61. Netaniyahu must resign.
The South   (11.21.12)
Netaniyahu, your failure and cynical choice to only defend the center makes you a coward and unfit to lead a nation. You have abandoned the people who brought you into office. Resign, and don't run for a reelection. You are a disgrace.
62. why
Naftali ,   Modiin israel   (11.21.12)
I really don't understand this. they keep making the same mistake. all I hope for is that when Hamas ends up shooting again after one rocket Israel needs to just level the whole damn place already. send them back to the stone age no running water no electricity, enough is enough.
63. Fajr5
Mark ,   Pasadena, USA   (11.21.12)
Palestine, Now the Gazans can produce their own Fajr-5 , why not use the same technology to produce their own food. A Fajr 5 weighs 10,000 kg and is 16 meters long, not easy to conceal inside of a nursery school or playground unlike the katushas. They can build an entire arsenal of them and Israel will turn them all into dust within 20 minutes.
64. Residents on both sides want quiet, before peace.
Michael ,   California, USA   (11.21.12)
The US will deliver victory to the common people, to residents on both sides. A job will be well done once the fire ceases. A prelude to a permanent settlement of the longest protracted ongoing conflict in the world.
65. Take a deep breath ppl Hamas will be toppled after elections
Jake ,   USA   (11.21.12)
Hamas started this round, hoping to tarnish Bibi's image before elections. Well it didn't work. Bibi may not have gained points but he sure didn't lose any points. The operation should provide at least a year of quiet, meaning Gaza will be calm when Israel bombs Iran - and if not - Gaza will be invaded, and Hamas toppled.
66. Can somebody give a good answer?
KO ,   London   (11.21.12)
As much as I would have liked to see the ground offensive deliver a crushing blow to Hamas, would it be wise to spend valuable strength which may be needed against Iran?
67. Biggest mistake jews made ever
Jeff ,   uk   (11.21.12)
show weakness get destroyed is what we should learn from history. what do you think iran thinks now? I mean the idea of israel saying they will attack iran is laughable even for me and im a real red blooded zionist. next time simply hamas will prepare better or whatever the enemy is. history indeed repeats itself, israel did a injustice to its citizens
68. Hamas wins.
T. Traub ,   Boston, USA   (11.21.12)
69. Stupid stupid stupid!
Stan Goodenough ,   Ora, Israel   (11.21.12)
What is this Israel? a "gentleman's agreement?" You only serve to strengthen Hamas et al with this short-sightedness. Does Clinton hold THAT much sway over you????
70. Nr 57. Yes I am Raging against the Israeli PM !.
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.21.12)
He should be The Shepherder/Chief of State, Whos First and Foremost task is to Protect the Sheep against the Attacks by the Wolves. It is You who has everything Wrong. What effects Israel Effects the Whole World as according to the Word of HASHEM, and as you can see the wole World intervienes in Israels affairs, but you is an Atheist perhaps. And if Israel would have destroyed its Enemies, less economy would have been needed to be put into the Military and, less Israelis dead. The Israeli politicians has wasted many many opportunities, to deal the Wolves a destructive blow, a Blow that the Wolves will provoke to bee impllemented in the longer run anyhow because, Wolves cant live by themselves. The Only reason i comment your talback is because you as the naive you are, make a disgrace to the word Arn, if you knew wehat it stands for. Arn of Sweden.
71. Ovens?
Mark ,   VA, USA   (11.21.12)
BB might as well lead you back to the ovens.
72. No more iron dome rockets
Jonatan ,   Israel   (11.21.12)
Israel doesn't have enough resources at this point to stop 200 rockets a day for more than 2 weeks. We can't attack if we can't defend ourselves. It makes me sad to say it but Hamas won again. Thanks bibi.
73. Why Israel First?
Lo Tov ,   Boynton Beach, USA   (11.21.12)
Why is Israel being pressured to stop first? Oh yeah, "cycle of violence", moral equivalence, big bad Israel picking on poor little Pals again, (Out Front Erin even called it David against Goliath), Israel using excessive force, "Israel's disproportionate response", "really only pipes", "It landed in an open area, so what's the big deal?". Face it folks - this is going to go on for hundreds of years, and one side intends to kill civilians, and one side intends to kill no civilians. One side has demonstrated its motives by giving back territory, one side has demonstrated its motives by violence. Oh yeah, we expect more from Israel, and we have to excuse Hamas its incontinence pissing on Israel.
74. #71 Revolting analogy
Jonny ,   Netanya, Israel   (11.21.12)
There are less offensive ways of putting one's point across. Please think before you speak in future. I, too, am outraged by this latest turn of events. Israel it seems is handing the Palestinians victory on a silver platter.
75. Dignity- Dignity- Dignity
JennyLee   (11.22.12)
Dignity? since when did an arab have any dignity? Come to that, since when did an arab know that such a word as dignity exists?
76. # 41
Moragh   (11.22.12)
Dream on Honey ..... dream on! Nothing quite like it, huh?
