we pay you for,hit them hard.What the hell are you waiting for ? The problem with with this goverment they have no balls.We need Arik Sharon,he would know what to do.

So long as rockets fire on Israeli towns and villages we have a long way to go before we can boast about our success.

act accordig to your interest. HAMAS prepared lots of traps, if you´re going in as usual. Use your special forces. Take them by surprise, use deception, don´t hesitate

While Sderot is being rocketed you are taking the time to discuss "the extent of action".

All we get is blah, blah, blah - excuses, deception, subterfuges, deceit, spin, outright lies, inept diplomacy, scoring political points, endless manoeuvering & squabbling, self-interest, & shortsightedness. In effect, we don't have a functioning gov't. There is no point to a Gaza operation & the sacrifice of soldier's lives if the end result is a phoney ceasefire. There is no point to a "medium size" military operation meant only as a publicity stunt for Olmert. There is no point to a ceasefire under any conditions. And there is no point, certainly, in the continuation of this gov't.

because they know empty drums make a lot of noise.

It is clear that the present Gov. does not know the word "courage" and "honor" I have not seen any place in the World where Terrorism on such a scale for so many years is not responded to with force. The only thing Olmet and friends are willing to do is to have a once a week meeting around a table and talk about abstract things, but action please Hum ! NO. It is tooooo hard. There is Zero chance to solve this situation as long as this kind of people will sit at the table. Election NOW....please

Best to have immediate elections now, and let Bibi do the job properly!

My heart goes out to you, you are so RIGHT! Why don't you start some sort of action group Terry or website that us Israelis can subscribe to and build some sort of following? We've got to do something. And fast!!

it's easy going in but very difficult to pull out. is there a plan what will be when we pull out.? I would not want to lose one soldier or see one injured for nothing. and lately all what ohlmert has done is make things worse. he really should go home and stay home. his word is not a word. his travels are unnecesssary. he reallyis good for nothing.

There is nothing more pathetic than a government who forever talks and threatens and has not the courage to back it up.It seems that cowardice and corruption go hand in hand with Kadima and Labour.

because they borned chickens. why they borned chickens ? once open a time, there was olmert land good people serious peace efforts one day people of olmert land forced olmert to war than all those good people lost its fly SINCE THAT TIME, CHICKENS DONT FLY :)

IF...Hamas would stop firing qassams and insured other terror activities will stop....and eventualy Hamas might even find israelis that will help improve the wellbeing of palistinians....

Turn off the supply line. Not just some of it, all of it. Not just for limited time either, make it until they prove they can act like human beings. No more medical aid, no more money, no water, no food, no fuel and no more electricity. Then demand that they end all attacks for at least as long as they have been attacking (8 years and counting) and return Shalit otherwise we will clear territory to remove our people from their range and it will be on their side of the border that they are cleared.

It's hard to take the Israeli government seriously when it's run by Moe, Larry, and Curly.

As stated in this talkback earlier, please get back on your medication before it is too late. The imams are coming for you with a white coat.
