34. Re #33. I feel sorry for the bunch that believes nonsense
Steve ,   USA   (05.21.07)
B"H This story has a huge element of let us say "artistic creativity". I feel sorry for the buch getting upset with scarecrows made of straw. The pictures on this story appear to me to be fakes, and all those saying "more of this" look like fools to me. The hate is going nowhere positive. The focus is to stop the rocket attacks on Sderot so Peretz can become reelected, after claiming a "win". If not, he is out the door and the government falls under Labor, maybe in the winter. Keep on topic people. Do not get distracted by cheap Palliwood productions.
35. #2 so big boy what's you solution ?

36. Give me a break!!!!
Natan   (05.21.07)
Where the hell was everyone when hundreds of rockets are firing into a city??? The rest of the world does not give a flying F...k when Israelis are terrorized daily!!! Yet, once Israel retaliates, every one is screaming bloody murder!!! It's us or them, and i will take "them" every single time!!!
37. How the competition (JPost) describes this ...
sk ,   USA   (05.21.07)
I bit the bullet and visited JPost, always an unpleasant experience. They used their own reporters: "Hamas political leaders in the Gaza Strip involved in terrorism became targets Sunday after the security cabinet granted the IDF a green light to strike at terror chiefs, including politicians, involved in the nonstop Kassam rocket fire on Sderot. Two hours after the cabinet dispersed, IAF aircraft fired a missile at a terrorist cell walking down a street in the Gaza City neighborhood of Sajiya, killing eight and wounding 13. Palestinians said the missile struck the home of Hamas lawmaker Khalil al-Haya. But the IDF said the strike was on the terror cell and it was possible that Haya's home was hit by shrapnel. Palestinians said at least six of the dead were Haya's relatives." So now, on the one side, we have Ynet's story, complete with tragically bloodied, but unidentified moppet, who appears to be posing for the camera, or we have Jpost's story, which has a missile attack on a bunch of terrorists walking the street shortly after the "security cabinet" met and said to start targeted attacks. If you believe Ynet/Hamas, you believe that the IDF didn't even know that their target wasn't home. If you believe JPost, you believe that the attack got the desired targets, but had collateral damage consistent with the nature of the missile attack. Hm. But what about that moppet? I'm confused...
38. Blowback is A Bitch

ain't it achmeeed ??!!
39. 1, 2, and 7
Korem ,   New York, USA   (05.21.07)
You are completely and wholly taking in the Hamas side of the story without even considering what the Israeli military claims to have targeted. The last time Palestinian sources like Hamas described military operations they falsified massacres, like the Jenin massacre, or attributed blame to Israel for killings by shelling that could have also been a Hamas landmine. They are untrustworthy, and just because Hamas claims that all those killed were civilians, does not mean Israel was targeting the civilians. But what is interesting is that you respond by saying Israel will now not be seen in a favorable light, Israel's image will go down, Israel and the zionists have proved their evil, but even if Israel had completely targeted civilians, I didn't see you posting condemnation of the Qassam fire. That is, with the exception of 2, but women aren't really any more innocent than men in this conflict, and the proof of that is as clear as Hamas made it with its own claims of having a whole female army ready to blow themselves up against Israel. Also, most people in the West, when you include the Europeans, support the Qassams, because they believe it justified as the only possible method to fight the evil zionists, and any retaliatory strike proof of zionist evil.
40. ALL HAMAS TERRORISTS ARE EQUAL TARGETS
ZALMAN ,   USA   (05.21.07)
41. #33 Nice going by changing your name and country name.....

42. Beware of the disinformation
David L.   (05.21.07)
In the midst of the IDF disinformation, and eagerness of Ynet, Jpost and others to report it as facts, only the real evidence can be accepted as truth. In this case, 7 of the dead were indeed confirmed to be family members of the al-Haya family. Their names are: Nimr al-Haya, 60; Abd al-Hamid al-Haya, 35; Bakhr al-Haya, 26; Ibrahim al-Haya, 23; Ala al-Haya, 22; Jihad al-Haya, 17; and Mohammed al-Haya, 16. The eighth man is Samakj Farauna, 27, a Hamas activist. These are the crude, raw, real facts. I have absolutely no idea what the IDf was targeting and wether this was intentional or a mistake. But 7 of the 8 confirmed dead are civilian family members of an elected lawmaker (representing a group Israel identifies as terrorist).
43. ISREAL TO SOFT ON TERRORIST.

