The only way to achieve deterence is to re-think who is running Israel. Not the shmegegees that think they run Israel - and call themselves this administration or that administration. How many administrations have come and gone and still haven't achieved deterence or some semblence of normalicy! Why not come to the real conclusion - you might think you are in control but, you really ain't in control. Only HaKodosh Boruch Hu is in control. Make no mistake, He runs the show. All that these administrations have shown is how utterly powerless they are to really achieve anything that lasts!

So lets help them to die. Kamal # 17 YNET always knows who is an imposter usung someone elses name to post a message. So why is it they go along with a fake poster using my name ? It is about Gilad and the political wimps who let him stay in terrorist hands for so long. I guess i must be getting under the skin of the appeasers ,the Palestinian terrorists and their Jewsih buddies on the left, GOOD !

Because they are fighting for power, not freedom, and they are fighting to take away the freedom of others. If there had been a half century of peace between Palestinians & Israelis, the border would seem as nothing, instead there is a defensive wall that the Israeli's were forced to build. Palestinians could have chosen the path of peace, but chose the path of war, and continue to move further down the war path. Inevitably, Palestinians will lose everything. They should stop while they still have the most important thing of all, their health. Release Gilad. End terror. Stop attacking your Israeli neighbors so that the border can eventually be open and free and so that all Israelis and Palestinians can move freely throughout their MUTUAL historic homelands.

Your nice genlte people have kiddnapped thousands of Palestinians from their homes and U guys are wiping for only one terrorist solider who was 100% ready to kill more Palestinians.This Shalit has not been kidnapped, he is a criminal war prisoner who was there to kill more Palestinians. Any kiddnaped Palestinian is more apprecialble than your war prisoner...Wake up and give back the right to the humiliated people, without a compromise U guys would be the loosers. The Palestinians are getting used to your aggression so it does not make a big diffrence for them.Olmert won't be worse than Sharon who had depleted all his crminal mentality to kill the Palestinians.

would be rolling in his grave... this is so pathetic... israel is run by cowering ghetto jews, living in fear of taking any action in self defense... OLMERT = NO SOLUTION

We should start negotiation immediatly with Plastenian.

This may be news to you, but Haifa is recognized as an Israeli city by the overwhelming majority of UN members, including several Arab countries. It is sad that you are living in an alternate reality.

Why is it so many like yourself are troubled when we write out opinion from a location other than Israel and yet you go along with a superpower leader who from the same location dissects Israel as a gift to the Islamic hordes of hell / Isn't this insane on your part ? I'm only talking and this cowboy is getting your fellow Jews thrown out of their homes and lnad for another of his failed plans which only leads to war and destruction. Look at his success in Iraq and Afghanistan and that's what you also have in Israel. Wake up and stop the Road Map before it's too late.

PLEASE STOP POSTING, YOUR RAMBLINGS ARE NOT APPRECIATED OR RESPECTED. IT IS ONE THING TO POST A STUPID THOUGHT ONCE, IT IS ANOTHER TO HAVE POSTED STUPID THINGS EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU MAKE A POST.

The pali-problem has nothing to do with the Jews. Any society that despises the authority of their own government is just a land full of mafias, arab style.. not to mention the respect for your sisters and daughters displayed by your practice of Honor-Killing... Don't get me started on Allah and his Profit.

Peace between the US and the Moslem world died on 9/11. Who said one word about peace: the Thousand Years War started in 2001.

Does he think he can regain his son on the backs of every other Israeli in the country? I feel deeply for him and pray his son is returned to him alive, but we cannot harm the cause of the many for the one. We must strive to bring him back, but we can't return to the precedent of giving them what they want in exchange of prisoners, either, as all that does is motivate them to take more prisioners. Jabotinski was right - deterence comes from meeting pressure with (greater) pressure. Its cold, but its also the right choice.

Every attack, every little think they do out of line; annex a square mile of land in the West Bank until they are living in cantons. As an interim measure.

I stongly support the state of Israel to use every medium possible to defend its territorial integrity against any unwarranted aggression from all its hostile neighbours.Enough is Enough from all these islamic fundamentalist who see nothing wrong in shedding innocent lives.Afterall the religion of ISLAM preaches PEACE.How come their stand negates the religion they profess to defend? This is a food for thought.

I will not subscribe to this idea of negotiating with band of criminals who suppose to be behind bars.I was once a muslim until i became disgusted with all these satanic acts of some muslim brothers.I think the nation of Israel should not negotiate for whatever reason with all these criminals hiding under the cloak of religion to perpetrate atrocities to humanity.

This piece is to encourage the Isaelis that they are not alone in this trying moment and that our heart and spirits are with them in every action they might think right.Essentially my salutation goes to the able prime minister Olmert for the decisive steps he has taken so far.He should march on without looking back because myself and my group are with him in the campaign.
