32. To 17
Avi Bressler ,   Mendham USA   (11.01.11)
New Jersey is a state where the Police murder innocent black people on a regular basis.. Where do you get the nerve to talk to a person in Israel when you live in the Murder Capital of the United States ?? Also the most racist people in the USA...
33. #15 you have to be kidding!
JL ,   Israel   (11.01.11)
Peaceful Palestinian people? You have to be kidding. Where've you been the last 40 years or so? Or are you Rip Van winkle?

35. Hold Your Fire!
Taz Man ,   USA   (11.01.11)
I hate to say it, but the cowards' in Gaza won't tempt fate, because they know if they try anything, now...the IDF has the go ahead to crush them. Even a wild animal/s want to survive; it's just natural instinct. "The Dogs' War" are at the gate, bearing their teeth, while the Gaza rats' are safely on the other side, taunting and squealing like pigs'. Would someone, please, cut the chain! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem! A Christian Zionist
36. What's with the 'massive'? One is too many
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (11.01.11)
37. HOW ISRAEL CAN DEFEAT GAZA
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.01.11)
IsraelI Bureaucracy is the most effective and lethal weapon .Filling in useless and pointless forms and questionnaires all day long and running from office to office to be confronted by rude ,incompetent officials will break the fighting spirit once and for all . After being confronted by all this bureaucracy ,the gazans will regret their being born.
38. #6, the name of the operation
Golani ,   Vineland, USA/Israel   (11.01.11)
The name of the operation should be "Sof Sof".

40. #15 Melissa
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.01.11)
Simple solution, Gaza stops the rocket fire, Israel stops responding You should weep for Palestine, it never existed, it was a figment of the Roman imagination It never had a Capital City, its very own rulers or even money that they issued for themselves Have another Kleenex, you will continue to weep as long as the rocket fire continues
41. # 15
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.01.11)
Madam, we are not ''picking'' on Gaza. Read the news. Your friends in Gaza have been BOMBING southern Israel daily with rockets. killing & destroying, eneding the citizens into trauma, schools are closed & the normal routine of living has been shattered. In plain English, your friends started bombing us. The only way to stop your friends from this evil is to retaliate. Now be quiet will you.

