31. Big Victory for the Palestinians
Joseph ,   Los Alamitos, USA   (11.22.12)
Facts: Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem were hit, Rockets kept pounding Israeli settlements until last moment, Border crossings will be opened, Israel had not guts to do a ground attack, Cornet hit tanks, Palestinian public by far better withstanding attacks than Israelis, Israelis looked terrible running for cover including leaders from by far less effective bombings, while Palestinians defying very powerful bombing attacks, Israeli leaders looked like cowards while Palestinian leaders looked more like Heroes at least in the eyes of their people. This is a very sad day for Israelis cause they no longer own the power they always had, its not only the powerful and advanced weapons you own but its who leads , fights, and the public behind you that really counts these days. Its true that the Palestinians cry for there lost ones but they are happy for them cause they are martyrs and that's why they happily celebrate while Israelis are very spoiled brats they cannot understand this and they are very very sad no matter what.
32. dilusional
steve ,   usa   (11.22.12)
As usual Arabs live in a world of dilusion. A world of lies. A world of hate just for the purpose of hating. What a sick bunch of people! It is so stupid that it makes you laugh your ass off. What a sick pathetic bunch of people. In 3000 years they are still the most primitive barbaric people on the face of the earth. My only issue is that Israel should have finished them off for good.
33. #24 Our chance to regroup, reunite, and rearm
Joe ,   Hartford   (11.22.12)
Nobody buys it sweetheart. You were defeated by the IDF this time, and will be ground into dust the next.
34. heroic jihad fighters???
steve   (11.22.12)
They are a bunch of pu__ies hiding behind women and children!
35. I see Salma has crawled out of the woodwork
Arlene ,   Israel   (11.22.12)
where was she...hiding in the sewer with the hamas govenment. Wonder if they have found a HQ, probably evicted some family thats not needed as a human shield for now. Palies now will have to dance to Egypts tune...but wont be welcome there. Jabari, you sure all the virgin are female, heard they throw a few males for you Palie gays!
36. #28 !!!!
steve   (11.22.12)
I would prefer the full length video!
37. #31 Joseph
steve   (11.22.12)
Easy for you to sit in California and be a coward. When the conflict started I returned from California to israel to kick your Arab brothers as-es. And believe me we kicked their as-es. jews respect life. Arabs do not. You use the excuse of martydom. You are an idiot. I am only sorry that we could not finish the job this time becasue you went running like rats.
38. they are correct
chaim ,   p. t. Israel   (11.22.12)
Never thought I would say it. But the Arabs writing in these tailbacks are 100% correct. We did loose and big. And no doubt now in the elections Bibi will loose and big
39. #10 IDF: Hamas will be shocked by level of damage in Gaza
observer ,   Egypt   (11.22.12)
if Hamas does, it means the damage caused by IDF raids didn't have the needed strategic impact. Success is measured by the strategic gains, not the extent of damage.
40. Steve
Joseph ,   Los Alamitos, USA   (11.22.12)
Hey Steve i feel bad for you, you sound so upset like very sore losers. We could have, we should have, you this you that. Talk is cheap. And guess who sound like an idiot! "you did not finish the job because Palestinians ran like rats" does this make sense !!!! what stopped you?
41. Egg
30odd06 ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.22.12)
Minor inconvenience like getting hit with an egg. So it's time to clean our guns, refuel our aircraft, and let the Fakis have their day. Not sure of the right order but once Assad goes down, then Hizbo, and Iran. we'll clean them up like vermin. but for now the shame is GOOD. Once this happens again, which might be sooner than everyone thinks, there'll be no watch out for Faki civilians and the de-licing of GAZA. Rak Kach.
42. Terrorists, killings - no win!
Christian ,   Suomi Finland   (11.22.12)
What win? There was no winners! But maybe some supporters of Hamas, who don't have own brains, believe that winning nonsense - and of course, if someboby really believes, it is easier to brainwash more people to take part to the next violence attacks towards Israeli civilians. #24 Salma - come back to reality - if the Israelis, Jews - really wanted, they could have wiped all Palestinians out of this planet - long time ago. Maybe you are so full of hate, you can't even understand - that Israelis are not same kind of bloodthirsty people like the Hamas members and supporters - Israel just wants to protect its citizen from terrorism! Arab and Islamic countries are maybe the most hatefull, violent and backwarded places - even those which have lot of oil money. There is plenty of refugees in Finland also - coming from violent and hatefull Islamic countries - many are even Muslims harrased by other Muslims. It is time you to change your attitudes and start to build trust - so that your own innocent children can have better future!
