1. Sharon promised compassion, but delivered violence.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (08.17.05)
Sharon is the most shameful man in Jewish history. May G-d curse him forever for his treachery.
2. Pistol whipping on the head is attempted murder
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.17.05)
Has this policeman been charged with murder and jailed? What makes the Israeli police brutality even worse is that the violence is perpetrated in order to give jihadis rich rewards for their maming and murdering thousands of Jews - Jewish land and assets. It is twisted and evil.
3. Pistol Whipped in the HEAD
Ann C. ,   USA   (08.17.05)
Evil is alive and well in Israel.
4. pistol whipping = attempted murder?!
sara ,   x   (08.17.05)
Wow, this is a whole new interpretation of attempted murder. I guess it renders all those IDF soldiers who have pistol whipped Palestinians at checkpoints murders - right Linda?
5. Empathy shmempathy

Ryan Jones commenting on Sharon's empathy speech: Sharon apparently fails, like many Israelis, to realize that the Arabs have most of the world convinced this land belongs to them, and that any Israeli concession is not a sacrifice, but rather an act of returning property to its rightful owner. Pandering to the international community and hoping it will grasp the fact that the Jews are voluntarily relinquishing control of parts of their beloved ancient homeland in a desperate push for peace is a lost cause. It didn't work when Israel agreed to enter into negotiations with Yasser Arafat's notorious PLO, nor did it work when former Prime Minister Ehud Barak offered the blood-soaked arch-terrorist some 90 percent of what he was demanding. Even after a decade of such sacrifices, the world still doesn't hold the "Palestinians" responsible for slaughtering Jewish men, women and children at every opportunity. But the Gaza pullout, some have argued, will be more like Israel's departure from southern Lebanon, granting the Jewish state diplomatic license to strike at the regime sponsoring and tolerating terrorists in its midst should the violence continue. But what has the Lebanon withdrawal really accomplished? Hizballah now sits comfortably with anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 missiles aimed at northern Israel. Will anyone remember today's relative calm along the northern border on the day Hizballah begins to rain death from the sky? And does anyone really believe that even after Israel's withdrawal the international community will countenance an Israeli strike on Beirut, Damascus or Tehran in response to Hizballah aggression? So why would it be any different where the Palestinian Arabs -- those darlings of the international media -- are concerned? Sharon's gamble smacks of a general failure by Israelis to learn from their short but turbulent modern history, and will likely lead to similar or greater carnage than Oslo, Wye and Camp David before it. The head of Shabach apparently agrees!
6. To #4 Sara The IDF have OUTSTANDING ETHICS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.17.05)
This loyal Jew was attacked by A POLICEMAN. No IDF pistol whip Arabs.
7. NachmanC's EXCELLENT POST. ISRAEL DON'T COMMIT SUICIDE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.17.05)
It is hate for Jews that demands ethnic Jew cleansing from Jewish land. Powerful Jew-haters want a second holocaust facilitated by an Islamist terror state in Israel. The goal of Global jihad is ALL Israel and the entire world under Islamic subjugation and domination.
8. THE YASSAM KEPT MEDICAL ATTENTION AWAY-ANIMALS

10. Police Brutality Reserved for the Jews/Afraid To Touch An Ar
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ,US   (08.17.05)
Will this brute be placed on trial? I doubt he ever wacked an Arab with such force. The police are generally violent to the Jewish residents, while the IDF is much more restrained. They need to be taught a lesson after this expulsion is over. I suspect they will be.
11. Pistol whipping of demonstrator
Oskar Prager ,   Petach Tikva   (08.18.05)
This was the method the Gestapo used a lot against Jews in Europe. It seems that the Israeli Police have learned from them.
