31. "These weapons protected us and there is no way to stop..."
BK   (11.24.12)
What a load of crap. If they would extend a hand to peace and make Gaza and its citizens into a productive society, there WOULD BE NO NEED TO BE PROTECTED FROM ANYTHING!"
32. What did Bibi get?
John Robey ,   Austin, Texas   (11.24.12)
Six dead Israilis, a closer alliance between Egypt and Hamas, newer rebuilt tunnels, greater freedom for the residents of Gaza, worldwide, condemnation, and the loss of millions in tourism dollars.Way to go Israel.
33. to 23
Barney ,   USA   (11.24.12)
your comment too ignorant to respond to but rounding up civilians, putting them in cattle car trains and taking them to the ovens qualifies as restriction of movement. The Jews is the Nazi era would have given anything for the liberties that the arab terrorists have.
34. You're all missing the point. Are you crazy?
Andi ,   Israel   (11.24.12)
You are all falling for Hamas' propaganda that they won. Are you all crazy? You all said the same thing after the second Lebanon war that we didn't' finish Hizbollah off, and what a disaster etc etc , and Hisbollah haven't dared to fire anything since in 6 years, and Nasrallah is still in a bunker. Also the easing of restrictions on Gaza is part of a deal with Egypt. It's far more important to foster relations with them, who so far are co-operating, and are the main way Israel can stop weapon smuggling.
35. Israel spokesman is denying this,more fake boasting by hamas
jason ,   sderot israel   (11.24.12)
Just like they struck down an f 16 and rockets landed in jerusalem. But once again the media is reporting something without verification.
36. # 2 & 3..A guarantee Israel will get Bibi back...
Edithann ,   USA   (11.25.12)
Israel deserves him..too bad Bibi's not cloned..then Israel would have a Bibi forever...Israel needs a 'forever' leader... TATA
37. That's it i had enough, im going back to my shelter and not
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A / Israel   (11.25.12)
coming till this nightmare is over. Please let me know when this is finally over.
38. This is a monumental mistake.
Reuven   (11.25.12)
The terrorists view Israeli concessions, not as something to be matched with some give on their part, but as weaknesses to be exploited.
39. All gaza and obumma will now vote for bibi.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.25.12)
40. They will smuggle missiles and military eq by Sea
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.25.12)
Iran may bring their submarines for underwater operations to load some fisher boats with military equipment. I think next time Hamas shall annex West Bank from your Bibi and they will lift all blockadge. You are loser and no right to complain for concessions to Hamas
41. To #34
doctor ,   USA   (11.25.12)
it does not look like the weapon smuggling is stopped so far.
42. an anology
slon ,   palo alto,ca   (11.25.12)
When you give a dog a treat for biting someone, expect the dog to bite again.
43. Israel voters deserve labor's shelly to be their pm
jason ,   sderot israel   (11.25.12)
Enough is enough enjoy her and lapid as your military leaders. bibi is dealing with obama and morsi and obama has one more term left and the next israeli term won't end until there is another president. Then bibi could act and take down hamas but of course israel will elect leftists in power again. Israel voters who voted in sharon, olmert, livni, peretz who lost lebanon war and left gaza to iran and bibi is the bad guy when only bibi said leaving gaza would leave iran to take over.
44. Do you think the left bloc will hit weapons in sudan
jason ,   israel sderot   (11.25.12)
You will miss bibi when he is gone. Be careful what you wish for.
45. Olmert allowed massive cement and metal into gaza
jason ,   sderot israel   (11.25.12)
But blame bibi of course. Israeli electorate will vote in the left bloc same thing happened in the u.s with right wing voters staying home allowing obama to win because mccain and romney had some flaws. Voters on the right are destroying this world with their perfection tests and the media which is out to destroy right wing candidates and puts out lies non stop from hamas. I give up.
