1. Demolish the entire area used as a launch site.
Hamastrobate ,   Toy rockets do kill   (02.01.09)
Get serious. Get in there and clear the entire immediate vicinity proximate to the launch site/s. Also, any attempts to re-build ANYTHING. DESTROY, STOP that too. Let them enjoy total squalor. It seems they prefer it that way , anyway.
2. Israel
james   (02.01.09)
as long as you pussyfoot around with Hamas et al you will get hammered. they want to destroy you , you know what to do ! the world does not give a damn if jews get killed in Israel or in Mumbai
3. all i can say is
(02.01.09)
that america, england and the other civilized countries around the world have not suffered enough terrorism, bombings, killing and suicide attacks for them to wake up. what do they not understand? are they so naive? it boggles the mind that we, the civilized nations of the world are encouraging and want dialogue with those that are at the bottom of civilization, at the bottom of education and productivity, at the bottom of human rights and decency and at the top of terror, mayhem, killing and hate. it boggles the mind that nowadays, decent people all over the world want to talk and therefore legitimize such abhorent regimes as these 4th world countries in the middle east. what is needed, and i hate to wish it on anyone, is a 9/11 in each and every country wishing for dialogue. only then, can everyone who is a leftist, a pc correct person, a diplomat, etc... would be able to understand what israel is fighting, what israel has to put up with all its 60 years of existence and realize that these people will engage in dialogue, lie, twist the truth, lie some more and at the end do what they want and dialogue be damned. i feel sorry for the civilized nations of the world that year after year they repeat the very same mistakes that will at the end terrorise them and annihilate them.
4. I guess Hamas wants Israel to have a right-wing government
Chaya ,   Bat Yam   (02.01.09)
5. THIS IS HAMAS DEFEINTION OF A LONG TERM CEASEFIRE
zionist forever   (02.01.09)
More evidence that this government has turned what could have been a victory into another Lebanon style defeat because of the way we chose to end the war. The IDF were doing a very good job and were well on their way to destroying Hamas as a fighting force in Gaza maybe even getting Gilad back unconditionly. Then we decide we are gonna be good guys again before anything is even negotiated we declare an unconditional ceasefire frst and start negotoating later. Hamas are already firing rockets, for Gilad Shalit they are demanding a price we have rightly considered to high for the past 2 years because they know Livni will pay any price to get him back before the election in the hope it will win it for her. Hamas are also threatening us with Gilads saftey again like they have been doing for the past 2 years ... do somethng they dont want and its REMEBER GILAD SHALIT YOU DO WANT HIM BACK ALIVE DONT YOU. If anything this government has not only learned nothing from their Lebanon failings but they have decided to go for a deal thats even worse than 1701. We also wasted those last days before Obamas inauguration and so now we got him breathing down our necks as well & George Mitchel saying open borders & let the PA control them because that will stop smuggling of weapons. We have got a few little token gestures from the Europeans & USA like stopping an Iranian boat but once we have calm they are not going to be constantly patroling waters and Egypt cant be trusted. Billions of dollars later, dead soilders & civilians, what have we acheived? Hamas are down but not out and already blackmailing us again and we are accepting their demands. Gilad Shalit is rotting in Gaza still not even a Red Cross visit & the price of his freedom hasn't dropped at all. We screwed up once again now somethng we are experts at doing. Olmert said it himself we are tired of winning and tired of defeating our enemy.
6. Olmert, Livni, & Barak discuss missiles.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (02.01.09)
Olmert: I don't care, I'm not a candidate. Excuse me, my lawyer is on the phone. Livni: I'm sinking in the polls - maybe I should make another tough speech. Barak: I think I'll close the border crossings for 15 minutes tomorrow. Say, Tzippi, do you want to borrow my collection of old speeches?
7. Wow! "They're not interested in escalation"
Tevye ,   Chelm   (02.01.09)
and that's why they , since we also arent interested in escalation, continue to fire rockets, every 2 ,3 days a few. For the citizens in the south nothing really has changed, Hamas is playing the same game, and after the big war the government is too tired to respons seriously. Back to square 1....
