1. IAF bombs several targets in the strip
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.24.13)
A deserted building and an empty field.
2. Go for hamasss apartments...
Beary White ,   Norway   (12.24.13)
nomatter of they are home or away.. Hamasss are politically in charge and must suffer...
3. Delicate situation, but need a represals.
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.24.13)
I think Israel should go back to target "killing" to settle scors, and not derail peace talks.
4. Not a detterent
Memphis Slim ,   memphis, TN - USA   (12.24.13)
Israel used to have a policy of taking 10 terrorist lives for the life of 1 Israeli. This was a concrete deterrent. Bombing buildings is nothing - and I mean nothing. Hamas is laughing at Israel for such a weak policy. Israel took out Sheik Yassim and that shut the Hamas leadership up real quick.
5. is it 3 or 4?
Adrian Kartzala ,   Romania   (12.24.13)
so what is the age of that boy? is 3 or is it 4? that kinda show how reliable are the palestinian reports. Shalom
6. Costs
John ,   Herzliya   (12.24.13)
It would be good to compare costs of the operations on both sides: Palestinian approx 100 USD for a tube and some explosives and Israeli approx 100 000 USD (airplane, rocket..). Does it make sense? Not to me...
7. Yeah, yeah, yeah
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.24.13)
Ever notice how every report of casualties in Gaza always manages to include a toddler or an infant? So, I have a question. Since Israel only targets known terrorist bases and launch sites, why do these despicable terrorist thugs hide behind children? Somebody should give Navi Pillay a call. It's time the United Nations did something about the Arab despicable practice of using little children as human shields. The days of Israel refraining from destroying known terrorist sites because of the presence of children are over. The onus shall fall squarely on the shoulders of the terrorists. A terrorist launch site or base is a legitimate military target, and putting a whole kindergarten in front of the target does not change its validity as a legitimate military target. The Arab terrorists would do well to take heed.
8. NATO enters Gaza & transfers ForeignArabs to Mecca for Peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.24.13)
9. Not enough
GrimReaper   (12.24.13)
Identify the perpetrators and destroy their homes and then snuff out their pathetic lives. This is deterrence.
10. Shalit traded terros are now calling the shots
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.13)
11. Provocations
Israel   (12.24.13)
Israel has been provoking for a while already. When Palestinians fight back then Israel blows out of proportion
12. Retaliation
James ,   US   (12.24.13)
Does anyone really think peace talks will work?
13. We ouight to stop talking about giving these people more...
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (12.24.13)
... land beyond what we have given them up to now. Each time we give them, or even talk about giving them, i.e. lowering our guards even further, we pay for it with dead and injured. And, we, Jews, also have the very first right: the right to life and life's defense. Enough!! Never Again!!
14. Must bomb what's important
arne ,   chicago usa   (12.24.13)
to Hamas--and do it on a regular basis. This tit for tat does not seem to work.Israel must target their top guy's.
15. rocket and bomb gaza leadership to hell
salim   (12.24.13)
16. 7.Ibelieve they take children who have died from illness or
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.13)
accidents (say car accident) and alter the body in such a way as to make it seem that it has been killed in an Israeli raid. What proper autopsy is carried out .Just a claim that the child has been killed by Israelis There are far too many stories for this to be true I am sure in a community where the vast majority of the population is under say 15,it cannot be too difficult to find suitable bodies
17. Indiscriminate civiliam bombing
War Crimes   (12.24.13)
18. Regretably the Shalit deal released MANY killers
(12.24.13)
who are now directing operations against Israel and Egypt
19. Guess there will now be weeks of rockets on Sderot&environs
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.13)
20. Attack
New Yorker ,   U.S.A.   (12.24.13)
IDF should target any person in Gaza who appears to be armed, target funerals of terrorists attended by their armed buddies. Destroy entire residential blocks where known leaders and their "innocent" families are known to live.
21. To No. !5
New Yorker ,   U.S.A.   (12.24.13)
No, sending Gaza leadership to hell will not solve the problem. Gaza's "innocent" population will produce a new plethora of such leaders. It does not mean though that these leaders should not be killed. But it's not enough. Gaza should be turned into an utter hell for everybody there. IDF should kill on site anyone armed. The IDF should return and practice denazification/deislamization in brutally enforceable ways. And if that does not create civilized order and peace after a few years - transfer the hostile population out of the territory (learn from the Europeans of the ways how it could be done).
22. To: Adrian at No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.24.13)
Supposedly, it was a girl. You are right, however -- there always seems to be a toddler, or an infant, or a boy picking flowers for his mother, or trying to catch a bird .... it's always something. One does wonder why a little girl should be present at a terrorist base, unless she is being used as a human shield by the terrorists -- in which case, where is the hue and cry from the international community protesting against the dastardly practice of Arab terrorists in Gaza to use human shields?
23. #11 - Israel
Ariel Rudolph ,   Modi'in   (12.24.13)
You need to pull your head out of your arse and breathe for a change. Your thoughts will remain pretty shitty until you do so!!!
24. To: Alan at No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.24.13)
No, they don't go to that much trouble. As we found out during the last spat, they take photographs of children killed in the civil unrest in Syria, and pass them off as children who died in Gaza. No depth too low for Gaza terrorists!
25. to17
Louis Feldman ,   Brentwood   (12.24.13)
But targeting buses is all right is it. Unless you mean the Palestinians are perpetrating war crimes.
26. Arab terrorists have lousy short-term memories.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (12.24.13)
For Arab terrorists,hostility starts from the first shot that the IDF fires in self-defence.They airbrush out their own aggression that started the hostilities. Doubletalk,doubletalk and more doubletalk. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
27. Jus askin..Did Khalif of West give permission for response?
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.13)
28. Indiscriminate civilian rocketing
Arab War Criminals   (12.24.13)
29. The solution to the conflict is very easy
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.24.13)
Israel needs to expel all Arabs from Judea, Samaria and Gaza and annex the territories. That way, Israel has an overwhelming Jewish demographic majority between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea and Israel will no doubt have defensible borders within our ancient and historical homeland, to which we have historical rights based on 4000 years of Jewish history and to which we have legal rights, based on the San Remo treaty and the Anglo-American treaty. Sovereign and independent states are allowed to expel foreigners and non-citizens and Israel is no exception to the rule. It applies to all independent and sovereign states - including Israel. It's absolutely moral and legal to expel the Arabs - unless of course some people believe Arab terrorism, demographic warfare and theft of Jewish land to be "moral". In the same way as the colonial European powers used a small fraction of their countrymen to colonize India, Africa, Australia, North and South America, the Arab world uses the Arab squatters and newcomers - aka "Palestinians" to conquer the native Jewish people's homeland called Israel. The main difference is that the Europeans did not pretend that they were native - they explicitly stated that they are foreign to the conquered nations, while the Arabs and the Moslems have the chutzpah of claiming that 50-100 years of "Arab" history makes them "native" to Israel while 4000 years of Jewish history in Israel "doesn't exist". Europeans have stolen lands - Arabs steal lands, histories and even identities.
