IS THE OCCUPYING POWER,RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SOCIAL CONDITIONS ?.IF THIS IS THE CASE,ALL AGENCIES NOW INVOLVED IN EASING THE SELF-INFLICTED PROBLEMS OF HAMAS,HAVE THE ABILITY TO SAY "WE"RE OFF THE HOOK NOW AND YOU,ISRAEL ARE NOW RESPONSIBLE".STAGNATION OF A SEDENTARY FORCE SUBJECT TO PIN-POINT GUERILLA ATTACKS WOULD CALL INTO QUESTION THE VALUE SO ACHIEVED.IN MY OPINION,THE CARDS HAVE BEEN PLAYED RIGHT,AND HIT AND RUN INCURSIONS BY OUR BRIGADES SO ALLOTED FOR DETERENCE WILL SUIT THE PURPOSE BETTER.THE STRICT HAMAS ADHENTS WITH FUTURE VICTORY CLAIMS ,WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE SMILES OFF THEIR FACES AS ,MORE OF THEIR HOUSES WILL BE DISCOVERED AND ERE-MARKED FOR DESTRUCTION.

it in with sand and topped off with cement to prevent armaments from being stored there and terrorists from darting in and out of it to attack and retreat and attack again.

i totally agree with Mr. Amidror unfortunately israel has to re-occupy Gaza strip for a very long time because it has to crush the Hamas terror group. Only than rockets will stop & Israel should only leave gaza when a modest palestanian group/leader take the responsibility & makes sure no more rockets will be fired into israel.

that its not your children that going in there, and the ppl that commeting about acting and attacking are ppl outside israel which means that if they lose again nothign will happen to you. you have no idea how weak the zionists in isreal, if they lost one soldier then they give up. understand this before you comment, better than wasting you time

the people from Gaza into the west bank too live.We take the whole area back.Then we build hotels and a casino.The new name for the area will be called The Peace coast.No more Hamas and no more hate and violence,from that area.

Wouldn't it be possible to floof the tunnels with sea water ? Just invade the philadelphi route and pump sea water into the tunnels.

Amidror: No choice but to occupy Gaza Daniel Edelson Published: 02.01.09, 10:30 / Israel News JESAJA CHAPTER 11.,VERS 14.,- -BUT THEY SHALL FLY UPON THE SHOULDERS OF THE FILISTINES TOWARD THE WEST- !!!. That is to put ones rule upon them. At last somebody has understood. Orao.

I am Jordanian citizen and I hope my comments to be published (not deleted), from my view point I think the Israelis must not forget that they have been occupying the Palestinian territories, not the Palestinians who occupying Israeli’s land. The Israeli’s practices that we watch on TV every day is not accepted at all by all the Arabs and Muslims around the world, I don’t know how the Israelis occupied the Palestinians’ land and expect from the Palestinians to recognise Israel? Thanks for publishing

control of situation fast .we need to just paralize them, by destroying all tunnels and not stopping till thay are all destroyed. even if it means another 1000 dead (hamas terrorists) so be it

OH BARAK WHERE ARE YOUR TORSHI'S. ANYWAY I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE LETS WIPE THE SMILE OFF THEIR FACES ONCE AND FOR ALL. KICK THEM ALL INTO THE SEA. ROLAND CAN YOU GUESS WHO I AM?

When Feiglin is PM, all Aza Arabs will be moved south into The adjacent Arab State (where they belong). Aza will become OURS and Gush Katif will be rebuilt but 100x bigger than before.

NUTS

Unwittingly, they have provided much needed infrastructure.

Jordan declares war on Israel and loses. Territory won is occupied by winner. What's not understood about this.

We are occupying the Palestinian territories because the have been used to attack us. There were terror attacsk from Gaza and the WEst Bank throughout the 50s and 60s, and there was a military assault in 67. Your army started Shelling West Jerusalem on the first day of the 67 war even though we sent King Hussein a telegram the night before asking him not to get involved in our war with Egypt. How do you expect to be able to attack us without provocation without us responding and taking your land I do want to explain what Deacon is refering to, and that is that the British mandate of Palestine, all fo which was promised to us in 1917 included Jordan as well as what you call Palestine today, and this promise was confirmed by Amir Faisal Al-Hashemi, king Hussein's brother, in the Faisal-Weitzman agreement of 1920. He then went back on that treaty and demanded a part of Palestine for his brother to rule, and that is how Jordan was created i n1947. The zionists agreed to this so I don't think we have a claim to Jordanian land, but it is good to be aware of history before you start making accusations. Salaam
