Our boys in Tzahal did a fantastic job in Gaza. The only problem is that our totally stupid politicians are wasting the effort by their inactivity. The only thing that seems to interest them is their collective political seats. The rest of the country can simply go to hell.

Since we are at the hands off inapt confused corrupt politicians ,supported by a media propaganda machine that gives a voice to anarchists , army refuseniks , blatant self haters and a pro enemy approach , why bother. We have become the laughing stock off the world at the hands off people who are tired off winning. The only vacuum that exists is in the brains off our self proclaimed elitists. While Israelis in general are being kept occupied and stupid , by senseless reality TV programs , like dancing into oblivion or running after Hedonism for a million reasons , with as only goal to achieve 15 minutes off fame. It is only a miracle that we are still existing , because the airheads who run the show here are beyond reason and logic and have no credibility left at anything they undertake. In essence secular Zionism is great at producing loudmouth arrogant morons , who are so devoid off their roots , they will again walk towards their destruction at the hands off people who clearly show their intentions. Our socialist enlightened founding fathers off our fine utopian state , have created a ghetto here , something they hated most about our European historical legacy. They have become a bunch off weak spirited apologists without any foundation , that is why our enemies call for destruction.

Israel has to recognize the clear truth that it has lost the battle of Gaza and that it has lost its deterrence capacity for ever since the war of Lebanon in 2006.

Why would anyone think deterrence works with Islamic crazies? All experience & previous history demonstrates that there is no deterrence when dealing with fanatic ideologically motivated madmen. They may change tactics, temporarily stop attacks, but their goals don't change. Only removing their capability for attacks by destroying arms & infrastructure & depriving them of financial resources can be effective along with eliminating their leadership. This goes for Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, & Iran or any other such organization.

Once the war stops, bullets stop being used, bombs stop being used, F16's stop being used. And then America will stop supporting Israel, why, because Israel stop's supporting the american arms industry. I'm sorry Joe, Peace would be the end of Israel, America wouldn't need her anymore. Your leader aren't dumb, they know Peace is not a solution. I mean look at all the destuction from "cast lead". Now Gaza and their Government get a whole pile of money from the USA, and a whole pile from You, to rebuild so you can do it all over again. War keeps the economy going for Gaza and America, Israelis have to do their part and keep the war going. As for, "The rest of the country can simply go to hell." , I don't think it has to go anywhere.

Havn't we heard this before -time and time again !?, Every time Israel says such things it only highlights it's fear of world opinion and it's inability to defend itself as a pathetic consequence

Stop talking and destroy terrorists in GAZA.

Like Murphy's law, the law of averages in not in our favor. It's the 3rd or 4th time that a missile fell in a EMPTY classroom. No children, YET. If and when it happens, I am quite certain that every citizen of Israel, and decent people around the world, would wish that, that rocket had made a bullseye on the Knesset in session.

Obamas election caused Israel to back off before the job was completed. Let Israel loose and free to take care of business. Clinton's going to make your life miserable and USA will look idiotic, again. STOP NEGOTIATING W/ TERRORISTS ISRAEL IS OUR ALLY WOULD AMERICA GIVE UP THE ALAMO? Seems the biz of war beats the biz of peace, no matter what party wins.

Israel has only given pals gaza.( and Peres now admits that was a big mistake) That's no victory for the pals, they are still living as caged rats in a lab. Their lives are worth zip as their leaders use the females and children as shills and pawns. Israel is your boss, dummy, learn to live w/ it. Make peace not war and Israel will be your best friend, it is HER LAND Arabs can never defeat Israel, NEVER!

the biz or war is endless. Neither Israel or America will add or detract from the munitions biz. How many other arms dealers are there in the world? Each competing for the 'big sale'. All willing to sell to the highest bidder. money trumps conscience in $$$ & war matters. What you forget is that, Israel's becoming more than excellent at arms manufacturing and inventions of war. Don't forget, we wont, NEVER AGAIN!!!!

Gaza operation was failure and I said this, Why and what prevented Israeli people to see FAILURE.: Operation was just a pre-eletcion show by Olmert to rise votes therefore instead of confronting Hamas fighters Olmert did best for a pre-election operation, much blood, civilian, childrens wered shed without face to face fight with Hamas, all completed during air bombing, even tanks were shy of confronting hamas, see there were no rpg destruction of tanks?! Why?because Israeli army avoided any risky confrontation and used tanks to bomb homes of Hamas members rather than confranting them in their trenches. Blood shed to satisfy blood hungry eyes of Israeli Public. Hamas saw how cowardish was enemy and encoureged more. Refused last peace proposals that is also indication gaza operation was total failure. You lost they won.

What should happen is that the international community cooperates in the removal of the Hamas regime. It is an illegal government, brought to power by an unprovoked war against the Palestinian Authority (PA) which was the internationally recognized regime in the Gaza Strip. Hamas may have won the elections but it then seized total power, suspended representative government, and destroyed the opposition. There is no moral reason to the existence of Hamas as explained at : http://xrl.us/beczop

cared about Israel,they would form a coalition without waiting for who gets what cabinet job. Get rid of the kadima/labor gang and bombard gaza till they surrender. No matter if we have to kill tens of thousands of palis. Retake the northern third of gaza and remove all arabs from there. Make it a permanent part of Israel.Let the palis know they will lose the remaining two thirds unless they surrender totally.
