1. why they have so many demands...
David   (08.08.14)
The only reason Hamas is projecting so many demands, and "threatening" to resume fire-- is because they feel they have the support of the president of the United States, and that Israel will only be condemned if it actually responds to the war that Hamas is waging. This is a perverse situation, that would be reversed completely absent the repeated expressions of moral support for Hamas, on the part of Obama and other European leaders. I mean "other European leaders" quite literally. Obama is not acting as an American president.
2. what was the point of this war
k ,   US   (08.08.14)
If Israel is going to give into anything than it will seem the Palestinains are the winner in this conflict, so what was the point?
3. what does Hamas want?
(08.08.14)
Why is this even asked? Why is this so hard to understand? They have been saying it from day 1, and it is even written in their Charter. Exterminate all the Jews (and Kafir). Impose Sharia law
4. Conflict can only end with WW II style Israeli victory.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.08.14)
The Nazis and Japanese were 1,000 times stronger than "Palestinians". Yet permanent peace was created by the Allies' resounding victory. Similarly, war with our mortal "Palestinian" foes can only end with resounding WW II style Israeli victory. Israel need merely end ALL lunatic support for evil Fictional Palestine, and it would soon collapse. Israel needs a gutsy leader, such as Moshe Feiglin, who can make it happen.
5. terror states should be denied all international rights
and should be ,   disarmed   (08.08.14)
6. Sit back and let them shoot their last rockets into Israel.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (08.08.14)
Take them out with Iron Dome...let them land where they may. Then claim moral superiority to the anti semetic WORLD...as you don't fire anything back...... and give hamas NOTHING...in return.
7. What it wants is clear:DEATH. Will it get it?: not so clear.
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.08.14)
We must begin to instill genuine hate towards everything Arab/Islamofascist amongst us. There is no other way can destroy this abomination! The degree of hate towards Jews among the followers of Religion of Peace is something only the most pious Nazis experienced (I could imagine). Gaza must die, that much is obvious. How many of them, is a question only they can decide upon.
8. a new north korea
mamou ,   france   (08.08.14)
we are assisting at the emergence of a new kind of north korea rogue state in the middle east. Hamas is blackmailing the whole world: If you do not want i bomb your airport, give me an airport, if you do not want i kill your children, give me the right to smuggle arms and tunnels; etc The "palestinian cause", the right of self determination has nothing to do with the behavior of Hamas. A ismail haniyeh warlord has enough guns to impose his will to the rest of the world with the complicity of international media coverage. strange, strange world where everybody calls peace what is war, and calm what is a permanent menace.
9. hamas savages should be given nothing
CJK   (08.08.14)
these totalitarian islamic terror savages should be given nothing whatever. they should be eradicated from the face of the earth together with the muslim brotherhood, isis, boko haram, hezbollah, and all other savage islamists.
10. They want
EZ   (08.08.14)
the equivalent of suicide by cop. Israel should oblige.
11. The right politically correct words.
Jay Tustin ,   OC. Us   (08.09.14)
First, it should be positive words. Words that people can relate to. Peaceful home, prosperity, good health, etc.. The vast majority of families in all countries are mainly concern about having a roof over their heads, food on the table and good health. Don't forget to offer all of these and more for the only requirement of being a good and peaceful neighbor...