Birdi ,   Israel   (11.01.11)
ROFL.
43. This is exactly what our elected fools will say to Iran
tom ,   tel aviv   (11.01.11)
AFTER the first A-bomb hits Israel: WATCH IT Ahmedinejad, or else...!!!!
44. Israel, you have lost
dixie ,   South Israel   (11.01.11)
Israel's governments for the last 20 years have lost the Jewish State. We have lost, do you get it? When a Prime Minister, two days after a day when 42 rockets fell within 24 hours and one civilian was killed, announces to the media that from "now" on, whenever there is a "massive" attack, we will "go in", possibly even - wow - ground forces, we have lost. What SHOULD have happened is that the night after 30 rockets fell during the day, killing a civilian, the Air Force should have Dresden-bombed Gaza with no announcement to the press and no word to Washington or Egypt or Mr. Magoo. No risking of Israeli soldiers' lives, no risking of human-shield Palestinians. Only when Gaza is reduced to rubble, and the population moved to Egypt where they belong, will Israelis of the south be able to live their lives without fear. We have that right, unless we have lost. We are on the cusp right NOW to make things right and show that losers do not dictate to winners - unless we are not the winners??? Bringing me back to my first "we have lost".
45. Whats "massive" 1 rocket, 1,000 rockets
John ,   NZ   (11.02.11)
46. Operation No Thankyou
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.02.11)
New policy. Take the remains of every rocket fired from Gaza. Launch the remains back -- "no thank you" -- with just as much precision targetting as its initial launch. The local government would suddenly become very, very unpopular in Hamasistan.
47. #44 You are so right !
Peter ,   Israel   (11.02.11)
That's exactly what is happening , and yes , Israel has lost already ..... a long time ago . The Palestinians , and for that matter , the Arabs , have all the time in the world , to wait , wait , and at the end , they will WIN the final Battle , and we will see them for centuries all over what is called today Israel ....... What a pity ....
48. #4 Should we all cheap in and buy you a
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (11.02.11)
one way ticket to Ashkelon or Be'rsheva? You will get a real sense of how foolish we are once you get a missile at your door step. The grad ones are a sight to see. Your get all types of fireworks and sounds. Pal, stick to your Jamaican sand and your choice of smoke. I think they are doing a good job of making you light headed. Are you for real?
49. One possible reason for Israel's repeated restraint
Joe ,   Canada   (11.02.11)
One can criticize the weak response to repeated shelling & now the unofficial leak that the latest one will be graduated: an invitation for more of the sporadic shelling from Gaza. One possible explanation, given the speculation about a forthcoming strike on Iran's nuclear installations, is that Israel does not want to be involved into two concurrent battles. If that explanation is right then the strike against Iran should not be far away in the future, given also the estimates by some that the window of opporunity for an effective one is narrowing.
50. Cuckoo!
Psychiatrist   (11.02.11)
51. Israel Cannot Figure the Intl Card
noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.02.11)
Sarah has it right, why would Israel risk harm to evn one of its soldeirs in a ground assault? Instead, the obvious would be to carpet bomb parts of the Strip, around Hamas, Islamic Jihad fortifications, factories, troop concentrations ( even small ones), and other assets. Israel has thousands of rockets which it could use...It knows that Hamas has set traps for its tanks, IEDs, etc., supplied by Iran or smuggled through Egyp[t, the Sinai, by others. Hamas may also have shoulder fired missiles, from Libya. Israel is still playing around..it wont attack mssively unless attacke similarly by rockets? What does that mean,5, 10, 20, what constitutes? It should follow Turkeys lead...threaten and act (Kurds in Iraq). Israel is still holding back for fear of intl reprisals and condemnation. Speeding up housing wont affect Hamas, just make it more embolden. Its obvious they are dismissing talks for UN pressure to reverse the war gains and its working.
52. Melissa
Robert Makoi ,   Kirakira, Solomon Is   (11.02.11)
I propose - MELISSA, PLEASE CAN I MARRY YOU?! You need to be taught have to have babies and take care of them.
53. Sarah at #1
Cameron ,   USA   (11.02.11)
Damn if you ain't chompin' at the bit! Well, the time has come to get real with Gaza, and put the zap on their pathological games. Hell, stampede the lot into Egypt if necessary. Enough is enough.
54. #15 melissa- READ post #19
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.02.11)
55. #32 avi
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.02.11)
With all due repect...actually, with none whatever: " where the Police murder innocent black people on a regular basis." And where, pray tell, did you get this information? And where did you read they are the most racist people in the US? And if you had bothered to check, NJ is nowhere near the Murder Capital of the US. If you want to insult, it's best to use facts. Although I admit you have a good imagination.
56. IDF has green light to stop rocket attacks
Rachel   (11.02.11)
I will believe it when I see it.
57. Will someone stop Israel
Wolfgang ,   Meerbusch,Germany   (11.02.11)
Why dont you go to Gaza and embrace Hamas ,live there under Sharia and see the other side of the coin. I think you have no clue how big Israel is.All surrounding countries are much bigger.Alltogether are constantly picking and threatning Israel, the only democratic country in that area.
58. #31
jo moor   (11.02.11)
WTF has racist/racism to do with it? With your attitude do you regard Hamas/Hezbulla/PA racists? The word seems to be a knee jerk reply to everything nowdays. The only race in that attitude is the race to disaster. Whats wrong with "kill or be killed" ?
59. Nr 49
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (11.02.11)
You forgot Syria and Hizbollah. However this is not the cause and reason for the Israeli indesition and Hesitation, because this has been going on for Years increasing the danger all the Time. Its the lack of Iseali Leadership, wich is the reason for all of this, and HASHEM the cause, in order that HIS Word shall cme to Fullfillment. Arn.Sweden.
60. #15 Melissa - There are more
Ish Kabibble ,   Delancey   (11.02.11)
Arabs than Jews, they are picking on us, what you resent is that we always manage to beat the crap out of them anytime they start a war
