isn't in a position of power now. He's got a brain and that rarest of attibutes, common sense. Way to go!

WE've come home. YOU're the land thief and invader. We are prepared to live in peace with you sharing OUR land. If you wont play nice we wont spare your lives. Get real and stop believing your own myths and propaganda

Mister Eiland appears to be the same idiot as his predecessors and mentors. The best way to calm down Gaza is to invade into it and clean it from the Hamas bandits. The less effective, but still good way is to convert the rocket-launch areas into security zones, with antiguerillas military units, which should ambush the launch teams and destroy them; such an activity may take long time, but this is minor problem. After all, the security zone might be simply annexed which will definitely annihilate significant part of Hamas' glory. Unfortunately, israelian army and political system have not yet procreated even one reasonable, pragmatic person, but only biorobots like this one.

You made sense in 75...you make even more sense today. I wish we had a government that will take your suggested options seriously.

take a 10mile buffer zone from Gaza. The kassam 3 only has a 10 KM range this gives Isreal and specifically Sderot about a 4 mile buffer zone from the Kassams. Gaza can give this land of their own volition or cut their electricity and water, oh and don't forgetIsrael should make their own kassams and launch them back at a 2 for 1 ratio. Why do terrorist use kassams? They are cheap tp produce and easy to produce. Making Israeli Kassams (but change the name to something like "Davids sling') will be a deterrent and supply Israeli's with jobs. Maybe Gaydamak would finance the building of the factory, in Sderot I think would be a good place for it.

Hamas should have an "address" and that address is Gaza. Makes it easier to hit them where it hurts.

were in the middle east way before Islam ....and you arabs kicked one million jews from arab countries ,left them as refugees ,and where do you think they live now ?YES.... ISRAEL.............now how about all the arabs living in Europe? Should they all be kicked out of there?

That sounds like a good way to work it. A limited retake so it doesn't look like or become an security re-control. Call them "Samkass" - the reverse. I'd change to a 1 to 1 ratio. That would be adequate to make the point to the world without "punishing" or overdoing it. It's a great chance to do a true tit for tat. (With suicide boomers, Israel can't do it.)

an all-too-obvious suggestion regarding the Palestinian kassamsisto announce that one day each week,Israel will launch similar missiles to the kassamsatGaza. Where these land is anyone's guess, but the damage will be fargreaterand theHamas missiles willstop.

the Palestinians really want to coexist with the christians in the west bank and in Bethlehem. Its not just jews that the palestinians dont want to coexist with.
