1. 3800 missile attacks against Israel this year
Cynthia ,   USA   (12.28.08)
Where were their protests? Stop the hypocrisy!!
2. IF FRANCE AND EU CAN STOP THE QASSAMS OTHERWISE WE WILL
meir elazar   (12.28.08)
So long as Hamas rains down rockets on Israel there is absolutely nothing to discuss regarding the cessation of OFERET YETZUKA - Operation Lead. This situation requires a Tipul Shoresh - getting to the heart of the Terror and we are now attacking the epicenter of World Terror. Judging from the reactions in Iran, Iraq, and other centers of Global Arab/Moslem Terror we must be doing something right. This was obviously a well planned and executed IDF military plan and hopefully Olmert won't screw it up. Pls put him in jail before he does something wrong. We now have an enormous window of opportunity in the transition period before Jan 20 while there is a vacuum. Hopefully we will: 1. Stop the Qassams 2. Get Shalit back 3. Crush Hamas and its entire infrastructure 4. Recapture Philadelphi Road 5. Send in Engineering crew to create the Philadelphi Canal to prevent tunnels and smuggling. 6. Get HAMAS to totally surrender or crush them.
3. Go for it Iran, God bless you.
(12.28.08)
This evil entity will end just as the soviet empire did. What you do in Gazza is the best reason for Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and soon.
4. France is the second country of Eurabia
Norman ,   France   (12.28.08)
with England... the first.
5. Where were the protesters when...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (12.28.08)
The violent Hamas coup in Gaza killed hundreds of palestinians? Nowhere to be seen because they don't give a %*@! about palestinians dying but they rabidly hate the idea of Jews fighting back.
6. In a context of vacancy...
Bill ,   France   (12.28.08)
... of our President, who spends a quiet by expensive week at a Brazilian seaside resort, while Israel is doing its best to protect its people. Keep focusing on the remaining job, clean the Strip, and let the usual advisers make their useless comments...
7. #3 proves my point
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (12.28.08)
She wants Iran to get nuclear weapons so that Israel will be destroyed. The fact that the nuclear conflagration that would follow would destroy most of the Middle East and kill hundreds of millions of Arabs doesn't matter to her as long as Jews die. But it's not anti-semitism of course!
8. It's France....
Dan ,   USA   (12.28.08)
what else would you expect.
9. Gaza demonstrations
Jim ,   Paterson, USA   (12.28.08)
I note that thhe pro-Pal demonstrations in France were remarkably small, given that this was the heaviest loss of life in decades. Kouchner noted that the attacks come "in a context of vacancy of power in Israel and the U.S." as both countries are undergoing leadership transitions. "Europe has a role to play," Kouchner is quoted as saying. It also has a role to play in Zimbabwe, Darfur, and IIran nukes, but isn't doing very much in those areas either.
10. 1500 Hypocrites: did NOTHING to STOP the rockets.
Islamophobe   (12.28.08)
11. France never was an allied
jewish girl ,   israel   (12.29.08)
to America. Nor is France a friend to Israel. France no longer exists. IT has more Muslins then any other country in Europe. They are scare sh---, because of there muslins popuation. JEWS SHOULD GET OUT - MOVE TO ISRAEL !!!!! THEY HATE AMERICANS, JEWS AND ISRAELI'S.
12. Just got back from France
French ,   Frog   (12.29.08)
It seems as tho there are more Arabs there then french, they really did shoot themselves in the foot. France & the UK are doomed
13. agree 100%
Informa ,   Lillie, FR   (12.29.08)
Right on, they're complete hypocrites
14. #3 errr Iran is too busy executing homosexuals and women
chezki ,   NY   (12.29.08)
15. boo hoo this is so sad...now go eat some frog legs
chezki ,   NY   (12.29.08)
16. Kouchner wants to play a role
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (12.29.08)

17. ????
Smith   (12.29.08)
Just 1,400????? What happen to Eurabia???????
18. #3: Soviet Empire still around, but ignorance IS your thing
Global Citizen ,   Israel & USA   (12.29.08)
19. israel solution
world citizen ,   world   (12.29.08)
Israel- here is your answer:alert the world prior to acting,give 24 hours for the evacuation of area where missiles came from, then completely bomb it flat and create a no entry zone-keep doing this for every attack aimed at Israel- say 4 square city blocks or more at a time?
20. Role of the EU is to SHUT UP.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.29.08)
21. France's greatest talent
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (12.29.08)
is surrendering. They can't understand anyone actually fighting back.
22. France was never an ally?
Ponyboy ,   USA   (12.30.08)
Guess what? People all over the world are protesting. Did you see the 1800 people protesting in Manhattan yesterday? And there were a lot of Jews among them! What about the protests happening everywhere else in the world? Are they all "sacred sh-", too? Do they "not exist" anymore too, acording to you "jewish girl"? The UN warned for MONTHS that Palestinians were starving because of the blockade, Hamas had a right to attack. I wouldn't like it if some other country blocked food and medicine from reaching civilians in AMERICA. If any country were starving US I would want to fight back. And with all the bombs that they fired, how many Israelis die? One! And three yesterday. How many Palestinians die? So far, over 400, little kids and women included. People aren't angry at JEWS. Theyre angry at ISAREL and America. This is a crime against humanity. I can't believe how ignorant everyone on this post is. Stop seeing things from one side.
23. NObody protested against hamas!
Sirius ,   Japan   (12.30.08)
Nobody protested against hamas firing missiles into Israel because they were shot when Israel was starving Palestine, by blocking food and supplies. And Hamas is so poor and disorganized. Do you know how many people in Israel died as a result of all those bombs? Less than 10. How many Palestinians are dying now? More than 300 and the number is rising. And so many civilians among them... Whoever's "side" youre on...you cant deny that Israel is being barbaric.
