Seven Palestinians killed in two IAF strikes in Gaza Strip

It's immoral and cowardly. It's time to take the trip.

Do you know why the Isrealis closed the port?? Do you kow why the Irealis closed the airport?? Do you know why the Isrealis closed the borders? Let me answer for you. They were closed as the responsible pals were using them to ship in arms and equipment to be used by pal terrorists in attacks on Isrealis. In short they were closed to reduce the pals ability to commit terrorism. Should the pals actually prove responsible they Isrealis will open the borders again.

Lakshmi , Thanks for your comment. Let me have a copy of your column when it comes out. I will put it on a few websites. Dutch

George, I am afraid you have it all wrong, Israel did not leave ALL OF GAZA as you said. It still controlled all its ports of entry and exist and this was a major obstacle to peace & properity. Israel closed off the ports of exists when it deemed necessary and made business next to impossible for Gazans to conduct . Gazans didn't have access to markets when they needed too Hence normal business and growth were impossible. Thus it was Israel's half measured withdrawl from Gaza created the problem to begin with and this was followed with Palestinian frustration and the firing of Qassam rockets. There is no such thing as half freedom. This is why Arafat refused that not so generous offer too as it entailed Israeli controlling all Palestinian ports. What would have been sovereign or independent about such a state? Hence you need to stop blaming all this on the Palestinians and tell Israelis their half measures stink!!! Dutch

Hello fritz, I agree with a lot of your opinions too and while Israel may not be responsible creating all the terrorists -its presence and policies in the Palestinian territories fuels terrorism as it offers Palestinians no hope of something better. The Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darvish reveals too from his life under occupation: ?The Occupation doesn?t content itself with depriving us of the primary conditions of freedom, but goes onto deprive us of the bare essentials of a dignified human life, by declaring constant war on our bodies, and our dreams, on the people and the houses and the trees, and by committing crimes of war. It does not promise us anything more than the apartheid system, and the capacity of the sword to defeat the soul?. And while a full scale Israeli withdrawl may not bring a cessation to the hostilities, it should help reduce them as the current war alternative is intolerable and as Ben Franklin said, "There was never a good war or a bad peace. " Dutch

Lakshiti's well know sources are himself, he look in the mirror and talks to himself. Don't waste your time, these Bozo's NEVER are able to substantiate ANYTHING when the quote stats. It's figments of their hate filled minds. You can keep on asking till you're blue in the face, he and the others never respond. They can't!

Their hate isn't only directed towards Israel, it's expressed world wide. Here's a few stats for you to dwell upon:...Following are cherry-picked lines (I know some people simply hate that concept) that sum up the Muslim-on-Muslim deaths in the world?s major Muslim countries: Algeria summary: 500,000 to 1 million in the war of independence; 100,000 in the civil war in the 90?s. Sudan summary: 2.6 million to 3 million. Afghanistan Summary: One million to one and a half million, as a result of the Soviet invasion; about one million in the civil war. Somalia Summary: 400,000 to 550,000 victims in the civil war. Bangladesh summary: 1.4 million to 2 million. Indonesia summary: 400,000 killed, with an additional 100,000 to 200,000 in East Timor Iraq Summary: 1.54 million to 2 million victims. Iran Summary: 450,000 to 970,000 victims. Lebanon summary: 130,000. Yemen summary: 100,000 to 150,000 fatalities Chechnya summary: 80,000 to 300,000 fatalities. But wait, there?s more: Jordan: 1970 to 1971 the Black September riots took place In the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan. King Hussein was fed up of the Palestians use of the country and their threatened to take control of it. The confrontation, mainly a massacre in the refugee camps, took thousands of lives. According to estimates provided by the Palestinians themselves - 10,000 to 25,000 fatalities. According to other sources - a few thousand. Chad: Half of the population of Chad are Muslims: In various civil wars 30,000 civilians have been killed. Kosovo: In the mainly Muslim area of Yugoslavia about 10,000 were killed in the war there from 1998 to 2000. Tajikistan: Civil war from 1992 to 1996 left about 50,000 dead. Syria: Hafez Assad?s systematic persecution of the Muslim Brotherhood ended in the 1982 massacre in the city of Hama, costing the lives of about 20,000 people. Iran: Thousands were killed in the beginning of the Humeini Revolution. The precise number is unknown, but is somewhere between thousands and tens of thousands. The Kurds also suffered at the hands of Iran, and about 10,000 of them were murdered there. Turkey: About 20,000 Kurds were killed in Turkey as part of the conflict there.

