Will the Israeli government hold Hamas to the agreement or will it tolerate escalating terrorism? So far Bibi and the leaders look like a bunch of incompetents worthy of being thrown out of power which is why Netanyahu would like to cancel the elections.

hamas dictates whether they fire arson balloons and you sit there like a damn chamberlain meekly acccepting their terms.set southern gaza on fire or wipe out all fuel stations in gaza.

what kind of weakling could come from israeli commando school. you are a disgrace. you are just like neville chamberlain. the 6 miilion roll in their graves at your weakness.

Just shoot this terrorist

TO THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMUNITIES MOVE OUT OF THERE IF YOU CAN. LET THE AREAS BE RECLAIMED BY THE DESERT. GARBAGE GOVT AND GARBAGE IDF. CONTINUE BOMBING EMPTY BUILDINGS. HAMAS WON AGAIN.

the torah teaches that us not to give any benefit to an extortionist as any benefit given to him will only serve for him to do it again for another benefit-----------------in fact , the torah in numbers states "ransom not the life of a murderer"---this is an absolute prohibition as the issue of negotiating is not one of good or bad but bad or worse.

bibi says Israel has to do its utmost to avoid a major war? Why? It has been provoked beyond belief. its restraint has been suffocating.

the reason i believe bibi is alleged to have said this is because he is a coward, yellow to bone, reeking of fear. there is no doubt at all in my mind that he is a coward.

he remains in power because his opponents going back to peres, olmert, and lapid and even gantz are all weaklings. gantz had his chance in the Gaza war and blew it with his weakness.

bennett if far more able than bibi when it comes to security.

Cautiously optimistic. However, stay strong my people. Secret under-ground tunnels and other deadly terrorist activity may very well be in the cards to come. I pray the Iron Wall to stay strong.

i am no fan of bibi. however, i would sooner vote for him than ehud barak.

without a doubt, barak is a brilliant mind, had exploits as a commando early on. however, his arrogance is like that of olmert, they think they know. Israelis suffered like hell under them while their supporters sweep it all under the rug.

even as defense minister under olmert and bibi, he was anemic, just simply anemic.

gantz is correct that barak will prevent voters on the right going over to hi,

finally ashkenazi has only bitterness towards barak. i wonder why.
