1. Blame it on Jewish settlers

2. Hamas TV promotes rocket fire and terrorist attacks
Zion   (11.22.08)
Hamas like Fatah use their other face for the international media, but still promote terrorism.
3. kassams
colin   (11.22.08)
Hamas will carry on unabated as the cowardly defence minister is to busy evicting jews from thier legally bought home in hebron.Israel will have to wait until after the elections to activate the IDF to defend the state of Israel.The kassams are not on the priority of this Kadima government. All the corrupt politicians are trying to outdo each other in evicting jews before they are evicted themselves from the knesset
4. Solution: Attack and arrest the settlers

5. hamas and the "ceasefire"
tom ,   toronto, canada   (11.22.08)
it is difficult, technically, for hamas to maintain this "ceasefire", because their qassam rockets have a very limited shelf-life. hamas has converted most of the economic activity of gaza into terror-related fields, and now cannot stop making qassams, or else its workshops won't be able earn a living. but the downside is that qassams have a limited shelf-life, after which their chemicals become increasing unstable and dangerous. which is why hamas will have increasing difficulty holding its fire. yet another reason to stop this farce, and declare war on hamas - 100 rockets a week is no "ceasefire"!
6. philosphy of command
alexi   (11.22.08)
Who in their right mind talks this way in how to take out a hezbollah bunker which is boobytrapped with IEDs and hez loaded with antitank missiles and night viewing equiment. Is this a primer on taking phiosphy courses or scoring a win in a criminal case? The average person asks 2) how many soldiers do we need? 2) How do we soften up the target for ground froces 3) Can we use asymmetric means to help us as Hezbollah prodded by Iran and PLO is set up to ambush and kill regular army forces with russian antitank kornet missilses and mortars. Olmert never asked these questions of halutz, never imagined them as he also predicted fewer rockets from gaza after withdrawal and only felt problems with philosophy of command. As a narcisist who is sick, he cannot see there are problems in his character, that he is not suited for military planning. I would have told commanders to 1) use arab shields to flush bunkers and in general as 2) blow up arab fuel supples, to use firebombs on nature reserves and to use trapping encircling strategies.Odorifous bombs are particualr obnoxious to arab fighters and excrements dumped on arab bunkers should have been implemented. We all know that Ehud is hated by israelis, but they are constrained by law from harming him. And they would like to do it. What they can do is to pressure the olmert family as they are in part responsible for ehud. Just pressure this family until alizia tells ehud to step down right away. Haulmert@nick.com, infosundaysky,com, ariel olmert at sorbonne, Paris, Dana Olmert at machsom watch, aliza olmert in Jerusalem, pressure them, pressure them.
7. the other way round is correct
(11.22.08)
clashes between settlers and IDF are due to Gaza's blockade.
8. rockets
alan ,   texas   (11.23.08)
There are no jewish settlers, only Israeli citizens residing in their land. The arabs are the invaders. Kick them out. open the gaza-egypt border and push.
9. Destroy Hamas!
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.23.08)
In a video posted on a Hamas website in December, the commander of the terrorist wing of Hamas in North Gaza, Raed Said Hussein Saad (Abu Muadh), made clear that Hamas would continue fighting not “one inch of our holy land is in the hands of the Jews.” To make clear that he was talking about the destruction of Israel, as opposed to simply the West Bank, he said, “Our flag will fly on the minarets of Jerusalem, and the walls of Acre, and [in] the quarters of Haifa” – all of these are Israeli cities.