You know that I share most of your opinions. This time I feel you are not thorough in your thinking. You can blame the Israelis for creating all the terrorists they are now fighting but this does not alter the reality that a single sided Israeli withdrawal alone would not lead to a cessation of hostilities by the Palis. And - sorry - I do not fully accept the argument against disproportionate force in this acute present situation. Qassams are not tolerable and Israel must react. I know that the occupation and the unnecessary violence, in particular the raids in the WB, are a vicious cycle that Israel has started and is not willing to stop but this is a different subject.

Again your blinded Dutch. Israel did leave some of the territories, ALL OF GAZA. as part of the Gaza first intiative. Did they see a drop in terrorism The Hell they did. It just gave the terrorists an easier hand to do what they want. Do you do any research at all? Israel will not give up the territories if they are going to be a terrorist safe haven. This has been accurately demonstrated in Gaza. Make a gesture withdraw completely and see if they will let us live together in Peace. Oh No! they chose to continue attacking only one thing to do now. Answer violence with harsher violence. The Pals had an ideal oppoetunity to show their seriousness for peace and yet again they blew it

Dutch, In what bizarre world do you live in. You wax poetic with your nonsence: "What a shameful lot they have become killing their poor neighbors with air power and weapons that melt both flesh and metal." These poor neighbours that you mention prefer to buy weapons and build rockets than buy food. They are given every opportunity to better themselves. 20% of them prefer Israel to rule them than their own so get of your high horse come to the region and see for yourself what is being doen instead of siting in your serenity of Marijuana smoke

You don't have to wonder what the IAF's capabilities are. They proved it in 1967 & 1973. Egyptian & Syrian aircraft were erased from the sky. They each had equal technologies, Israeli's useage was superior. It's not a game of one upmanship, it's war. Each side uses what it has to best of it's abilities. Your what if's are the talk of a child.

To the members of the Al Alksa Martyr's Brigade, congratulations on a mission accomplished. May all your fellow members be martyred by Israeli rockets as quickly as possible.

Who knew it, aside from yourself and others of like mind?..Any army prepares for eventualities. Anticipating Israeli retaliation, Lebanese should have wisely avoided attacking Israel. Look at the facts, LEBANON ATTACKED FIRST!!

First, let's establish one simple fact. When Pali's blow "ONLY" themselves up, it's "SUICIDE BOMBING". When their intent is to destroy others, then it must be called by it's proper terminology "HOMICIDE BOMBING", understand the difference?? Those that perpetrate "HOMICIDE BOMBINGS" reap the whirlwind. Pali's weren't attacked, they were retaliated against, a substantial difference.

is an appropriate response because as you say: "When attacked, response is made with everything that`s available."

on high. They must be very proud. I wonder how they would do against worthy adversaries in planes equipped with the latest technologies? It's a little different from firing rockets at cars.

Notice that Lakshiti is too big a coward to even say where he posts from.

For your claim: '21st century air power versus hand made Qussams.Secondly, the Geneva Conventions etc. are precisely intended for that: the defence of the powerless against the powerful.

It is well known that Israel did NOT plan the Lebanon war. But onus is on you.

There isn't much diiference between the Muslim rascist and the jewish racist. Heres the similarity: They both be semetic!

"a well known fact " That Isreal was WAITING for their soldiers to be KILLED and KIDNAPPED?? You aren't even worth a reaction. WHO do you think you're talking to here?

BEN- A WASTE of time trying to debate the Facist Dutch, and Lashiti. No matter what, they will support the people who want to kill us all. HAARETZ-this is for Ben Jabo-please post

Once more we see the brave IAD and IDF taking resonsible and appropriate action against terrorist forces. The IAF and IDF are living up to their responsibilty of defending the Isreali civilian population like any responsible military should Qudos to the IAF well done.

