31. With quiet determination and resolve
Tim ,   Brighton   (03.12.12)
We will match force with force And make no mistake No IFS NOT BUTS NO MAYBES. On Hamas head are any deaths of its civilians that are the result of Israels so far measured and controlled retaliation. I DO NOT SHED ANY TEARS for the innocents killed through Hamas actions And Hamas actions are THERE for the whole world to see And Hamas - that detestable gang of criminals and thugs are more than happy to see Gaza civilians die as martyrs - while they stay bunkered down safely in their underground dens in the outskirts of Gaza City and Khan Yunis and elsewhere and the terrorist masterminds bunkered away from the turmoil around Beit Hanoun and Deir el Balah - for what? To ensure the money flow to their already swollen coffers from Ahmadinejad continues whilst the rest of Gaza burns Make the sounds of war ring in their ears night after night day after day ON and ON and ON and STOP ONLY until there is an Agreement sponsored and GUARANTEED by the UN once and for all to stop these attacks - FOR GOOD No TEMPORARY ceasfire IS ENOUGH

There wouldn't be any flying gutters if the other side didn't create almost a million refugees, locked the rest in Gaza/Bank ghettos and building a settlements on stolen land ,...
33. #32 - Hamas admitted Gaza wasn't occupied
William ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
They said so proudly in January - did you miss the press release? For the record, Gaza wouldn't have a blockade if Hamas didn't launch a unilateral war of annihilation on Israel in 2007, and fired thousands of rockets target civilians which the world called "war crimes". The UN justified the Gaza blockade, killing the credibility of your statement entirely. West Bank? well, there was plenty of free movement, no checkpoints or security wall, and the fastest growing economy in the world until Arafat started his failed intifada. Yes, it does take 2 to tango - the "Palestinians" put the record on, and we mopped the floor with them. Had they chosen peace like Jordan, the dance would have been quite different.
34. #26 - but they can afford millions $$$ in weapons
William ,   Israel   (03.12.12)
and useless rockets, using public funds that could have been used to protect against targeted airstrikes. Hamas was pretty quick to find shelter...in hospitals. Good thing Gazans are facing Israel and not Syrians or Egyptians, or they'd really need shelters to avoid the indiscriminate blood bath.
35. #32
Beary White ,   Norway   (03.12.12)
LOL, you are cracking jokes, LOL. Love your sense of humour. :-) After the Ottomans, The strip was first filled up with egyptions, was it occupied? Then Egypt lost it to Israel (still not occupied, not a word from Egypt abouth occupation!! And now Egypt has just said they do not want to have the strip back :-) Then it is not occupied, but has to be treathed as... a gift....:-) People living in that area has to behave, instead the voted for terrorist-leadership, and look what they got, a continous running terror-leadership with death and violence, a real piece of terrorist-shit.
36. To Split, the idiot
Reuven   (03.12.12)
Why is Hebron called Hebron (an Hebraic root). Why is Judea called Judea? The Land of Israel is not stolen land. It historically belongs to the Jewish People. And there have been more than a million Jewish refugees, who have had to flee from racist, apartheid-practicing Arab lands!

I'm buying your peace with Jordan plus "justice" at UN, without us you wouldn't last a month,...
41. Don't mind Split
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.13.12)
Those loose bells in his belfry always make those ringing noises
42. Innocent people used as Shield
ltrail ,   United States   (03.13.12)
There is only one way to stop hamas from using human shields is for the so-called palestinians to "put down" those who use the tactic. i'm certain that there are many so-called palestinians who are sick of the criminal ways of hamas; those who mourn the loss of their own people.
43. #4 SPOT ON!!!
Jackson ,   Melbourne   (03.13.12)
why not do exactly what the gazans are doing and return fire. i thought by now the southern communities wouldve taken matters into their own hands and made their own rockets and fired them! the irony would be spectacular to witness! DO IT!!!!
44. Gaza has a death wish
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (03.13.12)
much the same with the arab spring. Only muslims glorify death and the rewards are imaginary 'virgins.'
45. The Arab Way of War
David Firester ,   New York, NY   (03.13.12)
It should not shock or surprise us that the Palestinian terrorists launch attacks with the express purpose of killing civilians on both sides of the Gaza-Israel border. Indeed, it is a staple of the Arab Way of War to cause as much civilian death as possible. As the Iron Dome becomes more potent as a force neutralizer we will likely see the Palestinians search for new and inventive ways to push Israel to "over-react" and "kill" civilians. In terms of military tactics the Arab terrorists are experts in achieving civilian casualties and manipulating their opponents to appear to be doing the same. On moral grounds they are defunct, but it matters not for them. For them, more civilian deaths are a tool to be used to advance the notion that the "aggressor" state holds the key to stopping the violence. Unfortunately, the global perspective aligns with them, as they are obsessed with "Underdogma." Look it up.
46. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.13.12)
Do you understand the difference between a refugee and a displaced person? The Arabs who left Israel did so voluntarily. We don't have to take them back, and we will not. Besides, we didn't create almost a million displaced persons -- their high birth rate took care of that. However, I will point out that one million Jews were expelled from their homes in Arab and Moslem lands, with little more than the clothes on their backs. THEY were refugees, and all have been absorbed. Why couldn't the 22 Arab states absorb displaced Arabs who voluntarily left Israel? The settlements are fully legal, because they are built on non-sovereign territory which was acquired by Israel in the course of fighting a DEFENSIVE war against Jordan. Do you have any idea how many Jews were expelled from their homes in the West Bank -- where many had lived for centuries -- when Jordan took control in 1948? Your deep, pathological hatred for Jews and the State of Israel blinds you to truth, the facts and international law. Shameful.
