(11.16.06)
32. PAINFUL BLOW TO GAZA
HENRYK ,   RAMAT GAN/ISRAEL   (11.16.06)
HA- HA-HA PLS DO NOT MAKE ME LOUGH
33. is there no limit to the stupidity of our gov't ???

34. The government should do the honorable thing
Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ   (11.16.06)
Boneheaded blunders by Rumsfeld finally forced his resignation when it became apparent that he had no clue about winning the war. Remeber, we are talking about a US force composed entirely of volunteers in a non-existential war. Although every American life is precious, the number of Americans killed compared to the comparative number of Israelis killed since Oslo is small. Yet the American people, seeing the folly of the current course, voted for a change. The government of Israel is even more clueless in protecting its soldiers and civilians than Rumsfeld. The incompetent Peretz continually threatens and threatens an d now says that things will have to get worse before responding. Does he and his idiot Prime Minister think things will get better for the residents of Sderot by continuing the present course of action? Israel had the golden opportunity to severely hurt Hezbollah during the stupidly led Lebanese war. It had the approval of the US and other nations and yet Olmert and Peretz refused to win the war. Now, the international force threatens to shoot down Israeli jets while looking the other way as Hezbollah rearms and retrenches in Lebanon. Israel needs elections soon.
35. Peretz blusters like an Arab
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (11.16.06)
Such bravado with so few demonstrations. Is this a cultural issue for you, Mr. Peretz?
36. Peretz warns himself
s.shamash ,   london   (11.16.06)
remove peretz the chicken he is bad for israel .
37. Enzo darling
(11.16.06)
This buffoon does live in Sderot. His guard had both his legs blown off yesterday.
38. arm israelis with rockets
hanina   (11.16.06)
Start handing out rockets to isralies and when they feel the need, launch them back at the arabs. to hell with the army. A class of high school students coud do a better job.
39. Threats
Abir ,   Chicago, IL USA   (11.16.06)
I certainly hope Peretz has something more substantial to offer than his recent performance during the Lebanese conflict. The bad guys do not seem to be too worried with his threats. It is time he understood that a wise man speaks when he has something to say, as opposed to a stupid man who speaks just to say something.
40. Circle of Violence
TOM ,   BSAS,ARGENTINA   (11.16.06)
ISRAEL MUST STOP RETALIATION. ISRAEL ATTACKS, PALS FIRE ROCKETS, SUICIDE ATTACKS, OR... PALS FIRE ROCKETS, SUICIDE ATTACKS, ISRAEL RESPONDS! ITS A CIRCLE OF VIOLENCE AND DEATH. BE SMART ISRAEL PLEASE! NEGOTIATE, AND TRY TO DO SOMETHING POLITCAL AND NOT JUST BOMB EVERYTHING. IN THE RECENT HZBSHIT AND ISRAEL WAR, IT WAS DIFFERENT, BUT PLEASE ISRAEL BE SMART. SOMETIME YOU MUST PUNISH THEM, OTHERS NEGOTIATE, AND BE POLITICAL AND LET DIPLOMACY... I DON´T KNOW IT´S TOO COMPLICATED. STILL. BE STRONG ISRAEL., I SUPPORT YOU. LONG LIVE ISRAEL
41. PAINFUL EMTY THREAT, Heard that one before
JB   (11.16.06)
42. Gaza
David ,   USA   (11.16.06)
When Germany launched their V1s and V2s at London, what did the English do? Leveled German cities. Enough said.
43. The best defence is a good offence...AMBUSH AMBUSH AMBUSH!!!
Joseph ,   LA LA Land   (11.16.06)
There is no easy solution to this, though I liked #5's Collateral damage idea (destroy a village for each rocket pre-warned). However realisticly Diskin warned govt that Hamas smuggled 30 tons of weapons/explosives the day before sderot happenned, the IDF are tracking everything going in and out of Sinai but their hands are being tied by Olmert, Egpyt and our Euro friends so called "Monitoring" the border. Israel just tips off these so called inspectors in turn either tip of the smugglers or turn a blind eye like even the media has been reporting recently. Solution is AMBUSHES. They have proved so effective with the smallest casuality on the IDF side by far, get in and get the hell out!! The last place where they will expect anything is in Sinai enroute to the Philidelphia border. Sinai is pretty much open unhindered desert. IDF deploys Commando units "Dressed as Bedouins" directed from their intel who are tracking smuglers by satalite (and agents on the ground) and take them out. This can prove extremely effective to not only eliminate a large portion of smuggling but also reduce the speed they are getting the contraband through the borders so blatently. The other area is on the Gaza side, there are various spots where the Qassam crews are launching missle after missle. IDF can detect where missle is being launched from their intel systems and its flight path with laser/radar. They should obviously have some ambushes setup in all of these open/field positions ASAP forcing terroirsts to go back and launch from civilan areas. Once they launch from Civilian areas it would be easier to have eyes spot the crews on the ground in the ciites or camps. REMOTE MINES: Plant high explosive remote controlled mines all over these open areas, every possible location where intel believes these qassam crews can launch from. They won't detonate if someone steps on them or decides to have a picnic there unless remotly detonated, but will transmit back that someone is standing above them. IDF will only detonate with confrimation from surveylence that it's a qassam crew, smuggler or other terrorist. This will also scare the bejesus out of them and make them think twice before going on each mission. I don't want to get to high tech here, but if they don't want to deploy human commandos for ambushes for fear of casualites then they can deploy remote-auto sniper guns over certain areas with open visbility of a few km. Enough of these with interlocking the arc of fire would be so deadly the crews wouldn't even be able to guess what hit them. If they don't posess any of these remote weapons they should buy them from US companies that manufacutre them. A more manual approach is just having surveylance laser tage the targets for distant fire from artillery, tanks, planes or drones (whoever is the closest to tagged target). This will reduce collateral damage as you can pinpoint the type fire depending on location. I won't even list here the different methods they can use for tagging the targets. I can go on all day here with counter-measures.... This is just the tip of the iceberg of what the IDF is capable of doing to these unintelligent terror squads. My question is what the hell are they waiting for?
