Both parties are rather stubborn with neither side willing to admit any wrong doing what so ever ... this has been a problem for a very long time and it will be a problem for a very long time ... i think the only way this is going to be sorted is by creating a palestinian state and having a third party like the UN monitoring BOTH states to keep things fair ... Obviously simply shooting at each other is getting us nowhere fast ...

They have such chutzpah to shout that they are living in a "war zone"... who started this all? Lest we forget "we will wipe Israel from the Map". Wakey wakey, we aint going no where.

you pathetic bunch of losers with nothing better to do. all you can say is occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, occupation, I have no sympathy for the arabs living there, let them now experience what residents of gush katif had to put up with, raining shells and missiles for years. Enjoy the fruits of your labour. But why the hell are we still supplying them with food? why the hell are we still supplying them with electricity? The gates are shut and closed let them remain closed, we dont want nothing to do with them. Let them drink from the sea and eat sand from sinai. We have no obligations to them WHATSOEVER. Let their beloved Egyptians supply them. and every time they shoot at us - pound them to hell.

Ynet is interviewing the wrong people. Awwww poor Gazans living under fire, yeah right, serves them right. This will continue untill the rocket fire halts completely.

The cult of death who make it their religious duty to the strange god they follow to kill any and all Jews anytime anywhere strat to cry and whine about their killlers sent to their reward ? You crys are a song to my ears. You haven't gotten what you deserve yet ,and they you will run out of tears and have no place to bury your dead What you intend. for Israel will come upon you. Israel will eventually get serious and rid the earth of more than just a dozen jihadists .

Tsk, Tsk, Tsk! Oh what a shame. It isn't fair that the Israelis are quite ineptly defending themselves. Those poor Palestinians! It just makes me want to cry....cry with laughter.

Palestinian terror gangs have always used human shields. It's just another war crime being perpetrated daily by the Palestinian terror gangs, while the silence of the world is deafening. I feel really sorry for the north Gazans, who didn't ask for lunatics to launch rockets from their villages. But as long as the Pals wage a Syrian-funded and vicious war from Gaza, Gaza will be a war zone. That won't be Israel's fault.

Yes folks, you do indeed live in a horror movie and you are both the producers and the directors and right now it looks like it will be a record breaking blockbuster, in for a long run. Wake up you bunch of impotent idiots and vomit these vermin from your midst. Do you not understand after so many years that you are on the wrong path, the wrong wavelength. Look at the other nations of the world, yesterdays "backwards" are already tomorrow's leaders, China, India, believe me when you finally wake up and come to your senses and make peace with us you will soon find out that we are your best friends in this world and not your Arab "brothers".

PUTTING CIVILIANS AS A PROTECTION FOR THEIR FIGHTERS HAS BEEN A CONSTANT STRATEGY OF THE ARABS. IT IS EVEN ILLEGAL UNDER THE GENEVA CONVENTION. Let's stop this nonsense bleeding-heart crying over people who PROTECT and VOTED at 76% for Islamic Terrorrists and 33% for secular terrorists and communists! They have been waging a missile attack campaign thaT in ANY COUNTRY would have elicited MAJOR military operations and bombing. IF THEY WANT OUR SHELLING OF EMPTY FIELDS (which at times goes astray) AND EMPTY BUILDINGS TO STOP, THEY SHOULD RIP TO PIECES THE TERRORISTS WHO LAUNCH MISSILES FROM THEIR YARDS (since in Gaza EVERYONE has a AK47!), INSTEAD OF PROTECTING THEM AS THEY HAVE DONE AS A MILITARY STRATEGY: THEY ALWAYS STOOD IN FRONT OF THEIR ARMED MEN!

The IDF spokespeople do a disservice to their cause and give Hamas a propaganda tool when they talk about "out-and-out" war and the like, suggesting that the gloves are now off. Excuse me, but that is total BS. Read your history. When the Germans wanted to take Sevastopol, they used siege cannon they nicknamed "Thor". Same in Leningrad. I'm not suggesting copying the Nazis, not at all. But until Israel strafes and bombs the funerals, with those bastards in their masks and carrying Aks, all the rest is a slap on the wrist. Tell me I'm wrong.

they have no problem letting terrorists use their neighborhood to shoot at us, but they are distraught when the jews actually fire back. they break my heart!

The picture was mislabeled.It is a 155mm howitzer and not a tank.Who is your military correspondent,ehud omelet? They get what they deserve when the shells fall on their houses and their families are blown up.This is a long time in the coming.

Interesting to hear how palestinians consider that IDF bombing is full of shrapnel. and make much damage. Are they pretending to convince the whole world that they are only shooting at Israel kassams with candys inside? They regret the animals that are beeing killed and the houses that have been dammaged, and the hunger they are going through because of the border gates that Israel has blocked. We regret our children, youngers and elders that are being assassinated by their bombers if our IDF do not keep a permanent eye on them Do not try to harm israelis. You will see that we will not harm you. Why do they beloved arab brother neighbours permanently send guns to them but send no food? Or perhaps they do send food but it is conveniently kept so that they can mantain an image of starvation?

Reading about the miseries of the palestinian people can be heartbreaking only for the people who do not follow the conflict. When asked about the reasons of the shelling and isolation behind the fence, palestinians blame only Israel. This is the easiest way seek compassion by throwing the responsibility from their Hamas government onto the Israeli "occipier" and "aggressor". Ask them, simple palestinians, if they agree to live side by side with Israel - they will answer: NO. Who gave Hamas such a widespread support during the elections, isn't that the same palestinian people? Did they expect us in Israel send them humanitarian help and roses in exchange of the Qassams and suicide bombers? I voted against Kadima, but I must admit that so far in what is concerned the latest Israeli reaction to the upscaled Qassam launchings, I totally support the actions taken by the current government and IDF.

It is so confortable to divide the world between them and us, evil and right. Beyond this childish fantasy, there are real people who are trapped in the middle of the war, who are responsible of nothing and who suffer. On both sides. Recognizing it is not criticizing Tsahal which has no other choice; it is to be human.

Mesh kul min Allah, hatha kul min antum!

Is the gaza trip a free territory where the palestinians are sovereign ? The palestinians can't decide who enter and who leave, can't decide where and when construct any building. Can't import or export. Can't live, it's the biggest jail in the world. If you want jailers, you'll have to pay a very expensice price because dahlan & Co are corrupt but they need millions of dollars to kill their brothers who fight for freedom. FREE PALESTINE

Thank you,

are the "real people who are trapped in the middle of the war" - like the palestinains? do you refer to those who voted for hamas? are they the same ones who, when polled, say they support terrorist attacks on civilians? and when there are terror attacks they dance in the streets? it's kinda hard to feel sorry for people who support and encourage terrorism.

The hell is of your own making. Israel has given you 60 years to make peace. As long as you live in your self imposed rufugee status and continue harbor thoughts of destroying Israel and capturing all that Israel has accomplished you will remain in your hell.
