3. ceasefire
john ,   toronto   (07.29.14)
A meaningful ceasefire will take place only if blockade is lifted by Egypt and Israel and a stop to interference in governing of Gaza, by those whom the people have elected. Democracy usually is difficult in some societies because leaders cannot accept such freedom.Joint supervision of crossings will bring safety to the people of both states .
4. Bibi, remain strong and do not give in!

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.30.14)
...to own the israel occupation, ethnic cleansing, apartheid. Or let Gaza go, let NATO security into GAZA, providing security for all sides.
6. Tremendous victory
David ,   Rochester, New York   (07.30.14)
1200 dead, 6000 injured, 200,000 displaced, and billions of dollars of damage. Well, we each have our definition of success.
7. Ynet is the voice of Hamas
naro ,   nyc   (07.30.14)
It just repeats Hamas propaganda throughout the day. It is a defeatist paper.

solomon ,   bklyn   (07.30.14)
A meaningful ceasefire will take place only when Hamas stops shooting, no more no less. The rest of your post is rubbish.
10. Cease-fire
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (07.30.14)
A true cease-fire will come into force only when the Zionist Squatter State disappears from the world map, and not until then. Deal with it.
11. Mashal Loves Israel
mark ,   miami US   (07.30.14)
In a backward world. I mean he wants it for himself, not for Jewish people. Let him complain to the Egyptians to stop their blockade. Not us. (Maybe Gaza can go back to Egypt.. but we know Egypt doesn't want them) ps Remember how the Palestinians cheer and shoot rifles after the 9/11 attacks?!

"We have beaten the military. It is defeated..." I want whatever he is smoking...!
14. Suggestions, Comments, Demands
Chuck ,   SF, USA   (07.30.14)
It's time for the Israeli government to leave the phone off the hook until the IDF's job is finished.
15. # 3 A meaningful cease fire
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (07.30.14)
When hell freezes over. SMASHING GAZA MAKES GREAT TV!!!
16. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (07.30.14)
Every single human wants to have freedom including the Israelis and the Palestinians. No one can colonize any part of the world forever.
17. Arabs need perpetual bloodshed to justify Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.30.14)
18. blockade not lifted until all weapons removed
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (07.30.14)
Hamas go to hell!
19. Maybe we should go for he ceasefire.
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (07.30.14)
Then Haniyah and the other "leaders" will come out of their holes and Israel can take them out with targeted killings. I think its the only way we will get the people who are calling the shots. On second thought, how long can a person stay underground before they start feeling the effects of lack of sunshine? Does anyone know when they will start getting sick?
20. #10 cease-fire
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.30.14)
graczek: A true ceasefire will take place only when Hamas stops shooting, no more no less. And Israel will never disappear from the world map again. Deal with it.
21. to #10 twice in history the people who called
Lily   (07.30.14)
to the destruction of Israel vanished - the babylonians and the Romans.
22. Gazan civilians to Turkey Qatar and Iran
Zechariah   (07.30.14)
Gazan civilians ought be allowed to turkey Qatar or Iran with their leasder Mashall as the Hamas was the Islamic Brotherhood which was the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who in 1941 had tea with Hitler agreeing to Genocide not Rescue to Islamic land under the Benevolent Dhimmi .From the sea to the River is now Jewish in part because of this .
23. No electricity, no water, no food, no sanitation...
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.30.14)
1,100 people dead and the place looks like WWZ just happened. And according to Muslim logic, Hamas won! I think I'd rather be a loser against Hamas every time. Winning is too painful. Just shows the world what kind of psychopaths Israel is fighting. Keep the blockade. No truce until they surrender. Israel can do this all day. Eventually Hamas will fold as fighters realize Hamas, and not Israel, is the real enemy. I'm sure there are more than a few Hamas members who would like to be rid of Haniyeh and Mashaal. The person who whacks Haniyeh will get the Nobel Peace Prize!
24. this is all propaganda and part of their psych war...
Rafi ,   US   (07.30.14)
if Deif is such a dedicated shahid, why is he hiding in a deep bunker - and letting his colleagues take the heat? His days are numbered - he'll be cornered like a rat - and eliminated just like Bin Laden.
25. #16 to harold
solomon ,   bklyn   (07.30.14)
You are speaking to the arabs, who took over most of the then-known world during the Muslim Conquest, and won't let go of their hatred of Jews. Hamas has stated it wants to kill all the Jews and the PA has shown it does not want Jews in the area. Your 'vision' is myopic at best.
26. #5 Delusional, as usual
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (07.30.14)
"let NATO security into GAZA, providing security for all sides." - you mean like they "provide" in Southern Lebanon with Hezballah setting up rocket launch pads, hording weapons & periodically firing into Israel?
27. they killed Israel civilians and they want free
Lily   (07.30.14)
entrance to Israel, sound stupid, who will let terrorist to their homes.
28. Gazans must fight for freedom, or live on knees under Islam
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.30.14)
29. Deif the idiot savant - lift blockad b4 ceasfire - LOL
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.30.14)
He thinks we are idiots. We lift blockade, then all Hamas gets reinforcements in manpower and weapons. "The Zionist entity will not enjoy security if our people do not live in freedom and with respect." You need to earn that freedom and respect by first accepting the Zionist entity - earn being the magic word. How about freedom and respect for Jews? Instead of seeking death for Jews.
