1. Wonderful News....
Jason   (01.05.09)
Wonderful news for all peace loving anti-Islamic terrorist , humane people around the World! Dig out, ferret out all the Hamas terrorists from their bunkers and paradigmatically take them to the centre of Gaza and bring their miserable, misanthropic hatred filled lives to an end! Only then, Israel and the Palestinian people in Gaza will live in peace, harmony and safety.
2. the MOST important reason for getting hamas captives
david ,   new york   (01.05.09)
the most important reason for getting hamas captives is to videotape them surrendering and in other cowardly poses and putting it on the news. what need to be done is a humiliation of hamas. if they can show them as weaklings the arabs will spit on them. please, IDF, don't capture them and discretely hide them away. make a big splash and show them with their hands up, asking not to be shot. that's how you fight arabs!
3. Excellent powerful army!
Amenotep ,   canada   (01.05.09)
And who has the best army in the world? Russia? Laughable! Iran? comical! Maybe Jordan's minister who flew into a rage because Israel launched a raid to kill hamas! Maybe he himself would be good as any army the arabs have. Israel, you keep up the excellent work! You make us gentiles very happy!
4. are you sure you count it right ?
(01.05.09)
Sonn you will find your self accused with massacering hundreds of people and Hamas will be still there olus you are risking now the lifes of all the Jews around the world .... they will never give up .... you didn't learn anything till now you are useing the same ways like 60 years ago ... you didn't learn that violencs will creat more violencs , you would be so naive if you thought that there is winner in such war .... now every Jew around the world is in danger even inside Israel .... the buses , the restaurants , the discos everywhere like the old time ... and they have their reasons and enough reasons to attack civillians their killed civilians are the reason .... cheers and enjoy the violence ... and the international hate .
5. One other ESSENTIAL objective...
Roscio ,   Rome, Italy   (01.05.09)
Pidyon ha-Sh'vu'im - Redemption of the Captives. The IDF needs to hold on to the bodies of all dead Hamas thugs, along with captured living ones, to exchange for Gilad Shalit. Israel cannot and must not end this battle without performing this vital mitzvah. I am praying Tehillim (Psalms) daily for the courageous soldiers... and suggest to all other readers to do likewise, especially Psalms 20, 46, 83, 120 and 121. G-d bless Tzahal!
6. I am praying for our giborim every day...
(01.05.09)
May God send them home safely to a grateful nation!
7. "they go from strength to strength, every one of them
debra ,   usa   (01.05.09)
in zion appears before Hashem." psalm 84. Hashem sees your courage. bless the brave soldiers of israel and the brave citizens of the jewish nation.
8. PLEASE B"H DO NOT BECOME OVERCONFIDENT
Simha ,   Toronto, CANADA   (01.05.09)
OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU ALL... PLEASE, PLEASE, BE ALERT .. NO OVERCONFIDENCE
9. Enemies read websites
Chana ,   USA   (01.05.09)
Is it really necessary to give so much information about the upcoming strategies of the IDF, when our enemies may use this to further their own agendas? Is there any doubt that they are monitoring the Jewish websites to gather information?
10. They may be playing dead
Hector ,   usa   (01.05.09)
The lull in the rocket fire may be just a tactic as mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.
11. Hurray...!
Ronnie   (01.05.09)
The only language they speak is violence... now, finally, we are "talking"! They talk about how sweet the "shahada" is, well - go to hell or to heaven with 70 virgins, or even 700 - I don't care, so long as you die, you miserable, no excuse for human beings, the slime of the earth, the essence of filth... We have tried to reasonably sit down, like rational, civilized human beings, and come to a peaceful solution. You wanted death and slaughter - you got it! As the Egyptians have said - you've got no one to blame but yourselves, look in the mirror, you arrogant non-entity... Victory IS with GOD, only He chooses the GOOD ones, not the savages, the belligerent and haughty pieces of slime!
12. #4 - nameless coward - we know you well anyway
Fink Ployd   (01.05.09)
".... they will never give up ...." You mean .... YOU will never give up -your hatred - sorry boyo, we are getting them, and your turn is next! We are here to stay. " You can't spell well: "you didn't learn that violencs will creat more violencs"!!!! LOL . What's up nameless, apart from poor English, you haven't been watching the news?
13. No Root Canal Necessary.
Jewish Refugee ,   U.S.A.   (01.05.09)
I think this tooth (Hamas) is too old and cannot be fixed, we need to remove it completely. Does anyone has any objections? For more please visit: http://israelactnow.blogspot.com/
14. Well done to the soldiers
Steve   (01.05.09)
They have done a great job so far. May G-d watch over them and protect them.
15. Olmert won't allow ground troops to destroy 600 tunnels
Mike ,   NYC USA   (01.05.09)
The only way to destroy the tunnels that Hamas uses to fire long range iranian rockets at Israel is to go in on the ground. They are hidden under bushes and all over the place.that you can only see on the ground. The IAF has admitted that you can't destroy the tunnels from the air. Olmert won't allow troops into rafah. He has never allowed them in three years into rafah. Now Olmert will sign a truce having egypt responsible for the tunnels and hamas will continue to bring the rockets in through the tunnels., Kadima has done incredible damage.
