all of a sudden we woke up to a new reality - the security establishment, whose task is to protect this country announces proudly to us, which dangers are about to fall on us ( or our heads). Olmert advises Sderot residents to get used to Kassmas as there's no magic solution, Barak hurls around empty threats to Hamas( we know the value of your threats Mr Barak, to a poin that Arafat once said about you - He may go to hell), Mr Dichter provides us regularly with cheer-uppers on which city will be targeted next, Olmert returns the Golan to Syria, Peres says he didn't expect Kassams after the disengagement... WHAT IS IT? I would never believe that Israel will become so meek and impotenet? Maybe the Arabs are right - it's time we packed out things and went back to Galut?

This is exactly was was predicted. Israel is failing because it chooses corrupt leaders.

Hizbullah and Iran and Syria...

SURRENDER, THE GILAT SHALIT KIDNAP WAS PART OF THE CONSPIRACY. OLMERT AN HIS MK ARE AGENTS OF THE EVIL AXIS !!!

Why doesn't the stupid government listen to the advice of top Shabak men and generals instead of mouthing scripts dictated by US presidents and EU 'do-gooders', which distort the security issues and spread the myth of a 'peace-process' with the arabs? Thirteen odd years ago, during the witch-hunt of opponents to the leftist 'peace-process,' Israelis who said , "Give them Gaza and you'll have rockets in Ashkelon" were considered right-wing fanatics and warmongers. The bad feeling in the country and our leaders' arrogance and contempt for the views of half the population contributed to Rabin's assassination, which was in the circumstances inevitable

All his critics must admit that Ariel Sharon was right when he said the fate of Tel Aviv is the fate of Netzarim

As long as our elite Herzelists can make money on the stock exhange, drink their caffe lattes, plan their next trip abroad and watch their mindless TV shows, who cares. Besides that, as long as a rocket does not hit my house I do not give a damn, in short your average Israeli Herzelist mentality. These people are tired of winning and many other things except partying and it shows in every other way, as a bunch of spineless loosers. Meanwhile Olmert is waiting for some more cash advances , in order to live a good life abroad. The decisive point has already been made by Hamas and co and we are going to get a massive beating. The question is will that wake up our fine Elitist ,the media, our liberal rifraf and other elevated humanists.

Since Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005 Iranian-backed Hamas, which is pledged to wipe out Israel and every Jew, has built a well-trained standing army of at least 20,000 men and a huge arsenal of weapons smuggled in from Egypt, and relentlessly attacks Israel with rockets and bombs. Israel should finally mount a major incursion into Gaza to deal with Hamas. If it does, Western opinion, which largely ignores Israeli aximize tion, can be guaranteed to cry ‘atrocity’ once again. And just as before, Hamas will deliberately place women and children in the line of fire to aximize civilian casualties in order further to inflame that opinion. That is their way of “fighting” as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi9r6

It's only a matter of time until Hamas provokes Israel to the point that Israel annihilates them assuming that Israel has strong leadership willing to make that decision - which is not presently the case. The snake's head will eventually also have to be dealt with and until Iran is put out of the terror business there will never be anything close to what passes for peace in the Middle East.

your average shawarma guzziling, hairy chested, gold medallion wearing taxi driver knew this 3 years ago!!!! they really do think we are stupid, Olmert really thinks he can get away with not pretecting the people of Sderot, and the sacry thing is, he can. we, as the public should be angry with our selves for the terrible level of apathy we show. he would'nt be able to get away with it if we did'nt allow him.

Kiryat Gat and Sderot "due to security situation in the area" and then evacuate Haifa, Tel-Aviv and Hertzelia Pituach. Slowly but surely the Leftists and Peace-Now will have peace.

please ask your government not to kill babies and childern in gaza.or your want be like nazies. 60 years of killing poor palestinian is enogh.In the west you wont be loved anymore. We see what you are doing. Genocide Genocide genocide

The "Palestinian" population grows every year. In a real genocide, like the ones the Arabs are committing in southern Sudan against the blacks, the population decreases significantly. By the way, the Western world is also looking outside its collective window and watching Muslim immigrants burning their cars.
