Of course it's not the article that is stupid, it is the situation. Olmert, stay in Tokyo!

With Olmert, Livni, & Barak at the helm, you can look forward to more of the same. If you get killed, it will be in a good cause - our politician's careers. Isn't that a worthy sacrifice? If you're lucky, one of our genius politicians will come by & make a speech, telling you how brave you are, that they're proud of you for being such a sucker. Do you know what - in the eyes of our politicians, you're less important than an official Volvo. If you feel like being idealistic, think of yourself & your friends as a noble sacrifice for peace - that might be total BS but it might make you feel better as the Kassams fall on your head.

There will not be peace with the Arabs living west of the Jordan because the Arab leaders in the Middle-East are afraid of peace. We should understand why the leaders in the Arab world do not want peace with Israel. Peace and closer relations with Israel means democracy in the Arab countries, improvement of individual freedom for all, freedom of choice as to religion and education in other words the end of the dictatorship, the end of tyranny in the Arab countries first, and then, in the Muslim countries. Can the Saudi King Abdullah accept this ? can Basher al-Assad accept this ? can Mubarak accept this ? can all the petty tyrants of the Arabic Peninsula accept this, or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad ? …so let’s be realistic: can peace, indeed, be more than just a dream ? Peace with Israel means, also, the abandondment of Jihad, the abandondment of the conquest of the world by Islam. In order to understand what that means you should consult : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/phenomenon-of-radical-islam-or-islamism_4903.html

What else is the pathetic PM suppose to do!!!Sitting in Knesset meetings looking bored out of his mind listening to shas, and finching fish like features, while fixing his tie. Wouldn't you rather be eating treif Sushi and checking out on Geisha girls (with a wife like his I would run). So, Mr. Olmert, enjoy you perfect vacation to the far East. Why should you be in Israel!!!! There is NOTHING UNUSUAL HAPPENING. Only a war going on in Sderot....So What!!So we lose a few Jews, a few limbs, a few homes........but most important. WE WILL HAVE PEACE WITH THE ENEMY......keep dreaming, and keep running (on Israeli Sderot tax dollars.) Sincerely, Fortune, Brooklyn Ny....... A REAL LOVER FOR THE STATE OF ISRAEL AND NOT FOR THE GOVERNMNT

If Israel wanted to, she could destroy them in 5 minutes from the air. The will is lacking. No one really respects that.

what is it about qassams that mesmerizes people? if i were being shot at, several times a day, for years, i would have developed a new hobby by now: every time i had an hour to spare, i would be doing something to fortify my house, my school, or my neighbourhood. by now, the entire city of sderot would be covered in sandbags. and concrete walls. and mobile shelters. there wouldn't be a lawn or a garden without a foxhole or a trench. what ever happened to the halutz spirit? it's clear to everyone by now that the government is not going to help, so why haven't the people of sderot (and sapir college) organized themselves into volunteer brigades to build shelters? if you will it, my brothers, it's no myth.

Good luck to you and your mates college alone is stressful enough with out the threat of rocket attacks. Your country is acting with amazing restraint given the situation. I think of Isreal often and know you will overcome this threat like the many Isreal has overcome in the past. Stay strong islamofasicm will fail as long as the democratic governements of the world do not allow it too succeed.