44. War
Rhett ,   Auckland, NZ   (11.16.06)
In 1936 the jews declared war on Germany. And now they're at it again, some people never learn.
45. Peretz
Natan ,   USA   (11.16.06)
Mr. Peretz, Let me remind you that more than 1,000 Kassam rockets have been fired on Israel since the Gaza disengagement. Are'nt you a little too late for issuing threats.. It is not too late, however, to resign!!!!
46. enough lies
gilgamesh ,   Canada   (11.16.06)
Isreal kills palastinians at random and tries to justify it by calling them terrorists no one belives this crap any more. America lied to go to war Isreal lies to stay at war if you want to fix the middle east quit killing and start talking.
47. his lips move but all we hear is blah blah blah
Arie ,   Afula   (11.16.06)
48. Idiots
J ,   Washington, DC   (11.16.06)
Don't you retards know that in a 1000 mile radius of Israel you are outnumbered 100 to 1 by Arabs. Try some really savage shit against the Palestinians and watch how fast the US washes their hands. Iran could beat you guys single handedly. Add Syria, Egypt, Labanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Jordan (your old friends) and what have you got an old fashion ass whoopin'. The sooner you play nice the sooner the bombs stop.
49. IF??!!
sara ,   tel-aviv   (11.16.06)
What do you mean if they continue....What do you want them to do.... kill your family and then deal with them? What the hell are you waiting for?
50. Peretz...
Natan ,   USA   (11.16.06)
Mr. Peretz, When you Write a check make sure you have the funds to back it up!!! At this time looks like you are out of funds and got nothing to back it up with>>Time to move on and organize strikes again!!!
51. He doesn't have the balls
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (11.16.06)
If he did, he would order the air force to obliterate everything - after warning the residents. They can go to Sinai for all I care!! Anybody who stays - it's their problem!
52. ISREAL IS TO SOFT ON TERRORISM.
BLAM OLMERT ,   USA   (11.16.06)
53. #48 Washington Moron who doesn't read history
Joseph   (11.16.06)
Do you read histroy? You might try reading the history of Israel from 1948 and all wars that ensued where Israel had odds stacked and they came out on top. When push comes to shove regardless of US or no US Israel will shut Hizboulah and Hamas down real fast, media or no media. Egypt/Jordan/Saudi Arabia won't attack, maybe some militants there will be sent and get destroyed en-route. Lebanon & Syria, well lets check the damage after the last lebanon war did you see all those buildings destroyed and country put back 20-30 years, well that was playing nice and trying very hard only to get the bad guys, if the glove comes off Syria and Lebanon will go back into the dark ages. Iran, the guy is a nut case if he fires anything more then conventional weapons at israel all I can say is I wouldn't want to be living in Iran then. The only and I mean only Problem Israel has right now is internally, leaderless leadership. If they can replace govt (Olmert, the court jester and Peretz) they will be ready come what may
54. Peretz IS striking
Daniel ,   Fromerly Israel   (11.16.06)
Remember that Peretz is a union leader, and a union leader's definition of "strike" is to not do anything at all. Peretz is on strike.
55. I AGREE WITH #4
Shelly Waxman ,   South Haven, USA   (11.16.06)
NO MERCY. IT'S THE ONLY WAY. SCREW THE REST OF THE WORLD. IT IS CORRECT THAT THEY ALL HATE JEWS BECAUSE OF OUR CHOSENESS. I THINK THE MESSIAH IS SOON TO COME.
56. It can be done
Brod ,   USA   (11.16.06)
It can be done. Use overwhelming power to subdue your enemies. Once it is done, there will be lasting peace and quiet in Israel and the region.
57. peretz
buzby ,   israel   (11.16.06)
when peretz threatens I am sure the arabs must shake in their sandals-with laughter. He is part of a long line in our recent history of useless leaders. When will we have the guts to realise that the governments of the U.S.A. and Europe must not be appeased with our surrender to the arab hyenas?
58. Replace Peretz with Sharon
pauldanish ,   Longmont USA   (11.17.06)
Peretz should be replaced as Defense Minister by Sharon. Sharon would be more decisive.
59. if if if if if if if if if if
Arie ,   Afula   (11.17.06)
60. Poetical lesson for Peretz
Sagi ,   Israel   (11.17.06)
Sticks and stones will break my bone but names will never hurt me.
