If Israel's leaders have any brains left they will reject all offers of 'ceasefire' and prepare to decimate the enemy, once and for all. Further, if the Pals try and flood Israel's crossings and attempt to break through, the orders to the Jewish army must be SHOOT TO KILL!

"Accept my terms or I'll kill you!" Has anybody bothered to tell them that negotiation means "give-&-take", not "you give, I take"? Presenting an "ultimatum like this is just a simple bullying tactic, worthy of a Mafia strongarm bully. Aside from that, if "the siege on the Gaza Strip was failing", I doubt that Hamas would be so eager to demand a cease-fire of any kind.

LETS SEE WHO WILL COUNT THE CASUALTIES IN THE END!!! BRING IT ON!!! WE'RE WAITING!!

Seriously stupid people. Really.

If any body had some hope to stop the violence, well here it is. The problem Israel has now is a Mr. Olmert with many personal problems. He is not able to take any serious action. This is the reason Hamas is Arogant. It is time to Stop the Circus.

hamas is a joke nothing to worry about

....FINISH, no OLMERT TO PROTECT YOU PALS. WE WILL HAVE A NEW LEADERS AND YOU ARE FINISHED ! NO BODY CARES A FXXX FOR YOU UNGRATEFUL PALESTINIANS ANYMORE !

It will be a beautiful day when the hands of the shackled warrior are freed and they can eliminate once and for all the arab plankton occupying the Jews God given land. Godspeed Israel.

If israel stops firing than hamas will take over them

Hamas' leaders need to grow up and smell the coffee. They don't have the upper hand and, by these types of statements, couldn't adequately handle power even if Israel handed it over. They'd begin cannibalizing their own people into servitude.

Especially when you are in Canada!

It could be a funny joke if it wasn't that sad... Israel has lost its deterrence power to a point that any terrorist scum can dictate terms to Israel... instead of a decisive militray action against the Hamas rats IDF is engaged in tit-for-tat duel, losing soldiers and civilians. It's a no brainer - a decisive, well-fought war saves more lives and exterminate the possibility of warfare between warring parties. Israel has a superior hand, but it doesn't have a political will. In a way Israel reminds a black-belt karate guy who is thouroughly thrashed by hoodlums in the backstreet, and to the question why didn't you fight back? you're so much stronger! says - Nooooo, I couldn't... I could have killed somebody... I'm so strong...

I think its disgusting how isreal have not continued to find there man which caused the war 2 year ago they shud continue to bomb these bstrds till hes home or confirmed dead,,, do not leave or forget him

The IDF has you pegged for the malevolent, bearded squirrels you are.

In a gesture of good will for peace Israel should take 3000 POW to Gaza border and 7000 POW to Lebanon border and free them against 3 Israeli alive and unharmed prisoners in the hand of the Palestinian or Lebanese army. After that any hostile act toward Israel should be considered an act of war . This time the war should be not conducted for the benefit of the media or restrained by the media. All other idea will don't work and as Israel cannot give up one more square centimeter of the annexed territories for his survival the Arabs should be aware of the consequences of an all out modern war without the presence of CNN and Al Jazeera.
