Hizbollah and Hamas are Iranian subsidized organizations; those who are unaware of that basic fact should be embarrassed to opinionate here.

Undoubtedly all designed by Nancy Pelosi and the congress? Sorry pal, the rest of the taxpayers will have to subsidize those politically correct windmills, solar panels, batteries and electric cars, manufactured by overpaid AAU workers, the same way as they subsidize the big 3 now.
Can´t dream your way out of reality.

It is hard topic to comment, because hardly a president had such a combination of a) unique world political challenge, b) verbal clumsiness and c) pathological hatred from almost the entire media corp.
So, the scale from "one of the best" to "worst" means nothing unless explained to compared to what.

jeancolmar:
Untrue. There never was "peace overture" from Hamas in December, or at any other time. Hamas has never even recognized the right of Israel to exist; Hamas charter clearly states that its sole goal is to destroy the "zionist entity" as they call Israel.

Jeancolmar:
No, it does not. Firstly, the body count is conducted by the Hamas, so you have to take the ratio of "combatants" to "civilians" with a huge bucket of salt.
Secondly, the low body count in itself is astonishing and shows how carefuylly the IDF proceeds. Nothing would be easier than to lob grenades into the densely populated area as "punishment", killing tens of thousands without any risk, the way e.g. Assad dealt with the muslim brotherhood in Hama.

You suggest equality here. There is no such thing. Hamas is calling for the destruction of the Jewish state -- Israel only wants its citizens to go about their lives without being attacked with rockets every day. Unreasonable?

Why all this hatred among so many JT commentators? I am no fan of her, but among all the vacuous clowns on TV here, she was not the worst, to the contrary.

In the event, the bodies of two Hamas militiamen, Imad Abu Askhar and Hassan Abu Askhar, were found in the school. They had been firing mortars at the IDF from the school. But don´t expect Pallywood or the CNN to report that.

All that Gazans need to do to get open borders, free travel, and unlimited economic benefits is to elect someone else but the terror organization Hamas as their government.
No nation is obliged to aid a neighbour who has sworn to destroy it.

Not if you were an enemy of Saddam. But yes, otherwise you are right. Saddam certainly kept a lid on the islamists. That was the stupidity of the Bush advisors -- believing that by removing Saddam, they would create a liberal democracy.

My heart goes out for the poor whalers. Finally, they get a well deserved chance to carry out their much-needed research into the area of best sushi from endangered species.

Nope, it isn`t. Israel is not sworn to wipe its neighbours off the map; it is the muslim neighours who want to destroy the Jewish state.
Read some history before spouting. Before Israel was established, Palestine was a British protectorate, with both Jewish and muslim populations.

The UN never warned of a crisis while Hamas was sending 7000 rockets into Sideroth and Ashkelon. Hypocrits.
