1. ANY UN or Obama condemnation?
Bless israel. ,   United States   (06.16.11)
I didn't think so. Somehow, the 10,000 rockets from Gaza seems to have escaped their attention.
2. Just what obama has been longing for!
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.16.11)
3. " we know who's living on the other side" i loved it
Ester   (06.16.11)
beautiful and sad quote
4. They really want that flottila
rebecca ,   Modiin   (06.16.11)
5. This has been done by the PA
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (06.16.11)
They are one and the same. Time to stop these attacks was over a long time ago.
6. rockets from Gaza
Dik ,   Spijkenisse, Holland   (06.16.11)
no doubt Hamas/Fatah will declare that his is not in their interest. Meanwhile showing their true colours, because they are responsible.. Shalom from Holland
7. how can you win pr war by peaceful means of
observer ,   Egypt   (06.17.11)
rockets' lull, no blockade's lull. Israel is already isolated long before Sept. Thanks Israel for not lifting the siege.
8. the iron dome takes out all those who try to get in
(06.17.11)
to populated areas, others left alone
9. first hamas qassam in weeks
yonatan silverman ,   tel aviv israel   (06.17.11)
Is this a Hamas Fatah partnership attack? Should the IDF hold Fatah responsible and bomb Ramallah? Why don't you attribute this dreadful rocket attack to the Fatah Hamas partnershp?
10. Hmmmm...
LebanonPride ,   Canada   (06.17.11)
It makes no sense to do this at this time... And the target area... Is it completely crazy to believe this has something to do with the support Palestine is recieving for September?
11. #7: Rafah opened: Israeli Crossings greatly eased
EZ ,   US   (06.17.11)
You idiot. Israel dosnt have to let a damn thing into that hell-hole now that you Egyptian fools have opened rafah. You, as a Muslim Arab know damn well that rockets are fired because of your hatred of Jews and has NOTHING to do with any blockade. We should have kept the Sinai instead of being so generous with you: you have short memories, no gratitude and PLENTY of hate (and dirt) over there in egypt. If we'd have kept the Sinai there would be NO rocket attacks from Gaza: it's just as much Egypts fault (and failure) as it is ham-ass. All of you're "brothers" have been learning tough lessons in Iraq, Afghanistan and libya---perhaps you're time as well as Syria, Lebanon and the pal scum in Israel are next. C'mon observer: let your giant ego show so we can all have a good laugh. You're a HATEFUL LOT, thirsting for blood and death. Not an ounce of civility among you. We in America remember what you savages did to our female reporter a few months back...every day. Even you know it's just a matter of time before the civilized world loses it's temper with you guys and that will be the end to terrorism. And that time is VERY, VERY close.
12. #7 NON-OBSERVER WHO KNOW ZILCH
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
There was no siege until Hamas started the rocket bombardments Now, you want Israel to reward Hamas because they resumed the rocket fire ? Since you claim to be in Egypt, go play with the Mummies, they're as dead upstairs as you are
13. #9 Yonatan Silverman
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
Since Hamas & Fatah are partners, they should each be responsible for the other party Bomb both of them !!
14. the usual isralian respond...sure :(
gowana ,   egypt   (06.17.11)
Surely israrel will respond for this like the usual way .. planes will fly and kill some inocent ppl .... u really strange ppl u suffer from hitler dayz and now u did the same with palastinians just the same without any mistake not just in that event but in every thing u done ... and sure killing and riping and to make homeless is not in ur religion nor any religion and when they just try to defence..oh they r terrorism..judging without thinking...every one try to but himself in his place and think what u gonna do .. sure it will not be puplished
15. Hit the Islamist-Jihadist terrorists
Brod ,   USA   (06.17.11)
Israel should send its drones to exterminate the Islamist-Jihadist terrorists attacking her. Don't be a sitting duck to these rockets.
16. #14 So brave of you to leave the main
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (06.17.11)
detail out, which is the fact that Gaza was your land and you deserted it. You are so peace loving, then man up! Take your land back and take care off your own people. You signed a junk "peace treaty", which in fact is showing that you have no intentions nor love for your own kind. Then you lecture us about being humane? Classic Arab irresposibility!!!
17. # 14
Jules   (06.17.11)
Gowana, you can resolve that problem in one day. Just ask HAMAS to recognize Israel, and there will be peace forever ! Have you ever tried to read HAMAS Charter ? An amusing document, I can assure you (don't fall asleep though).
