1. Another Expression of the Arab Desire for Peace
emanon ,   USA   (04.09.08)
Yes, once again, the adherents of the Religion of Peace are spreading their word throughout the region. Wake Up! It is not about land it is about the annihilation of all non-muslims in the world and Israel is the closest target.
2. Halt the Qassams launched at the western Negev.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (04.09.08)
What is the Israeli government waiting for in order to put an end to the rocket and mortar attacks fired by Gaza terrorists at Israel. The right decision would be to destroy the Hamas regime in Gaza, and suspending the negotiations for a final status agreement with Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas. Israel has the duty to defend its citizens, not with moderation, but with all its might. A formal decision should be taken to completely eradicate missile attacks launched from Gaza as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5wv
3. Attack on Nahal Oz
Richard R. ,   USA   (04.09.08)
I have been sitting in front of my computer trying to decided what to say about this incident. ( 1 ) Is Barak at fault? ( 2 ) Is Olmert at fault? ( 3 ) Is the Israel army at fault? You no the answer ! Everybody is at Fault. From taking away the weapons from the settlers to cow down to condole Rice, To being afraid to tell the United State, United Nation, and the rest of the world enough is enough ( Never Again ) We hold our own fate in our hands ! We must teach the world a lesson once and for all. Israel will not give up anymore land for peace until the other side proves that they really want peace, which has not happen. Do i have an answer on what we should do! Yes i do! first Step bring the IDF back up to standards that we were durring the Yom Kipper War! (2) The hammus must be taught a lesson that the world won't forget! (3) If the Arab world starts yelling who cares This is Israel Life that is at stake, (4) If Iran starts something, well i don't have to say what we should do. EVERYBODY NO'S WHAT THAT IS. Yes the United States is our great friend and brother and sister but some time family dieagree it happens, and we get over it. So i say this with my heart! Israel as moses lead us out of Egypt and to the Jordan river And he saw ERAZ YIS ISRAEL we must remember God gave us Israel not to lose but our nation, our home land, our county, May god wake up our leaders to the reality and bring the Star of King David to the for front. God Bless Israel and there people.
4. Nachal Oz Voted For This
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (04.09.08)
In the last elections, they voted overwhelmingly for Labor and Kadima and Meretz: http://www.knesset.gov.il/elections17/heb/Results/ballot_results.asp?city=844 These bleeding hearts cause Jewish hearts all over Israel to bleed. Will they learn? I doubt it.
5. So were they Terrorists or Gunmen? Oh, it's the same thing.
Miriam ,   Israel   (04.09.08)
6. You can thank me later
Ehud Olmert ,   Ramallah   (04.09.08)
7. They were probably refugees. Ask Moshe Dayan.
Naftali Lavie ,   Toronto, Canada   (04.09.08)
In his eulogy for Ro’i Rotenberg of Nahal Oz, April 29, 1956, Dayan is reported to have said the following: ”Let us not today cast blame on the murderers. What can we say against their terrible hatred of us? For eight years now, they have sat in the refugee camps of Gaza, and have watched how, before their very eyes we have turned their land and villages, where they and their forefathers previously dwelled, into our home. It is not among the Arabs of Gaza, but in our own midst that we must seek Ro'i's blood. How did we shut our eyes and refuse to look squarely at our fate and see, in all its brutality, the fate of our generation?" This is not propaganda, but the harsh truth. This harsh truth is doubly true 52 years later: Until the refugees are permitted to return, there will be no peace.
8. God bless you Richard, #3..& Emanon #1....
william ,   seattle, wa, USA   (04.09.08)
What you statements reflect the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth... The IDF should have no mercy and take no prisoners once the shooting starts...
9. DOWN WITH OLMERT who's to blame for this!
Miriam ,   Israel   (04.09.08)
OLMERT IS NEGLECTED THE SECURITY OF THIS STATE! Olmert released these terrorists from jail. Olmert supplied these terrorists with the weapons to kill Israelis. Olmert removed dangerous roadblocks from where these terrorists came into Israel. Olmert allows rocks to be thrown at Israeli citizens by the terrorists and imprisons Israeli Jews if they fight back. OLMERT IS A DANGER TO THE COUNTRY! HE MUST BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY! He should have been removed after the Winograd Report. What happened to that? Why is the media silence about it?
