We need to show restraint for peace. Fine, leave Abbas' 'West Bank' alone and start pounding Gaza. Or Damascus.

As they proved in the last few days with the senseless slaughter of innocent civilians, including a pregnant woman, Hamas is not a Palestinian group. It is an Iranian Islamic terror cell first and foremost and Palestinian second. Islamic terrorism is inspired by warped Islamic teachings. We can never get rid of it unless we defeat the twisted ideology behind it. As long as Israel exists and as long as there is a Jewish presence in Israel, there will be conflict. It doesn't matter what Israel does or what concessions it makes, none of it matters. Eventually, like any rabid dog, Hamas will have to be put down.

The quislings of Israle surrender for everything but peace. No peace is coming with the Palestinians only death. Isaiah 28:14-22

PM Rabin, I mean Bibi will do anything to please the moron in the White House.

... in the middle of the meetings he should say 'excuse me for a moment', get on the phone, and tell his forces to: 1) Liberate Gaza 2) Formally annex Judea and Samaria 3) Obtain Oaths of Allegiance from all within Israel, and deport the rest. Enough is enough is enough. To play out this ridiculous international charade of "peace talks" while ignoring several elephants in one small room is willful negligence at best and pathological insanity at worst. The world condemns Israel anyway, another few weeks of condemnation won't make any difference.

Moment of truth for Obama, either he puts his money where his mouth is on his claimed "unshakeable support for Israel's security", or he's proven a liar. IDF needs to blast the Hamas leadership and infrastructure IN GAZA ordering these attacks, including cutting off all power and fuel, stopping all construction materials and cutting goods flow back to pre-flotilla levels to undercut Hamas rule. Obama and Abbas have to publically go along with this hard-line defense talks are to continue - after all, Hamas opposes talks, so hitting them HARD can't possibly upset talks. Recall that talks ended in Dec 2008 because Abbas wanted to show "solidarity" with Hamas in its rocket war against Israel. If either Obama or Abbas objects in the slightest to Israel's all-out response to Hamas' new warfare, talk for a PA state are pointless, and Obama and Abbas will be exposed as liars. All-out measures to protect Israel from Hamas attack during talks are a perfect test of Obama and Abbas.

I'll tell you, with such a courageous ambush, maybe this time, besides the "victory parade", medals of honor should also be awarded. After all it take great courage to commit a drive-by shooting, all the drug dealers here in the U.S., do it all the time, in their turf wars. When will the outrage come? Where are all the Arab leaders calling for UN investigations, International criminal courts, warrants for the arrest of visiting Palestinian leaders. How about world pressure put on Syria, to arrest K. Marshaal who is in Syria. Then hand him over the the Israeli authorities for trial. Oh wait, there is that double standard thing again. Arab leaders can order unprovoked attacks on unarmed Jewish civilians, and murder them, but it's OK. But a terrorist (I mean peace activist) can stage an premeditated attack on the IDF, during a legal military blockade, and so far, what do we have? 1) a UN investigation 2) a traitor MK from Israel, calling for second UN investigation 3) plus an Israeli investigation and 4) call for charges against Israel to brought to the International court. Now Hamas: 1) has killed 4 civilians, including one pregnant women 2) Claims from Hamas it's just one in a string of planned attacks 3) A second attack, premeditated murder, wounding 2 more civilians Yet, as I predicted, there is NO outrage from the same Arab leaders and anti-Israel crowd, that jumps on Israel for some pictures. Or if they sneeze. What else can be said, hopefully the world gets it. But I have my doubts, I'll wait for excuses, to justify unprovoked attacks and murder by Hamas. I'll make another prediction, any response from Israel, and they will be accused of using "disproportional force", my old favorite.

citizens of Israel,you are being sacrificed on the altar of criminaly insane leftis'm,you have a choice,either you rise up and get rid of this traitorous government or die

I wonder how many innocent victims Bibi will tolerate for this talks. He should come back soon. When you ask this question to B. Hussein I am sure the answer be: How many Jews are in Israel...

This and yesterdays incident is a forewarning of what could come and worse without proper security arrangements in the west bank

What Palestinian state? At the rate you're going this week - not to mention the last 100 years - there will never be such an entity.

barak offered concessions at camp david and israelis died on the west bank to which barak did nothing. He stood by frozen by fear. Now he shoots off his big mouth offering concession and more israelis are being killed and wounded. This, the author of paintball guns to the idf. What a lousy general he is!

"THOU SHALT NOT KILL" Exodus 20:15 "He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death." Exodus 21:12 "And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Exodus 21:23-24 G-D will avenge the Jewish blood loss! PM Nathanyehu, bring this before Mr Obama, if he is a true christian, he will obey God's Law, and not pay lip-service only, he will understand why East Jerusalem, Golan Height... cannot be given to Pals, same thing will happen in Jerusalem,,,, toda, Ynet, pl post.

I don't care what you call them, but the arabs do not want peace with Israel. Do not make apologies for them or try to make distinctions. A terrorist by any name is still a terrorist.

that's what happens when you start removing roadblocks...armed terrorists can operate freely

as it did the one the day before, since "it does not serve Palestinian interests". Not a word about the lack of moralibeings, Jews; no condolences to the families and the orphans left behind, none! The implication of course is: it is OK to murder Jews but only when it serves the Palestinian interests. And these are the people Mr. Obama considers "moderate", the ones he has been trying to appease...!!

Oh sure, just like the IDF shooting pregnant women and children in Gaza. Just where do you religious freaks get off . Do you think that God created the universe just to serve you brainwashed Jews - get real, ditch your religion, and get a life where you can think and breathe..

It is a combined effort and they are playing games with your brains. These are just the precursors for something bigger. Just be alert and fully prepared for anything from the north, south and east. With 2 leaders outside the territory, fully occupied with Obama and his doomed peace talks, well that is an opportunity.

No doubt this is what Mitchell and Hillary meant by "Window of opportunity".

They must been passing candy in the streets of Tel Aviv. The actors who refused to preform in Ariel have a good reason not to do so now "whooo it's too dangerous to go there" deafening silence from the settlers haters. where is Meretz and Hadash???

High level officer in the Palestinian Authority called the terror attack that killed 4 Israelis not a terror attack but a military operation. So you think you can make peace with this. They are also honoring terrorists that killed Israelis.

I do hope you in Israel see this as it is. For 67 years you have terrorized the Palestinians, killing them, jailing them, blowing up their homes, and taking their land. If the terrorism of this shooting is a pinky nail of a human being, Israeli terrorism against the Palestinians amounts to a full-grown tiger, very much alive.

Netanyahu does his best ....Direct talks will fail !

"Recall that talks ended in Dec 2008 " when israel broke the truce . You must be a Doctor of tree surgery because to call for the collect punishment (death) of untried persons is against the Hypocrite oath . Who should have bombed Israel for their outrage in Gaza ? "A new UN report exposes a bit of misinformation peddled by the US and Israel and shatters the Zionist illusion that the Gaza war was legal. The report, prepared by human rights investigator Richard Falk, confirms that Tel Aviv was indeed the party that violated the Egyptian-brokered six-month truce in Gaza."" http://www.goldstone-report.org/background/ceasfire/83
