Ok, and since when didn't the Israelis have a so called green light to do as they please in that part of the world??

Translation: "If we want to, we will just go into Gaza and kill everyone, then take their land." The world is sitting by, quietly. All this because Palestine wanted to follow the democratic and civil path.

Of course the world is sitting by quietly with Syria; why wouldn't they do the same with Palestine?

I support Israel. If those clowns want to send rockets over the border, then send in teh troops once again. Go Israel.

sumgai,

Real translation: "Don't send rockets into Israel or you will be very sorry."

Be nice if the militants listened this time around.

The Islamic Jihad faction was behind the initial rocket attacks. On Sunday the militant faction agreed to stop the violence if Israel also did.

Seems like the better choice would have been to not fire the rockets in the first place, but then again they wouldn't have been able to create headlines about Israel's response had they not done so, so in the end I suppose it paid off for them.

Maybe the militants are a bit angry at Abbas so they've decided to just start blowing things up again since it's the only response their brains are able to calculate.

I do not want to have Hamas and the rest of the Arab world against me, but would it not be easier to get all the Palestinians OUT of Gaza and OUT of the West Bank, say ship them over to Egypt etc..with their own people and let the Jews have Israel, instead of the mess that it is now?? They both hate each other right?? The Muslims, the Arabs hate the Jews, the Jews hate the Arabs etc.. MURI DAYO! Time to think out side of the box I say. Time to give up this BS dream that these 2 tribes can ever live in peace, they both have way too much hate and too much hate will only eat you up from the inside. NMRK.

Ship them with a million dollar each, ok, maybe with a million euro, give them a passport and i would move out of my home. Home is where i live. Not where my parents were born. We live in a new world now. International marriages. Religion going away. People free to live and work in most of the world. I say to mexico, it may work. So, dont worry. I wont come after you.

naruhodo, seems you're a bit weak at maths. Do you really believe Israel could stem a sum 17 times it's GDP (if I take your million dollar as a basis)? And which countries would be willing to take 4 million immigrants within a short timeframe? Independent from whether you are able to convince people to move out when you give them enough money, there are some very basic questions which you probably cannot answer.

Deja vu!

Let the replay begin: Finally, the Israeli population is so p1ssed off with the daily rocket bombardement from Gaza that they demand action. Finally, the IDF reacts. The international press, which has studiously ignored the rocket attacks from Gaza, will now srping into action and condem the Israeli "war" against Gaza.

And Hamas will start to feed the media all the gory pictures of dead Gazan babies killed by the IDF (somehow, the IDF only manages to kill cute babies and innocent civilians, just wait for it), and the media will gobble up the stories and splash them on the front pages.

And all the muslim governments in the region will close shoulders and condemn.. Israel only.

We have been there before how many times? Now we go again.

So Hamas is pissed because Abbas got Palestine recognized by UNESCO, making Hamas look like terrorists by comparison (which they are), so they lob some more rockets to piss off the Israelis, who, already pissed off by UNESCO, are looking for a way to prove that they are in control. Is Abbas the only reasonable one here, now? Yeah, deja vu all over again.

How do you come up with bizarre stuff like this? Israel actually removed every single Jewish settlement from Gazah (including villages that had been there long before there was a Gaza strip, hoping for peace.

Instead of peace, they got Hamas and daily rocket attacks. How would you feel living in a town that is targeted by rockets from across the border several times a week?

Wow, people are amazingly ignorant and uninformed here. Jews had their land, exact to the 1967 Geneva accord. But no, they wanted more so they took West Bank and just started moving people in - that's akin to me kicking in your door and declaring "I live here now, if you try to get me out, I'll kill you". Naturally the people are angered by it, many of whom had their houses illegally destroyed by Israelis now live in Gaza. It's also hilarious that you mention the rocket attacks while ignoring the many who have been killed by Israel's army. I guess if you put on a military uniform or a suit, you are automatically legit...should you choose another outfit then you are automatically a terrorist or a militant - ignoring the fact that both of those people do exactly the same thing.
