Obviously such terroristic tactics by the Israeli army have not worked before and won't work now or ever so whats the point of continuing to generate more hatred?
2. THE SITUATION AT THE RAFIAH CROSSING-TOTAL NEGLECT
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.05.05)
Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew, 1Dec05 The Situation at the Rafiah Crossing - Total Neglect - Yossi Yehoshua Less than a week has gone by since the Rafiah crossing was opened between Gaza and Egypt and the Israeli security establishment is extremely worried by the new reality, which was defined Wednesday by a senior security source as "total neglect." Army sources argue that because of pressure by Secretary of State Rice, the agreement had been signed too hurriedly, without providing an answer to Israeli security needs. According to the Israeli understanding of the agreement, the Israeli-Palestinian joint command center was supposed to obtain comprehensive information about whomever is passing from Gaza to Egypt and the reverse. In actuality, since the crossing has been opened, Israel only receives pictures of whomever is crossing and only eight minutes or so later information arrives about the identity of the person passing through. In that time, it is possible to go through the crossing without Israeli security authorities knowing the identity of the person. A senior member of the General Security Services remarked: "It's like watching a movie without any voice or subtitles." After raising the matter with the EU representative, it became clear that there was no common understanding. The EU's Italian general argued that he doesn't recognize a requirement to pass on data to Israel in real time. Maj.-Gen. (res.) Amos Gilad, who heads the political-military section of the Ministry of Defense, stated that the critical clause exists: "With this situation, the agreement is worthless."

5. 1 - it might not work but it won't hurt, so why not?
mike ,   usa   (12.05.05)
how can there be any more hate toward israel by palestinians? bulldozing a terrorist's house isn't going to increase hatred because you guys hate israel for much less. and why can't israel use a little palestinian logic by making supposed 'innocents' pay a price? if it is good for palestinians it's also good for israel, so don't be a hypocrite and say that israel doing this is wrong.
6. You should read between the lines......
Hiram ,   tel aviv   (12.05.05)
Whatever the "official" IDF answer to the tragic terror attack of this morning by Islamist terrorists can be, nothing says that it will be limited by what is "official". It may well be that some "official" ( and most of the time incompetent, willingly or unfortunately) from the PA establishement may have to give up office very soon..... Who knows.... Whn is the last time Jews planted a kamikaze or a bomb in a civilian place ? When is the last time Christians did the same thing ? When is the last time Islamists did it ? And they thing that this serves Palestinian interests ? If it still needed to be demonstrated , this confirms that terror organisation have no political sense. They will pay a dear price in the next 2 and 1/2 weeks...a dear price!!!
7. Al Quods ....liars before Allah !!!!
hiram ,   tel aviv   (12.05.05)
Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz instructed the Israel Defense Forces to impose a total curfew on the West Bank and to widen the scope of the military’s crackdown on the Islamic Jihad. So, it was not the Martyrs of something who did it ! Terrorists liars.....typical Islamic behavior.... Courage ? Nope....these primates are the scourge of th middle east !!! No wonder they cannot achieve anything with such an ideology....! Good Moslems ? No ...lying muderers !
8. OSLO BETRAYED ISRAEL RESULTINGIN THOUSANDS OF JEWISH VICTIMS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (12.05.05)
Oslo betrayed Israel and was conceived in great secrecy. Israelis who treasonously took part broke Israeli law forbidding meetings with terrorists. Because Oslo, Road Map, and all the agreements are made with terrorists fighting for conquest of all Israel, the agreements produce massive increases in terrorism and murder of Jews. Arab Muslim MKs, members of Israel's government, along with large numbers of Arab Muslim Israelis are openly genocidal, and support the violent overthrow of Israel. Below is part of an article from: http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=15117 Lessons of the Rabin Assassination By David Bedein FrontPageMagazine.com | September 17, 2004 "25,000 religious Israeli citizens gathered on Saturday night, September 11th in the public square of a major city in Israel chanting slogans that called for the death of Israel’s police minister and for the violent overthrow of the Israeli government. Their goal? To replace the government with one closer to their religious ideology. The most vociferous moments of incitement during that rally were telecast that evening on both major Israeli TV by newsreels on Israel’s Public Channel One and on Israel’s Commercial Channel Two. Yet there was no public outcry to indict the organizers of this event, and there was no response of senior Israel law enforcement officials in reaction to the rally. Calls placed to the Israeli police to ask if they would prosecute the organizers for incitement did not even receive the courtesy of a returned phone call. The rally on September 11th had been organized by the Israeli Islamic Movement and took place in the largest Israeli Arab city, Um El Facham..." The 9/11 jihad date against American innocents was chosen for the demonstration. Throughout more than 26,000 terrorist attacks against Israel in the last five years, and thousands of Jews maimed and murdered, the U.S. has continually demanded restraint from Israel. The U.S. and EU insist on the right of defending their citizens and defeating terrorism, but deny these same rights for Jews. When it comes to Jews, terrorism is NOT to be defeated, but richly rewarded with an Islamic state enabling conquest of TINY Israel. A major goal of global jihad. Arab Muslim Israelis and Arab countries will join in the final war against Israel's Jews. Abbas was Arafat's terrorist partner for over 40 years. Arafat explained on Jordanian TV shortly after Oslo the PLO strategy adopted in 1974: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, WE CAN GET THE ARAB NATIONS TO JOIN US FOR THE FINAL BLOW AGAINST ISRAEL." There was not a single homicide human bomb in Israel before the Oslo onslaught. All those responsible for the Road Map, Oslo and other agreements made with the PLO/Palestinian Authority terrorist organization, are guilty of horrific betrayal of Israel and owe financial compensation to the thousands of Jews maimed and murdered; victims of agreements made with terrorists.
