Rockets were fired into Israel proper from Gaza even when Israel occupied Gaza. Notwithstanding Sharon withdrew from Gaza because International Aid agency decided to stop subsidising the occupation which left Israel with an unaffordable bill.

Thank you very mutch.Mabey he (she)will understand that he(she) is missing the point where we all on focus on.!!!! I want that the people in the South can sleep in the night the same sleep like Bibi and his friends,and not for 3 days buth for ever

Reducing Gaza to rubble would leave Israel without a bill for Iron Dome and constant vigilance, though, wouldn't it?

You really cannot help yourself can you. Always have to resort to slurs and innuendo as your arguments crash down around you. You are not part of the solution, you are in fact the problem.

Would it be OK with you if we all copy the text to the BBC and each one of us send it to the Director General of BBC as well? What would be his/her email address? This way they may understand that educated viewers like us all over the world see very clearly the bias they have always expressed towards Israel. We have two BBC TV stations here in the New York area. Please advise.

Sharon surrendered Gaza to the Arab occupation because he did not want Omri and Gilad to be in jail. The cost of defending Israel from Gaza now is about four times greater than it was before the ethnic cleansing. But it is interesting that Leftists always remove context to justify their failed opinions. 1 rocket fired a year is not 80 rockets a day. A 50g warhead 5km range kassam I is not a military Grad or Katyusha battery. Getting a leg ampuated is not "just a flesh wound": that was a movie.

Palestine and the Palestinian people.

I think the "Iron Dome and Magic Wand" against real missiles but not against missiles that come from Gaza,I wished if I Laugh

Great policy.

Sure Sarah. Lets rumble! Now where do you suggest that unnecessary comma go? Be very careful, because English is not your native language-is it?

Same with zionists and their military industrial buddies, peace is not in their interest ,...

"Casualty" is more than losing your hand or receiving shrapnel. Casualty is also about the psychological impact on one's sense of vulnerability. Is anyone measuring those civilian casualties in Southern Israel?

I beg to differ. Don't even try picking a fight over someone else's English. You claim that your English is up to par but I agree with with #41, English is NOT your native language. You speak, read and write.... American. I have not come across one of you that are proficient at real English. Your comment is missing a "d" from your 5th last word. It's "advanced" my dear!! Now if you would like some English lessons I would gladly comply - free!!
