31. Does anyone really..
RJK ,   Canada   (04.08.11)
believe the occupants of Gaza r wanting anything but the demise of Israel & anything Israeli(including children)? What more confirmation is req'd? How many deaths of Israelies is req'd to prove the point? How long does it take to gain worthy leaders(where r u Golda?) to address these animals in Gaza. How many more will it take being killed(as they go to school, work, hospitals)before the leaders get real & finish what should have been done long ago. There is nothing relative to wanting peace in Gaza. They do not believe such would be in there best interests. Don't Israelis understand this? What more proof do you require? Another hit on another school bus, this time with more injuries & death? Get real. Hit them collectively...which is what they are doing to you(mainly your children on buses). Then you may get the respite you seek. PS: you are not dealing with caring people here, you're dealing with animals. They care not a wit for the life of anyone, even there own. Their belief system states they will go to a paradise after they succeed in killing the infidel. The more the merrier. How can you deal with individuals such as this. You CANNOT!
32. #21 David
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
Its rather difficult to determine when the tunnels are occupied, there are so many of them The IAF attacks those that have a possiblity of having inside activity Or, would you rather that the IAF Carpet Bomb Gaza, as the Allies did to Berlin & Dresden in WW2, Blowing the whole mess to kingdom come?
33. No 29 - Your argument is illogical
railsailus@aol.com ,   Fernandina Beach, US   (04.08.11)
Your criticism of Sarah B. is, to use your own word, nonsensical "bullshit." And then you add: "Nobody in the world...today wins by violence." Your so-called path to peace is filled with Jew haters who want Israel to disappear, not peace. Get real child; get some knowledge and then get some sense.
34. "fearing IDF retaliation". Duh!
EZ ,   USA   (04.08.11)
What did these war mongers expect, for us to hand out candy. Destroy Hamas NOW!!!
35. barak is improving
marcel   (04.08.11)
after 20 years of wasting time in politics and oslo, barak got rid of labour and is with, the good general vilani in bibi's government. As we all know,barak has a lot of commando and systems training. He must stop with his tsunami politics and ensure israel has the keys to its own security,not sharing it with the corrupt palestinians. Though I would hit 5-10 times harder for the recent cowardly russian antitank missiile on the bus, barak did respond and is pickiing hamas off one by one. Just keep going. And don't worry or succumb to obama who has now screwed himself in libya because he cannot force kaddafi out and the rebels are a collection of guess who. barak, just keep going, turn it up a notch and make sure that you have plans for a vicious decapitation of hamas.
36. #29 you cant use civilized means against uncivilized people
Amy ,   Chicago IL   (04.08.11)
they see any gesture of good will as a sign of weakness and expoit it.
37. Anyone notice a pattern here?
Jewish Warrior   (04.08.11)
Shoot, beg for truce, and shoot again.
38. to 29: of course, path of peace...
smith   (04.08.11)
".It is for Israel`s interest that we should choose the path of peace." is it too an interest for Arabs?
39. Ypip - you are so pathetic - GET A LIFE!!
What a jerk!   (04.08.11)
I would like to see your face in a situation where your town is being bombed. You'll probably be the first who piss in his pants and bag it stop... Yet, you choose to be a "remote control hero" by leaving these no so intellectual comments on Ynet... Man - you need help! A lot of it!!!!
40. Salem for once is speechless? Truth hurts?
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.11)
41. Arabs: "It all started when he hit me back."
Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.08.11)
42. You want truce?
Chaim ,   Arad   (04.08.11)
After 45 rockets fired into Israel, I think a nice two days of carpet bombing would get your attention.
43. Hamas and ceasefire: Actual statistics
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (04.08.11)
During the six-month truce agreed upon by Israel and the agents of leadership in Gaza ending in December 2008, 361 rockets and 303 mortar shells were launched into Israeli territory against civilian targets (Shin Bet).
44. No Such Thing As Innocent Civilians....
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (04.08.11)
or innocent children. Every Jew is the enemy. Every Jew is a legitimate target. No one is innocent. The thinking that some people are "innocent" presupposes that there are other people who are "guilty" and are, therefore, "legitimate" targets. What makes one guilty? In the Arabs' eyes - being born a Jew.
45. #29 Rayan
ME ,   USA   (04.08.11)
You and me. You do your best to be my friend, and make me happy, and I'll punch you in the face over and over. It can be an experiment, perhaps we can see how long we can keep it going. Your objective in this experiment is to make me your friend. Don't give up....I'll do my part gladly and punch you in the face over and over in the name of friendship and peace. Get it? It take TWO with the SAME objective. Israel "IS", the arab 'Pali's' "WANT"...big difference. The 'palis' are all about plotting Attacks (weather physical/political), Isreal is about defence plotting a reaction strategy to the poor agressive 'palis' of peace......Wake up world....you will.
