Gaza is a toilet,with the rats from Hamas running the place.Target Hamas's leaders shoot the bastards.
2. IDF attack on Gaza
Shlomo White ,   Kelowna Canada   (09.10.10)
What is this publication all about ? By first glance at this article, this rag would have you believe IDF attacked Gaza unprovoked. Only later, much later, does the writer mention a rocket attack.
3. as expected
observer   (09.10.10)
Israel paid no respect for the holiest holiday for Muslims, Eid al-Fitr, which comes after 30 days of fasting. .
4. GO IDF!
kevin ,   Reno, NV, USA   (09.10.10)
Every rocket launched from Gaza should be responded to with 20 missiles. When you hit these guys back hard, every time, they will begin to get the picture. It's like the Israel of the past. When they were struck, it wasn't a matter of "if" the IDF would strike, it was a matter of "when and how much."

7. These targets in Gaza, including all
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.10.10)
smuggling tunnels, not just one or two, and all operations centres, and all ammunition storehouses and dumps should be hit and hit decisively and not just in response to Hamas attacks on our country anymore, tit for tat.
8. Did Netanyahu get permission

It took long enough ! I wonder if Obama was busy and could not get back to the poodle Netanyahu for two days with permission.the green light to act ?

in case you missed the below facts or your brain is mulfunctioning.... those hamas rockets were sent to bomb israel ON THE JEWISH HIGHEST OF HOLYDAYS. ROSH HASHANA!!!!! where it landed near a kindergarden and could have killed multitudes of israeli children in that building who got damaged...on rosh hashana, the holliest day in jewish religion. and if you believe that people should not deal death blows via sending rockets into another population and respect religious days. it is intersting that you do not ask the question like this: HOW CAN PALESTINIANS IN THEIR MOST HOLLIER DAYS OF RAMADAN ENDING SEND BOMBS TOWARDS ANOTHER NATION AND ITS INNOCENT CIVILIANS WITH THE AIM TO KILL OTHERS ON THIS MOST HOLLIER ISLAMIC DAY???? NOW YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR STUPIDITY? hameed aboughaze, iranian

