  1. Hamas release all hostages and go into exile – war over
    1970 PLO kicked out of Jordan – exile
    1982 PLO kicked out of Lebanon – exile
    It's an old story and an obvious outcome !

  4. I feel sorry for these people who have to experience and suffer the sideeffects of this nasty war, which parameters were set by the Hamas, supported directly and indirectly by the UN. The IDF had their good reasons for this action, I'm convinced about that. They even evacuated all the civilians before their action.
    Don't forget, it's a WAR.

  14. That is why nobody believes ANYTHING Israel says anymore. Why bomb a civilian building. Empty. No Hamas fighters in there. ONE BY ONE the lies of Israel are uncovered by their actions. It is a CLEAR ETHINIC CLEANSING. Schools, hospitals, cemeteries, universities, churches, mosques, etc. Not even Israel's allies believe them anymore
