Ben ,   Free world   (06.19.12)
Israel must let loose massive missile barrages every time missiles are fired into Israel. These animals only understand war. It's time they pay a huge price.
2. Israel of no deterrence
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.19.12)
A Defense Ministry source said that "a wide range of retaliatory actions are under review and Benji and Barak were waiting on the boss Obama in Washington for a green light to target empty fields and vacant Hamas training camps. We think the president is on the golf course and we are not able to get a hold of him so we sit on our hands and heads and wait for permission, the 2 quislings said said.

America likes to think its in control of Israel. It isn't. When stuff gets real we do what we have to do to survive whether the White Preschool likes it or not. Americans don't understand anything about us or what we do.

observer ,   Egypt   (06.19.12)
5. Arrow anti rocket system????
johnny ,   norway   (06.19.12)
IDF must turn them off after last round.. too expansive..
6. Proper response
Fredrik T ,   Sweden   (06.19.12)
Perhaps someone higher up can finallly decide to repsond with something else than bombrun's on empty chicken houses, open fields and similar 'high value' targets. Go after the leaderships, either in Islamic Jihad or Hamas or whatever they call themselves. You can do it, go get them!!!
7. Sure. Give them the entire Yehuda & Shomron & you'll see
(06.19.12)
what Tel Aviv will look like in a day. That's what happens when the 3 Bees (as in sting) Leftists; Bibi, Barak & Beinish are running the state.
8. Here They Go Again.
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (06.20.12)
What did we gain by pulling out of Gaza? Give up? Answer: Zip.
9. #4 - Fool
Devorah   (06.20.12)
Shut up, will you? Your posts are idiotic.
10. Targeting empty fields won't stop the
Reuven   (06.20.12)
rocket attacks. And why does Barak need Obama's permission for us to defend ourselves?
11. no 4
LION OF JUDAH   (06.20.12)
Do not cry and shout to the whole world when the IDF will hit you hard. Be men!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. barak's response
milson   (06.20.12)
when barak says he is convening a meeting to prepare a host of responses what he has in mind is: 1) hitting empty buildings 2) injuring 3 hamas lightly 3) talking to tantawi to try to arrange a ceasefire. israel is doomed unless barak is replaced by yaalon.
13. And Barak sits on his mountain and contemplates
Ralph Haglund ,   Sweden   (06.20.12)
how little he can do this time and still keep his status and top salary. Why has not a massive attack already been done? How many weapons storages does IDF know about? They usually hit one or two, hit ALL for God's sake! all the tunnels they know of even if it hurts the economy of Hamas. As an exercise, then maybe Ahmadinejad starts to believe that Israel can if they want.
14. 2 Reuven...the naive...
nomis101 ,   Israel   (06.20.12)
Barak..the most decorated Israeli soldier.(Only God Knows 4 What...) plays the Piano at this Hour...You expect 2 fucking much from this Sisi...
15. I see the Palies try and blame the IDF
arlene   (06.20.12)
for the two young casulties...nothing surprising there. Casulties in Gaza will only happen if they keep sending rockets into civilian populations in Israel. Barak and Bibi have to take off the kid gloves, So those that fire the qassams are to blame for anyone casulties in Gaza. No rockets, none get hurt.
16. To No. 2
Brett ,   Florida   (06.20.12)
Great point. I get it. We all get it. Obummer IS a muslim, Bibi is cowardly and Ehud is the dope who offered arafart everything, including half of Jersalem, making him a dumbass. Israel has only one leader, and He never slumbers or sleeps. The U.S. is already damned with this evil person who sits in the white house and wants Israel to give back all the land it won in the 1967 war. Israel has God, we here, have judgement.
17. Ahem, where is this "Iron Dome" we keep hearing about?
Jake ,   USA   (06.20.12)
18. Hamas is feeling strong with MB Egypt at its back.
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.20.12)
You can bet your bottom dollar (or shekel) that this is just the start of the next Arab-Israeli War. Egypt is drooling to become the new home of the next Caliphate 'with Jerusalem as its seat of power'. Yes, remember the days when people spoke of 'greater Israel?' Well, 'greater Egypt' is only a few rocket attacks away. Recall that Egypt has a huge military with almost all the latest AMERICAN weaponry. Israel will be hard pressed to defend itself. There will be no talking with Mursi- he already considers himself the new Saladin. Israel had better let the scum in Gaza know that a terrible price will be paid every time rockets cross the border. Anything else invites more frequent and stronger attacks from the Gaza-Egypt alliance. Bibi and Barak, don't go down in history as the two soldier-statesmen that were at the helm when Israel took its worst beating. The best defense is a strong offense. Do your jobs.
19. When will it end? Why can't we just destroy Hamas?
David ,   Israel   (06.20.12)
What other country would put up with this and allow it to continue, days/months/years ?
20. You started this escalation!
OJ ,   Lebanon   (06.20.12)
It is the IDF who are terrorists, this is retaliation for what happened on the Egypt border. Again. But, like the last time, Gaza had nothing to do with it. But your cowardly army must drop bombs on Gaza from the sky instead of go to Egypt. Hm, will Ynet post this? Nah, probably not.
21. To No. 16
John Faulkner ,   Nashville, USA   (06.20.12)
Amen to everything you said, Brett.
22. #17 Jake
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.20.12)
Iron Dome needs time to target an incoming missile, it doesn't work against mortar rounds of rockets fired from short range, it doesn't have time to lock on to the target You have already cleared your throat, you may now expectorate
23. Gaza is like a can of sardines
BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (06.20.12)
Time to open the can with Cast Lead #2
24. Barak+Bibi fear international community more than own people
Sam ,   Canada   (06.20.12)
So, they engage in tit for tat to appease the outside world rather than putting a quick end to Palestinian fire.
25. #17 Iron Dome
Vlad   (06.20.12)
The Iron Dome is programmed only to intercept rockets heading towards cities and towns deeper in the Negev. These border guards were patrolling in a relatively open area on the border, and the communities shelled were also on the border. First off, the Iron Dome does not intercept mortar shells. Secondly, when the range is so close, the rocket does not travel and climb sufficiently far enough for the Iron Dome to lock on and fire. The Iron Dome is good for protecting most of the Negev and its cities, but the border communities on the edge are outside its protection.
26. Provocation
Ed ,   USA   (06.20.12)
The rockets are likely aimed at provoking Israel into actions that will cement Egyptian support for the Brotherhood/Hamas and cause a war. If Israel finds itself at war with an Egypt ruled by the Brotherhood, that may be just the time to push the population out of Gaza and into the Sinai.
27. curious coincidence
tom ,   toronto, canada   (06.20.12)
isn't it strange that gaza escalates at exactly the same time that iran is under international pressure to stop its nuclear programme? the mullahs need to create a diversion, and they're using their pawns in gaza to create one.
28. Judging by World's reaction Qassams are
leo ,   usa   (06.20.12)
not considered weapons. Israel needs to establish Qassam building conveyor and fire back at latest established rate of one Jew for 1000+ Arabs, that is 1000+ rockets back into Gaza for every rocket sent from Gaza.
29. rocket attack or war?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (06.20.12)
let me know which is it.
30. catherine ashton
joemoer ,   israel   (06.20.12)
the whole world is waiting to hear what the "Baroness Ashton of Upholland" is going to say about this ....i am sure she will criticize israel for making her pali friends waste their rockets
