1. US+EU would like to pretend Hamas doesn't exist.
Sam ,   Canada   (01.24.14)
The US and EU would like to pressure Israel to give the PA a state but they prefer ignoring that Hamas wants to wipe Israel out. In trying to make peace with the Palestinians Israel can't ignore that Hamas and the other rejectionist groups exist.
2. Before the next conflict with Hamas ...
Johannes ,   Norway   (01.24.14)
Israel must make it abundantly clear that hiding military targets behind civilian facilities will not prevent attacks against such targets!
3. MILLION $,$$$,$$$ tunnels
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (01.24.14)
Imagine if these fools spent the millions on hospitals, schools, education, literature, music, culture, , , ,
4. Their preparations in the past were useless
Judah ,   Golan Heights,ISRAEL   (01.24.14)
Israel just destroyed them.
5. And all that
Mira ,   Vienna   (01.24.14)
is financed by mainly the EU!
6. All Hamas offer.....
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (01.24.14)
All Hamas offer is Perpetual Conflict, Perpetual Poverty Perpetual Misery and most of all Perpetual Riches for the few And even then THATS not enough They choose to squander vital money not for the benefit of the people but to start yet another war to spill yet more blood Enough is Enough
7. Your reward for forever playin' around with Gaza
Cameron ,   USA   (01.24.14)
These rocket wars keep upping in scale with each episode.
8. #3 Imagine if the fools (EU especially) stopped funding
A ,   Belgium   (01.24.14)
Hamas AND Fatah. They might not have such an abundance of money to build rockets and tunnels and have summer camp for child terrorists.
9. Million Dollar Tunnels
EGGM ,   Petah TIkva, Israel   (01.24.14)
Each tunnel is usually about 1–2 km long, let's assume that's $1 million per km of tunnel. The subway part of the Tel Aviv Light Rail will cost about $1 billion per km of tunnel. I know that the specifications and circumstances are very different, but still, a 1000-fold difference, the terrorists must be doing something right.
10. When Will They Learn - The More Rockets They Fire...
Ron ,   Seattle USA   (01.24.14)
...at Israel, the more they will suffer in the next round. They never seem to understand that.
11. EGGM # 9
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (01.24.14)
I understand the point you want to get across to your Israeli citizens but honestly pick another example. If you do not understand the cost difference between a roughed out narrow tunnel and a modern wide subway tunnel system then please move to some backward 3rd world country. You and they will be on the same page.
12. If and when the next
arne ,   chicago usa   (01.24.14)
battle begins, Israel should drop leaflets letting the people know how and why the destruction will be played out. Also,bridges,roads, electrical facilities and the like will be destroyed. The will live in the dark.
13. Cameron # 7
Arnold ,   Montreal-Canada   (01.24.14)
The next all out war with Hamas will be responsible for two occurrences a. Major destruction of Israeli infrastructure. b. Total destruction of Gaza.
