So you are going to fulfill the second part of the Schalit deal ? Or perhaps this escalation should suffice to make you call off the rest & prepare for another Cast Lead ?

the human loss may not be high as of yet but soon you you will see rise in both human and material loss which will lead to unwanted war and god knows only what happen then

to embarrass Hamas and chatter the ceasefire. Hamas is in a corner wanting to maintain ceasefire and keeping control of Gaza. Iran uses Islamic Jihad to set the Southern front on fire.

Israel must retaliate Right Now, and the strike should be VERY HARD. The only language that these BARBARIANS understand is the FORCE of the WEAPONS. AM ISRAEL CHAI

The gangsters in Gaza really can not help themselves .All they know is hate and violence.

There is no Gilad Shalit to worry about anymore - hence Gaza has no leverage over Israel. Now is the big chance - Hit em and hit em hard!

One Gilad Shalit for 1,027 palestinians. We should trade the same ratio in missiles with them. 25,000 rockets for today's 24. WHERE IS ISRAEL ??? Give them Lieberman for PM!

weakness begets more aggro

Instead using Iron Dome which is very EXPENSIVE and INEFFICACE why do not we RETALIATE BY CUTTING THE ELECTRICITIY FOR 5 MINUTES for EVERY ROCKET they send to us ? Thus all their machines fonctioning with ELECTRICITY will be DAMAGED ! Specially WATER PUMPS when STOPPED the NEGATIVE PRESSION INSIDE THE WATER will cause the BURSTING OF WATER PIPES !

no other country would accept this escalation from a band of religious killers,its time to to take out the leadership of hamas, thats the only language these people understand.

that's disproportionate to Israel's short notice leaflets dropped on Gaza. Then, why complaining about a civilian hit?

The announcement should be clear: One more rocket, and all the prisoners in jail get their death penalty. The war should be against those murderers who still demand to be freed and certainly against those who fire at innocent civilians.

...the entire Gaza population to Jordan and annex Gaza as a permanent part of Israel.

Why did you attack us? Didn't I release a thousand of your and my brothers? I just don't understand it.

another victim of the peace process

How can they be successful in saving lives

Of course Iran is behind the escalation. They know they would not stand a chance against Israel, so they are using their terrorist proxies to do their dirty work for them. Iran is the head of the snake. Cut off the head, and the rest withers away. Worth considering.

Occupation forces pummell Gaza hospitals, kindergartens and orphanages after sweet Palestinian peace activists innocently treat illegal settlers to free fireworks show.

Retaliate Israel, retaliate well, you do play your sacreligious game of bloodlet and death well, lets have another Cast Lead oh you weary warmongers.

a few empty buildings.Pathetic.

Overwhelm them with force. Do it now. Do it hard, and do it hard. Take them all out. It is the only language they understand...

IDF used to accomplish great things. Now it is reduced to talk and negotiations that keep resulting in dead jews. They have everything to say about diplomacy and politics but accomplish nothing in their purported responsibilities. This is the sign of incompetency. Incompetent leaders promote incompetent subordinates to make themselves look good. appearances rather than accomplishment is the new IDF under Barak. All the time he is making statements, where is he now?

#1, tell your friends in Gaza to stop it.

he must be held accountable for Moshe's death.

I am so sorry for the lost of this good man. It is so tragic, and so heart breaking. My prays goes out to his family; his children that will never see him again because of the hatred of Islamic terrorist. I am so sorry. David
