Rockets and missilies will be coming from Hamas and Hezbollah/Lebanon. This time its time to have a CLEAR winner and loser. Like the Russians did in Checnya, Israel must use overwhelming force with an outcome that's clear to all watching from the sidelines. A sort of six day war with both the Lebanese and Gaza fronts being oblierated ... it must be. No more halfway measures so they can claim victory is only down the road. They must understand that victory will never come for them - ever.

Ignorant Israeli foreign policy will backfire sooner or later. Israel does not know the resolve of Shiites. This group has not forgotton the death of one of their Imam's over a century ago at the battle of Karbala in Iraq, and still mourn his death every year with such emotions as if he died yesterday. When you stir a hornets nest, you are liable to get a few stings. If you are allergic to bee stings, it might prove to be fatal stings.

Israel will be stung either way, the only solution will be to remove the entire hornets nest

Gaza occupies itself. Now that the jews are out we have no obligations to them whatsoever. They have their own government, they voted for it. They're on their own and if they are drowning in their own garbage it's their problem. Noone is bound to have an open border with them. Not even Egypt.

The Palestinians have full reign of Gaza. Instead of planting food and providing wells of fresh water, they blame Israel for their poverty and justify bombing civilians at will. Israel flourishes becaus of God and hard work. If Allah is real, he leaves you in desolation. You make bombs but cannot feed your children. You blame Israel for your problems, but won't plant a seed of food.

Unlike Fatah, which was beholden to several Islamic countries at once, Hamas is a wholly-owned Iranian proxy. Consequently Gaza, like Lebanon, has become an Iranian colony. And as Hamas's star rises in Judea, Samaria, Jerusalem and within the Israeli Arab community, Iran's influence over events in those quarters rises. This was made clear this week with the revelation that Khaled Kashkoush, an Israeli Arab from Kalansuwa, last month became the latest Israeli Arab arrested for spying for Hizbullah.

Israel should make no concessions to Hamas. The Egypt-Gaza border crossing should be exclusively under the control of Israel. The only second possibility should be the free choice of the inhabitant of Gaza to emigrat to other Arab countries (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). The time has come for these people to stop with politics and terrorism and search for a solution for their families based on well-being and peace. That is the real solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8

the 2006 war was the proof that israel no longer has superiority in the region u better make peace and return all the arab land you occupy including east Jerusalem or the consequences will eventualy be fatal to Israel

We know how they feel about their borders. After they gave one time exception, they are perhaps unlikely to repeat.

yet another pathetic attempt by the Shiite terrorist gangs of Lebanon to divert the focus of the world from the "motherland" Shiite entity nuclear attempt, by speaking loudly against Israel. So predictable, so childish, but also so criminal. Hizbulshit should be removed lick a sick tumor from the Lebanese body. One of Olmert greatest failure was to have lost a golden oportunity by not issuing clear orders how to detsroy these hornets.

Easier said that done pal. Just ask ex IDF General Giora Eiland (the former National Security Council Chairman).

Egypt doesn't want Gaza and was smart enough to say 'no' when Israel wanted to give it back. Maybe Peres and Barak ... "We're giving them Gaza!" "What are they getting in return?". Mike

Perpetual destruction? You're right, we won't, and in the end, others won't either. A hundred years ago, we tried to support you in a genuinely healthy economic destiny, but it doesn't fit in with your cult's charter. Your loss.

So much ignorance about history. Palestine never existied and never will except for Jordan Palestine. 2 states, Israel and Jordan Palestine. The arab know they can never defeat Israel. They also know they use Israel as the scapegoat for the fact they fix nothing in their own countries. The Arab world is almost a complete failure and Israel is almost an absolute success. The Arabs will never win. Israel will never lose. Arabs should make peace with Israel and they will stop losing. Judea and Samaria are part of Israel. There is no land to give back. The only international standing gave it as part of Israel under the League of Nations. There is no interational mandate to create another Arab Palestinian state. Was it occupied from 48-67 from a non existant people? Give me a break. The Arab world and the lies you support are part of a house of cards ready to fall.

Israel is tired of threats and blackmailing from people like you. Just get it into your head, once and for all: Israel has and continues to offer the Palestinians a state on all of Gaza, almost all the West Bank with a corridor between the two, and even territory from inside sovereign Israel to make up for any difference. But this does not and will not include a redivision of Jerusalem or a full return to the '67 lines. Those that lost territory as a result of aggression that they initated can never expect a return to the status quo ante. That is the law of war that has existed since the days of the Homo Erectus. Deal with it, without relaying veiled threats based on abstractions and falsehoods.

What Israel is offering and has been offering will never get better or more generous than it is today, under Olmert: 1. To Syria: You, together with Jordan, and Iraq, decided to open up your own front against Israel in 1967, at a point when it was only fighting on the Egyptian front and gave assurances through the UN that no Arab country would be attacked if it did not attack her. You attacked and you lost the Golan. You attacked again in 1973, and failed to recover the Golan. Despite this, Israel has repeatedly offered to return the entire Golan, up to the 1923 International Boundary. Your leaders have rejected this and demanded the Kinneret shoreline as well. This is without basis, and Israel will never allow you to sit on the Kinneret shore. The 1923 line is the final red line. Take it. It is a better deal by far than you would have received from any adversary in history. 2. To the Palestinians. Jordan, which controlled the West Bank, chose to attack Israel in 1967, despite that Israel even allowed a salvo of honor to let Jordan express its solidarity with Egypt. Jordan lost East Jerusalem and the West Bank to Israel, and Israel reunited the city, never again to be redivided. As for the rest, Israel has offered and continues to offer the PA a state on all of Gaza, almost all of the West Bank, with territorial adjustments to include Israeli land from pre-'67 Israel, and a corridor linking up the two. Palestinian refugees who wish to will be absorbed within the new Palestinian state, not in Israel, in the spirit of 2 states for 2 peoples. Compensation for their material and property losses can only be resolved as a part of the broader issue of compensation, which includes the properties and assets lost by Jewish refugees from Arab lands. This offer is not one based on justice, because it is in fact heavily skewed in your favor. Also, the notion that Israel is required by international law to conduct a full withdrawal to the pre-'67 lines is legally null and void. However, if what you are offering Israel in return is a true, just, lasting, comprehensive peace, Israel and Israelis would go that far for the sake of peace which is in fact the preservation of life, a fundamental precept of Judaism. However, if what you are offering in return is a truce or a feigned peace with the option to realize Israel's destruction in stages or at a later date, Israel's offer is this: Nothing.

Would you please change your name you post by to something other than David, USA? I have been using that for years. I don't want readers to associate me with an anti Yisrael attitude like the one you display. You bring shame to the Kingly name of David. Might I suggest Dave. That is a good American, secular, anti Yisrael name. Better still, why don't you just quit posting to an Yisraeli site. Or another good idea is, just shut up altogether. Signed: A "David USA" that Yhudi'im can count on.

You go on believing that. Tell all your pali friends about it. Advertise in all the Arab countries. Tell Esav and don't forget Amelek. Make sure all of your ilk believe what the man said. That way it will be a surprise when your little dream goes "BOOM!!!!!!"

HOw can they keep fooling the world into thinking there is a bogus siege if Egypt opens its crossing?

Just as it went 'BOOM!!!!' in 2006?
