1. Shooting rockets at innocent civilians!
Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (04.08.11)
Where is the Jew-traitor Goldstone? Where is Inhuman Rights Watch? Why are the Israeli Leftists like Gideon Levi so quiet? Is it because the Zionists deserve it?
2. YNET MAKES ERROR "RENEWED"??
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.08.11)
Why would you write "Gaza fire renewed", when it never stopped. Hamas fired Thursday and fired more rockets on Friday, so nothing is "renewed". It may seem trivial but your paper just endorsed the view, that there was a ceasefire?? There was not, you had some groups saying they wanted a ceasefire, but lied about it. It should read rocket fire "continues from Gaza" as groups don't honor their unilateral promise to stop firing. Or how about terror groups have lied about so called "ceasefire" as they continue to attack Israel with rocket fire. But please don't make it sound as if there ever was a ceasefire, there was NOT. They attacked yesterday, they attacked again today.

4. GAME ON!!
david(like the king) ,   uk/rsa   (04.08.11)
This time we take no prisoners
5. Lesson for Hamas
Selim Mizrahi ,   Turkey   (04.08.11)
What is wrong with you Israel? You need to send your F16s and raze Gaza strip central commands and infrastructure once for all. Enough is enough. Jewish people can not suffer under the threat of these cowards. Where is the spirit of 1967?
6. Cause and effect
Drazen ,   Croatia   (04.08.11)
Not just hitting, but TARGETING a school bus??? Wow, freedom fighters really outdid themselves this time... And that darn Zionists dare to shoot back??? Since from where I stand no resettlement to Madagascar is planned in foreseeable future, and you did brake the promise made in '48 to drown them all in Mediterranean see, just keep on firing and expect Cast Lead No2 w/gloves off .. And no, I'm not a Jew...
7. Salma you need to shut it!!!
Alex ,   Brooklyn   (04.08.11)
Why dont you tell your brothers to calm down before they start whining and running and limping in front of TV Cameras when Israel will retaliate!!!
8. where are the leftists now?
macarron ,   kurdistan   (04.08.11)
9. Incredible!
astounded ,   tel aviv   (04.08.11)
Israel is like a huge man battering a little man and all the while shouting 'stop hitting me!'. The IDF continues with the actual killing, while the Israelis suffer shock and broken chicken-houses. Is there no limit to Israeli narcissism and self-pity?
10. Salma should be happy that there are more martyrs
Joseph ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.08.11)
Salma, why are you a martyr too?
11. Israel file complaint with UN
sk ,   USA   (04.08.11)
Show every instigation by Arab terrorists (HAMAS, etc) and Israel's response. These have to be paired,, i.e. Arab Instigation and the Israeli response. These backward looking barbaric Arabs masquerading as so called "Palestinians" should be exposed for all the terrorism they ALWAYS start!
12. #3 and #9 what do you mean?
joe ,   st louis usa   (04.08.11)
#3 are you actually happy about shelling on Israel? I mean, believing Israel is an opressor and all but is one thing, that doesn't mean you have to be happy that towns are getting shelled. What purpose does it surve? #9: Does a schoolbus count as a "chicken coop?" I can tell you, if any country at all fired an anti-tank missile at any object in my country, you'd see a lot more than taking out a few terrorist headquarters and rocket launchers. That's why people generally don't do that to my country, they know better.
13. #9 astounded
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
Simple solution, don't hit, don't get battered, atah mayvin ? Just make sure the next time you board a bus that you check under the seat to make sure that one of your brothers didn't leave an unwelcome surprise that could spoil your day or end your life
14. Pesach is almot here
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
Time to clean all the Hama Chametz out of Gaza
15. CEASEFIRE CHEAP ATTEMPT
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.08.11)
To quote the last sentence in the article: "Thursday night saw Palestinian terror groups in the Gaza Strip declared a ceasefire, in an apparent attempt to prevent harsh IDF retaliation" Let's face it that's all it was, a CHEAP attempt at preventing IDF retaliation, nothing more. The terror groups want to be able to strike Israel civilians (a war crime, and crime against humanity), then avoid IDF defensive response with a FAKE "ceasefire", but Israel isn't buying it. It's no different than Hamas and the other groups using their people as "Human Shields", by launching attacks from residential neighborhoods. Hamas is always looking for a "Safe Zone" of attack. They seek a way to vilify Israel for any defensive response. Now this is second time in two weeks they've tried this same tactic. Attack Israel, then quickly (to avoid IDF defensive response) announce a unilateral ceasefire, is anybody buying into this Pallywood BS?
