I wonder if GB remembers what rocket attacks did when they were the target.

Great media reporting, better than American propaganda on Israel

YOU ARE SO NAIVE!!! you have no idea what you're talking about.it's just so convenient to write a comment from australia where there are no rocket threatening your life. GET THIS TO YOU HEAD - WE ALLREADY LEFT GAZA A FEW YEARS AGO!!!! AND ALL WE HAVE GOT SINCE THEN IS MORE VIOLENCE WHAT WOULD YOU SUGGEST US TO DO?LEAVE ISRAEL? NO NEED TO ANSWER,CAUSE THE ANSWER IS OBVIOUS REMEMBER - EVERY COUNTRY HAS ITS OWN RIGHT TO PRETECT ITSELF FROM TERORISTS (TAKE A LOOK AT THE RUSSIANS) INCLUDING US.PERIOD!!!

Are you for real? You honestly believe the bullshit that Israel attacks civilians? What is wrong with you people? If Israel directed its ENORMOUS power at civilians "think" of the number of potential casualties. The likes of you should pressure Hamas to "stop" firing at Israel. There will then be "no problems". Disproportionate? Are you kidding? You post a semi rational argument then you ruin it with baseless condemnation. Any other country, let alone the US, would have finished off Hamas and half the inhabitants of Gaza if they were fired at. Hamas count on warped reasoning by the likes you for their prolonged existence. Do yourself and find out the "true facts" then preach in an honest manner.

When the US uses drones to bomb the Taliban no one complains and the Taliban is not an existential threat to the citizens of the US. Perhaps the reporters could state the obvious like "After showing much forbearance in the continued face of rocket fire Israel finally responds to the threat against its population centers and indeed its very existence yet Britain calls for restraint. It would seem that the constraint shown by the IDF in dropping leaflets to warn civilians of the targeted bombings demonstrates quite a bit of restraint. How would Britain react to such overt attacks on its civilians?" Time to tell the story like it is instead of always portraying the Palestinians as poor, oppressed, starving refugeess who are no match against the mighty IDF.

after these pathetic jew hating british cowards,having lost their country to the millions of muslims residing there,they of course cannot stand the fact that the jews still have their country while they lost theirs. what a bunch of pathetic losers

TO HELL WITH THE UNITED KINGDOM OF ISLAM.

Dr. Honey in Gaza (#37) writes, "you know what happens if you get to come near Gazans on foot. We here laugh at you." The IDF *did* come into Gaza on foot, and the "brave" Hamas leadership went into hiding in hospitals and other civilian sites. And your "brave" Hamas resistance fighters took a serious beat-down.

Funny how Americans call the British hypocrites. Isn't that a little like the pot calling the kettle black? That's ok, I have become accustomed to the ignorance of my countrymen.

which is a compliment.. The world expects more of a modern democracy.

FINALLY IT'S GOOD TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WITH COMMON SENCE IN THIS WORLD. THANK YOU :)

Let me think about this, you feel they are entitled to send rockets into Israel because they have a low casualty rate? What are you smoking? That is no excuse. The border is closed because of their aggression both with Israel and Egypt. They live under poor conditions because in part of their corrupt leadership......

Yes, the british do have enough reasons to be concerned as there are: 1. beeing no empire anymore 2. instead of ruling the waves of the sea, we rule the waves in the tub. 3. Binge trinking up to Brown 4. Lost of tradition( before we had at least T.E.Lawrence, Churchill now we have Brown and Ashton 5.Once I looked on London, now its on the way to become Londonistan . Yes, there are a lot of things to be concerned about but not about the brave boys of the IDF.

The whole situation is like a grown man beating a small child. The Palestinians are not capable of putting up a viable resistance to Israel, since you already cut off all of their supplies and bombed their infrastructure. It should be obvious when cast lead killed several thousand palastinians, but only single digit Israelis that it was disproportionate. Also Israel is the only country in the world who recognizes its sovereignty over the land that it stole in its preemptive strike on its neighbors.

