to destroy ALL tunnels on the Egyptian border by carpet bombing and repeat it once a week, so they cannot be restored any more

The cat is out of the bag! These Gaza trash will be at you night and day from now on until they are methodically hunted down. The last few days are a fundamental turning point. There is no going back to the tit for tat game.

Israel knows that Hanniyeh is in a bunker under Al-Shifa hospital. And Hanniyeh knows he is very safe there.

... is a legitimate target. And let's have no nonsense about "freedom fighters." Freedom fighters do not target schoolchildren and innocent civilians. Even were the terrorist scum in Gaza capable of attacking Israel's infrastructure, they disdain that. Infrastructure are things. Terrorists like great big piles of dead bodies. That's what gets them off. Sick sons of bitches, really. Best to take them out of the gene pool. Look at how they've indoctrinated pre-schoolers and kindergarten children in Gaza. They pride themselves on creating successive generations of rabid terrorists. Kill them all -- they are something considerably short of human.

Gaza needs to be taken and annexed--period. Israel has already tried disengaging at the behest of that idiot Sharon...and, you see where that got Israel?! Conceding land for peace is a farce; only claiming, rightfully so, the land promised, in the Abrahamic Covenant is the answer! Anything other than that, God will not condone or bless. Israel is in this mess because they never drove-out their enemies' like God told them to; they (Ismael and Esau) have been that proverbial thorn in the side ever since! Israel needs to quit playing these games, and start wiping these animals out, once-and-for-all! Israel will have peace, once their secular society repents and returns to the God...of their father Abraham! God bless, Israel! Christian Zionist

How many innocent children have you killed so far??

DEATH TO ALL THOSE IRANIANS THAT SAID DEATH TO ISRAEL AND DEATH TO AMERICA, THE DAY WILL COME WHEN THEY WILL BE ANHILATED FROM THIS WORLD BY ATOMIC BOMBS RAING ON THEM.

Personally, I am all for obliterating Gaza from the air. But you are probably correct. Some more softening up .... and then the tanks. There is no going back. I can only hope that Israel does what is necessary, and takes back Gaza. Egypt -- that staunch defender of Hamas and the other terrorist denizens of Gaza -- can take in the Gazans.

DEAR JAKE SHALOM EGYPT IS NOT INTERESTED IN GAZA, IN 1956 THEY WERE HELD IN GAZA AND WERNT ABLE TO GO INTO PROPER EGYPT, I WAS IN THE LAND OF ISRAEL AT THAT TIME FOR 2 1/2 YEARS. THE PALESTINIANS HAVE ALLWAYS BEEN A BURDEN TO THE WORLD FOR AGES. BUT JAKE WE SHOULD NEVER HAVE COME OUT OF GAZA IN THE FIRST PLACE, BEST THING KEEP THEM AT BAY, AND THE SAME IN SINAI. GOD BLESS YOU JAKE AND ALL YOUR FAMILY, AND NOT FORGETTING ISRAEL AND, THE I.D.F. AMEN AMEN

how many innocent children has hamas and other terrorists put in harms way? trained to wear suicide belts? Jews seek to avoid civilian casualties, arabs throw out candy when they are successful at causing civilian casualties. i don't blame you for being anonymous. you don't want to advertise your ignorance

More Palestinians have been killed in Gaza yesterday, than Israelis killed by rockets fired from Gaza in the past three years.

.....weapons against Palestinian civilians.

Far less than the number that the allies have killed in Afghanistan in the last hour. We average over 2 combatants per civilian - the allies on a really good day average 10 civilians per combatant. In Kosovo NATO managed over 1,000 civilians without a single combatant.

....Israel's killing of civilians by comparing civilian deaths elsewhere? As if that's a justification.

I suggest you remove TB # 13.

bombing Gaza is not gonna fly. one day u gonna regret this by virtue of mega terror on YOUR COUNTRY SOIL.Only ground operation with tactical surgical elimination of targets will do the trick. otherwise u gonna be bombing yourself soon. Plus just tell the Brave Egyptian Lion Morsi to invite Gaza as part of Egypt . Lets see what they say

I thought Haniyeh was supposed to be "in hiding and Israel didn't know where he was which is why they couldn't take him out" and was going to suggest just sending a surveillance drone to follow the Egyptian PM's motorcade to find out where he met Haniyeh but then they appeared together IN PUBLIC and didn't seem to even bother trying to hide their location... am I missing something here?

Where are such "reports" from? Cite your sources. They likely have no credibility.

How Many Aborigines Has your penial colony citizens MURDERED??????????????????

How stupid can you people be. Don't you realize that Netenyahu and Lieberman can be legitimate targets too?

If every terrorist is a legitimate target, then every Israeli is a legitimate target...

This is what is known as Zionist propaganda...

You can't handle the truth? Its painful to be exposed for the criminals that you people really are...

Yes Jeff, you are missing something here...Israel has become a Mighty Mouse with chicken legs...

by the IDF, a civilian death to target ratio of 1:50 is absolutely amazing! We have already shared IAF pilot videos with the UN and major countries showing high-value weapons right next to schools and the operation aborted because we saw kids come out and play there. Most likely, these were the missiles that were fired to Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Ever wonder why there is so much silence from the world despite your "civilian death count" tirade? Here's other reasons why Israel has a low death count - Iron Dome, early warning sirens, secure areas in buildings. Despite warnings by Israelis, Gazans still hanging out next to terrorists and weapons. Give them the Darwin Award.

are being used as human shields to cover the launch pads of rockets and weapons warehouses, in contravention to Intl Law and IS considered a war crime? A better question? How many innocent children has Gazan terrorists killed thus far...on both sides because of their actions?

It seems to only come from those who are virulent anti-Israel since the truth isn't working for them these days. There was however reports that phosphorous was used in rockets fired into Israel, which is a war crime.

Haniyeh is not in or near Gaza. He is most likely in Dubai.

Not an ounce of truth in your post.
