1. Why doesn't barak go after the pali terrorists
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.06.08)
like they were Jews? Or does he only have guts to make a war on Jews and not arabs? I think that his time spent in politics shows what a total coward he has turned into. He is like a soldier with shell shock. We need someone to defend Jews and Israelis whatever the cost to the enemy!
2. Revenge settlers violence???
Jayjay ,   Israel   (12.06.08)
What type of slanderous headline is this? Wheres the justification in using this headline to try and justify terrorist acts by Arabs? Is the settlers the real reason they are sending missiles over the border to start with?? NO!
3. Ashraf Jomaa, the Fatah Bugler and Inciter to Murder
Lowell ,   Ramat Ilan, Israel   (12.06.08)
There is an Aesop's fable about a bugler who is captured after a war. As per the custom then, all prisoners were either put to death or sold into slavery. The bugler begged for mercy but the victors reminded him that it was his clarion call that goaded his comrades into battle, ferociously spurring them on to slay their enemies. Therefore, he was as guilty as if he had had a weapon. In fact, they added, his weapon - his bugle - killed far more of the enemy than swords and arrows. He was duly put to death. Now, the question is this: Why is this Palestinian MP and Fatah member Ashraf Jomaa – Fatah, that is, a member of the party of our “peace partners, a “moderate” - who has called on armed elements in Fatah to carry out terror attacks against Israelis – not in the sights of the IDF? He is that very bugler in the Aesop’s tale.

And the cowardly so called defence minister better known as minister of evictions Barak has only time to concentrate on his new porfolio.EVICT JEWS FROM THIER HOMES AT NIGHT.Hamas can continue open handed.They need the practice that if the coward might want to do something they will say BOOOOOO and he will run.
5. Support for Sderot's struggle
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.08)
The inhabitants of Sderot understans that there is no way that the Arabs in particular, and the Muslims in general, can or will accept the permanent existence of a Jewish, that is to say a non-Arab, non-Muslim state, in the heart of what is regarded to be an Arab-Islamic homeland. There is no Muslim leader who would dare to relinquish any portion of the Holy Land, small as it might be, in order to allow the "Jewish infidels" to establish their legitimately, independent presence on it. Palestine, as far as the Muslims are concerned, contains only Muslim holy places and is regarded to be a Muslim, religious endowment. In their eyes, it is exclusively Islamic, and the claim of any non-Muslim to any part of it on historical or religious grounds is false as explained at : http://xrl.us/biz8x
6. Israel's response ,attack Hebron Jews
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.06.08)
The nation of Israel has become certifiablly insane and is not longer able to defend herself but now attacks it's own body and aids those intent on destroying Israel.
7. al jazeera style
Joseph D ,   Italy   (12.06.08)
Palestinian killed in Gaza Two Qassam rockets and a mortar shell landed near a southern Kibbutz earlier in the day. No injuries or damages were reported in the attack. A short while earlier, sources in Gaza reported that a 21-year-old member of the Popular Resistance Committees was killed while attempting to plant an explosive device near the Gaza fence. The sources said the Salah al-Din Brigades member was killed by an IDF shell. However, the army denied that the man was killed by IDF fire. YNET like AL JAZEERA? puh
8. abbas will attack Israel until there's nothing left
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (12.06.08)
Imagine if the "palestinians" did get all of Israel (G-d forbig and WILL forbid). They these terrorists will just start killing each other - LOL!Check out www.mererhetoric.com. They quote abbas as saying he does NOT want a two-state solution; he wants ALL of Israel. With dhimmis in the White House and Israel's leaders giving everything away, he's getting closer and closer. I praise the brave settlers who fight back. G-d bless them!

10. Off goes the siren, just as I was enjoying
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (12.06.08)
my dinner, they have no manners whatsoever. Outside the children were playing, its amazing they did not panic, just walked into the nearest house and into their safe room. (Mine included) We will survive. But not with the help of morons like Barak, Perese and Olmert. Livni, show us some spunk if you want to be PM. or else I can see our Army taking over.
11. WHERE IS THE BRAVE WARRIOR BARAK NOW???
Ben Avraham ,   Tel Aviv   (12.06.08)
12. Barak is not a coward!
Yonah ,   Hebron   (12.06.08)
Cancer is a disease in which normal cells suddenly become cancerous and start destroying the whole body. They don't care that they will die with the body. All they care about is that they must kill all the good cells. Barak is one of these cancer cells. He refuses to be a Defense Minister. Rather, he prefers to destroy our homeland, to steal homes from people in Hebron, Amona or any place that his fellow cancers, Olmert, Dichter, Livni and company agree on.
13. The impact on diaspora Jewry
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (12.06.08)
Even diaspora Jews who love Israel have to wonder if Israel is turning inot the thing that Ben Gurion and the founders feared the most----a passive and appeasing shetl. It is understandable that the government does not want to take action against an entrenched terrorist gang and suffer high Israeli casualties. However, pretending that Fatah is "moderate" and continuing to release terrorist prisoners as a gesture of good will towards a group that is firing rockets at Sderot and Ashkelon is crazy. Instead, the govt. has refused to send adequate funds to fortify Sderot, despite the government's lack of interest in ending the rocket barrage. At the same time, the government has demonized the settlers in order to take the puplic's mind off of their incompetence in dealing with the rockets. Jews were proud of little Israel in 1967. They saw Israel as a true Jewish haven that would do everything possible to protect its citizens. Now they see a corrupt, complacent Israeli government that refused to win a war against a few thousand Hezbollah terrorists and acountry that does not care for its citizens.
