It gets you nowhere. Decide when and where, and you go full force. Enough with the senseless killing of Israelis. This is our homeland.

After so long they still cant stop the quassam & mortar fire from Gaza. How very sad, how very weak. Victims should sue government for their accountabilty due to their ineptness.

palestinians cheering in gaza? they think they're worthy of a country? they're barely human anymore. and now when israeli strikes them, several will die and they will die and will wonder why. they'll think they're dying because of "occupation," but they're dying because they are one of the stupidest people on earth.

Don't wait any longer. Don't expect peace with the Palestinians. It's not happening. After exiting Gaza did it get any better?? Keep the West Bank. No more territory for "palestinians". They already have a state in Jordan.

I just dont understand the Israeli governemnt any more. If Palestinians cheer, target them, and then we shall see if they keep on cheering, they are dying of hunger anyway. Pathetic that people from my country are dying, and with our all mighty army, we do nothing, except apologize for killing them. I say, let us cheer at the site of their destruction!

I thought that israel protected its citizens no matter what. Its sure to say that israel is the only country in the world living in constant bombardment. This situations inst acceptable, i would trade the whole city of gaza for only one israel citizen, if it means that israel citizens will be safe from terrorists. If this triggers a war with other arab countries, so be it, at least it will be a war of armies / nations, which we were born to do.

"People in mosques across Gaza were heard cheering and calling Allahu Akbar" Are you surprised?.During WW 2 they were with the Nazis.

To Micha: This is senseless. As an American Zionist Jew, I am shocked and dismayed at the ineptitude of your current gov't. I would ask Bibi what he would do if he were the PM, then call for new elections. If Olmert is indicted, he will resign. The real question then should be what next and who? Can Israel tell Condi where to get off (Bush). Will Obama be pliable or will he go with his advisers Baker, re: Israel, Iraq and Iran? Israel needs to get itself together...it's quarreling truly, will be it's destruction. It has lost it's way, in all the confusion. Remember 500,000 Jews were gassed, shot and burned alive in Auschwitz in 6 weeks, in 1944 (Hungarian Jews). No one aided them..no one cared. It was all about politics and Jew hatred. Israel still has the high ground. The Pals have nothing..but they are getting stronger, with help from Hez and Iran. Israel needs to hit back hard (er) after Kassam attacks. Taking out Gaza City would be a start. Then Khan Younis, etc. Israel cannot bide it's time..time is against it.

Time to take them to the Haque or cemetary, whichever is easier. This cancer cannot be allowed to spread.

You are going down in a ball of flame while your leaders are selling you down the river.

Israel left the Gaza Strip over two years ago, with no intention of ever returning, yet, the continued escalation of Hamas terrorism emanating from Gaza, purposely targeting Israeli civilians, is liable to leave Israel with no choice. Hamas regime is bringing a Holocaust upon its people. In order to end their misery, the inhabitant of gaza should think about emigrating discretely to other Arab countries before it is too late. That is the real solution to their distress as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8

hamas repeatedly admits that they will use the "lull" to rearm so they can strike again and olmert says "OK" : hamas admits they will keep killing Isaelis and olmert says ok; hamas wants an end to the Jewish State and condi rice says "works for me"

...then flatten and destroy the cesspit called Gaza.Enough with the warnings and threats.Carpet bomb Hamas and use napalm if necessary.no mercy.same goes for Hezbollah on Israel's northern border.Both terrorist groups threaten Israel's existence.Enough with the complacency!!!!!!! it costs lives.

why dont we strike these militants BEFORE they attack? why do we need to wait till after one of our own is killed before we make a move? I realize that our gov't is inept but seriously this is ridiculous. It's a very simple strategy, if you are a terrorist you should be targeted and destroyed before you are able to carry out any attacks. This isn't rocket science

Sorry, you are wrong: We ALREADY sold out. We are in the stage of the last treatments now.... Soon Israel will be only an episode in the younger history... My question is: What kind of people are the Jews of Israel which such "leaders"?

We declare a war on Hammas and write them all off ones for all.

When Israel pulled out of Gaza, the world waited to see what the Palestinians would make of it, as a prelude to their having a full state including the West Bank. The first thing the Palestinians did was smash all the greenhouses the settlers had built, instead of using them to aid their economy. Then they turned Gaza into a mini-terror state, launching a war against Israel that continues to this day. And now they wonder why life in Gaza is so wretched, when it could have flourished. To those who say we should not isolate Hamas: Hamas isolated itself, with its aggression not only against Israel but also against other Palestinians. When the aggression will stop, the isolation will stop. But the aggression will never stop as long as Palestinian extremists continue to enjoy support from their self-righteous cheering section, which has chapters all over the world and in many universities and trade unions as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi7j5
