1. Erekat have you become a comedian overnight.
ralph   (08.19.11)
you are next.
2. what an idiot.
Dude ,   Melbourne   (08.19.11)
if i had my way and im not army tactician but i would implement surgical strikes on all their targets as well as under cover agents planting explosives all over the gaza strip, sinai and west bank if need be. an eye for an eye. do it!
3. Israel should act "responsible"
jason white ,   afula, israel   (08.19.11)
We should hit not only the ham-ass leadership and their population in gaza, but the p.a. and their population in our lierated territories.
4. Attacking Gaza won't stop terror
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (08.19.11)
Killing innocent people is not the way to make peace, every human being should realize this. You condemn the terror attacks earlier for targetting innocent civilians in Israel, yet cheer for attacking innocent Gazans? Absolutely disgusting. There is nothing human about this, it's very warped thinking. Palestinians are humans too, just like Israeli's and the rest of the world. The sooner you realize this, the sooner there will be peace.
5. watch it Erekat
David K. ,   chazy, ny US   (08.19.11)
Erekat: it is you who should act responsibly. How dare you tell Israel to act responsibly?! Erekat and the whole PA,.. sleep with one eye open.
6. I'M GLAD EREKAT WARNED ISRAEL
.......DACON9   (08.19.11)
THE ARABS CALLED palistinian are good honorable people and do acts of terror according to their beliefs.This is to be praised. I AM ADVISING EREKAT NOT TO REPRIMAND HIS ARAB PEOPLE FOR ANY TERRORIST ACTS. Those foolish ISRAELIS defending their rights to survive MUST BE WARNED.... DO NOT VALUE YOUR LIFES WHERE YOU ARE PUT INTO THE POSITION TO DEFEND AND RETAILIATE.ISRAELIS GIVE UP BECAUSE THOSE ARABS WILL CONVINCE THE WORLD THE KORAN SAYS THEY HAD TO KILL JEWS Israelis are warned....... Wow, this is good material for a batman movie.
7. speak louder than words… A message to the PA
LT COL HOWARD ,   WASHINGTON DC   (08.19.11)
This is an act of war! Israel should retaliate by taking out 2 to 3 levels up and 2 to 3 levels down of the leadership. If this does not work in Israel should escalate. It should announce that it is committed to a “proportionate” response and is adjusting the appropriate proportion to assure that such an attack will never again take place in the future. Unfortunately, some Israeli writers and organizations have given the rejectionist leadership the picture that Israel is uncertain and divided. This leads directly to Israeli deaths. I have been critical of Livini since remarks and actions both in Israel and abroad have given the message that the current government can and will be undercut.
8. Convincing “Lebanon pride”
LT COL HOWARD ,   WASHINGTON DC   (08.19.11)
Unless Lebanon pride can come up with an effective to stop the terror attacks his nonsense will only lead to more Israeli and Arab deaths. Where was he before 1967 when the Arabs (Palestinians) crossed from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, the West Bank, etc. to murder Jews. There was no “occupation” at that time.
9. Whatever,proof of your IQ
Jeff ,   USA   (08.19.11)
THIS IS WHY YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A PALESTINIAN STATE.EVER. You cant handle being human beings and overcome your Muslim ways of trying to stab,shoot and blow up Jews...
10. Assassinate Erekat and Abbas!
Vlad   (08.19.11)
11. Response?
Salom ,   U.S.A.   (08.19.11)
Dead wrong! Are you waiting for more casulties to hapen? More innocent civilian lives lost? Wake up Netanyahu, act like a man! Preempt!
12. Death bargaining.
(08.19.11)
am i the only one who is sickened by this 'death bargaining' the PA and israel are basically doing? What the PA are basically 'giving permission' to Israel to kill a few Palestinians ("ideally" just slightly higher than the number of Israelis killed) but nothing further, otherwise it would break the unspoken agreed upon 'loop'.
13. to 4 lemonade
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (08.19.11)
Are you a complete idiot or just stupid-your post is that of an imbecile.How dare you call those terrorists in Gaza human beings. The IDF are too soft on you terrorists-should carpet bomb the lot.
14. Binyamin Bufoonyahoo
Bibi Lee ,   Lubbock USA   (08.19.11)
Sorry excuse for a human, inventing new excuses for for sorry behavior, on behalf of a sorry band of snivellers. So sorry.