43. Gaza won (sadly)
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (11.22.12)
Poster 31 (Joseph) is sadly right. He just told facts. We should have done the ground attack and wipe them out totally!!! Israel should have protected its people by any means necessary. We could have finished Gaza in one day, if our leaders had not listened to the UN, USA. Also who cares about the far left and far right protests against Israel? We barely called civlians, but they'll always blame us. They don't use logics, antisemitics just hate us, and we can do anything, drop any leaflets and provide jobs for Arabs in Israel, they will never accept it. We indeed should have done what the anti-Israeli media claimed about us. Then there would be peace now. Hamas is elected in Gaza, just like Hitler was elected in Nazi Germany. So Germans deserved to be bombed, then Gaza must be bombed too. Logic: even 1 Jewish life means more to me than 1000 Arab. And it is true about every nations and parents. I'm disappointed with Netanyahu, I'm coming to Israel in January, got my documents, will make aliyah too, but he lost my vote forever.
44. Israel will have its victory when we put
jason white ,   afula, israel   (11.22.12)
bibi, ehud buraq and lieberman in prison. We should demand that they be tried for cowardice and aiding terrorism now.
45. Agents of the Devil
Christian ,   Suomi Finland   (11.22.12)
When looking at those Palestinian radicals calebrating - there is no peace coming anytime soon, that is for sure! God definitely do not support Hamas and terrorists, at least not the God - we believe in Christianity. We were not created to hate and to kill each other - but to love each other. So why and what are those people celebrating?
46. #14 Aaron Rosen, Not correct
Jake   (11.22.12)
The Gaza border with Israel was never fully closed. Hundreds of tons of humanitarian supplies passed into the Gaza strip from Israel every day. Israel will not "open the borders" one iota more than they were before the conflict started. And by the way, who is "we"?
47. #24 Salma, Israel will continue to take out the trash
Jake   (11.22.12)
While your "military leaders" hide behind women's skirts and fire at civilians. And there is still no letter "P" in Arabic.
48. #39 observer, yes, ask Mr. Jabari what he thinks.
Jake   (11.22.12)
49. #31 Israel did not close the border crossings
Jake   (11.22.12)
to humanitarian supplies. That's the only thing that will resume. Everything else will stay closed, like before.
50. Punish our enemies so they abandon the "one war" theory.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.22.12)
During the 1967 War, Egyptian radio reported, "Our valiant eages are circling Tel Aviv and pouring down their heavy fire..." Hamas has won a similar "victory" against Israel. However, Israel must stop letting our enemies off easy. Make them pay such a huge cost that they abandon the "one war" theory, that they can lose many times but Israel can only lose once. That theory is what creates all the wars.
51. Israel lost this one again...in fact they lost it big time..
Edithann ,   USA   (11.22.12)
Dosn't matter who is elected now in Israel..the outcome will be the same...Hamas has been emboldened and that can't ge denied... Don't you know you can't treat people like 'crap' forever while you steal their land? TATA.
52. mashaal
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (11.23.12)
Dear Mr.Mashaal so you won the altercation and now you and your 1.7 million uneducated gazans are still in the same predicament.One living on top of each other with hamas stepping on the poor ignorant people's throats with no future while the residents of the south of israel are sleeping at night in their beds and their kids going to school and making a future for themselves,so please tell me what have you won?I'll tell you,you'vw won another 64 years of measery for your people with over 2 million people in the same area in the near future.
53. Oh my goodness!
Irene   (11.24.12)
Israel making peace with Gaza. Israel never started the war. These Gazan arabs are simply sick with jealousy re. Israel. The Gazans know that they are only small-fry in comparison to the Israel's strength. These Gazans don't even know who they are. They are nothing more than drifters from all over the Arab world. Israel should have smacked them hard. Who was it again, that little crap ehud barak interfering as usual? Why is he hangin' around, surely he knows himself that he is a 'nothing'. I'm surprised he never interfered and suggested Paintballs, just a little stronger this time round!
54. # 18 ..... Lol panchi Usa
Moragh   (11.24.12)
I love your sense of humor!
