thank god not everyone in Israel has such a low IQ then you 2 people. There are still innocent mothers, children, brothers and sisters etc in gaza who do not fire at us. Intelligence brings solutions and peace, hatred and hostility only causes more aggression and violence, as hard as it may be. And here in ashkelon we have alarms all the time. Retaliation could not solve anything in the history of humanity and in the 21st century one should expect more from us. Terrorists shall be found and brought to justice with precision and determination, but no one else.

The rockets and recent terrorism in Eilat are not the main acts of aggression; they are the new tests to the Iron Dome, and also to see how Israel reacts to the current confrontations, before the main attack occurs (probably in Sept. after Palestinians go to the UN). Israel better prepare itself Now, both on the ground, as well as a proper PR campaign. I noticed that on US television, the news was showing damage in Gaza, rather than the terrorist attack in Eilat, or the bombs dropping throughout the country. This gives sympathy to the Palestinians, not the Israelis. Obviously the Palestinians figured out how to use PR effectively. When will Israel realize this?

But Netanyhou is the only one who knows what it is.

You can only propose something like this, if you come up with a solution for the stateless Arabs who live in the West Bank and of course, the others, too. Israel some decades ago decided to be a "good guy". This is incompatible with the attitude of the surrounding Arab leaders, who don't give a shit on human rights and the Geneva convention,..... or so. Israel must add price tags in advance. This will really deter! The difficulty lies in a definition of the items, to which it assigns the price tags. Example: For the next terror attack like the one in Eilat, we go after XY and kill him. We need to prepare the bullets and write the names on them in advance. This wont let them sleep any more. It will no longer only be an abstract certainty for an XY in Gaza or somewhere else, that by taking over a job as a terrorist may cost him his life. Naming them in advance will confine them to nightmares. It will drive them nuts. And then of course, Israel must deliver. It must blow these guys away by any means.

Barnea is wrong. Israel has a great strategy, talk with Professor Martin Sherman. Israel's real problem is that it her leaders are either corrupt or can't lead. #27: "Olmert in uniform". Never a truer word said.

Why does he not admit that the whole Camp David Accord was a desasterous failure. Look at syria have we had any more trouble from syria than Egypt ??? Yet we chose to give up strategic territory plus oil fields and for what!!! The Lubavitcher Rebbe was the one to scream against the camp david accord but no one listened and the results we are just starting to see.

No strategy, is also a strategy,what does Mr Barnea want Israel to do ?.reconquer Gaza,complain to the UN,complain to the Arab league,to the EU.

Norman ! Any idea how many young lives and how many Billions were saved by Israel, because of the peace treaty with Egypt ?.and how many young lives and Billions were lost because of no peace with Syria ?.had there been peace with syria,like with Egypt,no Hezbulla and hamas would have come into being,you really believe that Egypt would have agreed that Israel should hold on to the Sinai forewer ?.and how many Lubavichers died in the wars of Israel ?.

no strategy is not a strategy it is the evil not from the enemy but from inside in a narrow example if i have not any idea what to do tomorrow . go to work or not to the market or not clean the house or not god say evil like the confused one who do not know what to do .. but i think israil had a strategy depends on force and support of the west . may it is not so perfect or it needs other modification
