"A complete boycott of Israel must be started. No weapons no oil. A complete military blockade. . Egypt must immediately send its complete military into the Sinai and tell Israel if she invades Gaza Egypt will defend her with all her might." Darling, Egypt does not need to send its entire army to defend Gaza. EGYPT CAN HAVE GAZA ON A SILVER PLATTER. PLEASE GOD, would that it were so. Israel would pay Egypt to take it off her hands, once and for all.

You say that there is no good side or bad side anymore. I don't agree. The Jews don't hide behind their children . The Jews don't have cartoons to teach little children to hate. The Jews don't go beserk and start killing people over silly things like teddy bears and cartoons. You think it's bad because an Israeli Rocket killed more people than the rockets fired by Hamas. There is a big difference there too. Israel aims it's rockets at a specific target to get rid of a specific threat. Hamas and their sort fire rockets in a general direction and don't care what they hit be it hospitals, schools, children, little old ladies crossing the street, etc. It's sad that people are getting hurt and killed but no reasonable person can expect Israel or any other people to do nothing while another group tries to kill them for whatever reason.

Yes, Shulamit. Have Egypt get its butt kicked YET AGAIN by the Israelis. Have Lebanon and Iran send their pitiful forces in support of the Palestinian murderers. A complete military blockade by nations that are afraid of Israel is SUCH a good idea. Exactly what color is the sky on your planet?

You think you're the only one to have a handle on this problem? Let me tell you, decent people have taken on board all the factors you have mentioned, and can see that there are elements that you have omitted or glossed over to reach your dramatic , unbalanced opinion. You are blinded to the reality of the situation and like one other commenter said, people like you only " come out of your holes and argue over moral and stuff. i call that "sick" The Pals are entirely responsible for this situation. They have ENGINEERED it.

You are not a true patriot, if you were you wouldnt want the muslims living in England.. England is for people who beleive in our system and way of life.. Not forcing their foreign, pagan rubbish onto a Christian country..

Do you we have any people who want to survive other than Vilnai here? Should we wait until they attack the West and Westerners even harder? Isn't that what we've done for the last 40 years? You peaceniks shame your children by the world you want to leave them.

You Israelis deserve the country you have with rockets blasting into it. You whine and moan at Olmert and then when someone finally stands up to protect Israel, you crap all over him because of semantics. You're so incredibly worried what the world thinks of you and that will be your extinction.

Well , we all know the basis of what you're saying has merit. Its not in anyway a good idea or acceptable to kill enemy civilians in defense of your country. Counter that with the Hamas Charter and the gusto in which its being implemented. But there comes a time where enough is enough, and nothing else is working and SOMETHING has to be done. I'd like you, to suggest another way for Israel to turn, where the situation is obviously getting worse and Israel hasn't at first resort just exploded the lot of them? Everything they do is condemned and I dont expect you'll have a worthwhile answer either.

This is the LAST thing that Israel wants. Hasn't that occurred to you at all? Tolerance and diversity - lovely sentiments but in this case ONLY shared by the Israelis.

is robbing ur land, torturing & killing ur children?

Reuters made a "mistake" and mistranslated the word Shoah, which actually means DISASTER. HaShoah is the term used for the Holocaust. Shame on Reuters... They should be sued until they're bankrupt.

"A complete boycott of Israel must be started. No weapons no oil. A complete military blockade." This is ok, in fact this is what should have been done long before, better now than never. This could be a very effective way to force Israeli government to reach a diplomatic agreement with the Palestinians. But, the EU wouldn't do that for their own guilt from the past and their own interests, the US of course not, so not hopeful about that... Don't think there is any need to involve Egypt, Lebanon, Hizballah, and Iran into this. Are you really serious about this part by the way?

