1. They have their victory already: in Benjamin Netanyahu!

2. Start of cease-fire condition would be hand over
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.12.14)
of murderers of the three teenage boys. That would be a very good starting point.
3. Remember that NATO bombed Kosovo 120 days without stop.
naro ,   jerusalem   (07.12.14)
Be reminded of Clinton and NATO 120 days of aerial bombings of Kosovo in 1999 to defeat Serbia. In the course of the campaign, NATO launched 2,300 missiles at 990 targets and dropped 14,000 bombs, including depleted uranium bombs and cluster munitions. Over 2,000 civilians were killed, including 88 children, and thousands more were injured. Over 200,000 ethnic Serbs were forced to leave their homeland in Kosovo. NATO airstrikes destroyed more than 300 schools, libraries, and over 20 hospitals. At least 40,000 homes were either completely eliminated or damaged and about 90 historic and architectural monuments were ruined. There were no protests from liberals or Muslims at that time because NATO was fighting on behalf of Muslims. Israel should be patient and bomb, bomb, bomb for another three months or until Hamas surrenders and its leaders walk into the Mediterranean Sea.
4. Another hudna ?
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (07.12.14)
Pray tell what does Israel get out of this? I am all for a ceasefire when Hamas cries UNCLE and the Saudis or the Qatarians pay a portion of the cost of the Israeli weapons used. Iron dome is not cheap. And we all know it is not over. Hamas WILL continue to try to anihalate Israel.
5. there is nothing to discuss
geroge   (07.12.14)
bibi lapid and livni continue with their shortsightedness and fears which are nauseating. Ehud barak's terms on the last round of allowing gazans right up to the fence and doubling maritime reach has enabled hamas tunnelling and beach forays. It was appeasemment by barak who was scared of egypt. Yaalon doesn't have that problem,. But bibi does. He talks tough but is weak and is led by n o nothing lapid and dumbkopft livni, There is nothing to discuss period but surrender terms of haniyeh and zohar. Take your time. tunnels need to be gassed.
6. Truce Deal
Maurice ,   Montreal   (07.12.14)
According to the article the proposed truce deal includes only concessions by Israel. Not a single Hamas concession is listed. For Israel to even consider such a deal Hamas would have to renounce FOR GOOD to all rocket and terrorism attacks to Israel. I don't see that proposed. Why should Israel accept this?
7. The headline would read
James ,   USA   (07.12.14)
Hamas terror groups achieve concessions by killing Israelis. World leaders praise Hamas in its brave struggle an quickly won victory. Arab nations call for the dismantling of the Israeli terror state. Netenyahu claims great victory by avoiding further hardships. Sarcasm runs rampant in Ynet comments section.
8. Barbara # 2
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (07.12.14)
Excellent point.
9. Bibi has to talk truce to keep world at bay while pounding
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.12.14)
Hamas.
10. VICTORY?
Brant ,   Hilton Head USA   (07.12.14)
Victory to Hamas was "a strike on an apartment building in Rishon L'Tzion". The sole "war criminals" in this battle, Hamas, which chooses to target only civilians; only in Israeli towns and cities that aren't what their supporters call "occupied" would see victory only in killing civilians. Taking off their face scarves and balaclavas and going toe to toe with the IDF; not so much. Standing in front of their women and children; not hiding behind them; not so much. The world's lack of understanding of the amorality of Hamas is astounding,
11. Discussion my butt!!!
Jake Stone ,   USA   (07.12.14)
Netanyahu better not quit know! The time is now...a perfect opportunity to wipe the terrorists, in Gaza, out...and, for good! Israel is in a war for its very existence. This is not a political war, but rather a religious/spiritual war that goes back to time immemorial. God's prophetical Word declares that Israel will wipe these godless Arabs out! Therefore, no mercy should be shown. No quarter asked...no quarter given. There's a good chance that Israel will, soon, be fighting on all-fronts. As God instructed Joshua: take all the land of Canaan; wipe all the inhabitants out! The land belongs to God--period! He gave its deed, in the Abrahamic Covenant, to the forefathers of Israel. Enough said! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
