amazing how much trust ppl have in the media.

Can vary from 300 to 1,000 troops.

Terrorists are dropping dead like flies and Olmert & Livni are interested in an Egyptian ceasefire which garuntees Israel nothing. As usual when Israel is on top and in a position to dictate terms at lets the enemy decide what the rules of the game should be. If Israeli politicians were a little more assertive and played politics even a fraction as good as the arabs do we would be ruling this region and would have solved our problems and done it our way. An arab baby is better at political negotiating than the oldest and most experienced israeli one and to survive in the region its more than tanks & planes we need its good negotiators and we can't buy those from weapons developers. Time to wipe out Hamas as a military forces then impose a political solution onto them. For once lets go on the political offensive as well as the military then and only then will the Hamas threat be dealt with, anything else is window dressing designd to cover over the currunt round of problems but doesn't stop future ones.

Peace and quiet is its enemy not only because of its ideology—the deity commands it to destroy Israel—or its self-image—as heroic martyrs—but also because battle is needed to recruit the masses for permanent war and unite the population around it. Hamas has no program of improving the well-being of the people or educating children to be doctors, teachers, and engineers. Its platform has but one plank: war, war, endless war, sacrifice, heroism, and martyrdom until total victory is achieved. Consult : http://xrl.us/bea6kx

IDF please finish this bitter job of HAMAS disempowerment and destraction. Good luck.

These are the 3 amigos of terror-larijani-the erdogan of terror, mottaki-the blowtorch shiite scumbag, and ahmadinejad-the inciter and killer of americans., All 3 of you are marked for death-in particular larijani, who is the worst of the lost. We know where you are and you will be going to allah soon. Baluchis are working for us as they despise you shiite infidels. Gazans, rise up and get rid of the hamas infidels. Any gazans passing out sweets on the streets in celibration of israeli deaths will be bombed in the mosques, markets, schools or other places. tell us where the tunnels are, otherwise some of you will die as israeli soldiers come to your house while you are sleeping. Once Olmert is gone, Israel will be 5times as strong as today.

Foot soldiers on blog sites don't set military policy for the real world. 300 dead Hamas big wigs is an excellent start. I am hoping to see big improvements as the escalation continues. Tough luck for the losers, though.

Gained zip from Lebannon--Hizbollah is awfully quiet during this conflict-a conflict that is annihilating their brethren terrorists.

I really had my doubts. But I guess there is still a will to survive left.

When the US administration started fighting terrorists in Iraq with one hand, they supported terrorists in Gaza and Israel, appeased the terrorists in Syria and Iran, to name only a few. The Europeans support the terrorists in the Middle East as well. And not to forget the UN which has there only a destabilizing influence and fights against the interests of Israel - as one can see with Hizbollah in Lebanon and Hamas in Gaza. Those will not stand by the side of the people of Israel. So what remains is to help yourselves with the help of the Almighty. And G_d bless and protect the IDF and all Israel.

Let the BBC and CNN? CNN and C4 ran a fake movie of a fake casualty that a little child could have spotted. In the Lebanon war, Reuters ran fake photos. AP runs fake photos of Iranian missile launches. You honestly believe these people have the tiniest bit of integrity?

in the West Bank. If it takes a year then it takes a year as long the job gets done.

With no legs, no arms, no eyes, brain injured they won't be very much good at terror making or for that matter staying away from all the Fatah who will now finish them off. Face it, all you Hamas defenders, you're boys had their asses kicked and most will be dead in the weeks to come anyway. Hope you enjoyed the complete chaos and misery they caused for your heroes the Palestinians. The propaganda that you succeed in feeding the UN to report to the world won't help you, and the organized demonstrations that your Muslim Brotherhood stage won't help you. Most in the world are already on to your tactics - you've taught them well from the cartoons to Mumbai. We're all really tired of your inability or unwillingness to integrate in the modern world, You may have fooled the young college students for now, but no one listens to them anyway. We were all young once and remember how naive one can be. Face facts Islamists, your dreams of destroying Israel and convincing people Israel is NOT a front on the war against barbaric terrorists like your friends Hamas here, are over. The tactic of controlling the press is over. The tactic of holding an entire population hostage like the Gazans is over ... and this is the beginning of that.

I completely agree with you. Kol hakavod leTsahal !

The idea is to make Hamas realize that if they continue to violate international law and target civilians, they will have to own up to exposing themselves and the civilians they swore to protect to a force 100 times their strength. And its also funny how all these hamas fighters are so eager to fight israel, and when the time comes they run like the scared dogs they are.

Strangely, although Hamas has been "wiped out" and is "in distress" (this must be the 10th time this is announced since the beginning of the fighting), rockets keep falling. Even though Hamas has been "wiped out", IDF soldiers are unable for unknown reasons to enter most build-up areas. Thousands of strange creatures - not Hamas, I assume - are still shooting at them. Also, it is at least the 3rd time in a week that the Gaza City rocket chief is killed. Come on, even if the IDF killed 300 - which is probably not even true - this means that there are 19000 left. Even if they lay down their weapons - which will not happen - this just means that they will resurface once the IDF has left.

The one who asked: this is preparing the public for the end? Yes Absolutely ... Great propaganda about Palestinian being chicken..What a pathetic way to convince the Israeli public that the great army of Israel is tough...We all know that those Palestinian are anything but cowards.. I don't think any sane person would believe those people, who believe in strong case, fear death..They ask for death..Don't you always say..."suiciders" So? But one small child Palestinians rockets send 20 Israeli to the hospitals..not because they were hit, but because of panic attack..fear paralyze them..even child plays scare them..we all know who are the cowards chickens.. viva Palestine..We Canadian are all with the people of Palestine. Shame on the temporally state of Israel which will be left alone after America is gone..left alone in the middle of 1.5 billion angry Muslims and Arab..think about ur future cowards..dad America will not be there for ever...too bad.

The people of Gaza are sure to remember the embarrassment they felt when their "martyrs and defenders" hid while the people of Gaza watched the IDF move around Hamas' home turf without serious opposition.

Hamas has built a bed of hell and misery for the people of Gaza. The people of Gaza should despair for the fatal,fateful choice they made. It's easier to blame Israel than the forces of jihad who only bring despair and misery to the lives of their own people. And yet the rats on parade can only blame Israel for defending themselves from such evil vermin who kill for their strange god al ugh.

To No 21, Smuel. allah, a useless god?; wrong my friend. He exists only in their imaginations, in their wortless koran, in their con-men the imams, and in the mind of illiterate masses living in abject poverty in the hope of hitting the jackpot in heaven. Throughout the ages, all they got and are getting is HELL ; while their masters, potentates, sheiks, dictators, live in unparallel splendor with the riches "confiscated" from their "beloved" brothers --- the arabs.