Ben Jabo, You need to come up to speed REAL FAST TOO as no state can use excessive force today and get away with it. There is no such thing as carpet bombing anyone today or wiping out one's enemies. People have left that barbaric stuff behind since World War II and many states have since given up their armies and military power. Hence, Dresden and Berlin and Hirmoshima will serve as relics of the past to remind people in the 21st century to outlaw war as a crime against humanity. Trust me it is coming too as people are already outraged on how they have been used and misled by gov- ernments & leaders throughout the ages to further their agendas. I can't think of anyone who makes that case clearer than the US Historian, Howard Zinn in his column American blinders. Dutch ( http://www.progressive.org/mag_zinn0406 )

Rockets into Isreal HOW MANY times this week,two attempted bombings in G.B., airport in Scotland, terror cells in Germany- I could go on, but WHY? The violence in EVERY part of the world is caused by MUSLIM Islmofacists. NO SECRET . Stop making excuses for the people who are trying to destroy every society on earth, except their 7th century version of Islam. IF your name is "mike? , they WILL come for you as well. DEFEND the people who wish to destroy us all. VERY smart of you, and trendy.

21st century air power versus hand made Qussams.Secondly, the Geneva Conventions etc. are precisely intended for that: the defence of the powerless against the powerful. I have written about the real motive for israel's attack.It should be coming out. Meanwhile, good to read your posts.Regards.

earlier.They were waiting for a causus belli.

You've forgetten one minor detail. Israel didn't initiate the Lebanon war, Hezbollah did. Hezbollah kidnapped two solders and murdered a few more. To cover their actions, they first launched a rocket assault against Shlomit, those rockets contained "cluster bombs".. I hate to disillusion you, there's no such animal as "Disproportionate Response". When attacked, response is made with everything that's available. Calm in Gaza? not when they're firing rockets into Israel. Four million clusters, that's according to your count, no matter, justly left as a memorial to the war initiated by Lebanon.

UNWRA has been feeding them for sixty (60) years. Show one photo indicating a Pali that has a drawn face, indicating starvation. The hunger & starvation tales were fabricated by the greedy merchants, attempting to put their people into a state of panic, so they could raise prices. Hamas told them to cut it out, our else. Just look at photos of the leadeship, Hamas is fat as porker. His thugs have more than enough energy to sent of their Kassams, parade & demonstrate endlesssly through the street, brandishing their AK's & M-16, plus flaunting their RPG's. Spare the crocodile tears. Aside from that, they shouldn't have looted and destroyed the greenhouse and farms the Israeli's that evacuated Gaza left behind. Photos in the Souk's clearly show weapons being sold alongside fruits & vegetables. Priorities are on weapons, not food.

"ASSASSINATED", that's an Arabic word, derived from the HASHISH the Arab ASSASSINS were doped up with before being sent forth to ASSASSINATE.

Get it though your noggin, there ain't no such animal as "DISPROPORTIONATE RESPONSE". Response of any sort wouldn't have been necessary it the enemy actions hadn't taken place... Even you, in your venomous biased hate, should realize, that when engaged in war, you throw everything you have at the enemy that attacked...U.S. nuked Japan, U.S. & England carpet bombed. They asked for it, and received a just response. Dresen & Berlin.

The era of the German Corpral is long past. Jews will not be rounded up and killed quietly any longer. I find it a bit untasteful a German preaching to the Jews on how best to defend themselves from rockets, or anything for that matter. I observed a frw other of your friends paying a similsr visit to an Airport in Scotland today. Guess they should just let the poor chaps go EH?

you are CORRECT. When rockets are fired into the Isreali population, a RESPONSE is self defence. Shoot enough rockets, and the self defence forces of Isreal will have NO CHOICE except to respond with massive air attacks, or invasion. NO COUNTRY NOT ONE will sit by while her citizens are under attack day after day.

You can do a lot of things: Walk. Talk. Eat. Drink. Urinate.

I suspect that on the day Israel and the Palestinians come to terms and there's an agreement on who gets what land, Dutch will blame Israel for making a peace agreement.

YOU KNOW, WE ALL MUST BE STUPID. we must. He we are bombing the poor terrorists when ALL they want to do is ROCKET an Isreali town or two. I'll tell you what - you are LUCKY so few IAF?IDF attacks have taken place. NOW, more then ever, the rockets will be met with more frequent responses. Do you really think the Isrealis, or ANY country will just "sit back" and allow their population to eat rockets? They should send a few Egypts' way and SEE what happens.