12. A ceasefire should only come when...
Eli Bodie ,   USA   (07.12.14)
...the terrorists are completely destroyed, and the occupied lands given back to Israel, so they can rebuild all that the Muslin Arabs have destroyed. Muslims can't build anything...they can only destroy. Just like their godless, evil koran preaches: death to all who do not submit to Islam. False Moon god; false prophet; a cult/culture of death. These godless savages need to be defeated, and every koran...unholy book burnt, and every mosque destroyed! The Temple Mount freed and cleansed of the filth and unholy edifice that currently occupies God's Holy Mount. The Temple needs to be rebuilt! God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem! Christian Zionist
13. The REALITY is that
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (07.12.14)
Israel takes more care of Gaza Civilians than Hamas Was it not Macho Mashaal the new Self Appointed Protector of all Palestinians who said just a couple of days ago that he WOULD NOT STOP even if more Gaza Civilians were killed He said 'WE WILL GO ON NO MATTER HOW MANY CASUALTIES IN GAZA? And when one of Mashaals henchmen was asked about the safety of Israeli Arabs and Palestinians in the West Bank..his infamous answer? 'Any Arabs living in Israel and the West Bank are Israeli and all Israelis are our enemies' And as for his crocodile tears about Israeli 'over reaction' EVEN BY CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATES had the rockets that were FIRED DIRECTLY and DELIBERATELY by Hamas into urban populations INCLUDING ARAB EAST JERUSALEM reached their targets its estimated UP TO 1450 people Israeli Jews Arabs Christian and East Jerusalem Palestinians might have been killed - BUT FOR the Rockets being intercepted So Mr Pillay...remember that you and others by trying to sickenly pander to Hamas and try to apportion the blame on Israel YOU are criminally letting Hamas OFF THE HOOK and emboldening Madman Mashaal even further AND PUTTING YET MORE Gaza lives at risk...YES YOU And if you are looking for War Crimes against MY Palestinian People - just look NO FURTHER THAN HAMAS and then go and ponder to yourself your gross and outrageous attempts at distorting the truth
14. keep the pressure on until they are crushed
Rafi ,   US   (07.12.14)
15. Gaza must fight, forcing IDF invasion, physical occupation
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.12.14)
...forcing Israel to become 100% responsible for Israel's Apartheid policy, economically, politically, and militarily. Palestinians must go to ICC, demand prosecution of war crimes, right of return, and war reparations for stolen native land, worth $Trillions.
16. What to expect from a country which treats its female
Berk ,   Amsterdam   (07.12.14)
citizens as donkeys? Say NO to Egypt.
17. Gaza war
Saad ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.12.14)
As long as rockets keep falling on Israel Hamas is the winner
18. Egypt and other Muslim nations
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.12.14)
should have convinced Hamas that they would be destroyed by attacking Israel. Their silence until Israel fired back is astounding. Damn, the Arabs are dumber than bricks. No wonder G-d chose the Jews !! KEEP BUILDING AND BOMBING!!!
19. # 15 or just bomb Gaza to hell a lot cheaper and more
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.12.14)
effective. Make Gaza glow in the dark for centuries. KEEP BUILDING AND BOMBING!!!
20. Ceasefire
James ,   USA   (07.12.14)
Exactly what reasons does Israel have to quit at this stage. The terrorists are still there, the smuggling of weapons continue, the ideology to kill all Jews have not been destroyed. This is not a humanatarian issue, it only benifits a few nations politcal agenda without providing security for Israeli citizens. A surrender, cease fire spells the demise of Likud and a far more right wing cabinet.
21. ceasefire
Nick ,   Israel Gaza Border   (07.12.14)
Want a ceasefire then give us your 11000 rockets to show you are serious about it, and divert the 200000 litres of fuel we let in yesterday to the hospitals. Use your tunnels to help your people not to bring in more weapons. Or go and take a running jump! Either way I don't care. We are still here!
22. 9 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.12.14)
23. This is very good news :)
Robert ,   farmington   (07.12.14)
Israel must be winning big, or otherwise the Israeli haters would not be trying to stop it. The Muslim President must be hating it, Go Israel... May the lord forever bless The State Of Israel and the children.
24. 9 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.12.14)
25. Israel ceasefire
Doc ,   South Africa   (07.12.14)
They never finish.. Why start in the first place... No will to do what has to be done... See you in 4 years ..same position... but Hamas more destructive next time. Israel has to humiliate Hamas. The need to beg israel to stop. The color of the white flag sounds appropriate. Anything less is defeat.
26. # 15 or just bomb Gaza to hell a lot cheaper and more
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.12.14)
effective. Make Gaza glow in the dark for centuries. KEEP BUILDING AND BOMBING!!!
27. Nada face book enjoy the funerals.
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.12.14)
We are!! Many, many more to come bitch! KEEP BUILDING AND BOMBING !!!!
28. no. 15 - Gaza is rapidly being vanquished, soon nothing left
(07.12.14)
29. #17, as long as Gaza is bombed to dust keep going
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.12.14)
30. Where are the calls for Syrian and Iraqi ceasfire
(07.12.14)
I would like to see the UN put a stop to the war in Syria and Iraq . I think after three years of brutal killing with over146,000 civilians the world should be outraged at the killing of innocent Arab , men women and children in Syria and now Iraq and do something about this as a priority.. The UN or any of the supporters of Palestinians in the Arab League ,or Iran , Turkey , Kuwait , Egypt , Russia , have done nothing to stop the killing in Syria with roughly half of the 146,065 deaths being civilians, including 7,796 children. Many of the Syrian victims have been poisoned by chemical weapons and poisonous gas , Isis has killed over 1700 people in Iraq and the rate of killing is over 1000 civilians per week in Iraq at its highest. 23 Iranian soldiers were killed by Isis this week . In Iraq Iraqi forces have killed over 255 civilians this week. I don't hear the calls for a ceasefire there. Is it Anti - Arab prejudice or Anti - Israel prejudice or just pro - Palestinian prejudice. The double standards are outrageous.
