'Israel will defend itself from Gaza rockets, regardless of Goldstone'

It looks like you have enough freedom and wealth to have a choice to live in the snowy Alps. Now you see the difference freedom makes. What kind of freedom does hamas supply ?

not during his life,though. There is a biblical reference during Jesus' transfiguration which occurred in present day Israel. That reference pointedly refers to the spiritual Moses and Elijah "talking" with Jesus presumably on or near Mt. Tabor which is clearly in Israel. What we do not know is where Moses was buried by God-it's incomprehensible, though, that God would bury Moses outside of the "promised land".

big time. True, there will be many fronts but Israel's friend, God ,can handle that very easily. So, wrapping up, the world can never successfully dictate to Israel where it can place its borders. Obama, currently the world's ultimate misguided idealogue, is sowing the seeds of his own failure.

this is the count-down senario for the big confrontation which is creeping into the region .war-mongers are preparing to turn the region into fire-ball and create havok and instability . they are determined to control the region and world .confrontation will be on many fronts and it will be savage and bloody . lots of innocent people will be badly hurt .

Innocent people being murdered daily by Hamas and this must be put to a stop.

Your quite wrong about Israel not being capable of stopping the rocket fire. You would have been right to say it did not. Israel could have completely destroyed Gaza, used as others have pointed out the Churchillian strategy of eliminating the problem. She didn't for a myriad of reasons. However, I'm quite sure that if renegade groups started up in Israel with a mission of killing as many Pals as possible, they would get nowhere and would be dealt with severely. The difference is one of degree. Hamas's approach to dealing with renegades is relaxed chastisement and finger wagging unless and until their leaders are threatened.

and then he did not notice Hamas had chosen to fight amongst their civillians without uniforms. It did not stop him from expressing his prejudices before he even got there.

unfortunately nobody told the Arabs that. Not even in 1948 1920 or 1830,they decided they owned it all a bit like Kashmir.

Your comment # 111 - I agree. There is no place in the world for that attitude Your comment # 112 - Sorry you are incorrect. It has never been about occupation. Occupation according to the UN started in the post 6 Day War period. In other words as a result of land taken in 1967. But the Hebrew/Jewish people have been persecuted and attacked by the Arab/Moslems as early as the late 19th century. Much earlier than that but no need to go back so far. I made my point.

prepared to recognise?

ago?

A rocket for a rocket, maybe this will not draw criticism from the "well meaning" countries and hopefully will be considered as an proportionate reaction.It will also be much cheaper than cast lead.

to no. 13- wasseem, you are absolutely right!

no. 98, you are a complete idiot!

you advise me of your address and I will send you a brain-cell, to balance the other one you have. Other than that, maybe you would prefer some marbles to play with in order to give you something to do, more in keeping with your thinking abilities.

many as intended.?

Only 28 people have died from rocket attacks in 8 YEARS. Around 40 IDF soldiers commit suicide in ONE year. Israelis have very poor priorities when it comes to risk analysis.

Do you really believe the conspiracy theories that you post. If so then I would recommend that you get professional help as soon as possible for your delusions.It seems that there is no bottom to haters like you and Lintwaite (self hating jew). It does not matter what happens it is always the "Jews". It would be interesting though if you could post your twisted thoughts on how the Israeli goverment set up this poor Thai worker (for who you express no sympathy) to die by a quassam strike from Gaza and to even express the idea that that the Israeli goverment was responsible for the bus bombings is a vicious insult to the victims and their families. You always talk about our dealings with the "Goyim" and let me say that you and your kind make me so very gratefull to be able to live and bring up my family in Israel far, far away from "Goyim" like you. Passover is near and I will expect to see a post from you about the usual "Blood Libel"accusations.

??

