1. Bringing fear back to the enemy
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.03.09)
What have all your goodwill gestures to the Palestinains accomplished ,all the release of terrorists from prison to fight another day accomplished ? For too long Israel has acted softly with the Palestinians and this has spoiled the Hamas of Gaza. . They are so sure Israel will cut and trun away as they did in South Lebanon twice. I sure hope Barak does lose his retreat ,his appeasment skills and manners and is prepare to teach the enemy new realities on the ground Fight for Israel not for PR ! Fight to defeat Hamas,or has this concept been lost to the parties of defeat ,Kadima and Labor ?
2. Still turn mosque to arsenal & pay for it.
Eddie Shor ,   Israel, Bat-Yam   (01.03.09)
3. Those who hide weapons in their holy places
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (01.03.09)
Shouldn't be surprised about Islam's image as the "religion of peace" hehe.
4. The Hamas fight against Israel : A fight to the death.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.03.09)
If we do not understand the present Palestinian violence for what it is - not an effort to end an occupation of some territories but a continuation of the real, original jihad and a fight to the death - then attempts to force an end to the conflict will only help make inevitable the catastrophic conclusion that all but the religious fanatics are dreading. International condemnation of Israel only gives it more power. More about the spirit of Jihad at : http://xrl.us/bebdoa
5. Warning: Propaganda Alert.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.03.09)
A mosque is no longer a place of worship if they store arms & ammunition in it. It becomes an arms cache & is a legitimate military target. Terrorists should not bring their children with them when they go to a military target - that's if there was even a child killed, never certain with Palestinian liars. Right, dozens of people were praying but I guess no one was listening. Maybe the Imam should have warned his flock that arms were stored in the mosque but I don't believe they were simple people just praying anyway. ''Palestinian sources'' are about as unreliable as you can get.
6. "palestinians" are famous liars! why is this reported as f
(01.03.09)
7. starting to bomb the true enemy
Y ,   Nitzan   (01.03.09)
As the leftists refer to the bombing of the Atelena: holy is the bomb that blew up the mosque; regardless of whether it was used for weapons storage. It's important to understand with whom we're at war with. I'd identify the enemy but the censor won't allow it to be printed.
8. is tha the best u can do?
salsero ,   London   (01.03.09)

9. " Palestinian sources reported.": source of famous LIERS!
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.03.09)
10. The mosques that should be destroyed are on TEMPLE MOUNT!
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.03.09)
11. hams crying on al-jazeera
marcel   (01.03.09)
Why are you crying on al-jazeera, the trash channel. You say you love death and 70 virgins await you in paradise? That jews are weak and worry about casulaties, but you are brave and glorious martyrs. So why blare pictures of the dead and show arabs wailing?Iisn't it against your religion? Now if Olmert would see Assad for what he is, President of a country that invented assassin and deep into terror, he would never have negotiated with him. And I can tell you that Israel will not allow olmert to negotiate with syria in the remaining time he has.. Assad's got iranian stooges visiting him, now he pleads with putin to get Israel to stop. Why does Syria even care about gazans, they've done nothing for them over all these years. And gazans can finally do themselves a facor and call or e-mail israel and tell her where the concentrations of hamas are and collect rewards and maybe jobs. Gazans, do it for your own interests. Look, even yusef's son says hamas and his father a bunch of liars and killers who don't care for you.
12. "...people were killed Saturday evening..."
Israeli ,   Tira   (01.03.09)
Unfortunately Allah hates all Palestinians and Israelis(also the children). We can NEVER satisfy him with our death toll.
13. The wewards of pathology
Cameron ,   USA   (01.03.09)
14. Do Muslim Children attend public prayers in Mosques?
Not in our Country   (01.03.09)
15. Lime Yellow paint and reflective tape
Gideon Reader   (01.03.09)
...did not stop the IDF from specifically and purposefully targeting a clearly marked extended type articulated (which does not exist) School Bus full of severely disabled children, each holding a gift of cancer fighting medicine for pregnant mothers, (in the last two days prior to delivering) in whose company a large number of elderly pensioners, found to be nutrionally deprived due to the criminal closure by Israel for NO appearant reason, all of whom were at the final stage of starvation; each and everyone the picture of innocent peace loving peoples, who are residing in the huge ghetto of Gaza because of having had their land stolen by the JOOOOOS. It is noteworthy that the pitiful few survivors of the IDF criminal bombardment, crawling through their own blood to reach help from the selfless volunteers of the International Solidarity Movement , Morons without Borders, Gvuls with Wankers, Shalom Achshav(Obama Brigade), Tossers with No Reason for Existance, and the Screen Actors Guild, were straffed by Israeli helicopter gunships, as they reached out with clawlike hands; their lives snuffed out like so many candles in the wind. Howzat? Think there is a job at Al Bulshiteria or the UN High Commission on Israeli War Crimes waiting for me?
16. Game Up Pals....
kenstee ,   USA   (01.03.09)
No more hiding like old, scared women in Mosques and Hospitals. The IAF bombs will find you. You wanted jihad you got jihad. And now you are too frightened to face death like real men and true believers.
