prevent it. We choose- which exactly...?!

The pals had a "democratic" election and choose hamass, an islamic-cult-terror-organization. Israel does NOT occupy the strip !! Israel left in 2005.. Even Egypt, an Islamic country, has closed the border for the terrorist-leaded strip, your friends. I will remind you of the Black September in 1970, were the true terror from the pals were stopped, with thousands of terrorists dead in Jordan. Then in your mind, Mike W, you should start re-arranging your info about the pal issue, get some information... If the pals lay down their weapon and stop their terrorism, then peace will come. If Israel lay down THEIR weapons there will be a massive bloodshed of murdered Israelis. Try to get this into your mind and brush away the pollution from the leftist and pro-groups.

are going to need trauma treatment after these two months of rockets? Agree, it is not like 4 years of a world war arena, but I have a distinct feeling that medical facilities will be needing financial help after all this. War of attrition might not be the best choice in strategy. Can you really rely on Israeli citizens being that strong? No, do not ceasefire - increase power instead.

how the Muslims in the UN will condemn it.

ben ari attacked yaalon for his statement about manoevering hamas into a ceasefire on israeli terms as acknowledging hamas as a state and endless attrition strategy. Unless yaalonthinks idf is incapable of disorienting hamas via multiple raids, retaking philadelphi, I don't know what yaalon is smoking. A 6 week strategy of gradual escalation stinks to high heaven and is the opposite of what idf has historically done until the last 10 years. Wake up and modify the strategy cause this is not working. The idea is that you win on points is empty as halutz found out. Yaalon has been a good general until he hitched his wagon to bibi-who is like olmert, a fish out of water and incapable to think attack in a war effort. His strategy is miserable.

Maybe it will teach the arabs to realise which side their bread is buttered and that having solidarity with Hamas might not actually be such a good idea because mortars doesn't discriminate between arab and Jew. Zouabi of course will probably say the people who fired the mortars are heros and the IDF used some special weapon to divert it so it hit an arab house rather than call Hamas terrorists rather than condemn them and call on them to end the fighting unconditionally so ordinary people can get back to normal lives.

Israel needs to act quickly to stamp out Hamas. Don't be intimidated by the Trojan Horse. He is irrelevant. Already he has stopped the sale of armaments to Israel. He is on the side of the Muslim Brotherhood. According to Islamist-Jihadist Terrorism Expert, Brigitte Gabriel, the Muslim Brotherhood is the Father of all Islamist-Jihadist Terrorist Organizations in the world. It is the Muslim Brotherhood that is manipulating the Trojan Horse. The latter is in league with the devil. Israel should defend itself decisively without fear or favor of what the world of Dhimmis/dark forces says. The American people are waiting for Congress to defend the nation by impeaching the Trojan Horse. Israel should deal directly with the Congress that has the power of the purse and declaration of war. The fact is Congress and the American people support Israel. And this is what counts. Gaza is a tiny enclave and should not be allowed to rain rocket bombs on Israel without being stamped out. It is time Israel acts quickly to defend itself irrespective of what the world would say.

Let's get this over with asap ! Little Daniel's death has been very upsetting for me and I am not a relative ! May his parents be strong and know no further pain.

Did you read the article? Your heroes at Hamas shot mortars at a civilian vehicle carrying Israeli citizens (who happened to be Arab Muslims) who were there to take a wounded Arab child from Gaza to an Israeli hospital for treatment. So while Israelis, Muslims and Jews, work together to save the lives of Arab children, your Hamas heroes try to kill the Arab children and you still rant about Hamas and "freedom"? Do you even understand what that word "freedom" means? You are part of the problem.

the Gazan people out of spite.

She's been awfully quiet since returning from Qatar !

They VOTED for and support Hamas. Let HAMAS use its money to build hospitals instead of KILLING TUNNELS.

the enemy in our hospitals; so Hamas tried to do it. Respect! Better luck next time.

Of course you are not white, you are a racist liar in all your posts here. Go blow someone up. You'll feel better.

"Subhuman monsters" is an understatement when trying to describe those guilty of the abomination of deliberately targeting vehicles whose task it is to take Gazans to Israeli hospitals for treatment. "Biting the hand that feeds you" becomes a cynical joke when compare to this.

Hamas is very cruel to the Palestinians it rules over! It is not a government; it is a terrorist organization that that took over Gaza ONLY to be able to destroy Israel and to kill Jews!! That is why living conditions for the Palestinians are so awful -- Hamas takes all the money and materials that are meant for the Gazans and uses them for its own plans like the millions of pounds of concrete meant for building infrastructure yet, along with millions of dollars, was used for building tunnels into Israel expressly to perform major acts of terror against Israeli civilians!!! Hamas also doesn't build the schools and medical centers that the Palestinians were given the money for but Hamas stole. Also, Hamas kills ans tortures Palestinians whenever it suits their purposes (they're a TERRORIST group, remember?) and they NEVER intend to give the Palestinians their own country!!!- Hamas uses the Palestinians to get foreign aid and political propaganda; that' that's why they closed the banks while the fighting was going on and they saw a way to cause a "humanitarian crisis"!! (The Palestinians themselves received no benefits from all the money that came in!!)
