31. Israel Must Destroy Hamas Totally
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.15.12)
The IDF is doing Egypt a favor, which is not yet obvious. Morsis pulling the ambassador is politically correct for Egypt, but stupid. The MB has effectively negated the removal of Mubarak, and exchanged dictatorships..a secular regime albeit an autocrac y for an Islamic fascist one. Hamas, Islamic Jihad, PFLP, etc., combined with the MB's branches (also in Syria), and a gullible Turkey, perhaps Libya and Jordan next, have Israel surroundeed on allsides. Consider thebigger more lethal weapos, Fajrs, were not launched, but many destroyed. Only a fraction were shot down using Iron Dome. WShat about the Scuds (Hez), Katyushas and Shihabs held by Iran? Would the Patriots stop any of them I wonder? And, Iran will soon tip its missiloes with tactical nukes...This fight is far from over. Israel HAS TO FINISH OFF THE Hamaas threat no matter the spin-off and consternation of world opinion. The UN is a farce, a fraud and a hindrance to peace. Hopefully Obama, now that he got the Jewish gelt and vote, will consider the needs of our spiritual brethren. What would Romney do..but that is moot for now. The Arab never learns..but this time Israel ignored its violations of Geneva by hiding rockets in civilian homes, hospitals and mosques..a clever strategy which has seen its day.
32. There is a Shortage of Virgins
Nosh Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (11.15.12)
Recall fellow Zionists that the US and UN demanded a cease fire in the Strip and Lebanon, after Israel started winning (as Sheen says). Its all about winning, but also about surrendering, no more cease fires. The biggest players, Egypt, Turkey and Iran do not know what to do? Should they protect Hamas and rish all they've accomplished by fraud, deceit and manipulation of their populations? Egypt is bankrupty, and Turkey needs missiles to defend itself against Syria. Iran has yet to test the bomb..but is edging closer (they say, for peaceful medical isotopes). Does a country spend billions on missile defenses for manufacturing medical eqipment, and has tthe 3rd largest oil reser es on the planet, making its own arsenals and paying an army of over 10m ( Rev Guards, regular army, home guard)? This could be Israel's Waterloo if it backs down, or the stroming of Berlin and death of the German Reich's leadership and end of their 12 year barbarism. Unlike 73, when Israel was caught napping, this time Hamas got caught with its pants down, with no expectation that virgins were waiting for them. ( News reports reveal the virgin population is diminishing too fast).
33. #3 - you already know its the former...
William ,   Israel   (11.15.12)
but wish it was the latter. So does Hamas and Iran.
34. #13 - no need to worry about Goldstone
William ,   Israel   (11.15.12)
He found out Hamas and people internal to the UN were manipulating information so he withdrew his support for the report that bares his name.
35. #20 - sheer fiasco...and yet we continue to live
William ,   Israel   (11.15.12)
Infact, many lives have been spared the war crimes from Gaza, unlike Jabri and Co. We hold a very high price on life, while your side devalues it to mere pennies. The only fiasco it seems is happening in Gaza, where terrorists are trying to find a hiding place, and quick...possibly in Egypt.
36. #22 - and I'll count the dead terrorists in Gaza
William ,   Israel   (11.15.12)
amid the number of threats from Hamas. Let's see who reaches 100 first. Good night.
37. A-lthani/Erdogan, Achmad next!
BENNY ,   iran   (11.15.12)
These criminal supporters of Hamas, Mavi Marmara BS deserve the same fate. The axis of evil must be eliminated!
38. #26
Aaron ,   Toronto,Canada   (11.15.12)
Go read the history of egypt's last attack on Israel and think again if you still want Egypt to attack us again.and if you don't find it in your history books(which I presume you won't) then find the 1967 July issue of LIFE MAGAZINE with the shoe trail leading back to Egypt.
39. #3 Iron Dome only engages rockets if
Zvi   (11.15.12)
they are heading for areas that it is designated to protect. Iron Dome is not configured to protect most of the "open areas that have small, widely spaced populations. Thus, if a rocket drifts off course toward an unpopulated area, Iron Dome doesn't attempt to destroy it.
40. #16 It would be lovely to have peace
Zvi   (11.15.12)
but peace needs both sides to commit. Israel pulled out of Gaza, leaving behind greenhouses bought by peace groups. Hamas responded by launching rockets, and then by overthrowing the PA in Gaza and seizing absolute control, and subsequently launched over 10000 flying bombs into Israeli cities. Israel built bomb shelters for its childrens' playgrounds. Hamas built secret warehouses for Fajr rockets. Israel frequently held its fire. Hamas only held its fire when its leaders were targeted. Israel allowed Ismail Haniyeh's sister to receive medical treatment in Israel. Hamas held Gilad Shalit without Red Cross access for 5 years. There is only one side in this that wants hostilities to continue, and that is Hamas.
41. $$ for lives
Chad ,   Dallas, US   (11.15.12)
You do realize that Israel doesn't stop there at intercepting those rockets right? You might think they are trying to bleed them dry of funds, but Israel will bleed you dry of terrorists. It's like throwing rocks at a tank. It's not going to work out too well for you at all.
42. Hamas are cowards, hide behind missles which have no effect
EU   (11.15.12)
43. No Sleep or Rest for Gaza. Hopefully cut electricity and H2O
Ahmad Cohen ,   Ibn Mousa HaLevy   (11.16.12)
After the incessant rockets against Israeli citizens and cities it is time for non-stop round the clock bombing of Gaza. Wear them down. Break them down. Since they store weapons and rockets in their Mosques, destroy every Mosque in Gaza. Every Mosque. Destroy all government and public buildings and infrastructure until nothing is left intact. Show them fear just like they do constantly to the resident of Sderot to Ashkelon to Be'er Sheva. Destroy all roads and bridges. Send them back to the stone ages. Cluster bombs and daisy cutters along the smuggling border to collapse all tunnels and bury the diggers alive.
44. U.S. Citizens with you
Scott ,   Atlanta, Ga   (11.16.12)
The citizens of the U.S.A. are with you Israel. God be with us all during this most dark time in our history.
45. We are with you
Mekusapv ,   BFE, Alabama   (11.21.12)
O Israel. We hope that you are victorious and we will continue to insist to our elected representatives that you receive your help from we the people of the united states. God bless and defend Israel.
