Eric.... ,   Israel...   (07.30.10)
take Gaza back,it should take about a day,send all Hamas leaders too Syria let them live there.What ever happens ,world opinion is against Israel.Soo lets go for it.
2. Today's Grad is an additional reminder of why Israel's
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.30.10)
security requirements are important and can't be compromised while the negotiators give and take and eventually hopefully reach an accommodation of peaceful coexistence between the Muslim-Arab world, local and regional, and the nation-state of the Jewish people, Israel.
3. Arab league decision
Yohai ,   Galil Israel   (07.30.10)
Yesterday the arab league decided to give green light for direct talks between the palestinians and Israel. Hamas was furious and promised to respond. Is this rocket attack part of the responce?
4. where is UN , Goldstone and Erdogan ?
tomer ,   or akiva israel   (07.30.10)
after arabs finally accepted Direct talks with israels , Hamas ahmed meshal (relaying his iranian bosses) instructed from its damas bunker his terrorists to destroy any peace chance . lets give to these rats of hamas . bur please wait the rats go out from their holes where they are hidding hanieh , el zahar, abu zuri , your time will come , prepare to rejoin your great yassin & rantissi
5. If anyone belives giving away Judea & Shomron
Lioness ,   Israel   (07.30.10)
will bring peace just think twice. Would you like rockets and mortars fired at Kfar Saba, Petach Tikvah, Netanya, Afula, Beit Shemesh, Jerusalem, Hod HaSharon, Mo'dim?
6. Blah, blah, blah.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (07.30.10)
Israel has a new weapon to combat terrorist attacks - HOT AIR. We have an endless supply. We might bomb an empty field later, Ehud Barak is on the phone asking Obama for permission. But, it's Saturday, maybe Obama is playing golf & can't be disturbed. So, in the meantime, our gov't. spokesmen will unleash a barrage of HOT AIR ..... The terrorists are laughing so hard they can't even stand up.
7. barak
alexi   (07.30.10)
they fire terror rockets into israel, you fire big rockets in return as this will permit gazans to feel terror.Helicopter missile strikes are not the whistle of longer range rockets. Barak needs to retire badly as his military doctrine is no longer good. Dressing up as a woman in beirut with a handgun does not impress arabs. Do what the russians did to the georgians and the gazans will stop in their tracks.
8. Hamas a Movement ?
Marcrel ,   Florida   (07.30.10)
I wish to thank the YNET media for enlightening me to the fact that Hamas is now just a 'movement'. The first thing the IDF says is it's not Hamas' fault and they hope there are no more missiles. What kind of army has the IDF become ? No thought of defeating Hamas and ending the threat makes it clear that Israel has come full circle from her 'Never Again 'stance to passive death at the hands of her enemies. Does this sickness have a cure ?
9. Gay parade, and day after rocket.
brl   (07.30.10)
Anyone see a correlation? God tells us quite clearly that if we dont keep His torah, the land will spit us out....
10. Not One Major Foreign Media Reported
David Aarons ,   Jerusalem Israel   (07.30.10)
Not one major foreign newsmedia reported the firing of a grad missile into a crowded Israeli civilan neighborhood but what will be reported of course will be any retaliation but the reason for the retaliation will be conveniently "buried"
11. Nr. 9. Your hatred of gays does not help!
Gavriel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.30.10)
I would rather suspect that G_d is angry of those Jews who are continuously discriminating other Jews and citizens of different life style. The citizens of Israel have the right to demonstrate and fight for equality. Haredim have the rights to stay at home if they don't like the parade. There are many religous gays and they don't feel being discriminated or punished by G_d just because of being gay. Your hatred of gay Israelis make you sound ignorant.
12. UN
avi ,   haifa   (07.30.10)
the UN human rights whatever just called for a lifting of the siege of gaza. never in history did an agressor like rocket lobbing hamas get the justification to import even more rockets. the gazans are not innocent ! the majority voted Hamas as the majority of germans voted Hitler in 33. so they - like the germans- have to carry the burden of this fateful vote: a grad rocket means a 24 h cut of water and electricity from Israel. a mortar shell 12h.
