1. Bomb Hamas into Submission
richard ,   boca raton fl   (11.18.12)
Israel should bomb Gaza into submission. Bomb these pitiful Muslim extremists until they cry for Allah, who will never help them.
2. Bombing media and civilians!!!
Avnet ,   Tel aviv   (11.18.12)
Wow, we've lost our humanity, our Jewishness, our sanity. This is the end for us...we've become our own terrorists. Shame on us, shame on you israel....
3. Now terrorists call themselves journalists?
Marco ,   Spain   (11.18.12)
4. Iran and Hezbollah watch closely,
(11.18.12)
YOU'RE NEXT!
5. Ceasefire? Just plain WRONG!!
Salim ,   Canada   (11.18.12)
Israel has a golden opportunity to finish off the terrorist entity which has been a thorn in its side for years. Innocent Jewish blood will be spilt if Israel does not finish off Hamas and the other terror groups that are waiting to murder the next Jewish child or pregnant mother. Bibi, please don't stop the operation until there is no longer a terrorist left standing in Gaza, and all their rockets are destroyed.
6. # 2
Eyal ,   USA Israel   (11.18.12)
Shame on you and the very people like you. It's because of you our children our dying in the south, it's because of you people there are more violence against the Jews and Israel. We have also become soft in my opinion and you have the chutzpah to speak about our humanity? They are lucky we are humane, because non of them would be breathing if we weren't. I couldn't say what they would do to us though? Islam is not humane. Shame on you.
7. #2
Yoyo ,   Los Angeles   (11.18.12)
Why don't you move to S Derot and see if you think different. A massive ground operation is what is needed and Israel will have 4 years of quiet.
8. #2 Avnet
Steven Zeluck ,   San Francisco   (11.18.12)
Calm down and have no fear. You are not going to die. The world is not coming to an end. Stop panicking.
9. Don't
David ,   New England   (11.18.12)
Every time they are about to lose they want a cease fire. I learned a long time ago that if a person keeps attacking you after you let them up, the only thing you can do is make sure they can't get up again.
10. #2 Avriel
Brian ,   Miami, USA   (11.18.12)
Ok Avriel, here's your chance. I understand a cease fire will be called to give you a few days with the leaders of Hamas. I am certain that you will convince them to stop suicide bombings; stop teaching and preaching hatred against Jews and Israel; give up their rocket launchers; put down their weapons and vow to live in peace. Avriel, it's all on you. You seem like a reasonable guy and you are probably the one that can finally talk some sense into Hamas. Don't worry - no pressure. Just the lives of millions of people at stake. Oh, and while you are at it, move out of Tel Aviv to the Negev so you can live with a constant barrage of rockets every day. May you successfully complete this mission. Members of Hamas are very reasonable and I am certain they will greet you with open arms. Good luck!! Can't wait to see you receive the Nobel Peace Prize.
11. I am seriously suggesting 4 years like that...
Jonathan   (11.18.12)
A missile for a missile. A building for a building. 12,000 missiles... 12,000 buildings. Seriously: why do we need a ceasefire? They will simply do the same thing again... Now with the Egyptian election, they will get new equipment in a week of ceasefire. Let's cut the crap. Shoot to kill terrorists. Really. The South has suffered enough. I don't care if I see fake White flags, and next week more missiles will be shot into Israel. Enough with the jokes.
12. #2 Shame on you "Avnet"
Rachel ,   USA   (11.18.12)
what are you doing in TA? you should be in Gaza or in Jordan where you came from since you don't like Israel defending itself. & by the way all this is Hamass' the terrorists fault they are the ones who are killing and tramatizing our children and families. Shame on Hamass & you - time for you to pack and get out!
13. The essence of war
GENESIS ,   JHB RSA   (11.18.12)
No war or conflict is ever over until one of the parties is completely defeated. Please look at the history of war. We have 2 recent examples namely Germany and Japan. Once this is achieved then the victor can help the looser and they can live in peace. The above 2 examples again apply. Israel has never been allowed to "Finnish a war". Hence we live with this constant threat and we have neighbors who hate us and do not want Israel to exist at all! Well we are not giving up. Tzahal must go in and totally defeat Hammas, then we can finally sit down with Fatah and negotiate a Palistinian state and our technology can help build a wonderful peace and co operation in the region. Sound like a dream ! This is the solution. As long as Hammas wants to "wipe us out" there will never be any peace. A ceasefire is only another false lull in a much wider conflict. Bibi, Benny, Shimon and Barak................Have the balls to go in and Finnish this off for once and for all! AM YISRAEL CHAI
14. # 10
RACHELLI ,   brazil, S. America   (11.18.12)
Could not have said it better myself! and as for #2 goes, you are a moron and you are the reason people are dying! Move out of your penthouse in tel aviv and move to the south with rockets constantly flying over your head!!! you and the people like you need to wake up before it is too late!! This land is ours! It was given to us by Hashem and we need to fight for it!!!!
