1. To Israel: An Eye for an Eye and Then Some
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (12.19.08)
This is all getting me tired., what a joke. Israel is the laughing stock of the world. We Jews shoot ourselves in the head, neck and everywhere else it seems. Abramoff and Madoff are destroying any sympathy we have in the US (which affects Israel), and Israel is toying with retaliating against the bad cop (Islamic Jihad), the good cop Hamas, forgetting the other moderate (Fatah). My oh my, what nonsense. Islamic Jihad has a few 1,000 under arms, and can run circles around the mighty IDF with it's 5,000 tanks, 700 warplanes and 400 nukes. To Israel: just bomb their cities 24-7, until they surrender (no cease fire). Demand Shalits release, like yesterday. Start executing the 11,000 Arab prisoners..beginning with Barghouti. Aim 100 nukes at Tehran, and tell Ahmad about it, not a threat but a promise to use unless.. Then you might have a true peace.
2. This article says it all:
GUH   (12.19.08)
"Israeli soldiers entered Gaza to destroy a tunnel that the army said could have been used in a cross-border raid. In response, Palestinian militants resumed firing rockets at Israel." Who began hostilities? Take a wild guess for me.
3. Victory is the only Way!
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (12.19.08)
No more cease fires only victory that is the only way to win over our enemies.
4. Indeed it is! Otherwise you'd have to get REAL jobs.
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (12.19.08)
And isn't that your biggest fear? That's why you ruin it for all of your countrymen who DO want to be productive in life.
5. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HONESTY
dp   (12.19.08)
maybe now Israel can stop pretending
6. "Jihad Is The Only Way!"
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (12.19.08)
Morons!!
7. No. 3 +
stuart Clark ,   west sussex england   (12.19.08)
You are correct, Lest us not jump the gun! Let's see what 2009 brings, it will be a nightmare as we are all in for a shock, but the good will fight harder than the bad my friend. We will kick in later and start slow but we will defeat. Good luck to Israel. Forget what you read in the press, the Brit's are behind you! Prepare for Jan-Feb shock. (not good)
8. to #1 #2 and #3
Zuri ,   Sydney Australia   (12.20.08)
To number #1 Dav Lev, I want to thank god you are not a leader in Israel even though there is enough lunacy in some areas of government. Your views on " lets just go and bomb them" is moronic and lacking commonsense. Israel is not boasting it's power against it's enemy, Israel is constantly trying to find the right solution to stop reckless attack by the different " gangs "of Palis factions, Also I would like to remind to the honorable friend from Burbank California that it is not what Israel is CAPABLE of doing, it is what action Israel must take to SECURE it's citizen against every day surprises from different "Gangs" of Palis whom is certainly do not understand meaning of NEGOTIATING A TRUCE. Palis receiving money from varies sources, instead of building infra structure to much needed Palis, Hamas take the money or aid and pocket it right away. merchats in Gaza sponsoring kassam missiles so the food shortage will sell their stock at a higher price. they prefer to intensify conflict against Israel, which again lock future talk in circle. Palis CANNOT complain against Israel aggression until, they themselves learn the power of NEGOTIATION and talk with Israel. I like many Israelis want an end to all the fighting and want shalit back, But so far no luck to #2 Yes I am in one mind with you the more tunnels which Palis is going to dig into Israel is a THREAT to Israel security, Israel will protect it's citizens= so the answer is YES Israel will respond and stop any effort to breach security. #3 Mr. Jewish Refugee Yes to victory, however, remember Israel is a civilized country and respect common laws, it is fair to say that it is difficult task to fight against Palis who fire rocket and then hide, and no surprisingly Israel retaliate come straight after. I hope one day soon we can move on and learn how to negotiate peace, real peace there is other options, and I hope that Abbas and Hania will work toward peaceful solution
9. Is the IDF going to continue to cower and be disgraced?
GET REAL ,   USA   (12.20.08)
The entire world sees Israel as a cowardly nation that does not deserve to exist! The world sees Israel sending hundreds of daily truckloads of food and supplies to hamas gaza. And the world sees Israel supplying all the electricity, water and fuel to hamas gaza. And the world remembers the disgraceful forced evacuation of Jews from Israel Gaza a few years ago. And the world sees Israel not doing anything about getting their IDF kidnapped solder back. And the world does not care if Israel gets rocketed day and night by hamas gaza because Israel does not care!
