1. Olmert is right
yosef ,   israel   (01.15.08)
A rocket is found in Shchem, walking distance from Kfar Saba and Kohav Yair. Hamas fighters shoot a farmer with guns given to them by Olmert and launch rockets brought across the Philadelphi route. 30% of Sderot residents (the ones with enough money) have left their homes. The conclusion is clear: the retreat from Gaza was such a success it must be repeated in Judea and Samaria: Israel must supply Abbas with weapons, release more Arab prisoners, retreat to the Green Line and destroy all Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria.
2. don´t worry
Christoph ,   Germany   (01.15.08)
A massive IDF incursion is only a matter of time. On his recent trip George Bush made it very clear, that he acknowledges the right of Israel to defend itself from terrorists in Gaza. So, things will heating up and in the end you´ll go in and eliminate this threat.
3. FAILED POLICIES
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (01.15.08)
The lack of action and initiative in the governments policies are seen as weakness by our pallie friends and not without a reason. For them terror pays and it pays big in $$ and in appeasement by us. Maybey it is time to go to our supreme court and sue the government on behalve of our Sderot residents, because the state fails to do their basic duty and that is to defend its citizens. If they realy wanted it they could have resolved this problem years ago. But political games and failed policies are more important, besides that these people of Sderot lack the protectia to get anything done in this with nepotism infected corrupt government. It does not matter if it is the left, the right or the religious who are supposed to represent us, all they are interested in is their own share in the porkpie.
4. Israel should shoot these rockets back at the Arabs
Joseph P. ,   JewRusalem   (01.15.08)
and watch how thousands of Arabs get killed, but the Arabs won't be able to complain because that's what they're doing daily. Perhaps THE WORLD WILL REALIZE that these QASSAMS ARE DEADLY, after all.
5. Where are the 155mm shells
J K ,   NYC, USA   (01.15.08)
4 of them, dropping right into the middle of gaza city? Where are they?
6. Gruerrilla Freedom Fighters...
EA ,   USA   (01.15.08)
Palestinians are Freedom Fighters.. Israeli's are the terrorists...
7. Does the IDF have Howitzers or not?
ner ,   boston   (01.15.08)
Use them for God's sake. why are you targeting terrorists when they are targeting civilians?
8. Time to cut all electricity, gas, and water and start shelli
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (01.15.08)
Time to cut all electricity, gas, and water and start shelling Gaza with cheap inaccurate Qassam like rockets until they beg for mercy.
9. If you cage an animal and torment it or
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.15.08)
if you hold someone up and at the point of a gun you and your big brother relieve him of his property, who is the hero here if he manages to get off a lucky punch and leave you with a bloody nose.
10. Carpet Bomb the Strip - forget world opinion
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (01.15.08)
11. Olmert/Livni/Shas/Liberman: Israel Must Sacrifice for Peace
Jerry ,   NYC, USA   (01.15.08)
The forthcoming thousands of dead Israelis should recognize that they are sacrifices for peace. What's so hard to understand?
12. #4, THEY DO! Only their rockets are much bigger and dropped
Rick V. ,   Hartford, US   (01.15.08)
from airplanes!
13. #9 - half right the 1st time
er der   (01.15.08)
"If you cage an ANIMAL . . ." (BUT THE ANIMALS MAKE THEIR OWN 'CAGE', FOOL!)
14. A response to Lydia from Australia - #9
Kate ,   London, UK   (01.15.08)
I can assure you that we Jews have an infinitely better claim to Israel than the white man does to Australia. We have also done far less harm in the re-establishment of our state than the white man in Australia. And, oh yes, I don't suppose you noticed but Israel pulled out of Gaza some time ago.
15. #9 response
Jim ,   Saint Louis, USA   (01.15.08)
Nobody took their property. Did you notice that GAZA is not cotrolled by anybody but the Arabs? Lucky punch! Why do you have so much hate for Jews? Perhaps the Aborigines where you live should, G-d for bid, "punch" your child.
16. There - They said it!
Laurence ,   Santa Ana, CA USA   (01.15.08)
Hamas is an elected government. Hamas has claimed responsibility for the missle attack. Is that not an act of war? Will Israel declare war on Hamas? Will Israel properly defend itself?
17. #6 right on the money
Mike Sikovich ,   USA   (01.15.08)
It is time that terrorist Israeli's taste their own medicine and how it feels when your innocent women and children get hurt.
18. #9 A very strange analogy
Sidney ,   USA   (01.15.08)
Harmless aimals are not normally caged. Where it is necessary as in animal shelters and medical centers, it is done humanely. If the Palestinians are your animals, why are they caged? Actually fenced off like cattle and buffalo would be a better term. Before they turned to violence Palestinians had the highest standard of living of any Arabs in the Middle East and freedom of movement in Israel. In my only visit to Israel, before the violence, I wandered freely and without fear in such Arab places as the casbah of Nablus and encountered Arabs everywhere. Rulers of the wealthy oil states have never shared the wealth with their people.
19. 17 - Mike sicko bitch
magen david zahav   (01.15.08)
Now that's a good one; Not that the palos attack the innocents, and yeah, Israel is certainly guilty of such (NOT!!!!!!!!!!) Pull the other one, it plays Jingle-Bells! u r either demented, brainwashed, or plain brain-dead.
20. This escalation is wrong and must stop
Simon Mohammed ,   Falls Church, VA USA   (01.15.08)
this is going in the opposite sens of what every one is looking for. we start the day by reading and hearing the killing and counter killing and an escalation that is not needed. I really fell sorry for the innocent people arround there. God Help you all by giving more wisdom and courage to make the right decision on time. Good luck
21. #6 & 17
bernard ,   france   (01.15.08)
perhaps your broken english meant " freedom-farters".. .sorry for this sick joke : your mindlessness is contagious!
22. Forget The Electricity
Bill Foonman ,   jacksonville, USA   (01.15.08)
What a waste of time and effort. It's time to pull the plug on Hamas.
23. HELLO!!!! BOMB THEM BIGGG TIME
HELLO!!!!   (01.15.08)
24. Reality of the situation...
Michael ,   Chicago, USA   (01.15.08)
So, the "Palestinians" get "Palestine", do they stop the attacks? Hamas was elected by the people and their fouding tenant is to end Israel's existence. Doesn't sound like a neighbor I would want to have to share a border with. Easy for the Euro's and Aussie's to comment about what should be done in Israel as they have no worries in their lives, buncha punks. Good luck Israel, as usual, most everyone is against you and your people.
25. #21 funny a French talks about fighting for freedom
Mike Sikovich ,   USA   (01.15.08)
you were the ones who offered your sisters, wives and moms to the German when they walked all over your affluent Paris. I am sure your mother and grandmother are full of fond memories of German soldiers. ask them, I am sure they are the ones who passed the contagious things to you.
26. lydia of brisbane = un-Australian
Norm ,   Australia   (01.15.08)
27. The jews hasn't left Gaza. They still CONTROL it
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.16.08)
The jews have no claim to occupied Palestine! none whatsoever! They are not Semites they bear no blood relations to the Biblical jews and are but interlopers and Khazar converts intent on stealing even more land. They raid Gaza, block and impede daily access of the Palestinians to basic human rights Shoot innocent women and children i.e. Hospitals etc. Unfortunate women give birth and sick people die at these check points. The jews still occupies part of Lebanon despite UN resolution. Yet silly silly people like yourself believe the "we left Gaza" and "we left Lebanon" rubbish. Put in your pipe and smoke it the Palestinians are a bona fide resistance to jewish occupation.
28. 26, I don't collectively murder women and kids
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (01.16.08)
