1. Yes, yes we know that, but what is this crap about knowing
(04.04.15)
that they're preparing for the "next round"? It is not some B-grade horror movie, where the monster we thought was already dead suddenly reaches one more time for the beautiful leading blonde (that's us, Israelis) because the plot is written badly. Why do we let these Zombies to have one more go before we eventually cut off their heads? Especially that we can do it in so many different (even bloodless ways)?! "We've won the war" REALLY?! IDF against pishers with rogatkas???
2. WINNING..Youi both ... WON...BUT...CAT and MOUSE..
SAMMY K ,   Washington - DC   (04.04.15)
Israel and Its Puppet Hamas..or TOY... BOTH of YOU WON..HORRAY... Let us GET IT OVER with That BiBi WON..and MOVE onto PEACE.. No more GAMES..PLEEEEEASE... It Enough..Both The SABRAS And THE PALESTINIANS had ENOUGH... . PEACE IS EASY NOW...Iran has a HEADACHE..and so DOES HIZBULLAH. .. Let us FOCUS on the HOLY LAND....
3. Protective Edge
Steve Gure ,   Coconut Creek USA   (04.04.15)
If Israel won it would not witness the rebuilding of the fighting capacity of Hamas as the general admits. Try to do better next time.
4. Hollow victory.
Army of David   (04.04.15)
The most powerful military in the region defeats resistance fighters armed with stone, sticks, primitive (non-exploding) missles and occasional weapon. Lions of zion slaughter 500+ children and 1,500 unarmed civilians.
5. Hollow ...
Robert Haymond ,   Israel   (04.04.15)
Your "statistics" reflect Pallywood and not a reputable source. If you truly wish to comprehend this conflict, try sourcing your material more accurately.
6. Army of David
Arnold ,   Canada   (04.04.15)
The most powerful army of all time , the Americans lost out to the North Vietnamese. Why? Because it is virtually impossible to win against an army that hides underground, wears no distinct military uniform and blends in with the non combatants. Israel's other problem is it is forced to fight with one hand tied. If the IDF wanted they could anihalate Gaza within 48 hours.
7. Retake Gaza forever! No more games
Chaim ,   Israel   (04.04.15)
The big problems began (like almost all Israel's major problems) with a lunatic leftist supported Israeli retreat. The solution could not be more obvious. Reverse our lunatic Gaza retreat. Rebuild Gush Katif. Retake Gaza forever! No more games.
8. Hey army of Dave!
BBSNews ,   Santa Fe, New Mexico   (04.05.15)
Yes, Israel could destroy 1.9 million Palestinians in Gaza. But then instead of peace Israel would be faced with its own destruction by its own hand.
9. Stating the obvious
Susan ,   Manchester,UK   (04.04.15)
Not really hard for the worlds 4th largest military to beat an impoverished people
10. # 3 Next time, I'nm sure Israel can do better...
(04.04.15)
But, what about the captive human shields that Hamas purposefully intimidates to stay and die for the next 'photo op.'?
11. What victory?
Indi ,   London, UK   (04.07.15)
Human beings fighting and killing each other like animals is a sad commentary. So much for civilized man.
