2. Games are over. Serious matters start.
Caroline ,   Israel`   (04.08.06)
Palestinians got used that after Qassam attacks Israel would fire at some abandoned locations with no casualties and this gave them more appetite. Launchings became more frequent and long-distanced. But Israel is now showing that we are ready to deal with the terrorists the most serious manner, no matter how the palestinians will present our reaction: killings, asassinations, whatever. Good work, IDF!

8. oH! other assassinations coming
Rupert ,   London   (04.08.06)
civilised vs uncivilised (barbarian) behaviour Israel has a right to exist on paper. but Israel endangers its underlying MORAL right to exist by acting the barbarian. second point: a right to exist is separate. does it give a right to steal land - then to deny that theft? of course not. so, you should not talk too loud about israel's rights

11. This is war.
john ,   tampa   (04.08.06)
The palestinians who were killed aren't terrorists and they were not assassinated. This is war.
12. The Pragmatic Plan of Mr Hanniyeh
Hiram Al Masry ,   Tel Aviv   (04.08.06)
SHould have start ed by instructing QASSAM launchers to stop launching. But the QASAM launchers of Mr Hanniyeh , who claims that he wants to control security agencies, were not told to stop launching QASSAMS. Therefore, IDF took the matter in their own hand. IDF Gets results. Mr Hanniyeh does not ..... Is Mr Hanniyeh really trying ?
13. To John #11
Josh ,   Jerusalem   (04.08.06)
Please tell me why you think that people who shoot rockets at other innocent people's homes are not terrorists. And tell me why you think that the IDF blowing up their car is not an assassination. I just can't figure out your thought process. But you got one thing right, this is war. It has been for 58 years.
14. 11john, tampa: Suicide Bombers are terrorists !!!!
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.08.06)
A terrorist (wordreferencence.com) is one "who employs terror as a political weapon; usually organizes with other terrorists in small cells; often uses religion as a cover for terrorist activities " and who " employs terrorism " .

The time has come to FREE THE SOVEREIGN STATE OF NORTHERN IRELAND held hostage by the british barbarians!
16. reply to #8 (Rupert)
sk ,   USA   (04.08.06)
As I said in an email to your PM, England is anti-Semitic at all levels of society. France has no love of Jews, but in fairness, most of the problem there comes from the Moslems. There is nothing "civilized" about allowing barbarians to destoy one's civilization and kill one's people. And as for theft, does a Yankee have to lecture you on the BRITISH MANDATE? Israel's borders are from the Med to the Jordan. One cannot "steal" land that is already one's own. In truth, when I talk to a brit, I often think especially fondly about the Revolutionary War.
17. Hey Rupert, I don't think England has a moral basis
Dan ,   USA   (04.08.06)
to exist. After all in response to random rocket attacks from Germany you guys wiped out the entire city of Dresden. Where was the justice in that. Ok, ok we Americans participated in that too, but I am not being a pompous, overbearing, hypocritical moralist like you are.
18. 16 sk, USA: well said may be Rupert should remember The
Gabrielle Goldwater ,   Geneva Switzerland   (04.08.06)
Boston Tea Party ... and come to think May be it's time The Brits get out of Ireland ... or even Gibraltar Where ever the Brits used their pencils in trying to draw lines of history they failed drastically
19. Quassams - Nothing less than an act of war
Timothy - Swindon ,   UK   (04.08.06)
These persistent attacks CANNOT go unchallenged. Neither the continuing attempts at terrorism Hamas are in charge now and they have to stand up and be counted. They are fully responsible for these acts and the inevitable consequences. No more excuses no passing the buck or finding others to blame. They cannot wring their hands - or hold their hands up and say 'Its not me guv - its those poor young boys who are out of control'. Well its time they did take control. They are the elected leadership and are answerable to their public for all the retaliatory damage justifiably inflicted in response. Hamas can achieve far more by talking rather than terrorism. By stopping all violence and recognising Israels right to exist - not necessarily its borders Hamas would have gained the initiative and restored credibility.
20. To Rupert from #8
Caligula's Horse ,   Solomon's Stables   (04.08.06)
British hypocrits have no moral high ground whatsoever to lecture anyone about occupation and such, because the nation of Israel cannot, by definition be an occupier in its own land, the land of Israel. Also mr. Rupert, as for your own country, being a former superpower who together with France and other few European states enslaved, ethnicly cleansed and genocided entier nations and conquered lands from Africa to Asia, and since you still maintain "Illegal settlements" yourself in various places around the world, you have no right to preach anyone about occupation, at least until you do the following : Evacuate Bermuda islands illegal settlement. Evacuate Virgin islands illegal settlement. Evacuate Folkland islands illegal settlement. Evacuate Gibraltar illegal settlement. Evacuate Saint Helena illegal settlement. There are probably more, but I couldnt bother.
21. our Martyers....palestinians are Gods of Reveloution

getting rid of terrorists is humanitarian not barbarians britain occupied quite rightly nazi germany therefore israel occupies nazi fascist palestine
24. The Israeli Air Force Strikes
Shimon Z. Klein ,   Bat Chefer, Israel   (04.09.06)
It is incredible that the terrorist allies of Hamas, responsible for the firing of Qassam rockets into the areas around Ashkelon,believe that they will not evoke a response from the Israeli Air Force! The Palestinian terrorists provoke Israel into reacting against their Qassams and mortar fire. When the reaction occurs they squeal like spoilt children and cry over their dead "shahids". They cry when innocent Palestinians are hit by the crossfire. Innocent Israelis are also hit by Palestinian terror no less. This would cease if the Palestinian terror groups would come to their senses and cease provoking Israel. What do they have to gain by sending Qassam rockets into Israel? Would it not be better to come to terms with Israel's existence and negotiate a peace settlement?
25. killing brings more killing
ibrahim ,   israel   (04.09.06)
PLEASE STOP- it is insane. The more you kill them, the more you get killed. Have you not had enough and sick of this. You rejoice over killing now and then what !!
