fish israel   (12.28.08)
Now please say, was Liebermann right when he demanded that every citizen will give a pledge of loyalty to Israel? Now we have a minister, who didn't say a word about rockets on Sdeort, but boycotts his own job, because he supports our enemies. Bishara, Madjake, Barake, Tibi - they don't belong here. They belong in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon... I sometimes wish to lay a nice punch between Mr Tibi eyes, just to hear his hysterical shouts. Sorry, moderators, couldn't help it.
5. govt o.k.'s 'draft---#2
elliot ,   usa   (12.28.08)
cnn does not decide the right of israel to defend itself-this is decided in higher places and implimented by brave israelis--not polls! also calling up reserves is not a draft [which raises new armies]..the arabs should have freed schalit too!
6. How cynical can somebody be?!
Yvonne ,   Jerusalem   (12.28.08)
"Diskin added that 'a significant part of the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip is CONTENT with the damage caused to Hamas, which has harmed and is harming civilians.'" Sure. They are probably celebrating...
7. Remove the arabs and hara-dim from
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.28.08)
the knesset along with anyone that did not serve in theI.D.F. Including peres! Remove the right to vote by anyone who did not serve.
8. yishai is right!
oded   (12.28.08)
fire this traitor immediately! the myth called"arab- israeli" is now coming out of the bag even more so! seperate the 2 societies once and for all. boycott thier businesses, even if they are cheaper then thier jewish counterparts!
9. The time is very close to Micah 3:12 and Isaiah 3:8
Rivkah   (12.28.08)
when Jerusalem will be heaps and a ruin which will make way for the Third Temple on the Temple Mount after Jerusalem is attacked. The attack on Jerusalem will probably be by Iran and will result in the UN and America going to war with Iran which Daniel chapter 8 says will be subdued. The Ezekiel chapter 38 war is yet future, possibly seven or more years away. Zephaniah the Prophet says Ashkelon will also be attacked and forsaken by the Jews. THEN the Lord will destroy every Philstine on the coasts of Canaan (Palestinians on the coasts of Israel). I pray for the IDF and their families and the Reservists, knowing the Lord can protect people He chooses to. A good lesson on this is an IDF Reservist who drives a taxi in Tel Hashomer. I prayed for various people I met in Israel who may be called up in the Reserves. The one God immediately answered, "protected", was a great man of God who reads the Bible on his lunch breaks and in the evening and is ever as close to the Lord as he can be: Israel David. God loves him. I will continue to petition the Lord for those I met who may shortly be in danger and also for those who I have not met who will face battle.
10. Israel must be strong and have defensible borders
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.28.08)
A strong Israel is a vital asset to the free world and America. To be a strong and dependable friend in a 'rough neighborhood', Israel must have defensible borders and military prowess capable of addressing multiple challenges which can materialize suddenly in this unstable region. The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Israelis is not the only adversary Israel faces. Historically, anti-Zionism has been the glue behind Arab nationalism. It has provided a convenient scapegoat for deflecting Arab states' frustration over unsolved domestic problems, but it also stems from a deep innate intolerance that exists throughout the Muslim world to any non-Muslim presence.

11. Are the Israeli strikes on Gaza justified?
Yaroslav ,   Ukraine   (12.28.08)
When I read in world media this question: "Are the Israeli strikes on Gaza justified?" I have question to this media "Do Jews have the right in general to defend their lives? And what about everyday deadly rocket and mortar attacks against civil population? Don't you know that most of these attacks directed to harm civilians?" Please, think very carefully and honestly how to answer. Take into account that YOU can be next victim of this crazy suicidal mentality. Terrorism has blood-thirsty nature and it will NEVER change this nature. Terrorism cannot become some day peaceful, loving, merciful. Think about this and have a nice lovely peaceful day!
12. Majadele : Silent while rockets rain on Israel
Ronald   (12.28.08)
What a hypocrite! there is no doubt that ( as others have quite rightly pointed out), this guy is a traitor - not a true Israeli. These people are a danger and need to be watched.

And what about everyday deadly rocket and mortar attacks against civil population in particular? Don't you know that most of these attacks directed to harm civilians?" Please, think very carefully and honestly how to answer. Take into account that YOU can be next victim of this crazy suicidal mentality.

sarit ,   ashkelon,israel   (12.28.08)

17. Calling up reservests
jeremy ,   hula valley kibbutz   (12.28.08)

19. Jews around the world unite!
Wolfie ,   Worldwide   (12.28.08)
Jews from evrywhere should volunteer if needed. There is plenty one can do without shooting a gun. We also have to watch the northern border incase the idiot hizbolas decide to get fresh.
20. they don't have plans for refusenik reservists, either.
observer   (12.28.08)
it's only only general plan; No plan. But, they do have plenty of planes. Are the Israel pilots ready to kill and BE killed. A great sacrifice for no safety of Israel. They are supposed to hit armored vehicles and military installations. But what they hit and supposed to hit are civilian cars and buildings. Is that the Israeli version of democracy; the only democracy in the ME! Palestinians in Gaza are yet to use full capacity of their own air defense; not a misprint, yes air defense.
21. Gen.Sherman and gaza operation
mike cato ,   NEW YORK, USA   (12.28.08)
Perhaps this time, the weak-kneed cowardly Isreali "leaders' have decided to change their ways; perhaps they have read the words of Gen. William, T. Sherman, Amer. Civil War, and taken them seriously, to wit 1. "War is cruelty. There is no use trying to refine it. The crueler it is, the sooner it will be over." 2. "Every attempt to make war easy and safe will result in humiliation and defeat." 3. "My aim, then, was to whip the [enemy] , to humble their pride,to follow them to their inmost recesses,and to make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom." If, this time, the Isrealis do not allow the Zoonited Nations and the European Urine-union to deny Israell a total victory i.e. destruction of Hamas and other terror groups, then a semi-autonomous arab region can be established with close economic and even cultural ties with Israel. Once peace reigns in Gaza, why can't the multi-trillionaire Saudis and Emirates be invited to invest some of their small change in Gaza , say 10-20 billion, for the construction of luxury hotels, seaside resorts, casinos, convention /commercial enters, shopping malls etc? --a mini Dubai.Everyone would benefit.
22. #14 Till the Last Breath...last child of our generations...
Yaroslav ,   Ukraine   (12.28.08)
Poor Gazan! Poor victim of brainwashing of terroristic islam! What a future, what a perspectives!!! I can't see sins of victory in this picture, only degeneration and graveyards full of dead bodies!!! As I can see this type of religion hates Palestinians, IT JUST KILLS THEM. And if you'll say that is not true, I'll tell you that you show love to Jews when you kill them. But it's nonsense. Probably it's time for you to think about another religion, my friend. Have a nice evening! Hey!!! I can't hear you. Are you still alive?...
23. Your special dragon Kiss
bethtopaz ,   United States   (12.28.08)
palestine.my.love, Here is a message for you regarding your Muhammed's special dragon kiss: G-d will destroy all of Israel's enemies with the word of His mouth when He returns to earth the Second Time. You have time now to accept Yeshua as your Savior. He died on the cross for your sins, as He did for the sins of the whole world. He rose again on the third day and ascended to be with the Father. He is returning to this earth very soon to save His people, Israel, and all who believe on His name.
