This article's title is: "Sderot residents: Barak folded, now Qassams are back" The one preceding it reads: "Palestinians got the message,' Israeli official says" On rereading this again, I see that both may be right; namely, that Israel is a paper tiger. Wake up!

" Nothing could be more morally sound than cutting Gaza's power."

Dear terrified residents of S'derot, plus all communities now under rocket fire, and those soon to be under rocket fire - The ONLY people who should be cowering behind garbage cans and other hidey holes should be the COWARDS leading the government. ALL of them should be run out of office with pitchforks. They should become more afraid of their irate Jewish citizens than the Zionists are of those who launch the kassams. A paradigm shift must take place - the Zionists must reassert their power, and show the leaders who exactly they are working for. Until this is done the Zionists will tragically cower behind garbage cans!

Weakness, capitulation and a lack of stick-to-it-ivness. All it takes is a few well posed photographs of the usual suspects, a little pressure from the goyyim and there goes the resolve...

As he did in Lebenon..His true colours show.Barak under pressure is a coward.OR he was paid enough to open the gates.The kassams have not stopped so why the fuel and explosive chemicals allowed back at the gates??Barak will do anything for himself and to hell with the Israeli nation.The people are there for him to gamble.

how sad! where are the leaders who's only concern were the survival of ISRAEL? this "leadership" is only concerned with their carrier, hanging on to power, benefiting themselves, not the nation. CAN ISRAEL SURVIVE THEM???

Wimps and cowards who cannot take a stand without folding under minimal pressure. These worthless Israeli leaders should be removed from power because they serve foreign interests and not Israel

Pawns in a political game run by Olmert's and Barak's cowardice

Barak may have ben a good soldier following orders others gave him, but as a leader or politician he always was a fool and still is. He cant see beyond 24 hrs, not can he see beyond the comfort of where he sits his behind. Hes stupid he always was.

residents of sderot are you blind and dumb?isnt't it obvious by now,isnt it 100% clear to everyone who is not blind or stupid,that these two criminally insane TRAITORS,olmert and barak absolutely do not care about sderot, and have no intention of protecting you,they will not use the IDF firepower to smash hammas,because they are saving it ,and will use it only,when they will expell 200,000 jews from yehuda and shomron,there is only one solution to this problem,all 25000 residents of sderot ,men women and children,march up to jerusalem storm the knesset,and phisycally drag out these two traitorous gangsters,and put them on trial for treason,and if found guilty,do to them what the citizens of italy did to their traitor mussilini,after world war two

No thanks. I'm fine.

Hamas has won this round. Once again, Barak has fallen to the floor in defeat. Why does this person remain in politics? Abject failure does not seem to bar political advancement.

When he wore a dress infiltrating Lebanon. Now, he is just an Olmert/Abbas stooge!

Anyone who participates in the Olmert government of surrender and defeat instead of working to force new elections is no better than Olmert and the rest of the Kadima Klowns. Shame on you, Barak. You used to love Israel more than your personal political position. Bring down this disaster of a government and let's get tough with the terrorists. No more backing down to outsiders who aren't living and dying with the brave people of Siderot.

Simple pimple! Go ahead, it's better than bombing. Make them shit or get off the pot.

Barak is good on covert missions.He is 1000X better than the coward Olmert. But, something happened to him back in Oslo days. He seemed and seems paralysed with fear of Egypt, US and Europe. He is a Lt General. Let it rip like Sharon did when you need to take action. Egypt is not going to war over Hamas; but arab blood is more important to them than good trade with israel.So they are constantly pressuring Israel. just tell them no.There should be no rockets fired from Gaza say within 48 hrs or no fuel. Europe can go to hell.Yaalon needs to replace barak and Landau or Gillerman need to replace the coward Olmert as PM. The problem back in Barak days were that he was very slow to respond and when he did, his responses were pathetic. israelis ae courageous and will withstand a lot and fight but they need leaders who will lead and not sit their like dumb Olmerts.

For decades, the Israeli Left has promoted the idea that withdrawing from territories occupied by Arabs will bring peace. What's going on in Sderot proves that their childish ideology was totally wrong. All these politicians must go and must be excluded from all positions in government or in the army.

REBUILD Gush Katif :)

CLOSE UP GAZA FOR A YEAR NOW!! THEY PLAY US FOR STUPID AND OUR GOVERNMENT IS LETTING THEM!! IM SO EMBERASSED BY MY COUNTRY! MY FRIENDS WERE MAKING FUN OF ISRAEL, AND I JOINED IN LAUGH!!!! ITS REALLY GETTING FUNNY NOW COZ WE'RE TOO STUPID TO ACT RIGHT ON THIS MATTER!! SHAS MUST QUIT TO GET OLMERT JOBLESS! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

ZERO qassams and ZERO mortars over Sderot and surroundings is the ONLY acceptable number. Do you read the news or listen to radio? It is long over due bringing down this govt. and permanently retiring Barak and Olmert. I can only imagine that Nasrallah will get more votes than Olmert and Barak combined.

If he did not enter politics after his army career,then he would have been remembered as a hero. Now he will be remembered as a cowardly politician who cares more about his political career than Israel.

then who will be for me? Olmert and Barak will not defend Sderot. Do they really expect the UN or anyone else to do it for them? Or are they depending on the mercy of Hamas?

he was also mayor of Sderot - not that it helped them any during his reign of error
