31. Whine, Whine, Whine, Whine
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (11.19.10)
All we ever did was ethnically cleanse them out of the land of their birth, steal their land, blockade them, starve them, assasinate their leaders, use their children as human shields, bomb them on almost a daily basis for years, terrorize their civilian population and fire phosphorous shells into their highly populated neighborhoods. And they have the nerve to fire back a few phosphous shells into our uninhabited desert? How dare them! Whine, whine, whine, whine! Oh, and they must also be anti-Semites!
32. #24 Who the F R U?
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.19.10)
33. to #25 So what do you think we should do?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.19.10)
I prefer that we use a neutron or two on gaza and depopulate the strip. We cannot have this continue and our lack of a deadly response shows our enemies that we are weak. We should have hit iraq in 1991 after the first rocket fell on Israel and the hell with bush 41 and his coalition. When the first wave of terror started in the first intifada, there should have been hundreds of dead palis and villages completely razed to the ground. That is how the arabs respect someone. They do not respect you when you give them land, weapons and money and listen to them. You tell them what to do or else and use force to back up your words!
34. It's interesting that members of the Army
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (11.19.10)
of Islam must go into hiding within their own territory (Gaza). This indicates that they can be spotted and then targetted by the IDF. So who "spots" them? Their own population, of course. And why? Well, people get paid for the information and the "spotters' amongst them are undoubtedly against the current regime (Hamas) and collaborating with Israel is a means of sabotaging Hamas. Israel appears to be fairly unique in terms of targetted reprisal. Now why would that be? Well, even during Operation Cast Lead and since our affiliates in Gaza have been reporting on Hamas & Associated Terrorists, on ammunition dumps and on those who are involved in planing to wound the State of Israel. I think there must be plenty of "silent" opposition within the borders of Gaza.
35. vic 24
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.19.10)
No Vic, she's talking to you and it is obvious that you are listening. I would think that the person here who needs a shrink is the one that chooses to read things they don't like and then has the nerve to complain about it. Is somebody holding a gun to your head Vic and making you read Sarah's posts?
36. More flying rain gutters ,...
split ,   US   (11.19.10)
Every now and then Shin Bet comes up with a report and warning: "long-range missiles smuggled into Gaza" or , "Hamas operatives smuggled RPG, anti-tank, katyusha rockets" that follows by senseless and zero effective "rain gutter attack" that serves as an excuse for "retaliation" in form of targeted killings of their leaders or full scale "self defence" war act with illegal weapons and indiscriminate killing of civilians and an intentional destruction of "enemy" infrastructure like the one in Gaza in 2008 or the one in Lebanon in '06,... Where the hell are those weapons and why don't they (Palis) use it? ,..
37. 5 - like real men ,...
split ,   US   (11.19.10)
... yeah , just like those "brave ones" in F-15, Apache's or M1's with illegal amo provided by V-column of traitors in US Congress against home made slingshots - They're not as stupid as you trying to portrait them ,...
38. next eill be depleted uranium
zooz ,   gaza   (11.19.10)
and after the gaza nuclear reactor is ready they will send you an atomic bomb or maybe hydrogen one !!!! phosphoric bombs ??? in gaza ??? you got used to lying that you forgot to notice a big one like this . i bet if gaza leaders even knows what is phosphore ? i guess they only heared it on the news and felt it when you bombed gaza with pohosphoric weapones
39. To: Emanon at No. 30
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.19.10)
Yes, I know. But it is similar to what is done in law -- if you win a judgment, you enter it. You may have absolutely no expectation of collecting on your judgment, but you enter it anyway, just for the record and in the event that some day, things may change and you may be able to recoup. Whether the motion is vetoed or not -- and, of course, the United Nations being what it is, a veto is assured. But the motion remains in the record as having been brought. That's why I would do it. Maybe someday the United Nations will return to being a legitimate organization. Ah, hope does spring eternal, doesn't it!