Of course Israel attacks civilians in Gaza on purpose. They attack with letters dropped out of planes telling the civilians to leave the area so that they are not hurt, and they bombard civilians with phone calls also telling them to leave the area so that they are not hurt. Get real, you have no concept of what is going on in the Middle East, but keep up your distorted view of reality and sooner than later, Jihad rockets will be flying in Colorado.

Israel is not in Gaza, so what land are you referring to when you say stolen land? Perhaps we should then take it back and bomb the living shit out of them? This way your message will then make more sense. Dumb and Dumber.

millibrand represents the chamberlain wing of england, the pussies who condemn israel for defending itself. Churchill is rolling in his grave. Target haniyeh and zohar. Keep blasting them and not empty buildings.

anti-Semitism / "Progressive" anti-Jewish Racism / 7th century based Islamism. This story is one more illustration of the manifestation of this ugly phenomenon that is based in Britain and especially in London and sustained by the Guardian and likewise publications.

Bob, you really have no clue. Israel has "sorrounded" gaza with walls to keep suicide bombers from entering. I guess you forget a few years ago when their was a suicide bombing every couple of weeks that killed dozens of innocent israelis (mostly targeted at women and children). The reason these dont happen anymore is because we put up these walls. Why do you think Egypt put up their own walls as well? do you think they want these scumbags coming in to their country? your claim that these rockets are innefective is ludicrous. Just because they dont do more damage does not take away from the fact that they are TARGETING civilians. Israel has always targeted armed buildings and people only. Hamas does a fine job of hiding their weapons in civilian buidlings and cowering behind women and children. All of this doesnt even take into account that Hamas is holding an Israeli prisoner (Gilad Shalit)WITHOUT allowing the red cross or any other organization to visit him, a direct violation of international law. Oh and there was that little episode of them brutally murdering two israeli captive soldiers and then exchanging their bodies for a known child killer in Samir Kuntar. These are the people that you defend. You are just as bad as they are.

when your patchwork society gets to collapse on you we won't be sad at all. who know maybe europe will ship in some of em radicals of all sorts over to you.

the world has had enough of this abomination of a nation.

which were headed for Gaza Car Showrooms (they were going to be driven via a tunnel) Also I read that ECONOMIC GROWTH in GAZA is HIGHER than WEST BANK (although from a lower base) Their stores are packed with goods-we all saw that link with the photos of the Gaza Stores . STOP THE B S So tell me where is the suffering?

we should hold a party whereat we throw their advice into a toilet.

Tamir, good post, but.....you say that Israel has always targeted armed buildings and people only. Israel never targeted people. It was Hezbollah & not Hamas that kidnapped the 2 soldiers in the north & killed them before their bodies were exchanged for Samir Kuntar.

In a few more generations democracy as england knows it will be Sharia law. You anti Semitic, weak and spineless nation mind your own business. Israel has a right to defend herself. The English crown has mass murdered large segments of society thru out her history including wiping out almost 1/3 rd of Ireland under Cromwell. If it was not for the united states saving your butts you would not exist as a nation, so go under a rock and hide you cowardly bastards.

We recognized it long ago, you illiterate ass. It is they who will not recognize our right to OUR JEWISH STATE. For G-d's sake, man, buy a book!

Tamir, ein lo nekuda with people like Boob. They will always blame the Joooooooooooooos, no matter who is to blame.

It seems that so much of England is entrenched in this ignorant group-think mentality that favors the Arabs no matter what the facts are. They’re like Pavlov’s dogs salivating at the next opportunity to criticize Israel (Jews) and protect their beloved terrorists. I hope these pompous anti-Semitic plonkers get what they deserve.

Tamir, you darn well know that ISRAEL mistreats the THOUSANDS of PALESTINIAN prisoners they hold. SHalit was a vicious IDF member, probably harming and making fun of innocent civilian Palestinians. it is know wonder he is a prisoner.
