1. The response must be twofold:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.24.12)
1) Allow for as many people as necessary to move south and settle in the villages and towns of southern Israel 2) Smash the heads of the snakes
2. MOVE!
avi ,   netanya   (10.24.12)
3. Very cogent
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.24.12)
The citizens of our country living under these trying circumstances have put up with more than enough. It is time we thought of them and their children. There seems to be plenty of money for other items - like the formerly proposed new cars and salary rises for members of the Knesset for instance.
4. Don't worry
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (10.24.12)
People of the South, don't worry! It isn't as bad as you make it out to be! The people who gave Hamas the rockets, Livni,Olmert, Peretz, Barak, Peres all have reinforced concrete shelters well-stocked with food, wine and WiFi.
5. Enough
Wise Saba ,   Ma'agalim   (10.24.12)
The government doesn't care that half a million Israelis are under fire & living in bomb shelters. I'm sitting 9kms (5 1/2 miles) from Gaza.
6. Easy for you to say, Avi
Michal ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.24.12)
Would YOU want to buy someone's house in the rocket zone? Many have left, and I'm sure more would if they could. But who can afford to buy a new house in a new (more expensive) city (because really, what cities would be cheaper than those within rocket range?) without selling their current house first? And anyway, is that the answer? To just abandon ship? I'm not saying our innocent civilians need to be on the front lines. The answer needs to be a STRONG DETERRING RESPONSE by our army! These hits on individual rocket launching sites clearly aren't cutting it.
7. Wimpy reaction to rocket attacks
RAYS ,   USA   (10.24.12)
Bibi's feenle resp;onses to attacks from Gaza causes more attacks. wKilling a few terrorists will do no good. What will STOP the attacks is to respond by destroying infrastructure.Knock out petrol stations for one attack ; blow up electric power plants for a second.
8. #2. Great! But where to? Poland?
Noa   (10.24.12)
9. Attacks on Israel
max ,   washington dc   (10.24.12)
In any other Country rockets and missiles fired on it's towns and citizens would be an act of war. Israel has become a banana republic unable to defend it's people from the barbarians.
10. We Israeli people are not solidar...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (10.24.12)
We don t do anything about it.... as long we can have our cottage cheese.
11. Missile attacks
Rhonda ,   Chicago, usa   (10.24.12)
Yea, but Obama visited Sderot, a point he was sure to say during the debate Monday night...(I'm being sarcastic). I'm so sorry for your situation. And especially that the children are so terrorized. All I can say is that I talk about you all the time here in chicago in making the case for Israel and her defensive needs.
12. Time for Massive Artillery Barages In Response
David ,   Montpelier USA   (10.24.12)
IDF airstrikes are not enough. If you want to persuade Hamas to stop it, hit them with massive artillery barrages. Do it now before the US election so that the US would have to veto any stupid UN action.
13. SHAME!
les ,   canada   (10.24.12)
i can not believe the people of israel putting up with this. what ever happened to NEVER AGAIN? THOSE BARBARIANS WANT TO KILL US ALL
14. Corrupt Diversion
Zivron   (10.24.12)
The Protectsia people keep money that ought be designed for strong g shelters south and army engineers ought help the people build shelters especially The Haredim who will have a permission for safer study
15. Our leaders are cowards
Jay Abouaf ,   jaffa Israel   (10.24.12)
And dont understand the Middle East
16. Israeli Leaders Betray Jews
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (10.24.12)
The only way peace has ever been achieved is through TOTAL DEFEAT of the enemy. Israel, defeat your genocidal barbaric enemies now!
17. rockets fired from the south
arne ,   chicago usa   (10.24.12)
to the north can also be fired from the north to the south. why israel doesn't reply in kind is something I don't understand.for every rocket received, i'd send back ten fold, not to an empty field from where they came but to an inhabited area.I would think hamas after screaming like hell would get the "message". I would drop leaflets in advance forewarning the residents of what will happen and why.
18. rockets
yaakov ,   miami,jerusalem   (10.24.12)
barak is an arab ass kisser and an enemy of the people. if his penthouse was hit he would get off his atheistic ass and stop the hamas nazis once and for all
19. abandament
hershel ,   jerusalem   (10.24.12)
Israel has abandid Southern Israel along with Judea&samaria as for as protecting Jews along time ago. Lets hope in the next elections Jews will vote normally.For Ben-Ari or at least Katzalee.Since Baruch Marzel ran Jews in Israel have refused to vote in a normal way..wnen Jews don,t feel responsible for one another its sad.
20. Jimmy Carter
Rhonda ,   Chicago, usa   (10.24.12)
And no pearls of wisdom from Jimmy Carter following all these missile attacks, Jewish children in southern Israel unable to attend school? He doesn't have anything to say about Israel being an impediment to peace during this rain of terrorist driven missile attack?
21. What's the problem I don't understand
Billy Billionaire ,   Ra`anana   (10.25.12)
Whenever I feel discouraged I just go on a holiday abroad or order in a 5 course meal, so I don't understand why these little people are whining again. After all we have a Defence Minister and all is firmly under control, so what is the problem?
22. # 20...If you look back a week, you will see
Edithann ,   USA   (10.25.12)
it was in retaliation for Israel killing 2 Palestinians..Israel never seems to remember those incidents..but Palestinian families remember them ....Those rockets were justified...what Israel does isn't justified!! ... But I guess the lying must be kept up for Israeli's to remain adamant about what they've done and continue to do to the Palestinians... It's to keep Israeli racism and hatred at fevor pitich...and it always works..even to the mindless in Chicago! Isn't it convenient that all the Palestinians killed are always terrorists?.....Israel doesn't have any terrorists...even those settlers who vandalize PA homes and lands and kill PA's aren't terrorists... You need help Rhonda...serious help.. TATA.
23. # 20 Did you have anything to say about
ben   (10.25.12)
Iman Al Hams attending school
24. The Right of The People
The Prophetess ,   FL, USA   (10.25.12)
"A well regulated Militia being necessary to the Security of a Free State; the Right of The People to Bear Arms shall not be infringed." Dear Israelis, time is long overdue for you to adopt this tenet of the US Constitution Bill of Rights and demand of your government, the Right to defend your lives and the lives of your children. G-d Bless Israel.
25. # 23....Did that get to you Ben? Why?
Edithann ,   USA   (10.25.12)
the soldier who shot her said she had it coming... Iman Darweesh Al Hams, was a 13-year-old Palestinian girl killed by Israel Defense Forces fire near a military observation post in a "no-man's" zone near the Philadelphi Route on 5 October 2004, in Rafah in the Gaza Strip. She was on her way to school...but wild uncivilized Israeli's thought it would be fun to kill her...and get away with it..and they did! TATA