10. #1 got it right, but hussien obama wont let you do it
jack bauer   (12.20.08)
he will simply make you take more and more terror and force you to give away everything......
11. Hitler is Laughing In His Grave
Dav Lev ,   Burbank. CAUSA   (12.20.08)
Folks, this is not about the 22 FORMER JEWISH communities and manufacturing plants in the Strip; nor Hez's partial victory over the IDF 2yrs go (thanks to the fortuitous cease fire); nor Russian "Defensive" missiles in Syria and Iran, nor Iran's over 3,000 centrifuges (for "Peaceful purposes only", nor Islamic Jihad's promise to end the so-called lull, it's about encircling, suffocating, demoralizing a small Jewish state and negating it's victories since 1947.It's time Israel and world Jewry woke up to this simple fact. I am reminded of the Chinese water torture..the last drops really get to the person, not the first. In the USA, Joe Sixpack sees Abramoff in prison and Madoff one foot in the cell. Their similarity..you guess it. Does this affect US attitudes towards Jews (and Israel). You guessed it. Condi is upset over Hamas..can do nothing about Hez..and frankly, is more than impotent now. Livni's Kadima is a joke..Barak is a moron. My choice for P.M., you guessed RIGHT, Bibi, with Lieberman as DPM. Read Kahane..going back years and weep, we didn't pay attention. He wrote, "Listen World, listen Jew". I have. Most haven't. Hitler is laughing in his grave right now..seeing the (al) mighty Jewish state bending at the knee before the G-d of Hamas and Hezbollah. Jews cry peace, Muslims cry "Jihad, jihad, jihad". To my fellow Jews: wake up.
12. War against terrorism.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.20.08)
Israel is at the forefront of the struggle against terrorism and will defend its citizens, who are exposed to this threat on a daily basis. Israel expects the nations of the world to support it in its war against those who murder women and children, by any means and with respect for neither place nor target. The murderers have no place among civilized peoples and shocks the conscience of all peace-loving nations. There is no cause that could ever justify this action. All the claims of the Arabs on The Land of Israel should be rejected as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjch4
13. Replace “peace” with strength and determination.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.20.08)
Current proposals like the Road Map are totally unworkable and should be abandoned. Considering the fact that the only possible relations between the Muslims and the non-Muslims are war or a limited ceasefire, it follows that the word “peace” should be deleted from Israel’s lexicon as well as the notion of peace with the Arabs as a viable, political possibility. The maximum that Israel can aim for is a limited ceasefire or an armistice, taking into consideration that the Arab side will violate it at any time, as the Palestinians have been proving on a daily basis since the signing of the Oslo Accords in September 1993. The solution to the Israelo-Arab problem should be find elsewhere as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi7ku
14. Islamist-Jihadists are emboldened
Brod ,   USA   (12.20.08)
Knowing that the Leftist leadership is weak, the Islamist-Jihadists are emboldened to intensify their rocket attacks on Israel. Barak has failed miserably as Defense Minister in defending and protecting Israel from external attacks.
15. "jihad and resistance were the only way."
Steve Real ,   LA   (12.20.08)
How pathetic and immature can you get? Don't you want your kids to grow up in peace or to grow up and emulate your own pathetic ways? War is not the answer. Give peace a chance. I don't understand why you can't Ghandi or Martin Luther King your way out of this situation? Are there any peace makers in Hamas or is all about waving your big gun around? Will the real Hamas leadership please stand up? or you still taking your marching orders from Tehran? Because you know Tehran likes to cause problems for other people. It's called "politikal fear conditioning"
16. Why do Islamic jihadists lie?
Steve   (12.20.08)
The Islamic Jihad said that the rockers were "in response to the crime of occupation in Gaza and the West Bank..." Why lie to the world? There is no occupation in Gaza. Rockets are in response to the occupation in Tel Aviv, Netanya, Haifa, Jerusalem and every other city in "Palestine." Why not be honest for once? Only low lifes lie. Are Islamic jihadists low life liars? At least Hamas is honest. Hamas says the Jewish occupation of the entirety of Palestine must be eliminated. Islamic Jihad on the other hand lies.
17. No. 7
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (12.20.08)
You are right that this government has already failed us during Second Lebanese War. And we cannot trust them with this one for sure. We need new government that don't just manage because they have authority, but will lead us because they have influence and trust. Please Join at: http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/ I really wish that people could comment, submit their own articles to be posted. After all we all want the safety and wholeness of Israel.
