1. Out with old/mould, in with the new
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (02.17.08)
Government exists ONLY for the benefit and protection of the citizens/residents of the nation they have been elected to serve. If a government cannot perform that basic function, there is NO NEED to maintain that government, but rather replace it with a government that can perform appropriately. And if the new government cannot perform, keep on replacing it with one that can do the job to the benefit of the people. Benchmarks of sucess are historical and clearly deliniated.
2. response to hamas rockets
marcel   (02.17.08)
There are coflicting arguments to invading gaza not the least of which is who wants to be saddled with taking care of a million gazans. Olmert decides to fortify 1/3 of homes at risk, he finds it hard to listen to sderotis-its so hard on Olmert. What an obnoxioux ogre is this flunkee who bought off winograd and shas, and is only afloat because barak saves his derriere. Anyways, firing israeli rockets into gaza civilians will reduce the hamas rocket fire. Pack them with ball bearings and flechettes.Do it!
3. New ideas and approaches are needed
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.17.08)
The strongest message possible to Gaza and to the world is the achieve parity in attack strategies. They shoot Qassams and mortars, we shoot back cheap inaccurate Qassam like rockets and mortars. They miss 99% of the time because Israel is sparse. We will hit targets the majority of the time because they are a dense target. Don't waste money. Don't risk IDF lives. Use the terrorist strategy of terror against them with the simple message. You stop - We stop. You fire - We fire. It doesn't get much simpler. It is the easiest supportable defense that the Arab world and the entire world will understand. No more "David and Goliath" stories or "We almost never hit our targets so it is okay for us to try to murder you and terrorize your citizens". PARITY ALONG WITH USING THE TERRORIST STRATEGY AGAINST THEM. What answer would they give? 1. Go back to using helicopters and aircraft with laser guided missiles. 2. Go back to sending in IDF elite units. If necessary, we can claim it was a rightwing group that is unaffiliated with IDF or the govt. Or it was the self-defence groups of Sderot that organized it, etc. as we turn a blind eye. But we can't control all of these groups. And as the Gazans demand that we control the groups, we remind them that they never controlled their terrorist groups and even supported them. IT IS TIME FOR NEW STRATEGIES NOT THE SAME OLD STALE THINKING OF POLITICIANS WITH DIMENTIA. Young minds with new fresh ideas.
4. The money to pay for it should come from PAL funds

5. Improving decaying homes first?
Dye Savati ,   Israel and USA   (02.17.08)
In a Westerner's eyes nearly all home in all of israel are decaying. In socialist little israel, this solution allows only 'connected' individuals, many of whom have a place in Sderot but live elsewhere to get their homes improved. Watch carefully... all the money will go to well-connected contractors. Here is a chance for Ynet to see corruption in action.
6. I feel your pain Sderot
Ehud Olmert ,   Abu Dhabi   (02.18.08)
Now shut up and pass the spring roll