15. Erekat is threatening Bibi, Oh Come On
Noah Lev ,   HollywoodUSA   (08.19.11)
I have suggested for years, that a coaltion of the brave be sent to the Pales territories and search and destroy the leadership of Hamas, Islamic Jihad, etc. These people would be made up of former army, navy marines, airforce, police (local and federal), security personnel, etc., with experience in law enforcement. I m prepared to go, as are many of my friends. Im sure the Israeli govt woudl provide us with weapons..and tactical advice.I have Poeple like Erekat, Fayyad, Shaath, Ashwari, Barghouti, would be at the top of our list. Why is Israel bargaining with Hamas over Shalit? They loo klike beggers? Hamas needs leaders in the W. Bk..and releasing 1,000 would give them that asset. Why not an eye for an eye? 25 to life or capita lpunishment. A 25.00 rope will do. Bibi is afraid of US/EU/UN reactions..and is fighting with one hand. The Pales say they are under siege. Under seige? Syrians are under siege. Turkey just bombed 60 Kurdish sites in Iraq...where is Goldstone? Yet Turkey wants an apology from Israel for defending its sailors who enforced the blockade. As if nothing is being smuggled?
16. Only answer for peace...
Mark E. Kleiman ,   Florida, USA   (08.19.11)
REBUILD Gush Katif!
17. A WARNING TO TERRORIST SAEB EREKAT :
Wingate II   (08.19.11)
'' He who curses Israel will be cursed!'' So says the God of Israel. You wanna continue to terrorize Israel - so you are cursed by the one and only God ! Consider this very carefully !
18. IDF...Kol HaKovod
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (08.19.11)
Best wishes and the best possible success in snuffing out this plague. Press on. Press on. Press on.
19. and remind me once more why people wsant to move to israel
(08.19.11)
again? i just dont see it to be put in harms way all the time . sorry wouldnt move there or live there.
20. shame IDF didn't hit them BEFORE the attack
Mike Cantrell ,   NY NY   (08.19.11)
what kind of army waits for its people to be killed and maimed first when they already knew where the enemy was? what kind of government would do this? answer: TRAITORS who should be put up against the wall and their brains blown out.
21. go ahead and hide in the mosques
Ehud Baraq ,   Israel   (08.19.11)
we will never hit your mosques we respect you and your maim molest mayhem and murder god the allahmonster too much - love and a big hug, your friend, Ehud Baraq
22. #4 LebanonBS - spare me your HYPOCRISY
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (08.19.11)
Israel is RETALIATING by hitting known MILITARY targets. On the other hand, the pali TERROR attacks ARE about "Killing innocent people" cos the perpetrators CHOSE and targeted Israeli CIVILIANS. That you try to EQUATE both acts as the SAME is indeed LAUGHABLE at best. And I note that you call the RETALIATORY actions "Absolutely disgusting" but are totally SILENT over the terror acts. Which of course your CLEAR bias simply EXPOSES your dripping HYPOCRISY in your opening sentence.
23. # 4
RC ,   USA   (08.19.11)
The belligerent so called Palestinians in Gaza showed their true colors when they chose terrorists to lead them, they chose their fate. For too long has Israel put up with their foolish and wicked ways.
24. Kol hakavod la'Tzahal!
Sam ,   NY, soon to be IL   (08.19.11)
25. Palestinians say Gaza under major assault
jogyma ,   nbi, kenya.   (08.19.11)
Hamas / Saeb Erekat, please note that the Lion of Judah humbleness doesn't mean its asleep and can not strike.
26. Has the PLO also objected to the acts of terror against ...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (08.19.11)
...Israeli civilians, the firing of anti-tank missile against a private vehicle with civilian passengers going on their holiday; the firing of anti-tank missile at a public bus? Why hasn't Mr. Erekat say anything about this form of collective "punishment"...??!! Why a cynical world...!!
27. Bombing
Jewfromhell ,   nyc usa   (08.19.11)
The only bomb I want to see in Gaza is one with a mushroom cloud over it!
28. Hamas Attack, Israeli Retaliation
CrypticGuise ,   Jackson, NJ USA   (08.19.11)
Lebanon pride is naive or just plain stupid. Israel must hit back strongly against any attack against them and DESTROY the leaders of Hamas and the PA. Kill them all.
29. GO IDF....Make these Gazans never want to kill again
BJL ,   us   (08.19.11)
The subhuman islamists in Gaza must know that you dont ever murder an Israeli without knowing the hell that is at the door if they do.
30. Cowardly Terrorists
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (08.19.11)
Erekat added that the Palestinian Authority objects to any kind of violence, which he said does not serve the Palestinian interest or the Palestinian people’s aspiration for freedom and independence. In my opinion this guy is either a complete idiot or is still reacting to the anesthesia given him for a recent operation. Such thinking is contrary to any State recognition by the UN. How can one live next to terrorists who threaten Israel's right to exist? The IDF does not fire at school and vacation buses. It does not ambush innocent folks who are on vacation. It does not pepper Gaza with missiles on a daily basis. But it will defend its citizens from Hamas terrorists and their cohorts.
