1. Retaliation
Abu Zibby ,   Haifa, IL   (01.21.14)
Let's bomb some empy chicken coops on fallow land - that'll show them!
2. we ll see...
Naomi ,   Tel Aviv   (01.21.14)
Hope you really mean it Bibi! We need to hit strong this time until the end, until they get on their knees. No going back this time Peace can't be made that way. The whole Palestinians mentality must change in order to get peace here. Words don't mean anything. Only a deep change in education and mentality
3. Too little ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.21.14)
.... too late. "Fearing a strong Israeli response, Hamas has taken fresh steps to calm the situation, setting up roadblocks in an effort to prevent members of other militant Palestinian groups such as Islamic Jihad from launching rockets." Yeah, yeah, yeah. A nice public hanging of Islamic Jihad members and some others would be more convincing. Unless and until, Hamas had better learn to duck.
4. Arabs will never learn
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (01.21.14)
5. and Kerry still wants a "Palestine"
nadav ,   tlv   (01.21.14)
why and how does Kerry think he can create an independent palestine when: 1) Abbas is a dictator like Mubarek that no longer has the popular mandate to rule through democratic means! 2) the PA doesn't even control half of the ersatz palestinian population since Hamas controls Gaza 3) the region does NOT need another failed, arab, terrorist ,failed state like Syria, Lebanon, Sudan, Jordan and Iraq. We half enough of the fake countries the European imperialists created in 1919, we don't need anymore!
6. There should be no credence given
DT ,   TA Israel   (01.21.14)
to any PM who just talks which is the case of Netanyahu. Irna as well musts knw he is one big bluff
7. The Arabs will never learn, now will they?
robert   (01.21.14)
8. Gaza rockets
Dik ,   Spijkenisse   (01.21.14)
are unacceptable and Israel should do what is has to do; protect her inhabitants. Shalom from Holland
9. Stand tall, Maccabees!
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (01.21.14)
Retaliate hard and strong and give a nice PAYBACK to those cowardly Hamas DOGS. AM YISRAEL CHAI!
10. Message to HAMAS
World traveler   (01.21.14)
We all know you all just want Israel to give you that ticket to "paradise" —as your beliefs state, it is a guarantee when one dies a martyr. Therefore please make it easy for yourselves and all—make known your plans for all to know. Allah will be proud of you upon your entrance to paradise. Allah will also be happy that Israel made this possible.
11. Pathetic!!
IESKY ,   KY Israel   (01.21.14)
"We foil terrorist attacks when we identify that they are in the making, and we respond against those who attack us" Bibi, I'm one of your greatest supporters, but this is truly a pathetic statement! Why wait till they are in the making? You should preempt and destroy the infrastructure so that they cannot get to be "in the making"! Retaliating after the event is far too late!! In any case, only targeted assassinations work!
12. Teaching a lesson!
Popoff ,   Russia   (01.21.14)
Well, what about taking the enemy's tactics : hit from drones every object thought approptiarte at the time of choosing? Hamas would not like it at all.
13. Blood lust!
USA   (01.21.14)
14. Teaching a lesson
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (01.21.14)
Times have changed much. Teach Hamas a lesson? I think it will be the Zionist usurper regime that will be taught a really harsh lesson. Nasty surprises coming!
15. Really?
John ,   USA   (01.21.14)
Israel repeatedly breaks the cease fire then claims "defense" when Palestinian groups fire their meager rockets at Israel in response to Israels repeated attacks on Gaza...and then Bibi - and so many commentors here claim that it's Hamas who needs to learn the lesson? The world is watching you oh Israel. Many no longer believe your false narratives. Another operation "cast lead" will simply be another nail in the coffin you are building for yourselves.
16. Overwhelming force needed !!!
Don Rosenberg ,   PALATINE,IL   (01.21.14)
To punish these animals. Any rockets are an act of war.detroy the enemy with great force to make them suffer and cut of water and powe.r
17. #5 Nadav
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (01.21.14)
Your points 1&2 are fine but be careful with your last one, Nadav.. ...our would-be detractors will claim that Eretz Yisrael is a product of that very same European Imperialism. Notwithstanding, the case for re-establishing a homeland for the Jews was far more compelling than carving up Kurdistan.
18. All you need is love
Yechiel Christ   (01.21.14)
Why don't you show some love for the terrorists and enforce the blockade better. I bet even when rockets were being fired the same day supplies were being driven into Gaza. Tough love is needed for Hamas. Rewarding terror gets more terror from these murderers.
19. Its ok to supply Hamas?
Yechiel Christ   (01.21.14)
Why doesn't Israel "teach a lesson" by not giving supplies to Gaza for a week after every rocket attack?
20. HasNetanyahu's popularity fallen in the opinion polls?
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (01.21.14)
Appears Israeli Prime Ministers of all political hues attack gaza and kill a couple of thousand civilians when this happens.
21. #16 Exactly what Assad has done
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (01.21.14)
and he has been warned that he is committing war crimes. Israeli politicians are cowards, and the one thing we have learned since Cast Lead is they will do anything to avoid The Hague
22. To: No. 19
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.21.14)
A week? How about permanently? Let them eat rocket parts.
23. Is Hamas trying to show off to Canada?
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.21.14)
What chutzpah!!! We must make the Canadian PM feel 110% safe on his visit here. Not to mention our own citizens. Destroy Hamas!!!
24. The only way we'll achieve peace with our enemies...
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.21.14)
...is to make them beg for it. Because we've played with them in the past, they think its a game. Its past the time to change that game. The idea of living peacefully hasn't even crossed their minds yet. Make an example of Hamas and company.
25. herzog says bibi has no guts
alexi   (01.21.14)
bibi has no guts- i t is true- he is a scared rabbit. To fight, to say no to obama, bibi lacks guts. But herzog is a scared coward, weak to the bone. To make concessions to the pals so another 3 thousand israelis can be killed or maimed. To have to beg the US to help poor israel?? forget about it. Herzog loolks like a weaklilng, talks like a weakling, walks like a weakling. he is a bloody weaklling and there would be no israel if herzog were relied on to defend it . What a pathetic coward, like olmert, like livni, like peretz, like gal on, likeyechaimovtich, like tommy lapid, like german, l ike gal lapid, the whole pack of dzimmis
26. Would be nice if King Bibi the Weak would just shut up and
A ,   Belgium   (01.21.14)
do what he alwyas threatens to do for a change.
27. You go BIBI!!
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (01.21.14)
Let's send some more loonies to paradise. Gaza is over populated anyway. Let's see how Kerry wants to make peace with these idiots who can even run a grocery store let alone a country.
28. The weight of the Booboo's words is light
Jhan   (01.21.14)
We've heard these meaningless warnings over and over again signifying nothing, except perhaps a few empty buildings targeted.
29. # 14
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.21.14)
I think your funny and pathetic at the same time. Can't you learn to sing another song? You need to think about that because you are predictable and boring.
30. To #11 -IESKY
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (01.21.14)
Fine post of #11 - your question is valid and tragically hopeless - the 1967 & 1973 wars heroism and enterprise is gone forever. I personally asked the then P.M. Rabin as to why don't we act like in the 6 day war ?! His response was: "I do not have this kind of men anymore"...
