ld have been saved. Israel would have don its utmost to save lives of SSmen ,provided Berlin with el and food and "knock on the roof" of the AH bunker before bombing it. WW2 would have been prolonged had Israel anything to say.

Sounds like the IDF just broke a few more windows. Can they hit anything other than empty buildings? Even if they don't want to injure someone, how about infrastructure like radio towers, electric plants? They should have given up the idea of winning the hearts and minds of the people. We tried that in Vietnam. Didn't work. War is not philosophical, it is dirty business.

Please view your front page. On your front page this item has a photograph with the Hebrew word "Nekama" (revenge) I do NOT accept that message do you?

How humanitarian of Israel! But Hamas are stinking jackals and hyenas -- hardly human. Just bomb the hell out of the Strip, soften it up enough for the tanks to roll in. Hamas loves a high body count -- so give them one.

what good is the Iron Dome if it intercepts like 10 out of 80 or 12 out of 70 (depending on what news source you read)? the majority of rockets from Gaza are getting closer and closer to making a full tragedy and the Iron Dome causes people to run dumb to the shelters. so is it doing anything beside bolstering our low egos?

As if throwing down some bricks and clapping their hands in delight will make the terrorists stop the rockets.

Let me explain it to you. Each iron dome missile costs $70,000. The vast majority of Hamas's inaccurate missiles either far on Palestinian homes in Gaza short of the border or in unpopulated areas. Iron Dome is programmed to instantly compute the trajectory of the rocket and see if it will land in an Israeli civilian population center. If yes, it takes out the "10 out of 80 or 12 out of 70" saving both Israeli lives and five million dollars. Israel is far smarter than USA who questionably wins wars in Afghanistan but loses economically and loses too many American soldiers. We can can prosecute the war like a video game with minimal loss of lives while Gaza increasingly bears the pain. How many Israelis have been hurt or killed so far as opposed to Hamas operatives and leaders? The one place where I disagree with the leader ship is that they should not "knock on roof". They should may Hamas pay the full price.

where do you see this word on the picture? have you deamed it?

I see you got your panties all in bunch you blood thirsty pig.

Israel warns Hamas leaders to get out of their homes before bombing them. WTF is going on here? These animals must be killed. Warning them so they live to fight on is not the answer.

GEORGE GALLOWAY IS A BIT OF LISTEN GEORGE SHIT FACE DEATH TO YOU, WE SHOULD BOMB GAZA AND GET RID OF ALL THHE HAMAS, JUST LIKE EGYPT HAS AND IS DOING WITH THE MOSLEM BROTHERHOOD IN EGYPT, IF THE HAMAS SEND ANY ROCKETS INTO TEL-AVIV, THEN THAT IS CERTAINLY THE GREEN LIGHT TO FLATTEN GAZA, NO ELECTRICITY NO WATER NO NOTHING. EU OBAMA AND THE U.N ARE ALL SHISTERS, JUST GO AHEAD AND KILL THE HAMAS PIGS BY THE HUNDREDS AND ALL THE TOP MEMERS OF HAMAS. AMENAMEN AMEN LONG LIVE ISRAEL.

It should have read "Fall on Palestinian homes" not "far". Spelling checker corrections need work. But again the point is that today's war are vastly more complex than World War II and before. You have to win militarily, economically, in the media against people and countries who are blatantly anti-Semitic and blame you for everything since the ice age, politically, etc. Why do you think we have to hit every rocket if 90% far harmlessly in the desert or in Gaza. We are only interested in the 10% that would reach civilian populated areas.

For Hitler it was a secret agenda called "The Final Solution". For HAMAS it is the cornerstone of their platform and proudly featured in the HAMAS Charter. Their uncompromising position calls for the destruction of Israel and murder of all Jews/Israelis. Go see for yourself. It is public knowledge. They began the terror nearly 100 years ago and are the epicenter of world terror today. Furthermore, the Palestinian people of Gaza elected HAMAS to represent them. So they bear the blame as well. As such we have the full right to treat them just as they aspire to treat us.

you and your family in a terrorist attack. Did they warn the kids at the Dolphinarium, Mike's Place, Sbarro's, Park Hotel, Hebrew University Cafeteria, the countless buses they blew up, and on an on. If there is anything that scares them it is targeted assassinations. If Zahar is willing to sacrifice his kids in terrorist attacks, why should you feel any responsibility to protect them. They use their families and other civilians as Human Shields as they deploy weapons in schools, hospitals, and mosques. Why do you reward them for such reprehensible behavior. It is our responsibility to protect OUR citizens - not THEIRS. If the murder of Jews and Israelis is more important than their lives, they made the decision at they embrace terrorism in its worst form. Let them pay and maybe, just maybe, they will learn just as Japan learned and unconditionally surrendered in WWII.

classic arab blood chilling threats should be ignored. Israel has to destroy not only key installations and vital resources, but also destroy key people. Stop being pussies like lapid livni and herzog and peretz. This is war, not kiss my cousin. Gazans are behind hamas and just as guilty. Philadelphi should be retaken.

this time, i hope israel ignores any outside pleads to stop. Hamas wants to step into the ring. let the best man win.

Hardly. Hamas has been sowing the wind for a very long time. Now they get to reap the whirlwind. By the way, you want to get your idiomatic phrases correctly. It's "knickers in a twist," not "panties all in bunch."

This should end only when Hamas unconditionally surrenders and gives up their missiles. Any other ending will only let history repeat itself.

Larry, Iron Dome digitally maps the projected trajectory of the missiles to safe zones and danger zones. If a missile is headed for an open field, Iron Dome will leave it alone and focus on the projectiles headed for populated areas. So, it does not need to intercept every missile. Fortunately, our good friends in Gaza are not very good at aiming (so far).

Firing missiles in Gush Dan? Not smart. Hamas may ratchet up the ante, but then Israel will land on them with both feet. No "roof-knocks." No leafleting. No phone calls or loud-hailer announcements. Just a lot of dead Gazans. I mean A LOT. Take note that thus far, there have been only two calls for Israeli restraint: one from Obama (no surprise there) and one from Abbas (no one cares). If it's martyrdom Hamas wants, we will very cheerfully accommodate them. But Hamas ought to be careful what they ask for. They just may get it.

Thank you for all of the lives that you saved even if we never will know the true number. Today you have the blessings of all Israelis.

Iron Dome calculates the trajectory of an incoming missile and figures out where it is going to land. The ones that will fall in Gaza or in uninhabited fields are allowed to do just that. Since you don't know what you're babbling about, perhaps you should try not to overlook the opportunity to keep your puerile thoughts and inept play on words to yourself. Can't be all that bad a system if South Korea is desperate to purchase several ....

hmmmm, maybe tell it to the people whose houses were damaged.

Hamas uses mosques hospitals and schools to lob missile at Israel. Israel should destro any and all locations from which missiles are launhced with no exceptions.

the hamas terrorists want to apportion death to israel but they will only find death.

He's revealing what Scotsmen wear under their kilts. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Nuke them back into the stone age, where they belong. Free Gaza, Destroy Hamas

I'm meeting secretly with my dear Arab cousins and I think they are close to agreeing again to Oslo, and the Roadmap! This is splendid news and I want to share it with you, don't worry, the rockets are only hitting the people and all my elitist oligarchic cronies have already taken measures not to be affected, so nothing to worry about.