45. # 10 is right
Isragirl   (05.21.07)
Sadly... They couldn't resolve their internal problems, so they had a special unit that kept shooting at us until we got in and made them unite. On the other hand - what are the options?
46. WANT TO SHOOT ROCKET ????
ben ,   singapore   (05.21.07)
DONT EVEN THINK OF IT ! THE IDF WILL TERRORISE YOU GAZA TERRORIST AGAIN AND AGAIN ! TERRORISM DONT PAY !
47. #44 Well Mohammed
Lina ,   USA   (05.21.07)
With over 150 kassam rockets launched into Sderot by Hamas, it's a miracle Israeli children weren't killed or injured. Instead, they're traumatized and staying in temporary shelters. Seems Hamas received the response they were begging for. Would you have preferred Israel sit back and wait until the kassams started landing in Jerusalem? If you have a solution, let's hear it.
48. # 33 Rashid

Finally the IDF is doing what should be done.Better late than never.As the cowards olmert and peretz now see that the nation do not require thier ;ies and deciet and the army is doing the protection for which it stands.Hope to read that many more hamas terrorists have been deleted and Israel can again move forward to active life.
53. Simon
rebecca ,   Modiin   (05.21.07)
We have tried it Simon. Right thru the last few months Israel has stood back and not retaliated to the daily rockets and endless attempts at suiside bombers, and Hamas continues to fire rockets etc and increases it to distract the world and his people from their own problems.
54. #50 Yes you are murderers &
mojo ,   pleasantville usa   (05.21.07)
cockroaches the way you feed off the death of your own kind in a cannibalistic frenzy like hysterical death monkeys shouting, wallowing in your own excrement. further, you polute the ocean with your filth. disgusting. you've been given so many chances to behave human, but you have no respect for life, no respect for others, no respect for yourself. you murder eachother senselessly. yes, you are right in admitting that you are murderers, but you behave like roaches. and yes, i know roaches will keep breeding. and your point is?
55. #2 Another renegade fifth column
Semper Fi! ,   San Diego, USA   (05.21.07)
If you're a jew shame on you and others like you. You guys make me vomit reading your talkbacks. We actualy haven't heard about you while hundred + quassam were falling inside Israel. You have the chuzpah to say the the public opinion will be against Israel, where in arabofrance, in londonistan or in gaza. I really don't believe you're a Silverman or other. You should be rather a 7/11 ahmed or gas station mohamd...
56. #3 You make a great statement...
Spinner ,   World   (05.21.07)
You state "Just as every rocket fired at Israel targets civilians! The government doesn't care." Ah there we have the difference! You have a REBEL GROUP and a GOVERNMENT...the government CAN NOT ACT LIKE A REBEL GROUP!!! The government must care about civilians!!! Especially a democratic government!!! FYI...one is the result of the other...rockets are the result of IDF in places it should not be...
57. #1, well the result so far
Danny   (05.21.07)
Is that we have a vibrant, successful state leading the ME in cultural and technological acheivement - admittedly this is not super hard. Let me ask you the same question what has "70[sic] years of resistance" got you?
58. missing one and hitting 8 = 800% failure
observer   (05.21.07)
look at the lies of IDF: "targeted five Hamas gunmen who were moving through the neighborhood" So five were moving, but not grouped in one or 2 vehicles, and the IDF just said "moving" to give that vague impression of "perhaps" in a vehicle. The Media have not shown a hit vehicle which would have to be badly destroyed in order for the packed in 5 passengers to be killed immediately. Perhaps, the 5 were stuck together to make it easy for the IAF to hit, especially when every one of them knew that "targeted killing" of him was issued a few hours before by the Israeli cabinet. That untrue covering story makes the failure rate even rises to 801% One would say : "all Palestinians support Hamas, so they are not Civilians" to justify the killing. Cann't you see a similarity of that with what Hitler said to justify the Holocaust:"the rich and poor Jews all-over the world declared a financial war to strangulate Germany". I would rather say Israel has excelled!
59. Israel used banned weopon ? That's obvious.
observer   (05.21.07)
Using messiles to target militants is not prohibited, but everyone knows that using them in heavely populated area is certainly against international law. That's very obvious.
