1) Invade the Philadelphi Corridor 2) Substitute Barak with Ya'alon 3) Tell all NGOs that they got one month to move their supplies to Gaza from Israel to Egypt. Then close the door between Israel and Gaza. What does Israel win on those gates? Goodwill? :)

Given that you've consistently called for nothing less than a total genocide of the Palestinian people, and you continue to insist that every single Arab will fight Israel to the death when less than 0.1% of them are actively involved in any such fighting, no I don't think anyone owes it to you to admit that you were "right" about anything, and the assertion that people like you help feed the violence is as true as ever before.

It seems we have many Bomber Harris fans here. For you youngsters, Bomber Harris was the head of the British Air Force in WWII who finally had to be directly ordered by Churchill to bomb specific military targets. Harris only wanted to bomb German cities and kill German civilians and did kill hundreds of thousands. There is a way to stop the rockets and that is to make an equitable peace with the Palestinians and give up your politicians' and rabbis' dreams of Eretz Israel from the Tigris to the Nile. Unfortunately Israel's current idea of an equitable peace is nothing more than eternal serfdom for the Palestinians. They are not going to accept that and the sooner Israel realizes that and gets serious about a real peace, you are going to have to live with fear, frustration, and the ungodly urge for inhumane revenge.

start at the closest border and take one block for every rocket fired you gave gaza for peace and they don't abide by the deal at the very least you might just build a buffer.

Apparently you're unable to comprehend a basic article in English. Yakir did NOT say "blow the crap out of Gaza", he said to use the hi-tech we have to specifically target the terrorists, avoid civilian casualties, and do it very often. That doesn't sound anything like what you have described.

The author of this article has it correct. Right or Left makes no difference. It is Israel's security that is at stake and the enemy respects ONLY strength -overwhelming strength and courage.

The US was attacked by Kamikaze suicide polits during WWII. The answer was Hrioshima and Nagasaki.

with this much heat in the middle east and our undisputed ally in so much debt you wana start another war? This is the last thing that should be done. what this article ought to read 'Make peace now' before it is too late. as you can see sir the middle east is changing quickly probably not to our favor and our strongest ally is going through severe turbulence. this is the time for us to calculate every next step carefuly and precisely. the time to make ill and unfounded steps like you suggest is not now. time to think outside your small box.

You are in the UK, come to Israel and then talk. Until then SHUT UP!! You don't know what is going on in Israel at all, as the media is ALWAYS blown out of proportion.

Wait until a rocket is fired on you and you narrowly escape with your life, what will your response be then? Better yet, make it a rocket that almost killed your children? Would your response be, let the killers sit idly by because they promised a cease fire yet still keep shooting. It only takes one bullet to kill a person you love, and it only takes one rocket to shatter 10's of peoples lives! Ponder that for a second before you speak!

What Israel needs is a strong decisive President like Obama that will fight and invade a foreign country and kill a terrorist regardless of world opinion or the host nation (OSAMA). Look at Nasrallah hiding in Lebanon with tens of thousands of missiles. Look at Hamas doing the same and the Israeli politicians are doing nothing except praising an anti missile defence system so they can market it abroad and get kick backs when they leave office if not before.

The ENTIRE Arab world have been doing their best to commit genocide and stated that is their goal, I have no compulsion about returning the favor. They have stated that they intend to finish what the Germans started. So I don't care anymore. They started a war genocide then they have no complaints when they get what they get one.

The only peace that the "palesitinians" want is the piece of land from the Jordan to the Med and nothing less, AND they want it to be Judenrein, nothing less. Arafat, Abbas, etal, were handed everything they wanted by Rabin and Olmert and still they refused peace with Israel. This is because "peace" is not what they are after. They want blood!!, Lots and Lots of Jewish blood. And if the cost of that Jewish blood is 10x the amount in arab blood, they have no qualms about giving it. When a murderer breaks into YOUR house with a weapon and threatens to kill your family, I would LOVE to see YOUR reaction (carrying your own weapon). Is it to negotiate with the intruder? or would you attempt to introduce him to G-d personally? When Hamas missiles begin to rain down on Texas and Arizona from across the Mexican border, I would LOVE to see the US response !

We can not use more weapons because you leftist will not let us spend more for the military. The weapons take money to buy and operate. Keeping spy planes in the air cost money. Leftist want us to spend more money on them so they can sit in coffee shops and play music while on their computers.

Everything we are doing to Gaza has not bothered them so we need to do more to catch their attention. First take out all their fuel. Then take out their electric power. Then take out their cell phone towers. The take out their government buildings. Once you get their attention then you tell them we want Shalit back. Tell them to stop rocket attacks and if they do not take out their water supply. If they still send rockets then bulldoze their houses, they can live in tents.

In Flawed analysis he said: "what this article ought to read 'Make peace now' before it is too late. " I truly don't understand this. It is like telling your son to get married to any girl now because his chances of getting married are better when he is younger than when he is older. In the end he will get divorced! You can NOT make peace from a position of weakness. We had peace with Egypt for 30 years because they understood our strength. If they thought for one minute that they could attack us and win they would have done it!!! Now is the time to show some strength and protect your citizens.

Am I missing something? We don't even know that the original attack came from Gaza, but we were quick to bomb Gaza. Hamas retaliates to Israel's bomb first, investigate later doctrine. And now we are talking about crushing Gaza for Hamas's retaliation. Get off your high horse already Israel.

before following the advice of this article, think once, twice, three times etc. before eventually starting another stupid, criminal etc. war against the gaza-strip etc. every war has/will have consequences, repercussions etc. which nobody likes/will like. this is also meant for the other side/party in this conflict.
