1. Tatyana Susskind
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.12.06)
I remember when the Russian Jewish immigrant posted pictures og mohammed as a pig around Hebron and how quickly the Israeli government came to the rescue of the moslems and has Tatyana arrested and imprisoned. Myself, I commended her for her courage and boldness in a sea of wimpy men and cowardly politicians who always come to the rescue of this cult of death . I think it's clear that the arab people are repaying Israel for all their painful sacrifices for this peace. The truth is there is nothing respectful about the cult of deatn and nothingg honorable about it ,and yet most Jews treat this evil with honor. It deserves NONE just as the Amalikites deserved their end so to do those who think up such evil and barbarity ! Tatayna should have recieved a hero's reward ,instead she was imprisoned by the cowards and fools who rule Israel to ruin for the lie of co-existence with Islam.
2. Foolish to hope for anything else
raykie ,   Israel   (01.12.06)
It would only be news if they responded to Sharon's illness in a humane fashion.
3. Ask George Bush.......
Tamar ,   Israel   (01.12.06)
our Arab/Muslim friends are peaceful and tolerant. Islam is a religion of Peace you know. Only a few wish to hijack it............. Palestine and Israel living side by side in peace........ I could give you a hundred such quotes but it is making me sick to my stomach. And as much as Bush sides with our arab buddies, they hate our guts. Wish us all dead. Oh btw: Bush is fighting a war on terror. and the sun rises at midnight.
4. Just like the nazis , but we knew that already
Hiram ,   tel aviv   (01.12.06)
This kind of propaganda is similar to the one launched by the Nazis in the days of Julius Streicher, editor of the anti-semitic newspaper Die Sturmer. I do not recall any Jewish newspaper posting anti-semitic cartoons or rejoicing over some one ilness, regardless of its/her political status. With such mentalities, no wonder why islamic terrorist nations are in such a civil and economic shamble ! It is far easier to joke about Jewish " misfortune" than working on Internal issues far more important but also far more insolvable as we all know...this was also the Nazis way of approaching their own economic situation.This shows that history can very well repeat itself with the same risks and danger. Whoever thinks that these are only issues connected to the Palestinian situation is wrong. These, like AbuHamza preacching, and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad endoctrinements of the Iranian are nothing else than a war against Jews.
5. Just one of those who used his ideology to do atrocities
Palestine   (01.12.06)
This is our opinion in Sharon? No one can force us to love him. We have chosen to detest him for his crimes against our innocent people. He is a leading Jewish terrorist that used his religion and ideology to justify the massacre and the establishment of an ilegal statehood on the land of Palestine. His place is the trash bin of history.
6. YNET loves to promote the bolsheviks
Ben Temalion ,   Shiloh, MO USA   (01.12.06)
The coma patientdid a party coup de ta in removing the PM from the party elected. The coma and Alzheimer aflicted unbound heart, arel schinerman expeled the the last remaining defense of the rest of the Jews in IL with a sick brain and unbound heart. He is a murderer of Jews in every sense that the Rabin was a murderer of Jews and yea Bibi. I will not outline the links to the Altalena, but these people all hate those who are Jewish. Those who will reclaim the land, those who actually practice the rituals of Judaism. IL should be called Judah except the hose secularist made a false claim in that they had no wish to love HsShem. BG's false claim to a deed was repulsive given his murder of Jews and the destruction of arms that could have reclaimed so much more. Ynet is absolutely devoted to the piece-by-piece destruction of any hope for Jews to be actually Jewish/
7. A basic rule of thumb:
Tahl ,   Israel   (01.12.06)
The sicker, viler, more grotesque the cartoon - the harsher, more corrupt, more ignorant of human rights, is the country's dictatorship, and the more primitive, repressed, and uneducated are the readers.
8. each to their own.... but the dead cant Talk
richard hitchings ,   methil   (01.12.06)
Perhaps we should ask the people from Sabra and Shatila how they view Sharon..... but then again the dead cant Talk
9. Ahmad in a jar
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (01.12.06)
He's going to get a massive come upance. Its written in the skies.
10. to #5 palestine
Simcha Karolinski   (01.12.06)
I honestly wish you ppl like Saddam Hussein, Ghaddafi or Assad for President. You don't deserve any better
11. to #7
RobertK ,   Jerusalem   (01.12.06)
But Jordan is considered a "moderate" country with which we have "peace."
12. But Jordan is considered
nieuwenhuizen   (01.12.06)
may I humbly correct you, we have peace with the king and the government, not with the population
13. Not surprising
Intedi Nensak ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (01.12.06)
This is no surprise at all really. They've been publishing these anti-israeli and anti-sharon cartoons for years. This is really old news.
14. Satisfying, in a way...
Dave ,   Silicon Valley, CA   (01.12.06)
Arik spent no less than 60 years kicking Arab tuchus, year-in and year-out. The vile outpouring from the Arab media is nothing more or less than the gnashing of teeth by a wicked beast against the heroic figure who has bested it again and again.