18. #14, gowana, egypt
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.17.11)
What are you trying to say? Do you think it's okay to fire rockets at Israelis? You, "gowana", with your twisted logic denying Israelis any rights to respond on the aggression committed by so called by you "palastinians". Didn't Israelis give unilaterally Gaza to 'palastinians"?And what actually Hamas is defending in Gaza from Jews? Didn't you hear: There is only one Israeli in Gaza, Gilad Shalit, who was ambushed on Israeli territory, wounded, kidnapped, and he is being held for almost 5 years without Red Cross or any other humanitarian organization being able to visit him? You wrote: "...and sure killing and riping and to make hoimeless is not in ur religion". Are you trying to accuse IDF of raping "palastinians"? Even "palastinians" never accused Israelis of this terrible crime. But, unfortunately, you believe in what you wrote. Do you know to how many "palastinians" Israeli doctors saved life? Can you give an example of one such case done by Egyptian doctor to a Jew? As you see Israeli website published your cry for help. Yes. I see your talkback as cry for help to give poor educated people like you more broad vision of the events.
19. #10 LebanonBS and his laughable WHITEWASH
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (06.17.11)
So LebanonBS scratches his head and WONDERS about the MOTIVE and LOCATION of this TERROR attack. He clearly BELIEVES that the palis would NOT do anything to jeopardise about their assured September "VICTORY". His "BROAD" mind simply CANNOT accommodate the FACT that hamas and its affiliates in gaza have a die-hard HABIT of NOT keeping or HONOURING their own word. So he does what "BROAD-MINDED" people like him does BEST (among other things) - slyly INSINUATE that ISRAEL is behind the attack.
20. #7 - hardly a siege when the backdoor is open
William ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
and according to global polls, it seems we're not so isolated after all. Majority of Americans are siding with Israel, especially pushing the US to stand up for us in the UN. Countries that once declared support for a "Palestinian" State are now having second thoughts. If this is isolation....I like it.
21. Lull broken...time to break the lull in Gaza
William ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
and remind them just what a rocket gets you these days.
22. #10 - Do "Palestinian" terrorists need an excuse?
William ,   Israel   (06.17.11)
Not really. Whether internal strife, tribal friction, appeasing the god in Tehran, or just plain boredom, a rocket attack on civilians is always good in their eyes. No excuse needed. Speaking of "support receiving for September", wonder if you caught the stories on how quite a few countries who supported the "Palestinian" State bid at the UN are now having second thoughts, with a Veto member insisting they'll block it.
23. Last TERROR attack was on 28 May
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (06.17.11)
As reported by AFP. So the FAKE truce - or lull or whatever lie that hamas FEEDS to the world's EAGER mouth - lasted only NINETEEN days.
24. Again? Clobber'em Now and Hard.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.17.11)
25. How come...
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.17.11)
I am wondering how come that BBC and other unbiased world media always manage to skip this first step in the new circle of violence and never miss to report the Israel's response.
26. No 14: Every rocket from Gaza is an act of war
Tim ,   Brighton   (06.17.11)
And it is HAMAS who must take full responsibility and the consequences for the retaliation which will inevitably follow To be quite honest No 14 despite my well known support for Palestinian Statehood these unprovoked and indiscrimate rocket attacks are intolerable and I support a forceful military retaliatory air strike for EACH AND EVERY rocket aimed at Israel It really does show just how devious untrustworthy manipulative Hamas are. And Im not even sure who gives the orders. Some say Haniyeh but many now believe orders come straight from Mashaal and Ahmadinejad without any reference to Haniyeh with Zahar playing off one side against the other. What a load of scum. Fatah BEWARE
27. Copy of E Mail sent to BBC 17th June 11
Tim ,   Brighton   (06.17.11)
Dear Sirs Today the Israeli Press have reported a renewed Rocket Attack from Gaza after a lull of about three weeks These Rocket attacks are indiscrimate attacks aimed at civilian population centres This resumption may even represent yet another round of repeated attacks and escalation from Gaza and therefore is a very serious development Is it possible that this time the BBC can report on this Hamas ATTACK from Gaza FIRST ie the attack that provoked the inevitable Israeli response rather than WAIT to report the Israeli response without reference to the initial attack?
28. More Palestinian lies: there is no "ceasefire"
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.17.11)
Wow. An entire 3 weeks without a rocket or mortar fired at Israeli civilians? Get the Guinnes people on the phone, quick! I think it's a world record for the 21st century! The Palestinians are liars. Their leaders are liars. They keep saying they want peace, but they speak with their actions in rockets, mortars, rock throwing, fire bomb throwing, shootings, knifings, and the brutal, ugly, horrific war crime carried out earlier this year in massacring an innocent family including sticking a knife into a baby girl. Palestine - your face is a kassam anti-personnel missile.
29. #27 Tim - best wishes
CK Tan ,   Singapore, Singapore   (06.17.11)
I applaud your endeavour :-)
30. #14 gowana
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.17.11)
I seem to recall that Egypt started all the wars against Israel Correct me if I'm wrong, with proof Stop pretending that your Egyptian, you're fooling nobody, including myself
