I was visiting my Family in Ashkelon and Sderoth during the withdrawal from Gaza in 2004...Thousands of Israeli people were protesting the withdrawal and blocking the highways...The outrage was immense....And I remember the official line of Sharon and his cabinet was, that they need to give back what doesn't belong to them, but if there will one Kassam rocket falling into Israel, Gaza will destroyed... And Israel destroyed several thriving communities for that "peace" agreement that is till to come...The beautiful striving communities,Israel destroyed for "peace" were growing most of farming produces to the country and beautiful cultivated settlements,were filled withSynagoges,schools,cultural centers, beautiful homes. they destroyed only for a new intifada... Thousands of people's lives were destroyed...It was like a Holocaust all over again....And I remember the official line of Sharons Government then saying, that if only the palestinians dare shoot one kassam, they will be destroyed. And now 4 years after we are learning again, that an unfinished job is never going to stop the enemy....The rockets are still flying, but we are all ready to cease fire..AGAIN!!!.Why ???? Are Israelis lives are of lesser value, then the sorry lives of our vicious enemy's ???This is very depressing !!

Permanent, YES. 1 year, maybe. 1 hour, maybe. 2 weeks? stupid.

Israel: Please to the tenth power, don't deal with terrorist. anymore. You know their reason for living is the destruction of Israel. 2 weaks,2 years, 10 years, they will attack your civilians from behind their civilians, (supporters), Please don't repeat the past. Hint: They Lie!

Why in the hell wont you finish the job Israel! I dont understand. You have accomplished NOTHING! You have the power to make gaza a parking lot & you are willing to accept terms of an agreement that caves into all the demands of a 2nd rate terror gang. You should be ashamed of yourselves. Where is your soldier? What are you thinking!

do not agree with hamas any more than with al quaeda --any agreement invites them into polite society and rewards terror

If the release of Shalit is not provided in this agreement, you should be seeking alternative career goals. Your days in office are over!

We are being used! Why can't the crossings be sealed? Let the Egyptians be the open border for their murderous ex-patriots. Instead Olmert and Livni used our kids to pave the way for Fatah terrorists to replace Hamas terrorists. Vote this sorry excuse for a government out! Is Gilad Shalit alive? No one will know until they free a thousand more murdering terrorists for his remains.G-d forbid that this is the case, may he be stong and healthy.

We could have achieved this agreement a month ago without killing more than a thousand people, large part of them children, and without losing 13 people ourselves. . We copuld have asked the Egyotians to mediate in the early December 2008 and reached very much the same result!

Quote :” Hamas will also be present at the crossings ..” NO !!! Hamas et al should NOT be present at the crossings. Hamas can continue to rule Gaza Strip (till, of course, the next election). Hamas et al should NOT be allowed to have arms in the Gaza Strip. ONLY the PA can have arms in the Gaza Strip. The security inside the Strip should ONLY be handled by the PA -- NOT by Hamas et al.

How long does it take to get that stupid ?? Olmert & Co. need to find some gainful employment and stop making G-D's country ISRAEL the laughing stock of the muslim world !!

1. Set up more Booby Traps. 2. Re-arm itself 3. Recruit Suicide Bombers 5. Recruit Hammas members 4. Train it's members 5. Set up fighting strategies 6. Make Israel look bad to the rest of the world 7. Smuggle more weapons (did you honnestly belive it would stop?) 8. Make Israel look bad when it has to go back to Gaza in 10 days. This "truce" agreement is so wrong.

Olmart, Livini. .. GET OUT ALREADY They've distroyed israel in every way possible.

Mother, if you don't give me what I want, I'll throw tantrums.The mother gave in, the spoiled brats got what they wanted.

WHEN will your "leaders" LEARN? Easy answer---NEVER. I give it ONE day and the rockets will be flying again and just like 2006, Israel will do nothing. WHY start something you DON'T intend to finish?????? The people of Israel NEED to take out the broom and sweep the dead garbage out of YOUR country ie ... your self proclaimed, LEADERS. They are a JOKE and the Arabs are laughing AGAIN.

Hamas will never accept peace with Israel,and they will not learn from this,keep the tanks rolling and bomb the Q'uranimals to oblivion,thats all those folks understand,you will regret it if you stop now,finish the damn job!!

surrender and the release of Gilad Shalit!

This is just a bum deal for both sides. A cesation of hostilites for a year at most then what?

