31. Israel should make one big hole in the direction of each roc
rachel ,   usa   (08.20.11)
rocket . that will stop them
32. security
DAVID ASLESON ,   MINNEAPOIS MINNESOTA   (08.20.11)
Let ISRAEL decide its security. Here in USA we are not a small country surrounded by states that want us wiped off the face of earth. Also a United Nations that is a Joke. We can only support Israel.
33. Counter-Battery Artillery
Lee ,   USA   (08.20.11)
Israeli artillery can hit anywhere in Gaza. Why risk the lives of pilots? Drones can locate the source of incoming rockets, fire back a few artillery shells at that location. It's the same type of indiscriminate fire the Pals use; the UN can't complain.
34. SELF-PRESERVATION
Richard ,   Boca Raton USA   (08.20.11)
Self-preservation is the key to survival. Israel should cause so much pain to the Palestinians that these 8th Century throwbacks will think twice before trying to kill a Jew again. Enough already. I'm disgusted with Israel's lack of response. Think about it, Israel's enemies are stocking up with all kinds of weapons and it is just a matter of time when Israel will HAVE NO CHOICE but to shock the world with its response of self-preservation. The time is NOW, before it is too late. The liberals here in the USA and the rest of the world will piss in their pants and complain that Israel overreacted -- self-preservation. TOO BAD!! It's about time we sent all these terrorists to Allah and the virgins.
35. Arrogance and pure Racism
Michael ,   Tucson, AZ USA   (08.20.11)
Since when are Palestinians "illegal aliens" on their own land ? Does my question violate your comments policy re "incitement, slander, racist slurs, and inappropriate language" and hence you won't publish. Cheers.
36. Funny ,to put down Hamas home made rockets
Sami ,   Lebanon   (08.20.11)
from sewer pipe and sugar ,you need a 50,000 worth Iron Drom sophisticated interceptor ,that has efficiency 10% .wait till Hizbollah try his toys.
37. Iron Dome works well
Stephen in New York   (08.20.11)
There may be some operational teething issues as the crews become proficient in operating a new and complex system.
38. #36 Sami, not so funny
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (08.20.11)
The last time Hamas was taught a lesson, Gaza was virtually turned into mounds of rubble, my main regret is that it wasn’t As you may recall, when Hezbollah last attacked, half of Lebanon was destroyed, what are you looking for, the other half to also be trashed You must have been hiding in Nasrallah's bunker if you failed to see the results of your last war
39. #36 so true
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.20.11)
Eventually after the Muslims have backed Israel into a corner it will have to come to Nuclear weapons on the hordes of allah across the green crescent. Cost will be much cheaper than Iron Dome. It's not too far off the remember that your future is dust and sand melted into glass Sami.
40. #36
Zoe ,   Los angeles, CA   (08.20.11)
41. Hypocrisy
Toby ,   USA   (08.20.11)
It's interesting you feel that way Michael. It says you live in Tuscon, AZ. A state that was part of Mexico and is an uproar over illegal immigration. I'm sure you are equally offended at the mention of the word "illegal immigrants" in regards to that situation. Also, I would like to know what Palestinian town or nation ever existed in Ashdod?
42. Anniversary
Andrew Square ,   Valencia-Spain   (08.20.11)
Tomorrow, day 21 of August, there are fulfilled 42 years of an event that is not due to forget. The gentile Michael Rohan, Australian without any tie with Judaism, set fire to the Al Aksa Mosque, erected on Temple Mount.
43. #36 You mean Iran's toys
Ron ,   US   (08.20.11)
Nasrallah the Iranian puppet doesn't walk to the toilet without Iran's permission. And remember, they cut Hezbollah's funding due to poor economy in Iran. Has Lebanon finished rebuilding since the 2006 debacle?
44. #37 AND WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW?
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (08.20.11)
Sitting in your armchair in NEW YORK , thousands of miles away from the action .It is facile for you to pontificate and lecture from the safety of your home.If Iron Dome was so effective ,there would not be so many injured today .You are a fool so please keep quiet .
45. #37 STEPHEN THE EXPERT
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (08.20.11)
Who knows nothing about the reality here.
46. #37 "IRON DOME WORKS WELL"
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (08.20.11)
Not against dozens of mortars it doesn't ,but you are not smart enough to understand that .
47. Israel,Just take Gaza back {end}
pasquinel ,   canada   (08.20.11)
48. #37 NOT NICE TO BE INSULTED
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (08.20.11)
Is it? Do unto others.....
49. AMAZING!!!
David ,   Haifa Israel   (08.20.11)
all the arabs and thir lovers posting cant wait for hizbullah to join in.... well... lebanon and beirut will evaporate uner a mushroom cloud. it will be good to make arabs extinct.
50. #37 YES IRON DOME WORKS WELL
LAWRENCE ,   Zefat (Safed)   (08.20.11)
It is the leadership here which is defective.
