Tired of hearing the same words all the time. Always talking in Future Tense when Defense Minister should (and shall) talk in PRESENT TENSE. They say that "a stitch in time saves nine". Don't wait for this situation to continue. ACT NOW.

A few cheap rockets fired at random at Gaza, cutting supplies and empty Israeli Jails into Gaza and I bet Hamas gets religion really fast and puts a stop to rocket fire-at least for a while.

mortars and rockets from Gaza, then IDF retaliates and bombs ammo center and then this morning Gaza sends over more rockets. Apparently IDF not doing the job well enough. Hello: IDF - what is more important: Israel or world opinion?

Close the border, stop the supply with food, water and others, and if they will shout only one rocket, bomb them back into the stone age. All the phrases wont help, lets just DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

of the great martyr in israeli prison. Israel also should revange such attack with a complete closure of Gaza regardeless international pressure.

IF IT IS PROVEN/ TRUE THAT THOSE MISSILES CAME FROM GAZA FOR THE UMPTIETH TIME, THEN THAT POPULATION WHICH IS GUILTY OF THAT FACT HAVE TO SEND TO EGYPT, JORDAN/ARABIAN PENINSULA AND PAY FOR IT TOO. ISRAEL HAS A RIGHT TO THAT TERRITORY, AS TO JUDEA, SAMARIA, THE GOLAN HEIGHTS, TO THE SOUTHERN PART OF LEBANON UNTIL THE RIVER LITANY AND TO A PART OF THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA PLUS SOIL/GROUND. EVERY OTHER COUNTRY AND EVEN THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION KNOW THAT FACT IN THAT CASE.

Enough of empty words "We will". Which never happens. Tell us what are you planning to do today?

We must have a clear strategy spelled out to Hamas, the UN and the world community The difficulty with the present one is that's it almost becomes a farcical Tit for Tat..neither side wanting to escalate which leaves Hamas feeling able to maintain such constant 'testing of Israels resolve' without provoking Israel into all out war The response must be firm and clear ANY missile attack will result in a complete AUTOMATIC closure of the borders THE MOMENT any missiles are launched until such time that Hamas together with the UN guarantee a cessation of these attacks - however long it takes

Hopefully"Bogie" will give the order to scorch that pigpen soon.

This is how the Rocket Attacks were reported by the BBC this morning - NOTE: NO MENTION IN THE HEADLINE OF THE ROCKET ATTACKS THAT PROVOKED ISRAELS AIR STRIKE I urge Talkbackers to E Mail BBC to lodge their outrage Verbatim - Headline 'Israel launches air strike on Gaza Israel carries out an air strike on the Gaza Strip for the first time since an eight-day war ended in a truce last November.'

also the huffington post CNN and the AP all have the headline that Israel was the one who broke the cease fire modern day anti semitism is this unjust and libelous criticism of Israel and dont let anyone say any different

the time will be at the convenience of israel. israel has much business to take care of, but the time of hamas will come, make no mistake about it. savages cannot be allowed to pollute the neighbourhood.

May the Lord smite the BBC for their anti-semitic reporting. They have some nerve going against Gods people. For this, these Ay- Rab loving Heathens shall burn forever in the lake of fire. Evangelists for Israel!

That was the headline here on an earlier news report. If the foreign media are getting their news items from Israeli newspapers, what do you expect? What is good enough for Israeli newspapers is good enough for the world, that's all there is to it.

the timing seems so apt, obama leaves, Israel releases the withheld pal tax monies, ( not paying still for their utility bills ) opens the Gaza crossings, and Hamas rocket signals once again, 'while the boss is way the mice will play.' By Israel waiting as Hamas continues unabated and being rewarded by obama at Israel's expense he sets the stage for Israel's repeated planned failures that he cynically knows plans and plots how to orchestrate to Israel's woes. One doesn't 'play' with terrorists, one kills them dead. This I blame on obama he not only cannot be trusted if anything, the only trust in him you find is his complete hatred of Israel in favor of terrorists pals/arab/ muslims..

reported as apparently bombing empty fields with no injury or damage. Very humane. Is this a warning, like a dog that barks but dosn't bite? But why not hit the terrorists and their structures?