Did the thousands of civilians who worked at the WTC realize that they were going into a possible war zone. Every time you get on a plane it seems that you are entering a possible war zone. It seems that everywhere in the world today is a possible war zone because of the actions of the fanatical muslim jihadist terrorists who you support. You bet that they pay these people "slave wages'. Can you back up that accusation or is that just your biased slanted thoughts. There are thousands of Thai workers in Israel doing the jobs that were once done by Palestinians. You should be asking why the Palestinians (who enjoyed working for your so called slave wages)no longer work in Israel. The reason that the alerts "did not go off" is that the quassam landed in an open field on a kibbutz where there are no alerts and not in Sderot. They say that ignorance is bliss so you must be an extremely happy person. Do some research, maybe read a book before you post your hate filled rubbish.

from protecting itself. Nor did he say that Israel shouldn't.

It always seems odd to me that Hamas is able to disclaim responsibility for rocket attacks,yet it's always the same locally made rockets that are used. I don't believe Hamas.At the very least there must be a high level of coordination and sharing of materiel. Hamas should be held responsible for each and every attack from Gaza. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!

Kill all Palestinians? Isn't that anti-semitic?

Many military experts the world over disagree with Goldstone's assertions claiming Israel committed war crimes (indeed, if we accept Goldstone's definition, it means that almost every general who led troops in any major conflict of the 20th century is also a "war criminal" rendering the concept meaningless). That said, everyone agrees that the unrestricted use of artillery on civilians IS a war crime. Instead of treating Palestinians like children and obfuscating, the world should continue to assert this basic principle.

It's time for ISRAEL to REACT don't worry about political agendas with other countries, a good offensive is the best defense!

Soon all non-jews will be wiped out of Israel and our home shall be ours.

How can these Palestinian KILLERS run a State. All they know is grafting, living for the past 60 yrs of handouts from the West and killing people. Abu Masan you are responsible for these killers.

I keep reading all this utter BS about "Illegal Occupation." The last Sovereign nation on this land was Judah/Israel and Jews have been continuously living on the land for 3000-4000 years even before the Arabs came, and even before Islam was invented. Given that there was NEVER another nation since the last sovereign nation until 1948, everyone else (except the Jews) are squatters and encroachers.

So if we accept The Goldstone Report's assertion that the Palestinians have committed war crimes by firing bottle rockets at Israel. Are we to assume that the accusations against Israel during Operation Cast Lead are also correct, and that Israel has also committed war crimes?

Interesting how both are silent and mitchel is still flying over rather than delaying it last week over israeli's building of home. I guess firing rocket to kill people is ok with liberals. Israel should wait until mitchel lands and then unleash attacks on gaza. If mitchel or obama say a word about the israeli response then both should be banned from israel for the next year.

There is an old expression better to let them think you are afool As you say something stupid #86, then to open your mouth and prove it. Titling yourself as say something stupid merely proves that you are.... indeed

per usual ppl like Mr Linthwaite say that maybe Israel killed this Gentleman and how timely it is withthe UK Parliamentarian Just coming into Gaza, try this for size... An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently at the U.N. and made the world community smile.  A representative from Israel began:    'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses.   When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a  good opportunity to have a bath!'  He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock  and entered the water.    When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had  vanished.  A Palestinian had stolen them.'    The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What  are you talking about?  The Palestinians weren't there then.'    The Israeli representative smiled and said "And now that I have made  that clear, I will begin my speech

..fool is more accurate

Here is a perfectly clear example of unprovoked Palestinian aggression that is also a war crime. Goldstone said shooting rockets at civilians is a war crime. Amnesty International and HRW also concluded this is a war crime. We do not hear anything from the Palestinian leadership condemning this war crime. We do not hear any demands from the Palestinian leadership for the immediate resumption of peace talks with no pre-conditions. If the Palestinians truly wanted peace, they wouldn't be shooting rockets at civilians and killing them. The Palestinians are the aggressors here - let's get some war crimes charges going for this crime of murder of an innocent man.

G'd.

its a given anything you say is stupid idiot

If you work and live in occupied land you are in danger.

