4. #2 haha
dabosshog ,   Jewland   (01.23.09)
It is so lame to have to read posts like yours. It only shows how simple minded you are. It also shows how little you know about international law and geneva convention. It is truly important to have just a little grasp of reality before you post. what a joke.
5. HE HAS LITTLE CHOICE...............#2
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.23.09)
Having caused the atrocities on the civilian population and having been unable to dimantle a democratically elected HAMAS,what else can he boast about.Nevertheless,chances are more regrets to follow rather than any achievements on 'security'.
6. IDF!!
Ilana   (01.23.09)
ENjoy your weekend at home!! Itis well deserved. We all appreciate your risking you rlives tosave our children! It felt like we were watching our soldiers enter hell to fight the devil-it was very scaryas theyhave no morals whatsoever andif they kill their own people, what can one expect they'd try do to the enemy?? Ghastly ghastly hamas!!

Christiane   (01.23.09)
We, here in Europe, or at least those who have not been islamized or influenced by arab propoganda, have great respect for you. We heard how moral you try to be, and how you fight. We admire you. It gives hope. Europe is being taken over my islam. And soon it will be a quarter islam!! OMG!!

9. #2- Typical PC brigades scum
Ted ,   UK   (01.23.09)
He will be seen at the Hague, when you will drink the sea water of Gaza, like your late friend Arafat said..
10. Maj.-Gen. Galant
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (01.23.09)
B"H - Maj.-Gen. Galant: "In Gaza op we showed we won't allow anyone to dispute our presence in this land" - ABY: Great achievement general, congrats! [ironic]

observer   (01.23.09)
those poor soldiers, who look after their security? The crime was committed and our refusal did not prevent it. This is obviously the limit of “passive” refusal, because it does not prevent others from committing war crimes. Today soldiers can more easily prevent war crimes in the making. It is beyond any doubt that it is not and cannot be defined as illegal to draw the attention of Israeli soldiers to their moral and legal duty. It is even our duty to do so. An example of active prevention was demonstrated in recent years by an Israeli headquarters soldier who refused to transmit coordinates to pilots who were on their way to bomb targets in civilian areas, and thus prevented the commission of a war crime
13. Yes - there's a REAL commander for you. Impressive
Nudnik   (01.23.09)
Brilliant. The war was conducted much better than I had expected - Given the devastation, not too many human shields killed given the absolute walloping dished out to the enemy. Obviously, instead of getting weaker (as I had thought), the IDF rebounded well.
14. #2 & #5 EAT CROW! :-) (nobody is going on trial)
Islamophobe   (01.23.09)
15. "the battle for Israel's security is not over."
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.23.09)
because you again fialed to finish off hamas as you did with Hizbollah. How foolish and weak you have become to allow this to happen ! Islam only understands it's utter defeat and nothing short will suffice . You have fallen short too often to appease your false god in Wahsington who does not deliver on his promise of peace .
16. #2 Chanal- you expect Gen Galant to visit you in the Hague?
Alan ,   SA   (01.23.09)
You and those you support should be in the Hague ... Do you think that a gang who has shot 60000 Rockets and hid in Civilian clothes among civilians deserve the protection of the Hague?
17. IDA for IDF
observer   (01.23.09)
will he secure army defense attorney (IDA) for each of his soldiers? Flagrantly illegal orders must not simply be disobeyed but actively opposed. The commission of war crimes should not simply be refused but actively prevented!
18. Southern Command chief: ......
Dave Wilson ,   usa   (01.23.09)
"Southern Command chief: Battle for Israel's security not over". Poor Israel, what happened? Did you loose again? It semed that you've become accustomed to loosing, and you make up for it by commiting war crimes against civilians. Shame on you.
19. Well done IDF, and thank you.
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (01.23.09)
My peeve is: Why is the Israeli government not issuing a counter charge complaint to the Hague. Hamas is guilty of: Kidnap, Murder Child Abuse, Terrorising an ajoining country. Supresion of women, Intimidation of its people, Using human shields. Fraud, (mis-appropriation of UN & EU funds), Forced starvation of its people. Brainwashing. And that just off the top of my head!
20. MARCEL................................#15
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.23.09)
Thanks for being truthful.Rather than believing how strong you are it is always good to know how STRONG your opponent is.In the case of Gaza, the only price the present and future generation in Israel will definitely pay for is the killing of children and women.The wanton destruction of human life has caused upheaval all over the world.From military point of view Barak will tell you how miserable underachievement it was.Hamas stands stronger today just as Hizbullah did after the 33 days encounter.
21. Ilana, Vicky and Christiane
Sandra   (01.23.09)
You said it like it is!! Hamas is a terror group! How silly to assume Israel is gulty of crime and yet ignore what Hamas has done!! If someone had accused Hamas then I would take accusations against Israel at least into thought. but as soon as its only Israel, its like yeah takes one to know one... Where were all these Hague chasers for the last 8years? Is it really okay to fire 40 missiles a day into civilian areas especiallyat times when children are most exposed?? Does anyone out there think this is OK????? No remarks, just a yes or no please.
22. #18
ronen ,   ny   (01.23.09)
Apparently, you're just as delusional as the terrorists. What loss are you referring to exactly?? Gaza was destroyed. 1.5 billion in damages, hamas soldiers and civilians dead. HAMAS looks as incompetent as ever! And yeah, in war civilians die.
23. #2 you misspelled Londanstian
observer   (01.23.09)
24. mahmood, you Know how hamass booby traped "All of gaza"
observer   (01.23.09)
like they bragged for years how can you prove who killed most of those stuck in there homes? Hamasholes forced people to stay in booby trapped building when they sought to leave, even rigging a UN school to explode when they shot at the IDF from inside it. You really got to be blind to believe anyone wasn't killed directly as a result of hamas. Oh but you are Blind. nevermind
25. funny how quick Hellzbullys#it were so quick to disavowe the
observer   (01.24.09)
rockets fire towards the north of Israel. Sounds like they are still trying to avoid another victory like their last. Talk is cheap and actions SPEAK VOLUMES. their actions in wanting to help the brothers is gaza speak of knowing like the rest of the world how beaten they really are up there in Hellsbully ville. To put it is plain english Islam has already lost the war and are seeing their version of Israels' God powerless. defeated and now unreadable. They didn't even try to fight, either of them. why is that?
26. BLINDNESS.....................................#24
MAHMOOD ,   LONDON-UK   (01.24.09)
So unfortunate that you are not updated with the events which are gradually unfolding.Besides wordly counter measures, you should remain prepared for the wrath of Almighty God.I thought you would come up with a strong stand against these commanders who ordered reckless killing at random and ensured the world press was kept at bay...................where does blindness come in?Atleast convince yoourself,not me.