16. #9
Eli ,   Yerushalayim   (04.08.11)
Was your boy injured yesterday? Narcissim? The "huge man" has to hit once bac and strong should it be so that even the stupid "little man" will be able to understand. This would solve the problem.
17. #9 Thanks, astounded....
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (04.08.11)
for giving some much needed perspective. Unguided Qassam missile manages to hit a schoolbus. Yes, it is a crime and I hope the injured youngster will get well. In retaliation guided missiles hit outside Khan Younis and kill two women and an elderly man, all civilians, accompanied by the usual miserable excuse that Hamas is "choosing to operate amid civilian populations, using Gazans as human shields". It is a miserable excuse because the firing of Qassam missiles usually takes place from orchards or similar places, away from houses. It would be more appropriate to state: Israel chooses to fire shells at civilian areas showing callous indifference about the safety and wellbeing of Palestinian civilians. Let's face it: the philosophy behind this is that the Israeli army considers all Gazans "Khaled Mashaals". The reality is that as long as Israel maintains the siege of Gaza and continues to inflict suffering on the civilian population Hamas will not shut up or put up. If Israel would be in this situation it would do the same thing!!
18. #17- a guided anti-tank missile, not an unguided Qussam
Stephen in New York   (04.08.11)
A guided anti-tank missile, not an unguided Qussam was the weapon launched at the school bus -a bright yellow school bus. The shooter probably had to follow the missile to impact and provide final guidance check. In other words, premeditation: the shooter knew what he was shooting at. Why do you disassemble, doc?
19. #17 unguided quassam
dan ,   chicago usa   (04.08.11)
Actually it was a guided, highly sophisticated anti-tank missile, read the news. As a practice and policy Israel works very hard to AVOID civilians, check out April 1 in the Washington Post, Richard Goldstone (yea the Goldstone report guy) cited a mountain of evidence for that.
20. My source at wiki-leaks....
Marco ,   Spain   (04.08.11)
tells me that a Winograd investigation into the reasons that the Iron Dome failed to intercept the rocket salvo that hit Eshkol Regional Council is as follows: The Iron Dome and the crew manning it were the first to run for cover in a shelter nearbye..:))))
21. 17 Ben Alofs
dshap ,   Miami, USA   (04.08.11)
So in your mind, Ben, Israel is expected to just take the attacks on it's civilian population and not respond? You claim the missile that hit the school bus was "unguided". That flies in the face of all reports indicating it was in fact a more sophisticated and targeted shelling of a civilian school bus, which was full of children only moments earlier. Your post is transparently biased against Israel. Let me be clear on my position... Israel should, without reservation bomb every suspected weapons cache. Track, target and kill every last leader of Hammas and it's splinter groups. If they hide among the Arab civilians they will cause and be responsible for civilian deaths... so be it. The only siege on Gaza is from Hamas. There is not now, and has not been for some time, a Jew present anywhere in Gaza.
22. ASTOUNDED & BEN ALOFS
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.08.11)
Help with the tunnel digging, and then we'll see how sincere you really are Astounded: It's called "Putting your tachat where you peh is" Alofs: The truth is that Israel left Gaza over 5 years ago, after the departure Rocket fire from Gaza intensified.. Next time before telling the “Truth” find out what the word means
23. innocent Gazan civilians killed in IDF strikes
Ally   (04.08.11)
Maybe worth adding that dozens of innocent Gazan civilians have been injured, and children killed, by IDF strikes.
24. #9 ass-tounded
rob ,   orangevale USA   (04.08.11)
Why don't you slip a half quid between your gapped teeth and just shut up. You cowardly Limeys are getting waxed everywhere your sent. You are now the champions of." nope, its too dangerous out there, Im staying right here and letting THEM do the work.", The UK is now a laughingstock, and your country's cowardliness are one of the reasons for it. Big man will KILL if you shoot at his children. Little Man will DIE for shooting at his children. Too much for your small addled mind ass-tounded. The UK, what a joke.
