1. They Say They Won
maddad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (08.30.14)
They both started and then say they won the war. Why should anyone care?
2. Remember they won the war
Mordechai   (08.30.14)
Hamas said they won the war so this must be minor damage. Perhaps they can recycle the concrete from the terror tunnels. Or they could overthrow the Hamas terrorists and invite Israel to resume control of Gaza.
3. I hope all arobs will move to ejypt or turnkey next week to
Moshe ,   Usa   (08.30.14)
beat the rush. Why should they have stress in their lives. 20 years is too late. Move now. Give turnkey your bombs.
4. IAF fought a difficult enemy. IDF had to risk
Proud Jew   (08.30.14)
surface to air missiles, Hama's modern aircraft and countless other obstacles to bomb a defenceless civilian population. More children killed = more ppremonitions.
5. Yes, but how long will if take
Righteous Zionist ,   Israel   (08.30.14)
the b******* to rebuild their tunnels?
6. No reconstruction without complete disarmament!
Alan ,   SA   (08.30.14)
7. mostly civilians?
(08.30.14)
Quting: Over 2,100 Palestinians, most civilians, died in the war. Not even talking about the foreign press, but also Ynet not counting over 1000 dead Hamas terrorists and posting them as mostly civilians? Disappointing.
8. You see, that's result u get from sending rockets to Israel
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (08.30.14)
9. Gaza rebuild
Jeremy ,   Hula valley kibbutz   (08.30.14)
To bad they started this round of warfare. They lose. Don't care if it takes 50 years to rebuild ,no to stuff as long as Hamas rules
10. 20 years if ceasefire will not be broken

zionist forever   (08.30.14)
13. Let's be modest and aim for... say: 200 frigging years!!
(08.30.14)
14. If they don't steal for tunnels it will take only 2 years
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.30.14)
15. it could be more if Hamas don't end terror
zionist forever   (08.30.14)
So it will take 20 years well it didn't have to be this way if the people had toppled Hamas same way arabs have been toppling their leaders all over the place. Hamas already brought 2 military operations onto them but they still did nothing to bring them down. Hamas have only called for a temporary hudna so far so the war may not be over, the test will come when Netanyahu and Abbas meet in a month to decide a long term arrangement for Gaza because if Hamas are not happy with any deals on the table and start the rockets again then they will bring another 20 years worth of destruction onto Gaza. Hamas and the residents of Gaza will decide its future not Israel, Obama Abbas or anybody else.
16. above
moishe   (08.31.14)
probably much longer because Hamas theft and diversions to war stuff. Gaza will never be a civil place as long as Hamas rules and people support them. Palestinians are professional refugees in Gaza and elsewhere now, past and future. nothing to be proud of.
17. If I were a Gazan -
Christy ,   Boaton, US   (08.31.14)
I'd be very upset at my fellow-citizens who were responsible for starting this. I'd be very unhappy having to live amid the destruction I see. I feel bad for the innocent people who had nothing to do with firing rockets at Israel. Can't blame (altho. you probably will) Israel - any country would have retaliated to the rocket launches.
18. 'militants'
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (08.31.14)
'Several temporary truces were broken by Gaza 'militants' ??? When is a terrorist not a terrorist? When the Associated Press is involved. The world acknowledges that Hamas are terrorists so why pretend they're just 'militants'??
19. Rebuild for Hamas?
Akiva ,   NYC   (08.31.14)
Gaza should not be rebuilt until Hamas is removed from power. Give Gaza back to Egypt -- and Hamas will be squashed very quickly indeed ! Otherwise Hamas will keep attacking Israel and Israel will continue to respond and there will be an ongoing need to keep rebuilding Gaza.