You say Israeli occupation is the cause of all. Go back to pre-67, before the so-called occupation. There still wasn't peace but only screams to wipe the jews off. It is by trying that that Jordan lost the westbank and jerusalem was liberated. Note that tehre was no palestine in the west bank then.

there IS NO Palestine... An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently at the U.N. and made the world community smile.  A representative from Israel began:    'Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Moses.   When he struck the rock and it brought forth water, he thought, 'What a  good opportunity to have a bath!'  He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock  and entered the water.    When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had  vanished.  A Palestinian had stolen them.'    The Palestinian representative jumped up furiously and shouted, 'What  are you talking about?  The Palestinians weren't there then.'    The Israeli representative smiled and said "And now that I have made  that clear, I will begin my speech

If it takes half a brain, how on earth did you ever figure it out?

The delay in reacting has nothing to do with Goldstone, whose name is always good to distract attention. Catherine Ashton's in Gaza at the moment which means that all our ministers can do is bay at the moon until she's safely home and tucked up in bed.

Get the BORDERS defined. The rest will fall into place. Your either building in Israel or in Palestine. Get it? You better. Salaam/Shalom

that is not theirs. most of this land was Jewish neighborhoods that the Jordanians confiscated in 48 and the Israeli's took it back. The settlers are not settlers they are legal owners. The Pal arab with no history no culture is trying to claim land which isn't theirs and the west goes along with it. Obama has made it worse but the world needs to know that the Arabs have no right to any part of that land

your Mickey Mouse "rockets". Now we israelis(victim) can send you some of our lethal answers to teach you a lesson!

The so called alleged tension between the US and Israel is just a ruse to fool the Arabs that the US is impartial in its dealings in the Middle East. LOL. Anybody with eyes and half a brain knows America backs Israel in anything and everything Israel does.

Imagine United States criticizing England or Japan. It would be like encouraging their enemies. An allay has to behave as an allay.

The prevailing theory is that the row between US/Israel shows weakness and the enemies are taking advantage. BUT, let's consider where the trouble is coming from. Who was responsible for the "unfortunate timing" of the East Jerusalem building project? Right-wing extremist. Now there's the traditional extremist/terror group, Hamas firing rockets. It looks to me like extremists on both sides are afraid due to the apparent seriousness of the Obama administration to resolve the conflict and they are sabotaging it as quickly as possible.

It's the Arabs actions that have caused the Israeli reactions Israel didn't start the '49 war, or the '56, or '67 or '73

Habibi...which foreign invader ? As I read the story the dead man is a migrant worker. So whether the people be Israeli Jews or European Jews African Jews or a non-Jewish migrant worker...we are all the same foreign invaders!!!

israel challenges again and again and in the end someone responds. but who ever launched this rocket had the precise intent of sabotaging something very important. why now, during lady ashton's visit to gaza?

Your response is pure evil. Your hatred for Israel shows no bounds. This poor man was killed by a QASSAM get it! By Hamas get it!

The old, I didn't do it the other guy did it trick, is back! This way Hamas can claim they are honoring a truce while rockets continue to fall on civilian targets. This what the PLO did in the 1980's and it worked well. With the PLO, Hamas,Fatah, Al-Aqsa martyrs brigade etc., one group would claim a truce and nothing really changed. The attacks kept coming just the name of the group changed. So now we have " Ansar al-Sunna" the perfect alibi for Hamas, or they can claim Fatah is doing it to make them look bad or whatever! The bottom line: Attacks against civilians is a war crime.

