Hamas is making plenty mistakes by attacking Gaza
2. I was wrong
DSM ,   USA   (03.19.19)
I previously e-mailed Israel would respond to the two rockets by shelling more empty lots and building. But if one is to believe Fishman's reasoning, Israel will just keep absorbing them as long as it believes the people of Gaza are rising up against Hamas. Does Fishman and worst yet, Israel's government believe the Muslims rising up against Hamas will suddenly love Israel and it's Jewish population? And what happens if one of the so called erratic, short lived rockets does hit an Israeli home, school, hospital or the like?

It is all a shell game by the left to give the current government a reason not to retaliate. Bibi accepts this reasoning because he and the current IDF can do the minimum, as they seem to always wants to do, and hide under the lefts umbrella. Ingenious.
3. "Rocket mishaps" are a hell of a thing...
Cheeky ,   Por La Yenta   (03.19.19)
One minute you're munching on falafel, next you've got a rocket slamming into the restaurant across the street from you. Only in Israel!
4. There’s no pressure
Beep Boop ,   Austin   (03.19.19)
Without a response. This is utterly silly
5. Wet Dreams
James Kanarek   (03.19.19)
Seriously? Opening a serious article with the term 'wet dream' is pathetic and unprofessional. This is not real journalism!
6. The wish of any human being should be destruction of Hamas

7. Why Gazans HAVE HAD ENOUGH
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (03.19.19)
1.Hamas SELF DECLARED 'perpetual' jihad against Israel has resulted in war, more war, death, blockade, poverty and misery and has not advanced statehood and self determination ONE INCH

2.The amounts sqaundered ON WEAPONS, FIGHTERS, TUNNELS and TERRORISM has left virtually NOTHING FOR REBUILDING and INFRASTRUCTURE

3.All Hamas and IJ are interested in is using Gaza as a military dump and base and using Gazans as cheap cannon fodder to play out their deadly macho games

4.The amount of money reputedly milked by the ruling Hamas elite is as STAGGERING as the wealth gap between this elite and the rest of Gaza. With all GOING for Gaza...beautiful coast, offshore oil and gas, fishing, coastal tourism, agricultural and desalination potential, ports, gateway to Magreb and the Saudi Peninsula, location of one of the holiest places in Islam..the site where the prophet drew inspiration to found Islam..ANY WONDER WHY THEY DESPERATELY WANT TO HOLD ON TO THIS GRAVY TRAIN FOR EVER and AT ANY COST?

ENOUGH is ENOUGH
THEIR GRAVY TRAIN DAYS ARE OVER
