31. #7 that's a stupid theory, hamas are not defending gazans
r.f.   (01.19.09)
they are just hiding behind them. hamas are terrorists the gazan people are under their terror too. israel doesn't fight gazans, it was never israel's objective to fight gazans, and hamas know that.
32. 9 - you're funny
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (01.19.09)
"Hamas fighters were fighting to death". so why didn't more die? even if you gullibly accept hamas' numbers, israel still kicked their butts up and down the strip. did hamas stop israel? no. israel stopped itself. all hamas could do was sit and watch (from their concrete-reinforced holes in the ground). like you say, "Hamas fighters were fighting to death". hahaha.
33. Hamas talking about rearming
Brod ,   USA   (01.19.09)
Hamas must be dethroned completely. And this means Israel has to deal with their master head-on. Their master has threatened to annihilate Israel repeatedly. Former President of Iran Hashemi Rafsanjani has threatened to use nuke to wipe off Israel. And presently, the Ayatollahs are feverishly working on their nukes to accomplish their evil intention of showering Israel with a Mushroom Cloud. It is time Israel takes the decisive step to defend itself against this greater threat to its security, survival and existence. And this has to be done no matter what the world says. Once it is done the Free World should be thankful to Israel for saving it once again. The world should not forget that it was the work of brilliant Jewish scientists in WWII that ended the war through Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
34. the song of hamas!!!!!!
Robert ,   farmington ,wv   (01.19.09)

35. #9 reaching the heart of gaza was never the idf's objective
r.f.   (01.19.09)
36. #7-ha ha ha ha ha! How old are you?

40. Reminds me of Comical Ali
Motek ,   Oslo, Norway   (01.19.09)
Hamas' spokesperson, Abu BlahBlah reminds me of Iraqi spokesman Comical Ali - when he, on live television, denied that there where American troops in Baghdad - while the viewers could literally see the American troops moving in behind him. If you don't remeber comical Ali, here's a reminder: http://www.welovetheiraqiinformationminister.com/ I also want to say: Great job IDF! Too bad that your moving out already. Hamas has been hiding like true cockroaches during this war. I think you should continue the bombing of terrorist Hamas.
41. At least 48 weren't hiding
Alicia ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
The rest were dug deep in underground to save their own asses - and left the Palestinians to take the brunt. Scum bags.
42. Deluded Professional Liars
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (01.19.09)
There really is no hope for these misguided fanatical fools. They just don't get it.
43. 9 David USA
(01.19.09)
may the hamas bastards have morer victories like these
44. If Hamas vows to rearm, Israel vows to re-destroy....
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.19.09)
So before all those bleeding-heart countries donate (throw away) billions of dollars to Gaza, keep in mind that your sh-t-for-brains recipients have vowed to reignite the fighting when they feel strong enough. So your money will be vaporized again. (at least the small amount that DOESN'T get hidden away by Hamas and Fatah leadership for their personal use.) Once again, Hamas proves by its own statements that it's unfit to govern Gaza.
45. I Was Surprised By Weakness, In + Cowardice of Hamas
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (01.19.09)
46. We won and u lost (understand it)
QASSAM ,   PALESTINE   (01.19.09)
(soon u will be out of palestine) how did we win? 1-livini said she will end hamas gov. but hamas still stronger 2- so called israel said it will destroy hamas rockets but after the war hamas still firing rockets (so ur leaders are lieing) 3- we have 48 killed but u 80 soldiers 4- we are stil saying we r smuglling weapens ,so u didnt do anything but killing people with F16(very braves) 5- we still have shalit with our demands 6- we fired rockets on Hitsarem air base(its neculear air base)and molahai defense base(it has heets rockets to defend u from Irans rockets) so at last we have broken Bingorun security theorem(no nuclear use,war on both sides,no quick victory) get that u lost and we won
47. to mike #1
john ,   bermuda   (01.19.09)
again Vietnam vet criminal bigot xian fanatic jerk is trying to be smart. am sure in Vietnam you ran away and you were shot in the butt where your brains are kid. I pity your xian arab wife trying to stand for your absolute ignorance and mean mein.
48. Hamas should be made to Surrender
Stefan ,   Atlanta USA   (01.19.09)
I encourage Israel to make Hamas surrender - Don't settle for a ceasefire. History has demonstrated in Japan, Germany and Iraq that making your enery surrender works. History ha also shown in Korea, Vietnam, Somalia and Iraq that ceasefires do not work. Israel should bomb Gaza until Hamas surrenders!
