ralph   (06.28.14)
tax them extra or hold back taxes collected on their behalf. they must pay for their actions.
2. obviously we did not hit them hard enough. we should not ho
ralph   (06.28.14)
hold back. no one hand tied behind back. hit them hard harder and harder. 10 times as much. as we have so far
3. How pitiful it is...
yosef, phd ,   florida - israel   (06.28.14)
to watch one of the finest armed forces in the world just React to endless provocations from a bunch of cowardly hoodlums. What is this useless Israeli government waiting for ?
4. Go for hamass apartments, not launchers!!
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.28.14)
As long as there are terrorists to operate the launchers, the Islamic-cult-followers terrorists will never stop... Take out apartments , as per rocket that hits Israel.
5. The youth will have to suffer due to weakness
Jhan   (06.29.14)
The elites' refusal to bomb `Aza to bits means the young people of Israel will once again have to be maimed and killed. The elites` decision to deliberately lose the 2006 Hizbollah/Lebanon war shows their disinclination to protect Israel, something which has only gotten worse since then.
6. As a father of an IDF in the armoured division...my heart
Al   (06.29.14)
missed a beat reading this latest bleep. i'm worried and I don't pretend to hide it. God Bless our soldiers and commanders. The IDF is the only force that can protect the Jews of Israel.
7. stop listening to obama and the europeans
C   (06.29.14)
what is needed is total war.
8. Attn IDF: They are asking for more, so please give them more
Kolboynik ,   Baltimore, MD   (06.29.14)
9. Enough is ENOUGH !!!
Itiel ,   Israel   (06.29.14)
In a one of the pictures under the heading ‘From Around the Web’ in this page we can see one American cop pommeling on the ground a civilian, who being already badly hurt is incapable of any counterdefense. Every year hundreds of innocent civilians (and their dogs, literally) are mercilessly killed by cops in America for no reason whatsoever. Every year America kills hundreds – sometimes thousands – of innocent civilians in different parts of the world as part of their playing the bad cowboy of the world. And America would condemn us for justifiably exterminating several thousand of TERRORISTS who only live to try and annihilate us all in Israel?!! Europe, on the other hand, is an active SUPPORTER and COLLABORATOR of the Palestinian terrorists because they deeply lament that they cannot persecute and kill us as before, and they are using these filthy Muslim beings to attack us by proxy. So why should we pay any attention to them?!! But the problem is not America and the Europeans, no. It is our government!!! Whose interest are they truly watching after? Certainly it is not mine, my kids and grandkids. Just wars are those waged for the defense of an attacked nation! And the military objective of war is TOTAL VICTORY, and victory which is achieved at the cost of KILLING all the enemies until they declare themselves DEFEATED. If a government does not wage a just war to total victory BETRAYS the needs and expectations of the public the politicians are to serve; and if they do not have the virile fortitude to achieve the needed victory, they should step down otherwise they are to be counted as TRAITORS. So, what is it going to be?
10. #6:
Israeli 2   (06.29.14)
Your heart should skip a beat....because only G-d can and will protect your son and Tzahal.
11. Hasan Bajrić
Deborah   (06.29.14)
Hasan I am very sorry that the Iraqi people are suffering so much! I also feel for the people of Iran, Syria, Egypt, etc. Their leaders & the terrorists are the problem, not the people. I see on your Facebook page a picture of a rainbow. God made the rainbow as a sign that He would never again destroy the world by flood. I urge you to please read the Bible. You can be grafted into the promises to Israel if you believe in the God of Israel & His Messiah, & follow God's instructions. The God of Israel loves you too Hasan. Shalom!
12. 6 Al: Call on the Names of Elohim to protect your son.
Rivkah   (06.29.14)
Your son should call on the Names, too. Proverbs 30:4,5 says Elohim has a Name and Elohim has a Son who has a Name. That is the greatest wisdom of King Solomon, to know that. The names are Yahovah and Yahoshua. Yahovah means look at the nail in the palm twice. Yahoshua means salvation. Isaiah chapters 65 and 66 says Elohim will not protect swine eaters or those who eat unclean foods, so your son must take care about what he eats to get the protection Daniel and his three friends in Scriptures had. A godly mother of three sons who were in the US Marine Corps and US Navy as officers prayed for protection for them and her middle son could step on landmines in Viet Nam that would not explode. That is protection from Elohim on behalf of a godly mother. It is possible. Miracles still happen. That middle son is now elderly and an Episcopal Priest in Baltimore named William Morris Krulak. His brother became Commandant in the 1990's: General Charles Krulak whose miracles from Elohim in the name of Yahoshua during the first Persian Gulf War in Iraq are legendary. General Norman Schwartzkoff needed 100,000 gallons of potable water a day to go into Iraq with the US forces. He didn't have it and couldn't get it, so he asked his head of logistics, General Charles Krulak to get the water. General Krulak kneeled and asked Elohim in the name of Yahoshua His Son for the water. Within a half an hour an underground water desalinization plant was found in the desert nearby. It produced 100,000 gallons of potable (drinkable) water a day. Kneeling to Elohim and asking for your son's safety in the name of Yahoshua ha Mashiach is also what you should do.
