Got to stop wussy-pussying around and start to hit hard - but Kadima won't allow it, they are laaaaaaaaaaaadies!!!!

And the problem will stop. Then threaten to flatten all of Lebanon if there is another rocket. The problem will stop immediately. Carry through the threat if it doesn't. You must show strength, not weakness.

Kol HaKavod 3 & 4 - well said. They seem to want to suffer, or rather their people to suffer while they hide in their bunkers and in Syria. They want another reason to twist the facts to make their people believe all the propoganda against Israel but they are leaving us NO CHOICE. You can't bomb a country and not expect retaliation...if there's a 3rd Lebanese war it's their own fault - Israel is much more prepared and thought out this time compared to 2 years ago.

People, this is just provocation. Hizballah is trying to: (1) provoke us and (2) showing 'some' support for Gaza. My belief is that we need to restrain our reaction. If the North situation escalates, then we have proper cause to retaliate.

Time perhaps to begin dealing with the threats building up around us.

would that be enough escalation for you? or maybe a few kids need to die first before you would justify a retailiation for THEM bombing US first???

FREE THE GAZANS NOW

There will be immediate and worldwide condemnation of Israel for its disproportionate response to those Katyushas aimed at that extensive military-industrial complex in Kiryat Shmona. What do you mean there are mostly civilians? Oh well, in that case those Kayushas were an expression of sympathy for the a--hats in Gaza and therefore are understandable and acceptable. I'm sure the EU and UN will explain all of that to you. While those 2 collections of imbeciles concoct their usual BS, how about let the IAF do a fly-by and give those border idiots a taste of what "disproportionate" could look like and maybe they will have second thoughts and forget about sympathy for anybody's hides except their own. Then again, that would call for good sense and there doesn't seem to be any of that. Is there something in the water they drink, is it something they smoke or does the sight of anything blue and white make these people completely crazy?

in the next war israel will be complitely destroyed, since the arabs now know that israel is so weak and after some 20 days of fighting in gaza they can't deal with a small group like hamass... the next war will happened from different fronts, and its duration will be for more then 6 months in a way that israel will not be able to live after that...

I hope it doesnt happen even though i understand you "WANT" this to happen, arab armies wont be hiding among civilians like in Gaza and it would be free to shoot and full fire power..

You will not be defeated by Arab armies, classical armies can't destroy your country, you will be defeated by huge numbers of guerrillas trained to fight like Hezbollah and Hamas... in the mountains, valleys and most important of all and for the first time since 48 inside your cities.

Israel has been fighting a war for 60 years, 7 months and 20 days. We can handle Hamas and if it weren't for politics we'd have already wiped out Hamas. You really think your old weapons can match the state of the art weapons we hold???? you are a dreamer and perhaps waking up to reality would be too harsh for you. Israel is not scared of Hamas, and our soldiers are ready and willing to fight for the safety of its citizens. if you want a 6 month war, bring it on - we're already into Gaza city - the next stage is just a few rockets away - keep them coming and see the result. Maybe we'll even hire some of the survivors to build up the condos and beach resort in the place formerly known as GAZA. We beat all our fronts in the 6-day war, we'll do it again, anytime, anyday for as long as it takes.

The Al Bushehr nuclear plant in Iran. It must be done ASAP, regardless of any and all international opinion.

This person represents a very wide-spread belief in the Arab world that we are weak, that we can be defeated, that we will be destroyed. I hear this all the time lately from friends back home, from articles in many Arab publications, & in the hateful preaching of Muslim clerics. This is the perception in the Muslim world. It doesn't matter if it is an accurate perception for it to be dangerous. The perception that we are weak & can be defeated encourages aggression. This is the image we have projected since Oslo. Every concession, every negotiation, every avoidance of confrontation, every apology for our self-defense, has destroyed our deterrence. First disengagement from Gaza & then the Lebanon fiasco have confirmed this to our enemies. Trying too hard for peace only brings you war. That's the real conclusion.

to number 12 ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THE PALISTIANS ARE COWARDS THEY HIDE BEHIND CIVILIANS, WOMAN AND CHILDREN THEY DO NOT COME OUT AND SHOW THEMSELVES AND FIGHT A DECENT FIGHT. HOW CAN THE WORLD BLAME ISRAEL , WHAT DO THEY WANT ISRAEL TO JUST SIT BACK AND BE FIRED UPON FOR 8 YEARS AND DO NOTHING?????????? THE RED CROSS HAVE MUCH TO SAY ABOUT ISRAEL , BUT WHY HAVE THEY NOT BEEN ABLE TO SEE GILAD SHALIT???? BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY ONE SIDED .... THEY ARE IN GAZA VERY QUICKLY TO BEABLE TO CONDEM ISRAEL BUT CANNOT EVEN GET TO SEE GILAD WHAT IS THIS?????????

All signs are there to tell the Jews to be wise & leave the Middle East now & not tomorrow; the future of Israel is not certain . Why don' t they all go live in the U.S. ? I'm sure they'll be more than welcome over there.

#19 What are you doing in Canada??????? Why are you not in Gaza where you belong. I will tell you why. because to live in a democratic free country is wonderful. To live together with your fellowman in Gaza or anywhere else in the Middle East is like being in Jail not FREE to do what you wish. SO WHY DO YOU NOT GO BACK TO WHERE YOU COME FROM It is easy for you to write from Canada. Also another very important point IF YOU HATE THE AMERICANS OR SHOULD I SAY ANY OTHER RELIGION BUT ISLAM WHAT ARE DOING IN CANADA????? YOU ARE A HIPOCRITE JUST LIKE ALL THE ARABS LIVING OUTSIDE OF THEIR COUNTRIES... THEY HATE THE WEST BUT LOVE TO LIVE THERE.

Instructions are given not to bother to post on Israeli media so you can rant as much as you want because no one is bothering to read your orchestrated responses. However, if Israel attacks Lebanon then a propaganda war will be launched against Israel utilizing international media. No one wants Hamas or Hizbollah. we want to live in peace with Israel.

#19, you have got to be kidding me, our great great great great ancestors.... used to live in Israel thousands of years ago , beside we have already kicked out the Palestinian and now they are living in palaces in the refugee camps so no one is complaining. what’s left of them is in gaza and the west bank , we have left them 5% of our land for them to enjoy, moreover we are allowing them to communicate between each other by phones and emails as it is too dangerous for them to use the roads since our settlers are shooting any kid passing by in the head, we have made thousands of check points all over the 5% to ensure they don't harm themselves by travelling. We’ve even forbid all movement between the west back and gaza as we don’t feel its appropriate for Abbas to visit Gaza too often, he is only the president. beside , why would the US welcome us, the only reason they are supporting us is to make sure we don't live there. think man , think

for the bad of all Israelis, Israel does not have that supremacy of 67, and it seems that you will not be able to live in the middle east for more than 6 years from now....

and why there are Jews in France, Argentina and USA, they live there because they feel safer than living in Israel, that have its future unclear... so they don’t want for their future or the future of their children to be unclear...

so way do not save your time and leave you are project will fall sooner or later,and this war is just a grain to remind new generation that you have to leave.

Israel is the country for all the jews they will not leave and every day more jews are coming back to their homeland and the others think about it : lechana habaa biyroushalaim. So don't dream Israel is here to stay in her land not anywhere else