25. To the Israeli Left
L-98 ,   JLM IL   (04.08.11)
Israeli left is destroying the country, I simply hate it ! stupid, ignorant, people - Go to hell ! Because of you we are eating shit in Israel, because of you Gilad Shalit is still in hamas hands ! Because of you hamas is still existing, because of you hamas leaders are still alive, because of you Jewish innocent creatures die every day ! Because of you the enemy gets strong day by day !You are less then nothing ! I want you to disappear forever !!! Israel needs to be strong, and ACT, responding the enemy, there is nothing else to do !
26. #23 they knew the job was dangerous when they took it
rob ,   orangevale USA   (04.08.11)
so the answer to your stupid question is a resounding NO. Don't want to get killed?, don't try to kill other peoples children. Are you really that stupid? I'm here all day answering the easy ones folks.....took the day off since there seems to be an overflow of idiots that still cant figure Israel out.. Simple dummies, leave Israel alone and live, or......
27. To Astounded and Ben Alofs re: civilian casualties
John ,   Alaska   (04.08.11)
You are both right about one fact: there have been civilian casualties on both sides. In this regard, the difference between Israel and Hamas is that Hamas deliberately tries to kill civilians, while Israel fires back at the terrorists and sometimes hits the civilians Hamas cowers behind. Though, of course, with a much smaller rate of collateral damage than any other contemporary military has ever inflicted. Oh - there is one other difference: Hamas keeps making unprovoked attacks on unarmed civilians, attacking children simply because they are Jews, while Israel is returning fire. If Hamas were to stop trying to kill Jews, Israel would stop fighting back. Do either of you have a response, or are you too busy cowering like your heroes in Hamas?
28. # 9 & 17. Spare us the crocodile tears (2nd try !)
flyingdoc57   (04.08.11)
63 years of constant terror from your ilk, and the only thing that's important to you is big vs. small, or unguided missiles vs. guided missiles. So, just for the record, you P.O.S.'s couldn't give a rat's a_s about human life. Your only concern is that the nasty "JEWS" have the military upper hand, and the "PEACEFUL, LOVEABLE, TOLERANT, PALESTINIAN" angels lack the military equipment necessary to make it a 'fair fight'. Your kind lives (and dies) by the creed "We love death more than you love life". Your kind is obsessed with death, and the many forms by which to achieve that lofty perch (beheading, stoning, drawn/quartering, throwing off roofs, etc.). Your kind is obsessed with death, and its glorification (i.e. martyrdon, virgin reward, etc.). Your kind cares not WHO is killed; only that killing and maiming occur as much and wherever possible. You savages don't fool anyone with your crocodile tears for dead "Palestinians". To you 12th century barbarians, the only purposes in life are to kill, be killed and wreak havoc on whatever society you happen to be polluting at any given point in time. So, please, don't give us any more of your horsesh_t about the poor, poor, oppressed "Palestinians" and dead "Palestinian" children. You vermin wouldn't have it any other way, and you know it.
29. Flyingdoc57
astounded ,   tel aviv   (04.08.11)
You're right, flyingdoc57, we should probably just do this the traditional Jewish way: slaughter them all, every man, woman and child. Let's leave nothing that breathes alive in Gaza. Would that be enough for you? Who would you turn to next? We must feed your bloodthirsty Moloch, after all. Come on, guys!
30. to #29 still waiting
John ,   Alaska   (04.08.11)
Astounded, I note that you replied to a post after mine, but still have not responded to mine. There are many more news stories I'm following, as Hamas has made this a high-traffic day for news. Nevertheless, I will follow this thread to give you the courtesy of reading your reply. So - Hamas targets kids, while IDF targets terrorists. and sometimes hits civilians the terrorists cower behind. Hamas makes unprovoked unjustified attacks on civilians, while the IDF will stop shooting back when Hamas stops trying to murder Jews. (as a further issue of lesser importance as Hamas has used this same taqqiya in the past, Hamas shoots all they can then calls a cease-fire in hope that the IDF will be foolish enough to believe their lie and not shoot back, then Hamas tries again to murder Jews when it's convenient, showing that they have no respect for the term "cease-fire" just like they have no respect for human life) Your response?