8. They don't Act ?,Boycott Elections
David ,   Israel   (02.01.09)
If they don't act on those rockets like promised then We should boycott the Elections in 10 days Simple as that
9. Israel must finish the job!
Frank ,   USA   (02.01.09)
10. The rockets on Israeli territory cannot be tolerated.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (02.01.09)
The principle of self-defensive pre-emptive strikes are legitimate, as are targeted killings. That applies to heads of states who support terror, as are any and all heads of terror organizations, including religious and/or political leaders. Unfortenately democratic countries have traditionally been unable to agree on a definition of terrorism, a fact that has hindered efforts to fight the phenomenon on an international level. This new kind of war is explained at : http://xrl.us/bebh94
11. So the Israeli leads will meet again to discuss
E.M ,   USA   (02.01.09)
what to do, eat some peanuts and sandwitchs, come out of their meeting saying to the media that Israel will respond bla ba, and ... do nothing. The never ending story.
12. "Cease Fire"
Shoshannah ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.01.09)
Only Katzaleh and HaIhud HaLeumi - http://www.leumi.org.il/english/ - will do the right thing and eliminate the Hamas threat once and for all!
13. They're asking for it - give it to them.
Avi ,   Geneva   (02.01.09)
The Gazans WANT more destruction and death - they hate life, peace and prosperity. Be nice to them, Israel, and give them what they yearn for.
14. ?????????
Daniel ,   Israel   (02.01.09)
??????????????? After all this, again!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????????? The need a bigger lesson! Throw them all out.
15. Crimes!!!!! UN???? WHERE ARE YOU???
Ilana   (02.01.09)
I believe the UN needs to thoroughly denounce as well as investigate this crime against humanity, against young children! To purposefully fire rockets when 4 and 5 year olds are on their way to kindergarden!! What a disgusting culture- no wonder everyone hates them.
16. "BAN & CO" ,INVITE AS GUEST FOR A MONTH IN SDEROT?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (02.01.09)
SDEROT RESIDENTS MUST INVITE BY OPEN LETTER TO PRESS THAT U.N.CRITICS OF IISRAEL SHOULD SPEND A MONTH WITH THEM AS THEIR GUESTS,,VISITING THE WOUNDED ,THE BEREAVED, THEIR FAMILIES,THE ORPHANS,AND PARTAKE OF THE "THRILL OF THE SIRENS AND INCOMMING ROCKETS."WE MUST CORRECT THE MISERABLE MENTAL ABBERATIONS THAT EXIST WITH WORLD LEADERS,AND AS SUGGESTED,INVITE #1 FIRST .
17. #16 its a good idea in theory
vashDi ,   israel   (02.01.09)
but those bastards already know, and have made up their minds to support hamas . no one in the world has the guts to stand up for Israel and we know it, if i were you roland i would move out of london to the countryside, get away from the growing muslim millitant population while you still have a chance.
18. Israel bows to International pressure
Peter Gogan ,   ca   (02.01.09)
Unfortunately, we're right back to square one. Back to the same empty threats prior to the war on tunnels. It's really pathetic to read statements such as "The Defense forces is preparing to expand its response IF the rocket fire continues!" This is totally sickening!!!
19. anyone got hurted ?
atilla karagözoğlu   (02.01.09)
20. YOU SAY ROCKETS... WHAT ROCKETS ?
DENNIS ,   CHICAGO, USA   (02.01.09)
ROCKETS.... WHAT ROCKETS ? THESE TRUSTING HAMAS HOODLUM ARE DEFINETELY TRUSTING ENOUGH TO SIGN A PEACE TREATY WITH, HEY ? MAYBE FOR 12 HRS.?
21. lol Evidence that Cast Lead was is a cast iron Failure
RJBH ,   Methil   (02.01.09)
22. #21 Evidence Hamas won't cease to fire
Cynthia ,   USA   (02.02.09)
And Hamas is still under orders to attack Israel. They simply don't care about the welfare of their own people. That's obvious.
