1. Not so fast, please!
David ,   Brazil   (06.07.08)
Before Gaza, Israelis must wait for another way more vital development. It is a known secret, that Mr.Ehud 1 left Washington with a thick brochure, entitled 'How to learn to fly an F-22, in just 2,859 readings". He will receive his 'wings' in about 2 days. Then, with the almighty assistance, that attorney-at-unlawful will leave Israel once and for all, changing his permanent place of residence to Uganda, in operation EBETNE, aka ENTEBE backwards. From there, Ehud 1 (with the paramount colaboration of his agents in place, Ehud 2, Livni, Fuad and Mofaz), will launch a devastating strike against Ahmadinejad & his Imam nazis. According to reliable sources, following the successful termination of the 'Iranian file', oBeration 'Gaza Schmaza' will be sanctioned by Condi.
2. Lesson to Hamas
Friend of Israel ,   Portugal   (06.07.08)
Mister Prime Olmert! When you realise the lesson to hamas they are killing your people! Please remember the other former Prime in Israel they act like man... also Golda Meir ;)
3. Ready!
Arie ,   BaGolan   (06.07.08)
Everyone is ready to protect the sovereignty of our state: the IDF; the people. Everyone that is ---- except olmert, barak, livni,meretz,and the arab 5th columnites
4. I have to wonder who is really behind the Muslim attacks on
Rivkah   (06.07.08)
Israel and the Jews. Who paid Muslim mercenaries to subdue the brief Spanish Republic after the Jesuits were thrown out of Spain under General Franco who was a front man for a Jesuit General? Hmmm. Sounds like Roman Catholic skulduggery since the Roman Catholic church paid even Mohammed to fight the other ethnic tribes to found Islam long ago. Why is the USA badgering tiny Israel to give up land for peace they know is a sham peace when there is so much more land to acquire for Palestinians in the 22 Arab nations from the Ottoman Empire? Could it be the US Congress is now Roman Catholic by majority? The US Congress is required by the US Constitution to protect the States from invasion, but has failed to do so. Twenty million illegals in America, mostly Roman Catholics, is a conservative estimate. Bob Trefz in his Cherith Chronicles talks about the Roman Catholic provocations of WWI and WWII. Remember that Adolf Hitler was Roman Catholic. He said the RC Church is furious at America for thwarting Roman Catholic agendas in WWI and WWII. Was the SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 attack on the WTC towers a retaliation for the 1641 September 11 attack of Oliver Cromwell on a Catholic city in Ireland that resulted in an almost equal number of dead: 3,000+ people? When President Bush go on Air Force One (plane) after the 9/11 attack for his safety, the secret Air Force One codes were sending Bush a message to attack Iraq in a Crusade or get shot down by a missile in America. He folded and found a way to attack Iraq for the Vatican, is Bob Trefz's belief. The Vatican hates the Jews for keeping a Saturday Sabbath and resisting the Roman Catholic corruption of the religion of Yeshua they call Jesus. Was the Vatican behind the slaughter of Jews in Nazi Germany? They helped Nazis escape via a "rat line" after WWII. IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH BEHIND THE MUSLIM ATTACKS ON ISRAEL?
5.  gaza decision in days
Jim ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.07.08)
Army is ready for Gaza operation, waiting for Olmert to make final decision. The photo of olmert says it all, ( Do I defend my people or not ) or ( Will I be indicted or not )
6. Invaition so What after
Civil Gazan ,   Palestine   (06.07.08)
the what calld IDF will invait gaza kill thousands of civiliance and mya be 10s of his souldurs will be killed, but what after this you will not defeat Hamas because of one thing it is not an army, it is a nation and to defeat Hamas you have to kill 1.5m people in gaza and same in WB and Al quds, in addetion to the refugee. Dont do wars on behalf of US , remember lebanon defeat, ans same will be in Gaza. Accept Hudna it is better to every one except Olmert since he wants to cover his corruption!
7. To #4
MK ,   Atlanta, USA   (06.07.08)
Lady, you need to crush some more tin foil onto your "conspiracy helmet".
8. Olmert and Courage what a mix !
AlbertoGa ,   St. George, UT. USA   (06.07.08)
They sure do not get along. How about the destruction of lives of Israelis. The diplacement of Israelis from Gaza. Gaza is not Egyptian, not Hamas land. It is a pure invention of the people who think that Land for Peace is the solution. Now the situation is so bad that dear Mr. Olmert need Aspirins. It is time Mr. Olmert to stop procrastinating. Destroy the Hamas NOW. And for good this time. Then the Iranian Mullahs will understand that Terrorism does not pay.
9. don't wait for oldmert, he's on vacation.
(06.07.08)
10. One might as well wait for the cows to come home
Jack ,   San Diego, USA   (06.07.08)
11. Ah Rivkah if it's not the Spirit of Peace that's behind it,
the only entity left ,   is the Anti-who?   (06.07.08)
12. One side is drawing up a peace deal, one side is waging war.
Am I the only one ,   confused here?   (06.07.08)
13. #6 Accept the three conditions
RickD   (06.07.08)
Then we'll talk. If Hamas really wants an accommodation with Israel then it would accept the intl community's three conditions for engagement: accept Israel's right to exist, renounce violence, honor past agreements. If Hamas continues to refuse then we know that the truce is only so they can rearm themselves. If it's true that every Pal supports Hamas then there will be eternal war, until all are destroyed. Somehow I think it's not true. Following the strong horse and all that. Hamas can be destroyed, as can its rulers in Teheran.