40. To: No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.19.10)
They weren't born in a land, they were your quintessential nomads, and only showed an interest in Ottoman and Mandatory Palestine when the Jews who arrived in the First and Second Aliyot started to turn it into something other than a barren, dismal, swamp-ridden (north) and desert (south) wasteland. The Arabs are native to the Hejaz in the Western Arabian desert. Not Israel. Uninhabited? Not hardly. Just ask the inhabitants of Sderot and environs, who bed their children down in bomb shelters and who have to deal with post-traumatic stress in everyone, heart attacks and hypertension in the adults, and severe trauma in children. I remind you that it was Hamas in Gaza that fired missile barrages into civilian areas of Israel on a daily basis for eight long years. And, of course, there were the suicide bombers. So you do not know what the hell you are talking about. Where's your spiel about phosphorus shells being banned? Where's your plaintive bleat that firing them is a war crime? You've never been within 1,000 miles of Gaza or Israel! So whatever you have to say is plain worthless. You're nothing but a fraud.
41. to mr Goldstone and to the Unitsd Nation ...
Texan   (11.19.10)
Israel need to complain to U.N about the Phosphorous feired from Gaza to Israel .. WHERE IS GOLDSTONE ?????? Need to make trial ????
42. Where is the evidence of phosphorous?
Leon ,   Ottawa   (11.20.10)
Where are the pictures? When Israel fired white phosphorous shells into Gaza it was obvious to see. So where is the burning smoke? All I have seen is a hole in the ground. This is bad Israeli hasbara.
43. "today its Army of Islam, tomorrow it will be us"
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
Call yourselves whatever names you like, you're all from the same organization, and you're all terrorists. Fair game in the war YOU declared on us in 2007. We know Hamas is involved despite PRC's admission of responsibility because no one other than Hamas holds Grad rockets in their arsenal nor does any other group have access to such weapons or the methods to sneak them in.
44. Wow, they blamed "Israel" instead of the "Zionist entity"
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
Looks like some positive movement on the peace front, in a convoluted Middle Eastern sort of way.
45. #9 - don't really have a comment, do you?
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
I notice when you get tired at the keyboard or have a brain fart, you basically post gibberish. I've heard more sensical ramblings from a beat-up retired boxer. Two things to help you understand: 1) 7 mortars cited are those either witnessed and/or found evidence of, 2) exaggerated stories from "Palestinians" are basically ritual now - a habit that has made it into the foundational psyche of these people - so they can claim 100 but it doesn't mean anything.
46. #23 - even NYC has a library
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
so I suggest you go read a history book about the region and especially try to find a State that was named "Palestine". That should keep you busy for a while so the adults can speak.
47. #31 - "cleanse them from land of their birth"
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
Whoa buddy, be sure to back up your claims before you make them. In the mid-1930s, the British recorded tens of thousands of illegal Arab economic migrants sneaking into the region and squatting on any open land, calling it their own. The population census recorded 20 different languages among the Arab population. So, either they were all rocket scientists (not likely) or the huge majority were immigrants and never born in the land they now claim as their "ancestral homeland". Not to mention the ethnic cleansing of Jews from Gaza, West Bank, Jerusalem in 1948. Jordan and Egypt have the right idea and never feel a threat from Israel now that they made peace, accepting Israel. "Palestinians" could have the same 6 times but gave it up. Oh, did I mention that Haniyeh of Hamas rejoiced when Israel pulled out of Gaza by announcing Gush Katif really was Jewish land and Hamas was so powerful that he made Jews leave it? Who to believe - a whiny bitch from Rochester, or Hamas? I yawn in your general direction.
48. #36 - thankfully, Hamas obliges
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
Despite the nasty claims of "long-range rockets" and "RPGs" smuggled into Gaza which of course are just Zionist fabrications....Hamas always obliges to prove the Shin Bet right by actually firing those weapons at Israeli civilians. "Indiscriminate killing of civilians" - hmm, not even Goldstone claimed that in his report, and your ilk worship it like its the new bible. In addition, numerous military analysts and experts, including Col. Kemp of NATO, analyzed Cast Lead and saw great pains made to avoid civilian deaths. Thankfully, Hamas also obliges by announcing that most of those killed in Cast Lead were indeed their fighters.
49. #37 - when did Arabs ever use slingshots in Gaza?
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
Is that the new euphemism for Grad rockets and RPGs?
