1. This is no way to fight a war
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (11.18.12)
Israel just sent 80 trucks loaded with food and medicine into Gaza. The people of Gaza are supporting Hamas. This is insanity. Israel should shut off the electricity and bomb the hell out of Gaza. Then Hamas will come begging for a cease fire. Stop worrying about world opinion and get the job done.
2. #1
Ross Gallen ,   Henderson, USA   (11.18.12)
The Rabbi got it right, but there is one thing he did not say. The people of Gaza are Hamas. It is foolhardy, rediculous and a denial of reality to engage in the fiction of separting Hamas from the people of Gaza.
3. Agree with Rabbi Yakov Lazaros
joanne ,   israel- south africa   (11.18.12)
May I point out that these poor helpless, victims,human sheild etc actually voted Hamas into power!!!!!!!!
4. the world opinion will eat us alive
HaifaGuy   (11.18.12)
5. It's easiest to comment from afar
Maximus Cunctator ,   Tel Aviv   (11.18.12)
May the dear Rabbi save his recommendations for himself, and let the People of Israel sort things out for themselves.
6. Really
Ari   (11.18.12)
Maybe you should do something about it instead of sitting and typing at your computer. Oh wait a second...ur in the US. Thanks for the advice on fighting a war you are no where near
7. Gaza, Hamas and the general population
sam ,   gainesville usa   (11.18.12)
Israel is not the USA and should stop acting like it is. Face the fact that we are at WAR and play by the rules of war and not diplomacy. Hurt the Gazans and you hurt Hamas. Its sad but this is the reality Worry about image later. The media will shit on us anyway.
8. Not a problem
jonny ,   norway   (11.18.12)
Fajr 5 missile is not a big deal.. Israel have all the time it need to track it and shot it down. any long range missile should not pose a threat to Israel, its an easy target to the Iron dome...
9. World opinion?
Anshel ,   Canada   (11.18.12)
The world opinion does not stop the terrorist rocket attacks by Hamas, Jihad, etc... No other civilized nations allows such terrorist acts over the years. Time came to cut out this cancer. And the hell with the world opinion. The world one day may even thank for the job well done.
10. paralysing the iron dome
observer ,   Egypt   (11.18.12)
Fajr 5, range 67-75 km, explosives 90 kg, homemade Qassam M75 rage 75 Km. Simultaneous firing of Fajr and many M75s practically paralyses the iron dome. Take care, plan for a good shelter, nice stay, harm is not wanted or intended.
11. Maybe We Should Force Them To Acknowledge Aid
meir elazar   (11.18.12)
All trucks of Humanitarian aid should be held and not allowed into Gaza until the media documents and fully transmits the facts to the world of the humanitarian we allow through to Gaza. Add the electricity that we provide and water to the list. Either show the true picture or we should immediately stop all trucks with aid, electricity, and water.
12. Take out satellite serving Gaza cell phones
Miron ,   USA   (11.18.12)
No cell phone service in Gaza until Gaza stops rockets. And if they need ambulance, drop from the air buttons to call in doctor using Israelis.
13. Wake up Tel Aviv
Ellen ,   Israel/NYC   (11.18.12)
I would have thought that with missiles directed at their city my neighbors to the South would begin to wake up and realize that the left-wing position of make nice, do nothing isn't working. What will it take? I am scared that until Iron Dome fails (and it is not 100%) the population of Tel Aviv will not get it. Hey guys--you protest to withdraw from the West Bank, you blame the settlers for all your problems ranging from security issues to social issues. If Hamas was ready to accept a pre-67 Israel, why are they shooting missiles into pre-67 Israel and targeting the "Settlement" of Tel Aviv and all the "settlements" on the South. That is NOT my terminology. Go read what they are saying to their population.
