31. The correct behavior
Felipe ,   Madrid Spain   (01.08.10)
How must be the behavior with the "evil doers", with our enemies? That is the principal question. Study the Bible and you will find the answer, (The Allmighty is very, very clever), look at Gedeon, Sanson, David, Judas Maccabeo....that is the example that we must imitate, brain, heart and will. From Sefard with love to the holy nation.
32. #11 time differences
Rebecca ,   Modiin   (01.08.10)
We bombed the area "Near a school" during the night. They fire rockets, aimed at schools, at 1/4 to 8, when the majority of kids are arriving at school. I am constantly surprised by the need to explain simple things to people who should be reasonably intelligent.
33. Fadi in Beirut - One question
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.08.10)
What's it like, knowing of the past glory of Lebanon, to now exist simply as a province of Syria/Iran and be ruled by Nazirallah?
34. They were warned
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.08.10)
In an extraordinary measure that no other country would even consider undertaking, the Israeli Air Force earlier distributed leaflets warning everyone to stay away from the smuggling tunnels and weapons factories and not to approach within three hundred meters of the perimeter fence. You can warn people; you cannot force them to listen. Any deaths are solely the responsibility of the Gazans who chose to ignore or disregard the Israeli leaflets. Besides -- send mortars into Israel, expect a response. Just like any other country in the world would respond to a mortar attack from a terrorist organization right next door. Not that difficult a concept to grasp, you know?
35. Bibi,Baraks Deterrence Lite
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.08.10)
BS News is another name for Jabril from Charlotte.He can't use his real name. It looks like the level of deterrence gained after Cast Lead was only a thin layer. Instead of targeting high value targets like Haneyih and Zahar and the Hamas fighters AND ALL THE TUNNElS the dumb politicians target only a few useless targets. These are the same idiots who failed to defeat Hamas and Hizbollah when they had the chance to .

Thank you so much! My husband and I laughed so hard .... with any luck, you have chased the clown away for good. Only a complete fool with no pride would dare show himself following your wonderful and oh-so-accurate a depiction of BS News in your post at no. 2. As my husband points out, he would be well advised to start his very own "trail of tears." Thank you again for making our day!

Look who,s talking ,another coward from Beirut ,so when are you going to get rid of Nasrallah and the enemy within your country cause Israel,s waiting for you brave folks to do it yourself,inshallah?
44. To: No. 21
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.08.10)
Okay. So what would you provide that is analogous to a country waiting eight long years to respond to daily missile attacks, to suicide bombings, to IED devices calculated to kill Israeli patrols and kidnappings? Given the devastation that Israel can bring, one can only marvel at the degree of Israeli restraint. Not to mention the fact that the Israeli Air Force leafletting Gaza comfortably in advance warning exactly what they were going to do. That said, your final comment is inaccurate. The United States has brought sufficient high tech "star wars" technology to its wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just ask the shades of the 18,000 innocent civilians who have been killed thus far. And now that the conflict has spread to Waziristan and Pakistan, and imminently to Yemen as well, the civilian death toll will increase. Yet you seem to reserve all your vitriol for Israel's limited engagements against Hamas, an enemy sworn to Israel's destruction. Why is that? Are you that blinded by your hatred for Jews and Israel? Have you considered psychotherapy and some chemical assistance for your rabid hatred? Give it some thought.
45. #24 Israel paid In Advance for Gaza electricity, water by EU
observer   (01.08.10)
Sick of calling every Gazan terrorist. The first time since 1948, the Jews calling of people names has been subjected to an INDEPENDENT probe (Goldstone's) and look at the result; state terrorism has been the prime name of Israel's actions in Gaza. Back to Shabbat!, G-d does not have to rest from fatigue as do humans.

