alsky ,   Toronto   (07.10.14)
Israel must finish them off. Unfortunately this will most likely require a ground invasion
2. UN to meet on hostilities . And blame
DT ,   TA Israel   (07.10.14)
Israel. Time Israel also got going on having Abbas and Hamas put before the War Crimes tribunal for human shields and indiscriminate attacks on Israel's civilian population
3. Gaza must be trembling
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.10.14)
Notice how the leaders in Gaza have made an exit leaving the hapless pals alone to face Israel's wrath? Some leaders! When Israel finishes with Gaza I hope the desolation is horrific and deadly. KEEP BUILDING AND BOMBING GAZA !!
4. This was proves ceasefire of 2012 was wrong
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis,mTN - USA   (07.10.14)
Why on earth would Israelmwant to cease fire and allow Hamas to accumulate higher grade weapons to fire at Israel a year from now? There is NO peace process, and Hamas has no legitimacy. They are a terrorist organization and they need to be utterly defeated and humiliated. Abbas? A stooge.

9. UN and Moonies
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (07.10.14)
I think that the international community has contributed much to this war. Instead of letting Israel invade and get rid of Hamas, we have to be the goodie goodies in the eyes of the UN and their a-hole communities that are nothing more than ignorant politicians.
10. So deadbeat Mashaal emerges to announce
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (07.10.14)
Last night that HE is suddenly the self appointed High and Mighty Protector of all Palestinians in Gaza, West Bank and Diaspora and is now speaking for all Palestinians - if this isn't trying to usurp power I don't know what is. As for speaking for me in the Diaspora...that's just as likely as Mashaal giving away his fortune to the people of Gaza to rebuild For all his puffed up theatrical grandstanding and chest beating and CROCODILE TEARS you cant escape the irrefutable fact Has Gaza advanced ONE IOTA economically, socially, under Hamas and Mashaal Well not advanced but declined to nothing under Hamas all because Hamas WANTED to perpetuate conflict with Israel WITH NO END so that they could milk Gaza for all its worth and keep Gazans under their boots living in perpetual misery And all the while as the toll mounts in Gaza with EVERY NEW CASUALTY and DEATH in Gaza and even MORE GAZA BLOOD stains his filthy hands...and what does he do...try to blame everyone else BUT HIMSELF
11. Sanctions due NOW!
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.10.14)
It is high time for the UN Security Council to take the lead in ordering BDS, and-yes-perhaps a physical blockade of "Israel".
12. Ban the idiot should be banned together
Golda Meir ,   TheRock   (07.10.14)
With all those other UNintelligent scumbags. To hell with all these international hypocrites. ISRAEL, finish the job! Elokei Yisrael is the only one we need on our side. Don't you dare buckle under pressure again. If you put your faith in anything other than the One and Only, u'll end up under their rule G-d forbid.
13. "Gaza is on a knife's edge"
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.10.14)
Oh my. Is that what passes for astuteness at the United Nations these days? So, Mr. Secretary General -- you don't care how many missiles fall in Israel. You don't care about Israeli civilians, but should a Gazan get killed because Hamas chooses to cache weapons and fire missiles and mortars from crowded civilian areas, well, you're right out there, aren't you, urging maximum restraint on the part of Israel, yet not a word of condemnation for the war criminals in Gaza. You're a scum-sucking maggot. Shut the f**k up, and stay that way. The Gaza operation will end when Israel decides to end it. Not before. And, I gotta tell you -- we're a long way away from that. Just keep hiding under your bed and give thanks to whatever faux deity you worship that Israel isn't going all out. Because if we did -- there'd be nothing left in Gaza, and no one left there to do anything about it. Tell me; were the North Koreans to decide to start raining missiles and mortars down on South Korea, would you be preaching "maximum restraint" to the powers that be in Seoul? Didn't think so.
14. Hey, Reuters!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.10.14)
"The most recent hostilities were sparked three weeks ago by the kidnapping of three Jewish students in the occupied West Bank. Their bodies were found on June 30. They had apparently been shot." Factually inaccurate on oh-so-many levels. The "most recent hostilities" have been going on for a quite a while. Or have you missed the part where Hamas indiscriminately fires missiles and mortars at Israeli civilians? "Occupied West Bank?" The West Bank -- Judea and Samaria -- was liberated in June 1967. The only illegal occupiers are the Arabs. But that, too, will come to an inglorious end ... for the Arabs, that is. "They had apparently been shot." Nothing "apparent" about it. Bullet holes are a pretty good indicator of what happened to those three Jewish boys, z"l. You call yourselves a "news service?" People far more astute and intelligent than you beg to differ.
15. Excuse me, Mr. Secretary General
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.10.14)
Why do you find the sovereign State of Israel's affirmative duty to protect and defend its civilians "troubling and volatile?" You never -- EVER -- uttered any such phrases while the terrorist elements in Gaza rained missiles and mortars on Israeli civilians. You appear to be troubled only when the State of Israel FINALLY takes steps to neutralize those war crimes. Then, all of a sudden, realizing that Israel will no longer tolerate missile file and mortar fire directed at Israel's civilian populations, when it dawns upon your dim brain that Israel will no longer tolerate the kidnapping and murder of teenage boys -- it occurs to you that the situation is serious, and that it troubles Israel. You didn't care much about that before, though, did you? Having ignored the constant and ongoing violence from the "palestinians" for YEARS; did you think that Israel would pay much attention to you now? November 2012 is not a suitable point to which to return. Israel will crush Hamas and, quite frankly, you have only yourself to blame. You ignored for far too long the grave threat to the Israeli people. So the Israeli people had to speak up. Your inaction and indifference, Mr. Secretary General, is what prompted Israel to take matters into our own hands. We are not interested in any accommodation of Hamas which will simply give them time to regroup and rearm. We will solve the problem on our terms. It won't be pleasant, and there will be deaths in Gazans. But you have only yourself to blame. Do keep that in mind.
16. 50 to nothing-I think I can live with that
Arnold-Canada ,   Montreal   (07.10.14)
When the missiles from Gaza stop ... so will the IAF
17. Aah, United Nothing couldn't care less about rockets earlier
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.10.14)
18. till now israel was listening un,usa ect..
wise ,   eu   (07.10.14)
no peace, 2000 inocent lifes, fear .. this is peace for them of course they dont live in israel so they dont care so why we have to care what they say?? israel have to relay only on "himself" nobody is our friend protecting the people and the land is one of the basic international state law ! on contrary UN is breaking the law with not helping israel they will pay the price all ..
19. ISIS is reportedly in Gaza
C   (07.10.14)
isis is a threat to the entire world. it is an islamist terror army which has threatened to carry out terror attacks against all non-muslims. it has well trained military members who had been part of saddam hussein's military.
20. Hamas is firing missiles into Israel's population centers
C   (07.10.14)
the firing of missiles by hamas into sovereign Israel is an act of aggression and a war crime. the use of human shields in gaza is also a war crime. israel has every right to defend her territory and her population from mass murder.
21. #11, Polack. I supported BDS too but it doesn't work.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.11.14)
Come up with something new if you are as smart as you think.
