1. Find a real leader
DSM ,   USA   (05.31.18)
The IDF under Bibi seems to be best at firing into empty lots and empty buildings. Israel must find a real leader in such dangerous times.
2. RETIRED WW2 VETERAN

CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL, "TRUCE", "ARMISTICE" CEASE FIRING ALL THAT IS BETTER THAN KILLING AND WOUNDING OPPONENTS.

THE NONSENSE WHAT EITHER SIDE GETS FROM A SULLIED HONOR DOES NOT BRING THE DEAD BACK TO LIFE NOR THE SORELY WOUNDED BACK TO HEALTH.

(05.31.18)
The Arabs of Gaza are making war against Israel, because they attack Israel. It is written in the Torah, in Deuteronomy 20:10-18, that God commanded that, in the war, Israel kill all the enemies, without distinction between combatants and civilians. So, the state of Israel must kill all the Arabs of Gaza, without distinction between combatants and civilians. Note that the Arabs of Gaza are throwing rockets at the Jews without distinction between combatants and civilians. Note also that the so called “civilians” of Gaza are terrorists as well, because they cooperate with the terrorists, serving as human shields for them.

The state of Israel must immediately declare null the Oslo Accords and annex the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to its territory and dismantle the Palestinian Authority. The Oslo Accords are null, because they are against the Law of God (Written Torah), because it is written in the Torah, in Numbers 33:50-53 and Deuteronomy 1:8 and 30:5, that God commanded Israel to possess all the Land of Canaan, that is the Land of Israel, that includes all the Palestine. And the state of Israel must not give Israeli citizenship to the Arabs, because Israel is a Jewish state, so that only Jews can be citizens of Israel. This is not racism, because any person, of any race or ethnicity, may convert to Judaism.

The state of Israel must immediately expel the Arabs from its territory, because it is written in the Torah, in Exodus 23:31-33 and in Numbers 33:52, that God commanded Israel to expel the other inhabitants of the Land of Canaan, which is the Land of Israel, which includes all the Palestine. The Arabs invaded the Land of Israel in the year 635 CE, so that they are invaders, and must leave Israel, and return to their own land, which is Arabia. This is not racism, because any person, of any race or ethnicity, can convert to Judaism. Moreover, the Palestinian Arabs are killing the Israeli Jews, so that the Israeli Jews need to expel the Palestinian Arabs from the Land of Israel (Palestine), as self defense, in order to save their lives.

7. And ISR forgets to mention one thing.....
Brett Levitas ,   JHB RSA   (05.31.18)
Israel left the whole of gaza, every square inch and yet it is a territory filled with 10's of Thousands of rockets calling for the end of the iccupation and murder of Israelis.
Why do the Israelis leave this little gem out??

9. How about something different?
Ed ,   USA   (05.31.18)
Why prop up Hamas by allowing to avoid the appearance of defeat? Economic reconstruction, as advocated here, gives Hamas a victory. Better, I think, to humiliate Hamas.
10. IDF is one of the major armies in the entire world
C   (05.31.18)
the idea of "mutual deterrence" with the terror group hamas is risible.
hamas is destroying arab palestinians .
11. Invade Gaza
Rami ,   Helsinki   (05.31.18)
Iran is obviously supplying them via Egypt.
12. I like Ron, but all these commentators sound like worn out
Shachar ,   Eilat   (05.31.18)
records playing the same tune for 30 years. 30 years they talk about the economic reconstruction of Gaza.....when is the asimon finally going to drop??? Gaza isn't going to be reconstructed, it's going to continue to be ripped apart like every other area infested by Islamic fundamentalists. Stop feeding the disease already!! Cut all aid, all trade...wall it up and wait for it to die. You're not going to cure it, you're not going to save it, your wasting time and money on a terminally ill rabies patient.
13. You Are So Right
A Simple Jew ,   Beer Sheva   (05.31.18)
Best comment, because it's 100 percent true.
14. a realistic analysis, more hope needed
barry ,   North Providence RI   (05.31.18)
thank you for this realistic analysis, depressing as it is.
There isn't much to hope for in the way of improving the situation but it might help if Israel held out a more compelling vision for Gazans to improve their lives if they gave up the violence. They won;t bite now, but over time it might erode Hamas control and even in the short run it will help Israel's p-r.
15. Arabs and Gaza
cynthia ,   sydney   (06.18.18)
All the World admires strength and wisdom - Israel take note for you have neither.
