Any other country would've simply not allowed bandits to accumulate these arsenals of thousands missiles on it's border. You know very well that last Gaza war was not finished - just so that Mr Barak and others would be able to travel freely to Europe, without some bleeding hearts going to court to claim they are war criminals and must be punished for defending Israel. Yes, war is not a pretty business. But it is the ONLY way to bring Gaza to it's senses and eliminate this intolerable situation. Had to be done 2 years ago. Or rather 40...

The Palestinians have to negotiate everything, including how and where to f*** in their homes.

Our deterrence was shattered even more as a result of the shalit deal. Is it any wonder the islamists keep planning more kidnapping and terror. Shalit should not have come home if that was the price. From now on we shouldnt take prisoners at least when it comes to the senior hamas and islamic jihad leaders, low key operatives are different. Kill the hamas leadership. The world wont dare do anything when we act with a sense of justice.

ok now u need to bomb gaza or iran or another arabian country or lebanon and the list is going taller i believe that israel needs a professional political leader supposing that israel has a great military leader

against thieves.

Or "Shooting fish in a barrel 2".

Israel can pulverize the strip in the figurative blink of an eye.

Psalm 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. "What does it mean when God’s own are commanded to “be still”? The injunction is not given to restrict the mobility of God’s people. The duty represents a spiritual disposition that ought to characterize those to whom God’s unfailing promises have been given."

Islam but an all-out ,global war with it's representatives: for most part Arab countries and Iran. It should be plain to see by now.All other action is postponing the inevitable and suffering much more as consequence. The true face of "religion of peace" has been revealed many years ago and no man of integrity can claim cluelessness. Our "conflict" is a minor symptom of this world-spanning cancer.

Every state can defend itself, but when it comes to Israel we are the only except (the UN mentality)..but why...I really don't know... if Gaza was in Russia, the Russians would have destroyed it like the chechen city (Grozny)...we are even too tolerant... in the French -Algerian war about 1 million Algerians died...so what is this hypcocricy against Israel?

Israel has already tried the "all-out war in Gaza" option, and it led here. Israel needs to accept that it will never be able to have peace with the Palestinians until it is willing to make peace with the Palestinians. That ought to be tautological, but an amazing number of Israelis seem to think that they can have peace while still continuing the occupation. Ariel or peace. The choice really is that start.

You've been putting off this "eye-to-eye" blood fight with the Gaza crew for years. There will be casualties, and it will be an absolute PR disaster. You & I always knew always knew this would be inevitable at some point. Has that time arrived?

This author has said the same things, and in the same way, as I have been saying all along. Our pathetic "leaders" had better take notice. We, the Israeli public in general, are opening our eyes and seing all the charade that we have been subjected to by professional politicians who obviously ONLY care about their power and opportunities. And we are tired like hell of all of you always telling us that there is a new chance for "peace," when in reality there is only a new chance for death. Let's kill ALL the terrorists in Gaza. And if civilians fall, so be it!!! After all the terrorists are civilians too, since they do not belong to any recognized army. Let's stop kidding ourselves, the barbaric civilians in Gaza, filled with great hatred and and lust for Jewish blood, massively elected Hamas to power so that they would have much better oportunities to do what they have been doing. Forget about to try and convince the world that we are better than our enemies: THEY DON'T WANT TO BE CONVINCED!!! America and her allies indiscriminately carpet bombed Germany, and then nuked not one, but two, civilian cities in Japan -- just because they could do it and wanted to end the world once and for all. Israel, let us eliminate our enemies, or they will exterminate us sooner than we allow us to think. And if this government does not have the necessary stomach or manhood, let it step aside and let true men do the job of Jewish men who truly care for their people. Now is the time ... ad let Obama and the whole world go to hell.

