The war the IDF is conducting in Gaza remind me of the significant budget cuts inflicted on them. Lack of training and no advanced helmets as well as sending in to battle old armored vehicles . The price our boys are paying is far too high!!

let us pray that the road ahead is neither too long nor too arduous. we need to thank many times the young men of TZAHAL, SHABAK, the PM, DM, Army Chief, and all agencies who have made this operation a success thus far. those who unfortunately lost their lives will be remembered and treasured forever.

America's admiration for Israel and her IDF has only grown while watching her take out the trash in Gaza. G-d's continued blessings on HIs Chosen.

My heart goes out for all these wonderful young heroes that made the ultimate sacrifice there is for all of us. That's how it's always been in Israel, unfortunately. But they did and do the job. The gave Hamas what it begged for for 14 years. Hamas terrorists in their cockiness and murderousness thought they could do whatever they liked. Like dumb little irresponsible children they fired their stupid rockets and dug tunnels as if they are in control of the situation. As if they are immune hiding behind their women and children and we wouldn't dare to face them. We'll be too SCARED to face them (as if we ever are). It's a shame the Arabs don't seem to learn who we Israelis are. We LOVE peace and quiet. All we want is to live out lives. We mind our own business and want to be left a lone. BUT we will NOT compromise on the security of our citizens. If you attack them and attack time and time again, we will finally face you. Our best sons, fathers and brothers will die in this combat but your will die a hundredfold and your threat and attacks will be stopped. That's how it's been ever since Israel was established and before that. For the sake of your sons, fathers and brothers, and for the sake of our sons, fathers and brothers LEARN THIS LESSON already.

Your question is a mere provocation: Can you suggest ANOTHER way to fiught terrorists who fire at Israel and hide behind their people? If you do, why don't you contact the IDF ASAP. Otherwise shut up. What you want is that Israel just continues to live under rockets attacks and tunnels threat and and do nothing, don't you? Well sorry to disappoint you - we WILL stop these attacks and threats.

The sight of the Clown Mashaal mouthing hot air just yesterday With a smug smirk and snigger and his grand puffed up gestures playing to his 'audience' as if without a care in the world or CONSCIENCE as to what he has done in Gaza makes your stomach churn No wonder hes speaking from so far from Gaza Because he knows what may be his fate from the People of Gaza WHO HAVE HAD ENOUGH ENOUGH and ENOUGH and why the Gaza Street now pronounces him Mussolini Mashaal...(so he can view the world from upside down) Its NOT ENOUGH for Hamas to negotiate with Egypt, Jordan, PA and Israel Hamas have FIRST to ANSWER to, APOLOGISE and BEG FORGIVENESS from the people of Gaza whose lives THEY have wrecked and then RETURN all the proceeds of their PLUNDER of Gazas meagre resources Gaza There IS another way

These past 17 days have been one of great anxiety and content worry. Never in my wildest dreams would I have believed that Israel would have been bogged down by a raggedy gang of terrorist scum. I am appalled at the lack of resolute leadership ever so evident in the political arena. Its time for a major cleanup and change in the political process. The Knesset is a gang of pompous self anointed irresponsible moochers with no real concern for the citizenry. The Army is made to put up with shoddy equipment so that, they the moochers in Israeli society can do sweet bugger all while the very soldiers who defend the country with their bodies are left with scrapes. I know it is a time of war and that we ought to be united, but I am disgusted by the selfish ways of certain segments of Israeli society. The only things that saves Israel from destruction is GOD the IDF and the BRAVERY of the Israeli soldier.

Trust not your media...but that of the noble Resistance!

IDF Forward ...... In Gaza Hamas , Hezbollah & Iranians ..... Israel To Be Or Not To Be !

God bless these Israeli warriors: Son's of Israel! Kicking butt and taking names!

'Gaza can endure months of conflict' Are they living on another planet? Do they just not care? Are they that callous and brutal they will want to sacrifice even more lives whilst SAVING THEMSELVES? And you have this amazing situation of Hamas slowly fracturing - from one end Zahar who is almost certifiably insane to Haniyeh who has been usurped and treated abominably by upstart Mashaal and then Mashaal himself who is to all intents and purposes psychotic and suffers hallucinations, delusions and completely at odds with reality Gaza deserves BETTER

Wissam, That the media might not be getting us the whole picture is not doubted. That the resistance is "Noble" is a giant joke. Unless by noble you mean hiding behind women and children, or in Maashal's case, in another country. Or perhaps the nobility is in stealing all the money sent to help the people of Gaza and getting fat in Qatar. Hamas' leadership is happy for every Jew killed, but what ought to scare the crap out of you is that they are happy for every arab killed as well. But, go forth and continue your blind support of evil! Some day, the people of Gaza and the West Bank will wake up, and the "men" of Hamas will pray to be captured by Israel because the punishment they will face from their "own" people will be horrendous, though well earned!

trigger booby trapped houses by using robots remotedly, human shields, or blowing the house with munitions so that idf are not blown up by ieds or antitank rockets. Congratulatioins on grabbing suspect gazans for any possible trade and for use in antihamas activiites plug the tunnels and gas them. IDF is rounding into shape. Recall that hamas operatives are concentrated in the tunnels and move to openings to surprise and attack. Gas the tunnels or bury them alive.

Please know American's fully support Israel in every way. You are America's first line of defense, we are in debt to you and thank you on behalf of a grateful nation and, please, excuse our ungrateful, current President's hostilities and detachment, he's busy golfing and on fund raisers.... Neither of these will help his place in history as being rated the worst and US Presidents ever. Win big!!!!

Keep killing these evil savages. Is it me or does seem like the rocket-fire on Israel has greatly diminished? The Gaza strategy must be working. Israel is still fighting with one-hand behind their backs. Personally, I think Hamas is hoping when the situation becomes so dire that the rest of the Muslim world will, finally, come to their aid. That would be a horrible mistake for the Muslims, because they'll get wiped-out--guaranteed! Like the rest of the countless wars fought between Israel and the Arabs, Israel, because of their God, will be victorious, once again! The Muslim spiritual mindset is so evil that it can't think rationally; their eternal hatred, for Israel, will be their destruction. May God bring the Son's of Israel home safely. My/our prayers are with you. God bless Israel; praying for the peace of Jerusalem! Christian Zionist
