1. Once again.....
DSM ,   USA   (08.17.18)
politics over security. Do the buffoons negotiating for Israel really believe the world will look kindly upon Israel for anything it does or does not do?
2. Everything in life is either sex or money or... politics.

3. Lucky the don't pressure us to lie down and die.
ged   (08.17.18)

Our neighbour in Europe now mostly secular, formerly "christian" whose hate of the jews was also instrumental for the Holocaust. Even though they have denied G-D; the jews is still detested as he represents G-D's particular asset through both time and space on this planet.
Why put lives, especially our young boys, in danger; to bring peace to our land.
We are being pressured to loose. And to sacrifice our children so that the wolf will go away until its hungry again
Those who pressure us either hate us or have their own agenda, not our interests at heart.
4. Going to war is the last resort after exhausting all options

Look Mr left; Taking over Gaza is a piece of cake. 500 soldiers dead, material damage all over the country and then what? We will have to take responsibility of over 1.5 million parasites, feed them, house them, provide medical care, power, water and fuel. All this on the house as the occupying power. Netanyahu know what he is doing and this is the right thing.
5. STALL FOR TIME
LARRY LISS ,   24 YRS US ARMY VET   (08.17.18)
JEWS ARE NO LONGER IN NEED TO STALL FOR TIME A LOT OF GOOD IT DID IN THE GHETTOS .BRING BACK THE OLD DAYS REMEMBER THE 1967 JUNE PRE EMPTIVE DESTRUCTION OF THE EGYPTION AND SYRIAN AIR FORCE
6. fishman opinions
geroge   (08.17.18)
fishman saying netanyahu doesn't want a war is correct. but he never wants a war even if it is the only recourse. he simply has no appetite for war. he is not good in war, the cost is too heavy, he cannot take casualties as nasrollah correctly points out.

fishman highlights something to discuss-international legitimacy. the world comes down on Israel so to hell with international legitimacy. France and Belgium can go to hell with their opinions. Israel makes a huge mistake considering this as a factor. it should do what it has to do legally. and to hell with macron, the EU head and to hell with mladenov.

7. OK Fishman, point taken.
Brad ,   USA   (08.18.18)
Instead of the alleged stalling, let's have the IDF just kick the living snot out of the Gaza rats nest and be done with it. I know you wouldn't be happy with that either, but I can live with that. Besides, I would be happy with that because Israel would be taking back its land that God gave it, and serving notice that there would be no more "land for peace" scams.
8. Why this shrill shouting about "WAR"? How about taking out
(08.20.18)
one by one (or even better: collectively) the so called leaders of Hamas?
To do that you don't need "500 dead" IDF soldiers...
This is BS, but there must be some actual reasoning behind our inaction??
