Netanyahu trying to convince Israeli hawks he won the Gaza war

Dear President Netanyahu, give the people of Gaza and Palestine a lasting peace. Show them that a true leader is one who cares.

rockets and more of them ! They are on their way from Iran now. He doesn't have the grit to stop them ! Obama might frown on it !

Give the people of Gaza and Palestine a lasting peace. Show them that a true leader is on who cares.

you're a dismal failure.

Hopefully he will not be able to claim victory after the forthcoming elections! Surely he will postpone them within short becaus he knows now, that he will be losing. His loss will be Israel's gain!

When you lie, Heaven doors are open to you. Politicians know it well

A failed Prime Minister. Go ! For Heaven's Sake Go !

Occupation, settlement constructions, blockade, military invasion, arbitrary arrests, 'targeted assassinations, killing of Palestinian by settlers etc etc ALL ACTS OF WAR..

A bloated, know-all wallah ! Time long overdue for him to pack-up & scram. We don't want to see him bringing Israel to her knees. We've had enough of him. For heaven's sake Go !

One set of pictures show two Hamas leaders laughing and smiling. The others are Netanyahu and Barak scowling and frowning. They don' LOOK as if they have just won a war.....!

you talk soooo much but what i dont understand about people like you is,,, EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED IN 48? WHO STARTED THE WAR? cause as far as i and the world know ( althougg they r tooooo chicken shit and anti semtic to admit it) that jews were fine with the partiotion plan but the arabs were so against it that they started bombing and THEY TOLD THEYR OWN PEOPLE TO LEAVE THEYRE HOMES AND COME BACK AFTER THE FIGHTING!! So all ur bullshit attacks agains us ARE FRUITLESS.you see,one cant start a war and then expect the other to bow down.PLUS,I NEVER SAW PEOPLE IN TEL AVIV HANDING CANDY OUT IN THE STREETS CAUSE PEOPLE HAVE DIED IN GAZA!!! its a CULTURE WAR STUPID NOT POLITICAL!!!! its very easy for you to paint us BLACK at every chance u get but the truth is most of the world lives in DENIAL that they all would rather have jews DISAPEAR FINALY!!!!

If Israel wants security and Stability it needs to return within its Internationally recognised Sovereign borders and stay out of Palestinian Territory and leave the Palestinian Arabs to raise their State. Israel will never have peace under the current circumstance it has imposed on them. No race of people would put up with what Israel has inflicted on Arabs. The sooner Israel gets that message and makes solid moves toward Peace the sooner Israel will be back in the global fold...until then Israel will remain a Pariah and that is by Israels choice...no-one elses.

Last year's social protests pretended there was no palestinian issue. Nobody in Israel wants to think about it. And then it comes and bites you in the ass.

Hawks are often soulless and ruthless people with no regard for other peoples' human rights or humanity ..Let them stew! Dutch

While this Article is balanced between political and military factors the conclusions of the article are like a math equation without taking into the account the X factor. Until Israel understands that military supremacy and political success are not the means to a peaceful solution in Palestine and Israel, there will only be continued cycles of violence like the myth of Sisyphus - with the rock inevitably falling back into Netanyahu's lap - only again to be pushed up the hill. Justice for palestinians is the best and only way to create stability that would in turn undermine Hamas. This does not mean the end to the Israeli state. The end of arbitrary arrests, administrative detentions, parallel justice systems, the abuse of the palestinian economy and natural resources and ultimately the settlements themselves in the West Bank and the violence they cause are the keys to this equation. Israel does not yet understand that the question of the conflict with Palestine is a human rights issue, not strictly a political or military one. They are still fighting the war of 1948. The International community is slowing understanding this paradigm. and when they fully grasp the extent of this basic truth, Israel will be forced into the present. In Jenin this week, PA security forces prevented the IDF from entering Jenin. There were forced to because they understood the will of the people here. Hamas would win an election in the territories if held today. All this as a result of Israel's policy math which again, misses the key point. The best and only way to undermine Hamas and counter this threat is Justice, and a stop to abuses that are the direct result of asymmetrical power in the region. If these steps were taken Israel would gain the international respect it could deserve and more moderate elements of the Palestinian ethos could come forward. Any people anywhere will fight as long as they are continuous victims of systematic human rights abuses. The Palestinians, one or the other continue to demonstrate this basic truth and will remain persistent against assimilation.

Once again the terrorists have won not thanks to their superiority but because our politicians dont have the will to let the army go all the way and finish the job. We could have won and crippled Hamas in the process Instead we waved the white flag. This is a humiliation rather than a victory and in exchange for another short term ceasefire we have rewarded Hamas making southern Israel a more dangerous place to live. Sixteen soldiers protested to Bibis pathetic ceasefire/ surrender by laying on the ground and using their bodies to form the words. ביבי לוזר ( Bibi loser ) and no matter he he tries to spin it we lost thanks to him & Obama

It was not a "war", not any more than Cast Lead. It is a question of attacks by one of the armies the most powerful and sophisticated in the world on people living in a different age, possessing no aircraft or sea power or tanks or drones, no nasty flechette shells or phosphorus shells, either.

The last message from me was aimed toward the president of the United States: President Obama.

I am discusted at your support, you do not even understand the wide spread antisemitism aimed at Jews alone here and all over the world. I am embarrassed that I voted for you. This is what you wanted? I should have written someone else in. Your interrnational understanding of the situation Of Israel is Naive and in the biggest sense childish. I am being honest. I still would not have voted for Romney, How would you like it if we would have allowed the South to continue their slavery, I wouldn't and I am mixed of Jewish, Arabic and African Descent, so I have a right to express my absolute intellectual and well educated opinion on the matter. MY religion: I am a JEW, I believe in Hashem, remember, the G_d your Jesus worshipped, He was Jewish, or did you forget?

Yes, the cease fire will hold, and it will turn into a permanent truce and finally peace, because it has the support of many powerful players including the US. No, it is not a victory for Israel. Hamas got everything it has been asking for since the blockade was imposed, and which Israel was determined to deny her. The only question is why did Netanyahu launch this war which he must have known would hasten the freeing of Gaza. My goodness: he was hemmed in with redlines imposed by the Americans. His hands were tied, he could not run the war the way he wanted to. It is significant that as a result of the war Gaza is now a putative Palestinian state with real independence, and that may be a bit itchy for the PLO which is currently the only recognized representative of the Palestinian people. Perhaps that was Bibi's aim of starting the war – to create a situation where the rivalry between Fatah and Hamas would increase on the eve of the UN bid -- but I don't think so because he resisted the terms of the truce until he was beaten into accepting them. So, we really don't know why Bibi acted in that way. Maybe he wasn't getting enough sleep.