Another week in the criminal state of Israel: Monday - Israel kills ten "militants" Tuesday - Israel demolishes homes Wednesday - Israel shells crowded neighborhhods Thursday - Israelis shoot and kill Palestinians for running away Friday - Israel murders rock throwers Saturday - Israel arrests and jails without charges or trial Sunday - Israel steals land and kills owners in "anti-terror operation"

what do you consider the residents of sderot? they are being attacked by rocket fire from a source outside israel proper. they are citizens of israel and israel is returning fire on their behalf. how tough is that to understand? also those firing rockets are opposed to the existance of israel. you still think israel is the terrorsit? or are members of hamas and jiahd terrorist for attacking an unarmed civilian population. israel targets members of terorists groups and kills them. whats wrong with that?

It's entertaining to read the cheers of all the blood thirsty scums, to the "operation extermination". Each dog has his day......

Fritz, Yes, Israel has a right to take measures to protect its people but it certainly doesn't have a right to go out and bash its neighbors, de- stroy their property or indeed to kill them. That's cold blooded murder and state terrorism against the Palestinians. In addition, the use of 21st century air power against homemade Qassam rockets is a war crime and the UN Human Rights envoy, John Dugard noted in his Spring report on Israel's Activities in the territories. You must realize there has always been a deep sense throughout the history of the world among people to protect the weak from the strong and the powerless from the powerful -hence many of our inter- national treaties and agreements were based on this very principle. Thus the use of disporportionate force is deeply rooted in the Hague Convention (1907) on the conduct of war, the Geneva Conventions and the Nuremberg Trials. Nevertheless, it amazes me how you have lost sight and others on this forum that Israel is the unlawful aggressor in the Palestinian territories and it is imposing its will, unlawfully at gunpoint. Thus, what Israel needs to do is withdraw from the Palestinian territories and this will help put a stop to the Qassams and allow the Palestinians and the Israelis to live in peace and make a future for themselves. Dutch

asking similar questions.When the IDF soldiers dressed in uniform drop 4 million cluster bombs in Lebanon,of which 1 million are still unexploded and continue to kill and maim civilians,most of them children,it is called WAR.Gaza is an open air prison.All this is acceptable to israel supporters. However, the real motive now is not to hit those qussams or so called terrorists, but to disrupt life in Gaza.Ben Wedeman of CNN reports that there is such calm now in Gaza that he had not seen in several months.Street gangs,clan fighters,drug peddlers,fatah collaborators causing murder and mayhem(by a particular fatah faction,namely Dahlan,financed by israel-u.s.)are no longer in the streets.Hamas is in control.Egypt is going to re open its centre.Abbas is going to continue issuing passports from visa and so on.Life is returning to a normal which Gaza had not seen in several months,ever since israel-u.s. decided that it did not want the democratically elected Hamas.Which means since last year.

This is a war. Don't look to the bible for any kind of justification. Religion will not solve this conflict.

Die by the guided bomb.

I usually am one to condemn IAF/IDF raids and air strikes, but if you read the article the leader of the group itself admitted these people were responsible for earlier attacks and were militants. Should you not be punished for shooting rpg's and rockets again Israeli's? At least read the article before you go spouting off

How do we know they're terrorists? Why, it's easy. You can tell when you turn them over. The Israeli mantra: all Palestinian violence is terrorism; all Israeli violence is self-defense. One thing is for certain: Israel is much more proficient at "self-defense" than the Palestinians are at "terrorism."

How can Israel go on killing the arabs-afterall, they're only patriots? Aren't they? I especially love the guys in military pants at the scene of the "crime"-they look sooo awesome! This bit of sarcasm is in response to Israel's tepid response to those who want only to destroy Jews and their homeland.

Any suggestion on how to stop the islamists from wanting to get rid of all of the Jews, and then killing the rest of us if we don`t convert? This is very racist language but I'll reply anyway. Why don't you accept the long term cease fire that Hamas has been proposing since forever....its worth a try don't you think?

Whatever "disproportionate" means. Killing five terrorists if they were unsuccesfful in killing anyone is disproportionate? I think we should kill all of them. Stupid word invented by imbeciles.

In response to the daily rockets from Gaza, a simple solution. Non Stop I.A.F. raids into Gaza will have their ears ringing for a few weeks.

That seems to be the underlying agreement of some posters. Israel is at best nothing but an occupying power and Gaza is today probably one of the most peacefull and best organised parts of those oversea territories.

