For the first time since 1967, both the US under Obama and the UK were openly allied with Hamas against Israel, not supporting, but actually allied. Netanyahu really has no option without risking Obama going to the UN security council to undeclare Israel, impose a blockade (like he did for 36 hours) or even send American forces to attack Israel. At the same time, things are clearer than ever. Despite Netanyahu grudgingly accepting the extreme Left philosophy of establishing an Arab state in Israel, it's been proven again that the Zionists are right: international and American guarantees to Israel are worthless; demilitarization of an Arab state is impossible; a border fence and unilateral withdrawal are worthless; a two state solution is impossible. Netanyahu has no choice but to step back, and think what to do.
2. The IDF needs to blow up all the ambulances and garbage truc
Rivkah   (08.05.14)
trucks that are missile launchers in disguise, too, not just the tunnels.
3. So what I understand is: IDF stands down while Hamas
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.05.14)
still shoots rockets, uses sniperfire and mortars into Israel and soldiers. A one-sided ceasefire till Hamas gets what they want. They must think we are fryyerim / fools.
4. this is not over yet

hamas wanted a cease fire because they are losing badly. however, given the irrational nature of these people, they will continue to harass israel. they will neither make peace nor capitulate. one day, israel will have to make total war on that terror entity and ignore the jew hating world.
5. Sadly, who forgot to blow up the Al Aqsa??

Why wasn't that rocket slipped through?? I guess the next punishment against the terror-cult-of-islam would be a statement, ; A new rocket, and Al-Aqsa will no longer be a mosk,not even a memory on the face of the earth.
6. There is no other word for this but

(another) "DEFEAT". How encouraged Hamas will be. We can look forward to worse and a repeat

sadly this war is not the war to end all wars with Hamas. also a danger of local Palestinians. Israel has a big problem for its safety in the future. I hope they have some really smart people to come up with a good plan. as for Gaza civilians, they got screwed again. and the shame of it is they don't get it. they could have done much better at peace with Israel. some people like to suffer. look at much of Moslem ME. pity.
8. I hope that the 250 milion aid has nothing to do with that

9. Well here we are one month in and
john robey ,   austin texas   (08.05.14)
some sixty odd Jews dead, the rockets continue, Hamas is still in power, they will now get new funding to rebuild, and Israel is left with the world (including the US) fuming and it's actions. WELL DONE BIBI!