15. i am for proportional bombing. they sent 700 rockets into ou
ralph,   (11.18.12)
Our cities we now must send 700 rockets into the center of their cities. Otherwise we will be accused and rightfully so of disproportinate bombing. Bring this ethical shit on. The shity arabs always lose. They are the most immoral people on earth.
16. Hamas
alan ,   ohio   (11.18.12)
It is time to wipe out Hamas--don not stop now. The terrorists are the run and will soon move to Egypt. Then Gaza will become a seaside resort for Israelis. And Morsi will get what he deserves-the Pals will be part of the Egyptian Arab winter.
17. Gaza
ilyse ,   usa   (11.18.12)
We need to level Gaza the way the nazi's level Warsaw!!!
18. What truce????
Moshe ,   USA   (11.18.12)
After what Gaza has done how could Bibi accept a truce? The arabs will claim they fought Israel to a standstill, and soon the missiles will fly. Eventually, Hamas will get Bio/Chem weapons, maybe even a dirty bomb. Israel needs to go in and end the threat.
19. BTW
M ,   US   (11.18.12)
What did the US do in response to 9/11? Let's see...uh..invade Iraq and Afghanistan, hang Saddam Hussein and take out his family. How many muslims died there? But the muslims learned a big lesson-don't "F" with the US.
20. #2 - no Avnet, you've just lost your mind
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
As you can tell from the numbers, civilians aren't the target of the IDF. Most of the world sees this and is relatively silent. You can't see past your nose and make accusations based on a headline. No matter. Meretz can still use people like you. Dumb, vocal, and in Tel Aviv.
21. #3 - Hamas is blocking foreigners from leaving
William ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
There are quite a few foreigners and journalists in Gaza which Hamas is forcibly blocking from leaving, and possibly using them as human shields as a way to set in motion an international outcry.
22. A waste, just like the previous Gaza & Lebanon op, unless...
PK ,   Asia   (11.18.12)
they finish the job! A premature end to this op will result in another fail and will embolden Hamass, Hez and all of the other radicals, near and far. The first objective is to destroy or at least severely degrade the armaments already in Gaza. Second, the Philadelphia route MUST be retaken and HELD, and the tunnels destroyed, in order to prevent future resupply. Anything short of these two objectives will result in a fail and a short time down the road Israel will be back to square one, if they're lucky. I do realize that this is a difficult task, given the international pressure, but it has to be done! Israel needs to suck it up, deal with the fallout and get it done. We all know it's the only way...but can/will they execute!?!
23. israel
lefty ,   queen creek usa   (11.18.12)
not enough punishment for the hate that the muslim world has for us.
24. Gaza IDF Operations
ltrail ,   United States   (11.18.12)
Israel apparently is sending the same message: "We are sending a short and simple message: There is no security for any Hamas." If you are a so-called palestinian, take charge. Put down those criminals calling themselves, "Hamas". They will destroy your dream of a soverign state; anywhere.
25. Stone Age
Moshe ,   Givataim   (11.18.12)
Bomb them into the stone age. For every rocket that they launch, let's give them 100 back, and let's add a small tipp. Only once there will be NO MORE rocket from Gaza, then let's talk.
26. #2, will you say that
give me a break! ,   Israel   (11.18.12)
When Hamas has destroyed your home, your family and your community? You don't get it. You doves are the very reason we have this problem right now. They take us for weak fools.
27. heavy bombing in gaza must go on
Yarden ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.18.12)
Only a terrible price will stop Hamas and only then, (maybe) will Palestinians and the rest of the arab world see the futility of supporting despotic and corrupt leaders! Stop blaming Israel!

Yarden ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.18.12)

29. Forgetful People
REALITY ,   ISRAEL   (11.18.12)
It would seem that some forget all to soon that the Arabs in GAZA elected HAMAS in a 'free and democratic' election. The people must be held responsible for their vote. These are not intellectual giants. Most just want to see Israel vaporized and the green flag raised over all Israel. There are very few innocent civilians. As for the children well they are the result of their parents actions. It is a terrible shame that the children have to suffer because of the stupidity of the parents. They should think about what is happening before the invite some mob a blood thirsty terrorist to store missiles in their homes next to a childs bed.
30. Over 1000 targets hit
Amy ,   off rt 40   (11.18.12)
and less than 50 casualties of any kind, combatant and civilian. מי כעמך ישראל ... כל הכבוד לצה"ל!!!!!
