1. Too late, war is upon them
david ,   uk/rsa   (04.07.11)
2. Fire 45 rockets into Israel ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.07.11)
... and then declare a cease fire? Oh, it doesn't work that way. Sorry. Check back on Friday.
3. Another Ceasefire from Hamas
Devorah   (04.07.11)
Where have we seen this before? Hamas violates its own ceasefires. What happened is that Israel gave them a scare, and they need time to regroup so that they can, again, break their self-imposed ceasefire.
4. Iron Dome has the potential to make Hamas look weak
Steve ,   Atlanta USA   (04.07.11)
The more missles Israel shoots down, the more ineffectual Hamas looks. Iron Dome plus Israeli attacks could result in Gazans concluding that the PA is a better bet Hamas can do nothing.
5. LEFTIST OR WEAK LEADERS NEED A CEASEFIRE. JUST DESTROY GAZA
Robert Blum ,   New York USA   (04.07.11)
There is NO Jewish occupation! There is only a Muslim occupation of Judea & Samaria, which the Muslims cleverly renamed 'The West Bank', in order to de-Judaize the area in the world's collective mind. The Muslims of Jordan (formerly Trans-Jordan, which England created), cleverly re-named themselves "palestinians" in the 1960's, and revised history in order to gain world sympathy for their cause, which is the annihilation of Israel, and to teach the great lie, which is, that the Jews stole their land from them! Before Jordan started its war against Israel, they told their Muslims brothers in Jerusalem & in Samaria & in Judea to sell the land to the Jews, because they were confident that they & their co-religionist Muslim nations (Syria, Egypt, etc.), would destroy Israel & so they could thereafter keep the land as well. So they sold & fled & waited for the results of the war. Israel won that war. They recaptured the Holy Jewish land; Jerusalem, Samaria & Judea. They rightfully settled it, even though Obama the Muslim, who constantly quotes the Qoran, (NOT the Bible), demands Israel to stop settling Jewish, G-d-given land. Israel, unlike the Jordanians, allowed Christians & Muslims to come & go freely in those areas. The deeds to the land were and are owned by Jews. They allowed the Muslims to continue living in Jewish apartments & homes as long as they continued paying rent to the Jews. Arafat came along & told the Muslims to be arrogant & not pay! They stopped paying and were consequently evicted. Of course Islam, the revisionist liars, tell the world that the Jews are pushing them out of their rightful land! It is NOT Muslim land, regardless of the fact that the Muslims continue to teach and even believe their own lies!
6. It means they're vulnerable- This is the time to strike hard
Yair   (04.07.11)
7. I'm very angry.
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.08.11)
8. why are we stopping?!! only to lose another life?
ralph   (04.08.11)
9. #3
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.08.11)
When Hamas declares a ceasefire they mean that Israel stops firing. The sad thing is that Obama, Netanyahu and Barak agree with them.
10. Yeah... no way in hell
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (04.08.11)
You think we're going to keep a cease fire after you shoot everything you've got at us and we know you're just going to break the cease fire as soon as you've got more. We'll pound your people while you've got nothing left
11. War is not a game
Roland ,   Miami Beach, USA   (04.08.11)
Sophistication defeats the ones who think it is. To end war now, declare peace with the return of all POWs.
12. Declaring ceasefire is exactly what DM Barak was waiting for
(04.08.11)
If the terrorists are declaring ceasefire Barak will accept it with open arms. He'd much rather fight HIS real enemies - the Jews and destroy their homes, than fight Arab terrorist.
13. take the cease fire..
wmd   (04.08.11)
14. 100 miles for 1 of their filthy rockets!
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.08.11)
15. Israel should decide if there is to be
Barney ,   USA   (04.08.11)
a ceasefire and if the leaders choose that path then they should be replaced. A firm overwhelming response is what is called for. Honestly, does anybody believe the arabs understand anything else?
16. Ceasefire - Palestinian style
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.11)
Palestinian terrorists are fond of ceasefires. That's why they declare so many of them. It's very simple. They shoot, then they immediately declare a ceasefire, then anyone who shoots back at the terrorists is accused of "breaking a ceasefire", then the Palis fire on Israeli civilians again, immediately declaring another ceasefire... It's amazing that after doing this again and again and again, some people STILL don't get it - and still think that it is possible to negotiate a "peace deal" with Palestinians. Wake up!!!
17. School Bus = Military Target???
Jake in Jerusalem ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.11)
Where is Judge Goldstone and the UN Human Rights Commission??? Palestinians fired an ANTI-TANK missile, deliberately aimed at a large, bright yellow Israeli SCHOOL BUS! If that isn't a WAR CRIME and CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY, then nothing is!!! Where is the outrage? The press hardly even mentions that it was a SCHOOL BUS!!!