46. another bitter and embarasing defeat for Israel
CHAIM.S 54ST ,   BROOKLYN NY   (11.25.12)
of course it shouldn't come as a surprise,with a criminally insane pathetic cowardly leftist self hating government running this country,did we expect a different result? Israel has lost all the respect and fear the Arabs once had,well they actually lost their own self respect, a few thousand Hammas terrorist's fought the IDF to a virtual draw, Israel under this traitorous regime has become the punching bag and the laughing stock of the middle east. This sorry spectacle has not missed the eyes of Hezbbolah,they just saw how bombarding Israel with thousands of rockets has absolutely no consequences,they just got a green light to unleash their approximately 40,000 rockets on Israel,it is only a matter of time and they will do exactly what Hamas has done, This cowardly self hating government,has turned all of Israel into a new version of the Warsaw ghetto,where millions of jews have to hide in underground bunkers,in fear of their lives Citizens of Israel is this why you had to come back to your god given homeland? People of Israel,in the forthcoming elections,please please vomit out this cowardly self hating leftist regime
47. shame on ynet
Rachel ,   London, England   (11.25.12)
How come you dont mention anything about how the people in the south have suffered for 12 years with rockets? how come you dont mention the israeli people that died? how come you dont mention how many of those so called palestinians were terrorists? shame on you.
48. #27 Tell me more about US soldiers
shreff   (11.25.12)
in Sinai blocking missiles. Are you referring only to the Debka story? Or do you have more info?
49. Observer in egypt: Restrictions
Angry Old Jew ,   LA, US   (11.25.12)
Certainly, there were no restrictions on the death trains transporting Jews to be gased and cremated throughout the EU (Europe was united under the Germans in WWII, a regular EU!). The only absence of Nazi travel restrictions in WW!! was in Egypt which was controlled by Britain. There were certainly no restrictions on travel by Husseini the mufti of Jerusalem, He was at the Court of Hitler, Alah be praised, preaching the murder of Jews and helping to do so by raising a moslem brigade to round up the Jews for German and European Nazi's. All the arabs were pro Nazi, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq, Persia, the then called Palestinian Arabs, the Tunisians, the Lybians, the Algerians and the Moroccans. They were shut down by British Empire.
50. 38 and others
Angry Old Jew   (11.25.12)
Quit worrying about what hamas and the others claim as their victories. You can't beat them or anyone else into thinking your way. In fact if they know it annoys you they will say it louder and more often. The only way to stop that is to shut them up forever. You know what that means? move them out of there period. However, they will still claim victory and continue to arm in order to return. It takes generations, hundreds of years, to have those self styled Fakestinians to be absorbed into the rest of Arabia untill their lust is diluted by their new neigohrs and environment
51. #46, Chaim.S Brooklyn
Angry Old Jew   (11.25.12)
Bravo Chaim!
52. Funny, everybody arguing over who is worse, Olmert or Bibi
Igor   (11.25.12)
But no one asks who is better. This is very significant. Anyway, this company lost my voice.
53. We can rebuild our schools and homes etc
Salma ,   Palestine   (11.25.12)
but the "Israelis" can never rebuild their humanity.
54. # 37...You don't have to lie anymore...
Edithann ,   USA   (11.25.12)
We all know you were at the Gaza border ready to invade...Too bad you didn't get your wish...' It must have been difficult, you didn't even get a chance to kill a Palestinians up close.. Better luck next time...All that bravado and schorched earth hate-filled screeds and all you got was packing and unpacking.. TATA
55. #37 sarah b
Wanda   (11.25.12)
What do you mean by "going back to my shelter" ???? you mean that you are in Israel and not in New York ???
56. #4 - a ghetto of their own making
William ,   Israel   (11.26.12)
no weapons = no war. Keep in mind that before Hamas came to power and declared a war on Israel, they already fired 7000 rockets at Israeli civilians. And keep in mind the UN both admitted the legality and the justification for the Gaza blockade.
57. #23 - nazi Germany wasn't under rocket attack either
William ,   Israel   (11.26.12)
nor were they hit with suicide bombers by a population that wanted to replace Germany with an Islamic State. Atleast....not back in 1930s. Today is a different story.
58. #36 - remember it was Arab terrorism that brought Bibi
William ,   Israel   (11.26.12)
just wait to see who Israel votes for after the Hamas war crimes from Gaza.
59. #53 - you HAVE to rebuild the schools and homes
William ,   Israel   (11.26.12)
otherwise where will Hamas and Islamic Jihad hide their rockets and launchers?
60. hamas
mark ,   ecuador   (11.26.12)
The pallestinians need dump hamas. They are killing the children
