geroge   (04.18.13)
haniyeh and zohar, ehud barak is no longer defense minister who liked to hit empty fields or was afraid of egypt. Yaalon will plan his attack when he is ready. and you will pay for your criminality big time.
2. I wonder how many rockets
Mike Lumish ,   Oakland, USA   (04.18.13)
the United States would allow to be shot at its people and onto its land? How many rockets would China or Russia put up with, I wonder?
3. No is the right time..
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.18.13)
..to hit back. The pals have proclaimed a "state to be". No is the time to show agressive defence,- a state cannot fire rockets without retaliations. IDF, pls send two rockets into two hamasss apartments, as an answer to not do it anomore :-)
4. Gaza terrorists
Get Real ,   UK   (04.19.13)
Time Israel started launching sporadic military responses to Gaza terrorist attacks. New DM, tough talker, so let's see some tough re-action.
5. Still happy Israel ceded Gaza?
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.19.13)
One can still find videos of idiotic Israeli politicians telling us of all the wonderful benefits Israel would enjoy once we left Gaza... Guess what? Israel's Gaza retreat was, and is, a total disaster just like all Israeli retreats. Israel pays and pays and pays forever for idiotic retreats.
6. 2 rockets hit open area
Froi   (04.19.13)
Hey mighty IDF why don't you retaliate using cheap rockets for a change? Save your weapons for the big push when your govt finally decide to drive Hamas out of Gaza just like what you did to the PLO in Lebanon.
7. No more time for talk...
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA, USA   (04.19.13)
Teach them a lesson as the nazis and Japanese were taught. Only then will Israel realize the peace it hopes for. I'm an American and know all too well that hope and change are just slogans. Treat an enemy like an enemy...
8. Boston v/s sderot
shevet menashee ,   sderot   (04.19.13)
boston bombing makes headlines of world newspapers....what about Sderot, always bombarded by hamas? It does make senses, coz we are Jews, whome the world hates....
9. one more..
les ,   canada   (04.19.13)
"we'll not tolerate" statement, and we won't have to worry about hamas or hizbo. The'll going to laugh them selves to death...:))
10. Israel must act for every rocket
the mad zionist ,   San Francisco   (04.19.13)
there's a reason they keep firing rockets, and that's because they know 9 times out of 10 Israel won't lift a finger. Israel must do what the Palestinians do, announce publicly thru all western media that rockets are being fired from gaza, and do it everytime rockets hit. and when you do it, you let the world know that not only is Israel going to react, but that you won't hesitate initiating a campaign to get rid of Hamas and all radical elements once and for all. but if Israel just sits there and doesn't make a squeak about the rockets being fired, then don't be surprised when half of the world thinks you're attacking Hamas for no reason. I have no doubt in my mind that Iran is calling for them to do this. anything to keep attention away from their nuclear program, but it does not mean Israel should not protect every centimeter of their land and people. there's a reason people are starting to think Israel is weak, and this one of the major ones. give a reason to Hamas to not even allow one Rocket to be aimed at Israel. and I know that Israel needs to keep their fights limited to be able to deal with Iran. but Israel should not allow their citizens to be terrorized like this. and maybe threaten publicly thru the media that If one more rocket lands in Israel, then Israel is retaking gaza. Israel has got to make this loud and clear. this is so freaking sad. I didn't think Netanyahu would run the same type of scheme olmert allowed. I mean seriously, what's so different between olmerts government and Netanyahus? absolutely nothing in terms of security.
11. The rockets will never end

12. To #s 3, 7, 10
Israeli ,   Haifa   (04.19.13)
You don't know what Hamas operatives are trying to do: they WANT us to fire back. This will allow them the right to complain to the MEDIA that Israeli aggressors are attacking their women and children. And, the MEDIA will back them. THAT'S why we don't go running to the media every time we are hit. The media is about as anti-Israel as you can get.
13. #12 you are right
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (04.19.13)
The problem is that Israeli leaders are stupid. Either they do nothing or they attack with no effect. Instead our reaction to rocket attacks should be to build 1000s of Jewish housing units.
14. Try to retaliate
Mira ,   Vienna   (04.19.13)
when ErDOGan is around!
15. BBCs John Donnison
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.19.13)
Last night the BBCs John Donnison was allocated the SAME AIR TIME AS THE BOSTON BOMBINGS! in the Main BBC Evening Radio News to report from Gaza about........20 Gaza Runners refused permission by Israel to run in the West Bank!...This after last weeks Hamas indiscriminate rocket attacks from Gaza into Israel which by the way went unreported by the same John Donnison of the same Radio Evening News Station! And any sound from John Donnison about last nights rocket attacks into Israel from Gaza this morning? Resounding SILENCE Anything on the BBC Website either?...Three guesses! An Italian Reporter who was based in Gaza recently gave us an insight into John Donnisons behaviour 'When you are based inside Gaza YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT to report bad things about Israel otherwise you are expelled and can lose your job. And reporting anything good happening between Israel and the PA is a complete no no' Get the picture? Sad because wed come to expect much better things from John Donnison...
16. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.13)
Since when does media reaction trump Israel's security concerns? Pound Gaza. It is time that they learned that Israel does not issue free passes merely because missiles fired from Gaza -- or for that matter, the Sinai -- land harmlessly in empty fields. I assure you that were a missile to be fired from Canada into a Minnesota soybean field, the United States would charge across the border in a heartbeat. Why should Israel act any differently against a real threat, not merely a hypotehtical one? The international media be damned. Invite them to come and live in Sderot or the Eshkol region for a while. I'm betting they'll respond with a resounding "no." If the international community doesn't like Israel's response, toss a few missiles across THEIR borders. See how they like it.
17. #16 We also expect better things from
Get Real ,   UK   (04.19.13)
the BBC, like giving time to reports from their Israeli based reporters. Even AL-J broadcast the events.
18. Rockets
Steve Gure USA ,   Coconut Creek USA   (04.19.13)
ReaLISTICLY IT SHOWS THAT THE pILLAR OF DEFENSE accomplished nothing.
