The PM threatens Hamas, Iran. Bombs empty building and naked fields. He has became a bad joke. So has Israel. What other country trades 1000 terrorists for one prisoner. What tiny village would accept year in ,year out rocket attacks. Bibi never makes a substantial move against Israel's enemies. How about a new town in Judea or Samaria for each terror attack? A dozen new houses for every rock thrown.? Oh no!! Obama or the EU will be upset. Sad and disgusting feeble behavior.

If needed. What will it take this coward to man up? Israel is being shelled by rockets and it's citizens are being kidnapped and killed and all Bibi can seem to do is release more terrorists.

Netanyahu, this will be the greatest act for the memory of the three teenagers. Writing a peace agreement with Palestinians will be the greatest thing you will have ever made in your entire life.

hamas and its terror brothers are sworn to the destruction of Israel. while bibi and his security cabinet play hamlet, the terrorists are preparing for war. the americans and the europeans can afford to remain apathetic to the terror threats facing them, israel lives in their midst. there are always good reasons to do nothing, such as fear of isis, fear of world opinion, fear of the lunatic left, but ultimately if decisions are not taken, israel will end up like iraq.

This is absurd. Arrest the hamas.. they sit for a few years.. the arabs kidnap a soldier.. they are out.. to kill more jews.. then back in .. for a few years. and then out.. listen how about putting our government clerks out of their misery of writing all of this up.. a quick/clean execution of these killers.. like would happen in any other normal country.. will save the paperwork

Those two words unfortunately reveal Israel's prime minister's true intent which adds up to zero. Totally pathetic!

If Israel does not destroy Hamas now be prepared for more of this. It's time the IDF be given to green light to deal with terrorists as only they can.

This is diplomatic language for saying not to punish Hamas harshly. This is all wrong. Hamas must be punished severely not for revenge but so that they will never even dream of doing something like this again G-d forbid.

to be rocketed while we bury our dead is without excuse if there is not the HEAVIEST response

what does bombing open areas and structures mean? Pathetic!

It's your first post I haven't heard you say it;s Obama's fault I have been telling you all along Bibi is weaker than a spider web. He has been pounding his bird chest about Iran for years while blaming Obama and doing absolutely nothing. Rockets have been pounding his cities for years, while you and he blame Obama. Now the rockets intensify and Israeli' "children" are murdered and Bibi "lawyers" up. I have to admit he would make a great prosecutor for the American judicial system " IF NEEDED", In plain English what Bibi is saying is that he will hunt them down to the end of time and might launch a few missiles, however there will be no major strike on Gaza just a few buildings targeted and a few bombs dropped in open areas. Now Bibi shows strength doesn't he? I want to see your honest response.

and a harsh respond they will get upi; see in the following days not only by the goverment and the millitary but from the public as well. our people are thirsty for revenge and only the kipped families can stop it(not that its gonna happen)

Bibi stop threatening. If you can not save Israel from savages,just resign.

When faced with high tension situations the human being resorts to 3 types of response. These are call "Fight or Flight" Your leaders can be looked at through these eyes.. 1) Turn, Bare teeth and fight 2) Turn, Flee and Hide 3) Roll over (as a dog bares its belly) and submit. Which type of leaders do you think are in the cabinet? Is this what you want? Have they served and protected the people? Will you rally to force the cabinet to give you what you expect?

any given day and twice on Shabbat if you catch my drift. They got 3 innocent kids at gun point and now we will get WB. How stupid was that? Yes, we have bled for the land and we may still will.

what the hell do they get to know, once there, that makes us disrespect them so much afterwards? (Remember: "Bogie will save Us") Are there some sinister secrets revealed, that only our elected cliques know, that prevents Israel from reacting like any other, sane country would?! I wish they'd tell us.

bibi is getting close to olmert, livni, lapid and herzog in his gutlessness. What pm says yes to every order from obama even when it is wrong??!! OBama now says don't react with a heavy hand/ Of course livni lapid peres and bibi jump to attention and say yes sir. How about this- mind your own fn business. US has no lessons to teach anyone as their vaunted army trained the iraqis to run away at the first sign of trouble. 65 years after the holocause, bibi has the nerve to act as a yellow dog, betraying the dead> Yes calm reaction is OK. BUt yaalon should set a plan and wait if necesssary and then savage the hamas and elements of fatah, savagee them.

