Salma ,   Palestine   (02.27.11)
Simply because the so-called rockets from Gaza do not kill a single person, enjoy the wildflower festival ; )
2. Gaza rockets are legitimate
observer   (02.27.11)
putting Gaza under siege and hindering the efforts of preventing genocide & delivery of humanitarian aid IS against the "jus cogens" status which supersedes the international law. Sick of hearing if Mexico launched rockets into Texas analogy. No comparison. The US has not blocked food and medical supplies along the border for years. After the Isdraeli Cast Lead, the thousands rockets story does not hold convincing for the Americans Hamas has also made significant gains in manufacturing its own rockets. It has learned to create Ammonium Perchlorate Compound, an advanced rocket propellant that in addition to extending the Qassam's range beyond 20 kilometers also - and more importantly - increases the rocket's shelf life. That means the organization can, for the first time, maintain a supply of rockets for months at a time. Analysts believe Hamas has over 1,000 rockets.
3. What are you...
aline silverman ,   israel   (02.27.11)
talking about????there is NO REAL BLOCKADE in Gaza....Some people eat very well indeed....Those who do not are the poor who are exploited by their own people....In any case, Israel has left the area,,,,They are INDEPENDENT as they always wanted it (?)...They can't have it both ways...N 2 : WHAT DO YOU MEAN???? By writing that the Hamas owns so many rockets you reinforce my side in wanting to protect myself !!!!! SElma...The rochets CAN KILL....only that we are better organized and mos homes have a SHELTER !!!!!

Marcelo ,   Berlin   (02.27.11)
Hamas started launching qassams back in 2001, when Israel hadn't pulled out of gaza, They were falling up to 2010 and are still falling. They do not kill so much israelis (as you wish) because Israel implemented the red-alarm sirens to protect their citizens. Egypt has a boarder. Medical aid enters every day and gaza has mall-centers. No starving at all. They enjoy a much more standard of lie that those in Argentina. Jew-haters like you can justify the unthinkable. You are all sick people, if people is the right adjective for you...