14. It's is not true that all Gazans are terrorists
Ryan ,   Netanya   (11.18.12)
I have worked side by side with several Shimon Peres peace projects. Many of the assumptions presented here are not correct. not all Gazans are in favor of Hamas. In fact if you went there under the pretenses of being a Christian (I am a Jew from the US), many will tell you first hand and very quietly that Hamas rules like the Taliban. If the average Gazan doesn't show support, they can seriously jeapordize their families well being and health. There are also many uneducated Gazans who follow like sheep, then there are many who feel they are being oppressed and when Israel is necesarrily attacking Hamas, they naturally feel they must aid in fear and anger. many are displaced from the West Bank or other countries, without their extended families. Most I have met have the same goals and wants in life as everyone on the planet.. To have work, to have a roof, clothes and to feed their families. To be with their children. To make matters worse Hamas does a lot of social positives for the people only confusing them more. Don't forget Hamas was forced upon them. When they were expelled from the West Bank. Hamas basically runs Gaza like a Mafia. Shimon Peres knows this and the IDF knows it. This is why the IDF goes to such trouble to reduce innocent casualties and provide water and electricity. The enemy here is Hamas. They are despicable, cowardly terrorist and what they do to the people there is terrible. I wish more innocents could be spared. It's heart wrenching when any innocent people are injured or lose their lives. With that being we must continue to destroy their weapons and their members. you give The average Gazan a chance to live as an Israeli in an Arab village within israel and they wouldn't think twice. I have heard this sentiment many times in person. It's a shame Hamas treats its people this way, but many Arab countries have a history of violence and murder to its own citizens. Their will be innocent casualties in Gaza, unfortunately it will have to be that way but that is the way Hamas is.
15. Hamas claims responsibility ?
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.18.12)
Hamas should claim responsibility for it's own citizens' suffering and deaths. In my opinion, Hamas are stupid and irresponsible. They are trying to wage war against one of the most advanced technological countries in the world when all they have is a piss poor country that takes food and medicine from Israel, even now.
16. Long live Iron Dome!
David ,   Rishon   (11.18.12)
There were 300 smth intercepted rocets till now. If not Iron Dome there would be casualties and huge damages. This fact helps our politics act more wisely and not to rush with ground op. long live Iron Dome.
17. #10 Observer - Good Thing our Scientist are smarter than you
meir elazar   (11.18.12)
My hamster is very worried based on your sinister announcement and sinister plans. He urinated 0.53 cc's.
18. #7 who is "we" ????? You are in Gainesville !!!!

20. Meanwhile in Haifa...
Gregg ,   Haifa IL   (11.18.12)
21. U.S Supports you
American Army Office ,   Virginia, USA   (11.18.12)
I am an Officer in the U.S Army and you should all know that we in the American Army are praying for your success!
22. the war in Israel
CYLA STERN ,   Woodmere, USA   (11.18.12)
hamas is doing what Arafat did for many years. While Arafat was making huge amount of money, his people were suffering, the same Hamas. Where is all this money they are getting from USA, Europe and from Israel. Are palestinias peoples are so stupid and don't understand what is going on.??? They have all possibility to live in piece, to go to school and their children can have the best, but they trusted the murderer Arafat and now they trust Humas. Where are those smart people? After all palestinias are our close relatives, but why they are so stupid?
23. #4
Muumimamma ,   Finland   (11.19.12)
I just want to tell you, that even the world media is against Israel, there is many people who support Israel! I will always stand with Israel! Israeli people and IDF; stay strong!!! At the end the good is going to win. Hamas = evil and only the weird people would support the evil. No one in Europe would accept a rocketfire to their cities, so why should Israel accept it? I will always support Israel, and fight terror by telling people the truth. Europeans; donĀ“t fall for Pallywood propaganda! And never ever accept terror!
24. to #1, is rabbi's fatwa mandatory?
observer ,   Egypt   (11.19.12)
25. #14
Sam Kolkin ,   Beachwood, USA   (11.19.12)
#14 thank you so much for posting. It is hard to see how creating a total humanitarian disaster in Gaza would help Israel achieve her goals.
26. Jordan is Palestine
Rina ,   Toronto   (11.20.12)
I am still 'Whoing"(Dr. Seuss) 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