49. How Generious
Peace ,   TLV Israel   (01.19.09)
Two weeks to get out ?. Oh thank you so much. very generious of you. And let me thank you for letting us play in your yard with my brand new toys and boys. It was really king of you staying where you were. Dont forget any time you want same treatement it will be a pleasure to assit you. next time around please stay close so I see you. and offer you our kindness, we will not forget the seventy you ask for
50. To 'qassam" in pali-never
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.19.09)
1. livni did say she will end hamass.By not allowing Tzahal to do so she will be leaving office. 2. some rockets are probably left, true 3.You lost 48 'soldiers'?That's not what your own 'pali sources' and al jazeera say - they state over 800! 4.We know you still smuggle. Next time there will be less of gaza to destroy 5.TRUE - which is why there will be a right wing Israeli gov't on Feb. 10th 6-Only ONE hamass report claims a hot on our air base. NOT EVEN the most pro-terrorist media (not al jazeera,not BBC,not the Guardian)reported or believe that What we DO know is that hamass thanks you for all the virgins you allowed them to use as human kevlar!
51. #7 - Zyriab - Or they could just try peace for once
William ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
It's was the arming by Hamas, the kidnapping of soldiers, the mortars on crossing points, and rockets on civilians under the ideology of destroying Israel and all Jews that brought Gaza this war in the first place. Gaza should be as the Golan buffer zone is - totally and 110% de-militarized, controlled borders with a free-trade zone, and an open invitation to live and work in Egypt....but not in Israel. That's fair and will ensure both sides working for a better life and economy. And if Hamas wants to dance again...it can get its clocked cleaned...permanently. Or the Gazans can stand up and protest. Hahahaha - what am I saying? The Gazans only claim innocence when they're hit back. They'll be handing out candies celebrating death again.
52. #9 - what do you call locking women and children....
William ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
in a building and setting off explosives from the tunnel, sniping at soldiers from th upper story, or launching rockets next to children in a playground? You call them "Cowardly Hamas" Your claim was never proven and reported by Hamas and Pal journalists. We see where you get your news from.
53. # 46, you stoned?
Ed ,   Mexico   (01.19.09)
are you stoned dude? hahaha its sad that because of ham-ass'es like you that their will soon be another campaign against you. you think you won so you want to keep fighting an impossible to win war. keep dreaming man! then the easier it will be for us. As Arie puts it, less to destroy the next time.
54. #46 - Qassam - if it helps you sleep at night
William ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
Trying to regain your shattered masculinity as you got your asses kicked across the desert. Nevermind - please go on believing in your victory, as long as it helps you sleep at night... I wish you many more such "victories"
55. #46 Everybody Lost
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (01.19.09)
As long as there are wars caused by blind Islamic fanaticism everybody loses. Which part of this do you fail to comprehend?
56. philadelphia strip
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (01.19.09)
untiisrael occupies the philadelphia strip it cannot control the arms smuggling and thus has lost the war relying on other nations to sop the smuggling is doomed to fail israel can only rely on herself and G-d will ensure success relying on other nations is a lack of trust i n G-d and is therefore doomed to faill
57. TO # 50
QASSAM ,   PALESTINE   (01.19.09)
so u admit that ur leeadership hasnt done any thing of its aim then ALJAZEERA and BBC isnt our sources this is our sources http://www.alqassam.ps/english/ then the 800 u say isnt 800 its 1200 civilian not QASSAM we declared 48 and we r proud of them and we said there name
58. #47 i hear us citizens are being obducted by aliens in the
(01.19.09)
barmuda trianle. i would marry mike if he were old enough. mike? it's rina
59. #29 Zyriab - Clutching at straws .Flaccid comment
Nudnik   (01.19.09)
Yes the media ban had an effect. It stopped them being used as intel for hamas. It frustrated the hell out of them. You obviously have no idea about Israel and Israelis, Jews for that matter. Casualties - each life actually means something to them. Its not easy to 'hide' the figures.The Gilad Shalit affair is pertinent - totally lost on you though.
60. Let IDF win!
Dvir Noiman ,   Florida   (01.19.09)
I agree, it is unwise to withdrawl, Hamas will not stop while Israel exists, so with all good intentions, the IDF must finish what it started. I say to the Isrel government: let IDF win!!!! don't worry about the americans, they worry about Obama right now.
