1. BBC says rocket fire is Islamic Jihad impressing Egypt
Sam ,   Canada   (03.13.14)
BBC says Egypt has been cracking down on Gaza who has been helping Sinai terrorists fight Egypt. Islamic Jihad wants Egypt to let up on them by showing that they are resistance fighters fighting Israel. Nice guys Islamic Jihad.
2. I'm not sure I care ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.14)
... to look too deeply into whatever did or did not motivate terrorist elements arrayed against Israel to decide to launch an intensive missile barrage. Nor do I particularly care how "measured" their actions, or the reasons they chose to use shorter-range missiles. I do not think that Israel should be in the business of helping "Palestinian" terrorists save face. Just slam them, hard. Punish them. That's the only language they understand. What I do know is that Israeli citizens did have to make their way to bomb shelters, Someone did get injured in a fall while rushing to reach a shelter. Someone could easily have suffered a heart attack; the stress of missiles falling and sirens blaring affects many people in ways not readily discernible. Nor do I think it is necessary to coordinate with Egypt in crafting a suitable Israeli response. This isn't a parlor game. These are real missiles, which can cause real damage

"I'm not sure I care to look too deeply into whatever did or did not motivate terrorist elements" Sure stay ignorant, or rather continue to be ignorant. As for your 'insightful solution' ("Just slam them, hard. Punish them.") to resolve this ongoing conflict well dear let me tell you that this approach over the decades by Israel has *not* resolved the conflict. In case you haven't noticed the peace between Jordan, Egypt and Israel was not a result of 'slamming them hard'. Isn't it time that you got a clue rather than just blowing hot air?
5. As predicted, Israel bombed neighbor during "Summit", again

If that's the case please tell us your address and let us fire a few at your house. As they say in Arabic, ente mamool chara!
9. IDF must start to demolish hamasss apartments..
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.13.14)
... As said before, 1 rocket from a terrorist = destruction of 1 hamass apartment. Then IDF, start destroying 65 hamass apartments ASAP.. This is the only language the terrorists understand. If someone get killed, its OK, they wants martyrdom and let them get it, for free...
10. As predicted, Iran inspired terrorism during "Summit", again
