Why is there even any implied moral equivalence between Hamas and Israel? And note how much of the Gaza Aide goes to rockets, tunnels, munitions rather than improving the lives of the residences.

We all need to very clear about what is Right and Wrong here, and not pretend there are really any gray zones. Gaza is a terrorist enclave / protectorate just as the Taliban protected Al Qida. What happened to Al Qida should happen in Gaza.

I heard the following conversation of Hamas asking for help to Arab States: "Mommy, mommy, we were peacefully sitting at home, doing our "good manners class" homework and our Zionist enemy started to hit us hard even though we did absolutely nothing wrong. You know well, dear brothers in faith, that we are peaceful people and never, ever tried to hurt anyone. Please help us. Tell us how to survive. Potatoes are burning here right now and we think we won't have a second chance to call you again..

They are firing randomly trying to kill any Jew. Flatten Gaza and they will think twice next time. They had more than enough chances for ceasefires.

Hamas say grandly?
We will meet silence with silence?

SINCE WHEN...Try telling those LIES to the long suffering people of Gaza...

No sooner we have had a few weeks or months of calm and Gazans get their breath back and try to pick up the pieces then pea brain Sinwar finds some lameless excuse to trigger yet MORE conflict all over again

If its not rocket fire, incendiaries, molotovs, tunnel attacks on one side and IAF retaliation on the other HOW MUCH MORE CAN GAZA TOLERATE?

ENOUGH is ENOUGH. Hamas are a WALKING DISASTER for Gaza and MUST GO

I enthusiastically congratulate the IDF for their masterful strategy in Gaza. The rules of engagement, at last, have changed. Is was time! Finally, Israel will end the instability of the strip in the terms dictated by our government.

The chain of events started on Sunday night has caught Palestinian Arabs completely unprepared, but not only them but also all their sponsors, who after receiving the anguished SOS relayed by Hamas, have no choice but to plug the waterway that Israel has opened in the ramshackle Palestinian destroyer so that it does not sink, as last Thursday it happened to the billionaire state-of-the-art frigate KNM Helge Ingstad (F313) in Sture, Norway.

Just now, Arabs and Europeans, bewildered and astonished, are seeing that their thousand times repeated tricks are no longer useful.

Last August, a British weather forecaster predicted that this coming winter will be especially hard and long in Gaza. I'm sure he will not be wrong.

It is what weak leaders do. Until the next Hamas bombardment and the same scenario will play itself out. Bibi's brother must be rolling in his grave.

Lived here for 37 years.A nation divided is the result of too powerful religious domination and greedy occupation.
As a farmer 6kms from the Gaza border and 7kms from the Egyptian border I know what I'm.talking about.We have made more mistakes than anybody else

short break before continuing terrorist activities

Looks like Israel is being blackmailed by a terror group to restrain itself, Hamas seems to be calling all the shots- when fighting starts, when fighting stops, how far rockets can go. Israel needs a leadership who will show who is in charge and it's not this group who prefers meetings to beating the enemy.

PM Netanyahu is absent one day from Israel and suddenly a war that nobody could have foreseen breaks out. Frightened, he has no choice but to return home at full speed to put out the flames that an arsonist has lit.

The Hamas' suckers, who because knowing well the soft and sweet temperament of our PM every Friday celebrate the world-famous Festivals of Light and Sound of Gaza, have immediately demanded him that the crazy DM Liebermann be summarily fired from the cabinet.

But I don't think our DM has given any specific order. He's also a man of soft and sweet character who, suddenly, has been seen sitting on a burning armchair.

Then, a question arises:

Whose was the cool idea to launch the very special operation of Khan Younis precisely on the 14th anniversary of Arafat's death, knowing that on that very day the PM would be in Paris?

Probably, there will never be a plausible answer, but if there was a man behind, he would deserve to be named DM and Field Marshal of the IDF at the same time.

What is clear is that whatever happens, things will never be the same again.

Hamas is clearly the one who calls the shots. They decide when the bombing should start and when it ends. Israel has it hands tight by someone, most likely the US. I feel sorry for the people in the South who are the ones who suffer.

Incompetent generals must be fired. The government acts upon their advice.
Time and time again he proved to be a complete failure..

The definition of antisemitism is a double standard against the Jewish people.

Cant get more hypocritical than this. Any free nation who doesn't specifically condemn Hamas is no different to them.

Even during the holocaust the European nations were not funding the intended mass murderers of Jews, as they are today.

If the ceasefire is finally reached today, the People of G-d will have won the shortest war ever waged in the history of mankind: The War of the 36 Hours.

In so few time the alleged Palestinian people has quickly swallowed the sorest lesson of their brief history, a lesson as hard, long and sharpened as a double-edged sword.

Precise is to recognize now that they are very fast understanding the important things in life.

And we will owe all that to the great valour of Lt. Col. Mem and his select squad of extraordinary men.
