1. Something is NOT RIGHT in Hamas
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.20.14)
Clearly the rockets that broke the ceasefire hours before the end - came as a surprise to the negotiators in Cairo Sources say that they were all shocked and dismayed...that Gaza should be subjected to new attacks when Gazans have had enough and are DEMANDING for Hamas to end the conflict for good So whats behind this Our sources say a viscious fight for total control in Gaza between Deif and some say in league with Mashaal against much of the rest in Hamas is occuring right now. Deif has gone to ground but if things are getting too close for comfort for him he and Mashaal have careful plans laid to escape to North Sudan to 'continue the struggle for another generation in Gaza' But Deif is determined to continue fighting as long as he can - because he has a blood lust 'no matter how many Gazan lives are sacrificed' because this unholy Moron sees 'sacrificing their blood' as a holy act With Deif in Military Control, no amount of ceasefires or treaties can hold - because he WILL break them at any time Deif is no Gaza Patriot Deif is a Traitor
2. Who is giving the orders to break the ceasefires
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.20.14)
More sources last night suggest it is Deif - possibly with the blessing of Mashaal Gaza MUST know if this Deif-Mashaal Alliance - with Deif controlling the military and Fancy Boy Mashaal plotting their 'strategy' already living it up somewhere in the Gulf is what is undermining the cessation of the conflict There is a deep suspicion that while Mashaal is full of smiles and bravado shedding crocodile tears about Gaza Children, he is actually fermenting more conflict and chaos in Gaza to ultimately take full control and milk Gaza for all that its worth Is THAT why Mashaal has debunked to the Gulf? Just in case?
3. The 3 billion NIS Yahoo stole from Iron Dome
Miron ,   USA   (08.20.14)
could have given Israel 10 more batteries when Israel needed those. Those who rob our nation's homeland of safety should not enjoy PM seat, in my humble opinion.
4. for #3 - Who is this YAHOO who stole $3 billion ?
m r ,   israel   (08.20.14)
5. More from Gaza
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.20.14)
This is more than just a break of the ceasefire This is the start of an internal bitter Hamas fight to the end When Hamas denied any knowledge or rockets fired into Israel around 5 hours before the end of the ceasefire THEY WERE RIGHT They had no knowledge, no forewarning that this was going to happen Word is that they are 90% SURE that it was Mashaal who had given the Green Light to Deif and it looks like we are in the middle of a silent coup by Deif-Mashaal to take complete control of Gaza but if it backfires they have already made plans to escape to Sudan Whatever sanity is Ieft in Gaza - GAZA MUST catch these criminals Deif and if possible Mashaal before they can inflict any more destruction and death....Enough is Enough
6. Deif + Mashaal can excape to N. Sudan
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.20.14)
May be, if we are lucky, they'll catch Ebola Virus.
7. What planet are you living on Sammy?
Dina   (08.20.14)
Something not right with a terrorist organization. You think they play fair? Where have you been for the last decade?
8. Rockets campaign
Thierry ,   Paris   (08.20.14)
Rockets campaign useless tool to hamas. This is children's toy to bigger stronger Israel. Well, if they want to spend their royal money with these toys, it is their problem. laughable children's thing. C'est ce que je pense.
9. really?
SA ,   USA   (08.20.14)
Ok don't they realize that they lost already? Do they really want Israel to just level the entire Gaza strip?
10. To 8 Rockets children toy?
E ,   Hadera Israel   (08.20.14)
You are not very clever are you? Go to live in ashdod and you will see if hamas rockets are toys.
11. Nuke Gaza.
Dan   (08.21.14)
Only when their spirit is broken will the job be done. If that means nuking Gaza, do it. The world wishes ISIS, Hamas and their insane kind gone.
12. Final Solution
Tomas ,   Montreal   (08.21.14)
I suggest using chemical and Biological weapons against Hamas. Care not about international organizations such as HRW etc.
13. #9 - That is EXACTLY what they want
Ben ,   USA/ISRAEL   (08.21.14)
SA, Hamas would like nothing less than for Israel to kill off hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents. This has been the strategy behind the whole "Palestinian" refugee debacle from day 1. The whole idea is to have a festering wound to point at and blame Israel. This is why the "Palestinian's" dear weeping brothers in Lebanon, Syria, and everywhere except Jordan (Now) keep them as 2nd. class citizens at best and caged animals at worst. This has never been about saving "Palestinians", this has always been about making Israel look bad. Hamas glorifies itself in civilian blood. Sadly the civilians in Gaza can't seem to get a clue.
