3. IDF Deterred! Truce beggar Netenyahu's charisma tarnished
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.20.12)
What if Hizbullah joins the party and you were under barrage of rockets both from Gaza and Lebanon? What further happen if a big arab country were also to wage war? Netenyahu, Truce-beggar, could not even confront Hamas in Gaza. Netenyahu cannot enter gaza because he knows there will be massive losses to IDF ground troops. Hamas better armed and luring and forcing Israel ground operation just to beat IDF in ground! This time will
4. Our leaders do not deserve to lead.
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.20.12)
Back where we are in a few months time with Hamas beautifully rearmed and equipped. No doubt Barak would like this- his failures come one after another.
5. Israel was defeated ,no question about it
ab   (11.20.12)
Hamas is rewarded by opening crossings to the "sovereign" State they don't recognize.
6. With a cowardly government like that
Mira ,   Vienna   (11.20.12)
Israel is doomed. You will pay for it in January, Bibi this is your last term as the most ineffective leader of Israel.

11. Lull? We outta bombs? No no no.
Ilan ,   Be'er Sheva Israel   (11.20.12)
We in HaDarom have suffered but we can take it. We need to hit Hamas NOW when THEY are looking for a pause!!!! Bibi NO NO NO! Remember, we VOTE down here!
12. Why wait until January?
Moragh   (11.20.12)
send Bibi packing now. He's a miserable scare-crow. As far as I'm concerned, he's gone right down the drain! p.s. please don't forget to send his pal overfed Barak with him.
13. They blew it
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.12)
The facts: we know the world can't stand to see Jews safe and successful. we know that after a week the world will protect the evil, Israel is trying to eradicate. we know if you don't go in immediately, kill anything that moves, and finish the job. It will never happen.
14. look wants wants to go to war with Iran
dovdevan ,   ashdod,paris   (11.20.12)
our leader are incapable of fighting hamas in gaza they want to strike iran ? bibi a big coward what matter to him more is the next election he doesn't care about people of the south
15. #6 what is alternative?
(11.20.12)
Netanyahu is a disaster in failing to fight Hamas, but what choice do we have? Yehimovitch, Lapid, Olmert and Livni are all on record as supporting Hamas. Netanyahu failed in disarming Hamas, but the alternatives are the ones who gave Hamas the rockets.
16. Managing to pull defeat out of the jaws of victory
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (11.20.12)
So what will have been gained? Nothing, and the removal of the blockade and opening of crossings so that even more weapons can be smuggled in and we can start again in a couple of months? If you go this far, you should finish the job. This cancer should have been cut out by now. If we can't rely on Bibi, who will do it properly? Is this going to mean more votes for the nationalist parties, and dilution of the Likud / YB vote?
17. Dont give up Israel ! (parasha of the week)
Chana ,   Europe   (11.20.12)
b"h And behold, the Lord was standing over him, and He said, "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac; the land upon which you are lying to you I will give it and to your seed. And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and you shall gain strength westward and eastward and northward and southward; and through you shall be blessed all the families of the earth and through your seed. And behold, I am with you, and I will guard you wherever you go, and I will restore you to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I have spoken concerning you."
18. NOOOOOOOO!
Lila ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.20.12)
Don't they realize that if we don't eliminate the rockets and missles then it will just start again?! Lull? Let them all go on a vacation somewhere if they want a lull - our citizens in the South have suffered WAY too long for them to stop now!
19. thought you want to destroy hamas !!
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.20.12)
good , give us another chance to bring more weapons to the next war, be ready :)
20. Israeli leadership: FOOLS!!!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.20.12)
Without determined will, a clear and defined goal...one will always fail! The Israeli people deserve better than half-hearted attempts governed by inept futility. Now, more than ever, Israel needs to stay strong...to stay the course...to destroy the enemy with calculated, determined resolve. Despite what many fools say...this war CAN be won (totally and completely)! Praying Israel's leaders' do not waver! God bless, Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
21. lull??
alfredo ,   philippines   (11.20.12)

22. #3: sorry... ISRAEL WON BIG... Gaza is in shambles again
Rafi ,   US   (11.20.12)
... Loss of most of Hamas' best weapons & missiles. Over 100 dead vs. minimal Israeli losses... explain how Hamas is any better off...
