61. Ultimatum
RC ,   USA   (11.18.12)
Hamas’ leader should be given 24 hours to stop the missile firings towards Israel or he becomes a target. If Gaza’s people prefer to live like savages then take out their transformers and they can live in darkness like the Neanderthals. They will be busy spending the millions they would otherwise get for missiles to build up their infrastructure or live in misery.
62. #56 LMAO!!!!
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.18.12)
Capable - compared to whom? The RAF perhaps - but not the IAF. If you included the air forces of ALL Muslim countries in the world I would state right here and now that they would not survive a single day. Yes we are that good. The truth is that we are more capable than all of the EU nations combined as well.
63. to 56
Barney ,   USA   (11.18.12)
iran can't even keep its civilian aircraft in the air. the saudis don't want to support radical islam openly-atleast not the "royals". pakistan questionable and turkey has its own problems with syria and being sucked into the world of radical islam. most of these countries wouldn't even exist without oil. once the USA becomes energy independent which is becoming more and more of a reality their goose is cooked. hard to make a living off of blowing yourself up
64. #56
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (11.18.12)
The Turkish airforce has received advanced training by the Israeli Air Force over a period of many years.However, the IAF would seriously cripple the Turks,as shown by the IAF's competitive edge over the USAF in this country.The Saudi air force would find themselves eating a great deal of sand,if it were to assist the Egyptians.Much, if not all of Iran's air force,is composed of obsolete aircraft, and would be no match for the IAF.
65. Conditions and blockade..
Daniela ,   Panama   (11.18.12)
Can Hamas explain the hundreds of daily missiles he has with the blockade? How does he has Farjs when there is a blockade? Regarding the 5000 suicide bombres...do they expect to find 72 virgins for each one of them???
66. Israel is Still Deluting Itself
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (11.18.12)
Its obvious that someone is pulling the strings on Israel's retaliation. Rather than emulating the US/Britain and carpet bomb Gaza, to force a surrender, Israel is painstakingly hitting select targets, launching sites, terrorist teams, tunnels,underground arsenals and occasionally an admin bldg. It could level entire Pales towns and cities...and resort to assads tactics..forcing thousands to flee into Egypt, etc. It could use snipers and marksmen to kill anyone who moves. Yes, it has the advantage..tanks planes, etc., but who started this latest flare-up? Hamas is delusional..really in denial about their power and authority. But Israel needs an end game, not just anoher cease fire, which is valueless. (Abbas at the UN for a state abrogating UN242 and Oslo 1) proves their integrity. Its all about winning..and Israel still doesnt get. it. Why talk to Hamas through Egypt. Destroy Hamas, then TALK ABOUT THE CONDITONS. HAMAS realizes that it cannot defeat the IDF, when Israel is serious. Soo, cease fire, stopping the warfare, and allowing Hamas to recuperate and rearm..are their goals after each major IDF incursion. With the network of hate Israel media and countries..they still see the light at the end of their tunnel, Israel's destruction. Israel should simply warn Egypt that it fully expects the treaty to continue..or else it will act in its own interests ( to include taking back the oil fields in the Sinai, stationing tanks along theCanal, etc.). Israel still is blinded by its own naivety. The Muslim doesnt want Israel to exist, and repeat that again and again. Israel is not listening..its people getting tired, of the internal and external protests, shifting govts, bending tot thewillsofothers, and Orthodox moochers. But for what its worth, the eye must be on Iran, the real threat to its existence. Hams/Hez are irritants and can cause harm..but Iran is the real bad actor in the group.To that extent, no matter howmany nukes Isarael has, its insufficient. Its MAD, but that is how Iran wants it.
67. Truthr I served in the Turkish Military
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (11.18.12)
In fact in the Air forces as part of mandatory draft there. 1. I can assure you that Turkey will never attack Israel. 2. I dare Egypt and especially Iran to try it. It would only give Israel a good reason to flatten out the Iranian Nuclear sites and destroy the Egyptian army. But I am sure that Egyptians are not crazy. Iranians? We shall find it.
68. Hamas is the Weak Link in Iran'sPlans
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.18.12)
Isnt this just another repeat of Cast Iron? Israel had Hamas on the ropes..and backed off due to the tactic of hiding weapons in homes. Supposedly,they have figured out a way to circumvent this. But have they? They still drop leaflets. Israel has to kill any morale of Gaza residents.and force a new govt, separate or allied with a govt on theW.bank. At this rate, a cease fire will justgive Hamas time to correct its flaws.Shutting off the electricity would be excessive force by the world..and US and futile. Forcing Gazans to leave seems impossible and to where? Israel has to instill fear in the Strip. Dividing it into parts, with brigades in between might be an anwer. Let them live their lives, but dont allow arms smuggling, flotillas and Iranian meddling. Hamas.Hez are the weak links of Iran..but Israel seems not aware. A division (armor) would impede any Egyptian threat, end the smuggling, thwart any flotillas, and createa biffer adjacent to Israel's border. W/P Hams, Hez is weakened. W/o Hamas/Hez, Iran has fewer choices. In fact, having nukes, puts it in a worse situation, considering Israel is 50 years ahead. 30m Iranians will be casualties in 6 weeks according to a retired US generals report to Congress. Israel's defenses must also be improved..with no missiles able to penetrate its airspace. Iran's threats to the USA are outrageous. A few B1s can stop that quickly. and dozens of countries will keep the Straits open. Again, Hamas is the key.
69. Here's a Hamas-condition I'd accept
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
A gassed-up Jet on the tarmack, with 2 suitcases full of cash, one-way to Qatar for Hamas and its families.
70. #56 - If Iran was really smart...
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
They'd egg on Egypt and Hamas to fight Israel. Push for "Muslim unity" against Israel. When countries like Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon responds, Iran sends in their troops to those Arab nations, kicks the crap out of the troops left over, and adds more pawns to its Shia empire while they were off battling "evil Zionists". Classic ME move.
71. Zero tolerance for terrorists!
hadassa ,   australia   (11.18.12)
Right on, Dani! The anti-semites scream and yell no matter what Israel/Jews do, so a pox on all their houses!
72. bombing
ray ,   chicao,usa   (11.18.12)
hamas started it first by sending rockets to israel! I am 110 percent for israel go israel ! why don' the "palistinis leave them alone! they have more land than anyone else! leave Gods chosen people alone!
