One can only imagine that any country when attacked will return fire. As the Americans did when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, so the Palestinians must do in response to Israeli attacks against their territory. One day, perhaps, the Israeli "mind" will begin to comprehend that it cannot impose itself on others.

It's time for Israelis to reign in their aggressive and offensive military and put an end to this! I agree: stop it! You've killed enough!

Iron Dome was designed to target higher flying medium range, long-range missiles, not low-flying short-range. It has worked to take out short-range Qassams, mid-range grads (constantly), and has not been placed in an area where long-range missiles were targeting. Had they been, then too they would have been taken out. Speculation on how our advanced technology works just makes you look like a buffoon.

Bibi spent millions of $$$ to convince them to give up Jabri to an IDF attack, which will help Bibi in the polls, but also an opportunity to Hamas to prove themselves as leaders of the Pallys thus thwarting the Abbas UN bid. Bibi promised to aid the growth of Hamas in Hebron, Nablus, and Jenin, in return for an election win. The Muslim Brotherhood was in on the deal which was proven when they paid a visit to Gaza without fear of an attack by the IDF, which even held its fire. The testing of the IDF defenses is icing on the cake. Oooh such arrogance in the crazy Middle East.

at a lie. history shows that whenever Israel faces a war, Israelis flock back to aid the fight. nasrallah claimed the same in 2006. In reality, new immigrants from Ethiopia willingly joined the IDF and rushed towards the north.

Jordan is Palestine. Jordan was founded in 1946 two years before modern Israel on land which was a part of biblical Israel. It was supposed to be the Palestinian people's country. Why is it not enough for the Palestinian people to have a land which is four times the size of Israel. Why can a non -Muslim not enter Mecca? Why can no churches be built in Saudi Arabia? Why is an untouchable , and exclusive holy city not enough for them. Why do they need to have another religion's holiest city, Jerusalem. A city which was the Jewish people's holiest city before Islam was a religion. Why is it that it is impossible for the Militant Leaders and organisations of xenophobia like Hamas and Hezbollah to share the Middle East. Why is one hundred times the Muslim land mass to one Israel not good enough for them. Hamas is using violence to further this xenophobic and exclusive agenda. They, and other terrorist organisations in the Middle East have one goal in mind an exclusively Muslim region. Israel has no choice but to stand up and fight for its very existence. Peace will only come to the region when the bullies in the school yard learn to share. The bullies being the organizations who further this xenophobia, like Hamas. It is up to the individual Palestinian people to stand up and say we are different, we will share we want Peace, because Hamas really doesn't care about the individuals. They will destroy and mow down Palestinian individuals in their quest for power and exclusivity as readily as they try to do to the Jews. Frankly if Israel didn't exist the Palestinians would have been killed in much grater numbers by the other factions in the area warring for individual power. Because, once they achieve religious exclusivity in an area the violence doesn't stop. a.ka. Syria

Full scale retaliation now is required to end this outrage once and for all

There was so much tension in that region that this war was inevitable.

Jerusalem is not even MENTIONED in the koran. The islamic followers call it holy, just to make hell on earth!!! What abouth Spain, the Queen Rose of Islam? Islam is a cult, buildt upon violence and terror.

Tell your leaders, Hamas, to stop firing rockets & missiles at us. Tell your leaders to recognize the State of Israel is the land of the Jews. Peace will only come when you put down your weapons, stop hating us & stop trying to grab our land. Shabbat Shalom to you, too! PS. As a Pallestinian, you are fortunate to be allowed to live & work in Tel-Aviv.

Guys, this is just Gaza we are talking about... Seriously, can you imagine any conflict against Hezbollah and Iran? It would get messy. Just asking why Netanyahu would mobilize up to 75,000 reservists just for Gaza... my guess, if he is not bluffing, he prepares the country for a long and extensive war.

More than ever we see in the world just how interconnected and interdependent we are, yet do not respect this. Israel is in a prime position today to regain their original foundation of loving others as themselves (the basis on which they became a nation) and set an example for the world. Not a mutual guarantee simply to unite among themselves but to show an example for the entire world that our great interconnection and interdependence must be valued and cherished.

You haven't seen nothing yet, Grunman ! It is realy high time for you to open both of your eyes to simple facts here...Do you think Israel would keep on tolerate the unprovoked rockets shooting and keep our Nation in bunkers ? We have the full right and duty to get agressive towards Gaza's terror regime, who are intimidating and cowardly attacking our innocent civilians...If Israel wanted to, the PA territories, would be in total ruin now ...We are not agressive, but those who raise their hands to kill Us, will be destroyed...The palestinians depend on Israel for water and electricity, food, etc. and all they do in return they are trying to kill us ..You are a pathetic bafoon, Grumman....

that would be interesting.

all you say is true. why? 7th century mentality and hatred of Jews. that is the only explanation. of course, hatred of Jews is first, then Christians, then Hindus, etc. their minds are warped. it is very similar to trying to train a mule to race in the kentucky derby.

Not all 75,000 soldiers are going to Gaza. They will also be going to Israel's northern border. Give our leaders more credit will you.

You give an inch they take a mile..stand firm and wipe Hamas from the face of Gods Earth..we know what happens when you give into terrorists here..they end up in government...if they want to open the gates of hell the IDF should send as many as possible of them into it..Go Isreal

They will be welcomed up North with open arms... Prepare enough coffins for at least half of those you send up north...

if enemy shows mere intention to harm Muslims in the Holy Place, it is Muslims are mandated to kill the aiming aggressor.

What happens to Hamas if one of their rockets destroys the Dome of the Rock?

Muslims always kill, nothing new about it. They kill each other every chance they have, than the Hindus, the Buddists, and the Christians, and above all they learned in the Quaran they should kill the Jews.
