1. Just Another Gimmick
Dave Levi ,   Burbank. USA   (11.19.06)
In the future, there should be no warnings. The IDF, after deciding to destroy the hide-out of a terrorist, should just send a missile and target it. No warnings, no out for the terrorist. But, will the so-called peace now (war later) groups in Israel and out protest the use of civilians to protect a miliant leader? I won't hold my breath.
2. and the I.D.F. is warning...
Dave ,   n.y.   (11.19.06)
3. that is a direct result of the
Saun ,   u.s.a.   (11.19.06)
u.n.'s impotence. shame on the u.n., and shame on Europe for supporting this...........
4. The first time?
sk ,   USA   (11.19.06)
Oh please, is Waked even a reporter? So-called civilains are always positioned to protect terrorists. Note that all could be blown up legally in the process of destroying the house. Do it already - and next time don't warn anyone.
5. W' huh? Is this for real?
(11.19.06)
It is nothing short of suicidal to warn your enemies of an impending ambush. Where is this indecision on how to handle terrorists coming from? Clearly, the palestinian Arabs have learned how to turn your system against you; you can no longer afford to do business as usual. This is about to get REAL NASTY.
6. And was HE in a dress, too?
RIB ,   USA   (11.19.06)
One that he bought for 'Special Occasions"?
7. what's the problem?
israeli ,   israel   (11.19.06)
stop issueing warnings! do they warn anybody that they are going to lobe a Qassam? do they warn anyone that they are going to blow themselves up in a suicide bombing? Just blast the bloody house and be done with it!
8. WHY ARE YOU TELLING THE TERRORIST
(11.19.06)
To leave his house so you can explode his house? Anyone inside the house which holds arms, should be killed with the bombs since they are the ones that obtained and are securing it. WHY THE **** ARE YOU WARNING THEM?!??!?!?
9. humanity
isiaiah   (11.19.06)
there are admitting that the jews are humane and have mercy . that they indeed avoid civilian casualties if they can .
10. human ring, human shield,
Jay ,   u.k.   (11.19.06)
it's all the same thing........, nothing but a bunch of terrorists with no value to human life, not even their own people's lives............. i promise you that Israel will learn how to deal with this new trick too, and again, it's not gona be very pretty..........
11. No way to wage a war. Israel AND the USA
BJL ,   Appleland   (11.19.06)
both fight like girly men. Israel.....fight to win! or just leave Eretz Israel. Next time, just bomb them! Same for the USA. Fight in Iraq to win. These endless patrols are useless. If our forefathers fought like this, we would all be speaking german. Israel, fight them, beat them, expel them.
12. SO....KILL THE HUMAN RING
Darren ,   Tampa, FL USA   (11.19.06)
And NEXT TIME QUIT TELLING THE ENEMY WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO ATTACK...ONLY FOOLS DO THAT... JUST KILL THEM...WITH RUTHLESSNESS. EVEN WHEN YOU ARE "NICE" IN WAR IT DOES YOU NO GOOD. SO KICK AND KILL ASS. And if you don't like my CAPS, just turn down the volume on your speakers!!! LOL
13. Has the whole world gone insane??
Jill ,   Colorado   (11.19.06)
PLease G_d help us..Abraham's descendants , all of them, are falling down in tragic tragic deaths..
14. BLAST THEM ALL TO HELL
(11.19.06)
It doesnt matter what you do they (the UN/world) will always be against you So do whats right for the country and blast them all. the next time they have a ralley blast some more and so on.
15. Problem solved
Shai ,   Israel   (11.19.06)
Just call up every terrorist in Gaza, every morning, and give him the same warning. Wherever the "ring" goes, bomb in the place they aren't. Better yet, warn and then don't bomb. Eventually they'll get so pissed at not being useful they'll just stay home.
16. The Lunatics are running the asylum
Adam Segal ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.19.06)
I'm beginning to loathe my own country more and more every day. Basically the rules are as follows, if you are an Israeli citizen and you protest anything you are ignored or beaten by the police. If you are an arab you can protest and fend off the ISRAELI ARMY?! First they phone a TERRORIST to tell him to leave his house so they can bomb it, then they call of the mission because civilians have decided to become fighters! This is just pathetic, no wonder we are losing this battle. I fear what Iran can do to us if a group of arab civilians can ward off an army mission.
