Ashkelon Mayor Itamar Shimoni told Israel Channel 2 on Sunday, 29 Tammuz, “I am undeterred by international opinion and the difficult photos from Gaza. It is time to stop the rockets and let the mothers in Gaza cry until they begin acting to stop Hamas. The rocket attacks must halt and the IDF must continue moving forward until Hamas is brought to its knees… The nation must stand firmly behind the cabinet, signaling it supports the decision to continue fighting until victory is achieved.”
Shimoni explained that if the option is that we cry or the citizens of Gaza, the choice is a simple one and the IDF must be permitted to take this to the end once and for all and bring an end to Hamas rocket fire into areas of Israel.
He added that while international opinion does play a role in the decision-making process, the safety of the citizens of Israel is the priority and for as long as Hamas continues to fire rockets, the war has not been won.

Wasn’t that same Gazan mother celebrating when our 3 tyere zeesa, bocurim were killed?
I kinda think so!
Didn’t she serve party snacks at the party when the rocket closed down Ben Gurion?
Pardon this please!
Vain Maama Vain, you deserve to! You voted with a 77% majority for those Hamas beasts!
Vain Maama Vain!
She is barking at wrong tree.
Hamas is ur pain and u need to get rid of it
There is ample precedent for this sentiment in the Tanach: Shoftim (Judges) 5:28.
This mayor is so right
I wish they don’t become cowards but finish the job. Had they done this in the last few operations we wouldn’t be here today.
May Hashem guard and protect all of us and especially our brothers & sisters on the front
Nicely said yaapchik… You hit the nail right on the head! Let her cry and let her kids and house die! If need be
To Yaapchick & the rest:
Exactly! The Mother should take one of the left over candies from the party and get over it! These Hate filled Mothers live on “photo ops” doing a good job of acting for the NYTimes, Cnn, NPR, AP, etc…! They don’t give a D–n about their kids as long as it pushes their agenda of Hate foward! Its these “Mothers” fault for sending their poor little babies in front of Hamas terrorist’s!
Dont forget about sisera’s mother….
