Two Qassams hit Israel, in second Gaza rocket attack this week

Hamas was created in 1987 by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, Abdel Aziz al-Rantissi and Mohammad Taha of the Palestinian wing of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of the First Intifada, an uprising against Israeli rule in the Palestinian Territories. And you said the U.S. created the mujahideen? The U.S. helped finance Afghan freedom fighters in the 1980's. They were already there.

Well...let's strike Israel again, maybe we can kill some more Jews? Afterall, the Jews won't do anything in return, no need to worry. Just curious...how many other countries in the world would tolerate this crap? England? Sweden? How about the climate worried Danes? Answer-none of them. But, it's the Jews so who cares?!

That is , if he can take time off from chasing and harassing settlers. Barak, go bomb 1 tunnel. That will show them !

This is all probably the work of the Iranians who are trying to stir things up because they feel emboldened for one reason or another. Probably they are trying to test Israel or to cause Israel to deplete valuable resources that might otherwise be used against Iran in the future.

I dont care that no damange or injury resulted from the attack. The rocket attacks took place with the intent terrorize and kill. Israel should do the same in return. Fly some low level supersonic missions over gaza to wake everyone up and then drop cluster munitions to the appx area from which the rockets were fired. Message to PALs, watch your step.

If this is the type of rocket routinely fired at US troops, it is the type routinely shot down by Phalanx. Israel has Phalanx in stock. Just won't use it. Politicians have an investment in the white elephant Iron Dome. Prefer rockets to fall until billions more are spent on that.

Or, are they? Abu, you and your cousins call yourselves Martyrs Brigade. Mamood, you and your buddies are now "Rockets from Allah". Hameed and Faheed, you launch from Ramallah, you are "Revenge of the Camels". Everyone on key? Go launch a few next Wednesday, because we have already told the stupid IDF that we have drawn an agreement. They believe us. Allah willing.

Fundamentally in the Arab/Muslim "culture" the concept of "Win-Win" is not a good choice for them, as it is considered a "sign of weakness", a "humiliation" . Arabs believe strongly that when dealing with the "Other" they have two choices: Their best choice is "I win and you lose" and if that is not possible then "I do not care if I loose, as long as you loose". That is their "culture" and will always be. We, Jews, have to accept this reality.! We have no choice!

I understand that there are many out there who feign sympathy for the Gazans suffering from closed borders and war. Now is your opportunity to voice your sympathy by calling on Hamas to end their sutpid missle attacks. We all know that this will only lead to more retalliatory attacks by Israel, thus leading to the deaths of Palestinians. So instead of waiting to hit the streets in protest of Israel's actions, raise your voices and plead for Hamas to stop. If one remains silent now, their tears and cries in the future will be all but disengenuous, and yes the blood will be on their frigid hands.

from any agreement with them? What can the world expect from any agreement with global jihadists?

Sderot is Palestinian Land under International Law's and aggrements. Therefore Hamas did not Attack Israel. Why do you Journalist not mention this?

What does Israel expect if they keep the stranglehold on Gaza? Whats the excuse for the last year of siege when there have been no rockets?

"From the facts available, the Mission finds that the rocket and mortars attacks, launched by Palestinian armed groups in Gaza, have caused terror in the affected communities of southern Israel and in Israel as a whole. Furthermore, it is the Mission's view that the mortars and rockets are uncontrolled and uncontrollable, respectively. This indicates the commission of an indiscriminate attack on the civilian population of southern Israel, a war crime, and may amount to crimes against humanity." HUMAN RIGHTS IN PALESTINE AND OTHER OCCUPIED ARAB TERRITORIES Report of the United Nations Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict

What other nation is asked to tolerate being attacked by rockets? When will Bibi start Cast Lead II?

they'll never stop..even AFTER 'peace' breaks out..they will still try. When are all the "anti zionist"(anti jew) idiots who post here going to figure it out...or do they willfully remain blind to this fact? the arabs, PA, WB, GAZA, SYRIA, IRAN, HEZBOLLAH, all of them, will NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER THE PEACE AGREEMENT...don't you people get it?

So much for the Hamas-Shalit deal. Now the govt can continue to refuse talks.

Hamas rules Gaza and yesterday declared that it will liberate all Palestian .First however Hamas needs Israel to withdraw from the West Bank .This Hamas will achieve with Israel/s help and then truly it can begin to work on its final solution .

...Cast Lead was ineffectual. Hey, Mark. Before you go on to spout about how October of 2008 had one rocket attack, and October of 2009 had one rocket, as "proof" that Cast Lead was ineffective, why don't you show some honesty for a change and compare all of 2008 to all of 2009. If that doesn't work for you, why don't you compare the first 6 months of 2008 with the first 6 months of 2009. If that doesn't interest you, why don't you compare the second quarter of 2008 with the second quarter of 2009. If that doesn't satisfy you, why don't you.........well, you get the idea. Cast Lead was an overwhelming success, reducing the numbers of rocket attacks from Gaza by well over 90%. But, then, in the words of Jack Nicholson, "You can't handle the truth", can you sir?

Hamas was created by Israel to fight PLO. The same concept used by americans who created the Mujahdeen in Afagnstan. Now bear the consequences???