50. #38 - your leaders already admitted to it
William ,   Israel   (11.20.10)
The first time such bombs were made public weeks ago, Hamas denied it, then claimed they made them out of Israeli ones, then finally admitted they had phosphorous bombs in their arsenal but justified targeting civilians. I am amazed at the short attention span of commentators on this conflict who miss even the words of their own leaders. But I forgive you Zooz - an Internet cafe isn't too safe in Gaza these days.
51. the worst lie!!!!
handala ,   jerusalem/palestine   (11.20.10)
phosphorus from gaza?!?! thats the worst lie israel have ever said compared to the other million+ lie, how can gazans obtain phosphorus and if they did how can they put it into shells?! are you kidding me arab armies doesnt have the technology to put phosphorus into rocket shells, if hamas is capable of making phosphorus shells it means hamas can build long range missiles ( scud would be the easiest!!) phosphorus shells needs high technology that is not available in gaza and never will be. gazans are searching for food not for phosphorus!! i am shocked of this pathetic lie, not even lieberman believes it im sure about that.
52. to sarah B
muhannad ,   jerusalem/palestine   (11.20.10)
ive been reading your comments for a while now and ive noticed that you are full of hatred toward palestinians and arabs, you even think that palestinians are not humans, if you are so modernized as you clam ( israel and israelis) why cant you treat fellow human beings the same that you want to be treated, if you treat palestinians the way you want to be treated there would be any problems in the middle east and in the whole world. The power is in your hand ( israel) so only you can make a change not the palestinians, the palestinians cannot make any change because they dont have any power, you must understand that by now, only the strong can make things better, the USA invaded Afghanistan to free the people from the islamic extremists ( even though in a bad inhuman way) but at the end some of the goals have been accomplished, the USA is the weak side or the strong side? the problem of the middle east is that israel occupied the land of palestine, and palestinians have chosen to live in peace with israel but in their own state on 1967 borders which is less than 22% of palestine ( their land) and still you and your government claim that palestinians are against peace. even if your story of the jewish kingdom in palestine is right, this was before 3 or 4 thousand years, and palestine has been palestinian and arab for the past 2000 years, and still its not palestinian oh come on, if god gave you this land he shouldve led the palestinians out of it not led them to it!!! islamic, christian and jewish god is the same, peace and freedom have never been made by tanks and missiles. peace salam shalom
53. 28 - Forgot your pill again ? ,...

54. muhannad # 52
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (11.20.10)
The god of Islam is not the same as the God of Israel and Christians. If they were the same they would both say and teach the same things. People keep saying that if only Israel would do this or do that they would have peace with the palestinans. This is not true for several reasons. Palestinians groups have written into their charters that their goal is the complete destruction of Israel. You claim that the palestinians have chosen to live in peace with Israel in their own state on 1967 borders. They have been offered their own state severa times and refused. They want all of Israel and every Jew dead or pushed into the sea. You say that peace and freedom have never been made by tanks and missiles. Well, they do help to keep the peace. The God of Israel and the force of arms is what has kept Israel alive and will continue to keep her alive. Without arms they would end up like the Jews of Europe during world war 2 or the poor people of Darfur who are being slaughtered by muslims because they have no defense.
55. UN will write a report about this real soon....
Danny   (11.20.10)
56. #23, yep that worked in Gaza and Lebanon
Danny   (11.20.10)
57. #33; jason, I've struggled with this for years
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (11.20.10)
My belief is when the Arab get a new country Israel will be in a better position to respond. The Arabs know they can murder Jewish people a few or a few dozen at a time and that Israeli response's will be characterized as "disproportional" and they win that argument in the media. But once they have a country with clear defined borders, attacks upon Israel become acts of war by one state against another. Then with video camera's posted on all the borders Israel can prove the infiltrations and attack in the more brutal way you recommend. A little reported story was after the 2006 Lebanon war started by Hezbollah, The Lebanese army surrounded one of their Palestinian refugee camps...one that gave them much trouble...gave the population about 48 hours to leave they checked all those as they left. After that period was up the Lebanese army went into the camp and killed every terrorist that remained in a house to house search. They eliminated close to 400 Palestinian terrorists in that operation and destroyed much of the camp. You need a country to fight, that's what I'm saying. But right now just keep documenting the attacks, get lots of video and do what you have to.
58. aza and the man(Doug) who loves it.