""Afterall if Israel is prepared to kill people in Dubai, then Israel would be prepared to kill an innocent Thai civilian in Israel and then blame it on the Palestinians."" Your comments tell us a lot more about you Mr Linthwaite and your prejudices than what is happening on the ground in the Middle East.Don't understand why Haaretz allows posts like yours but your comments belong to the gutter extreme right racist press and neo nazi websites rather than in an Israeli Newspaper

When any people are blockaded, persecuted, humiliated and evicted from their lands, they have every right to resistance. For those from the US or Europe who are saying that Pals kill civilians indiscriminately, then why don?t you provide them with precision munitions, like you do to Israel, so that they can target military sites?? You are happy for them to be blockaded but don?t want them to resist. Is that what US and EU citizens would do if they were also being bombed, starved and denied any contact with the outside world by another people?? Talk about utter hypocrisy. Let?s not forget that Israel holds all the cards to this situation and can have peace whenever it is willing to do so. In the meantime, Palestinians will have to put up with their suffering and resist in any way they can!

Hamas is the governing body in Gaza. They choose not to exersize controll over those sending rockets into Israel, Therefore they are to be held accounatable. If the shoe were on the other foot where rockets were being fired into Gaza by residents of Southern Israel, the world would be in an uproar of indignation.

Did it eve occur to you that that is exactly what would happen if the arabs stopped acting like lawless savages? Schmuck.

I am sure mossad used a fake USA passport with the name Joe Biden.

Obama has shown his ignorance in the way he instructed his administration to lash out at Israel. The rioting in Jerusalem can be directly linked to his comments. The rocket from Gaza today is also linked to the rioting therefore Obama has some responsibility for the attack today.

Palestine will be liberated, like Ireland. Happy belated saint patricks everyone, man I'm still a bit hangover from last night.

is pure Israel hatred. You are an anti semite. i am not even going to respond to your nonsense

...and when are you Horst and your Austrian State going to own up to your part in the holocaust? ....or I suppose you were also victims!!!!

Or have you finally become a lunatic? Did you really think no one would ever be killed when thousand of missiles have been fired over the last few years? You are evidence of the delusions antisemites will grasp at in order to get the world to conform to their warped point of view.

Let's have none of it.

Again Hamas targets civilians, a "war crime". But don't look for any outrage on the part of the anti-Israel writers. If the IDF kills a Pal they are compared to Nazi's but if the Pals kill Jews it's OK in their book. Only the Pals are allowed to commit premeditated murder under the guise of "resistance" a euphemism for "terrorism". Think about what precipitated this "crisis"? Israel simply announced plans to build 1600 housing units (apartments) and the Pals respond with riots and rocket attacks that kill people. Just like the cartoons of Muhammad published in some European papers sparked worldwide riots that killed dozens. They think violence is the answer to all disagreements and use it to intimidate the world. They escalate issues into violence then attempt to blame Israel, sadly many here fall for this old trick.

these people are bringing them into possible war zones? I bet they pay these poor people slave wages. Amazing how the alerts didnt go off this time isnt it?

Israel is not a foreign invader, we live here.we don't run like you did

"You go work over there by that big black X in the dirt and just stay working in that spot for the next 10 to 15 minutes" says Avram the settler. "Ill be right back, I have to sneak into Gaza...err I mean go to the Kibbutz and get some nice fresh plum tomatoes for your salad at lunchtime. Dont Move!"

Foreign invaders?who are you talking about?the jewish people? I think you have your ideas a little mixed up and if you think that the quarrel with America has given you all the right to fire rockets at random at innocent civilians,you are wrong. Your last name,try and use it's meaning,if you know what it means.

Whether an Israeli, a Palestinian, a migrant worker or even a terrorist, this person, who's only crime was to be out working for his family, has a name, an identity, a nationality and a family. So who is he? Let's hear his name and something about him & his history. We should respect him by at least knowing who he is and something about him. We should also know who Hamas has killed this time. Maybe an investigative reporter could do some work on this.

You are very cynical Ivor. With such anti- social qualities, do you have any friends?

It should of been Goldstone instead.

How about improving your spelling?

Better accuracy, bigger message.

SO QUAINT..

even preaches!!!Do you mean Israel killed an Israeli?