9. to mike usa
jon ,   jerusalem   (12.05.05)
it will never work yes but surly it hurt you in us a what work on you is hurting you and the iraqui murcy is good to all if you dont be hurt please feel that to the other who cook poison tast it and you smell it and laughing you are idiot
10. Response to Nabulsi
Kate ,   London   (12.05.05)
So what would Nabusli suggest? That Israelis just sit back like lambs to the slaughter while Islamofascist animals with the support of the Palestinian general public murder as many Jews as possible? It is not hatred that drives these monsters, but bigotry, blindness, supidity, cruelty, and a religion that owes far more to the dark ages than the 21st century. The notion that we Jews could ever share a state with you is the biggest joke of all. You are exceedingly fortunate that we Jews are a very civilised people.
11. Israel, A Unique Nation
Harry ,   Detroit, USA   (12.05.05)
Countries confronting terrorists usually follow one of two policies: capitulate, as most of Europe has, or go out and destroy them, as the USA has. Israel has found the middle ground and refuses to do either. Israelis will need to finally make a choice, or continue to picked off 5 or 10 at a time.
12. Mofaz Mulls, Weighs renewal of Assinations
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.05.05)
Definition- Mofaz MULLS - This saying means that Israel cannot get permission form Washington to be released from RESTRAINT so all Israel can do is attack empty buildings and possibly the home of the suicide bomber ,but Mofaz is still waiting for permission form Washington to do this. WEIGHING RENEWAL OF ASSASINATIONS - Israel must again get permission ,but the most that can be expected from Washington is permission to attack empty fields and maybe, just maybe one low ranking hamas operative . But in exchage for this Israel must release 100 terrorists from prison and surrender more 'settlments' to the Palestinians. MOFAZ say's Good deal Mr. Bush, Yes ,yes Condi ,we will obey religiously. . Israel's leaders are too weak to stand up and say enough of the madness
13. 1/2 measures = 1/2 population dead
Reality Check ,   USA   (12.05.05)
CURFEWS????!!!!! Last time I looked all wars were won by killing the enemy before he kills you. Forget about deterrents, you've given the enemy enough warnings. Forget about limited measures and EU sensibilities. Myron has it right like most Americans, 48 hours to evacuate and Jenin burns like Faluja. War is an atrocity. The only way we will win the terrorists challenge is to out-atrocity the enemy, who has no morals by our standards. Can you stand the heat of rhetoric that it "makes us like them", we must "try to understand them", etc ad nauseum, or would you rather push the button and send them to h*ll instead of yourself? Hint: you'll have plenty of years to recover or repent after the enemy is eliminated.
14. BY DESTROYING EMPTY BUILDINGS
(12.05.05)
15. To Kate
Palestine ,   Palestine   (12.05.05)
The Jewish Are civilized!? Kate, go and see the seperation wall, the Bypass roads, the settelements build on Arab land, the daily Humilation of your hero army to regular poor women and children everyday on Checkpoints, the continuation of this army with tanks and Apatchi everyday in the occupied territory, the daily killing of palesetians who labeled terrorist by your army, and when only one incident happen every months that Jewes will be killed then you wake up and think it was because of no reason.
16. To mary, ireland...
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (12.05.05)
Nice words. Couldn't agree with you more. If only the Holocaust didn't happen then Jews wouldn't feel guilty about wiping these people out and reclaiming our rightful land - just like any other country has done in the history of the world.
17. In response!
Jack Eisner ,   United States   (12.05.05)
Not only should the military destroy the homes of the terrorists but the houses of all their clan. Also, remove all their family out of West Bank -- drop them off with their kin in Lebanon.
18. #9 watch it! after iraq maybe usa should fix gaza/west bank
mike ,   usa   (12.05.05)
and that would solve most of the world's problems.
