31. Capitulation: Same ol' Song!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Hamas wins again! Israel keeps giving...and, Hamas is rewarded for its continued belligerence. The Arabs sense weakness; thus, the continuence of their war on Israel without any real threat to their existence. The vultures' hover, as the Israeli leadership kisses Obama's Kenyan behind; what a disgrace and affront to the prideful tradition of the Jewish (IDF) people, as the quintessential survivalists. May God give Israel brave leaders who have not forgotten their heritage! God bless Israel; may He protect them from their enemies, and cowardly leadership!!!
32. I feel let down by my government
Tova M. ,   Rehovot, Israel   (11.22.12)
This deal is about as bad as the one that Olmert & Livni made to end the Second Lebanon War in 2006. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. We have elected fools to be our leaders and should be ashamed.
33. something wrong here:
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (11.22.12)
"The Palestinian organizations will cease their activity from Gaza against Israel," does that include ALL the various terrorist organizations, including the ones that Hamas 'does not control"? "At the start of the operation, Israel immediately destroyed most of the terror organizations' long-range missiles," REALLY? they did not seem to have any shortage in shooting them at us? This article reflects a dream-like image of what we would like reality to be. Come on let us see just how long this BS'd truce holds: until they are able to re-arm themselves or until Clinton leaves?
34. CEASEFIRE DIDN'T LAST FOR ONE MINUTE
Netanya ,   Netanya   (11.22.12)
Ceasefire only means that Israel will let Hamas do whatever they want. While Gaza celebrated twice yesterday:Once after the tel aviv bus bombing and then again after the 'ceasefire' rockets were still coming into Israel. As I was on FB seeing all the Israelis who were reporting new sirens, the news showed the Gazan out in the streets in celebration. Bibi MUST go...everyone should vote him out, he has made Israel look weak and Hamas is reporting that Israel is scared of them and they WON. Lieberman is just as bad. This is a shame and catastrophy, and Israel will pay dearly. Capitulation is never the way!
35. #13 anon, #15 tayfun, #18 munther
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.22.12)
I suggest you look at facts, not your wishful thinking. Hamas ran to Egypt, wanting a cease fire. This happened after Israel called up the reserves. As before, they lost their biggest rockets right from the start. Their leaders didn't dare come out. Their fake PR was exposed. Now they try to act as if they won. They didn't and they know it. They are at least smarter than you, as you can't comprehend reality. #13 The hate comes from the "Pals". Nowhere does Israel say they want to kill all "Pals" When "Pals" are killed, Israelis (Jews everywhere) do not dance in the streets as Muslims do (everywhere) when Israelis are killed. They simply want to wipe out Israel, and say so. Listen!
36. #6 wrong again
kcits ,   Chicago USA   (11.22.12)
Only a fool would think blockading a place was leaving it alone. Only a fool would think assassination was a good idea and there would be no costs down the road. By blockading what you created was a ticking time bomb. By assassination you made a bad situation worse. You should have left completely. You should have walked away and taken the high road. What happened was you were dragged down to a low level.
37. To: No. 26
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.22.12)
Any country can close its borders. The reason the borders were closed in the first place is because Arabs would cross into Israel from Gaza to commit acts of terror. Egypt has closed its border with Gaza. But the Gazans don't send missiles into Egypt. WOW! Why do you suppose that is?
38. Sara B, you are sooooooo pathetic

anita ,   Finland   (11.22.12)
You sound like muslimbrotherhood
40. why Egypt?
observer ,   Egypt   (11.22.12)
because Egypt practically controls the Rafah crossing. Palestinians demanded that Rafah crossing be allocated for passing Persons and goods directly. Palestinians don't trust that Egypt can make Israel continue to keep other crossings e.g. Krem Shalom open. Palestinians believe that Israelis are not iota trusted.
41. #13
Anita ,   Finland   (11.22.12)
It looks like you dont know anything about islam
42. Lieberman disappointed again, Naftali Bennett is only option
Miracle Dog ,   Israel   (11.22.12)
43. Egypt Published the Official Terms
Mark of Lewiston ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Egypt actually posted the official terms in English which don't contain the Hamas spin of this article. The same terms were were also published in JPost in their article number 292952. They published the official Egyptian English version.
44. #8 alex
frank ,   rehovot   (11.22.12)
bunch of crap. Liberman is in it for liberman. Where has he been the whole time? Why is he aligned with Likud? Why didn't he leave if it was bad for his side? No, liberman is as bad if not worse then the rest. We need to make the sitting gov't understand that what they did was wrong. I don't care what type of pressure was put on them by the US. They don't work for the US they are supposed to work for us. But it turns out they work for their own benefits. Liberman? Really? Big mouth when he wants something, but for the people he shuts up quickly. We need strength and conviction, and not the criminal ones.....
45. this gov needs psychiatric urgent aid
michel ,   ashkelon   (11.22.12)
To facilitate their mouvements ? Are you mad or simply stupids ? It`s to reward them after their agression.It`s unbeareable, an insult to all those who suffered this days.
46. Fools - here we go with suicide bombers again
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.22.12)
47. The Blockage
Simone ,   london   (11.22.12)
What the world needs to understand is about the REASONS FOR THE BLOCKAGE. Here in Europe, for instance, seems to be that many people think Israel controls border, air and sea, for fun, or as a hobby, or just because Israelis are talented monsters in nature, and not because there is a real threat against Israel. Consequently,, the ones who think like that, can not understand that, if only Hamas, would change their political posture and aspiration of destroying Israel, Israel could be able to release the pressure to zero and then both sides could become partners for peace. And one more question is: Why does hamas want a complete open border with Israel if they hate this country?It does not make sense whatsoever!!!
48. #6 kcits - only a fool...
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.22.12)
would think that walking away from those that want to kill you, and try again and again, would solve the problem. Only a fool would think that killing someone before they kill you is the best way. Only a fool would think Hamas is not a ticking time bomb by their own choice. Only a fool...
