who gives a damn about your empty threats?

The Gazans also hold some Israelis. What Israel should do is go in an arrest 500 Gazans and demand the release of the Israeli prisoners and the cessation of all attacks. If after 30 days and no response then 1,000 arrested. And the people arrested should be the businessmen, political leaders and heads of families.

otherwise incomprehensible behavior towards a bunch of primitive thugs.
What, don't we have enough F35s, tanks, submarines to make Hamas howl& beg for mercy?!
Is our nuclear arsenal insufficient?!
This is criminal behavior on the part of our government.
Enough with this "Only Bibi" nonsense.
Let the man have his well earned retirement.

"Psychological" NOT "Physiological", Mr. Yehoshua.

Let them have their airport, their seaport. Let them have free access to world markets. Let them trade with the world.

Let them do everything they want to do as long as Israel is not touched.

On the Israeli side, build up the border- parallel walls, 3 meters tall and 50 meters apart. Anything in that area is immediately terminated, anything, no questions asked or allowed.

And, after giving Hamas everything it has asked for to improve the lives of the Gazans, announce that any rocket/missile/drone/incendiary device coming over (or under) the border will result in a declaration of war by Israel on Hamas and the total destruction of everything with a kilometer of the border on the Gaza side and that Israel will annex that area in perpetuity, never to be given back for any reason.

Israel should walk away from babysitting the thugs of Gaza and let them prove to the world that they can improve the lives of the people of Gaza.

With that new freedom comes great responsibility. If they use it to import weapons, they will pay a dear price for ever using them. The world will know that when they had their chance to prove what they could do with a blank check, they chose to abuse it.

Build a stronger border, remove all restraints on Gaza commerce, let them build their ports and airports, let them prove their intentions to the world.

If they use their new freedom for jihadist activities and attack Israel, then they know up-front that a portion of Gaza one kilometer wide will be annexed by Israel and lost to Gaza forever and the border will be moved to secure it.

Prosperity or war. Put the opportunity on the table and the entire world can watch what happens, will they choose life or will they choose death?

The Gaza Strip belongs to Israel. Israel has the fullest right to launch a campaign, for the further establishment and security of Israel. Let the "islam" Arabs go to Mecca for good,because of their crimes since 1948. Same goes for Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the Golan Height and the land south of the Litaniriver. Lebanon has the land north of that river.

Not until Israel finds a leader totally devoted to nationalism will Israel be able to launch a meaningful campaign and not stop at the first casualty on either side.

The news from Israel worse than ever..They must wake up before it is too late

katz errs when he says bibi will target terror leaders in gaza, and ultimately launch massive operation to take gaza apart.He will do none of the kind. He is a weak man who cannot win against hamas and hezbollah. he would say he is acting responsibly and produce a ceasefire achieving all of Israel's goals. He is full of it. he will make no dent in adversaries view of him. they see him as weak and gutless.That is why they want him to win.

when bibi says he would take vigorous action, sinwar cannot keep himself from laughing. bibi thinks by using big words, he can actually impress hamas and hezbollah. what a joke!


enemies keep getting stronger and amassing varied and huge volumes of armaments.Yet he has accomplished his goals. he is a fish out of water. he is no warrior in the mold of Sharon. forget about it. put any pressure on him and watch him wilt. BIbi is a man of words,not guns and bullets.If you have not figured this out by now, you are a bunch of suicidal schmucks!.

in the election to come, vote for bennett and shaked.

gantz will do not much as we saw in the Gaza war. he is not the answer nor is lapid.

vote for bennett and shaked. give new leadership a chance. Israel needs to go on the offense which has not been doing since sharon. you have no choice if you want to survive and prosper.

you brought weak olmert and now weak bibi to the pm job. you are responsible for his their failures in security. correct your errors and surprise the elections by giving yamini party with shaked and bennett 20 or more seats. then after the election, bibi should be kicked out, and yaminin should join with likud and Lieberman to form the govt.

Fool me once ...shame on YOU.
Fool me TWICE...shame on ME

The drones are not the disease. They are one of many symptoms. Like all Israel's Gaza wars, terror, incendiary kites etc. The disease is Israel's mad retreat from Gaza. The cure is to retake Gaza permanently and rebuild our beautiful thriving Gaza communities we so insanely destroyed and abandoned.