13. 6 Al: Call Gilad Sharon since he wrote a biography of his
Rivkah   (06.29.14)
father General Ariel Sharon and ask him what his father did that was different from other youths that protected him from being killed while 23 of his early life friends died by Arab attacks. Ask him what Sharon's devotions were and his eating habits and other factors that gained Elohim's favor. Then give that information to your son, too.
14. re-establish Jewish community in Gaza
shira ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.29.14)
It is time to rid ourselves of ALL the arabs in Gaza and re-establish Jewish communities throughout Gaza, and not be concerned about world opinion. The world does not care about us!
15. The only choice is complete annihilation...
Jake Stone ,   USA   (06.29.14)
...of these godless savages. They're like a cancer, if you don't excise it all, it will keep coming back. First: stop this nonsense of land for peace; ALL the land belongs to Israel--enough said! Israel needs to send every Arab to other Muslim countries; and, stop playing the stupid, senseless game of political correctness, where lies (the Palestinian canard) are accepted as truth. Call a-spade-a-spade! God bless Israel and His Jerusalem!!! A Christian Zionist
16. just more tit for tat a comin'
Cameron ,   USA   (06.29.14)
If a no. of "rocket wars" and Israeli towns and cities under bombardment can't prompt forces to roll into Gaza, then 3 captives will hardly serve as a real goad either. Anyone care to lay down a wager with me on this scenario and outcome?
17. RIGHT # 2 Israel the IDF needs hit them harder RIGHT ???
M.S ,   mpls america   (06.29.14)
I like what you are saying # 2 I know war is bad EVEN MUCH bader when Jews Israelis do it according to the UN EU most world public opinion polls but enough is enough when factorys are hit ny missles set ablaze burn to the ground it is time to hit them at least a little harder I do no not approve of Genocide no not even against the Arabs as a 70 year old Jew born in 1944 at the height of the W W II Hallocaust against us poor Jews I appreciate that any One 111 sided racist attacks are no not signs of character show no honorable traits show only simple minded lucky advantages I realize still even further Israel has to be careful about UN EU world opinion we walk the fine line EVERY DAY America the U K France supposedly our only true friends are quite criticial enough of all Israeli military policy actions reactions but still I think we can PUSH OUR LUCK like Moses did at the RED SEA RIGHT ??? there is room in July 2014 no less to do so to PUSH OUR LUCK LIKE MOSES DID so on and so hit back harder as for a ground attack also too into the Gaza area we did that it did no not hurt them permanently a year later they are BACK EVEN STRONGER THAN BEFORE RIGHT ??? and so because Arabs are good at hiding blending in they probably have a NATURAL CAMOFLAUGE ECO SYSTEM being they are after all ARABS RIGHT ??? but still I think you are RIGHT hit them Ten 10 times harder the Israeli air force reactioniary strikes seem to hardly dent stop the missile attacks much less hurt their own Hamas so on interstructure look at Iraq the Levant the ISIS ISIL the Jihadist ARE ALL BACK so on and so America after the Iraq war still is faced with them Ten 10 years in Iraq no hurt them much less the timid approach Israeli leaders Israeli Generals take when dealing with Arabs in Gaza or even MUCH LESS Syria we fight like POLAND we do no not fight like a America the British the Russians Germans Japs so on and so we fight like a Poland we really hurt nobody no not really Israel needs to train learn improve so on and so fight wage war like Israelis should no not like a Poland... RIGHT ??? Thank You... M.S.