"What kind of god is it that says it is OK to kill other humans" Reading that first sentence, I almost thought you were talking about the many adherents of that so-called "religion of peace", Islam, who think it's a good idea to kill women, children and other noncombatants.

"The GNP in the territories dropped sharper in the last 5 years than anywhere else except for Zimbabwe. Now you can blame this economic downfall on the terrorists" I most certainly do blame them, and I also blame Yasser Arafat and all the rest of the thugs from the PLO and their 22 militias, who pocketed the aid money they were getting, opened foreign bank accounts, built villas and - oh yes - trained terrorists and spread hatred - instead of using all that money to develop their country. And this was before the present Intifada, when Palestinians were allowed to work in Israel and there were no roadblocks. "but you cannot at the same time demand performance from an economy that your own people are suffocating." Who's demanding anything? I'm bemoaning the present catastrophe that the Palestinians have brought upon themselves! Now it's too late, and all I demand is an end to terror, one way or another.

" an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand , o foot for a foot. THAT is how the bible tells the chosen people to respond to the enemy. READ IT.

rants don't help. Any suggestion on how to stop the islamists from wanting to get rid of all of the Jews, and then killing the rest of us if we don't convert?

That whole mess started when the Palestinians decided to escalate tensions in the regions with another Intafadah, and why? Because the Prime Minister of Israel decided to take a walk on the Temple Mount, in Jersualem, the capital of Israel, capital whether you like it or not. Israel determines its own capital, no one else does. You can blame the Palestinians hasty decision to lift arms against Israel for their struggle. Before that, the Palestinians were enjoying a growing economy, autonomy in many regions..and a number of other freedoms they flushed down the toilet only to wipe their *** with terror.

These limited killings are a waste of time. Only when the IDF gets serious and does a huge amount of damage, causing utter mayhem, will Hamas cry foul and stop sending quassams.

Israel is starving nobody. On the contrary, lots of food has been shipped from Israel to Gaza. Besides, it is hamas, Islamic jihad and all the other terror organizations that have caused the mess

Hadnt the Fatah people left Gaza? Why are the al-aqsa murderers there?

Good strikes. Keep up the good work.

What kind of god is it that says it is OK to kill other humans. God told the hebrews that it was alright to kill the Caanites to claim thier land. God tells the muslims that it is their duty to kill the infidel. Todays jews(hebrews) think it is ok for them to kill anyone and everyone to reclaim the land that God told them to kill for ..... All the extremist are the work of the devil. Be they christian muslim or jew. While the rich devils fiddle away on the take the average human is always at risk of being killed by their investments in weapons and death squads.

What about Jihad, PFLP, Al-Aksa brigades and the other 5 or so extremist groups, all consisting of people with a record in Israeli prisons or those who lost relatives killed by IDF?

Is it not wonderful having so many peaceloving Palestinians that they are forever advising the IAF what vehicles and houses the rocket manufacturers/firers are using? Can you imagine what the terrorists are paying for life insurance?

Well, there doesn't seem to be any.

Your suggestions are outright ignorant and infuriating as you seem to be totally unaware of the conditions of life in the territories. Nobody can prosper under such circumstances. The GNP in the territories dropped sharper in the last 5 years than anywhere else except for Zimbabwe. Now you can blame this economic downfall on the terrorists but you cannot at the same time demand performance from an economy that your own people are suffocating.

keep it up until terrorsits are scared to drive. let them walk and then send in gun ships and tear them apart. warning to all civilians, stay away from hamas and jihad terrorists. failure to comply means you die with them. its your choice. same warning goes to family mambers. leave the house if your father or brother are terrorsits. they are about to die and you will too if you live there.

You can hide under rocks, dig bunkers under your bed, sleep with one eye open, go to the bathroom with the door open, and you can eat standing up. No matter how ready you think you might be, just remember that we, the IDF, are coming after you. We will not hinder, or yield at the face of your bloody plots against our State and its citizens. We will succeed and bring justice to those who terrorize us and seek our destruction. Night, day, through land, sea, sand storms, and heat waves, we will go on the offensive if need be to bring justice for the the citizens of Israel and we will be victorious. The spirit of the IDF is unbreakable, and our objective is clear. One Shoot, One Kill. Blessing to all the innocent lives on both sides of this conflict. Victory is ours.

