hamas does not want peace ...it wants the whole land of ISRAEL ! !

Israel needs a big defense budget so that it can protect itself from multiple threats on multiple fronts. Israel also cannot rely on international help as we've seen how helpful they've been in the diplomatic circle. Also, if a qassam has to take an Israeli's life, I hope it's a liberal because then the whole situation would take care of itself.

Due to the ineffectiveness of serving the electorate, those who serve to protect those that the land is named for accept capricious orders to enforce with an iron fist, to destroy the lives they are to protect by "law." Instead of disenfranchiseing the electorate and issuing orders to destroy their lives, one could lower the cost of so-called "defense" by issuing orders to eliminate the threat. Enforce the right of return of the genocidal, mass-murdering extortionists back to the homicidal, Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name.

I am a lover of Israel, but I can't help but wonder: Don't you people think that your arrogance means that your children will never ever know the meaning of peace?

Woman. It is certainly worth noting the facts of this incident. Gaza Terrorists fire a rocket at Israeli citizens and hit a Moslem woman. She goes to the neighboring kibbutz who bandage her wounds without question or hesitation. They then take her to an Israeli hospital for further treatment. Is there any question of the vicious evil that consumes the Gaza terrorists? Their goal is simply murder and terror. Ask Fatima about how she and other Arabs are also victims of the murderous terrorists of Gaza. Ask the Arabs who work along with Israelis in Haifa area and other areas about how they are treated. If all of the Arabs who singularly focused on terror and murder were to have tried to make peace with us over the last century instead of trying to annihilate us, they would also enjoy the fruits of peace that Israeli Arabs enjoy or at least a far better quality of life. Today there is not reason to give the gazan terrorists or one engaged in terror in PA any concessions whatsoever. And this goes for all of those who support the terrorists.

IDF killed 2 Palestinians. Think these aren't related? Then you are ignorant.

The Arabian NOMADS are ready for the UN

look, if the rockets didn't hit open field it would hit a Bedouin. will that continue till Sept.?

Hope she gets well soon. Why didn't Iron Dome shoot it down? The US spent money we had to borrow to finance that system to prevent this from happening. Is the system faulty or was it deliberately not used?

How long will Israel tolerate the rockets from Gaza. Are you waiting for the rockets to hit a school bus and kill many children before you wake up from your slumber? Had Israel replied with disproportionate force when the rockets were first used there would be no rockets from Gaza.

To Anonymous... Is it arrogant to refuse to commit suicide? Appallingly insensitive question you ask of the Israeli people. Your comment sounds like the Norwegian ambassador - that terror attacks are the fault not of the terrorists, but of Israel. Twisted.

Hamas is feeling safer to fire rockets because it gets only a symbolic bombing of the smuggling tunnels, with little to no casualties. Israel needs to REALLY hurt them so they'll get the message. What Israel needs is Operation Cast Lead II. During Cast Lead, the government considered dealing a "knock-out blow" to Hamas, but decided against it due to the potential casualties and international criticism. This time, Israel needs to deal that blow and endure the criticism while it lasts. The world will forget. Hamas won't.

whos arrogance? ============ take a look at the hamas and fatah charters do an internet search the term fafur "palistinian mickey mouse" these are the real reasons israeli children will never know real peace... even if tomorrow israel magicly disapeared ,,,,the hate and bitterness ingrained in the palistinian children will stain the region with bitter endfighting for generations to come...but liberal vision don't go that far....

Forgive my answer, but screw you.

There really is no hope for these barbarians. The IDF should take out 10 of their tunnels. It won't stop them but it sends clear message.

the liberals and leftist's will never figure it out,because leftis'm is an icurable and severe mental disorder,and it is also suicidal. your leftist leaders (and that includes Bibi) will lead you down a path of death and destruction,get rid of them before it's too late,and you lose your beloved Israel

The rocket fire has nothing to do with Israel or arrogance...it is pure hatred the Muslims have for the Jews. The children in Gaza are in terrorists training camps for the summer, 100,000 attending this summer alone. All the tv shows for kids, songs, commercials are about killing Jews and how the Jews need to be exterminated and Israel destroyed. Hamas and the Nazis are one in the same and as their was no arrogance against the Nazis, this is also just about hatred and the Palestinians desire to kill Jews. All of this is after Israel left Gaza and took out 9,000 Jews, in order to create the ethnically cleansed Gaza, which is the same way it is in Jordan, W.Bank and many other Muslim countries. You need to place the blame alone on those who don't desire peace, the Palestinians, who will not accept that there is a Jewish state, size irrelevant.

a shepered got hit, but this penomena isn't in Israel only, the violant rally they do in Europe r just as worse.

Well said!!!! Also, go into any Israeli hospital in the country and you will see that it is filled with Arab patients. They want to kill us and we save their lives!!

who told you that israelis are so arrogent?...your television news network?...you are brainwashed idiots...ill bet you never even met an israeli or was in israel...

From the recent rocket fire and retaliation by IDF. Rocket fired into open field, or hits a Muslim woman. Air strike injures or kills Palestinians (not all Palestinians are Muslims). Zero Israeli Jews have been harmed by the recent rocket fire. This doesn't sound interesting to anybody else? A group known for targetting civilians wouldn't waste rockets in open fields, especially with the blockade and the retaliation (bombing tunnels).

what you call arrogant, we call survival. Jane-I loved you comment!!!

Well that was a pretty arrogant reply....

simple hamas stops all rocket and mortor fire....and it would not be necessary for israel to respond.... there is a sayi that has been going around. "if hamas and the palistinians would lay dow thier weapons there would be a permanant and productive peace with israelis and palistinians living side by side....if israel layed down its weapons there would be no Israel period."(check the hamas charter for its intention toward Israel)

She says it is all up to her allah. Does her allah deny her the capacity to think freely, objectively and without fear of intimidation? Very telling that her allah sends her to a Jewish hospital after her fellow allahs of peace nearly murdered her! Brainless person who encourages the destruction of the people who help her. Yet not one word of thanks or condemnation of her fellow religion of peace terrorists!

as one of the "you people" that you address your unsolicited advice to, i wonder, do you mean the "arrogance" of not accepting your jesus, or do you mean the "arrogance" of not submitting to their islam? because the only peace that those can bring is the peace of the grave, which i DO NOT wish on my children or upon yours!

not a word of thank you to the very people they so much love to hurt. one would have thought that decency will prevail over these back stabbers whose only hope of support and world class medicare is the state of Isreal.

When my 84 year old mother encountered safety issues with her apartment, I went to Home Center in the Kirayot and Samir, an Arab, helped me pick out the right tools and supplies to fix all these safety problems. He was absolutely the best but it never made the headlines in YNET. When I went to Steimatzky's to buy some books, their were Arab girls working side by side with Israeli girls all helping all customers regardless of nationality or religious. This too wasn't in YNET headlines. When I took my mother to Kupat Cholim in Kiryat Bialik, there were Jewish and Arab patients and doctors and again you saw nothing but peace at its best. And again YNET failed to report this. When I drove to Sakhnin to buy official jerseys of their team after they won the Israeli national soccer championship, I saw a 25 foot high copy of the Statue of Liberty. The Israeli Arabs in the coffee shop, computer store, and everywhere on the way could not have been kinder of nicer. And once more YNET failed to cover this in their headlines. I can go on in Akko, Jerusalem, Nazareth telling of my experiences. Don't paint all Arabs with one brush. But on the other hand the terrorist do more harm to themselves, their families, and national aspirations than they do to us since we implemented the blockade and other security measures.
