1. Keep firing until the philadelphi strip is retaken
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.19.12)
2. Alls Quiet on the Northern Front
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.19.12)
US TV shows the aftermth of anIsraeli attack, emphasizing that there have been 300 targets to date. Hmm. NATO flew 30,000 sorties against Libya, so Israel has a long way to go before equalling NATO. 2 violations (major) by Hamas: hiding rockets in mosques and houses, and using children as shields. Both have worked in the past, with no criticism. This time, Israel prepared for the tactic better. 600 rockets aimed at civilians in Israel...and the media only shows Pales hits. Says a lot. But nothing new. Where is Hez, Iran, Egypt, Turkey,Jordan, Syria, the Sudan? I dont hear you.Says something too.
3. Some truce ?
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (11.19.12)
This is why a truce will not work until Hamas is brought to its knees and comes begging without any conditions. That will only happen if Israel increases the bombing and inflicts more damage on Hamas.
4. Israel should have no terms for a
Barney ,   USA   (11.19.12)
ceasefire except mission accomplished. maybe Israel's new policy should be daily rockets on gaza and let those people run for shelters. no power, no water, no food from Israel. they have egypt and all of the generous giving caring arab nations to rely on
5. Arrest the Protestor for Public Disorder
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.19.12)
A Muslim women inNYC screams itis an unfairfight..Israel vs the Pales.Maybe she doesnt get it. Hamas/Hez are surrogates of Iran, the more theatening culprit. Hamas has been boasting since Cast Iron. They are now reeling,cowards...hiding behind their womenfolk and children.A bumch of wimps, who cannot govern wio foreign assistance.They say Israels blockade is hurting their economy. soooo,where the money to get those weapons,or are they gifts? The Stripwas tobepartofan Arab state in48. They rejected it and launched wars against Israel and lost. Now, they blame Israel for everything.while rich Arabs gamble in Las Vegas, Reno and Calif. Their brethren bombed WTC, are spreading the Caliphate and Sharia, and they blame us.To Israel: , search and "end" them, once and for all. Millions of Jews, and Christians are willing to aid. Just request.
6. Five More Years of bombing Gaza to Avenge Shalit
Ahmad Cohen ,   Ibn Mousa HaLevy   (11.19.12)
Now is the time to avenge Shalit's kidnapping and capture. Stupid HAMAS keeps firing at our cities and delegitimizing itself. USA is extremely happy to share the success of Iron Dome. Our casualties are minor while we are totally destroying Gaza infrastructure,. assassinating the terrorist leadership. HAMAS has weaponized the Geneva Convention by imbedding arms factories and storage depots inside civilian buildings. They are fabricating highly exagerated reports of civilian casualties. Why change anything. Let's keep this up. No need to risk ground troops. Let the people of Gaza learn what Israeli citizens have suffered for years.
7. Another Important Point is the Arab Humiliation
Ahmad Cohen ,   Ibn Mousa HaLevy   (11.19.12)
67 was a major humiliation for Nasser. The last visit of Israel to Gaza in Operation Cast Lead after the kidnap of Shalit destroyed much of Gaza. 3 Weeks later Hezbollah repeated the mistake kidnapping Goldvasser and Regev and enjoyed devastation beyond their belief. They are afraid now to get involved. Syria is also afraid and trying to contain errant fire. The Arabs always try to twist the truth to make it look like they won. So they will keep trying and failing to cause any serious harm to Israel while they absorb enormous humiliating losses. It doesn't get any better than this.
8. All Jews must go into the shelters!
Ehud Barak ,   Western Al-Quds   (11.19.12)
Except the ones I'm going to sacrifice. Arabs, don't worry, as always, I will never hurt you only do some pinprick pinpoint target fake-o ops. I love you dear Arabs, Uncle Ehud
9. I am going to do a really strong response
Ehud Barak ,   Western Al-Quds   (11.19.12)
But not now, now I'm tired. OK, all Jews get into your shelters, I need this war to be over soon because I am not going to hurt any Arab civilians. I am certainly not going to definitively win a war by aerial power, because I love peace - I am a man of peace. Dear Arabs, don't worry I won't hurt you I love you so much, Love, Uncle Ehud
10. bombings in Israel
Molly ,   Sheridan, Wy   (11.19.12)
Leave tolerance at the museum, go to war to win, make G-d proud
11. Instead Of Waiting For The Rockets To Stop...
Ron ,   Seattle USA   (11.19.12)
wait until there's no one left to negotiate with.
