Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (07.05.14)
THE JEWISH, ISRAELI PEOPLE HAVE SUFFERED MORE THAN ENOUGH! Get all those/these criminal "islam"-"pals"/Bedouins/Arabs, DEAD OR ALIVE. When/if alive straight to islands in the middle/centre of the 3 Oceans. Middle-East is/= Israel, Israel is/= Middle-East. MAY G.D BLESS THE JEWISH, ISRAELI PEOPLE, ZIONISM, JUDAISM AND ISRAEL (, too)!
6. More empty threats
Tomi Weiss ,   Israel/Serbia   (07.05.14)
Day and night, Islamic terrorists are terrorizing the people of israel and we only hear empty threats which scares no one anymore.Put an end to Hamas in Gaza or resign, (Netanyahu and Gantz)

Weakness is not appreciated - this is the Middle East!
8. Stop taking!!!

Actions speak by them self
9. what is this-halutz all over again
george   (07.05.14)
halutz as all know was a total failure as chief of staff wth h is vague goals, overconfidence, and lack of appreciation of the land factor. Olmert and halutz along with peretz buggered up the hezbollah war as the US gave israel plenty of room. Olmert's unbelievable concessions only whetted the appetite for more arab attacks. Diskin was part of olmert's team. Now he says we should offer olmert concessions and that the current situation is because we didn't offer concessions. Guess what-israel was far worse off when olmert and diskin were in charge. Now bibi is weak and iit is clear for all to see.Gantz should not be talking calm but enacting plans to suppress riots etc in a smart way.And bibi should not be surprised by what is going on. He shoujld have anticipated it and put it down, keep the press out, arrest all rock throwers, and begin removal o f citizenship of those harming the state and dump them elsewhere. Instead he offers that he is surprised. He is a dunce and has little direct israeli conviction. One thing for sure--diskin is full of malarkey, a useless shin bet if there ever was one.
10. Had the Arabs been Haredim they would've responded full forc
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.05.14)
Time to stop those empty threats and start responding like you do for Haredim. All these leaders (Olmert, Barak, Bibi, Gantz, etc etc etc ) do is threaten. Which sane person still believes them?
11. just do it already
CJK   (07.05.14)
they will not stop on their own. so do something that will deter them.
12. general yaalon-take charge
milson   (07.05.14)
yaalon- take charge and beat down this staged arab revolt over the controversial death of the arab boy whose cause is not yet determined. Bibi is passive and chicken so ignore him. He doesn't know what he is doing. I nver heard a chief of staff talks as if he is olmert or bibi. You direct the geneerals to take action as gantz's heart is not in it. I don't kniow if you realize the jewish and arab worlds are watching. The jews look at bibi's pathetic response as he looks like the coward olmert. The arabs look at israel as a feeble weak state whose taking is ripe for trhem. Even if there are many casualites- put down these riots and take action on the gaza front. Bibi is a bloody disaster.
13. This time Israel means it
Maggidon ,   USA   (07.05.14)
Yeah, that's it! Israel means it this time. If these big bad terrorist don't lay off, they'll be shooting hot rappie pies out of potato guns at them there terrorist. You can tell Israel is serious this time! :-D
14. Contrary to my best prophecies no BDS, ICC, NATO or UNSC '67
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.05.14)
15. Impotent response.
SD ,   Ashqelon   (07.06.14)
So they gave them a what, 24 hour one-sided ceasefire to see if Hamas stops? Hamas did not stop. And now they're saying we need to wait more? I suppose we in the south are mere meatshields, tax paying second class citizens if our safety is so unimportant.
16. "If you're going to shoot, shoot; don't talk"
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.06.14)
17. IDF warning to Hamas
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.06.14)
It's a new ballgame now. The Hamas Liberation Fighters no longer are easily scared of IDF warnings and threats. They are better organized and they have hardened fighters in neighboring lands to back them up. Also, soon Hamas will have rockets with electronic guidance. Liberation of all Palestine is not far away now.
18. Why bother drafting chareidim to the army
Golda Meir ,   TheRock   (07.06.14)
If you have no intention of ever going to war? Not only are we impotent physically but you want to make us spiritually impotent too. This country is on self destruct mode because it is being run by ppl who because of their sins dont have the courage to fight.
19. 17
yonatan Allon ,   adelaide/Israel   (07.06.14)
You are forever the fool.Israel can level Gaza in hours if it wanted to.
