It would be alot more prudent and appropriate for Ynet as a Jewish ? news source to stop being a tool for the Arab 'victims'. I rarely see all the Jewish victims highlighted on your pages with all their body parts bloodied. Is there a sane reason for this bias?

These talkbacks are more violent than the Israel Destruction Force attacks !

Uli, either you look well and deeply at the people who were assasinated by IDF or please buy youself glasses.I advise you also to go to Gaza hospital and check up the morgue, you will see Ahmad(7-years), Maher(11-years) and Muhammad (13-years old).I ask you aren't these children? What is a child for you? Please Uli be fair.

All of you who compare what the IDF does to terror are out of your minds. Retaliation and pre-emptive strikes stop terrorists from killing innocent people. This is a war and there will be collateral damages. Especially when the coward Palis hide among civilians. People are not stupid, they know Israel has to defend herself against a culture of terror and hate adn that's why Israel can do this without much opposition. Except from people like Ellen Prescott who has lost touch with reality.

My dear cousin, I had the same feeling as you have today when I heard about the dolphinarium brutal murders of fully innocent citizens ( hardly adults ) in 2001, and when the last 4 terror attacks , aimed also at innocent civilians too place in Israel. We are trying to tell the terror organisations that they should stop firing rockets under the very eyes of International observers ( which help us to defend ourselves in return ) , but the "leaders" of those terror cells believe that they can go unpunished...Sadly enough, this is not true anymore !

La thèse arabe mentionne un obus d'artillerie et cette thèse est en train de tomber à l'eau alors que toi, tu nous ressers la toute première hypothèse The arab version mentions a artillery shell and this version is going in a dead end because of Tsahal enquiry mentionning the absence of shelling at this moment. Where were you during all these development ? You come here mentionning the very very first (and in the meantime abandoned) irrelevant version. All the world knows nothing, in France, indeed medias only publish and mention the pro-arab version for ideological and demographical reasons but I hope some other country's journalists are doing their job properly so that you'll no longer be able to propagate those lies.

Criminals Academy Award: the Oscar goes to ISRAEl for the well-plotted, blood-splashed movie " Kill Gaza".

The Israelı mılıtary ıs gettıng crazed and feel powerless to stop the Palestınıans from retalıatıng so they revert to theır usuall tactıc of takıng reveng on the helpless Palestınıan chıldren and the ınnocents...we have had enough lıes Israel...get out of Palestıne and stop the state terrorısm you have been practıcıng

ıf anythıng thıs wıll only brıng more trouble to the ısraelı cıvılıans ıf there are any jewısh poeple ın Israelı who can be consıdered cıvılıans....

stop shooting Qassams peace will come directly

Of course there is occupation in gaza- it's called terrorism-the ONLY occupation the quran permits the palis to be employed in

The rocketeers should either a) inform the idf of the time and co-ordinates of launching b) transfer all civilians out of northern Gaza c) fire the rockets from barges out to sea or d) replace explosive warheads with olive oil and wild thyme

"We drink the blood of Jew" video as seen in Feb 2006 on Hamas TV. Emed I hear your crazy fundamentalists dont have any cinemas in Gaza so your choice of career as a film critic may be ill judged.

I agree with you, not only U.K but also U.S.A ought not to be occupied by jews.

there is a war going on - a nasty, genocidal war to eliminate israel. *all* the palestinian leaders, including abbas, are part of it, and they will use any and every opportunity to incite hatred and violence. they will also use every available weapon, including propaganda, against israel, and they have no qualms about killing innocent people, including their own. so far, this is the second instance this week where israel is being blamed for explosions that were caused by the palestinians, intending to kill israelis. (it is wrong to call these "accidents".) israel must make a determined effort to put forward the truth, and show these "peaceful" palestinian leaders for what they are. END THE (PLO) OCCUPATION NOW!

Terror does not need to be fed! How, I agree we have to face the truth, which Palestinian has been killed day and night; Israeli's Army is surrounding them, to leave them without any hope, I think if you visit Gaza just for one night you will left it next day because the truth tells Israeli at least bombarding empty lands so you will be frightened and unable to sleep, so I hope to hear from me, Are this actions will feed Palestinian with Love and make from them Peace seeker. When Israeli's government prevent aids and salaries go to Palestinian people to let them face Hunger Will they say Wow you are very nice and you are pushing us to respect you more. Come on my friend Let us really face the truth.