What consideration is Yaalon talking about? Israel has been attacked relentlessly by Gaza-Hamas with rocket bombs. Yaalon wants to ponder about the response? If he can't defend the nation because he fears war, he may not be the right Defense Minister. Israel needs a strong and younger Defense Minister..

The first rule of a government is to protect it's people. In this regard Bibi has been a complete failure. He is the Obama of the mideast.

No one can give any reason not to build more Jewish homes. It will be a very effective and severe punishment. What does it mean that Netanyahu refuses to do the one step that is guaranteed to save Jewish lives?

Even Stalin gave Austria back to the Allies although he lied about Poland .Stalin Ruthless cruel and Toward the end possibly murdered or at least left to die without medical care knew the Limits of Power .During WW2he allowed Religion and called the War for Mother Russia.

since 2006, israel has been shown to have inferior leadership. Propaganda aside, nasrollah is far superior to livni olmert, halutz and peretz and now bibi. Olmert was a disaster but he was not a combat soldier. Bibi claimed to be one but other than getting shot, he did nothing noteworthy. He runs around talking eloquently but his threats are worthless, the latest one being we'll take action as needed. Think what hamas thinks- israel is weak, lets grab some more jews. Also noteworthy is gantz who says that the army weeps for the 3 boys. The people expect the army not to weep but to be direct in grabbing the guilty and busting heads. Instead we have a morose emotional chief of staff. It is so evident that the jews are getting horrible leadership. and the media doesn't help. You want your country or n ot. get rid of bibi livni and lapid and bring in bennett, shamir or feiglin and now. Bibi is a disaster who brought this on israel because he released prisoners cause he was too gutless to tell kerry no. I am sick of the lot of these weakllings.

This should be the main direction for our response..... Smash the Hamas, destroy the Hamas.... Let them fear any sound around them....

It is time, Bibi! It even says it in the Torah. "thou shalt remove them from thine midst, them their asses and all that is theirs..for they shall be like a thorn in your side." They are sub- human. They kill each other. Tibi, Zoobi, Abbas, Sadaam, Bashar, etc. are all same. We lived with them in Iraq for 2,500 years. We saw how they tortured & murdered the Jews. We lived through pogroms & incitement vs Jews since Islam began.. 850,000 Jews had to flee for their lives from Iraq, Yemen, Morocco,Syria,Lebanon, Sudan etc. These evil-doers cannot change. Their families celebrate their martyrs as "heroes" & praise them & pay them. It is time to take serious action or this will never end.

After years of facing terror Israeli government behaves like each rocket or murder is something completely new and unexpected. It is well known that deterrence produced by the law is in its predictable application of it and, hopefully, unavoidability. Make absolutely clear that any damage to Israel property will be paid from the Palestinian tax funds within one month not just delayed. Any shelling of the civil population without damage will lead to destroying of actual Hamas/PLO properties including their houses. Please, no more plowing empty fields with smart bombs – it is too expensive and make sure to charge cost of flights and ammunition during those actions to Palestinian funds. They want it – they should pay. Any murder committed by the member of terror organization should be followed not only by perpetrators hunt to the end of the earth, but also by elimination of the members of the top organization echelon at the rate they set - 1 to 1000. Just kidding 1:10 is sufficient. Any kidnapping should lead to increase of arrested people and NEVER to decrease of arrested number. Publish your decision and stick to it. Only complete understanding that terror is contra productive can stop it.