There will be an international force on the Philadelphi Route. There is an international force already in Lebanon and rather than making sure they don't rearm they allowed them to aquire more weapons than they had before the war began. Also is this force going to be just look and dont touch or will they have the right to shoot to kill? Egypt will begin using equipment supplied by the US thats aimed at reducing smuggling. Equipment thats aimed at reducing smuggling ... technology to reduce it we are not building physical barriers such as moats that would flood tunnels or undegrround concrete walls like was being dsuscussed earlier. Physical barriers are better than American technology we are trsting Egyptians to control. Israel is going to demand that palestinian organistions stop maufacturing weapons inside Gaza. Please tell me this is a joke, Israel can demand all it wants and once the politics is over they can get back to full production and if Israel complains they will say its our right and what are we going to do complain to the UN, start dropping bombs? The renewed lull will last a year, and is expected to last even longer. What the hell kind of ceasefire is this, Hamas will wait a year or so until they are back up to full strengh then when it suits them they wil be back for round 2 but we will not be willing to respons again we will go whine about it to Obama who will make some comforting speeches. We have spend billions of dollars on this war. Israeli civilians and soilders have died so we can have a year of calm unti Hamas are ready for the next round. We rejected Hamas offer for another 6 month hunda in exchange for opening crossings and ending military operations but we refused and started this war. Now what we are accepting an arab plan that gives us until Hamas are strong enough to fight back. I would have rather saved the money and Israeli lives for another Hamas 6 month hudna rather than a 1 year hudna at the expense of so many lives and so much money, A serious discussion on the Shalit issue, what have these people been doing for the past 2 years? I thought they had been holding serious discusons. Last week Olmert was saying no ceasefire without Gilads release, the Israeli public are demanding no ceasefire without his release. This war has done ZERO for us and its given Hamas everything they wanted, they still control Hamastan, the crossings are open, the blockades will be removed. The price they have paid for this was a bargin .. plenty of bad press for Israel, arabs & islamic world rallied against Israel. We have come out of this looking like fools and Hamas have handful of trophies to show off. It makes you nostaligic for 1701, this government must be punished on Febuary 10 and they must loose by a landslide we cannot be fooled into believing that Livni & Baraks are Israels saviours which they are going to start caiming as soon as the election campaign starts again. Olmert, Livni, Barak - THE TREACHEROUS TRIO

WHO IS THE WINNER ? Hamas won hands down without a doubt & Hizbullah can feel confident that they will beat Israel in any future Lebanon war because Israel will agree to a ceasefire on their terms. WHAT IS THE REAL TARGETS OF THIS WAR? The treacherous trio whose poll ratings were dropping and it looked like Labour would finish 5th place. The trio know nothing is going to rouse support from the public more than a good war, they can claim look what good leaders we are yes we like to make peace but we also know there is a tiime to make war. Then the good feeling nationaly when its all over and they claim they beat Hamas well who can condem them for that. We have lost any deterent that we regained during the war ... billions wasted, lives lost in vain all so we could deliver Hamas a victory.

will prevent a rearmament for sure like in Lebanon. What a stupid idea(If it is true.) !!!!!! Wake up gov.!!!! Read the Winograd report again!!!

We must finish what we began!!!

If you were suffering from 40 years of a brutal occupation, would you not hit back any way you can? Saudi initiative put out in 2002 is still not being seriously considered because it requires pullback to green line. Only 2 solutions: make peace with your neighbors or kill them all.

I was hoping Israel would wipe them out, all of them and then and only then will Israel have peace.

In addition to fighting Hamas, Israel has to fight the the opinion of the whole world, who, except for the USA is against them. Hamas is just a bunch of terrorists, too cowardly to face Israel head on, but content to have Iran supply rockets to be used aainst the civillian population of southern Israel. Now, Israel are the bad guys who is beating up on poor little Gaza and its cowardly population. To Israel: Keep up the attack and kill all of Hamas,

Israel can finish her job in just 3 days, but her hands and her feet are really tied becuse of the UN, the Arab League,EU, the spoiled common people.Probably,Hamas were the one who killed those civilians so that the world will sympathize with them.Clever! Clever! Now they're going to get more financial aid from these spoiled leaders to finance Hamas illegal weapons.

do not stop until hamas is gone. and if you do stop do not have anything to do with hamas. they are full of it and we all know it.
