1. Hamas is to blame for civilian casualties
Flavio ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (12.29.08)
Hamas builds its military infrastructure in the heart of heavily populated zones - in other words, using Palestinians as human shields, in clear and direct violation of Article 28 of the 4th Geneva Convention: "The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations. pls check , . Therefore, Hamas should be made directly responsible for all casualties occurred under those circumstances. Enough with rabid anti-Israeli hypocrisy!
2. reliability of reports
alan ,   cape straight ak   (12.29.08)
During the Israeli raids during Intifada II in Jenin, the press printed a pack of lies about a so called masacre which was based on Palestinean sources. The reports proved to be absolute lies and the international press fell for all of them. Why then should the Israeli press reprint any reports from Palestinean sources in Gaza today?
3. oh, cry me a river!

4. hamas fires rockets at israel kiliing people
marcel   (12.29.08)
United nations, take note, hamas continue to fire rockets at israeli people. Based on united nations right to self-defense, we are going after hamas.

6. Jews aren't handing out candies
Sam ,   Canada   (12.29.08)
Whether it achieves anything or not Palestinians want to fire missiles just to show they are resisting. The Palestinians leave no way out of the conflict. They insist on a massive migration of Palestinians into Israel proper. They insist on targeting Israeli civilians until their aims are achieved and go into hysterics when the retaliation comes. No one is interested in Palestinian casualties but the Palestinians leave no room for compromise.Palestinians want Israel to commit suicide. The only alternative they offer is a fight to the finish.
7. IAF's Military Actions Justified. to IAF- thank you :-)
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO ,   singapore   (12.29.08)
8. That's what happens when your use babies for human shields.
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (12.29.08)
Hamas had every intention of getting civilians killed, including women and children, when they put their rockets, explosives, guns, etc. in civilian populations. How about war crimes trials at The Hague for Haniyeh, Mashaal and the rest of the thugs that use women and children for human shields?
9. NO cease fire untill "GILAT SHALIT IS FREE"
ISRAELI JEWS   (12.29.08)
10. a woman, her 4 kids, school, university, mosque, houses;
observer   (12.29.08)
those are damage, under international law, even if you attack a legitimate military target, the anticipated damage has to be in proportion to the anticipated gain. what is the gain? to topple hamas? to oppress the Palestinians? to gain moral high ground? non of many you anticipated.
11. that little girl is everywhere
Candy   (12.29.08)
Amazing, like the scarlet pimpernel, you just don't know what town she will appear in next for a photo opportunity with her "Palestinian" make-up person.
12. gazans celebrated the death of Jews, while I don't celebrate
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.29.08)
the death of people in gaza, neither does it bring any pain whatsoever. The people of gaza are reaping the terror that they sowed.
13. Completely out of sympathy.
Cameron ,   USA   (12.29.08)
Stack the dead at the entrance to Hanniyeh's hiding hole. Such are the wages paid out to the pathological. FO, Gaza folk.
14. Keep up the pressure!
GloomBoom.com ,   Nashville, USA   (12.29.08)
Don't stop until you get Haniyeh! Hamas has to go.
15. Someone should tell these morons:"JIHAD" = civilian deaths
Australian Guy   (12.29.08)
I mean, what are these imbeciles going on about? 1. They want JIHAD. 2.You don't get JIHAD without people DYING. 3. Its OK as long as ONLY JEWS (any Jews, young, old, pregnant , whatever) DIE.
16. #10 The objective is to protect our citizens and stop Qassam
meir elazar   (12.29.08)
What was the gain in the Qassam on Friday that killed 2 Gaza girls? What was the gain in Hamas killing 170 Fatah and taking over Gaza? What was the gain in Fatah sending terrorists to murder Egyptians in the Sinai attacks? etc. The point if very clear. Hamas, IJ, El Aqsa, and PRC don't give a damn about Palestinian lives. Their Charter calls for the destruction of Israel and the Murder of Israelis and Jews. Our murder is the ONLY thing that drives these terrorists. Furthermore, the Gazans democratically elected HAMAS to govt. to represent them. All of which gives us full license to do ANYTHING needed to stop the Qassams and I mean ANYTHING.
17. hit haniya's house!
ayl   (12.29.08)
18. I think elections should be every 6 months :)
me   (12.29.08)
19. keep going
marvin   (12.29.08)
israel, you are doing a good job, steady, hamas is lying its teeth off. Pay gazans to show you all the tunnel entrances and exits and then seal them.. Do not stip until you accomplish what you need to.
20. Remember !
YOEL ,   Israel   (12.29.08)
Once a baby was shot by a sniper. Her name was Shalhevet Pass. I will NEVER forget her, because she was called "baby settler", and her assassination was celebrated. Let's say that it's a "baby terrorist" because it's the way he was educated. This time I won't cry over palestinian victims because they are experts in crying and complaining... I'm over-emotioned with their Palywood stories, and don't believe them anymore.
