Unfortunately this is what happens in war. Dont blame Israel - blame your Hamas friends. Stop firing rockets, stop trying to kill Jews and wasting money on weapons - accept Israel now and LIVE!

go and buy carpets, Gazans.... because you will have to kneel.... you should have elected another government, not a terrorist one. Choice was yours, you just were happy bombing Sderot, now this is pay-time !!!!

Israel doesn't want you to 'kneel' idiots! It wants you to stop launching rockets and mortars into its sovereign territory. Something you jerks cant seem to get through your brains. And I hope it gets worse. Not civilian deaths, mind you, but Hamas and affiliated gunmen loses. Civilians deaths are to be expected what with Hamas infrastructure built right in town, but hey, the Gazan' voted them in. Now live with the consequences. Hey, right before this conflict Hamas was trying to institute more rigid Sharia restrictions. Will the freedoms in Gaza ever cease? I hope this operation takes the necessary time to achieve its goals. And dont overextend or Hamas will find some way to claim victory. EVERY rocket lauch should be met with such ferocity until Hamas has no choice but to stop or lose 300 people every time.

The enemy is coming in the middle of the night to your houses. Go out of your houses,arrest or kill haniyeh and zohar and masri and all the heads of the hamas and jihad and the mosques and bring them to israel. Hand in all the guns from the moques. Show israel where the tunnels and booby traps are. You will be saved and you will get money rewards. Save yourselves from the arab killers hamas. Inshallah

Hamas (Violence) leaders told the whole world that the truce is over andf that they are ready to die. When the people were told to vote, they voted for Hamas who has kept them in perpetual poverty in the name of islam....

The Israelis have lived in massacre , which is caused by all the "Extremist Islamist Terror Organizations", for all of their lives. It's time for the ugly Hamas to join the club of the massacre! They may then realize what we have felt for all of our lives (and still feeling). The problem is that they have no feelings so they cannot realize that... We warned them but they didn't want to stop firing rockets through Israel, so this is their punishment!

The problem is their government which they support because without support from the streets Hamas would crumble away into nothingness. When they revolt against Hamas & the other terrorists then Israel will no longer have any excuses to use force of any kind and nobody is going to grt killed on either side. This is a war and the palestinians have to choose to end it or there will be alot more dead bodies.

But this is great news. "The situation of the children in school was extremely bad, because some of the compounds that have been attacked were located near schools." "Deliberately located" it should have said. Of course the media will have a field day denouncing the aggressive Israelis for simply defending themselves. Be strong Israel, because a lot of us are rooting for you and see beyond the propaganda.

It will get worse and why you ask. Because of your 'democratically' elected government decided to murdered Israelis. You have been asking for this war and now you got it.

It was only yesterday Hamas was boasting about kidnapping a female soldier and landing their forces in Tel Aviv! And, yes, the worst IS yet to come.

Stand strong, Israel! Also from Holland you have our warmest support!

My family, our friends are proud of you, Israel. We think it is time - overdue. The Gazans daily threaten and boast about destroying Israel. Their money is spent on armaments and rockets shot daily into Israel.. They brag about how they love death. Well!? Enough is enough!

I just hope the civilian deaths are not for nothing. Please, make this campaign a decisive victory. Also, Israel needs to stop their ridiculous policies aimed at appeasing the international community and take steps to regain dominance in their own backyard. Settlement may be a bad word world wide, but it is our only hope to defeat Palestine forever.

i'm so happy that some of you with us...what still hamas is really angry and i really hope our army is raedy to evrything.

Even his name gives it away. Masri means "Egyptian" in Arabic. Just like Arafat was born in Egypt so too does this man's roots lie in Egypt not Palestine. The PALs at no time in history every had a legitimate govt. in Palestine and now they should be totally crushed. We should not stop until they surrender and beg us to take Shalit back. Until then bomb every mosque where they store their arms and shot from. Destroy the schools where they fired Qassams from. Attack the hospital where they hid their commanders of the terrorist groups. Nothing is sacred since they hide behind civilians and all otherwise exempt institutions.

This is typical arabs they have been firing rockets for 8 years, and just now got 1 day sample of our hit and this terrorist killers calls it undjust "massacre". Where is your government? of course as usual hiding in tunnels like RATS, counting stolen people money, wake up Palis, wake up.....

Israel must restore its “aura of invincibility” lost in the Second Lebanon War if there is to be any semblance of hope for a better future. That will only be achieved when Israel’s enemies come to realize that they have truly been defeated, that they cannot continue the system that led to the war, and that their dream of conquest is dead. The solution to the misery of the Arabs living in Judea, Samaria and Gaza exist : they should think about emigrating, discretely, to other Arab countries before it is too late, (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). That is the real solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8

60 years have notmade us forget our homes in Haifa andYafa, and another 120 years won't make us forget your crimes, We will not forget, COUNT ON IT.

Israel IS the land of God. On your knees boy.

will begin soon. Ignore it. Stand strong Israel. Many see right through the BS and will support you if you see this to the end and crush these Islamists for the sake of all those who recognize and are fighting this battle. All those in India, in Thailand, in Philippines wherever the Islamists are seething with their hatred of everything non Muslim. Crush them for those moderate Muslims who are too afraid to speak out against them. The world must see they can and must be eliminated if we are ever able to live together peacefully again.

im from Gaza near the border , and i have SMS for Barak and Olmert.... stupids if you think that we will fall or cry becuse of casulties , till the last child of our generations we will resiste you. we ready for being all in the heaven with Muhamad PBUH .... come on and we will give IDF our special dragon Kiss

...Performing an incredible obfuscation campaign (I'll give credit where credit is due Olmert, Barak, and Livni, even thought I won't be voting for them) ...After performing a massive air raid with over 80 aircraft and 100 targets, all acting simultaneously in an incredibly small area. ...Wiping out all of the Hamas compounds in Gaza in one shot ...Killing over 270 Hamas members along with injuring another 1000 basically incapacitating 10% Hamas forces. ...Now still waiting for Hamas to 'open the gates of hell' and 'attack Tel-Aviv' and unleash attacks so horrible we will 'kill overselves'. ...And now able to attack with impunity and considering all options on how to expand it. And were in panic, yea take some relaxants dude.

Thak G-d that Israel at last is taking action to protect its people. May Hamas be destroyed and may the People of Gaza learn that they can have peace and prosperity next o Israel if they would only choose the path of peace. Hamas is the enemy of the Palestinian People just as it is the enemy of Israel and of the free world.