18. # 7 so true stop listening to the UN Obama the EU RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (06.29.14)
So RIGHT you are # 7 all you other talk backers who seem to agree that stronger measures are needed against Hamas other radicial Arab groups who fire missiles at Southern Israel but alas all Israeli leaders do is act like a Ghandi of India did in 1923 1933 before the post W W II movements started against imperialism and so colonialism but while they pretend they no longer exist both still exist SIMPLY IN ANOTHER FORM RIGHT ??? and so as much as ever before RIGHT ??? and so the Israeli government puppets follow orders take orders it seems from the UN the EU other pro imperialism pro colonialism peace monger systems like a Ghandi like it was 1923 33 no not really trying to take action but only taking appeasing forced to take action FORCED thus while it is called the IDF ISRAEL DEFENSE FORCES the way the Israeli puppet leaders consider that word force forced is so timid that that it actually recieves more adverse opinion than bold action would ironicially they miss that peace monger imperialists colonialists actually only respect people who stand up dare be bold take real action they ironicially do no not really trust any Ghandi like appeasers thus ironicially less action is more dangerous worse than over reaction over bold moves would be I just hope the Jewish Israeli leaders the Israeli IDF Generals start to realize this... before it is too late for us Jews Israelis... RIGHT ??? Thank you... M.S.
19. Retake Gush Katif!
(06.29.14)
That´s the least to be done by Israel!
20. Respected Prime Misiter,
Tomi Weiss ,   Israel   (06.29.14)
Sop targeting empty toilets and order finally ground invasion and full reoccupation of Gaza with cleansing it from Hamas.
21. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAM ASS WANTS
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (06.29.14)
They can't live without war. They simply will have no reason to. They will have to surrender to living if otherwise. Now, bunch of innocent people are going to die and at the end Gaza will pay a heavier price since it can't defeat Israel. How funny that Muslims fall for their dumb leaders each and every time.
22. Retaliation for 2 dead?
James ,   USA   (06.29.14)
Gee, what will they do with 80,000 dead and 240,000 wounded with 6000 missing. It gets harder without water, electric, sewage, food and hospitals. Will they beg to the UN, EU, Arabs or perhaps the US and the Soviet Union to please stop. Does Egypt have any interest in negotiating a cease fire or have they had enough? Will Turkey come to their aid with Hezbollah in tow? Stay tuned for part two 'do the leaders of Israel have the guts to put an end to this'? In this special mini series, part three focuses on 'Abbas goes in hiding'.
23. Weak Politicians = Weak Country
Dan ,   USA   (06.29.14)
Once again Israel will win the battles and then it's politicians will sue for peace as soon as Obama, the UN or EU all Jew haters, individually or collectively, say to do so. And one year from now will have to do it all over again.
24. "possible Gaza offensive"
Cameron ,   USA   (06.29.14)
Yeah, right. Just the usual air & maybe some artillery thrown in routine.
25. time to take gaza
alsky ,   Toronto   (06.29.14)
there are no easy answers especially since its best to deal with the devil you know. The Arabs will beat their chests as usual but most infidels will understand (except Europeans and self hating Jews) Praying for the safety off all those protecting Israel.
26. If Israel
Israeli 2   (06.29.14)
repeats its previous attack by going in with an Obama or European maestro leading the concert, I pray for the IDF brothers and sisters that they will not go in. Even Lieberman spoke like a far leftist coward. This is war! Flatten them completely. Everyone who is in their path.
27. What is wrong with the Israeli
Barney ,   USA   (06.29.14)
Leadership? Let loose a barrage that they will understand . No country in the world would accept what Israel does. Even more confounding is they have he power to deal a devastating blow. Do you think they love us if we don't or do you think they believe we are slaves to world opinion?if someone fired at my home with a rifle and I had an assault weapon they would never know what hit them
28. Plase not again ... unless
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (06.29.14)
there is a solid rock game plan to go in, clean house and go out leaving a badly beaten up Palestinian terror infrastructure. If not STAY OUT of Gaza. It will be a quagmire of death and world outrage.
29. Each of us has to feel responsible..
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.29.14)
for the safety of the IDF soldiers[ and not relying like Al ,ONLY on the IDF] EACH and EVERY Jew can contribute to build a protective fence for the safety of our IDF soldiers and Israel's victory with G-D's help,by striving for the complete unity of all Jewish communities , concretely by refraining from "lashon hara" . Learn from history : UNITED we STAND
30. Gaza apartment blocks
Dror ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.29.14)
The stores of missiles and rockets are still buried under hospitals, mosques, residential apartment blocks, and residential homes... When those missile cache`s go off, you better have hundreds of body bags ready.. Poor dumb bastards, they never learn, and they never will.