21. Palliwood strikes again...
Minastirith ,   Vienna Austria   (12.29.08)
Go Israel go!
22. Hamas is being responsible for everything that goes on in...
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.29.08)
Hamas is being responsible for everything that goes on in the Gaza area. The responsibility for the casualties among Palestinian civilians rests upon the shoulders of Hamas, which operates under cover of the civilian population while endangering it by holding bomb-making and explosive materials in its midst, Hamas is being responsible for everything that goes on in the Gaza area, for all of the casualties. Hamas is also responsible for the civilians who are not involved in the fighting, who are hurt in the course of these operations as a result of the fact that it operates from within civilian concentrations, and by planting and holding explosive charges among the civilian population as described at : http://xrl.us/bi9r6
23. this girl.....
ilan ,   USA   (12.29.08)
am i the only one that has realized that this same little girl is showing up daily in pictures of "new air attacks killing innocent children"??
24. I hope Israel has more sense than to rebuild the buildings
Rivkah   (12.29.08)
that have been bombed, like America does. America rebuilt Iraq and has not been paid, while Americans are losing their homes and life savings and retirement securities. When a country is defeated, they should have to pay tribute like in the old days, not get the side that wins to rebuild the enemy country with tax money from the victors. American policies are so stupid. I hope Israel is more concerned with Israelis than with Gazans.
25. He who laughs last, laughs best
mohamed ,   Gaza   (12.29.08)
It is just the beginning, the images of dead babies shown daily on the TV will surely benefit the extremists in the Arab and Islamic world and this will eventually lead to growing terrorism, which Israel will have to face.
26. #25 Moron. You want Jihad - people die because of Jihad
(12.29.08)
Nobody is laughing except the sick minded.
27. 7 killed and a baby
Lior ,   Israel   (12.29.08)
Only murderous virulent terrorists dig weapons tunnels and build weapons arsenals in civilian populations. Jihad gets what Jihad deserves. Only in brave societies throughout history did people gallantly fight to the end rising up against their own tyrants not against the wrong people to whom they have been raised to hate and dispise. Until the end of time sociologists and historians will scratch their heads in disbelief over the phenomenon of these people whose hate for Jews fills not only their hearts but the whole of society. The very people who lack the courage to rise up and fight their own is the story of these people. If they are poor, it is of their own making. If they eat cakes of dust so be it. Until they treasure life, this will be their story.
28. World watching Jewish terror & crimes against Palestinians
Alex ,   USA   (12.29.08)
most people who didn't know about Jewish terror in Palestine in 1930's and 1940's, now understand that Jewish occupation in Palestine is not only dangerous for middle east but also entire world.
29. #25 Like fish on a hook you will come
Poor fools ,   no hope   (12.29.08)
30. BODIES FOR PEACE
ISAAC RUBIN ,   MOSHAV LIVNIM ISRAEL   (12.29.08)
WHEN HAMAS WAS FIREING ON ISRAEL THE WORLD INCLUDING THE ARAB COUNTRYS SAW NO PROBLEM.EVENTUALLY OUR GOVERNMENT HAS HAD ENOUGH AND IS FIGHTING BACK. I WOULD LIKE TO BE HONEST AND SAY THAT EVERY PALESTINIAN BODY BRINGS US CLOSER TO A SECURE BORDER. I DON'T LIKE THE SITUATION BUT I DON'T THINK THAT IF I DENY THE TRUTH IT WILL CHANGE. MAYBE WHEN THE GAZANS BURY ENOUGH BODIES THEY WILL LEARN 2 THINGS HAMAS WILL TAKE THEM ON A PAINFULL PATH AND ISRAEL WANTS QUIET AT ANY PRICE EVEN IF IT MEANS KILLING BABIES. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR PEACE WE HATE ONE ANOTHER TOO MUCH FOR THAT. I BELIEVE THAT IF THE PRICE FOR ATTACKING ISRAEL IS HIGH ENOUGH THE ATTACKS WILL STOP. AS HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US THE PALESTINIANS ARE A STUBORN PEOPLE THEY DON'T LEARN QUICKLY SO THE MORE BODIES THEY BURY THE SOONER WE WILL ENJOY A QUITE BORDER. SOME PEOPLE MAY CALL ME A RACIST I AM HONEST ENOUGH TO ADMIT THAT IF THERE WAS NO RACIALISM THEN THERE WOULD BE NO CONFLICT AND I AM PART OF THAT CONFLICT LIKE IT OR NOT. BE HONEST AND BE A PROUD JEW ISAAC RUBIN