47. #11 idiot!
(01.08.10)
a whole kindergarten and an elementary school was struck during cast lead, maiming 2 children. on top of that the entire two buildings were demolished and those that were maimed were a 7 years old that lost his leg and another kindergartner that remained brain dead. you moron! where have you been in 2008? sleeping with the enemy? ye4s, let's imagine if these muslim missiles were indeed accurate. look at sarah b.'s post. hamas is doing all in its power to come out with those missiles which will be accurate. and guess what, they won't lob them at army bases. they will lob them at innocent civilians to create fear, death and damage. israeli iaf aims it missiles towards the sites from which the missiles are fired by hamas. if it be a school in gaza, don't you hold hamas responsible for firing from civilian centers and among civilians? we all saw on the news where hamas operated and fired from...the un schools! from inside mosques and from people's homes that were held hosptage by hamas and forced to relinquish their home so it becomes a terror base. spare us the crying tears for your overs in gaza. and yes, rocks and molotov cocktail bottles have been known to burn, hit brain's area and even kill. so stop your propaganda against israeli retaliation. they deserve to live in peace and without murderers on their borders and will do their utmost to retaliate to anything and everything that comes out of gaza. hold hamas responsible. they are the true war criminals. and you, so far away, have you even been to this area? i doubt it. but if you ever decide to come, please live in sderot and around the gaza vicinity. that will teach you a lesson or two. and while you are at it, try to convince egypt not to build a separation steel wall and not to close raffah either. after all, why don't you direct your complains to egypt. aren't they doing exactly what israel is doing to these terrorists? after all, the egyptians are arabs too and shouldn't they be more lenient to their own brothers? the palestinians? complain to them. but you'll find out that egypt's feelings about these animals is the same one israel holds, unfortunatelly for you. hameed aboughaze, iranian
48. To 45 Do you know what Goldstone said about the Probe?
The Dude   (01.08.10)
"Sick of calling every Gazan terrorist. The first time since 1948, the Jews calling of people names has been subjected to an INDEPENDENT probe (Goldstone's) and look at the result; state terrorism has been the prime name of Israel's actions in Gaza. Back to Shabbat!, G-d does not have to rest from fatigue as do humans. " Do you know what Goldstone said about his own probe? ‘If This Was a Court Of Law, There Would Have Been Nothing Proven.’ http://www.forward.com/articles/116269/ You're holding this up when even the author of states that this 'independent' probe has no value. Nice try, you lose And the fact that the EU pays for all the water and electricity is even more pathetic than not paying your own bills. It also doesn't absolve the Gazan terror state from attacking the facilities, like power plants, which are essentially giving them these services. You don't complain that your car doesn't work if you crash it into a tree.
49. Just ignore anti semetic tbers
Mary Beth   (01.08.10)
Don't open their posts, don't respond. They thrive on your efforts at trying to teach them the truth. which either they prefer not to accept or they twist it around. Ignoring them will frustrate them and that is good. Maybe they will eventually go away.
50. #48 your English comprehension is as weak as your hasbara
observer   (01.08.10)
Goldstone said, “We had to do the best we could with the material we had. If this was a court of law, there would have been nothing proven.” You've just taken the words out of context. The man praises his piece of work; that's to say: with limited resources we have proven a big deal that a court of law, with all its wealth of resources, wouldn't have been able to prove.
51. to dude
Duchess   (01.08.10)
perfect photo choice. I like your posts.
52. To 48 You complain about my English Comprehension?
The Dude   (01.08.10)
"Goldstone said, “We had to do the best we could with the material we had. If this was a court of law, there would have been nothing proven.” " Obviously you are not a very astute obvserver, or have any reading comprehension skills. It doesn't change the fact that HE ADMITS that this probe you are trying to hail as panacea, is not. "You've just taken the words out of context. The man praises his piece of work; that's to say: with limited resources we have proven a big deal that a court of law, with all its wealth of resources, wouldn't have been able to prove. " Actually this is not what he said. I guess I will have to break it down for you to help in your limited capacities in English. "We had to do the best we could with the material we had." He now admits that he does not have the complete set of information. Hence why he states that he did his best. It's also clear from the fact that he ignored and fell asleep during the testimony of Sderot residents also even makes this statement dubious. "If this was a court of law, there would have been nothing proven." This is more obvious what this means to any fool, I guess with the exception of you! You are trying to hold up this as an "independent probe" worthy of sending IDF officers to Hague. He clearly states that this probe would not even be admissible in small claims court. Your blind hatred has made you immune to basic read comprehension and logic.
53. Sarah B. comments perceptive
Alan Shivah ,   Denver USA   (01.08.10)
Your comments are always worth reading. G-d bless you.

Thank you, Alan. Shabat shalom!

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.08.10)
Please don't tell me that you are actually paying attention to "observer" at No. 50. He is a well-known hater of Jews and Israel, and certainly not worth your attention. "Idiot" about describes him precisely.
57. To: No. 50
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.08.10)
Yeah, right. Give it up. You are old and tired news, and everyone knows better. Just take your anti-Semitism and hatred for Israel and go far, far away.
58. #34 warned of breaching the truce?
observer   (01.08.10)
a couple of days ago, Israeli air strike killed a leader of the Popular Resistance Front in Gaza in a breach of the truce. Gazan militants responded by firing mortars into the Negev. Then a second breach of the truce by Israel doesn't need leaflets; it needs condemnation by the free world. Arabs started only one war, in 1973, and were victorious then. The Jews won only one war, in 1967, because they perfidiously attacked without declaring the war. Do leaflets substitute declaration of war?
59. To: No. 58
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.09.10)
Do you believe your own nonsense? Hamas placing IEDs in the path of Israeli military patrols constitutes breach of the "truce." Firing mortar shells into Israel also constitutes breach of the "truce." Firing Qassam missiles into Israel also constitutes breach of the "truce." Israel rather generously leafletted Gaza well in advance of bombing the smuggling tunnels and armaments factory (ooh -- wait -- both are actually breaches of the "truce"). Of course, anyone with half a brain is well acquainted with your myopic view of Hamas -- no, dear, they are not freedom fighters. They are terrorists, and are acknowledged as such by every country in the West and quite a few not in the West. However -- I invite you to wed yourself to their fate. I shall cheerfully pay your airfare to Gaza City. One way, of course -- you won't be needing a return.
60. I do not even open
Mary Beth   (01.09.10)
posts from these horrid types like observer and such. I ignore them and so should all of us. Their morals are different, their intentions are different and their purpose is very very different. After a few times of reading their posts and being confounded by the twisted truth and logic, as well as their obvious hatred, I decided why give them my time, why bother explaining what they refuse to see-ignore them ,frustrate them and hopefully they will go away and if not they can read each others' posts and each others' twisted logic and lies-they can talk to themselves.