15. The islamic cult of death promotes death wishes.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (01.12.06)
16. The # 1 responsible of the 2nd Intifada
Mohhamd ,   GAZA   (01.12.06)
Sharon is the number one responsible of the 2nd intifada when he visited Al Aqsa holy place. He was responsible of the death of 3,000 Plaestinean & 1,000 jews. He was looking for being the King of Israel using human bodies to reach. He wanted Barak to prevent him so he will be killed by the radical jews like what they did to Rabin. GO TO WHERE U BELONG.
17. To #16
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.12.06)
Dear Mohhamd: Your name says it all - a follower of a now fanasy religion based on evil creating new fantasies. Perhaps you should read the articles written by Barghoutti or Abbas as to who REALLY started the intifada and why. Maybe you should start writing comic books. Thats as close to reality as your comments or the new version of your religion has come
18. To 'Mohhamd'
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.12.06)
Perhaps you should read the following article and see how angry your Allah is now that you've changed his religion from the original doctrine to one of hate and destruction: FROM REUTERS ( A well-known Arabic newspaer ) At least 50 people dead in Mecca hajj crowding - witnesses At least 50 people were killed in crowding during the stoning ritual at the hajj pilgrimage on Thursday, witnesses said. Reuters journalists counted at least 50 bodies lined up on the ground and covered in white shrouds. Some were being placed on lorries by medics. A Saudi Interior Ministry source told Reuters an unknown number of people had been killed in the crush at the northern entrance of Mena's Jamarat Bridge. (Reuters)
19. # 5, sorry, Sharon is a hero.
Barry ,   Tokyo   (01.12.06)
Arabs killed Arabs in Shatilla - what´s new? Arabs have a tradition of killing innocent civilians - makes them look "strong" and feared. If only the Arab nations could muster up a leader half as qualified as Sharon, you'd be driving cars instead of donkeys and camels today. When will you ever learn? Hopefully, George Bush will sort you folks up soon.
20. #18 They changed nothing
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.12.06)
Islam has always been the same from the beginning. Islam rises and falls on Muhammad. He is the religion's sole prophet, Islam’s solitary example, Allah’s lone conduit. Without Muhammad, Allah, the Qur’an, and Islam would be unknown. Yet the picture the Islamic scriptures paint of this man is not flattering; his words aren’t believable. According to the Qur’an and Hadith, Muhammad was a thief, rapist, and terrorist. It’s hardly the example you’d want your neighbor to emulate. http://www.prophetofdoom.net/
21. Who and why?The truth about Arab liars#1
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.12.06)
Reality is that the Arabs orchestrated the intifada, and all other such events.The Muslim Arabs went on rampages in Lebanon killing Christians en masse, leadig to a Christian reprisal at Sabra and Shatilla. Only the PA and its terror followers won't hear the truth; Barghouttiand Abbas both have admitted in interviews that they staged a pretext for the intifada, and now their terrorist followers are playing revisionist history. Let's explore the truth:
22. Who and Why - Arab Liars #2
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.12.06)
1. Arafat knew beforehand of the Sharon visit to the Temple Mount and agreed to the agenda, setting the stage for what followed. Sharon did not attempt to enter any mosques during his 34 minute visit to the Temple Mount, Judaism’s holiest place, which Muslims have renamed Haram al-Sharif. His visit was conducted during normal hours when the area is open to tourists. Palestinian youths — eventually numbering around 1,500 — shouted slogans in an attempt to inflame the situation. In a revealing interview with the London-based Arabic daily Al-Hayat (September 29, 2001), Marwan Barghouti, head of the Tanzim, admitted his critical role in igniting the October 2000 intifada in both the West Bank and Gaza, as well as among the Israeli Arabs: I knew that the end of September was the last period (of time) before the explosion, but when Sharon reached the al-Aqsa Mosque, this was the most appropriate moment for the outbreak of the intifada....The night prior to Sharon's visit, I participated in a panel on a local television station and I seized the opportunity to call on the public to go to the al-Aqsa Mosque in the morning, for it was not possible that Sharon would reach al-Haram al-Sharif just so, and walk away peacefully. I finished and went to al-Aqsa in the morning....We tried to create clashes without success because of the differences of opinion that emerged with others in the al-Aqsa compound at the time....After Sharon left, I remained for two hours in the presence of other people, we discussed the manner of response and how it was possible to react in all the cities (bilad) and not just in Jerusalem. We contacted all (the Palestinian) factions. In the evening of the same day, Barghouti traveled to the Arab Triangle inside Israel where he was to participate in a conference. He confessed: While we were in the car on the way to the Triangle, I prepared a leaflet in the name of the Higher Committee of Fatah, coordinated with the brothers (e.g., Hamas), in which we called for a reaction to what happened in Jerusalem. Imad Falouji, the Palestinian Authority Communications Minister, said at a rally in Lebanon on March 3, 