1. Tel Aviv getting prepared....
roxy ,   Israel   (01.01.09)
Great that they are readying Tel Aviv, but what about us here in the North incase Hezbollah decides to get involved in the action? How's about readying Haifa and Haifa bay and surrounding communites? The last time we were hit hard by hezbollah,we need to make sure our shelters are ready too ! Not to mention any special preparations needed to be take at the petrochemical plants that ring Haifa Bay!
2. Tel Aviv wake-up
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.01.09)
Until 2000 there were no rockets on Israel. In 2000 Israel withdrew from Arab-centers in Gaza for "peace" and rockets hit Gush Katif. In 2005, Israel ethnically cleansed Gaza of Jews for "peace" and rockets hit Ashdod, Gedera and Beer Sheva. Now Barak and Livni want to ethnically cleanse Judea and Samaria. Herzlia is 10 kilometers (15 seconds warning) and Kikar Hamedina is 20 kilometers (30 seconds warning) from Grad launch pads in Kalkilya. Remember this when you vote.
3. Here comes the bitching from the TA leftists
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.01.09)
The thought that the cafes may be closed for a few nights? Having to leave the comfort of their high rises for a few days? The possibility that they may, at least for a few days, have to see what the Negev residents live with daily. Guaranteed they will attack Tzahal for forcing this situation on them
4. #2 Grad launchers in Kalkilya?
Tomer ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (01.01.09)
Do we have intelligence that says there are any? On second thoughts, I'm not sure I actually want to know. Sigh...
5. Time to put your money where your mouth is peace dudes
mic ,   Judea   (01.01.09)
The arabs will only be wanting your land and daughters then there will be Real peace. TA and Haifa HodHasharon area to be offered for peace.. It's worth it.Right? Don't want to be seen as war mongerers. Heck they only want your land. Hope all you shmucks who were willing to feed our pioneering brothers in Judea and Samaria who are protecting your sorry asses, to the arabs, catch the first ones! Ancient Chinese Proverb; 'If you wait by the river long enough and you will even see your enemy's body float by ' Hope you guys can swim.. Have a nice day.
6. Give them sewage pipes
Bar ,   Omer   (01.01.09)
to run to.
7. Tel Aviv , West...
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem - ISRAEL   (01.01.09)
Is there anything left beyond west Tel Aviv ? Is it not the city Israel worried most about in times of war with Arabs ?You claimed prior to the 1967 War thar Egyptian "Mig-21" jet fighters,in case they took off from "Al-Arish" airfield in Sinai,could reach Tel Aviv in 7 minutes , right? Times have changed and there came an Iraqi who pounded Tel Aviv with lethal "Scud" missiles while his country does not have common borders with Israel...HIZBULLAH threatened in the summer 2006 war to strike at Tel Aviv...Now Palestinians of the besieged Gaza Strip are posing mortal threat to Tel Aviv with their long-range "Katyusha" rockets ...Had David Ben Gurion been still alive to this day would he have continued clinging hard to the false, so-called "strategic depth" for Israel ??? Would you consider readying big ships and cruise sea boats to take you from Tel Aviv across the Mediterranean to ghettos of Europe?
8. aks, to all your stupid blah,blah, the
(01.01.09)
answer is NO.
9. I think prudent steps to push the people of Gaza across the
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.01.09)
border into Egypt ought to be considered and implemented if the rocket fire is going to persist. Displace these people into Egypt if they can't stop their bizarre behaviour. What have these people brought anyone other than misery. The Arab nations don't even want these sick people. The reason is.....because they have enough radical nuts following a cult religion in their own countries. Why add more gasoline to the fire. Look at what Arafat did to Jordan. Egypt doesn't want to destabilize their country by bringing this backward cult anywhere near it. The point being......if someone doesn't put a stop to the cults momentum.......then all these countries are going to be run by a cult of religious nuts. Do you know why Fatwa's were created? They were created for idiots who follow nutty cults to excuse themselves from looking in a mirror, and realizing what a bunch of moron's they have become. They give the cult following moron, the excuse to kill the messenger, that informs them, that they are acting like imbeciles. But opinions our like cults.....everyone has one in the Middle East. Cults I mean. Other than that....fascism reigns supreme. Kill anyone who isn't following the cult.
