1. Ending the war is easy - but the Hamas refuses....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (01.17.09)
Anywhere from which fire initiates on Israelis solders should be shelled. Period.
2. Covenient
Faraz ,   Meldreth, UK   (01.17.09)
During this latest heinous act in an utterly one-sided war, Israel has once again provided the world with a means to circumvent the Geneva Convention. Simply claim to have been fired at from anywhere - be it a hospital, UN building, old peoples' home, kindergarten - and you can flatten and kill anyone. Whilst the eorld looks on in shock and disbelief, you are free to go on killing. BRAVO!
3. Dr.Death
Conker ,   Israel   (01.17.09)
4. UN
Brian ,   Sydney   (01.17.09)
There is nothing the UN would get more joy and pleasure from than creating a Jewish Nurenberg with Jewish "war criminals".
5. What do you expect ..roses?
Indigenous ,   statless   (01.17.09)
After the IDF destroyed the Palestinian Air Force (PAF) and all it air ports, the Palestinian Marine Force (PMF) and all its dry and sea ports, the armored units and their warehouses and dismantled all the conventional and non conventional weapons unit (except the missile launching unit - MLU) they had to use these wicked tactics of firing from the doctor's house and the UN compound...and by the way..the UN and the doctor are partner in this..they knew about it..!
6. #2 When muslims kill muslims...
vendaval ,   Victoria, BC, Canada   (01.17.09)
... it's like talking about the weather. Did you ever utter any word of protest against murdering your brothers in faith in Darfur? After all, YOU, muslims (not Jews and not Christians) slaughtered hundreds of thousands of muslims there. Pure example of muslim double standarts, eh?
7. Haamas sniper intentionally fired from doctors home to......
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (01.17.09)
....provoke return fire.
8. And who can prove that?
Mark ,   USA   (01.17.09)
Since the IDF let no one in, how can anyone verify their claims? You saying they too moral to lie? They were moral enough to kill 400 children and call it justified, u think a little lie is too much for them?
9. #2 If Israel wished it could flatten Gaza in 1 day!
andy ,   orlando   (01.17.09)
If Israel really wished to kill civilians indiscriminately as you claim,they could easily have killed hundreds of thousands of civilians! .However the reality is the opposite.Israel has NO desire to kill innocents,only the evil cowardly Hamas terrorists who use civilians as human shields!
10. #2-Faraz
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.17.09)
As a member of Islam that has conquered the UK, you obviously wish to stay ignorant of the UK's own similar history: In the 1940's, the nazis DAILY sent rockets and bombs into civilian populations in Londonstan (formerly london) and Manchestallah (formerly Manchester); when the Brits finally had enough, they begged the Americans to respond, and the Americans did - with OVERWHELMING force; they struck at ALL locations the nazis were firing from, taking in to account that the nazis, like their hamass children, purposely positioned themselves within civilian areas PURPOSELY using the civilians as human kevlar; the US and Brit response was to carpet bomb the Germans - civilian areas AND military! The only difference now is that JEWS ARE PROTECTING THEMSELVES, an item that we all know is prohibited under world guidelines. FOR PROOF OF THAT, JUST READ THE QURAN OR THE KING JAMES BIBLE!
11. Dr. forgot to ask why Hamas put his girls in harm's way
usa   (01.17.09)
12. #8 Who do you want the IDF to let in? al jezerra?? Phuleez!
hamas kills muslim ,   fatah too!   (01.17.09)
13. Bad Training
IDF's Fault ,   USA   (01.17.09)
The IDF soldiers should've been trained to DODGE the bullets and missiles coming from the enemy. That way they wouldn't have to fire back to defend themselves. Can't you Israelis do anything right?
14. IDF is always ready to
Allen ,   USA   (01.17.09)
give excuses to justify the murdering of civillians when it can't achieve any of the op goals. In the air you are lions, on the ground you are puppets.
15. The 'Doctor's' Umbrage. ......
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel,new olah   (01.17.09)
Let us NOT dare forget that the ringleader for 9/11 was a doctor from Egypt, Al Zahiri, and that another from Gaza, Dr Rantisi was also a 'healer'.
16. #2
Jeff ,   Berlin   (01.17.09)
The Geneva Convention applies only for Israel? What about Hamas, firing indiscriminate Rockets into Israel? Why doesn’t Israel fire back with Rockets indiscriminately?
17. reality - 3 less suicide bombers to worry about
ben ,   world   (01.17.09)
wake up world, the Gazans are just Iran's proxy terrorists
18. shame on israel
al thor ,   sheffield   (01.17.09)
This poor doctor treated israeli patients. And he was rewarded with the death of his own daughters by the IDF. This is the face of israel. Israel lost it's humanity and compassion. Really shameful
19. to 2+5: Shelling Israel has a price. Got it?
