a truce is only to the advantage of the hamas terrorists who have been firing missiles at the dimona nuclear reactor trying to cause a nuclear catastrophe and mass murder. qatar is an enemy of Israel and should not be allowed to be part of any mediation efforts.

In fact all the Gaza population are the losers thanks to the Hamas government .

ignore the security council. 2012 cease fire terms are no good. Bibi tends to fold so yaalon and beitenu should block any attempt by bibi to stop this offensive short. Norhtern gaza has to see civilians move and them massive destruction occur. Thiss then should be repeated at other important points. Finally limited ground offensive en mass (different from that shmuck olmert who committed too few in direct assualtss which led to needless casualties) Gal on and herzog are same like olmert-weak jews who are still prepared to give up west bank. Imagine if hamas rockets were coming form ramallah. I ask israelis not to acccept this fate offered by herzog and gal on. Vote them out next election. Ignore the UN and just keep proceeding wiht yaalon's plan to sqeeze the guts out of hamas. This is happening. As for king abdullah of jordan, shut up. remember, bibi tends to fold so yaalon, liebemen, saar, katz, don't let him fold under pressure. As for kerry, the same m essage-shut up with your lousy plan with general allen which is bullshit, exactly as yaalon said. You enabled hamas by stoking expectations. Stay away from israel.

Arabs willing to sign on to a time-out to reload, NEVER an AGREEMENT on terms of a permanent ceasefire. UN unwittingly sells Israel down the drain. They are Jew-haters.

don't want a hudna. Arabs agree only to hudnas, never to a ceasefire agreement. Learn the difference, Jew-hating UN bozos! Why is UN trying to force a hudna on the poor Gazans who are kicking our ass? Sorry, gotta go... strollin' down the promenade in Tel Aviv (just pretending they're not kicking our ass, of course).

they must be publicly humiliated

Agreed. Just say no, to a truce.

Winner of what? Rockets are either falling on empty land or being intercepted by the magnificent Iron Dome. Hamas are the losers!

... Israel! Israel does not need a cease fire - Hamas does. All good Americans should URGENTLY contact their US Senators & representatives to press the Obama Admin from participating in this European perfidy... ... which is aimed solely at winning easy points with their new Muslim populations - at Israel's expense. These scumbags care nothing about Israel's well-being. They are setting up a diplomatic ambush to condemn Israel when it enters Gaza in the coming days... Heaven forbid if the Obama Admin throws Israel to the wolves on this... Pres. George W. Bush always had Israel's back - and always held back the UN hypocrites...

birdi, so we agree.

Israel should demand complete surrender of HAMAS/Gaza. Truce should never be accepted. Israel should also destroy their arsenal of rocket bombs and all offensive weaponry.

In 2 days there will be world condemnation of Israel. Bibi will throw in the towel with a brokered ceasefire. Hamas will declare a victory, get kudos from Iran and the rest of the Muslim world. They will rearm themselves and Israel and Hamas will fight again in two more years. Sound familiar?

all missile attacks on Tel Aviv. Respond smart. The UN are pros at ignoring facts and seeing what they want to see. Being misojudaics, they see everything through anti-Jewish (anti-Israel) lenses. Pay no attention to the happy crowds in Tel Aviv and other parts of Israel, shopping and strolling the promenades before and after the attack. Facts have nothing to do with the UN's appetite for Gazan "reports." Just listen to Gaza TV. So, since the Gazans have decimated us and we're on the brink of surrender to the "brave Islamic warriors of Gaza", how can the UN punish Israel for getting mauled by Gazans? Either the UN must recognize the contradictions and unreliability of Gazan reports (all those "innocent civilians," who later turn out to be invented or an occasional victim of a traffic accident or Arab-on-Arab "honor" murder, for instance) or the UN must do everything to save Israel from the utter destruction that Gazans are raining down on our heads. I wonder which way the UN will express its Jew-hatred given that choice. Interesting to see how they'll hate Jews. My guess: they'll continue to ignore the conspicuous contradictions. But at least we can turn the heat up on the UN. Of course, this isn't the first war that the Arabs have "won." They've "won" all of them so far. Ask the Egyptians, the Syrians, any Arab. We are remarkably resilient aren't we? :-)