10. next Tel Aviv and (Dimona)
Mark Katzman ,   San Francisco, USA   (01.01.09)
Interesting that a few years back in San Francisco's Pacific Hts I was at a presentation on million dollar condos in Tel Aviv. I asked about the threat of missiles and the reply was that it wasn't a threat-they would never strike Tel Aviv because the response would be too terrible. What would those people say now?
11. #9 Steve Wilson
Dave Wilson ,   usa   (01.01.09)
You are nothing but a misguided Jewish fool.
12. steven re cults
mebosa ritchie ,   glasgow scotland   (01.01.09)
i am sure this is a mis-print
13. A 2X4 delivered to the recalcitrant mulish left
Gideon Reader   (01.01.09)
NOW that the minds of the distanced, detached,"not my problem not my patch", "it's those pesky "Judean Settlers" that threaten us", have been concentrated, and the 2X4 to the side of the head and the wet fish across the face have been applied, you will see for the first time in a very, VERY long time an interest in Israel's rights as opposed to the rights of every swinging Richard on this Al Gore heated Globe. Say it ain't so! Not North Tel Aviv. Not Savyon? Not Ibn Gvirol? Are those Hamastoonians mad? We are so socially aware and progressive international socialists, progressives and left of those nasty rightists who are always crying wolf about war; we who love everybody ((except for you know who?)) we feel your pain a la Monica's pal, Bill. We acknowledge your frustrations and commisserate. Why would they shoot at US? They do not mean all those threats do they? Oh S__t! They do? They would shoot our Penthouses on the water? Not the really REALLY high rise flats of the rich and socialist? <<>>, "Whyyyyyyyyy? Whyyyyyy? Keep THAT sort of threat up and we will negotiate with the "settlers". OK. Maybe not that.
14. Tel Aviv
jewish mother ,   jerusalem   (01.01.09)
I think we should send over some of the deluxe security rooms provided for the people of Nitzan. Yes, the hi-tech, supersafe, super-comfortable designer security room. For all the family. Conveniently located in the middle of the street with the latest in air-conditioning ( open at both ends at night). Yes, SEWAGE pipes are the way forward for every Isreali's security needs. i"d like to see a bunch of Tel avivians squatting in a sewage pipe at night in their pyjamas.
15. out at sea the pirates kill the men and rape their wives
i wouldn't recommend ,   carnival cruise ship   (01.01.09)
and when they are done they sell the wives over to the sex slave trade industry. better to build your own ships like noah did if olmert and his "iron fist" behave as normal ?
16. 4#, a Kassam was launched from the West Bank
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (01.01.09)
In 2002 a Kassam was launched from Tulkarim to Netanya. It was poorly made and it landed in a field near Kfar Yona. After the Park Hotel Passover bombing Ariel Sharon sent the I.D.F. in and no Kassams have been fired since. If the I.D.F was not operating in Judea and Samaria then Kassams and even katushas would be landing on Hod Hasharon, Netanya,Herzylia and Tel Aviv)including Ben Gurion airport).
17. Israeli government is paralyzed
AK   (01.01.09)
Ever since 1973, Israeli successive Israeli governments became more and more paralyzed by a fear of action. Israeli elites had lost their souls and have continued to contaminate the entire Israel. The only hope is in the true Zionists -- but will Israelis vote for them, or will they keep on choosing more of the same? The time is running out.
18. # 12 You Funny Man
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.01.09)
Like it...
19. Hit Tel Aviv, opportunity to Nuke Gaza.
Stephanie ,   Brussels   (01.02.09)
Israel would be wise to consider the option of waging a limited nuclear attack on Gaza should they dare to attack Tel-Aviv. This could provide the opportunity to decimate Gaza once and for all. After all, they democratically elected their terrorists government, much like what happened with the Nazis back in 1939. An atomic attack would have been justified back then as it would today.