Every country has the right and responsibility to protect its borders and citizenry. It does not matter if its Israel, the Palestinians, the U.S. or Germany, U.K. etc. This back and forth is utter rubbish. Just fight it out and end it so we can all move on. I don't begrudge anyone for defending themselves for any reason.

you having piles eh, go see a doctor ! :-)

Hey D, from Tel Aviv, once you board the Shulamit train (boycotts, international armies and terrorists dispatched against Israel), you are on for the whole ride, and there are no stops. You cannot say at the end, "I only proposed a boycott". Perhaps you had better learn from Israeli history and Jewish history in the Land of Israel. Remember the arms embargo in 1948? All the wars? And what about in ancient times? How many times did the Jews stubbornly rebel against Rome? It is not for nothing that even Titus refused to accept a wreath of victory or receive a title after putting down the 1st Jewish revolt in 70 c.e. And after the 2nd revolt, Hadrian said of the leader Bar Kochba, "If his own God had not killed him, no man could have destroyed him". Israel will never be deterred into making "concessions" by boycotts, threats, and violence. Only positive incentives can induce Israel to make any concession, i.e. a genuine intention by the Arabs to renounce their objectives to destroy Israel (Hamas) or non-recognition of Israel as the Jewish state (Fatah). But the way things have been proceeding, all bets are off.

Marwan, you finally understand what the Palestinians are doing to the Jews! I am so proud of you!

Keep on dreaming .... your Israel and your IDF is in the countdown ... next real war will bring you back to the null point .... you are living in nightmare made by your hands and you deserve it .

But in the same time you know all that what he said is your nightmare ... your mom America is getting tired and weak from too much wars and soon the will not help you at least like before and you will have to face your handmade enemies alone and you know all what it means .... this is the nightmare .... wish you all sweet dreams.

courage to commit a major atrocity against the arabs. Ever since the last war in Lebanon, Israel has felt the need to reestablish its military reputation. Now you want to rebuild your authority by committing mass slaughter in Gaza. How far do you intend to go this time, Israel? How long can my nation associate with you if you do this? How long can this hell continue? What can I say or do to stop you, you crazy bastards? I can only hope the future doesn't hold what the sickening rhetoric threatens in ever more ominous tones each day. Land of G_d, city of peace, go to hell if it's any different from what you've already created on earth. I see nothing holy in this enterprise.

If this happened to any other country on earth there would be a huge outcry. I support neither side of this issue, i think the map speaks for itself. http://www.friendsofpalestine.org.au/images/Palestine%20Map%20Big.jpg

They must be wiped off the face of this earth. It's war, there will be collateral damage but that is the price of war. Israel must go in and wipe them out with out mercy. Like the allied did in WW II. Bob and flatten the place. kill them all!!!! Then thye will be quiet

I wish the wholw world would see the things Your way, because it is the ONLY WAY !!!!!

Vilnai should resign.There is no question about it.Using the word holocaust in vain is stupid and a gross insult against humanity.Threatening a holocaust,which is tantamount to threatening genocide should land Vilnai in court.What an idiot !!

VILNAI is either a lunatic for threatening with a "SHOA", or he is a complete idiot for using the word without thinking. He must quit or be fired. He has single handedly placed millions of Jews around the world in greater danger of Muslim attacks, and destroyed any Israeli diplomatic efforts to get international backing for a large operation in Gaza. He just gave Israel critics everywhere justification for continued criticism and boycotts without killing a single Palestinian. He must resign or be fired!

to shut up! It is simply unbelievable how a skilled and intelligent man like Matan Vilnai could have said something like this! Islamofascists and nazis everywhere must be feeling extremely grateful his remark and certainly will use and abuse it until the point of exhaustion!

"In fact Vilnai said this morning in off-the-cuff remarks made on Israel Radio that: “The more the Qassam rocket fire [on Israeli civilians] intensifies and increases its range, the Palestinians are bringing upon themselves a bigger disaster because we will use all our might to defend ourselves.” Vilnai used the word “shoah” (meaning disaster), which Reuters mistranslated as “Holocaust,” which is “HaShoah” in Hebrew. It is like confusing a “white house” with “The White House.”" http://media.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZjkyYzg4NjI5YWI0OTE4OGJmYTAxNGU1ZTBhYzRlOWM