12. It's Coming!
Robert ,   New Jersey, USA   (11.19.12)
What? Obama's demand that Israel only use proportional force when the inevitable invasion of Gaza takes place. Then, Hamas broadcasts images of bloody Palestinian kids (human shields planted next to launching sites) so these barbarians hopes for blood are fulfilled in their cynical propaganda war. Then Obama and the UN will demand an immediate cease fire, blaming Israel for 'unprovoked' aggression. He will agree with Hamas' precondition that the blockade around Gaza be lifted. Get ready, Israel, it's coming and it will be a level of pressure you have never heretofore felt. Obama needs to stop you so his Muslim Brotherhood friends in Gaza can re-arm. History repeats!
13. Ceasefire = Hamas regroups, rearms, rejoices and comes to
me ,   here   (11.19.12)
take Israeli in its rear later when Israel chooses to strike Iran.
14. 2#, things are not 'all quiet" on the Northern front
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (11.19.12)
Syrians and rebels are fighting within meters of our border. "Stray bullets and mortars" have hit the Israeli side. Israel responded today and killed 3 Syrian soldiers. War in the North could begin at anytime.
15. Israels thinking still not fixed
nathan rai ,   bangalore   (11.19.12)
Im reading papers on how Israeli missiles bombed "families" and "women and children". Like families and women and children were targetted... Telling the world that any Jihadi who hides his missiles under a home, under or next to families and women and children is responsible for those civilian deaths , tell the world that loudly, continously, consistently is more useful that telling the world that Israel is going to bomb Gaza back to the stone age... Let Hezbollah hear it too... Dont you guys ever learn ?
16. Israel must be running out of civilian targets by now.
Eli   (11.19.12)
They can't ht the freedom fighters, so any target will do - butchers.
17. #14, you are correct.
Israeli ,   Haifa   (11.19.12)
This is why there was the go ahead to call up as much as 75,000 troops. Can any one say "multi-front war?"
18. Time for Palestinians to beg Hamas to stop endagering them
Jeff N ,   Boston, U.S.   (11.19.12)
When the Palestinian people demand that Hamas stop using their families as human shields stop rocketing their Israeli neighbors, only then will their lives improve and have peace. Given the chance, Israel would be happy to live side by side in peace in a 2 state solution.
19. Hamas fires from amongst their civilians,they store missiles
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (11.19.12)
amongst their civilians,they make explosives at home with their children.They bleat about their honour because they have none,firing from homes schools at Israeli homes and schools When the obvious and predictable results occur,they use them as props for the unbelievably pliant media,if they do not have casualties they use Pallywood.
20. #16 Hamas Military heads hide under women's skirts
Israeli ,   Haifa   (11.19.12)
And in babies cribs. It is HAMAS that targets OUR women and children. Funny how hypocritical Hamas supporters are. It doesn't work any more. Sorry. No international sympathy for you any more. They now know you lie. Look how Haniyeh runs screaming like a little girl and goes and hides! Boo hoo.
21. ceasefire
Joe Charlaff ,   Jerusalem   (11.19.12)
We should not be initiating a ceasefire with Hamas. That shows weakness on our part. Its Hamas who should be wanting a ceasefire and clearly they are not yet ready for it. They need to be smashed completely.
22. #17 there won't be any war with Hezbollah
(11.19.12)
For the simple reason that Iran is now on its knees due to the international sanctions. Lebanon is weakened by Iran and Syria and has no interest to get involved in a war with Israel. Haifa is going to stay quiet
23. Hope for those in the south
Tzvi ,   Miami US.   (11.19.12)
Please listen to the song called had Gadya by chava alberstien it is Sooooooo appropriate for the situation israel finds itself in now. Ask Ynet to post it.I think many wold relate with it. You can find it on You Tube.
24. #21, WE are not initiating cease fire, they are.
Israeli ,   Haifa   (11.19.12)
They are exhausted, beaten and running scared. They can't take any more. It is THEY who are calling for a cease fire.
25. Saving thr murderous enemies who strike at your children
Ben Ze'ev ,   Parksville,B.C.   (11.20.12)
Over 1100 Why have we not seen a minimum of 2200 terrorsists killed??This is not Jewish hymanitarianism it is Jewish suicide.
