Because politicians refuse to take their heads out of the clouds. Take away their mushrooms and make them listen to PA radio in Arabic.

as islamic extremism is gaining acceptance throughout the region and the rafah border is woefully insecure it is incumbent on the idf to be proactive swift decisive measures are the only alternative to preserve the state and provide security for the jewish people

Israeli politicians DO LISTEN TO PA radio … they know what the Arabs are thinking/advocating to their own people. Hello? Arab/Muslims must realize 'resistance' is NOT the answer … Compromise and Concessions on BOTH SIDES will lead to Peace. All polls taken in Israel says Israelis are overwhelmingly ready, willing and able to make Peace.

The only thing that remains today is the ruins of the Dolphinarium and a (mostly) unoccupied strip mall. A tiny easily-missed memorial honours the victims. Better respect should be paid to this tragedy with a cleanup of that cat infested area.

Thank g-d they don't want to make peace, atherwise we would have long ago given everything & received NOTHING in return, other then more jewish blood g-d forbid. WE MUST STAND STRONG!!!

After so many years of offering Arafat and Abbas real land concessions I hope the Tel Aviv residents now realize that territory is not the key issue to peace. The Arabs want their new state "judenrien" and Israel flooded with their so called millions of refugees descendents. Then Tel Aviv will be targeted with Jaffo reclaimed by the Palestinians. The Palestinian Arabs are waiting for September to launch another intifada. I hope to see a rally in Rabin Square that shows the world that Israelis from both the right, left and center of the political spectrum stand together in this ongoing fight against Arab terrorism.