IS there any part of the israeli/jewish hatred and non-acceptance of palestine that you are able to comprehend??? u israelis are so stupid and blinded. try and look at things from the other person's perspective for once.

Dont you think that the crux of the problem is illeagal occupation -1967.

What for? Why should they condemn Hamas.They are biased against the Jewish State. One day the Almighty will judge them G d bless Israel & the Jewish people Amen

....in Gaza that want to make trouble. Even Israel wasn't capable of stopping all rocket fire, when they were still occupying Gaza, so far Hamas has done a pretty good job, but they have to remain on guard. I feel sorry for the migrant worker, but there are probably safer places on this planet to look for work than the vicinity of Gaza.... ....unfortunately not everybody has a choice.

to descredit Hamas whilst the EU Foreign Minister is visiting could be a reasonable commentary of what just happened. Just unfortunate that a Thai gentleman was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Although with the number of casualties caused by Qassams, the timing of this fatality must be suspect, and there should be an autopsy using International observers to ascertain how gentleman died. Israeli refusal causing suspicions. The did he jump or was he pushed analogy. Afterall if Israel is prepared to kill people in Dubai, then Israel would be prepared to kill an innocent Thai civilian in Israel and then blame it on the Palestinians. Particularly at a time when General Patreaus is stating that current american policy towards Israel is getting American soldiers kiled. Interesting times

I still dont understand why Israelis dont construct similar devices and send them to Gaza in retaliation????? makes sense to me! it might put a stop to this 'one way' traffic!

Jason your observational skills and reasoning powers are faulty. It is painfully obvious the rocket attacks have nothing to do with obama. There were far more and deadlier attacks during the Bush years; indeed the second intifada was at ots worst during Bush's first term.Since Cast Lead there have been attcaks off and on. It just happens to be this one killed someone, but it is highly unlikely Hamas' aim hasn't gotten any better since the Obama administration took office nor that they decided due to Obama's "weakness" to improve their guidance systems.

please lets not over react, it is sad that a human lost his life, but the average palestinian in gaza should not suffer, honestly, both hamas and fatah are not doing the poor palestinians any favors, a plea to all the educated and freedom loving people, israelis and palestinians, do not talk to fateh or hamas, reach out to each other through the younger less corrupt and radical generations, live together and coexist in peace, as crazy as it may seem, qaddafi"s idea of "ISRATINE" could produce a fruitful nation.

Ask this mans family to be compensated?Will the Brits put out an arrest warrant? Unlike some he is probably not on the UN permanent hand out list.

You just showed the true colours of islam the religion of war and hate. It is written in the Holy Scriptures that Israel would return to their own land and God (not allah) will Himself will fight their enemies. Check out Ezekiel 34 - 39. The defeit of the islamic nations is written! God bless Israel the Holy Nation!

Why are YOU occupying the majority of "historic Palestine"? Set the right example. Give it back right now! Why was there no Palestinian state stablished on the West Bank when you grabbed it?

Why is it that you never report Tel Aviv rockets and gun shots that have been killing hundreds and thousands of Palestinians all these years? At the same time, I do not intend to support Gaza rockets killing innocent Israelis - be it Jews, Christians or Muslims.

group has been shown in the past to be just that an excuse.A new name,same cast,is all it takes Even the BBC showed Al Aqsa martyrs admitting they would stop when Arafat told them while he was denying all. Hamas controlls everything in Gaza,entry,tunnels hairdressers,yes hairdressers it is illegal for a male to hairdress females.

The photo doesnt look like the usual "home made" rocket and talk of an explosion seems odd as the Gaza rockets usually have no "warhead" - previous fatalities have usually been because people were unlucky enough to have one literally fall on them.

