Perhaps all Palesitinian factions are flush with new weapons quotas and financial backing. The diverse Palestinian factions met in Beirut,Lebanon with Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani and Hizbollah Hassan Nasrallah Saturday Nov.24,2012 (Gulf-Times).Larijani is also meeting Erdogan in Istanbul.

since Hamas hit no 'targets' just launched some 1500 missiles, yet Israel precision launched about the same number with all but a few hitting their target, it is Iran that should take consideration. If Hamas who is only across the border can't hit shit, but Israel can pin point its missiles, it is Iran that should consider before it sends a missile this far.

I think Bibi dit not have the choice. It's obvious that Obama forced Bibi to stop the operation, by threatening to stop delivering parts for Tsahal planes. Obama, go to hell. How can american jews still vote for him ???

tell me who has broken the ceasefire!!

Two things Israel are the terrorists according to the law (illegal occupiers) as well as according to the most recent comprehensive report on the conflict Goldstone. This is not personal If it were then Israel is the only one who has attacked Irish civillians Food convoy, and stolen Irish passports this is about a poor people who are being brutalized.

Tosser go back to your leprechauns

We need operation "Remove the Cowards." We need to get rid of bibi, barak, lieberman and their political parties. We need new people in the knesset with courage to defend Israel and not care about world opinion. We need a minister of offense, not defense. We need to bring the war and terror to the terrorists and their civilian supporters.

That is all they need: Another victory which decimates their nieghborhhoods to rubble. Another victory where they spend all their tims crying to the world: " Lokk what they are doing to us, please make them stop". Another victory where their PM and leaders hide in a bunker under a hospital. They will be sifting through the rubble in their cities for years to come, whereas in Israel, all the damage will have been repaired within 3 months, tops, and life has already returned to normal. With "victories" like this, who needs defeats?

Shortly after it went into effect but Israel did not respond.

Israel is a soverign state. Some territory is disputed but firing close to 1000 missiles at Israel does not solve the dispute. The people brutilized were Israeli civilians by terrorist Hamas funded and armed by Iran. They obviously didn't care about the Palestinians. When your Irish friends get serious about sending food to Gaza, direct it to the Ashdod Port where they'll inspect and distribute it. Keep your passports and don't bother the Israeli navy. They have more important things to do.

Netanyahu knew he couldn't "shoot his load" in Gaza and have nothing left for Iran. Get rid of that threat and by proxy Hamas is neutralized.

does anyone know why,in one of the photos above ,there is an ape dressed in a suit ,standing next to that imbisile haniyeh.My guess is ,the photo was taken during a chimpanze's tea party in the gaza wide zoo some time over the weekend.

All the more reason for Israel to Nuke Iran then Hamas will not get weapons or money

I Quote - Hamas official Mahmoud al-Zahar said Saturday that after Hamas' rain of rocket fire that reached as far as Tel Aviv and paralyzed swathes of southern Israel, "the Jews will think twice before" attacking Iran. Comment - This Individual knows nothing about Military Strategy and how an Israeli attack against Iran will look like and be conductned. Further - Occupation needs resistance, not negotiations, Abu Marzook remarks Comment - What Diplomatic Genuses, Obama and the Israeli PM are ?. Arn.Sweden.

Both of you have memories that begin AFTER the ‘Pals’ attack Israel. How many times, Salma, has Hamas broken a cease fire, Israel reponded, and Hamas complains that Israel broke the cease fire? Hence the Israeli phrase- “we cease, they fire”. And you, mufflets, forget that the arabs came centuries after the Jews. They started killing the Jews in the 1800’s, after the Jews worked the land THEY HAD BOUGHT. Hamas is sworn to kill the Jews and wipe out Israel. Israel still delivers food, fuel, etc, to Gaza. And you think the “Pals” are brutalized? You are right! But they are brutalized by Hamas. Keep your eyes tightly shut; reality would hurt too much for you to care about it.

Help me out. The Irish are one of the peoples that suffered enormously at the hands of the brutal British. Why is it you guys support the Arab allies of the British instead of the Jewish victims? And by the way, you are wrong. The illegal occupiers are the Arab colonists that the British imported.

Yes, look around the world, you all just need a reason to kill. If now jews, then non-muslims, if not them then shia-sunny difference, if not that then on the name of alkida killing and bombing your own people. Israel does not need to kill you as you all will be finished by killing your own ones...

According to current international law Israel are deemed to be illegal occupiers in parts of Palestein therefore Hamas have a perfect right to use violence to expell the illegal occupiers, at the same time Israel does not even have a right of defence (while they are illegal occupiers)

they will think twice, three times, four times, etc as we are not people that just jump and do things, but after all the thinking we will attack and be successful

You forget where you were hiding the last 8 days?

Israel is a registered country in UN and the only democratic country in whole middle east. It the palestine which is not registered. There was no such a country called palestine in the history (show me evidance). It is a blunder made by arabs to concer Israel (which will remain a dream). And your type of people does not need a reason like hamas to fight and spread bloodshed. Look all over the world, there is only one virus that exists between peace and war and that is called "muslims".

to weakness. T'is truly a pity that we choose to be humane and agreed to a cease fire . Our enemies call us the aggressor !! Who fired rockets into Sderot (the south) that ignited this mini-war ? I truly hope that when Hamas flares up next time (and am sure they will) we will pummel them into the ground and put a halt to their aggression.

Zep 2:4 For Gaza will be abandoned And Ashkelon a desolation; Ashdod will be driven out at noon And Ekron will be uprooted. Zep 2:5 Woe to the inhabitants of the seacoast, The nation of the [fn]Cherethites! The word of the LORD is against you, O Canaan, land of the Philistines; And I will destroy you So that there will be no inhabitant. Zep 2:6 So the seacoast will be pastures, With [fn]caves for shepherds and folds for flocks. Zep 2:7 And the coast will be For the remnant of the house of Judah, They will pasture on it. In the houses of Ashkelon they will lie down at evening; For the LORD their God will care for them And restore their fortune. Time for Israel to expand their Groves.

Israel Is fully capable of sending Iran back to the stone age with one lights out bomb.

is a phrase showing wishful thinking. "According to current international law" shows you have no idea what you are talking about and just repeating a convenient mantra.

Iron Dome is a great contribution to defense.but defense alone can not win a war. The troops which were kept on the ground in place was a big mistake. Israel accomplished nothing.

Glad to see that no one has disputed that Israel are the illegal occupiers in this conflict. Too many have been listening to the "free press" falsly telling them Israel are the good guys. If anyone out there would claim that Israel wants peace could they please explain the purpose on the Anexation process

Great to see Israel portrayed in the news as the good guys. This recent, senseless terror attack by Hamas did them no good. Wouldn't you agree? Now what exactly do you mean by "illegal occupiers" and "Anexation process"? More cliches and spin from your buddies on the flotilla?
