1. haven't heard your outrage at Arab murders
(08.04.05)
AKA, your buddies
2. ‘what many Israelis want to do.’?
Michael ,   Austin, TX USA   (08.04.05)
So...with that same justification...is every arab attack against Jews "what many arabs want to do"??? Things like this happen perhaps once a decade, while arab terrorism is a daily, if not hourly, occurrence. And you don't see any israelis dancing in the streets like I saw on 9/11.
3. What about Arab terror? Might explain Jewish motivations
(08.04.05)
4. but never a word from them about muslim incitement...
mike ,   usa   (08.04.05)
..or muslim terrorism. hypocritical for them to say that, as usual. these guys are one of the main reasons the arab community in israel languishes. they care more about grabbing headlines than they do about making the lives of their constituents better.
5. Did they express this while in Syria or Iran?
Avi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.04.05)
or while in another one of our enemies' countries? Israel's 5th column is lucky that we don't treat them like they would treat us under THEIR rule.
6. arab outrage
pesach ,   israel   (08.04.05)
i wish as mr mitzna has said israel would remove their gloves in the fight against arab extremism and maybe this would all stop and we wouldn't need the expulsion of jews or a wall or dividing jerusalem - maybe with strength by us the arabs would also be able to live without threats of death to live in peace.
7. ONE PERSON COMMITTED THIS ACT. DO NOT BLAME ALL JEWS!!!
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.04.05)
It is utterly despicable and the most vile slander of Arab Muslim Knesset members to claim the shooting is what many Israelis want to do. These hate-filled Arab Knesset inciters owe an immediate public apology to every Israeli Jew.
8. G-D FORBIDS VIOLENCE AND MURDER
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.04.05)
My condolences to the victims and their families. In the Bible, G-D commanded:: "You shall not murder" Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "fear G-D and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person. For G-D will bring every act to judgment..." The murder of innocents is regarded as wrong by all societies, yet the maimings and murders of THOUSANDS of Jewish innocents is about to be rewarded with an Islamist terror state in the Jewish Holy Land. It will bring down great judgments from G-D. It may not be right away, but the judgments will come. They will be terrifying. Palestinian Authority Minister Mohammed Dahlan is in charge of coordinating the withdrawal with Israel. Dahlan is responsible for the bomb attack on the Israeli school bus in November 2000 in which two school teachers were murdered and three children from the Cohen family lost their legs. If Jesus Christ lived today, from the time Jesus was in his mother's womb, he would be targeted for murder by the Islamofascists for being a Jew living in his homeland of Israel. The Palestinian Authority hailed as heroes the terrorists who brutally murdered the beautiful and innocent 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother and her four little daughters. The Palestinian Authority teach the murder of Jews-the brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ, as a religious obligation through their mosques, media and public education system. Broadcast from Gaza mosque, Oct 13 2000, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..." Bible, Obadiah 1:15 "For the day of the L-RD draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head." Jonah 3:8 "let men call on G-D earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands."
9. The Arab MK's Are Duly Shocked, Shocked......
Adina Kutnicki ,   Nj, US   (08.04.05)
What a load of crap from these Arab Mk's! Where are they when their fellow terror apologists collude with Israel's enemies from the podium! of the Knesset, AND when traveling to enemy ! countries? How dare they talk about Jewish terror with a straight face. For every Jew that purposefully kills an Arab there are hundreds of Arabs wantonly killing Jews with these same MK's cheering them on. Spare me the outrage. This teen was surely disturbed and unhinged, most probably from his gov't 's inability to protect his fellow Jews from murderous Arabs. In addition, the Sharon regime has alot to answer for in fostering such high anxiety for a generation of youngsters.
10. ARABS MK BIG HYPOCRYTS THAT SUPPORT LARGE SCALE ARAB TERROR
(08.04.05)
11. to 4 mike
george younis ,   lebanon   (08.04.05)
mike here you go again supporting zionist terror against muslims, christians and druze. it is true one incident every ten years but terror is terror and you mike claiming to be a non catholic "fair" christian should condemn all terror from both sides but unfortunately you are a religious freak hipocrit, by the way posting by george of beirut are not mine. again you are a loser check posting 13 in http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3118300,00.html
12. Long live the small difference
Aharon ,   Israel   (08.04.05)
I watched the evening news tonight on Israel television. All the reporters and news anchors called the soldier, who had killed the Arab bus passangers, a murderer. On the other hand, when a Palestinian kills Israelis in a suicide terror attack, the Plestinian media regards him as a "Shahid" (martyr). But I assum this of a trivial point to Isarel's bashers.
