1. You dig it and we destroy it........

2. are the Gaza's tunnels legitimate?
observer   (05.21.10)
Latin meaning of the jus cogens is the"compelling law." This "higher law" must be followed by all countries. The number of peremptory norms is considered limited but not exclusively cataloged. They are not listed or defined by any authoritative body, but arise out of case law and changing social and political attitudes. Generally included are prohibitions on waging aggressive war, crimes against humanity, war crimes, maritime piracy, genocide, apartheid, slavery, and torture. The 1986 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties affirmed jus cogens as an accepted doctrine in international law. Breaching the peremptory norms (jus cogens law) is illegitimate. So, what's genocide if it is not strangulating siege in the air, water and ground access of Gaza; starving and bombing 1.5 million residents? Yes!, Gaza's tunnels are legitimate and must be encouraged by ALL world countries
3. why don't they attack northen gaza???
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.21.10)
It seems to me that they should constantly attack the tunnels, not just when they shoot quaasams. But more important, they should attack nothern gaza where they actually launch the rockets. The residents there could simply tip off the IDF, but since they are more afraid of the Hamas then the IDF, they don't bother to call. The IDF should give them an impelling reason to call to tip off the IDF when terrorists are ready to launch a missile.
4. #3 exactly,
observer   (05.21.10)
Northerners in Gaza wishes to topple the IDF, instead of giving tip-offs to the IDF.
5. "Retaliatory" Strikes
Fred Hayward ,   Sacramento, USA   (05.21.10)
I can never understand why Israel bombs tunnels used to infiltrate terrorists "in retaliation" for rocket attacks. If these tunnels are used for infiltration, shouldn't they be bombed as soon as possible, without waiting for an "excuse"?
6. #4 - yeah, that what the Gazans say...
William ,   Israel   (05.22.10)
until they get the protection of the IDF...then the truth comes out, always. Remember the little girl who blamed Hamas for Cast Lead on Hamas TV, and was quickly stopped? I wonder what happened to her and her family.