With all due respect, what is a child to you Palestinians? If you cared about your children why don't you send the message to your fellowmen who advocate terror to do so away from these children? Israelis genuinely regret these unnecessary deaths. I wish those who cause them would feel the same. Will you be fair in your judgment?

Ignorant comment by someone in total denial of the true facts.

Also in denial of the true facts! Come to your senses and get your people to stop firing qassams!

"Criminal creature" - LOL!!! I love that one! I've never stolen anything in my life!! The land which I own was bought with my money. There were no Aboriginals living in my neighbourhood ever. No ancient burial grounds or cave paintings, just a nice old house which I bought with my hard earned cash! Shmuck. I have no connection to the UK what-so-ever. Im first generation Australian...a real Aussie! One of my parents is 7th generation Israeli and the other is a child of Holocaust survivors. So your silly assumptions are WAAAAY off. You obviously are very uneducated and have no reason to have any input on this message board. Are you a self-hating Jew? Liberal-minded lefty american Jews make me SICK to the stomach. Appeasing terror makes you just as bad as the terrorists. So Henry, instead of bagging aussies, buy a ticket here, so you can ride some kangaroos, drink some VB or chuck a good ol' shrimp on the barbi! Coz Australia is one of the most multi-cultural countries in the world, and dont bag it till you try it!

how would you define terrorism? the US forces (DoD) have categorically refused to give it any form or taxonomy, mainly because they'd be underlining their own barbarism (politically motivated bombings? murdering of civilians? psy-ops?). in effect we're left with terrorism being what they tell you it is. this is unacceptable, so perhaps we could think of it together DR. Terrorism: woah, at etymology online they describe modern terrorism as shown by 'jewish tactics against the british in palestine, 1947'. that won't do, let's go a little deeper: is it coercing an aggregate through psychological means? if this is the case, what induces terror more readily than a governments weapons of war? let's look at an attack chopper: you can hear it anywhere from 5-10 kilometers away, pounding the air (research into resonance and air pressure's effects on the psyche would indicate that this'll unrelenting thump induces the 'fight or flight' reflex). add the knowledge that a low-flying helicopter is likely military grade, flying over your home (village, suburbs, community, daughter's school). and further, they are mid-operation... there go the missiles, loud boom, screaming children, glazed-eyed wounded wondering around deaf and bleeding. could this be terrifying? by claiming that these attacks aren't acts of state terrorism, you are implicitly stating that the Pals are not human. this is abhorrible. military operations without judicial process = terrorism.

Arabs and Jews couldn't be further from peace at the moment. This doesn't mean it is impossible to reach peace. For peace to succeed both sides have to want it. The way to peace is very long at the moment but, to achieve it there have to be overtures from BOTH sides. Inshallah there will be salaam!

You believe the 'ethical' IDF report? The same IDF that exonerates rapists and child-killers amongst its officers? have you ever heard of a landmine killing 7 people? the very fact that you supply 3 possible alternatives means that none of them can uphold under scrutiny. the IDF killed picnicers: deal with it you apologist.

Gaza will never be a viable economic entity. It has typical third world problems arising from its own backwardness. It kids itself that all its problems are due to 'Zionist Occupation'. Gaza is just another Somalia, Afganistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Congo, Zimbabwe or other backwards hell hole whose greatest curse is its own ignorant over populated corrupt good for nothings. That is the real truth you should face.

Daniel 40 - Henri 00 ;-)

you tried the same line of argument on me once, something i read as: 'but aren't you a colonialist xenophobe aggressor too? look what you've done to Canada!' assuming i'm roughly 120-175 years old, how do you think i feel? too, what reason would henry have to decry the occupation? why would, having these horrible things done to the natives (even down to sports teams' names: Braves, Redskins... can you imagine a German team called the Kykes? akin in insult). Is it any surprise then that people from countries roughly 4-8 times older than israel would advocate peace? stop defusing the issue by pointing elsewhere, and try listening to others. it is exactly for these global atrocities that you mention that people speak of peace.

As President Abbas said, Israel is trying to wipe out the Palestinian people!