13. A terrible act
Noah ,   Canada   (08.05.05)
It is a terrible thing when one human decides to take the life of another, particularly for the sake that they were riding the bus. Having seen countless acts of terrorism over the last five years on Israel by the so called "Palestinians," it was probably only a matter of time before something like this occurred. As a person who loves and supports Israel, I will not apologize and try to justify the attack however. Such a disdain for human life is dispicable, no matter who commits it, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist or Jew.
14. OUTRAGE!
(08.05.05)
HOW ABOUT SOME ''OUTRAGE'' PALESTINIAN TERRORISTS KILL INNOCENT ISRAELIS! WHEN THAT HAPPENS YOU IDIOTS NEVER SAY A WORD! WHAT THIS KID DID WAS WRONG AND DISPICABLE. I HOPE HE BURNS
15. ok, george, whichever one you are, you got me
mike ,   usa   (08.05.05)
i can't keep all of the attacks i get straight. they all run together. i don't keep up with these things like you, but if you look back i HAVE condemned all violence on both sides before. if you read my post HERE it is about the arab mk's not doint the thing you accuse ME of doing - only condemning the actions of one side. how is questioning the arab mk's words "supporting zionist terror against muslims, christians and druze" as you accuse me of????
16. hypocrit
Eyal ,   Tlv.il   (08.05.05)
Working as a photojournalist I happened to be at the scene where 2 palestinians and a chinaman were killed by a kassam in Gaza and 5 palestinians wounded. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility - BUT NEVER APOLOGISED TO THE PALESTINIANS WHO WERE KILLED. The MK is the same. He plays the voting game. Ogf course he is an arab and you can;t expect him to speakabout about jewish terror victims. It's not a racist statement, it's a fact of life. On memorial day here we all stood for a minute of silence when the siren went, and i remembber standingon the beach in en Gedi and all aorund me arabs were goig about their business, talking on their cell phones and basically ignoring the death of ISraeli's in the wars instigated by the arabs on Israel. WHAT DO YOU EXPECT THEM TO DO? They despise us. It's a fact. Get used to it, and lets get on with making Israel a Jewish state. The arabs have their lands. Its writen in the Koran. Insh allah
17. Israeli organized Terror
Frank ,   UK   (08.05.05)
When Israeli terrorist killed Palestinians,he is emotionally disturbed, and when it is done by Palestinian, he is a strng terrorist.I can't imagine how U judge your staff.I can bring U alot of article written by jews to show U who is the real terrorist. Isreal ust yesterday demolished three houses and in another area in Hebron, they just uproot olive trees and ordered people to leave their farm to built a new sttlements. All these crimes are approved by the Israeli govenment and by the terrorist prime minister. Saying this and U still blame Palestinians for attacking Jews, simply these people only understand the language of force and U are naieve if U think the conflict will be solved after the pullout, Isreal will never give up the West Bank and the conflict will continue...just keep these infos at the back of your mind....
18. Where is the outrage at the terrorist pigs firing
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (08.05.05)
missles at Israel but land and kill "palestinians" instead? Did the terrorist pigs apologize for the "palestinian" child just killed by a rocket that did not reach its target in Israel? Did the arab MKs demand that the terrorist pigs stop shooting rockets? Obviously no, and we have one Jew who murdered compared to thousands of terrorist pigs that have murdered. The world sees Jews as more moral than anyone else and cries out more harshly when one Jew does such an immoral act as murder. If only the world would hold the terrorist pigs to the same standards as they do Jews.
