1. C'mon now...
Shai ,   Israel   (04.14.05)
I'm waiting for Sal and Edward to tell us that she was "just happy to see us".
2. actually shai
edward ,   las vegas   (04.14.05)
i have no comment, this is un-newsworthy unless you enjoy reading about little girls' underpants.
3. What would make it newsworthy?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA, US   (04.15.05)
Would it be newsworthy if she pulled the gun out of her underwear and killed the soldier? Would it be newsworthy if the gun went off in her underwear and she made up a story that the IDF shot her between the legs? At least it is looking more equal, the IDF wants to take guns away from terrorists as well as the settlers (who use them to protect themselves from girls with guns in their underwear.)
4. actually, Edward
Shai ,   Israel   (04.15.05)
1) Obviously it was newsworthy enough for you to read it, and thanks for exposing your angle on why you read it. 2) Apparently only dirt on Israel meets your definition of "newsworthy", proving what I've always claimed about you, which is that you are a tendentious bigot who ignores anything that doesn't suit your narrow world view on what Jews and Israel are all about.
5. well they dont say how old she was
giles ,   london   (04.15.05)
she might have been of adult age... i wonder who searched her...? what a great way to start a romance between an israeli soldier and beautiful palestinian girl.
6. well they don't say how old she was
JerryA ,   Israel   (04.17.05)
Does it matter how old she was? What matters is that the search was clearly correct - the man was armed and used his sister to hide the evidence. Either she was older...in which case she was a willing accomplice and should be treated as such, or she is under age and therefore, once again, shows the cynical use of children (like the 15 year old boy who was just caught trying to smuggle pipe bombs through a check point; the 16 year old, the 11 year old, etc. who were caught trying to the same)
7. gun in underwear
njsimo ,   annandale, nj   (04.20.05)
thank you Bunnie. well said and to the point. would it have been newsworthy if it came from a arab terrorist..
8. girl and brother's hidden gun
Claire Bruhns ,   Canberra Australia   (08.28.05)
What were the names of the brother and sister involved?