16. my last post was meant for # 4 not 9
amymarkell ,   usa   (01.05.09)
sorry for the number mix up
17. Be careful my friends!
daniel   (01.05.09)
18. That is not True. Failed Mission,Swecond Devine Victory
Cordobani ,   Israel   (01.05.09)
Israel will never defeat any body else. even it will not defeat the small organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah. I
19. Hamas must be crushed.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.05.09)
Not breaking the resistance force of Hamas today means that hundreds of thousands of Israelis will be brought within range of Hamas rockets later. A ceasefire agreement with Hamas means that we will soon receive a stronger, more protected, better-armed and better-trained Hamas. Cities such as Ashdod, Be'er Sheva and Kiryat Gat are in Hamas-rocket range. Several Hamas leaders have declared: "We will strike beyond Ashkelon…" More about Hamas and Gaza : http://xrl.us/bebh94
20. #9: stay [reasonably] confident
(01.05.09)
IDF Spokepeople are not children. What they choose to say the medias is cleared before release. Perhaps the IDF strategy is the one "detailed" here, perhaps it is different, perhaps not, perhaps yes...
21. To soon
Jeff ,   Eugene USA   (01.05.09)
It's way to soon to start feeling the pressure of the international community. Stay the coarse. We all know that you won't get them all, the cowards will run and hide. The point is, they need to know that they will be dealt with at what ever cost and the world needs bond together on this. All this cease fire talk that goes on is what they want. They want to terrorize the innocent and hide behind the humanitarians. Good luck / God Bless
22. Go Israel!
Eisenberger ,   usa   (01.05.09)
Bulldoze the Hamas to the sea!
23. #4 Don't your mirror work? Can't you see your terrorist Imag
meir elazar   (01.05.09)
How long can you delude yourself and think you are fooling anyone else? You are simply murderers and terrorists with no reason to exist. 1. You murdered Robert F. Kennedy in 1968 (Sirhan Sirhan) 2. A Moslem attempted to Murder the pope in 1971 (Mehmet Ali ...) 3. You attacked the WTC in 1993 and again in 2001 4. You nearly destroyed Jordan in 1970 and were kicked out in September. 5. Your terrorists held Americans hostage in Tehran for nearly a year and now you are a satellite base for Iranian terror. 6. You destroyed Lebanon and were thrown out of Lebanon. Later Hezbollah tookover Lebanon and destroyed it further and started the Lebanon 2 war with the kidnap of our soldiers. The war you started resulted in massive destruction of Lebanon. 7. Your Global Arab/Moslem terrorist have attacked London, Madrid, Tokyo, Bali, Mumbai, Amman, Sinai, Moscow, Beslan, and on and on. 8. Your terrorists even murder your Fatah brothers in the takeout and threw people out of buildings. 9. You murder and torture your own PAL brothers. 10. You beheaded people in Phillipines, Berg, and Pearle. 11. You kidnapped Israelis, foreign aid workers, journalists, and the entire Gaza. The world recognizes that HAMAS is a terrorist organization. 12. You murdered 3 American in 2003 going to Gaza to give Fulbright scholarships to Gaza kids. Afterwards they were caught and released. 12. You brought terror to the Munich Olympics. 13. You started Intifada 2 bringing suicide attacks to many of our major cities. We devised counter-terror measures which dramatically reduced the suicide bombing but by sealing off all borders to Gaza . Your terror created the conditions that put you in the embargo strange hold. You then refocused your terror to rockets and launched 7500 rockets at innocent civilians. Now we say enough is enough. We will put an end to your rockets and destroy the terrorist infrastructure. If you people cannot see how evil you are and you instead blame us for all your terrorist activities over the world, then you truly deserve to be totally destroyed.
24. to the big mouth 12
(01.05.09)
you have no idea what you talk about you are all just trouble makers , thousends of years you never had peace and it can not be always the other's faults anyhow , this big mouthes we heard too in 2006 in Lebanon ... you remember ? you remember Hassan Nasrallah .... you were all celebrating here the same way you do now and you were all very happy for the thousend killed civillians and in the end your IDF went back menatly KO with alot of damadges and loses and Hizballah still there and stronger ... in Gaza the game is not yet finished it's just a round .... you will see and we will meet here again and i will remind you .
25. To #4: Only Political Radicals And Muslims Hate Israel
vit ,   usa   (01.05.09)
NEWS FOR YOU ! The Anti-Israel Demos Have Been Mostly Muslim - Intermixed To A Lesser Degree With Political Radicals. Israel-Hate Is Not International. Only Political Radicals And Muslims Hate Israel.
26. #24 False bravado
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.05.09)
Israelis live peacefully until Islamic thugs attack them. That's happened in every single war. Go study history. In 2006, Israelis did not celebrate the death of Lebanese. They were busy burying their own dead and dodging the missiles (200-300) per day. Hisbullah is now under watch by the Lebanese military and Nasrallah was demoted for causing so much damage. I don't think Lebanon wants involvement in another war with Israel. Their economy hasn't recovered from the fiasco Hizbullah ravaged upon them in 2006. So stop pointing your finger at Israel and thrashing us with your plastic knife.
27. Decline in rocket fire from 46 to 45/day

28. Re: #13 No Root Canal
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (01.05.09)
B"H You are absolutely correct, Jewish Refugee. But this is no military campaign, please G-d save our soldiers. This is election campaign and shows just how cynical these "leaders" are. They hold Sderot hostage for 8 years now, waiting for the right political timing for them! This "root canal" could be done entierly from the air! But no, these cowards have to risk Jewish lives to save Arabs. Scums! How many Jewish deaths are acceptable for Barak, Livni, etc. to ensure for themselves a fresh seat in the new knesset and in the government?

30. May Hamas vanish
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.05.09)
God bless the Israelis and the Jewish People everywhere. May all of the Hamas be rooted out and killed. May all who support Hamas be destroyed and may they vanish from the Earth like smoke.