10. PLEASE SEND MORE HUMANITARIAN AID!! ... AND FUEL!!
m ,   Toronto   (04.09.08)
Oh yeah! and dismantle more checkpoints!!
11. Thank G-d they didn't try to kidnap children.............

12. #7 Naftali Lavie
Moriah ,   sacramento,USA   (04.09.08)
Quit spamming with that garbage. Jews are not to blame for the violence directed at them. We don't have to apologize and commit suicide by giving the enemy guns and then letting hundreds of thousands "return" because you don't get it. You're feeling guilty because you are a Jew? Too bad. Israel is our home, we aren't leaving, and if we're not there yet, WE ARE COMING BY THE THOUSANDS -- NOT THE SO-CALLED "REFUGEES!" We are coming and we will not lay down for you, the government or the enemy! We will fight for what is ours, and our childrens and our grandchildren's. This land is G-d's and he gave it to us. And my grandchildren's grandchildren will live on it and work it and worship the ONE AND ONLY G-d on it!
13. WELL DUUUUUHHHHH !
(04.09.08)
IT NEVER HAPENED BEFORE TO US SO, OBVIOUSLY HOW COULD IT HAPPEN NOW ? 7000 ROCKETS, SUROUNDED BY MILLIONS OF JEHADIANS ! WARY AS IN: wary Pronunciation: \ˈwer-ē\ Function: adjective Inflected Form(s): war·i·er; war·i·est Etymology: 1ware, from Middle English war, ware, from Old English wær careful, aware, wary; akin to Old High German giwar aware, attentive, Latin vereri to fear, Greek horan to see Date: 15th century : marked by keen caution, cunning, and watchfulness especially in detecting and escaping danger SHOCKED ? WHAT THEN WARM FUZZY AND UNDERSTANDING ? C'MON EFRAT INFLENCED THE HEADING ?
14. Gazan can be attacked day and night - but not Israelis!
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (04.09.08)
Palestinians must realize that only Zionists are allowed to plunder, steal and kill; God gave the land and the water to the Jews; Palestinians have to remain locked up in their bantustans and make do with whatever is left after the chosen people has taken what it wants.
15. What's the name of leftist "intellectual"
tame kum   (04.10.08)
who live in Nahal ? Was he there or just speaking around in Europe meanwhile others die protecting him?
16. Scary
(04.10.08)
Israel was fortunate in that the infiltrators were stopped. Things could have gotten much worse. What if there had been a mass infliltration into Israel the way as happened in Egypt recently? We would have had a bad situation there. I pray that Israel stays prepared, and that everyone stays safe.
17. They came to throw Jews out of Gaza and no one cared...
Al   (04.10.08)
They are bombing Sderot Nahal Oz etc and no one gives a damn. WEelcome to a land where no one cares.Modern Zionism is a fraud. Settling the land without regard for G-d leads to this. Israel is G-d's Land,when you dont respect that then that land will purge you Get ready to rumble...you are in for a long bloody war.

Moshe Dayan also said: Have we forgotten that this group of young people dwelling at Nahal Oz is bearing the heavy gates of Gaza on its shoulders? Beyond the furrow of the border, a sea of hatred and desire for revenge is swelling, awaiting the day when serenity will dull our path, for the day when we will heed the ambassadors of malevolent hypocrisy who call upon us to lay down our arms. Roi's blood is crying out to us and only to us from his torn body. Although we have sworn a thousandfold that our blood shall not flow in vain, yesterday again we were tempted, we listened, we believed. We will make our reckoning with ourselves today; we are a generation that settles the land and without the steel helmet and the cannon's maw, we will not be able to plant a tree and build a home. Let us not be deterred from seeing the loathing that is inflaming and filling the lives of the hundreds of thousands of Arabs who live around us. Let us not avert our eyes lest our arms weaken. This is the fate of our generation. This is our life's choice - to be prepared and armed, strong and determined, lest the sword be stricken from our fist and our lives cut down. The young Roi who left Tel Aviv to build his home at the gates of Gaza to be a wall for us was blinded by the light in his heart and he did not see the flash of the sword. The yearning for peace deafened his ears and he did not hear the voice of murder waiting in ambush. The gates of Gaza weighed too heavily on his shoulders and overcame him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roi_Rutenberg The harsh truth, Mr. Lavie, is that Arabs cannot and will not accept a Jewish presence here. It has nothing do with so-called peace.
