1. Prepare for more rockets and don't
Lior ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
count on this government to help you. Livini too busy at smiling photo ops with Mubarak to care how her own people suffer. This is more than a perception it is truth.
2. Again with the wars talks?
Muhammad El- Quassar ,   Nezereth, Palstine   (12.26.08)
The israeli's as always only understand brute force. You can avoid all of this "operation" and choose the Arab league proposal and bring historic justice to this region. But i guess it's much easier to send the IDF goons to their certine death in Gaza
3. I will belive this operation will happen when I see it
zionist forever   (12.26.08)
Olmert is off trying to kiss Assads ass. Livni is asking Mubarak for permision for Israel to defend itself. Barak is busy sending aid to Hamas to send them a hint we are ready to accept your demands but its got to look like you made the first move because Israelis are rightly pretty mad right now and a growing number want a military operation not a worthless hudna while you arm and dig in. I will be very surprised if the government doesn't make a deal with Hamas at the last minute, if they were not looking to make a deal the operation would have started days ago Livni would not be having friendly chats with Mubarak, Olmert wouldn't be asking Gazans to rise up against Hamas and Barak wouldn't be sending in aid trucks which will end up in Hamas hands. Nobody in this stinking regime has an ounce of courage between them especialy the man who was once the most decorated general in the IDF. Please call me up I want to go fight and defend this dam country because the people in charge dont seem to be in to much hurry and there is a growing number of draft dodgers who call themselves refusniks so you want somethng done do it yourself.

Muhammed Where exactly is Palestine? You say your from Nazereth but last time I looked at a map it was in northern Israel. Also why should the Arab League plan be the one we have to adopt. The fact it is a no compromise plan that was dreamed up by the arabs with no input from Israel doesn't make it the plan that is the natural choice for us to want to adopt to try and deal with this conflict. I like the Israel plan personly which says that Jordan is the palestinian state as it was supposed to be when Jordan was first carves out of 80% of the land the League of Nations & Balfour Decleration promised to the jews. As for Syria .. treaties for the sake of treaties are not always the best plan if security is your primary issue and in this case doing a deal with Assad that cost Israel the Golan would be a very bad move for both the countries security and economy and the only people it will satisfy are Assad and the Israeli politicians who are looking for Nobel Prizes to satisfy their egos.
5. Silly
J K ,   NYC, USA   (12.26.08)
Shouldnt the headlines be Gaza City, Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya face major assault if rocket fire emanating from Gaza fails to cease? Israel needs to start dictating the pace of what happens, not Hamas.
6. 2#,You live in Israel, like it or get out!
Judah ,   Israel   (12.26.08)
7. more rockets
elliot ,   usa   (12.27.08)
and terror is what terrorists do whether or not you heed their warnings...they say 'do not make us mad' when they are already mad and exist to get madder...the point is why listen to this nonsense while they arm themselves more?
8. Hamas should be eliminated!
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.27.08)
Hamas, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, sees the struggle for Palestine as neither an ordinary political dispute between two contending nations (Israelis and Palestinians), nor even as a struggle for national self-determination by an indigenous population against a foreign occupier. Rather, it sees Palestine as but one battle in a worldwide holy war to prevent the fall of a part of the House of Islam to infidels. Hamas tends to prefer the deaths of Israelis over the lives of Palestinians as described at : http://xrl.us/kkxrc
9. We have to correct a mistake, and it won't be easy.
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (12.27.08)
Do we have the resolve, or will we buckle with the first casulties? Netenyahu could pull this off, but the present administration? I wonder if they are just talking it up to help themselves in the polls.
10. #2 Muhammed "The Nazarene..."
Alastair ,   Australia   (12.27.08)
The "Arab League" plan is in fact the "Ahmadinejad" plan for Israel - and Well YOU KNOW IT!! Wipe Israel off the Map and every Jew dead, then every Christian, then the Hindu's, Buddhists etc...!! That is your beautiful Islam!! Death and Destruction. No - you are miscreants and neanderthals that kill and maim your Women, your "gays" your people that turn to the True God (because yours is the deceiver, the fallen one, the same one that will burn in the fires of Hell forever, along with all of his followers!. Muhammed turn to the G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - and you will find eternal peace and love and. Stay with "Allah" and you have one path only - take your Sunburn Cream!!
11. Too few...too late
Salomon Mizrahi ,   Sao Carlos SP/Brazil   (12.27.08)
Israel has no strategy and no strategists... Decisions use to be random... As the pull-out from Gaza... These attacks will only strengthen Hamas and put all south Israel under the range of katyushas..
12. #2 Death totals from yesterday:Evil hamas pals=130,IDF goons
=0 Tell me again who ,   just talks???????   (12.27.08)
13. Watch the Northern Border Now
Northern Resident ,   Israel   (12.27.08)
I trust that the IDF troops along the Northern Border are on high alert incase Hezbollah is ordered to get into the fight as well to take pressure off Hamas! This would be the perfect time for Iran to order Hezbollah to act thinking that Israel can't sustain a war on two fronts,so beware IDF,Barak,Olmert because this senario can happen!
14. For every rocket that lands in Israel
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.27.08)
destroy one square kilometer of buildings in gaza. Do not warn the inhabitants,let them suffer like we do.
15. GO ISRAEL!
Brandon   (12.27.08)
Israel needs to go in and NOT listen to what the U.S. or any other country says! Go Israel! Carpet bomb them if you have to. Forget about the so-called "rules" of engagement that the UN tries to put rules on. War is Hell! The Palestinians/Hamas/Hezbolla want it. Show them what you can do! Use all force necessary and forget about Bush's so called 2 state plan!
16. you push we destory
david ,   honolulu, hi   (12.28.08)
my son ask me why this happen and i told him if someone came to harm you i would protect him the differnce with me and israel is that i would not have waited so long, lesson that needs to be learn here simple don't mess with israel just let them have there peace
17. We will Fight till the Last Drop of blood
Palestine.my.love ,   land of Gods   (12.28.08)

18. WHY FIGHT!?
Aussie girl ,   Australia   (12.31.08)
fighting is not the answer. all that is left from wars is deaths of our people. and for what?! a piece of land that we can all share! we are all human. and mabe we have different nationalities, backgrounds, religions etc but we should all stand together as one. there is plenty of the world for us to share. so why argue over it?!