We paid it the exact same attention that the Arabs paid to Yom Kippur -- the holiest day in the Jewish calendar -- in 1973. Besides, if Eid al-Fitr is such a holy day, isn't it immoral to spend it firing rockets into Israel?
14. #13 in 73 Egypt fought to retrieve its land, stolen without
observer   (09.10.10)
Israel declaring war in 67. Sharon gave his orders of concentrated armored counter attack against the egyptian forces east of the canal specially in the area of "kantara shark" which caused israel a crushing defeat in this day which ended with the total destruction of the 190th armored brigade and its commander assaf yagori fall as prisoner in the egyptians hands, and after this massive defeats general gonen was dismissed of his job as a commander of the southern front and the mission was assigned for general haiem barlev , and after continuous pressure from sharon general barlev ordered a series of counter attacks trying to cut the egyptian forces and reach the east bank of the canal , and all of these attacks ended with completely fail as usual and destruction of israeli forces in such a way israel never saw before and the fall of large numbers of israeli officers and soldiers as prisoners , and because of this sharon gave his orders of complete halt of offense and to take defensive positions instead of failure attacks, Some rare records which the agranat commission assigned to invistigate israel's defeat ensured that ariel sharon himself was the one who told the israelis in some strongholds of barlev line that the israeli forces under his command is unable to help them and it's thier deision to surrender to the egyptians or try to escape to the israeli lines if they could, The gap operation costed israel massive losses in men and equipments. The israeli high command confirmed that it gave its orders for three times to pull back completely from the israeli pocket west of the canal because of the massive loses an israeli military witness said to the agrant commission that the israeli crossing area was the hell itself and the egyptians were destroying everything moving on the israeli side and the israeli soldiers were easy targets for egyptian artillery. The israelis west and east of the canal in the gap area were hostages under control of the egyptian forces , and this political card quickly failed and israel rapidly withdrew its forces deep into sinai.
15. #3 - and Arabs attacked Israel on Yom Kippur, your point?
William ,   Israel   (09.10.10)
And Ramadan only requires half-day fasts, followed by absolute indulgence all evening, resulting in a huge drop in productivity throughout the Arab world (unless you're a terrorist). Conversely, Arabs attacked Israel on Yom Kippur when Jews were praying and fasting for 25 hours straight. Big difference...and apparently, the only way Arabs thought they'd win a war, which even proved wrong. Atleast Israel attacked Hamas installations, ignoring the entire civilian community, so their Eid should be unaffected.
16. #6 - Hahaha, still peddling that old lie
William ,   Israel   (09.10.10)
Lorien - you're 2 decades too late! One of the henchmen from Al-Husseini's team was interviewed on the BBC in the early 1990s and he admitted fully that Deir Yassin was a total hoax designed to draw Arab nations into the fighting to wipe out the Jews....but it back-fired and caused the majority of Arabs to run like hell without ever seeing an IDF soldier. He called it their "biggest mistake of the war". If you don't believe me, and have some time on your hands, go visit Bir Zeit University in Ramallah. They have archived the testimonies of tens of Deir Yassin residents who swore the Arab accounts were untrue and the IDF did not commit any crimes. They also supported the claim that the IDF gave warning via loud speakers and that Deir Yassin was filled with foreign Arabs using it as a base to attack Jews.
17. #14 - 1967 war was defensive
William ,   Israel   (09.10.10)
Nice try, but all historians and analysts concluded that Israel's actions were defensive, not offensive, based on the months of diplomacy Israel performed while Syrians and Egyptians amassed heavy weapons and soldiers on the border breaking UN agreements, sending UN peace keepers away, and several years of war crimes by attacking Israeli civilians. In 1973, your brave men had to wait until the Jews were tired, thirsty, hungry, and either sleeping or praying. I guess that's what you call "leveling the playing field" and the Arabs lost still. I believe Israel got rewarded with more land, right? It is amusing that Egyptians still celebrate this as a victory and you applaud an operational error by Israel despite the entire armies of 2 Arab nations being beat to hell and almostslaughtered.
18. #11- you forgot 1920, 1956, 1963-1967, 2000-2005...
William ,   Israel   (09.10.10)
Hell, why not just list 1919-present day, that is really the most accurate when describing Arab terror and racism.
19. #12 - very nice. I didn't know about this source
William ,   Israel   (09.10.10)
I found it more amusing to hear one of Al-Husseini's henchmen admit it on the BBC that it was a total fabrication. Though I was disappointed that they left out the immediate result of this lie - an attack on a Red Cross convoy hear Hadassah hospital that left tens of doctors, patients, and nurses dead. No soldiers were among them.
20. Wiliam #15,17 in 73 war (Tenth of Ramadan)
observer   (09.10.10)
Egyptians had already fasted 120+ hours while Israelis less than 18 hours, if any.
21. #16 Arabs were so cute that they deceived Einstein
observer   (09.10.10)
What did Einstein (winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics) do? He condemned the Hagannah's attack on Deir Yassin. He dropped down the offered Job of the First President of Israel. Even, they deceived him so that he said: the Bible is childish. Even, the completed field equations of the general theory of relativity were first deduced by David Hilbert, a fact Einstein was forced to acknowledge in 1916, after he had plagiarized them from Hilbert in late 1915. Hilbert was Arab, as defined by Bir Zeit University, hahaha.
22. #20...observer...120 hrs vs 18 hrs???

In late May 1967, Nasser closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping. Under all recognized international law, that constitutes casus belli, or an act of war. After diplomatic efforts failed to resolve the issue, Israel retaliated on June 5, 1967. Egypt is credited with having started the war. So your premise, being inaccurate, renders the rest of your post irrelevant. I do remind you, however, that Israel stood poised to march on Cairo in 1973 ..... so we kicked your sorry asses to the curb, did we not? Oh, we did. And we will do it again if you do not start behaving.
24. #23 it depends on which party used the casus belli
observer   (09.11.10)
Egypt, which had a mutual defense pact with Syria, asked the United Nations to remove the Emergency Force from the border with Israel. U Thant, the Secretary General, had to comply with the request because the force was stationed on Egyptian sovereign territory. But he also decided, on his own hook, to remove the Emergency Force from Sharm-el-Sheikh, which the Egyptians did not request. Once the fig leaf of the United Nations Emergency Force was removed from Sharm-el-Sheikh, Nasser had to close the Strait of Tiran to Israeli shipping for domestic political reasons. Imagine what would happen today if an Iranian vessel sailed down the Saint Lawrence seaway into the Great Lakes and the United States government did nothing to stop and search it. In 67 Israel standing on the east bank of the Seuz canal, started bombardment with heavy artillery the Civilian infrastructures in the three Seuz Canal cities. Egypt was forced to displace nearly 1.5 million population from those cities, but Israel continued for the next 6 years it air strickes deep in the home front destroying schools (e,g. Bahr El-Baqar Elementery School, Serso Cultural Center in central Nile Delta) and factories. The strikes aimed mainly to intimidate civilians by killing great number, I personally witnessed an air strike on civilian construction laborers. In route to Cairo? actually as besieged helpless hostages because they disengaged in the first chance of face saving procedure afforded through US diplomacy. The Israelis retreat deep into Sinai long before the 1979 peace treaty initiated by Sadat, why? because they are peace lovers who gave up their biblical claims for Sinai?
