I don't pretend to have any knowledge other than the fact that the Dome intercepts rockets fired by the Hudlums in Gaza, and that is not to say that the Dome works every time. What I AM very curious about is when is BiBi going to get his finger out (wherever it might be) and send the hoodlums in gaza a few gifts from Israel. And please don't try telling me the muzzies will tire of the charade and will all go home happily and stay home forever more. If ever I heard of such rubbish it is pouring out of BiBi's mouth. As for your "faithful" friend ehud barack... BiBi you really do need to open your eyes very big and if you can't see the pushing and shoving of pip-squeak Barak, then you need to step down. You will NEVER again get my vote. Just so you know BiBi, like your mate Barak you are a traitor and a useless one at that! Barak must be happy now... he is pleasing his pal (another useless traitor) in the White House. My goodness, what will ehud do once Obama is kicked out as early as next year?

ISRAEL is attacked.Use drastic measures NOW.Don t let the enemies organise themselves and get stronger. It is later then you think. May all Israel join forces,and with G-Ds help win this war with as less victims as possible.

Destroy GAZA

rockets. Then give it a while, wait for the Hamas leaders to leave their holes, and kill them off one by one. I dont like collateral damage, but when they use human shields it's inevitable.

It is time to make a jewish spring in Israel.Netenyahu should make reforms not attacks on innocent humans.Israel should be a democratic country.

I can tell you what won't work, doing next to nothing, which is what Israel seems to be doing right now. Your not making the Pals pay any real price, so why should they stop. You have overwhelming power, now is the time to use air power. You know where the military targets are, make sure you hit them. I understand that right now, Hamas is trying to bait Israel. When things loosen up hit them. But you could still get the tunnels that go into Egypt. The bottom line Israel will choose the time and place for retaliation. Israel will not let the Pals and Hamas force them into any premature moves. Wait till Hamas thinks it's over, then BANG, it will be. BTW I would like to point out to the apologists of Hamas, the rockets you call "bottle rockets" and not real weapons, have killed and injured people in these recent attacks. So there goes that stupid argument you morons always make. Your phony "disproportional force" BS just went up in smoke again. How does it taste??

I notice that Livni is not boasting about the "quiet" from Gaza. She praised herself so many times for not crushing Hamas during Cast Lead.

There is a lot of denial coming from those in Israel who put all their eggs in the America basket. They see all the holes in the basket but their misplaced,blind faith will not allow reality to awaken them. Every single thing Israel has looked to the U.S. to bring under her global prestige and power has evaporated including the phony peace with Egypt. The first thing the idol worshipers in Jerusalem did when Egypt became threatening was to call Washington for replacement diapers. Netanyahu and Barak got their orders by way of the Arab League to Obama to Jerusalem ; Stop retaliating against Gaza and immediately apologize to Egypt. The same Road Map god who restrained Israel under Bush1,Clinton,Bush2 and pushed the counterfeit peace agenda Israel still gets on her knees to as if they were God. When President Bush called P.M. Olmert to retreat the IDF in Lebanon before Hezbollah was defeated you listened as you did before you defeated Hamas in Gaza. Looking to your golden calf to save Israel has only brought weakness and war to you. Thanks to your religious obedience to Washington your enemies see a weak and fearful Israel Israel is unprepared for a hostile, radicalized Islamic army now being given permission by the idiots in Jerusalem to flood the Sinai which will only make matters worse.

want peace. YOU STARTED this time as well. how hell you speak?

Israel has messed up a little on all fronts. not only are they making more enemy's but they are causing them all to unite. if the existing path is maintained things will get more unstable for Israel. they have amazingly started to beg for apologies to be accepted by Egypt which has humiliated them as never before in recent history. this has got to be the lowest we have seen the Jewish state in our times

why were shelters not sent months ago?

I support my people, the Jewish people in this time of stress. Terri I like what you write. Our leaders are in a quandrey they want to end the terror, but they do not want to get involved in a war with Egypt, nor do they want to send ground troops into Gaza. Historical decisions lead us to the difficult position we are now in. Begin gave back Sinai. He should have made the Egyptians take responsibility for Gaza. Mofaz capitulated to pressure from Condaleeza Rice and withdrew from the Philadelphia corridor.Without Egyptian cooperation, which we are not going to receive, the flow of arms into Gaza will proceed unabated. The terror attacks are planned and directed from the mullahs in Teheran. Gaza, hamas is simply an Iranian proxy. The recent well planned attacks were designed to get us into a war with Egupt. What should we do? My opinion, attack the strip day and night destroy hamas and kill all of its operatives., by air if possible. Use helicopters, jets, drones, missiles. A ground invasion is my last choice.

Netanyahu is surrounded by a heap of lazy, but arrogant and greedy hyenas whose only interest is their own political survival. Not that Netanyahu is much better, but even if he wanted to do something about it, he has nobody he can lean on.

after Cast Lead? I thought you said that Cast Lead would have stopped the rockets...didn't Livni say so? Suddenly you are thinking about toppling Hamas? Your excuse for not crushing Hamas during Cast Lead was that it would be replaced by a more extreme group. So that no longer applies? Man, you politicians sound absolutely foolish and rudderless. You have no vision, no policy and no plan. I am at a loss to understand why there is no plan for low level responses in equal proportion to the rockets from Gaza, in addition to the pin-point strikes. In the skirmish after Lebanon war 2 many recommended it. 2 unguided Qassam rockets from Gaza=2 from Israel plus some tunnels or whatever. What is the point in sending up planes to target empty areas? It is the money you like to spend, no doubt, while you show your air superiority. As if that will intimidate the terrorists. People are again recommending it but I suppose there must be an excellent reason for incurring the unnecessary expense of sending jets to fire on empty areas - a specialty of Barak. Pure extravagance.

for those who are quick to criticize. It is a VERY difficult situation. Hamas needs Israel to attack for its survival. Is Israel prepared for missles from Lebanon as well ? But then again, the world is upside down

Why is the murder of Jewish civilians by viley, racist, arab, so-called "palestinian" groups not condemned by the UN? The UN oesnt care that Jewisdh civilians were mrudered in cold blood? Only terrorists killed gets an emergency session?

Hey "Terry" in "Eilat" - Instead of talking the talk, why don't you walk the walk and send YOUR kids into Gaza/Sinai or, better yet, why don't you go to these places YOURSELF and DIE for Israel, are you ready to do that??? It's easy to sit behind a computer and extend your bravado criticizing the Israeli gov't. When was the last time you've ever even BEEN to Israel, "Terry" in "Eilat" ?

Best post of the week, sad but true. What a bunch of weak clowns this nation has become.

...when you intensify the fire, expect to be consumed by it...!!

Being a sane person too who cares for the rights of my fellow citizens more than civilian population elsewhere, I would normally stand by your choice of 24/7 strike on Gaza. However, I guess today we have a good reason to restrain ourselves for another 3-4 days and it is called Palmer report.

Just sit back they will tire. Is that what the USA would do if Rockets were being fired at US. IMPEACHMENT is in our favor if the President did that and the USA were being Attacked.

you have a lot to loose ; instead of making peace with Israel, your HAMAS (regulary elected by the Gazans) is responsible for firing at innocent civilians in Southern Israel. I carefully read HAMAS Charter and know her hidden agenda. I predict that the Palestinian people lead by Fatah/HAMAS will not get a state in September. If HAMAS lays down weapons there will be peace but if Israel lays down her arms, she will be finished. Shalom from Holland