13. To #6
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (07.30.10)
Although I'm laughing, it's at your tb and certainly not at the fact that you're probably right. What the hell kind of disaster will it take for Israel, who has the means, to put an end to this BS once and for all? Maybe there'd be a change in attitude, if one of those rockets found its way to the roof of - insert names of top politician's - house.
14. This is Obscene. Security?...
Yaakov ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.30.10)
For every missile we should return 10 until they decide to stop. Or even better for every Missle to take back and liberate one of the villages/towns. This is why we can not be soft on War and terrorism. NOT HAMAS? What does it matter all the terros orgs work together when it comes to fighting ISrael. So was it Islamic Jihad or Fatah? Funny how the terroist attacks averted recently in Judea and Samaria were never mentioned to be FATAH members hmmmm. YNET how about reporting ALL facts?
15. Mortar rockets on Ashkelon
Ezra ,   Florida   (07.30.10)
Some of the more important reasons for the IDF to win big in past wars so decisively are:1- The IDF lunched a full scale surprise attacks on the enemy and pre empt its ability to continue its terrorism for years to come. 2: There were no TV or so called reporters who show the "inhumane" results of war,brought into your bedrooms by some of the best manufacturers of our time. This media reporting NEVER EVER accompany the terrorists of the "long frustrated " "suffering" "poor Palestinians" when they send their murderous messengers onto the Israeli population and then they cry "big foul" when Israel retaliates. 3- Israel's leaders are by far more aware of this negative publicty in the world that ties their hands behind their backs, that they stopped launching any large operation against the enemy lest Israel is accused of war crimes. So here is what should be done:All cameras and journalists should be banned from all millitary operation regardless of their size.There should be severe consequences for violators who would be brought to a stiff court martial.The IDF should not risk even a fingernail of an Israeli soldier in order to avoid harming any "civilian", they are not worth it. (Have you ever noticed that after evey operation their spokesmen say that Israel killed or injured a number of civilians, never soldiers or fighters?). Go Israel !!!!!!!!!!!! finish them once and for all. Abou Hara or whatever his face is going to critisize you together with his close friends, entire world anyhow, no matter what you do or do not do . The main thing is that good and decent people of the world , the few they are,are behinf you. The rest of them will join after their own desruction get completed by the muslim terrorists world wide. As far as ynet is conerned, they must be dragging their feet so hard inorder to join the rest of the world and then they will publish this letter.
16. #5
Omrii ,   Israel   (07.30.10)
Noone thinks they will stop. Hama will not stop until Israel is destroyed BUT after a democratic palastinian country is born then Israel can be free to Invade Gaza and force it to the palastinian country. Who knows, maybe PO will join israel in the oporation this time.
17. Oooh Goldstone..
Paul ,   USA   (07.30.10)
where are you ? No doubt you are rushing to the scene of this latest war crime !
18. #11 Gavriel
David ,   USA, exile   (07.30.10)
Torah says you are a liar. Torah says that those who practice homosexual abominations are to be "cut off from the people." Let Eloheim be true and every man a liar.
19. #9 - only you do, retard
William ,   Israel   (07.30.10)
How many other things happened yesterday around the world that you'd like to tie to the rockets, huh? You do know some guy pretending to be a messiah was beat up in Carmel Market, right? This too based on words from the Bible...and you're suggestion of the rocket attack being G-d's actions against gays suggest you know G-d's will and thus are a "messiah". If you believe in the Bible, you will accept the wrath of the G-d fearing public on you.