Hans ,   Germany   (01.17.09)
20. # 2 - one sided? Hello???
Alon   (01.17.09)
Did you happen to miss the 10,000 rockets and mortars Hamas and other groups have fired at Israel...or are you just stupid?
21. Sit your Islamic fanny down & learn from it, Faraz
Cameron ,   USA   (01.17.09)
A great many of us on the planet are tapped-out with the neverending flow of freaky murder & mayhem pouring out of Islamic lands. After many months of daily rocket and mortar attacks coming out of Gaza, the laughing & passing out of sweets for every wounded or dead Israeli, and the collective shout of "jihad" on the streets, has now been replaced with frightened families and holy warriors worried sick now that the Jews have finally arrived for an accounting. None of this ever had to happen. Their own obsessive, Islamic pathology has come back to haunt them, day & night. A big taste of their own medicine, with interest. Looking where to stack the blame, Faraz? Run to the mirror, and take a good, hard, Islamic-style look.
22. The Doctor is a terrorist/spy for Hamas within Israel
Alex ,   US   (01.17.09)
NO doubt about that. Beer Sheva was never hit before. Doctor "Death" is one of the many palestinian spies. Israel is naive enough to let him work in Israel, nurturing the enemy. IDF GET THE HAMAS AND THE REST OF THEM!
23. half the story from arabs ,,,
alan ,   toronto   (01.17.09)
as usual. The doc needs to lash out at Hamas for using their home to target soldiers. A very sad story indeed !
24. Great job IDF, keep at it! We support Israel
Sandi ,   US   (01.17.09)
25. #8 & #14: Call it collateral damage...
vendaval ,   Victoria, BC, Canada   (01.17.09)
... if you wish. Anybody here remembers Kosovo and 78 days' long bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999?
26. #2:A One-Sided War? Only Islam Counts
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (01.17.09)
right? None of Hamas' rocket-lobbing and suicide bombing and tractor murdering and truce-violating counts, right? That's because Jews don't belong in your class in your mind. Well I have news for you. Your inflated mind will eventually be your own downfall, and may it come soon. B'Ezrat Hashem you ain't seen nothin yet.
27. Why is the doctor working in israel?
leah ,   Israel   (01.17.09)
he allowed his home to be used by Hamas against the IDF he works in Israel because Hamas uses all billions of dollars given to them to bey rockets, weapons and explosives instead fo building hospitals in gaza and infrastructure. The doctor is a spy.
28. Dear Mark - USA
ilanit ,   Sderot Israel   (01.17.09)
Come and live with us just for one day !!! I wonder what the American gov. would do if your little nice house will be shelled.
29. ISRAEL HAS NO CREDIBILITY
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (01.17.09)
We in the West who aware of news don't believe anything Israel says unless it is verified by independent journalists or investigators. It is to Israel's credit that, when caught in a lie, it has sometimes "investigated" and told the truth. But too often independent investigators have shown that the Israeli government and IDF lied.
30. To #2 Faraz: The real heinous act
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.17.09)
The real War Crime and heinous act is the firing of thousands of rockets and missiles at Sderot and the Israeli settlements around Gaza for 8 years. Each and every target was a civilian one. Each and every one could have killed OUR children who from your point should all be dead. If not you would have cried out then. We will NOT allow our people to be terrorized by your barbaric friends, Hamas. If you are so concerned about the people of Gaza why don't you call on the cowardly leaders of Hamas in Damascus and hiding in bunkers in Gaza to come out and show their people that they care about them! The fact is they don't care! You don't seem to understand. Muslim Fanatics love dead children in their war of attrition against Israel. Dead children, real or fake hurt Israel so they connive to have them killed making sure the cameras are turned on. They know that Dr. Ezzeldeen Abu al-Aish worked for Israel and spoke to the Israeli Channel10 TV so they probably wanted to punish him and planted snipers on his roof to draw Israeli fire! That's the kind of thing these depraved people do! Regarding your allegations about hospitals, the UN and kindergarten, you seem to have you facts a bit mixed up. Take a good look at CNN and SkyNews (no friends of Israel) at their reports on the geriatric hospital and the kindergarten bombed by Hamas. Some of the old people are Holocaust survivors, (something you probably deny in your hatred against Jews). They went through the hell of the concentration camps and now the hell of being bombed by YOUR heroes, Hamas. Israel protects its children and thus the kindergarten was empty and your lust for Jewish child blood wasn't satisfied!