VERY GOOD JOB, IAF. CONTINUE, PLEASE, EVERY HOUR ONE HIT, AND THOSE TERRORIST WILL STOP TO ROCKET QASSAMS. GO AHEAD IDF, TAKE BACK GAZA, AND SEND HAMAS TO HELL.

Jews in Israel, no if and or buts about it. IDF, we are proud of you!

Send them to heaven, very nice place to stay for them, with or without all the virgins promises by the preatchers

The Israelis should use spitballs and snowballs.

when u gonna leave the land you occupy and have stolen from the indians

what is a "Zionist" euphemism ? I prefer english euphemism ....Beautiful Goal IAF.

Unfortunately, Dutch, the Israelis are not able to import Kassems from Gaza. How would you like them to respond to Gaza's rockets. I understand you are just as dead when you are hit with either type of rocket. What would you suggest as proper retaliation? Since wars began, superior weaponry was a big factor in who came out on top. I want Israel to win. Period.

Atoo, are murderers of helpless civilians that brave? You write: 'Zionists are sending some brave Palestinians to heaven' You mean those who fire rockets at residences and schools on the other side of the border?

I see you don't repsond to those who send your theories to hell. All you do is sout inanities that are meaningless.

Respect, bro

Canada also used " disproportionate " use of force when they liberated Holland inn 1944 and 19945, Remember ?

would invest as much time, energy and money in scientific, technical and industrial development as they do in weapons systems and attacking Israel, they, and not Israel, would be the most successful people in the Middle East.

Always sad when people die, but these ones and their organization and charter is such that this is the only way they must be delt with.

Is there any act of terrorism in the name of Islam that you Dutch would condem?

Your view is too single sided. While I condemn IDF any time it uses out-of-proportion force I cannot find anything wrong with their present attempts to curb the Qassam terror attacks. Nobody expects you to agree to preemptive strikes or targerted assasinations out of the blue that are not self-defense, but you should concede that Israel must defend her civilians. If you dont you deny Israel the most basic rights and this isnt fair.

Zionists are sending some brave Palestinians to heaven while starving the weak 1.5 million in an open prison like concentration camp. It is terrorism when done by others by it is killing with style when done by Zionist planes.

only three of these scumbags.

what part of "terror groups" do you not understand? your rants are so transparent that Saran Wrap will call you for patent infrindgement.

Not at those who hit these terrorists on their mission to murder civilians.

Israel needs to eliminate many more Militants from the face of the Earth. Olmert needs to declare war on Gaza and invade and remove the Hamas Militant and Islamic Jihad from Gaza once and for all. These Militants are no more then a cancer on the face of this earth. Alot of posters on Haaretz calls them freedom fighters thats BS. They are nothing more then Muslim Extremist and thugs and petty criminals that if there was peace they would have to do something legit like hold a real job. Israel needs to declare war on Gaza since any country would not put up with missles being fired on its land. Olmert reminds me of the mind set of Jews in the 1940's and acts like maybe if he ignores them they will go away. New elections are needed Bibi as PM and and Israel needs to fight and remove Hamas Militants and Islamic Jihad from Gaza NOW. Olmert what are you waiting for?

"Assassinated", have you finally run out of Zionist euphemisms? It's very refreshing, keep it up.

chose to call themselves. Close the borders, except for water and flour

Pals can get a permanent peace with Israel as soon as they will support Abbas and begin the movement to outlaw Hamas.

More immoral killing and disproportionate use of force by the thugs in the Israeli Air Force. What a shameful lot they have become killing their poor neighbors with air power and weapons that melt both flesh and metal. How appalling immoral that is and how shameful it is for the US to be providing such military aid to Israel. Lawmakers and weapons suppliers will hear about this. And under the Geneva Convention peace and justice groups will track down those murderers in the sky and clip their wings for good--- behind bars. Dutch

writing is not enough. When asked what you did to help Sderot and Israel what can you say. 1.The answer is clear email Sderot residents to show support. 2. Blog every attack on Israel to all media including campus papers 3. don't ignore the suffering. The attacks are deadly and are intended to kill.

The Israeli gov't said they would invade if the rockets continued. Perhaps even if they stopped. Well, we can see what's going on. So unless they are waiting because they have something special planned with the US...WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!!

Barak, how long you are going to tolerate violation on part of Hamas?