19. to all rightists out there
Nadav ,   Misgav   (08.05.05)
Will you stop putting the finger on Arabs screaming: "But they also do it". One of our Nation committed the terrible crime of murder with NO justification a agains a Busdriver, 2 teenage girls and other innocent people. I am a Jew and I am ashamed
20. arabs
Eddie ,   Greenville SC US   (08.05.05)
You should note that this Arab Israeli not west bank for you idiots that don't know the difference. They are from my home town two are university students and sisters and two work for AGED the bus company. Just to label them as any other Arabs that is reducules and you should be ashamed of yourself to think this way. Those Arabs live within 5 minutes from the Jews and believe me they speak Hebrew better than you do. May God help the families of those who got wasted for simply trying to exercise there rights. I hope Sharoooon will exercise his policy of bring down the house of the “nasty jaw’s" parents house like they did for every suicidal terrorist did the same act…..ha what you think about that. Is it fair I think so.
21. 19..
(08.05.05)
I am also ashamed,, but no more than with the 1000+ murders of Israelis in the last few years
22. burueaucratic ineptitude & government corruption
traintalk ,   il   (08.05.05)
in the not-so-good old days some jews and some arabs alike worked together in the same political party to improve the common infrastructure. there will be no better or effective model until civil responsibility filters down from leaders who will say "i am responsible"
23. This murder is an outrage
Shai ,   Israel   (08.05.05)
I'm not envious of the Arab record on terrorism, whether those who commit terrorist acts are crazy or coddled by a culture, and I sure as hell am not proud of having a Jew commit an act like this. I don't consider him to be representing me, my thoughts, my state, nor the culture of my people. His act was one of savagery and he's deeply embarrassed us all, and deepened the rifts between secular and religious Israelis, and between Jewish and Arab Israelis. It was a chilul Hashem of the deepest, most destructive sort. No human being should have the right to decide that non-combatants are worthy of death simply because they are not like him or don't think like him. Those who think they can, are not human beings, they are animals. As far as the Arab reaction, especially the Druze reaction, I don't understand it. Druze are loyal citizens of this state, I think most people recognize that and I thought they did, too. That they would feel that they need to distance themselves from the state over this, that this is indicative of a deeper animus of Jews against Druze, is a tragedy for both of us. No one who shows the loyalty they have deserves to feel that way. Regarding people like Tibi, Barakeh and those who feel the way they do, I think they have good reason to feel Israelis don't trust them. They are a thorn in our eye, they do nothing all day but pick at our wounds and undermine us. People like them have caused the deepening distrust between Arab Israelis and Jewish Israelis that they claim is behind this incident, and Arabs who want to see this feeling recede should first select other people to represent them. I imagine this incident suits these MK's fine, then, because now they can pry open a rift that is even deeper and cleaner, only to blame the next tragedy upon Israeli Arabs in another 5 or 10 years, while 100's of Jews succumb to terrorism, on "Jewish racism" while they nod in understanding over the "frustration that caused it". No terrorists deserve understanding. None. Not Jewish ones, not Arab ones, none. No exceptions. In the end, the trend is clear. Eventually Arabs like Berakeh and Tibi and Jews who are Israeli will find it necessary to part ways. Arabs who can, those along the seam line between an Arab Palestinian state and Israel, will become Palestinians as the boundary line is redrawn to include them in Palestine and exclude them from Israel. I can't imagine how anything else can be possible, the distrust they have of the State of Israel is so deep, and the feeling has become so mutual. I don't think it makes a difference anymore whose fault it is. It's time to pick up the pieces and move on, salvaging what we can. We need to make our peace with the Druze, who are loyal and fine citizens of the state, and make our parting with the Palestinians among us.
24. To Nadav Out There
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (08.05.05)
The first and most glaring difference here is that the Israeli right- including the political AND religious leadership, condemns this type of act- this act of cold blooded murder. The Arabs SUPPORT it when they do it. And let's compare the numbers in the past 5 years. How many Jewish terrorist murderers have there been? ONE. How many ARAB terror attacks have there been? OVER TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND. You SHOULD be ashamed- of your own ignorance and inability to differentiate.
25. to Bunnie
Michael ,   Austin, TX, USA   (08.05.05)
you got that right...and consequently the world holds Israel to a higher standard as well. The world seems to expect moslems to act like barbarians...thus, there is no "outrage" as a result of their actions.
26. it is the war