Exactly HOW do you plan on "eliminating " Hamas? And if you magically succeed, who will replace Hamas? The hard reality is Israel can not do anything about the rockets from Gaza. ZIP, ZERO, NADA. The Gaza weapons are spread all over and a few IAF bombing runs only kill a bunch of civilians and digs Israel deeper into the hole. to remove all weapons from Gaza would require Israel to invade with a minimum force of 200000 soldiers with a probable Israeli death rate of 2000+/month (1%) based on published US Army documents. And if Israel kills more than a few thousand Gazans, the US will be unable to protect Israel from the rest of the world. You may think you can thumb your nose at the world, but you will NOT like what happens to Israel. The ONLY path forward is to open up Gaza, quit killing Arabs and NEGOTIATE. Israel has hit the brick wall limit of military power.

"finger" to the entire real World (foremost USA) then it is no surprise, that a pisher terror organization (that's ALL of Gaza) can rub our nose in the dirt, knowing we'll tolerate it. Hell: we'll even make Oscar-nominated films about the "conflict". Something damaged the western man's DNA, that's a given....

for standing tall and defending our lives. Those who will be critical of us, of course, will deny us the very first of all human rights, i.e. the right to life and the defense of one's life., In this sense, singling out the Jewish people and denying it the very first of all human rights is a form of racism of course, anti-Jewish racism at that!!

We need peace to secure our existence, before its too late. The Arab spring tsunami will finish the Job, certainly after dictators, our turn is coming, we'll have to face the new realities. A weak government is not capable of protecting the country. Instead of working with moderate parties to make a moderate coalition and listen to Obama advice to proceed peace, Bibi chose to make a marginal, sick coalition with extremists. He just care about his position

The best way to make sure that the BBC CNBC etc. are hurt is NOT to watch them. Same with newsprint papers. Spend your time and money elsewhere, with their competition. One still votes with their feet, eyes, time, and dollars.

likewise i couldnt believe the bbc headline early this morning when i read it, however i submitted my online complaint to the bbc as to the bias of the reporting etc. Maybe a more appropriate headline woud have been....Palestinian terrorists breaks truce again firing rockets at Civilians" no surrender!!! 3 cheers for Israel

Will it ever happen that Israel will not have to worry about someone trying to kill them or their children?

I Quote Suzy Abormed, also of Sderot, said she fears the rocket attacks will intensify. "This period of calm only gave the terrorists time to replenish their weapons stockpiles. I am afraid the blow they were dealt during Operation Pillar of Defense was not strong enough. Maybe we should enter Gaza and rid it of terrorists - Take no Prisoners, and Exterminate all Militants and solve this problem once and forever !. Arn.Sweden.

Rather save the money and give it to the Haredim so they can give their people housing and the hell with those who serve their country and die for it! Now we only have ourselves to blame for reelecting Likud and thus allowing Bibi to humiliate our country!

Your plan has a slight problem. Hamas have NO intention or willingness to NEGOTIATE with ISRAEL. Their charter is to destroy the Zionist entity. So the alternatives are to 1; close your eyes and pretend these attacks are not happening or 2; meet fire with fire. Hamas show NO concern for LOSS OF LIFE of either Israeli or their own population. what would you have YOUR government do if YOUR children were targeted on their way to school by terrorists ? I seem to recall a war in Afghanistan as a result of a terrorist attack on the USA. I don't recall much negotiation with Al Quaida before that !

there can never be peace with Israels neighbours until Islamists refrom and accept Israel as the Homeland of the Jews. Islam has bloody borders-not just with Israel !

obviously, world opinion is far more important. Shame on politicians in Israel !

then you are screwed because eventually the Arabs will be able to defeat Israel, then what? Of course you will respond about how "powerful;" Israel is, totally ignoring 10,000 years of human history during which each and every "powerful" nation has been DEFEATED and humiliated. Israel can NOT win ht power game over the long term, it is too small and has too few resources. BTW - it was the US that refused toe negotiate with the Taliban, resulting in the eventual, but predictable defeat of the US.