Again, a lesson in world history is needed as the Jew haters are rising up and spouting their ridiculous nonsense. I suppose there are th0ose that feel that Mossad infiltrated Gaza and launched a crude missile with incredible accuracy to kill a ?foreign worker?. It astounds me that people can be so stupid and still knows how to write. My second comment concerns the myth of the Palestinian people-they are Arab squatters living in the Land of the Jews and have been for thousands of years and, considering that Mohammed traveled around Arabia I find it incredible that he decided to journey to the city of David to leap into heaven. The entire region of Israel and the West Bank are Jewish. The third is another history lesson for ?discretion of Muslim sites? in that the Muslims have built their mosques on the ruins of churches and synagogues and, indeed, the Al Asqa is built on the ruins of the Second Temple. Those that cry that justice is being served when a missile-and over one hundred have been fired in the last year-be the killing of an innocent worker reminds me of the punitive e damage the Nazis performed on innocent civilians during their reign of terror and I strongly suspect there are many in Europe that wish the return of that madness.

You always see and hear about Shin Beit infiltrating Occupied territories. The Israelis are masters at imitating the palestinians. Unknown group. Anyone can put on a mask and shoot off a rocket which always seems to happen at crucial times. I always wondered about that. The zionists will of course deny the possibility but there have been yeshiva students in settlements caught building Qassam rockets. For what purpose? Science projects? I doubt this was a hamas sanctioned rocket. Who stands to gain from something like this while Ashton and Ban Ki Moon visit? Surely not the Pals.

yes, the Mossad manufactured a Kassam rocket, snuck into Gaza and fired it into Israel - brilliant. With minds like yours there's no doubt peace is near.

this is a total scam, tht many bombs and only 1 man killed. israel you are pethetic you are in violation of the human rights by way more that palestine. just another reason for you stupid, foolish killers to kill some more incicent families. Israel stop what you are doing! and let the childern and families of palestine be free.

It is exactly this attitude that has put you in your current position.Although I disagree with Israels flaunting International law by taking land they don't own, What radical Islamic groups do is horrible. Targeting civilians will not make you any friends outside your own little circle of criminals. Look, it has not worked for 60 years, isn't it time to try another way?

blame it on someone else

Israeli provocation. Obama has nothing to do with it. Yesterday a day of rage was called for by Hahas for the dedication of the old synagoge. This is merely an extension by a group not controlled by Hamas. ALL terrorist attacks are wrong but don't blame it on Barky.

No demands on syria to stop sending weapons to hamas, islamic jihad and hezbollah. No screaming secretary of state to syria's leader. No threats of not sending ambassador to syria. Clinton is planning to visit syria but would boycott israel's ministers if they don't meet all of u.s demands. Obama has given syria sensitive communication systems which bush blocked. Obama has given syria airplane parts which bush blocked. Syria FM threatened rocket attacks against israel's cities. Hamas threatened rocket attacks against all of israel. Hezbollah said they could hit israel's airport. No Obama's focus is on ramat shlomo which abbas in 2008 said israel could keep.

Hamas sending rockets to Israel to kiil. Dont cry when Israel will retialiate and you will ask UN Humanright,EU to come to your aid I am sure you will get your present shortly

this is a logical outcome to the USA indirectly encouraging israel's enemies to act. this is something that a country, such as the USA that prides itself having a clear strategy, must have taken into consideration. the obama administration has already failed. well, no-one can take away that nobel peace price, so at least he has something to remember.

This is the payback for an inhumane siege against innocent people in the Gaza concentration camp/strip, Israeli state-organised terror in the West Bank, desecration of Holy Islamic sites and total ignorance of international calls for comliance with UN resolutions and repeated refusals to return to the peace process. Peace to you.

And the free world: mAttacks Israel.

totally agree with Welshman. A rocket killing is too convenient at this time. especially when the palestinians (irrespective of affiliation) have the moral upper hand.

Churchill did in Dresdes. !!! The Pals problem would be fixed a long time ago :-))

I think this is a set up by the Mossad to take the pressure off from Isreal. The world is not going to fall for thsi tricks.