What is the point of another Gaza war? Not so long ago, the whole Gaza Strip was protected by a few hundred balding miluimnikim, Jews shopped in Gaza, Gazans shopped in Israel, and Jewish villages thrived. Then you decided to give Fatah/Hamas weapons and legitimacy while sending the IDF and police to attack your own people. Do you think now will killing 000, 2000, 5000 will stop these people, people you armed, you educated and you supplied? You want to win? Declare sovereignty in Judea and Samaria and an end to the fiction of the "refugees" and the "Palestinian people". You want to lose? Go beg Shoah Denier Abbas to talk to you while sending YSM to beat some Jews.

AT VOLVOGRAD IN WW2 THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE LET THE NAZI SUPERRACEMEN RUN OUT OF AMMUNITION AND THE JEWS OUGHT DO THE SAME IN GAZA WITH INTERMITTENT NIGHT CALLS. THE CIVILIANS OF GAZA OUGHT LEAVE FOR EYGYPT AND FORCE THE QUASSAM EL GRAND MUFTIS TO FACE THE MUSIC WITHOUT HIDING BEHIND WOMEN AND CHILDREN.

It is time for war in Gaza. Not for an "operation". Our problems in Gaza stem from our lunatic retreat from Gaza. In fact, virtually all Israel's serious problems stem from retreats. We must go into Gaza. We must trounce our enemies there. This time, we must keep Gaza forever. Let us forever end the lunatic policy of Israeli retreat.

is treating it, in the begin stadium.

Which means it is to be used to protect the homefront while the IDF cleans the clocks of the terrorist as quickly as possible and stop the missles. The IDF is using it absolutely wrong. It is usin it merely to pacify the public.

to send the IDF Goliath after the Gazan David!

Wrong on quite a few counts. 1. The last war in gaza was not all out war. It was with limited objectives. 2. Israel is willing to make peace. The “Palestinians” are not. 3. There is no ‘occupation’. Israel withdrew from gaza, remember? (And how did that work out?) You need to accept that Israel will never be able to have peace with the “Palestinians” until the “Palestinians” are willing to make peace with Israel. An amazing number of people, including yourself, seem to think that there can be peace while the “Palestinians” still continue their war. Wake up and smell the coffee.

everyone to any arab country and anyone who refuses to leave can starve.

In theory, the time is right to put anyone who hell bent on destroying the only democracy in the region in their place. Practically, the only way a Westernized Israeli public woulde handle this is to be fully prepared - meaning Iron Dome, Magic Wand, Arrow for Iran must all be fully operational. 1 life that will be saved is worth every Dollar. Blunt the enemy's capability, then destroy them. We are not there - YET

The Lubavitcher rebbe said it for years. As long as gentiles are in our land it won't work for anyone.

i do not speak of revenge or pardons,oblivion is the only revenge and forgiveness only so avenging one equals their enemy pardoning him shown superior to him,the true way of revenge against an enemy is not fact him because revenge is the most tasty delicacy seasoned in hell where people who wants revenge keeps open wounds and who come after the victory is unworthy of defeat,men and when they come from the crimes they have committed are never so dangerous and the cruelest revenge is the contempt of all possible revenge

What makes you think that the ersatz "Palestinians" have even the remotest interest in peaceful co-existence with Israel? They have rejected three opportunities for a two-state solution, most recently one which would have awarded them 95% of the West Bank and East Jerusalem as a capital. They rejected it in favor of starting the second intifada. They don't want to live peacefully in mutual benefit with Israel; they want to supplant Israel. Moreover, is it necessary to point out to you that there are consequences to losing wars? And consequences to engaging in seven decades of unremitting terror? Weren't the ersatz "Palestinians" given autonomy in most parts of the West Bank? Following which, we saw a rash of suicide bombers coming into Israel from the West Bank. Didn't Israel withdraw from Gaza? Following which, we saw suicide bombers coming into Israel from Gaza, and missiles and mortars started to fly into Israel almost non-stop. You are delusional if you think that the ersatz "Palestinians" are even remotely interested in peace.

very simple.we must admit they want us dead, who are we kidding.