Standing Tall ,   USA   (02.27.11)
Firing rockets into civilian areas is an act of war and is against the Geneva Convention. Since you are justifying your antisemitism with the statement that firing the rockets is legitimate then I can only tell you so is bombing the Gaza Strip. The "siege" started when Hamas starting firing those same rockets into Israel. Israel has the right to self defense and this is the result of Arab hatred. As for the thousands of rockets not holding "convincing' for the Americans, don't speak for me. Israel has to defend itself against this type of terror and will do so. Have a nice day
6. 1 and 2
eyal ,   usa   (02.27.11)
You both live in lala land. If rockets didn't fall into israel and hamas didn't hold a soldier hostage and if hAmas ddnt want to destroy israel in their charter, perhaps there would be calm u dummies. If mexico attacks the us, mexico wouldn't exist. I didn't know they still make dumb ppl like u both?
7. #1 Salma - Since you said it
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.27.11)
I decided to check it out Plain and simple, YOU LIED AGAIN !! Palestinian rocket and mortar attacks on Israel from the Gaza Strip have occurred since 2001. Between 2001 and January 2009, over 8,600 rockets had been launched, leading to 28 deaths and several hundred injuries,[1][2] as well as widespread psychological trauma and disruption of daily life" Salma, you have my personal invitation to stand in the line of fire when one of those rockets head for Israel, you will have a prime location at Ground Zero
8. some people just dont understand.
muhammed ,   jenin   (02.27.11)
'so called rockets'??? so theyre firing doll rockets at israel now, huh... are you even listening to yourself?! observer, please. have you been to gaza? they have plenty food and medical supplies. israel does not block ANYTHING from getting in there. it goes so far as to the fact that they know where there are tunnels being dug from gaza into israeli territories with the purpose of carrying out terrorist attacks against people living peacefully in southern israel. or what you would probably call "peacefull protest", and they have not done a thing until now to destroy them, because they do not want to destroy life. even though it represents great danger to their people. open your eyes! gaza is NOT under siege! according to the q'uran, the jews will have the land for 70 years, after which there will be a great war. peace is not an option. one side will annihilate the other, and thats how it will end. take a look at who struck first. for a good few weeks, there was relative calm, during which everyone was able to breath freely once again. then some jihadists get bored in their tunnels and decide to launch rockets. thank allah they suck at what they do, and because of that fact they hit open ground and nothing else. and the israelis fly in and bomb empty buildings, or the terrorists who just fired the rockets. if the terrorists happened to get a lucky hit, im sure you wouldnt say a thing and your heart would sing, because at the end of the day, you have something personal against israel and the jews, who if you take a good hard look at history, are probably the most humane nation ever to grace this planet. so please, take your racist hate, and shove it. we are trying to live peacefully, but when people like you support these childish actions, it ruins everyones lives, except for yours.
9. Salma (Qassam Attracts Visitors)
JUDAH THE LION   (02.27.11)
I have never heared that rockets dont kill people.The reason that the rockets dont hit the right place.Should the rocket hit the right place lot of people will be killed.If Qassam rockets attracts visitors, then wait until Israel hit you back with iron fist.
10. Qassam hits Israeli territory
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (02.27.11)
What is going on? Where is the EUROPEANS,UNITED NAZIS,USA, HUMAN RIGHT, ISRAELI LEFTIST,EUROPEAN LEFTIST,& OTHERS.Israel should send CLEAR & STRONG MESSAGE TO THE WHOLE WORLD & HAMAS,IF they don not stop theior aggreation, Israel will attack Gaza and will not accept ceasefire till they finish the job,or to occupy Gaza. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
11. #2 NON-OBSERVER
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.27.11)
The facts are, that you NON-OBSERVED all of this When was the last time you were to Gaza or any place at all in the Middle East for that matter ? Then explain why rockets were fired before the siege, you ninny ? Yes, we know, you copied and pasted some text, never ever exerting any effort on your own part, which is quite evident, since you don't have either the courage or intelligence to get personally involved, preferring to remain elsewhere, hiding behind the sanctuary of your computer keyboard How about discussing something you’ve actually seen or participated in ? Speaking of analyst's, find one that can help you, you're in desperate need,making up stories of events you've never seen or about places you've never been too
12. #4,5,6 you haven't addressed the current siege
observer ,   Egypt   (02.27.11)
evading the question doesn't answer it. Germans said: die Juden sind unsere Unglück (Jews are our bad luck)
13. NON--OBSERVER - EASY QUESTIONS
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.27.11)
Just what have you actually seen and when did you see it ? When, if ever, were you here ? No response will indicate that you've seen and witnessed nothing, and that you're merely talking through your anti-Semitic hat I, for one would like to see your answer, though I doubt that I ever will Any moron can copy & paste, you’re the proof
14. I extend herewith my Personal Invitaton
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.27.11)
to both Salma & Non-Observer to stand in the path of an incoming rocket It's called "Putting your tuchas, where your hot air is coming from"
15. #8
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.27.11)
May be "rockets", but very primitive, it can not be compared with "Israeli" rockets that hit Jenin refugee camp, muhammed from jenin do you remember ? or maybe at the time you were happy in Afula?!!
16. #14 BEN JABO ,
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.27.11)
Many people in Gaza are ready to exchange their places with the settlers in Sderot, BEN JABO do me a favour and ask your friends if they would accept the deal : )
17. Yo jabo ,...

Keep your bike helmet on and you safe ;) ,...
18. salma.
muhammed ,   jenin   (02.27.11)
dont pretend to know what your talking about when you obviously dont. you sound like a child whos been brainwashed. rockets arent what kill. its the people shooting the rocket. a primitive rocket can kill as many people as a modern rocket can. it depends whos shooting. when the terrorists shoot, they hope and pray it hits a school or base or hospital and causes the most damage. mostly because they do not get rebuked by the world, so its fine on their and your part. show me one time in history when israel fired random rockets into gaza or anywhere else and hoping for the best. they always have pinpoint precision to ensure that no innocent civilians get killed or injured. yes, sometimes there are casualties. like during the war in gaza when the terrorists are seen using women and children as shields. personally, i think that even someone like you is a threat to israels security, and you are not considered an innocent. as much as i would like a solution to all the aggression, israel has the right to defend herself against ALL enemies!
19. #4 well said

split ,   US   (02.28.11)
An another fallen gutter and a little hole in the soil just big enough to transplant a pot of begonias but an another excuse to drop few half-a-ton bombs on residential buildings where the "perpetrators" hide that only the Mossad knows where. ;) ,...