The problem is that Israeli people can't understand that if they want to 1)continue occupying other people lands, 2)continue violating international law, 3)continue putting non-human siege against Palestinian people in Gaza, 4)continue building illegal settlements, 5)continue building illegal apartheid wall, 6)continue annexing more lands, 7)continue committing ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem against Arab Christians and Muslims, 8)continue demolishing more Palestinian civilian homes, 9)continue putting NON-VIOLENT resistance group members in jail, 10)commit war crimes in Gaza WITHOUT ANY CONSEQUENCE... This is ridiculous. and after all, they cry why the world criticize them, or why some people through rockets on them. Wake up Israelis, you need to make the change for a better future for us and for you, for our children and for the upcoming generation. Ending occupation, freedom, justice & independence for Palestinian people will bring peace and better future for both sides.

the week that Israeli/American relations are at the lowest point since 1975, where Israel has been ordered to stop building in East Jerusalem, and the bloke in charge ot the US military states that American policy towards Israel is contributing to the deaths of American soldiers. A Thai worker gets killed by a Qassam rocket. Personally I thought a suicide bombing on a bus would have happened, obviously Netanyahu believes using a non Israeli National in this way will achieve the same results as if it was an Israeli proper. Another use for the Goy I suppose.

are really happy a jew died. they will be really angry after we respond though....

OBAMA incited the Arabs to terrorize Israel !! His stupid actions in the last few days have emboldened the extremists to attack Israel believing America will support them.

Gyfleus ar gyfer pwy? Dyw hi ddim yn drist, mae'n drasig. A pham lansio rocedi yn union fel y Farwnes Ashton yn cyrraedd Gaza? Convenient for who? It's not sad, it's tragic. And why launch rockets just as Baroness Ashton is arriving in Gaza?

Your message is ambiguous. Do you mean that, either : The Israeli army sent this rocket (and the last 100 too), or that other Palestinian groups sent them and the blampe goes to Hamas? Does it really matter what name sends rockets to kill and maim? They come from the south so the response must go south!

Obama has started this ridiculous war of words and now someone's father or son has died. Words have consequence in the ME and they usually violent....it is not all politics like in the US. Someone should tell that to Obama.

Sad but convinient ,Welshman. As isn't the "Real IRA" ,necesary in order to perpetuate your occupation of Ulster. Sad but convinient

Is there any part of the Arab/Islamic hatred and non-acceptance of Israel that you are able to comprehend?

These are not mere toys or firecrackers. We fire rockets to kill and drive the foreign invaders from our land, This is our life and our legacy!

Rocket hit a warehouse in sderot when biden was leaving two days after the crisis. A rocket a few days ago just missed a girl in sderot. And now a worker is killed in ashkelon. There hadn't been any rockets hitting major populated areas in a long time before Obama had open season on israel. The leftists reporters in u.s and europe need to pound sand. Voters need to rise up against leftist leaders and their huge debt and horrible weakness policies. They made demands on israel not syria.

They see weakness and they attack. Syria hosts, trains, and arms hezbollah, hamas and islamic jihad. hezbollah bragging they brought weapons to hamas. Hezbollah saying they can hit tel aviv airport. Hamas saying they can hit all areasa in israel. Syrian FM saying they can hit israel cities. Iran and Syria run down to offer sudan's leader support who is helping them bring up weapons to gaza. Iran has syria had a missile summit where they mocked clinton and said she lost translation about them moving apart. Syrian president responded that u.s was colonial power. Obama admin responded by saying we like syria's relationship with iran. No demands on syria to distance from iran or hezbollah. No demands on syria to distance to stop the weapons flow to hezbollah and hamas. No clinton screaming to syria's leader. The left is flexing their muscles now but this isn't november 2008 anymore and the left around the world will find the voters wrath in the next few year

Call me cynical BUT Are we sure this was Hamas militants or will this be pounced on as a Hamas by proxy line? Hamas are not this stupid much as we would all love them to be.
