Prime minister Ehud Olmert, defense minister Ehud Barak and chief of staff Lt. Gen. Gaby Ashkenazi decided at a special conference Friday evening, Nov. 14 to refrain from responding to the Palestinians’ 10-day missile blitz from Gaza. The ministers met after 6 Grad rockets hit Ashkelon and 11 missiles battered Sderot during the day. One of the 23 casualties was an 82-year old woman wounded by flying shrapnel in Sderot; the rest shock victims.

Why is Israel not responding?

Hamas to demand new conditions for any ceasefire talks, including prior opening of crossings; Islamic Jihad member warns of imminent suicide attacks

Hamas will demand different conditions for any renewed ceasefire, regardless of whether the current six-month Hamas-Israel ceasefire will end as planned on December 19 or be terminated early as the result of rocket fire on Sderot.

I'am wondering how it is to live in Gaza and let's not forget how it is to live in Sderot. Israel a western country in constant war.

Lets hope and pray that they find a way to renew the lull.

Well, there are always two sides to each story as in the middle the third side wish would be the truth. This issue is rather complicated and complex and deserves far more then just a couple of sentence.

I was in Palestine and Israel doing volunteer work and The Palestinians have their fault and yet they are the once being bleeded to death and robed be on their last shirt leaving them with out any human dignity nor any hope what so ever. Thanks to Israel's great Politics and I always believe we shall never do unto any one ever what had been done unto all those victims 17 million in total during the NAZI regime an yet we have the Middle eastern conflicts and had Rwanda, and now Sudan and so on. Will we ever learn to see Humans as humans and stop our madness?

Why is Israel not responding? A rhetorical question falls short to address the situation. It is not Israel enduring Saddam Hussein´s missiles during the first Gulf War to avoid the destruction of a fragile alliance in the Middle East. It is Israel blockade on Gaza.
