Olmert,, this is your last chance. You have been a corrupt, lousy Prime Minister for the last 3 years. The one bright spot is when you ordered the bombing of the nuclear installation in Syria. Yet with only weeks remaining before you leave office now is the time to at least partially redeem yourself. If you truly care about Israels' future then order the ground invasion now. The reason that Germany no longer sends V1 and V2 rockets into England is because Germany was totaly defeated by the end of World War 2. We need to do the same to Hamas. If rockets can hit Beersheba then Dimona is not far off.

pictures of shocked children taken to hospital, pictures of damaged kindergarten, UN condemns the attack and has an urgent SC meeting to issue a Press release condemning it, calls by the world for Palestinians to stop deliberately targeting civilians!!! Oh.... wait a minute...

Thinking of all of you ! I hope the students stay at home and stay safe.

But you went ahead with the "disengagement" anyway. Pity that you didn't listen. Pity for us all. Now we need to undo what you did- from Oslo on, in order to achive REAL peace.

The US is in in deep recession and is preoccupied by programs on health care, education, and the environment. The Umbilical Cord used to nurse Israel in the old golden days wars, with arms and ammunition, would be at least strangulated. You have to buy or sell some shares of stock; it's international crisis.

Shame on HAMAS ! GO IDF GO , Babe GO !

You are Islam's first target - but here we know that that's not where they want it to end. The threat is global, and they want to take overe, even here. GO the IDF! May God be with you.

no one in the world care about your story ..this war is broadcasted live .. a stark division between the agressor and the victim .

Israel amasses force for ground war. Barak favor a French-style truce. Gabi Ashkenazi released a statement saying the IDF was not behind the move.

Fact is, Israel's ecomonic standing is better then that of the US. So much so, that in fiscal terms as well as millitary, Israel owes them nothing - in fact it's the other way around. Surprised? We all thought you had your finger on the pulse of these type of things!! But how wrong you are...

Gaza was evacuated to give a better quality of life to Gazans. The Gazans got all kinds of promises from their leadership. What happened? They built nothing, raided and destroyed the greehouses, let the fields rot and made them into launching pads for rockets which descended onto Israeli towns and villages, day after day after day , whose intentions is only to frighten and kill civilans. What would Beirut /Lebanon do tomorrow if your guardian angel Syria launched rockets every day? Sit back and do nothing? Where does your holier than thou attitude come from in Beirut? You should talk, your country is held hostage by an Iranian group that follows the law of Hamas - conquer and divide.

However, I notice that Hamas's photoshop savvy isn't as good as Hizbollah's. Maybe they need more lessons from Iran?

Maybe you are confusing them with the EU and UK?

sometime deterrence is not in talking too much.

If it was just 'a story', maybe you'd have a point. But the world don't need to watch TV to know who the real victim is (see #8 from Australia). They have had the TV on for more then just the last week. The whole civilized world find the militant palis and the mullahs that drive them repugnant! We know that Israel have no choice. The choice for what is happening now, after countless repeated warnings, was made by Hamas, and EVERYONE who elected them - and STILL WANT THEM TO HOLD POWER, ALL OF THEM. The people of Gaza have no one to blame but themselves, just like it will soon be again in the streets of where you are - for allowing Nassrallah and his killers to be where they are in government, etc. So, I hope you are getting supplied and ready, as Beirut is probably in for it soon!

Keep attacking Israel and don't care about their people.

the war would already be over because it would have shocked the anti-ionist campus Left back into the real world. Ben Gurion University has become the Bir Zeit of the Negev.

Even if we must starve, that is fine but we will support Israel EVER, We CHOOSE TO STAND BY THE TRUTH- iSRAEL iS THE TRUTH ! We are Israel best friend ever :-)~

Get them Hamas terrorists and their associates. They don't care about peace or Palestinians. They had their chance in the past but ended up fighting among themselves. Go IDF ! And when all is done there, there are lots of Islamic extremists here too.

wake up world!! now for the Hamas/Iran , it's not about destroying Israel, this a war against the west and freedom, the jews and Israel are in the first line, they are lying to the world telling them it's about plastinens.

We all knew this would happen. Now we must finish off Hamas otherwise the people not just in Sderot but everywhere will be under continued attack. We were lucky that the children did not go to school this morning. We know where the rockets are being launched. the cowards Hamas are firing them from behind civilians. these civilians have now become combatants we must fire back immediately.

What is your original post om about - all is rosey!

Israel left lebanon and hezbollah and syria gave them weapons and training. Israel left gaza and hamas went to iran to train and get their rockets to smuggle through the tunnels. But the public doesn't care. Livni is surging in the polls. Kadima has done more harm to Israel than any enemy ever has.

For years Hamas has been smuggling in long range rockets from Iran through the tunnels and Kadima has said Egypt is taking care of it. I give up, I really give up. And to think that Kadima is rising in the polls to do more destruction to Israel. Now Kadima wants the EU to take over the gaza border. Hamas will be able to smuggle in more rockets and build up again. Kadima has done unreal damage.

have never felt the fear of war, since Israel, never shots innocent people, in contrast to the barbarian leadership of Hammas, which employs all its effort to kill Israeli civilians (which is a war crime of itself). As such, no wonder the people of Gaza have elected the Hammas in democratic elections. It is about the time the people of Gaza will be responsible for their own decisions, and the proper way to do so is not to stop the bombing until the entire Gaza strip will become ruins.
