1. “The latest round of fighting in Gaza left many Israeli
Ken   (11.24.18)
kids stuck in safe rooms and shelters for days; one of the ways in which they keep themselves busy is drawing” not to mention the plus million kids on the other side of the border who don’t have bomb shelters or safe rooms or even a proper diet, or paper to draw on, or pencils,crayons or paint. Who , if they do go outside near the border are shot at by snipers. Who are blockaded by land, sea and air, just to make sure things don’t improve by a people who need a place to test their weapons.Weapons that are given to them to help perpetuate a war. A war which helps make a few weapons manufacturers rich far away from the war, in America . Oh yes, the poor children in the bomb shelters. Like America give a shit.
2. Half of the image
(11.24.18)
Ahh sweet, but maybe we can talk about the children who lives inside Gaza,
And what a sound of F-16 bombing your neighbor sounds like?
3. this is not good-netanyahu should resign.
manny   (11.24.18)
what does never again actually mean to Jews? It seems that some Israeli leaders have forgotten this vow. praying for peace, being good scholars, being nice diplomats is not enough.

there are no easy answers. however, scaring Jews, harming them should demand a heavy price on the perpetrators since they won't stop.

why is it that for the most part, Arabs are scared to death of the Russians?

Yes. holding firm sometimes involves restraint. but in this case Hamas has not gotten the message.

netanyahu should resign. lapid, livni and gabbay are hopelessly ill- equipped to handle this problem; since they would enact policies that would bring more carnage to Israelis.

netanyahu should resign for the good of the Israelis. he should take his Sara and leave the scene,. just as olmert had to resign and took his family away. this would be good for Israel.

Paradoxically, if not for the Arabs, and this involves much blood, broken bodies and twisted flesh, the Jews would still be defenseless. Arabs have forced Jews to militarize.
4. immediate problem-get the 500,000 haredi into the idf
eral   (11.24.18)
an urgent problem for israel is the 500,000 haredi. they must have defense skills. praying and learnning is not enough in the face of bullies. their rabininic leaders need to be forced to agree to military service or put in jail. they prepetuate the image of a defenseless jew. the current state is not good for them, not good for israel, not good for god who says , i help those who help themselves.
5. The government fails on her basic mission.
Alon Smith ,   Tel aviv   (11.24.18)
The government fails on her basic mission.
If children on the south need to grow up with anxiety the government failed on her basic mission and legitimation.
One of the purpose for established state it for bring security for the civilians.
Before all the reasons and justifications to bring power for state its self-security against enemies.
if the government can't supplies security for her civilian's she need to replace.
Therefore the children of the south need to know and feel that strong army would protect them when enemy shot rockets of them.
To build this self-security the government needs to confirm to the army to fight in Gaza after they shoot rockets.
This is the first medicine for the children of south and for the adults from all country.
The clear knowledge that Israel state have the power to attack Gaza for their rockets it's knowledge build the health fillings of confidence that - maybe I am on hard situation but I have the skills to resolve it.
The situation that the government didn't bring the army to fight it sick and infects the regular civilians up to the children.
The government must to know from this article that when they choose to restrain their is huge price they need to pay. They lose their basic legitimation by the indication of the felling of children can't trust on the state.
