"The bigger challenge, which the IDF is still trying to find a solution for, will come later: One of Hamas's hidden aces for the next conflict is a mortar shell that can carry massive 150-200 kilogram warheads, which would be able to destroy entire streets in Israeli communities near the border, cause extensive damage to military posts and kill many soldiers in gathering areas". Well, to build such heavy mortars and shells of 150-200 kg, you need modern workshops and sophisticated, precision and digitilal tools! Equipment that wasn't present of course in the past. How is it present in the Gaza strip today? It could only enter through one place: Kerem Shalom! And with the help, I suppose of Israeli companies, who didn't do it free of charge, I understand. I suppose that Israeli companies did, do or still will do money by delivering cement (for tunnels) Helium gas (for balloons) heavy machenery (for military workshops) on account of present and meanly future Israeli victims, death or maimed ! Israeli Nation, WAKE UP !

Not building schools. Not building hospitals. Not training doctors and nurses and teachers and electricians and plumbers. Not building power plants or desalinization plants or sewage treatment plants.

All your generous donations wasted on this jihadist bullsh-t: that Hamas believes its sole purpose is to destroy Israel. So your money is spent on buying materials to make rockets. To make infiltration tunnels. To buy brand spanking-new uniforms, boots, machine guns, RPG launchers, etc. Your funding has birthed and maintained the Hamas Army. You must be so proud of yourselves.

Will you pay to rebuild again? Pay to keep the Hamas regime in power?

You donors need to ask yourselves a serious question: Do you willingly give Hamas millions upon millions of dollars every year because you want to help the average Arab residing in Gaza? Or do you do it because you know it will prolong their war against Israel?

Since it's well-known for years that most donor money never makes it to the people who most need it, a reasonable person would have to conclude that you simply want to hurt Israel.

Now why would European nations, the largest donors to Hamas, want to harm a little country of Jews?

Looks like European anti-Semitism (oh heck, let's call it what it is: Jew hatred), never went away after WWII, it just changed its face.

Iron Dome activated and anti-missile launched, both missiles blow up at the same time near each other. Question where did all the money go that produced this comedy.

This is pure agression, crime and terror, from the Gaza-Strip, without defending the inhabitants of the Gaza-Strip against Israel. After Israel left the Gaza-Strip unilaterally in 2005, only agression, attacks, crime and terror/terrorism came from Gaza to Israel. In this case Israel has the right also to controll the border of Egypt with the Gaza-Strip, to impose maximum pressure on the Gaza-Strip, if needed, to achieve security and peace, to serve, to defend and to protect all parties and all.

It is totally obvious that Israel's Gaza retreat is the root cause of all the rockets, terror and wars from Gaza. This can't go on. It is way past time for us to admit, as a nation, that we made a big mistake. We wantonly destroyed thriving beautiful Jewish communities in Gaza to help our mortal "Palestinian" foes attack and harm us. This is lunacy. We MUST reverse our disastrous Gaza retreat! The same is also 100% true of our disastrous retreat from out South Lebanon Security Zone.

dagan ex of mossad reportedly called bibi a coward as he was unable to make a decision on anything important. linvi condemns bibi for harming Israeli deterrence by not responding properly and not including abbas in some deal; as if that would achieve anything. she is as ignorant as a doorknob.

Israelis some of them still cling to the notion that bibi is Mr security. shapira condemned bibi in protective edge and rightly so.

now we see it repeated. he holds endless meetings with nothing achieved as he cannot take a decision . Jews are being terrorized in their homes and killed while the df hits empty buildings achieving nothing.

bibi is 100% coward, yellow to the bone. nothing but bad deals can be made by him. smotrich has it right.


hitler is rolling in his grave at the sight of bibi's awful performance.and idf generals are not taking the initiative.

soon you will be begging to have feiglin and Bennett running things. Lieberman has been a major disappointment. he shroud have resigned rather than follow bibi's prescriptions on what to do.

hamas leader is 10 x braver than bibi.That has to be said. and hamas has bibi and lieberman looking like anemic fools.

Israel's govt has wasted the Iron Dome system. Any weapon offensive or defensive can be made obsolete, and the balloons, kites, and sheer volume of simultaneous rockets show the Pals have figured out the vulnerabilities of Iron Dome.

By not paying any attention to the underlying issues and frustrations the blockade causes in Gaza, Israel has squandered the few years of calm Iron Dome gave and now Israel is again under threat.

The Hamas/Fatah political split doesn't show any sign of changing, so rather than hanging onto false hopes of the PA reasserting any control in Gaza perhaps leaders in Israel exist (somewhere) with the imagination to go beyond the rhetoric of the last decade and find a new way to move forward. The Cypress seaport, restoring utilities, having export markets for Gaza produced goods ... anything but the insanity of doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

Iron Dome works well! However, if surrounding peoples do not change for the better, Israel needs to bomb Damascus, Gaza and Ammon. See Jeramiah 49!
