1. Considering all the facts
Mira ,   Vienna   (11.16.12)
IDF unveiled in Gaza it really was more than high time to start this offensive. Some more weeks and Israel might have faced a bitter fate.
2. So The World Know's Aid For arab/bedouins
(11.16.12)
supposed to be used for food, infrastructure, and life sustaining supplies ARE USED TO BUY drones, and Other Means To Murder Israeli's Civilian population!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This Is Who Bibi Or Any Other Israeli Prime Minister has to make consessions for Peace, How About gay kocken afin yamin and for all the advice from ban ki moon,putin and the stiff neck brits. Stick it were the sun does'nt shine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Crap - Now Hamas has to come up with new surprise for Bashir
William ,   Israel   (11.16.12)
which Mashaal promised to avenge the bombing of Yarmouk weapons factory there. Maybe an Ice Cream cake for bashir's birthday.
4. What's great about this operation in Gaza....
William ,   Israel   (11.16.12)
is not only the destruction of these capabilities....right in front of Hamas and the Iranians... but also as proof to what Israel has been alerting the world to for a while now. And to add to that, Mashaal in Sudan announced that Hamas will avenge the attack on the Yarmouk weapons factory destroyed there. That further underscores the IDF claim that it was used for Iranian weapons and UAVs, and part of a smuggling network into Gaza. Did Mashaal mean to give credibility to Israel on the intl scene, and torpedo Bashir's ability to sue Israel for violation of its sovereignty, and simultaneously underscore Hamas as a terror org and further the support for Israel in this operation? Oops.
5. This whole operation will be a waste...
PK ,   Asia   (11.17.12)
...unless Israel is able to complete the job. The problem with the prior large scale Israeli operations (Gaza and Lebanon) was that they were ended prematurely/incomplete. This was due in large part to international pressure, but also because Israeli society is unwilling to accept the fact that they will have losses...it"s simply unavoidable! As to the objectives this time around, they are twofold. First, ALL Pal military capabilities must be degraded/eliminated. Second, Israel MUST retake Philidelphia, indefinitely, in order to prevent the resupply of the Pals now degraded munitions stores. Anything short of the the above, will simply render this exercise futile. Everytime Israel fails to complete an opertion, their opponents come back stronger and deadlier next time round. Israel will simply have to learn to deal/live with the diplomatic fallout. This includes that coming from Egypt. There is no getting around this. There is no other choice!
6. War
Don ,   USA   (11.17.12)
Israel needs to wipe all the Gaza terrorist now. Don't worry about what other countries thing. Does anyone do anything about Syria murdering it's own people. If Israel does not take out Hamas, it will find itself in a huge war with 3 fronts. Next should be Egypt and Syria. Just nuke them and get it over with.
7. LONG LIVE ISREAL
Pedro ,   Brazil   (11.17.12)
LONG LIVE ISREAL
8. This came in through the TUNNELS, BOMB THEM.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.17.12)
9. When tech converges there remains bravery
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.17.12)
Hamas is not like primitive fighters of 2 years ago they show tech progress, possibly thanks to Israeli aggresiveness t to Iran who furnish all means technically to trouble Israel. In fact If Iran was not challenged and cornered in such a way Hamas would not have either long range missiles or any aerial toys. You are digging your own grave keeping Iran in a tense military mobilization ever getting ready for an attack.
10. @4 it was Yahoo passing address to Mashka where to buy
Miron ,   USA   (11.17.12)
from Morsi. They did in Jabari because dude was buying from Assad. As long as IDF is not going in with the boots Israel does not have to pay for bloodbath on World's TV screens. And that makes Hamas very nervous. Because right now they will have to pay for new cargo at Yarmook from Obama - US 3 bn / year cash grant. And they would hate it to happen. Having dead kids and having Israel to pay for the picture of dead kids of Gaza is cheaper to Hamas, profitable to Morsi, and makes no difference to Yahoo. It's you, donkey, who is paying for their arses sitting nicely with your frigging taxes.
11. A momentary victory
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.17.12)
Yes, I do acknowledge that taking out the UAV storage site was a momentary victory for the Zionists and, indeed, a strategic one. But the advantage still remains in the hands of Hamas and the Resistance against Zionism, which will eventually, and soon, win the day and the war.
12. Amazing Intelligence
Michael ,   NY NY   (11.17.12)
How Israel finds this stuff is amazing. No longer can Hamas justify the sympathy of the world by claiming to be firing harmless"bottle rockets" at Israel. They are a fully developed army in advanced stages of development. They have undertaken the strategic decision of war with Israel and are suffering the consequences.
13. I totally agree
tommy ,   manchester   (11.17.12)
Stff neck? not here, Isreal is in the right and I hope and I know Isreal will come good with all this, and not ALL us Brits are stiff necks. I wish all Isreal peace and good fortune and the AID thing is totally right all over the globe it is used for the wrong reasons and all too often falls into the wrong hands.
14. Where is Sarah B when you need her...
Avi ,   Israel   (11.17.12)
She should be here on the front line with an assault rifle getting ready to invade Gaza with a tank instead of assaulting Gaza with her loud mouth from thousands of mile away....
15. sraczek #11
Herzl ,   Columbus, Ohio, USA   (11.17.12)
Zionism is a national liberation movement of the Jewish people. Deal with it, Sraczek, or get lost.
16. Wake up already!
Moshe ,   USA   (11.17.12)
When will Israelis wake up and accept that there can be no peace with these creatures..the arabs will continue to attack, until they can obtain a weapon deadly enough to wipe out an entire Israeli city. Dismantle the terror now..in Gaza, and in Judea/Samaria.
17. #14: Stop bashing on her
dudu ,   israel   (11.17.12)
She is fighting the media and propaganda war like many other brave souls which are not in the military to support our troops with sweat and blood. Don't you dare to call on others, if you do not know them or what they have done in the past for our our country.
18. #11 - yeah, I heard the same thing in 1948
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
Yet the advantage the Arabs say they have still hasn't materialized. I guess it takes a long time for Allah to get his act together, huh?
19. #9 - Hamas received a kit and instructions
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
They're not tech savvy., They just visited the Iranian branch of Radio Shack. That puts them in the same category as an average 12 year old.
20. #12 - this level of intelligence is why Hamas executed a man
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
Hamas claimed he was a collaborator with no real evidence. It's because Israeli intelligence is so damn good. Good enough to know when a terrorist is on a motorbike and taking him out. Hamas is confused and desperate.
21. #14 - better than a Lefty apologist from down the street
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