46. Shoot then declare ceasefire
superhero ,   Johannesburg RSA   (04.08.11)
Prior to the Goldstone confession - this would be bought by the UN - hook line and sinker - as Hamas attempt to make peace - and as clear evidence of Israeli aggression, massacre and war-crimes.
47. Just like Pharaoh did . . .
Ann ,   Jerusalem   (04.08.11)
48. Rayan, stop harassing Sarah B. no justice peace is cheap
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (04.08.11)
we enjoy Sarah B's postings, admire her guts, her wisdom, her passion. if you and many that should stop this fake peace nonsense propaganda! Peace should be serve with justice and righteousness, Peace should not be achieved at all cost, Truth and Justice and Goodness is above peace, esp cheap peace that can't even last one generation. in arab world, cheap peace only last one generation, then you will have corruption, and dictatorship. Then radical terrorists will take advantage and sway the people into overthrow their leaders, then end all peace. your so-call path of peace will never be realised by Peace-talk, Peace-talk are simply cutting land into pieces to exchange for illusive temporal peace. Real peace-loving partner will never use blowing people up into PIECES to exchange for Peace. before Peace come, more Jews/Americans will be blew to PIECES. Violence is in arabs' DNA!
49. not high time for another adventure
observer ,   Egypt   (04.08.11)
Israel has yet to get rid of the FIRST Goldstone's and Egypt is unpredictable.
50. To # 29 Rayan US
David ,   On this planet   (04.08.11)
Why are you blasting Sarah who lives in the USA . You yourself live in the USA It says after your name. Get your act together and quit lying
51. The cowardly bus attack
Steve Goodman ,   Israel   (04.08.11)
we will not have peace until the Arabs love their children as much as we love ours.....I doubt if this will ever happen
52. We are all settlers!
Tamir ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.11)
All of us in Israel must understand that whether you are a 'settler' family in Samaria or a kibbutznik inside the magical 'Green Line,' to the Arabs, you are a Jew living on occupied Muslim land, and that makes you a target for their blood lust. We must all put aside our differences and stand together, since we are all settlers of this good land of our mothers and fathers, and they need to understand that many, many others have tried to take our lives and our land, and they have all failed because G-d has watched and will continue to watch over us, as was His promise.
53. The ONLY language they understand
Shalom ,   Ashdod, Israel   (04.08.11)
It is too late for cease fire!! IDF should bomb the bastards in Gaza and convert the whole strip into one massive parking lot. Maybe then we can have some rest. Their cease fire means that the only language they understand is when they are hit very hard
54. truce? it's re-arm, replenish rockets showtime for UN
mary of Bethany ,   singapore   (04.08.11)
simply showtime in Pali-Wood style for very willing audiences at UN (United Nut-house) and EU (Embarrassing Union). i say, cease fire not enough, Surrender ALL your arms!
55. WHAT THE HELL!?!?! NO CAST LEAD II?!??!??!
Ester   (04.08.11)
what???? why not???? :O we need to defend our citiziens people!!!! barak wake upppp
56. Hamas is so "Gaddafi",it's an arab thing to bully then truce
mary for JEWS ,   singapore   (04.08.11)
why Hamas don't write a similar letter to Bibi what Gaddafi wrote: "To our son, his excellency, Mr Barack Hussein Obama. I have said to you before, that even if Libya and the United States of America enter into a war, god forbid, you will always remain a son. Your picture will not be changed." at least now we know Obama real name is "Barrack Hussein Obama Gaddafi". mmmm.... no love letter not sincere, not truce then! FIRE!
57. Turn Gaza into a plesure resort hotels
dyslexic ,   Israel.........   (04.08.11)
and a few casinos.We send them too EGYPT too live,and that solves half the problem.The other half will be with Egypt in the future.
58. They want a ceasefire because....
(04.08.11)
They want to dictact the flow of battle. They fire rockets when they want and end the fighting when they want. The addition of Iron Dome this week means that their capabilities are slightly diminished. They can fire rockets, but out of the ones which come towards towns some will be intercepted. Even though only a minority of rockets can be intercepted, this is still a groundbreaking achievement and will set the stage for further improvements. It has also irrevocably changed the balance of power (to a degree) in Southern Israel.
59. Preliminaries
Harvey ,   London   (04.08.11)
Israel Un representative to declare decision to respond appropriately in the absence of a total cessation of terrorist activity by the terrorist entity in gaza Let the useless and supine world body chase it's own tail in an endless round of committee meetings and hand wringing When the rockets continue to hit israel , no one can then claim to be surprised when israel responds with cast lead 2
60. arab requests for ceasefire are untrustworthy and
ralph   (04.08.11)
by their own rules only applied for when you are weak and broken when you have regained your strength therefore we listen to such garabage at our own peril.