18. israelis are good
alexi   (04.08.11)
Israel is one heck of a country with many fine citizens,who do their idf duty and face off against evil that most of the world knows nothing about. it has a few pacifists and cowards that scandinavia knows a lot about, appeasement, fear of militaryy and war-you know who I am talking about -olmert, haber, livni, beilin, ben ami, oppenheimer, dana olmert and her brother, oz, burg. This is not unusual since europe is replete with chamberlains. After the holcaust it is unusual for a jew to be a pacifist. As bielskis said, defend yourselves and fight for your lives. And reagan who says trust but verify. haaretz is a white chamberlain newspaper. And lots of haredi have an aversian to martial training. i urge the state toforce the yishais and haredi to all take martial arts to change their image which are magnets for attack.
19. Hudna (yawn)
Stephen in New York   (04.08.11)
Ceasefire for "so long as convenient for Hamas." Eventually the bill will come due. Let Hamas take the check.
20. Now arabs declared ceasefire
Captain Obvious ,   Ashkelon   (04.08.11)
and if IDF will strike back, it will look like IDF broke ceasefire and violated peace agreements. And obviously the whole will blame Israel for it.
21. Have you paid attention
David ,   On this planet   (04.08.11)
After being attacked Israel retaliate by blowing two or three tunnels and leaves the rest for later.That tells me that Israel knows where all the tunnels are, but hits only one or two so they will have some for next time. this is so funny it is also very sad. I fully and always will support Israel, but sometimes I wonder what the leadership is doing
22. Ceasefire?
Ben ,   Free world   (04.08.11)
First the bastards fire 45 rockets, and then they declare a ceasefire. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha It just does not work that way.
23. RECIPROCAL CEASE FIRE
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
The cease fire is a fiction Israel must pay back with interest added Stop bombing the tunnels, go for the population centers, just as Hamas does
24. #11 Roland , that's a fantastic idea
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
Read the PLO Charter & Hamas Covenant's, there's no provision for Peace, only for the destruction of Israel and the expulsion of all Jews therein Peace, yeah sure, Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Pakistan, all under attack by America ( Pakistan’s, (Drones do the job) I suggest that you direct your preaching to the Whitehouse
25. #15
Alex ,   USA   (04.08.11)
You have got the right idea. Overwhelming response !!! That's the only language they understand.
26. They always want the same thing
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.08.11)
First, Hamas attacks Israel, then when Israel responds, suddenly they want a ceasefire. I guess, thinking they blame Israel for attacking, G-d forbid Israel be allowed to defend itself. Actually it's become a joke. This is the second time in one month they've tried this same tactic.. Sorry Hamas, it won't work!! First Israel will respond, big time, then maybe...if your lucky...Israel might accept a ceasefire. But don't count on it. You called down the fire and drew first blood. Israel has the moral right, and obligation, to take Hamas down, hard!! Hamas only understands getting brutally beaten, that is what Israel must do. Every time Hamas hits Israel, Israel needs to hit back with twenty times the power. That's called a "deterrent", not "disproportional force", and sadly it's the only language the terrorists understand. So speak their lingo, pound them like dogs into the dirt.
27. Shariah Law, Folks
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, USA   (04.08.11)
Just another example of the Shariah Law that will soon be upon us all if we don't stop it. Muslims have the right to shoot at us, but we cannot shoot back. Muslims can say Jesus was not a God and didn't die on the cross, but we cannot say the littlest thing about Mohammed. Muslims try to convert people to Islam, but Muslims themselves cannot leave their faith. Muslim men can marry Christian and Jewish women, but Muslim women can only marry Muslim men. Mecca and Medinah can only be visited by Muslims.
28. Israeli leaders have no BALLS!!!!
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (04.08.11)
What kind of leader let's a terrorist organization launch 45 rockets against its country and or population centers in one day? This is crazy. Bibi & Barack are the weakest leaders the world has ever seen. Israeli's complain about Obama but look at Southern Israel the people are hiding in bomb shelters while there leaders travel the world.
29. to Sarah B # stop this nonsense propaganda !!!
Rayan ,   US   (04.08.11)
Sarah ..we did that many times past several years..it didnt help...u understand this !!! . STOP your nonsense bullshit idea about hit back ...sitting in US many Jews like you can say that....one another rocket ..may be my son or by neighbors daughter will be killed.....can you give us back their life.....?????....It is for Israel`s interest that we should choose the path of peace...Nobody in the world till today win by violence...
30. No deal!Let them have it!!!
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.08.11)