2001, that the violence had been planned in July, far in advance of Sharon's "provocation." He said: Whoever thinks that this [war] started as a result of Sharon's despicable visit to Al Aksa is in error. It was planned since Arafat's return from Camp David [where he] firmly stood up to Clinton and rejected the U.S. terms. The intifada has little to do with Sharon's visit, and everything to do with the Palistinian Arabs' political agenda.Sakhr Habash, a member of the Fatah's Central Committee, gave an interview to the Palestinian Authority newspapger, including this comment on the outbreak: [The Intifada] did not break out in order to improve our bargaining ability in the negotiations, nor as a reaction to Sharon's provocative visit to Al-Haram Al-Sharif: this was only the spark. It was accumulated in the depths of our people and was bound to explode in the face of Barak's government because of the political problem that was put off for more than a year and a half -- the problem of independence. Few wars break out spontaneously. And certainly not this one. Does anyone believe that Ehud Barak, who went to Camp David and offered the Palestinians peace terms of breathtaking generosity, would be starting a war? Does anyone believe that the most dovish government in Israeli history, feeling itself just inches away from concluding a permanent peace, would initiate gun battles? The plain fact is that Yasser Arafat, thrown on the diplomatic defensive by rejecting Barak's offer (to the astonishment and dismay of the American mediators), has done what he has always done: resort to violence to regain the initiative and, most important, mint new underage martyrs--on world television--to regain the international sympathy he had forfeited by turning down peace at Camp David.

26. ISLAMIC LIES & THE JIHAD AGAINST LEBANON'S CHRISTIANS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.12.06)
Sharon was NOT responsible for Sabra and Shatila! Lebanon was a Christian country until Muslims achieved a majority through an extremely high birthrate. The jihad against Lebanon's Christians was savage and barbaric. The IDF was the only hope for the embattled Christians. Click on Photo gallery of www.free-lebanon.com, 20,000 Christians handicapped by PLO atrocities. The Christians of Damour, Lebanon treated Muslims from surrounding areas free of charge in their hospital. The PLO and other terrorists repaid the Christian kindness with barbaric savagery: The Massacre and Destruction of Damour 'The attack took place from the mountain behind. It was an apocalypse. They were coming, thousands and thousands, shouting 'Allahu Akbar! God is great! Let us attack them for the Arabs, let us offer a holocaust to Mohammad 'And they were slaughtering everyone in their path, men, women and children.' Whole families were killed in their homes. Many women were gang-raped..." http://www.free-lebanon.com/LFPNews/psa/psa.html Satanic acts were perpetrated on Damour Christians.
27. #16, you and people like you caused Intifadah
David Landman ,   Natick, USA   (01.12.06)
The fact that you dont acknowledge the Temple Mount as the holiest site to Jews. It has been that way for 2,500 years. It is because of your lack of history and understanding that caused the deaths. It is because of this you live in camps. Stop desecrating the Temple Mount and start learning facts. You caused your own problems. You dont even want a state, just want to blame others for the problems you have created and refuse to fix. 100 years and you have learned nothing. You deserve nothing for your ignorance and complaining.
28. Shame the international press ignores this stuff
Robert Goldman ,   cooper city Florida   (01.12.06)
Ever noticed that they just don't care!

Mohammad ,   Gaza   (01.12.06)
To Christopher You hated me because of my name. That's said all I guess. I did not mention any fact about our religions. I was mentioning real facts about Sharon. I do not need to write comic books as long I am reading posts like yours. Enjoy your stay in the US & leave us talk with more human jews in Israel than the one in the States. Talk is cheap from far away when your relatives are safe and ours are not.
30. Allah is getting angry
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS USA   (01.12.06)
It appears that the Allah of the past, now almost extinct original Islam is staging acomeback and is prepared to strike at the heretics usurping his dogma: Massive stampede causes deaths among haj pilgrims By ASSOCIATED PRESS MECCA, Saudi Arabia Muslim pilgrims rushing to complete a symbolic stoning ritual at the haj stampeded Thursday, tripping over luggage, and an unknown number of people were killed in the crush, the Interior Ministry said. The Arab television news station Al-Arabiya reported dozens of pilgrims died. The stampede broke out as tens of thousands of pilgrims filed past al-Jamarat, a series of three pillars representing the devil that the faithful pelt with stones to purge themselves of sin. The ritual has seen deadly stampedes in the past, including one in 1990 that killed 1,426 people and another in February 2004 that killed 244. Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki, a ministry spokesman, said the stampede happened as pilgrims were rushing to complete the last of three days of the stoning ritual before sunset. Some pieces of luggage spilled from moving buses in front of one of the entrances to al-Jamarat, causing pilgrims to trip and pile up, al-Turki said. Al-Turki said there were deaths but could not immediately give an exact number.