18. #2 "GUH" ..you mean "DUH"
Tunnel Vision   (12.20.08)
What stupid comments you make; a complete wanker.
19. tr
smith   (12.20.08)
I agree with number 11 He said it all
20. Jihad as an occupation
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.20.08)
Notice how the three jihadists in the photo are well fed and perfectly attired in matching jihad camouflage uniforms as they set up a rocket launch. This is the labor market in Gaza.
21. amatuer rocket club
Eric D. Corson ,   portland or usa   (12.20.08)
Here in the USA I think there are or used to be rocket clubs. It sounds as if the "Palestinians" are ahead of their Israeli counterparts. If civilians are firing from south to north why not fire amatuer rockets north to south? Of course Hamas has no control of its citizens activity, and neither would the Israeli government, right?
22. Liessssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
MEDIA = CORRUPT   (12.20.08)
Israeli soldiers entered Gaza to destroy a tunnel that the army said could have been used in a cross-border raid. In response, Palestinian militants resumed firing rockets at Israel ????????????????????????? THEY NEVER STOPPED FOR A MINUTE!
23. To #1 Dav Lev: We are also tired!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (12.20.08)
Many of us are tired of listening to people who sit on their backsides in the USA and other countries and tell us what to do! We know what to do but YOUR government calls for "restraint" and tells us we "use excessive force". This is quite sad from a country that cannot take out their own "Most Wanted", Osama bin Laden, and has killed thousands in it obsession of "occupying" Iraq and will not see the real enemy: Iran. Yes, I agree, bomb the hell out of them and force to stop terrorizing Sderot and the South. Starve them until they release our Gilad. However, we also have to live in the same world as those who love to attack Israel at any juncture and whose voices are heard on the BBC, SkyNews, CNN, FOXNews Channel and so many others. Right now a ship has arrived in Gaza with so called "humanitarian" aid and no doubt, the world will hear from them about the plight of the Gazans who have democratically brought a life of hell on themselves due to hatred and the desire to destry Israel. What about the human rights of the citizens of Sderot? Our own B'Tzelem is besotted with the poor Palestinians but we never hear them condemning those who commit acts of terrorism against our people! Yes, we do not need you to tell us what to do. We need you to tell the people how the media in your countries distorts the news to please the Arab princes and oil sheikhs. We also need the Editor of YnetNews to stop censoring talkbacks that criticize Israel's so called friends!
24. #20 gets it! Technically, IsraeliJews are "freedom fighters"
5th generation ,   Israel   (12.20.08)
We are defending our historic land after having been exiled by oppressive Islamist forces, and after having given "Palestinians" economic opportunities as they swarmed here because their own countries couldn't support them. The difference? We don't make fighting a full-time job.
25. islamic jihadists
leslie stein ,   sydney australia   (12.20.08)
Here in Australia we Israel supporters have a daily grind in getting the local media to call the terrorists "terrorists" while in your newspaper you refer to them as "militants. " No wonder Israel is losing the hasbara battle
26. Now he spits
Gideon Reader   (12.20.08)
"Seems like dying is a lousy way to make a living." (I will not even suggest the I.J. Pudwacking Wankers know HOW to whistle Dixie) Hat tip to J.Wales.
27. HA HA HA HA! That's right #18
GUH   (12.20.08)
No DUH Israel started the hostilities. Good one, "tunnel vision;" keep up the good work.
28. #16, please
GUH   (12.20.08)
You people aren't even honest amongst yourselves.
29. #15
GUH   (12.20.08)
Ghandi faced a British empire that was crumbling after world war two and depended on the taxes of Indians. MLK... was not against any foreign military power, but he won his battle by constantly breaking the laws he saw as unjust and through appeals to government institutions (congress, the president, state legislature, etc...) The leaders of Hamas and IJ are dealing with a problem completely different from what faced these two people; your comment that Iran "issues marching orders" is ignorant of the fact that these people are purely Palestinian and devoted to their own struggle. War is not the answer, you say? Tell that to the "Gaza offensive" people... and the "Iran strike" people.... And the IDF that killed 22 Palestinians, wounded 62, and kidnapped 38 residents during the truce months...
30. #8- but listen to these statistics:
GUH   (12.20.08)
In the six months designated for the truce, the IDF killed 22 Palestinians, wounded 62, and kidnapped 38 residents in the Gaza Strip, particularly on farmers and fishermen; in total there were some 193 violations by the IDF until 12/18/08. These figures do not include the West Bank violations.
