Israelis know that Hamas is totally dedicated to their personal and collective destruction. The group will not moderate, cannot be bought off, and will not respect any agreement it makes. As a result, the usual kinds of diplomatic tools — concessions, confidence-building, agreements, moderation resulting from having governmental responsibilities, will not work. Any solution short of Hamas’s fall from power will bring more fighting in future. Hamas shouldn’t exist : http://xrl.us/bechf2

Until they stop- even if Gaza becomes a parking lot.

Seems like the effects of our Gazan exercise a year ago are starting to wear off. I guess, we will just have to clobber them again. One wonders if the Arabs are not really masochist gluttons for punishment? For sure, they behave like immature children.

Iron dome will intercept any rockets or missiles from the range of 4 to 70 km. You see!, intercept during action without foretelling the destination or timing of rockets. Most of the rockets fall in open fields without injury or damage, as those 7 mortar shells. Iron dome can deal with salvoes of rockets, but what about disseminating those rockets in time. Then, let's put it it this way; how many $ cost those 7 mortar shells. That is the real test of the Iron Dome; cost-effectiveness.

Where are you; to utter your prolific, prophetic judgment anouncing the criminal actions of the Jews? Where are you; to show how 'level', and how 'balanced' your reasoning and 'feelings' are???!!!! WHERE? 'Attila the ranting troll'

Anti-Semitism has plagued the world. we <3 ISRAEL! love ya

Violence never solves any problems, any sane person must realize that. I cannot understand what these people in Gaza think they could gain by their action. Just as I cannot understand what the Israelis think they would gain by being rigid in the, so called, peace negotiations.

Hezbollah, the PLO, Fatah, Al Queada, the PRC, Islamic Jihad, and all the rest to the list. Iran now has influence over Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen and Somalia, with help from Russia and North Korea, not to mention allies in Africa, Central and South America, with terror sells and training camps operating all over the world. All funded by oil dollars being supplied by much of the free world. The greatest weapon against our enemies is alternate fuel/energy tech., without the oil money, they disappear.

We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction. Aesop (620 BC-560 BC) Greek fabulist

won't mind getting rockets in your neighborhood. just know that you will be unemploy cause none will go to area where they can get rocket. so the damage isn't for house but much more than that and along 9 years I reckon it can add to nice sum :)

exactly when they know children are on their way to school. Who is commiting atrocities against children now? Where are all the bleeding hearts to scream about Israeli children. When the evil regime in Iran falls, a lot of this will end.

...a second time and clean the cancer - this time for good. If Palestinian non-combatants have any sense, they should leave their homes NOW before they are used by Hamas as firing positions. They should know that according to the Geneva convention, ANY shource of fire can be LEGALLY regarded as a VALID MILITARY TARGET regardless of its usual purpose. That includes: schools, mosques, hospitals and private homes. The Coalition Forces in Iraq and in Afghanistan have operated under this assumption and there is no power in the world to prevent Israel from doing the same, especialy since, AGAIN, the Palestinian Terrorists start provoking Israel and firing deliberately into civilians over the Internationally-recognized border. Anybody who claims to the contrary, is an Islamo-Leftist racist bent of genocide of the Jewish people.

Iron Dome actually tests the likes of you and the more you laugh about it or bash its performance or "cost effectiveness", the more proof we get that the frustration is raising... thank you for confirming it! Bottom line, we do NOT look at any kind of "cost effectiveness" - we look at saving our civilians' lives. Unlike in Racist Muslim Dictatorships or your Communist Utopia, not everything is money, you know - we value human life MORE than corruption money!

you nail it, it's pointless, that's is also the reason for the blockad pali violence.

Intercepting few rockets of many, that would fall in open fields, is really ineffective, but for PR war. in that way, they can strain your money. Your hasbara is very weak; ein kemach ein Torah.

economics of production, the more you produce the cheaper cost per unit may be. Not being military expert I suspect that rocket, which shots down another rocket is probably not that more expensive than its target. It is system of control that is. If this is the case, then once system is in place number of fired rockets will not add that much to overall cost. Of cause, I could be wrong. However, regardless. One dead Jew is one dead Jew too many.

WELL ! WHAT THEY DONE IS WRONG. THEY GOT NO RIGHT TO FEAR ISRAELI CIVILIANS. LET ME TELL IT AGAIN. the Salah al-Din Brigades DID SOMETHING WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG. FOR THAT REASON ! ISRAEL SHOULD GIVE A CALL TO MR. ABBAS THAT TO LET the Salah al-Din Brigades INTO ISRAELI PRISONS. DONT TELL ME THAT MR. ABBAS DOESNT RULE GAZA ! HE IS PRESIDENT PALESTINE, AND HE MUST RULE ALL. IF NOT ! LETS HELP HIM TO HAVE THE POWER THAN LETS ASK HIM THAT TURN the Salah al-Din Brigades INTO ISRAELI PRISONS. *** DEAR the Salah al-Din Brigades ! WHAT YOU DONE IS SO STUPID. YOU KNOW WHY ? BECAUSE WE EXPECTED MUCH PATIENT FROM YOU. THOSE ROCKETS MAKES ISRAELI HAND STRONG. and you dont get this point. yes. from now on ! rockets will hurt palestine freedom much than the past. *** DEAR the Salah al-Din Brigades ! OBAMA ASKED TWO YEARS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. would you please wait two years ! thank you.

you repeat yourself maybe this time you will finally manage to convience yourself that rockets r nice thing cause the others don't really buy it.

And the world just yawns. There will be no UN meetings, no Goldblather, no international condemnation (unless we attempt to stop these war-crimes). No other nation on the planet has ever been or ever will be treated this way. That is the truest definition of anti-Semitism in the world.
