Israeli officials say they are not interested in a "timeout," and want firm guarantees that the rocket fire, which has paralyzed life in an area home to 1 million Israelis, finally ends. Past cease-fires have been short lived.

How can anyone guarantee a permanent stop to rocket fire. Take Hamas out, no excuses.

Israel made the biggest mistake ever by unilaterally giving up the Gaza thinking they would have peace. These so-called Palistians are the same people who years ago used to weekly suicide bomb decent peaceful Israeli citizens at weddings, on buses, outside cafes, etc. until Israel built their wall. I watched today as people had to run off their peaceful beaches and look for shelter from in-coming rockets/missiles from Hamas attacks.

Palis are a gutter people who have NO respect for life, much like most Islamists. Ever seen their Islam ritual of cutting the heads of their own children for their bizarre doctrine (have photos)? While that is as bad as it gets, they also teach their children in their schools to grow up and HATE anything Jewish, American, and Western Civilization.

I've been watching these murderous savages for years way before 9/11/01. They hate everything, including themselves. If they can't kill Westerners, they kill each other. I sincerely wish that Israel would send them all back to the 7th century they so relish.

And no, I don't care about collateral damage - better their populace than the children of Israel. Think Dresden, Hamburg, Hiroshima, Nagasaki. Not sure it would make as big of impression on the Islamist fanatics, but would definitely set them back for awhile.

Hamas is running low on rockets to fire because Israel blew them up in Sudan last month.

Israel is solving its’ near problems right now, Iran should really worry once they're done with that.
Egypt might also keep a close eye on their Aswan Dam, it could spring a really big leak.
