1. It is obvious
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (10.31.12)
that succesive goverment's policies towards Gaza have failed. And the military option is off the table thanks to the mismanagement of Operation Cast Lead.
2. Southerners deserve normal lives
Haim ,   London   (10.31.12)
Traitor, we are in a war, if they cannot handle it move location.
3. Netanyahu..you ought to be ashamed of yourself
Al   (10.31.12)
You are a do nothing BS artist who have been riding on the coatails of your late brothers death from day one. You have done nothing to secure the people of Israel. That is your number one priority. As I have always said..you are a two time loser and should the people of Israel re-lect you then they deserve you. Obama will be re-elected in the USA..you are going to be screwed over by him, for you are weak, whiny and without resolve or purpose. Obama has already laughed you off as 'backround noise'. YOu are a disgrace.
4. This is as a result of a succession of
DT ,   TA Israel   (10.31.12)
governments and their weakness. Most recent of which is Netanyahu and Barak. Nothing will change unless a government will be tough and not just talk tough
5. Cut their Supplies
Mark G ,   Eilat/manchester   (10.31.12)
Sarah B you are 100% correct. This should now be a journalist war to get the sympathies of the worlds nations a asking them if they could live under this bombardment. Maybe then they will relent on their pro pali stance and give us some support. I had a Grad fall 50 meters from my home in Eilat. I know what it feels like.
6. We have no leaders in politics or the I.D.F.
jason white ,   afula, israel   (10.31.12)
that are willing to defend us. No one wants to strike the enemy and destroy a part of gaza. They are more afraid of the international court or what other countries think of us. The time is not for peace talks, but for hitting our enemy till they surrender. Those that bought the terrorists to our borders and armed them and those that gave gaza to ham-ass should be tried for aiding the enemy.
7. Southern Israel's Resident had it for years
Zion Warrior ,   everywhere   (10.31.12)
and Netanyahu wants to attack Iran! Well lets start of with an enemy 1 millionth size of Iran! Israelis government has failed protecting its southern borders & citizens ever since they gave up on Gush katif & turned Gaza Hamas stronghold! Enough is Enough its the time to Act harshly against enemy & wipe them forever! stop talking !
8. two things
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.31.12)
First, this is not a surprise. Zionists predicted these rocket attacks on Israeli civilians when the extreme Left imported Arafat to Gaza. Even Leftist Sharon knew this would happen when he admitted "the fate of Netzarim will be the fate of Tel Aviv" Second, advice to Ms. Biton and the other victims of extreme Left fanaticism: if you want to raise your children safe from rocket attack, move to Golan, Judea or Samaria.
9. Are you expecting politicians to stop campaigning and care??
SAD state ,   in Israel   (10.31.12)
Don't hold your breath.
10. First of all.....
Haya ,   Bat Yam   (10.31.12)
Every time a rocket comes down, Israel should publicize this world wide...the day/date/time when it happens. And show the connection between Iran and Hamas - that Iran has been supplying Hamas with weapons via Sudan. If it still doesn't stop them....then bombard the hell out of them. Let them go crying to the United Nations.
11. Thank you for highlighting our plight.
Realist ,   Eshkol   (10.31.12)
This morning after our rude awakening at 3am it took almost an hour for the children to get back to sleep. How long can this go on? During Cast Lead I prepared and sent a supply box for our Palistinian neighbours. At that time I felt that they were in the same situation as us. Now I want to lie down on our road and prevent supplies from reaching our enemies until this stops.
12. rockets
Koby ,   australia   (10.31.12)
There is good reason the Geneva Conventions state that it is illegal for an occupier to move its citizens into occupied territory, it is inherently dangerous, occupied territory is within a war zone, placing ones own civilians into a war zone is the height of irresponsibility, they are likely to get hurt.
13. move to Golan, Judea or Samaria.
Koby ,   australia   (10.31.12)
You are still going to be in occupied territory.
14. Rockets
Koby ,   Australia   (10.31.12)
You could always move back into Israel, OPT's are inherently dangerous.
15. So start shooting rockets back
Johnny ,   Ramat Gan   (10.31.12)
Its the only way they will learn
16. We send them food, water and electricity
Johnny ,   Ramat Gan   (10.31.12)
In return we get cheap rockets. Not a very good bargain.
17. There will be something drastic happening soon!
Jouko ,   Finland   (10.31.12)
18. Southern Rockets
Floriane ,   Israel   (10.31.12)
#3 you are totally right stupid government fighting to be reelected instead of taking care of us and stopping the IDF from striking and doing nothing about the Migrants who are literally eating up this Country alive
19. how much it costs
Oleh chadash ,   failed alyah   (10.31.12)
an apartment there? I suppose it's very expensive, more than Europe or UK - Israelis are crooks. Well done for you.
20. #2 - Traitors
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (10.31.12)
Apparently Israel is not in a war. A war consists of a continued military action until one side loses or surrenders. As for the citizen of the South being traitors, I'd say they're more patriotic than you are considering you're armchair quarterbacking from the comfort of Londonistan instead of supporting Israel with your citizenship. Quit being a tool.
21. Shelters suboptimal or worse
Zivron   (10.31.12)
A good community shelter for a hundred people is eminenently achievable yet the south are sacrificed for secret reasons probably money for Knesset seats or Swiss bank accounts.To weaken before the Arabs who ought be part of the Islamic califate and in egypt supported by huge oil profits reveals a lot of sinister policies.
22. I Seem To Remember . . .
emanon ,   USA   (10.31.12)
I seem to remember there was time when Israel launched an extended artillery barrage against the terrorists in Gaza and the world complained because the poor terrorists could not sleep and their children were not able to concentrate. The situation is now the terrorists are doing this to a peaceful civilian population and the world does not seem to care. Is that because the action is against Jews and that's OK? Or is it because the world is afraid of arab terrorism, so people say nothing against the terrorists?
23. Yo, Koby: It Is Gush Katif That Is Occupied
emanon ,   USA   (10.31.12)
24. you will have to move to Gaza,for a normal life
chaim.s 54st ,   brooklyn ny   (10.31.12)
citizens of Israel don't you realize by now,that this criminaly insane self hating cowardly leftist regime of Bibi and Barak,don't give a damn about the safety and the lives of it's jewish citizens, over 10,000 rockets have been fired into Israel the last 5 years,and what did this leftist regime do to stop it,answer nothing,nada,zilch,they are more worried about the safety of your murderous enemies,the children in Gaza don't have to sleep in bomb shelters,it is the jewish ones in Israel who are traumitized for life, because this traitorous government has abandoned them,would any other government in the whole world tolerate five straight years of none stop rocket attacks?
25. realities which are painful
mea   (10.31.12)
Before Cast Lead the rocket averaged 75 per day. Down to three or four. The issue is that Hamas is trying to appeared "moderate" yet they don't fully control the Salafists (sp?) and a couple of other splinter groups. Unless the Hamas apes can stop them, there will be a ground campaign to flush them out. But the reality is, 3 rockets a night seems like calm at this juncture.