20. Terrorists getting more dangerous
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (07.30.10)
No matter what we do, what we negotiate, what concessions we make the Arabs will continue to push inward in their march to destroy israel & slaughter Jews. That is their modern philosophy and what they teach their children. It is an extension of the "Final Solution" but this time along with a compliant world and weak and naive American President who believes that if Israel commits suicide the Arabs will love us and Islamic terrorism will cease. We need to take strong and decisive actions. 1. Take full possession and title to the West Bank. No matter what we agree to with Abbas another disparite Palestinian group will appear disavowing previous agreements and swearing Israel's destruction. 2. Tell Arabs remaining in Israel to either convert to Judaism or move to Gaza or Jordan. 3. Tell Hamas that the border with Israel is sealed. If there is one cross border attack of any kind, Gaza will cease to exist. 4. Once the border with Gaza is sealed the water, electricity, fuel, medical and food shipments are stopped. Gaza may buy these goods and services at market rates with hard currency only....C.O.D. Let us change the paradigm and end the Arab lunacy. STOP BEING COMPLIANT JEWS WHO WALKED WILLINGLY INTO THE OVENS.
21. Invade Gaza
Brod ,   USA   (07.30.10)
Israel should invade Gaza and install a Pro-Israel government. Such an operation should be done decisively and quickly and completed in less than six days. Israel must never tolerate any rockets or mortars falling on its land.
22. #15,17 war crime? No!, there should have been 3 casualties
observer   (07.30.10)
in the two months a mother and a 75 year old man were killed in Gaza by the IDF.
23. To #1
Mike Townsend ,   FL, USA   (07.30.10)
Not the whole world is against Israel. It may seem USA doesn't care with Barak Obama in charge, but Israel has many Americans on your side. Granted, a lot are evangelical Christians, but plenty like me are not. Things are so bad here with the Democrats, I am now a gay Republican. I wish more Jews would question their blind allegiance to the Democrats.
24. World News
Caryn ,   USA   (07.30.10)
Of course nothing about this is in the world news. The only thing I see is how the Gazan children broke a kite flying record and the the U.N. panel recommends lifting the Gaza blockade.
25. They DO NOT WANT PEACE, BAD ENOUGH
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.30.10)
First, Hamas voice's its opposition to direct talks, then come these attacks. Now the article states that it wasn't Hamas but a different group. I trust the IDF assessment of who fired the rocket. But I do remember the old day when Pal terrorist groups played the "shell game", meaning this, A group declared a "truce" while a new or second group continued to attack Israel. This allowed the first group to claim they were honoring "the truce". The problem was the attacks never stopped, all that changed, was who claimed credit for the attack. Israel should NOT go back to that era.
26. #22;observer, So what!!! Hamas has killed women and children
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.30.10)
The fact is, many of the rockets/mortars fired by Hamas and other groups have misfired, and fall short, landing in Gaza. I know one killed a 4 year old Pal girl, not that long ago. Look, any innocent deaths are tragic, the problem I have is you and your ilk only look at deaths caused by the IDF and ignore the ones caused by Hamas. Plus there is a BIG difference you forget, the IDF is responding to attacks, so their moves are defensive. When Hamas murdered the 4 year old littlePal girl they were in the precess of an offensive attack against civilians (a war crime). So which is worse?
27. I Bet It Was A Mossad Operation
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.30.10)
Israel is looking to start another war in Gaza and Lebanon so they can strke out against Syria and Iran. That water in the Latani River up in Lebanon is a prime goal as well as is the gas fields offshore of Lebanon.
28. This american stands up for Israel
Jew In the US Here! ,   Palm Beach , US   (07.30.10)
You may not believe that obama supports you. But I do and so does my family and associates here in the US. I want nothing more than to see israel and the great jewish people stand up and destroy Hamas and the Iranian mad man ASAP. Enough BS lets get this thing over with once and for all. I for one would be willing to fight along side and for israel if our leaders can ever get the guts to take care of these monsters.
29. Hey everyone #27 is mentally ill
jason white ,   afula,israel   (07.30.10)
Bet he thinks the Mossad assassinated the Arch Duke Ferdinand and started WWI.
30. To 23# I agree with you 100%
Eric.... ,   Israel....   (07.30.10)
thank you,have a good day