14. We should be very suspicious of Olmert's motives.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.07.08)
Olmert has his own agenda - not Israel's agenda. As much as I favour tough action on Gaza, I do not trust Olmert/Barak/Livni either to manage successfully a military operation or to have well-thought-out goals. But especially, I question the motives. While pretending that this is a response to terrorism or to force Hamas into a truce, what if the motive is to hand Gaza over to Abbas? Is this the role of the IDF? This gov't. cannot be trusted.
15. #6 How sad that you are satisfied that you choose to stay w/
hamas when they keep ,   you so uneducated.   (06.07.08)
16. #8Olmert & Courage? Yeah that's an oxymoron for sure isn't
it? ,   Maurie, Israel   (06.07.08)
17. #9 On vacation? So that's what he's doing here in Israel!!!!
Rueben ,   Israel   (06.07.08)
18. #14 I agree, this govt. could never be trusted from day 1.
Rueben ,   Israel   (06.07.08)
19. #14If that is Olmert's motives, Hamas will crush Abbas when
the IDF pulls back ,   out of Gaza.Shlomo   (06.07.08)
20. 11: It is more likely the False Prophet who will
Rivkah   (06.07.08)
tell people to get the mark of the Beast (political entity AntiChrist) which is on the forehead or the right hand and could be an implanted RFID radioactive iridium in glass case the size of a grain of rice....OR a radioactive invisible RFID tatoo on the forehead or hand. Remember that the devil likes to imitate God. God's mark on the forehead of his real followers is invisible.
21. 11: How do you kill a venomous snake and keep it from biting
(06.07.08)
you again and again and again? Do you grab it by the tail and twist around negotiating a peace with the snake? Do you throw stones at it and wound it, hoping it will go away and not come back to strike another day? Do you collect all the hollow snake shedded snake skins and negotiate with them for peace? No. You cut off the head and burn out the den.
22. 11: Oliver Cromwell attacked Catholic Ireland in 1641
(06.07.08)
which resulted in 3,000+ Catholic deaths of men with arms because the Catholics had just slaughtered 300,000 Protestants in Ireland. It was rather like Nazi Germany without the camps since the people were killed out right. Women were tied to trees or poles and their breasts cut off with sheers so they would bleed to death. Unborn babies were cut out of their mothers and smashed in front of the fathers. Sounds like the Nazis under Hitler, doesn't it with Dr. Josef Mengele and his experiments. If Catholics would do that to Protestants they befriended and pretended to accept as they are doing now with Protestant churches and they did in France before slaughtering the Hugenot Protestant in one night, WHAT do you think they will do to the Jews in Israel? That should be an encouragement to every able bodied young Israeli to do IDF duty or National Service time.
23. ohlmert - decision on what will be in Gaza
sas ,   isreal   (06.07.08)
he has nothing to worry about. his wife and childen are out of the country. he has no one in the army and he certainly does not behave as if he cares for the ones that are. the man is a selfish crook and he needs to go on trial and then to jail. he murdered and injured hundreds with his dumb decision to go to war 2 years ago. let's not even discuss all his monkey business with $$$$$$
24. to declare beforehand is to lose
(06.07.08)
Judas went to the chief priests , for which he was paid the sum of 30 pieces of silver. Olmert has already gone to the supreme priests, has taken the 30 silvers, but he forget an important aspect; he has not followed the advice of not telling his intention. Had Judas told Jesus he would kiss him the last one, no crucification would have done and the Jewish state would not have seen the light.
25. Gaza operation
Ben ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.07.08)
Our politicians are so busy trying to make names for themselves, so why don't we take FULL PAGE ADVERTISEMENTS in all the world's major news papers to warn our enemies exactly when we are coming! It is only fair after all, so that they can prepare themselves and kill more of our boys. Thank goodness these politician guys were not around in 1967.
26. #24 Wrong, when Judas kissed him the disciples started to
phyllis ,   Israel   (06.07.08)
fight the soldiers and Jesus told them to "Put your swords down. This has to happen". He knew yet, went through it all anyway.
27. #21 Ok, but what does that have to do with #11's comment.
Confused reader ,   Israel   (06.07.08)
28. He Said Means Nothing, While IAEA Fumes
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (06.07.08)
Regarding forewarning the Pals in the Strip, oh give me a break, as if they cannot see for themselves what's going on in Israel. The secret is out when numbers of tanks, APC, etc., are out there in the public's eye, massing around the entire area, at select entry points. The increased IDF activity has to be known by Pals spies within and without Israel I'm sure satellites over Israel are relaying real time info to the Hamas thugs in Rafah and elsewhere..by way of Russia, China, etc. So let's get off this forewarning nonsense. The real question is, what can Israel effectively do to stop the Kassams and bleed Hamas..and not just for a few days or weeks? Israel moved the IDF out during the disengagement, which was a big mistake, 20-20. Now it may go back..over a few deaths. Is that smart? The real enemy is Iran, with the IAEA sticking their offensive noses in that arena, not to stop Iran's pursuit, but a cabinet minister's threats. Iran has violated 3 UNSC resolutions..yet the Egyptian born leader condemns an innocuous threat by a lower level Israeli leader. And the farce and charade goes on by both sides..while Iran has 15,000 centrifuges working 24-7.
