1. You're jesting, aren't you:WHAT deterrence?! They do exactly
(12.14.17)
as they please, when they please and there isn't a damn thing that we're willing to do about it.
That's our "realpolitik" in a nutshell.
2. Allowing Gazans to be treated in Israeli hospitals dumb idea
ab   (12.14.17)
born of suicidal idealism.Stop it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Well then....guess it's time to get serious.....
Koose E Mack ,   Great Satan US   (12.14.17)
Level Gazza!
4. Know of an a surety Israel,,,,,
Rob ,   Wash. D.C.   (12.14.17)
If you let the conflict escalate into a war as in the 2014 carnage, blood shed and civilian deaths that plagued the media,,,,, know of an a surety you surely be destroyed.
5. Filing of second UNSC complaint
The Archives ,   kuala lumpur   (12.16.17)
Nikki Hailley must also file complaint that the authority of palestine is not PA but actually Hamas that controls palestine even to the subservient plan of digging underground tunnels into the territory of Israel to carry out terror activity as killing and to forcefully evict Israel nationals. The palestinians must be viewed with contempt of making the UNSC look like fools supporting 'terrorism'.
6. Hamas' intentions
Arnie ,   Montreal   (12.16.17)
The writer is an idiot. We all know Hamas' intentions. The IDF needs to say as simply as possible STOP the rockets. Then the politicians approach the UN and tell them to tell the militants to STOP. If that does not work the IDF needs to pull back the residents close to the border with Gaza and then match one for one each rocket into Israel.
If it leads to all out chaos then the UN is to blame too.
7. Give people prosperity and there will be peace.
Aran Ariel ,   Brooklyn   (12.16.17)
Jerusalem is Israel's capital de-facto, therefore, there was never a reason for Trump to declare Jerusalem as its capital, unless it serves a narrow set of interests. Perhaps the Trump administration should consider helping the countries of the region to develop infrastructure, as opposed to making declarations that inevitably lead to pointless bloodshed.
8. non-stop?

10. Israels deterrence against Hamas has collapsed
Anita Goldstein ,   Haifa   (01.01.18)
Far be it for more to criticize the contents of this ridiculous article
Save to point out that what to you may see as a "collapse" to any normal person living here it is obvious that there is a reason for every move by the IDF maybe you should treat yourself to a pair of reading glasses before making pathetic views public and thereby saving yourself a lot of embarrassment
