Air and defense forces are one.

LET SEE IN THE LAST 4 WARS ISRAEL TOOK EGYPT TO THE CLEANERS. MAYBE ITS TIME WE TOOK BACK THE WHOLE OIL FIELDS AGAIN.

this time when the IDF put boots into Gaza they should confiscate every single rocket, missile, launcher, mortar, gun, ammunition, bullet and any other weapon known to man from these imbeciles. They cannot be trusted with a single arm as their intellects are no different than little boys with toy guns

Jennie, I live in Gaza, I work in Gaza I talk to people everyday. The majority of Gazans are against firing rockets against Israel, they have no choice, they are not making the decsins. I know you will come back and tell me whu did they elect Hamas. Yes they did becuase they had to elect someone but at the end of the day if a Gazans stepped up and said no to rockets against Israel, you know what will happen, he will be called a collaborateor then will disappear. This is life in Gaza, people do not have much choices to make. They are caught up in the middle. If you walk in the streets of Gaza you will hear people denounce Hamas and Islamic Jihad and a daily basis. People like Sara B should realize that humans are humans and there are some eveil people out their maybe few but they will be the mostr visibile. Thanks for understanding and I hope one day you come to Gaza and see for youeself how peacfeul are Gazans despite the few that are beoing violent.

Thank you for your kind words, but why on earth would you think that any act against Gaza should be restricted to conventional weapons? It would be like challenging the Hydra -- cut off one head, and two grow in its place. We need the little helper with the smudge pot, searing the cut-off head so that it can never grow back. Just like what the United States did in Japan, thus saving the lives of over a million U.S. soldiers. The amount of radiation that would be released into the atmosphere would be significantly less than that released by Chernobyl and Fukushima. Or do we wish to condemn the good citizens in the south of Israel to a life of terror and bomb shelters? The time for game-playing is over. Cease-fires -- which are routinely abrogated by the ersatz "Palestinian" terrorists -- are only useful to allow the terrorist elements to regroup. Either that or pound Gaza night and day, day and night, until no two bricks are left standing upon one another. Then the ground troops. When there is no one left to challenge them. We have suffered far too long at the hands of these demonic and soulless ersatz "Palestinians." Remember the riotous celebrations in Gaza following the events of September 11, 2001? I lost a few really good friends whose only mistake on Tuesday, September 11, 2001 was that they went to work. I haven't forgotten, and I am not likely to forgive. Moreover, the Allies put an end to the evil that was Nazi Germany by carpet bombing them into submission. Israel is a sovereign state, and has an equal -- or better -- right to counter a terrorist rabble that is sworn to the destruction of the State of Israel. There is no making peace with those "people." Ridding the world of them is no different than putting down a rabid dog. And no one questions the wisdom of that.

In view of the fact that the Jews are the genetic blood brothers of the Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese.

And where have you been with your posts, when those "genetic brothers", deliberately & consistently aiming and sending their rockets to our schools and homes, killing, maiming and causing lifelong psychological damage to our children and peaceful citizens ? Is that not shameful to you, you hypocrat ?

#32 ehal - one detail (and a bit more), if you please. The ‘detail’: When you speak of “Palestinians” being ‘displaced’, please keep in mind that most of them left at the behest of arab armies, expecting to return as soon as the arab armies would push the Jews into the sea. Some were driven out, some were persuaded to stay. The bit more: On the other hand, more Jews were driven out of arab countries after the 1948 war than arabs who left “Palestine”. Israel took them in. As far as I’m concerned, an exchange of homes, land, etc, was completed; possessions left by the Jews were exchanged for those left by the arabs. Done.

It's good to hear what you tell us about gazans. But that is not what we hear; not even via indirect messages. There seems to be more opinions in gaza than the ones you hear. And those others seem to be in the majority.

Tell that to the Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese, et al.

Does anyone else find it quite amazing that with all of the rockets launched at Israel over the past few days that there does not seem to be even one Israeli casualty. Makes one wonder if they are doing it to provoke, they don't know how to use their weapons or God's hand is protecting the Israeli citizens.

and last flop! You know as well any anyone that Israel always lies about their casualties...you will find out in about a week..when they start making claims on the govt. for reparations for damages and for being frightened... TATA

If the peace loving people in Gaza are really majority, Now would be the high time to demonstrate it. When there is a will, there is a way, Mark... We are only a stone throw away.. Sara B is correct in all her posts. She tells it the way it really is : fair and square. Actions speak louder, then words..

You are 'Shakespeare's comic relief' on Ynet. (Look it up.)

All sides are behaving shamefully, but this is for those Jews whose souls are consumed with hatred for their brothers. Look in your own heart.. "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him." Leviticus 19:17

What should one do when you are approached with vile hatred and the desire to kill you? Ask the Jews, as it is they who are the target of hatred. You are the one behaving shamefully. It seems that your soul is consumed with hatred for the Jews, as you ignore the actions of those who began this and publicly call for the Jews destruction. For shame.
