The diplomats don't like airstrikes? Fine. The Israelis can do it the old fashioned way, with tanks and infantry.

Better to be proactive to Palistinian Terror than reactive. As I imagine the Tanks rollin into the cest pool of Gaza... the tune "Rawhide" plays... "Keep them doggies rollin'".

The Israelis just need to keep killing terrorists and keep saying, "golly we're sorry" about other casualties.

Soon, there will be not enough terrorists to threaten the existence of Israel, then Israel will have the security she deserves. Then maybe, maybe, the palestinians will join the rest of the world.

Foreign Minister Shimon Peres warned that Israeli civilians would likely “pay dearly” for the airstrike.

Why is this terrorist mouthpiece in the Israeli government? He sounds like he gets his marching orders from Arafat.

I guess that's just the price you pay in a democracy. Always some idiot that can't keep his pie-hole shut when the government is trying to do the only logical thing in a dangerous situation.

This is the way it is: the only way to end the dance of death is to kill one of the partners. I know whose side I'm on.

Reading this article, the first thing that pops into my head is that the Palestinians are probably not above throwing live babies into the streets in front of the tanks so they can have a few extra "martyrs" and convince even more of their deluded brethren to Commit to Jihad.

How do you tell the retaliation from the normal murder of Israelis?

It's about time that Israel took the war to the Palestinians. Attrition is a funny thing, it works both ways.

Here`s what I don`t understand, the Israelis clearly knew where this guy was. Thats why they dropped the bomb where they dropped it. Most probably they had a team on the ground that used a lazor device to ID the target. My question is why didn`t they send in an elite team of IDF troopers and try to capture the bad guy? Wouldn`t Israel benefit from putting the bad guy on trial before the world? Doing what they did, using a 2000 lb. bomb on an apartment building got 100,000+ Palestians in the steets, world wide criticism and more political devision in Israel. That`s a victory?

Another story explains that the IDF went in at 1 am to destroy 3 Qassam rocket factories. The guy they killed the other day played a key role in the development of these rockets.

Because the death toll would've been higher, including on their own side.