14. It's downed; not felled
Isaac Storm   (08.20.14)
If a rocket is intercepted by Iron Dome and brought down - it is downed; not felled. A rocket can fall to the earth but it fell (past tense of fall) down. Or the rocket launch can be a complete dud and falls back onto the terrorists - it would be a failed attempt.
15. Sammy-How do you see things if Deif is dead
Alan ,   SA   (08.21.14)
Anyway Qatar is pushing for more trouble!
16. Arabs need perpetual bloodshed to justify Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.21.14)
17. Booboo so far has killed 3 score Israeli youths
Jhan   (08.21.14)
How many more will he sacrifice to his cowardice and stupidity? How many more until Israelis wake out of the ir slumber and get rid of their sell-out oligarchs and elites?
18. Criminal agression from the "islam"-Strip against Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (08.20.14)
Unfortunately "islam"-"hamas" and allies blew their last chance. For the sake of peace and security for Israel, the best thing that can be done is total destruction and eradication of the criminal "islam"-"hamas" right now! MAY G.D ALSO BLESS HIS JEWISH AND ISRAELI PEOPLE AND ISRAEL!
19. Cease Fire
Steve Gure ,   Cocobnut Creek USA   (08.20.14)
I can not understand the Israeli position. They have learned nothing from the past and conttinue to pursue the matter with continous cease fires and responding only after hAMAS TAKES THE INITIATIVE. It appears that Bibi is not up to the task and should be replaced.
20. Sammy no.1
Aaron ,   Toronto,Canada   (08.20.14)
Got bad news for you, deif or any other terrorist leader can't escape from gaza,all tunnels are closed and by the way DEIF is having his virgins right about now if he still has his pecker.
21. Rocket Fire
Mark ,   San Diego USA   (08.21.14)
What in the hell is wrong with you Bibi. I don't understand your lack of leadership and moxy. I held you in very high esteem and you let that rag tag sewer rat second rate group of coward terrorist rain bombs all over your country and all you do is air attacks. You said you weren't going to play tag with these dogs. Move in and level that place. Whats wrong with you? They are spitting in Israel's face and making you look like a blow hard and a fool. LEVEL THE PLACE!!!!
22. OOPS
ik ,   USA   (08.21.14)
Isn't it about time that one of those scraggly errant rockets hit the golden dome ? It could happen.
23. Fire rockets back at their cities...
Son of Rambo   (08.21.14)
24. @7 he has been carying coal in newcastle
bernard ,   yavne-mnich   (08.20.14)
25. Day in the Life of Mashaal
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (08.21.14)
Aide Good morning your wonderfulness. Trust you slept well. Is this 6 Star Qatar Hotel to your liking? Mashaal Never mind the Hotel...Have you double checked their Security? Israel is after me. Egypt is after me. Fatah is after me. Now Hamas and the whole of Gaza is after me! Aide How ungrateful is that? After all you have (not) done for Gaza? Mashaal Send a message. Fire some more rockets and show them who is boss. And get a message to Deif immediately SOS...Save our Skins! Sudan here we come
26. To: Ben at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.21.14)
Israel has to retake Gaza. That's a given. Gaza's "civilian" population should be sent to Qatar, Turkey, Iran -- the countries paying the most lip service to their "plight" -- and the balance can emigrate to assorted member states of the European Union -- their next most vocal supporters. 1.8 million people can easily be absorbed into several countries. Israel should annex Gaza, and turn it into a pearl. Currently, it is a cesspool, and that includes its inhabitants.
27. Islam
Elena Nash ,   Tampa Florida- us   (08.21.14)
all the nations of Islam have been fighting for centuries, it is required reading according to their Quran. It is a way of life they teach their children from generation to generation. Their cry is and always will be death for the love of Allah! actual piece is totally foreign to them if there was pease, most of them would stand around scratching their heads wondering what to do with themselves. Oh yeah I forgot theres Shariah law to enforce! Now there's job security
28. To: Sammy of Newcastle
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.21.14)
Sammy, you appear to have sources in Gaza. May I ask if you have family there?
