Israel should attack Hamas, Hezbollah, and the "activists", anytime, and anywhere, without warning, for the hell of it. You know, just to say "Hi". This way, Israel will run out of Arab terrorists, much faster.

It seems that Hamas is just itching for a repetition of Cast Lead This time they shouldn't complain, they'll get what they're asking for and a bit more for good measure

Hamas is getting antsy, it needs to show it's still a force to be reckoned with - and what better way than to kill a few more Jews, maybe capture a soldier or civilian or two? A student of game theory like Prof. Aumann would argue that "tit for tat" is the optimal strategy for a sequence of matches. So if the IDF "does not intend to show restraint", perhaps they're finally understanding.

Would´nt it be an idea to let Egypt take over Gaza and clean it of all the terror groups?

Israelis, you do realize that you will be forced by these fanatical barbarians to roll into Gaza with tanks & infantry, and that only a street-by-street hunt and scrub of these organizations will put an end to this weekly nonsense?

to #3 BORED pals You did not put enough emphasis on the word"bored " in your talkback. I dont think that pscychologists have done any studies on the phenomen of boredom in the muslim mentality, after all what would anyone do if you were so restricted in the essential "thrill " , "romance" ,"drama" &"novelty" etc of life. ------the only exitement left is to kill..

Do Obama's advisors have any idea about the reality on the ground? Doesn't seem like it. There is no way Hamas will ever agree to a peace treaty with Israel. There is also no way that Fatah will ever sign a peace treaty that does not include Gaza. So, why such noise about Israel screwing up the peace process by building some houses? The Palestinians consistently and continuously show that they are not ready for statehood, and that Hamas is continuously preparing for war, not peace. Somebody should drag some Obama advisors to the Gaza border so they can run for a bomb shelter and then tell us that peace is at hand.

Yeh, just like the USA walked into Afghanistan and found Bin Laden and every member of the Tablin. You go there. They hide their guns and go back to their day job (if the have one). They won't be walking around with bright coloured T-Shirts saying "I Belong To Hamas" ;-) Easy to suggest when you are in USA miles away from this and not one of the infantrymen who has to "roll" into Gaza. Get back to Fox New and your Playstation.

Mr. Ben-Yishai, We must know first what are "Israel's" borders before asking Palestinians to protect it........logical ,no?!!!!!!!

all this news stuff,we already know.The goverment and the news media have too get the news out too the world.This is our weakest point .We always get the blame ,our PRO sucks.

war is tough but when u have to fight you fight to win --

is the result of Hamas's coordinated effort to ease the pressure on Hezbollah in Hariri's murder trial.

Israeli message to Hamas Op-ed: Hamas initiated latest escalation in Gaza, prompting tougher IDF retaliation Comment - Time for messages is over, since a long time ago. Time for a Deadly Blow without warning has come. Orao.Srbia.

That implacable lot will not relent, and will keep upping the ante until you resolve to clean house.

Out of homage to the phony peace process, Israel treats constant P.A. terror atttacks with restraint. The legend is that Hamas are the bad terrorists while P.A. and Fatah are the good terrorists. It's complete hogwash. The P.A./Fatah have maimed and murdered far more Jews than Hamas and they continue to do so. Israel should show no restraint towards any terrorists. Be they Hamas, Fatah/P.A. or whatever.

We have been sending messages for decades and they don't work. Time to try something besides messages - parking lots anybody?