17. Putting the fear of God in the enemy
Jules Gilbert ,   Boston, MA. USA   (01.03.09)
Marcel and Ze'ev are right! Israel should focus on fighting Hamas, let the friends of Israel worry about PR. Maybe some people don't realize this, so I will say it: People who love God naturally support Israel, people who are at odds with God, not so much...
18. you are so wrong!
Jules Gilbert ,   Boston, MA. USA   (01.03.09)
Actually God is on record as loving Jacob and hating Esau. Read Malachi.
19. Place of worship??
Natan   (01.03.09)
Or maybe a place of "warship"...As we say, "you made the bed, you sleep in it"
20. #8 on bombing mosques
Zack ,   BeRkeley, USA   (01.03.09)
The ragheads use mosques to hide weapons caches, the idea being that if they are attacked they can then complain the Israelis are attacking religious shrines. All targets are legitimate in Hamastan, especially the homes of Hamas leadership. Everyone of these pukes is an Ahmed Yassin.
21. #8 - Just following Intl Law
William ,   Israel   (01.03.09)
I assume you're Christian (although in the Islamic republic of England, it's hard to tell)....would you accept your community placed in danger with explosives placed in your church? During a invasion, say WWII for instance, would you take your children to underground shelters or to a cafe on the surface during the shelling from Germany? Now ask why Gazans don't have the same respect for themselves and their children. Not our problem when Intl law takes away sanctity of mosques for weapons storage. Arabs just thought we'd bog ourselves down with Western laws and PR while they waged an extermination war....they were wrong.
22. Bombing Mosques
Rube Vogel ,   Jerusalem   (01.03.09)
Do the authors of this piece have so little respect for human life and truth that they forget to mention that: 1) The mosques are being used as weapons stores 2) Israel drops warning leaflets before attacking these targets.
23. is it the best Israel Can do?
Nader ,   Nablus   (01.03.09)
except killing Kids and Women, nothing new in the strike against civilians, what we can see cant be anything except that israel is number one of the best countries in the world that doing terror against people at homes, universities, mosques, and as we know and we see on TV's all fighters are safe and ready to face to face fighting against ur solders, we can fight solder for solder, but u only believe with Air Strikes against Civilians....hehehehe....but we will win, we Trust our GOD...he said "Jews are going to be killed one by one"...we are waitting, it is ur time now, our time is few days later...
24. MOSQUES ARE NOT AIR -RAID SHELTERS
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (01.03.09)
i'D SOONER BE IN AN AIR-RAID SHELTER THAN RELY ON DIVINE SPIRITUAL POWER TO PROTECT ME IF I WAS A SUBSCRIBER TO HAMAS HAMAS BELIEFS...THEY HAVE GOT THE WRONG END OF THE STICK AND RECEIVING THEIR JUST DESERTS.
25. ALL THE NEWS COMING FROM GAZA ARE LOCAL HAMAS REPORTERS
HAL TRIPP ,   LA PAZ, BOLIVIA   (01.03.09)
ALL THE EUROPEAN NEWS AGENCIES INCLUDING BBC AND CNN USE LOCAL REPORTERS FROM GAZA.HOW LONG DO YOU THINK A LOCAL GAZAN JUST SHOWS ONE OUNCE OF SYMPATHY FOR ISRAEL WOULD HE BE ABLE TO WORK OR EVEN TO STAY ALIVE. GOD BLESS THE YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN OF THE IDF, THEY ARE DOING A WONDERFUL JOB,TODAY WE PRAYED FOR THE SAFETY OF ISRAEL .SHABBAT SHALOM FROM BOLIVIA
26. #23 Brave Gazan
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.03.09)
Bomb the hell out of Israel then complain when Israel strikes back. The truth is documented which is why support for Israel is flowing in. You better take cover. And thanks for explaining what your god said.
27. warning propoganda alert
shmujew ,   unholyland   (01.03.09)
Every time you use the word Palestinian, you are handing the enemy jews on a silver platter. There is no such thing as "Palestinians". These are Arab Squatters who migrated to the land of Israel when the zionist enterprise began in the 1840's. Prior to that very few arabs lived in the land. There is no Palesinian culture. There is only Arab Culture...please stop this word which was propogandized by the mass murderer Arafat after the 1967 war, please discontinue its use. You are only assisting the enemy.
28. They hide behind mosque, women children
Bombs away ,   IDF ROCKS   (01.03.09)
these so called brave men I heard grumblings that we shouldnt attack mosques coz it would be considered an attack on Islam..give me a break..I say if its good enough for the iraqis to bomb mosques, then its good enough for us.
29. I'm not the first to point out this contrast
Mark ,   US   (01.04.09)
Palestinians use women and children to protect their weapons and soldiers. Israelis use weapons and soldiers to protect their women and children.
30. To # 15 Gideon
Jeffrey ,   Boston   (01.04.09)
Now that's what I'm talkin about!