17. Abondened Strike.
Dr.Joji Cherian ,   Aluva India   (11.19.06)
No. Not about the stike. Reading the coments one wonders when you will gain little wisdome? Can't you see that all hese bombings assasinations, demolishions, deprivations and all other brutalities have had no effect on Palestenions to your advantage.?And it will continue to be so.They are made wretched by you. Learn one thing. You can not threaten the wretched.
18. AN IDEA
SHLOMO ,   CLEVELAND, USA   (11.19.06)
Blow up the building and the ring of people with it. They were warned and nevertheless chose to surround the building--they assume the risk. Makes it easier for the IAF if all the terrorists are in one place anyway.
19. #16 My fellow Jew
(11.19.06)
You are my brother in the sense we are brothers of the Jewish people, we know its horrible, everywhere there is corruption. But we need good men like you to fight the corruption. To stand up even though everyone is against us. We need our brothers and sisters to stand together against this corruption, against these monsters. Best weapon is knowledge, expose the left, expose the corruption. Am Yisrael Chai
20. Where is Wisdom? to #17
Anna ,   Canada   (11.19.06)
And where is your solution, wise man, against the fanatics who don’t want to negotiate and leave in peace? Where is the panacea against suicide bombers, kidnappers, thieves and daily rocket attacks? Oh! I know! Jews have to be blown up or went slowly in straight lines into the sea. Thanks People are definitely fed-up. And they want to protect themselves. Israel is a very small country. And you can’t compare in parameters and quantity the reality and methods of fighting in India and in Israel. France failed in Algeria because of the human shields created by women and children. France was an occupier. For Israel the raids to Gaza and the PA is an unfortunate necessity for the survival. Your criticism of the angry and frustrated people doesn’t help. If you could bring the healthy constructivism, it would be greatly appreciated.
21. To the Dr. (17)
sk ,   USA   (11.19.06)
I assume you're Muslim. Meaning, that you're a squater on Hindu land. Get out of India -- go to Pakistan where you should have been expelled. Anyway, he so-called "new" policy is to kill the non-wretched: the Hamas leadership.
22. stupid
plyadies7 ,   usa   (11.19.06)
Only General I know was Patton who new how to fight a war. A tiny country like Vietnam beats the USA because they fought just like the Israelly army is today. Iraq is getting very old and now more men are being sent. Just another Vietnam. Nobody knows how to get the job done except the terrorist it seems. Give them the Abomb and you will see how it's done.
23. ridiculous..now UN scares
peggy ,   UK/ISRAEL   (11.19.06)
is this a damn "Hearts and Minds" mission or a fight for Israeli civilians to be able to sleep at night and go about their daily routine. Israel...leave the H&M to the US military (you see how bogged down they are) NO WARNING DAMN IT !
24. #17 Joji -Only part that U got right is they are wretched
Fasulia Hudra   (11.19.06)
Terror can not be rewarded and if the PALs go out to protect and support terrorists than they are not innocent civilians but are complicit with terror. As such they deserve to be bombed and killed. Yes they are wretched garbage that pursue our death and destruction. As such they deserve no mercy.
25. Morality
Ed ,   USA   (11.19.06)
The Palestinians are relying on the morality of Israel. The only reason their strategy worked is that Israel is not the monster that they have constantly accused it of being. The more they use this tactic the more they undermine their own propaganda. One could even hope that the difference between the morality of Israel and the immorality of their own so-called "defenders" would become apparent to them. But, sad to say, it is unlikely that we will see any rational thought from them.
26. Can they return the favor and WARN Israel b4 Suicide Bombs!
Joseph ,   Diaspora   (11.19.06)
27. HOW TO WIN A WAR IF IDF ACCEPTS RIDICULIOUS TRICKS ?
Robert   (11.19.06)
28. Don't issue a warning, or carry out the attack anyway !!
redmike ,   tel aviv & london   (11.19.06)
The IDFs present policy is called shooting yourself in the foot !
29. Human rings
MN ,   Ashkelon, Israel   (11.19.06)
Where do the IDF get the terrorists' telephone numbers from anyhow?
30. Show it TO THE world!!! you see these people!?!?
