who's only concerned about Israel's escalation?

hide these rockets and destroy them all. I wish they did not hide behind the kids, but the reality of their war is different.

Air Force hitting from above - ground forces are in Gaza - and yet rockets still being launched to Israel. Is it possible that rockets launchers are located somewhere else - Sinai ?

population. How brave is it to face an unarmed child or baby. The so-called Arab rockets are just pieces of pipe. Without an overwhelming advantage israelis are cowards.

The rockets & missiles launched against Israel constitutes a crime against humanity, whether they hit or miss, because it is directed at civilian targets. Shooting rockets at civilians is a war crime.

With the IDF there on the ground they should be able to see where the rockets are coming from and put an end to it.

No one here is listening to what Kerry has to say.

If brains were weapons you would be unarmed. How brave was it for the Arabs to kidnap and murder 3 teenagers? How brave was it for them to slit the throat of the Fogel families baby? I'd like to see somebody give you a piece of terrorist pipe where the sun doesn't shine but your head would only get in the way.

Without an overwhelming advantage Americans are cowards.

Israel once more, DELIBERATELY fails to exterminate the enemy.... Expect more of the same...

Barbara @ #3. GREAT QUESTION, BARBARA!

And if Egypt wants to allow food in let them open their crossing. My guess is they would let them starve. Israel is absolutely nuts for sending anything into gaza except exploding munitions

They face the consequences. No sympathy for this lot who keep shooting and do not give a damn about their people.

hamas had ten thousand missiles of which many hundreds are long range of the type that had reached naharyia.

The Israeli ground forces have captured so far only a tiny part of the Gaza Strip. The rest is still under Hhamas' control.

Such operation will entail heavy casualties among Israeli troops, but more obstructing, among Gaza's civilians (the human shield), which will engender a loud outcry worldwide and force the government to stop.

Ynet thank you for not making my post of earlier public. It is my sincere belief that the most import element of victory was outlined in this post, the need to continue to prevail in the under currents of the cybersphere to the Barbara's of the world. It is simply not just winning the hearts and minds but the filling the gaps in understanding that will keep Israel strong, sometime times the process complete refutation is required. Keep hitting home on the need to root out Hamas and the imcompatibility of peace with their intrangience. Right now most understand this, don't lose the momentum, hit back hard with the why's and hows.