19. to mike#5,18
george younis ,   Aurora, IL   (12.05.05)
mike you are a full fledge hater of Palestinians. Solving the world's problems is when the USA finishes Israeli occupation of West Bank and its coming soon , mike read history carefully and for God"s sake get out of your religious freakness and blinded support of zionism think rationally and look for the truth.
20. Assassination policy announced too soon
accessol ,   Spelthorne, England   (12.05.05)
Very strange, Israel's "response" to the Natanya attack with a return to targetted assassination was featured on your website before the Natanya attack itselof took place; could it be that the IDF orchestrated the whole affair or then perhaps the "response" was from the Palestinian side to the Israeli decision to resume its murderous policy. Either way, as always, the IDF is lying.
21. We will not sit on our hands and do nothing
(12.05.05)
while people die. We will take the fight to them, we will find them, and we will kill them.
22. accessol #20 you assassinate people everyday in
(12.05.05)
iraq and afghanistan with 5 ton bombs we can do the same whats good for the goose eh?
23. IDF response
Chrisona ,   Chicago.IL   (12.05.05)
Is the IDF still worried about responding to terrorist attacks in an overagressive way?
24. 19 george
mike ,   usa   (12.05.05)
i have read history carefully and listened closely to my arab israeli wife and have rationally come to the truth. i suggest you take your own advice and not automatically subscribe to the universal hate of israel, if that is possible.
25. Gaza Crossings
chinko ,   Montreal Canada   (12.05.05)
Because Israel has opened the Gaza crossings to the terrorists, soon Scuds smuggled from Egypt will be falling on the oil refineries.Then we will really see what the Sharon/ Rice giveaway deal means to Israel.
26. I am flipping out
Jordi Gomis ,   Barcelona, Catalunya   (12.05.05)
...really. Someone talking about winning in atrocity...what's wrong with you guy? would you be up to go as far as the germans in WWII in atrocity? where's the limit in atrocity? ...and worst...if u can match someone in atrocity, you're not better than them, and you justify them, you justify all terrorism,...you tell them..."hey guys, the champ of atrocity will win"...and believe me, i hope, i believe it's hard to match al-qaida atrocity...a war in atrocity is a lost war, even if you win. Those saying USA's defeating terrorism in iraq....when? do you live in this planet? iraq is a million times more dangerous for the world now than with saddam (who once was one of america's best friends in the middle east). So, a war on atrocity...don't think we can match them...I don't want to think we can match them...don't want to be like them...still want to be human. On the palestinian hard core side...what the hell is your problem? you really think you're the most repressed people in the world? tell me any other people rather than muslims doing what you do in order to achieve it's goals...just one!!! in history...tell me just one time that it succeeded? are you incapable of evoluting? many countries reached independency thru pacific means (it means respecting the life of humans)...i don't even remember anyone in europe during the WWII (jews, gays, gipsies, comunists...) doing what you do...and believe me, they had a bunch of reasons to be forced to do that...so guys, you can show the world that arabs are stupid dangerous people, with a simple mind focused on a sadic god, well, someone not to trust in....or you can open your eyes and start behaving in a civilizated way...instead of trying to match the other in atrocity, we should try to beat it in humanity. Peace for isreal
27. Harry, Europe hasn't capitulated ,yet
AK   (12.06.05)
No should Israel. Europe has no qualms about using force, when it is in their interest, nor should Israel have any. The problem is that idiotic propaganda bit that you cannot beat terror with force, which somehow got currency, first in the press and then spread generally, even though there are no facts to support it. Israelis are being told not to defend themselves, and for some strange reason they're buying into it. So the govt and the military are using half measures to contain terror, rather than eradicate it. It could well be that the Israeli govt is under severe pressure ,or rather threats from outside to limit its responses, but in the end, it is the Israeli public who pays with their lives for this policy.
28. Lies
M Jordan ,   NY   (12.06.05)
Qoute" Israel shelved its house demolition policy in February, when Mofaz approved recommendations by then Chief of General Staff Moshe Yaalon to cease the demolition of houses belonging to suicide bombers as a deterrence strategy." *** This is pullshit, I srael is cotinuing this policy till last week. Human right reports showed that this policy (house demolition)never shelfed and Israel continues this policy with/without Natania attack....
29. Netanya bombing.
John ,   Australia   (12.06.05)
One way to stop suicide bombings is to execute the same number of most dangerous terrorists in Israeli jails as the number of victims and if you hang them they won't go to "paradise".
30. Nabulsi - You Think for Once!
Miri ,   Israel   (12.06.05)
Let's put your hatred for us aside for just one teeny moment. Do you really think that as long as terrorists are supported and thrive in your neighbourhoods that the US will support your desire for statehood. Get a grip on yourself! If all you want is to continue to murder Israelis you can kiss your goodbye.
