Israel will prevail.

Ask Israel for a ceasefire and stop firing rockets.

This will be the deciding factor for America to decide if she will support Israel or not.

They were forewarned,as was the world by Mr. Netenyahu not to take up More Violence. The Islamist were emboldened by Mr. Obama's re-election, after all ,He was given the Nobel Prize , and like Chamberlain he would seek "Peace in Our Time"-So effen SAD!

one in the eye for Hamas. Good

Jordan is the next nation to fall to the islamonazis leaving Israel exposed to attack from all flanks. It will soon be up to Obama to prevent this thing from escalating into a full scale war and possibly nuclear disaster.

" Ask Israel for a ceasefire and stop firing rockets. "

Hamas will ask Israel for a "ceasefire" the moment that they have run out of rockets and see no more propaganda value in Israels`s response. Not before that. And Netanyahu will comply.

As usual, Israel will succeed militarily, but lose the propaganda battle.

Once again, the article headline is incredibly misleading. Israel is not "bombarding" the Gaza strip. If they were, the whole place would be turned to rubble. They are very selectively targeting Hamas missile launching sites, most of them strategically placed next to mosques, hospitals, or kindergartens.

Once Israel hits one of those (which is of course what Hamas hopes for), wait for the eruption of propaganda, which our media will pick up.

The guy doesn't have that much power. If he did, then it shouldn't have happened in the first place. He is going to do nothing. Because he can't take sides against the Arab nations. The Arab Spring did away with rulers who kept the peace with Israel.

If Syrian and Jordan falls then the Middle East will be under the MB rule. That's called democracy??

Nice! Violence! Violence and more violence! When will these people ever learn??

-1 ( +1 / -2 )

When will Hamas and other anti-Israel fanatics ever learn: don't pick a fight with the Israelites. Believe we are going to see another big rear-end kicking by angry Israel military personnel.

According that article, Israel bombarded 300 air strikes for four days operation. It was too much for minor conflict. If there is real war like 1967, Israel will use nuke for wiping out all Arabs from that Planet. In my humble opinion, Israel used excessive force without restraint and maximizing the civilian casualty as much as possible. No wonder many babies corpses were lying on the Gaza roads according CNN, ABC and BBC. If they spent a missile for wiping out one militant, I can not imagine what sort of WMD they will use for combating with real arm forces of Neighbors.

It is so cruel, merciless, blood thirsty and in-humane. According the movie Passion of Christ, that people were responsible for slaughtering Son of God. Jewish priest swore that he will carry forward the blood sheds to future generation in that movie. It has become reality in Middle East now.

So that is 170 from Hamas vs 950 bombs from Israel.

Obama has already made it clear that his sympathy is with the Muslim Brotherhood. I only hope that Israel can survive the next 4 years.

So you would be OK if Israel responded tit for tat to Hamas rockets, firing one back into population centers each time Hamas shoots?? Good grief.

"Obama has already made it clear that his sympathy is with the Muslim Brotherhood"

Yes perfectly clear. Obama, as a devout Muslim born in Mecca, naturally favours the Muslim Brotherhood. He's actually an honorary member, and why he was banned from the Skull and Bones Society.

Willi, seriously, you're starting to sound like the mad conspircay guy on the Syria threads.

Death to the infidels!

I see you started counting only when Israel retaliated. Before that it was about 1000 from Hamas and 0 from Israel.

At the Democrat convention 2012, the plateform have originally taken out God and Jerusalem. The plateform only included back God and Jerusalem after the Republicans critizied it. At the Democrat convention, the Democrats voted a majority of NOs 3x aginst God and Jerusalem. The majority of American Jews sides with the Democrat ideology.

My President Is Busy by THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN @ http://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/11/opinion/sunday/friedman-president-obama-is-busy.html?ref=thomaslfriedman&_r=0

My answer to Israelis is this: You should be so lucky...You should be so lucky that the president feels he has the time, energy and political capital to spend wrestling with Bibi to forge a peace between Israelis and Palestinians. I don’t see it anytime soon. Obama has his marching orders from the American people: Focus on Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, not on Bethlehem, Palestine, and focus on getting us out of quagmires (Afghanistan) not into them (Syria). No, my Israeli friends, it’s much worse than you think: You’re home alone.
