2. what keeps us from getting hurt
(07.12.14)
is staying indoors and in protected shelters. reminder that in the 2nd Lebanon war there were barely any civilian casualties in israel for the first 2 weeks. then people started getting careless, staying out to 'look at the rockets' and thinking that they're safe because 'nothing happened so far, so it's probably safe'. then the casualties started showing up.
3. Lets do some math
Dror ,   Haifa, ISRAEL!!!!   (07.12.14)
90 missiles fired so far 90*20000=1800000 One million eight hundred thousand dollars in missiles In the combined wars America fights around the world this would equal maybe 2 hours worth of spending on an average day. With 450 rockets and missiles fired from Gaza averaging 5000 USD per missile (now that they have Iranian mid and long range missiles) the amount comes to 2250000. We are beating them on cost reduction as well as interception.. GO ISRAEL ! GO IDF ! GOD BLESS THE BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OF OUR GOD GIVEN LAND ! AMEN !!!
4. Iron Dome
Harold ,   USA   (07.12.14)
In the near future each Israeli family will have an Iron Dome system for protection. No one ever thought Hamas can strike Tel Aviv and all of Israel.
5. Another one of my predictions gone bust.

6. Today is Shabbos..as I write 1000's of young
Al   (07.12.14)
soldiers are on the line ready if called upon to enter the fray. I hope and pray that this will not come to pass, however until the savages are neutralized there can never be any hope for peace and quiet. Let us pray for the wellbeing of Israel, the IDF and the holy soldiers who are committed to defending all Israelis. God Bless the IDF..God Bless our soldiers.

In the very near future you will be living in Hell with absolutely no future. In fact that is probably your feeble existence right now Guaranteed.

10. #4 actually you are wrong
(07.12.14)
All the Zionists said that eventually Hamas would strike Tel Aviv. Even the corrupt Sharon said it would happen as he planned the ethnic cleansing of Gush Katif. It was only the corrupt Leftists who said it would not happen, and only the stupid Leftists who believed them.
11. 3rd Rome called Oswentzim "necessary inconvenience", too.
Miron ,   USA   (07.12.14)
Fascism always finds excuse for own violence. In fact 3rd Rome prepared a whole fabrication machine to blame in Oswentzim USSR. They planned to win the war, and than use it. Too bad for them, they lost the war, and with it the ability to turn "minor inconvenience" into major justification to exterminate communists to the last, one at a time. Too bad they noiw limited to allegations of Stalin atrocities confined to inside of USSR. But as time advances and their atrocities multiply, while histrical documents uncover just how much communists and Stalin did to raise USSR from rubble of 1st World War and than civil war, while they drowned what countries they could in Great Depression are beginning to make it into public debate. So, they learned their lessons. In this round they use what press they can control to build the case that rocketing civilian towns is "some discomfort", executing or preparing to exterminate undesired. It doesn't matter what Geneva Convention says about rocketing towns. It matters little what rocketing of towns causes to inhabitants. And if someone still have questions, Mrs. Jennifer Psaki is ready to explain... Fascism is not a horrible crime occurred in the past. It's democracy that fails to deal with its own, who kill 100,000 Libyans with Tomahawks and allowed those who call it "improvement program" walk free.

1 + 1 = 11
13. I hope that the El Aqsa and Dome of the Rock Mosques
meir elazar   (07.13.14)
are not programmed into Iron Dome as a populated area. If HAMAS strikes a direct hit, only they are to blame. Fortunately they missed the Church of Nativity in when they launched a missile at Bethlehem. Remember that Israel protects all shrines holy to all religions and respects the rights of others. This is not true of our enemies. Just be thankful that HAMAS is not in charge of a shrine holy to your faith. Just look at what has happened to synagogues, churches, a 3000 year old Buddha, and even the Mosque of the Golden Dome in Samarra.
14. #6 Al - What is a Shaybus? I only speak proper Hebrew
