61. REJOICE NOT WHEN YOUR ENEMY...
JL ,   galos   (11.19.12)
HAS FALLEN, AND LET NOT YOUR HEART BE GLAD WHEN HE STUMBLES ... Proverbs 24:17. Peace be upon both sides of the border.
62. #44 and 48-Mike's idiotic comments
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ USA   (11.19.12)
There are 4 possible explanations for your inane comments: 1. Your letters were a satire on the endless Hamas lies and propaganda. If this is the case, I apologize for calling you an idiot. 2. You are amazingly ignorant about history or just plain stupid. None of your statements are true. if this is the case, then you really are an idiot and don't realize that people who don't know what they're talking about should just be quiet. 3. You are nuts. Delusional people mistake their delusions for reality and are very messed up. 4. You are just an antisemitic bigot who will saay anything negative about Israel that comes to you addled mind.

Civilians were never targeted in this way? Have you even read about what has happened in Syria in the last year? Almost 40,000 people have been murdered mainly by their own army. Syrian children have been tortured to death by their own government. The Israeli airforce dropped leaflets over places about to be bombed and warned civilians to stay away from Hamas terrorists. They had plenty of time to flee. Palestinians support terrorists who commit war crimes against Israeli civilians they are the ones who target civilains not the Israelis. Civilians were never targeted in this way? Where were you when Palestinian suicide bombers walked into crowded cafes, buses,hotels,schools,and blew themselves up murdering everyone around them? Of course,I think you already know this,but don't care because you support the terrorists and hate Israel,and like seeing Jews being murdered.
64. Will Israel never learn ?
Nathan Rai ,   Bangalore   (11.19.12)
I read in the papers of Israel bombing "a family" , Israel "firing at homes and killing women and children" Israel needs to tell the world repetitively and loudly that Hamas has used homes, schools and mosques for arms caches. Tell the world and now and forever, arms caches, launching pads will be destroyed, whereever they are. Period. Israel holds the jihadis and mujahids responsible for the death of non combatants and women and children under whose homes they have buried arms caches. Tell all the world now. Let Hamas and Hezbollah hear. It will be more useful that telling the world that Israel is going to bomb Gaza back to the stone age. Israel, you can do better...
65. Hamas: 'we love death as you love life.'
David ,   Hartford   (11.19.12)
So why all the belly-aching if some get an expedited send off? Hamas leaders, members, supporters, etc, are all legitimate targets. If Hamas and cronies don't want to die, stop firing rockets into Israel. If you can't manage that simple task, prepare for the end.

Your not the real SarahB,and you can be as sarcastic and obnxious as you like,but the fact remains those civilians who died today were not the target of Israelis. Israelis drop leaflets warning civilians to stay away from Hamas,and give them plenty of time to flee before the place they are staying is about to bombed. The Israelis feel bad,and apologize when enemy civilians are killed inadvertenly by IDF fire. But the Israelis are not going to put the lives of the Arab civilians above the lives of their own wives,mothers,and children.

Basically, your talkback is correct. However, the difference is the innocent Israelis who've been killed or injured by Hamas rockets over the past 7 years aren't "collateral damage." They're the actual targets of the terrorists' murderous intentions.
68. No. 45 Susie
NYC Girl   (11.19.12)
During the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein would actually coerce families who lost babies and very young children not to bury them. Rather they were convinced to keep the bodies in their freezers until such time when they would be trotted out as propaganda to show how many innocent babies had been killed by the U.S. military. Believe me, there's no limit to the depravity of some of these people.
69. Killing civilians IDF! Shame on you...
Yoav ,   Tel aviv   (11.19.12)
70. To All My Fans Over Here
Mike S. ,   Phoenix, USA   (11.19.12)
Well first I'm impressed with the high levels of tolerance you're showing. You don't look defensive at all. Second, I agree I was mistaken. I didn't know that the benchmark here when talking about Israel is the Syrian regime, militants in Darfur and probably Taliban. Keep on the good work!
71. # 13 Israel destroyed a Mosqe that dated to Saladin

73. #5, #44
Non-Jew ,   England   (11.19.12)
And 'Oops' x 10,000 times, regarding the US Army in Afganistan alone. (I don't have figures to hand for the collateral damage inflicted by the US Army in Iraq, but I know that was massive, too).
74. #17, #48
(11.19.12)
#17 Afghanistan has never attacked or threatened the US, yet Obama has butchered hundreds of innocents for no reason. Libya was a peaceful nation, yet Obama and Cameron decided to murder thousands (maybe tens of thousands) of civilians just to steal Libyan oil. On the other hand, Hamas has declared they will kill all the Jews, and tried to do it. This round of violence started when Hamas attacked an IDF patrol. Israel is acting in self-defense. #44: Israel has committed no war crimes. On the other hand, Obama's destruction of Libya, arming of Syrian terrorists, and his Afghan drone wars (especially "double tap" to murder medical staff) are all war crimes.
75. No. 74
NYC Girl   (11.19.12)
You're right about Hamas. However, the attack on the IDF patrol was more like the straw that broke the camel's back. From the time the Palestinians were handed Gaza on a silver platter 7 years, ago, Hamas has used it as a launching pad to try to kill and maim as many innocent Israeli civilians as possible.
76. same on you to kill innocent people
kaz ,   MANCHESTER UK   (11.19.12)
very shameful to kill innocent people, one day the blood of innocent people will drown israel
77. NOTHING HAS CHANGED
Tony ,   Highland, USA   (11.19.12)
Israel has used this tactic for 12 years and what has it gotten them....NOTHING. The blunt fact is that Israel has no intention of negotiating any real estate in the west bank. They need this in order for Israel to grow. This is why they will never let Palestine become a sovereign state.
