1. I wonder
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Shomron   (11.30.06)
I wonder why Israel keeps calling Schem Nablus. Are we Jews or Arabs? Oi, better not to answer this!
2. routine what?
freeman   (11.30.06)
I guess routine operation means on a mission to kill a palestinian ... which is exactely what they always do...the army of child killers si o heroic not!
3. #1 because it is in occupied arab land, not in occupied
(11.30.06)
israeli land. Whole world knows this, but israel does not admit it.
4. #2 If someone throws a rock at you, its called self defense
(11.30.06)
To Shoot the Bugger What we should give mercy to rock throwers but not gernade throwers. Have you ever been under a shower of rocks?
5. #2 free idiot...
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.30.06)
Why don't you ask about the youths who are throwing rocks and firebombs at soldiers? What the hell are 15 year old kids doing in the streets? Why do their parents let them and encourage them to do this? There have been weapons smuggled into Gaza all the time. Israel has every right to routinely find and destroy these weapons before they're used to kill innocent Israelis. get it now? Moron!
6. #3...keep denying Israel's right to exist.
DR ,   Florida, USA   (11.30.06)
teach your children to hate the Jews, teach them to fight for Jerusalem and to kill infidels. this is how you people raise your children and then you wonder why the world hates you. Israel is there to stay. this is all history now and the sooner retards like you accept it, the sooner there will be peace on earth.

15. #11..who said anything about love?
DR ,   Florida, USA   (12.01.06)
Israelis and palestinians may never actually love each other, but I'm talking about TEACHING HATE. Israelis don't teach their kids to throw rocks and wear scuicide belts. They teach them to protect the country and the people. As soon as your culture gives up its pure hatred, the sooner a deal and peace can be achieved. It seems simple, but you never miss and opportunity yada yada yada!

its for BOTH sides
17. poor "palistinians"
toni ,   sabme   (12.01.06)
why would a 15 yr old be throwing rocks at an army? it makes no sense. but i suppose it dont have to make sense. as long as it conforms to the teachings of muhammed. no freedom in islam only submission.
18. nablus?
israeli ,   israel   (12.01.06)
Schem became Nablus just as the Land of Israel became Palestine, in an attempt to humiliate the Jews and deny their right to live in their own land. Schem was the first Israelite capital: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nablus#History Flavia Neapolis founded by the Romans 2 km to the west of Biblical Schem was corrputed into Nablus (no "p" in Arabic, just "b").
19. #11you also forgot to mention to thank
jerome ,   basalt, co   (12.01.06)
why shouldn't the Israelis love the Palis for all the love, honesty, and neighborly consideration they have shown. All the children the Palis target on purpose, that where just riding a bus or hav'n dinner with there families. 15 year old Palis with a bomb should be shot in the chest in my opinion. U.D.F.

Natan   (12.01.06)
Let me make it very simple for you to understand: You send your son to throw rocks and molotov cocktails with the intent to kill or harm me, i will shoot without one ounce of hesitation. In my eyes it is YOU that killed him, not me..GET IT MORON???
21. # 11
Natan ,   Philly, USA   (12.01.06)
I don't expect your children to love Israel. But how about you loving your children. Parents that send their children to fight soldiers are COWRDS.. Yes, it looks better on CNN or BBC. A dead child is better for your propaganda. Oh by the way, what are your adults doing while your children are fighting??? So next time, when you look for a definition of a COWARD in a dictionary, save your self the trouble and just look at a mirror!!!
22. To DR
(12.01.06)
Wow, how ignorant are you? First of all, those soldiers were operating in an area which is Palestinian territory. So the better question would be what were those Israeli soldiers doing in a Palestinian city. I don't know any group of people in the world who would quietly permit soldiers from an occupying power enter into their city. Palestinian youth have to deal with the harrasment and brutalization of the Israeli army since the day they are born. I'm sure many of them have had a parent, friend or family member that has been shot by Israeli soldiers. Thus, any time an Israeli soldier enters into the West Bank or Gaza they are in danger because of the years of oppression they have enforced upon the Palestinians. Just as suicide bombers are hated by Israelis, so are Israeli soldiers hated by Palestinians. You should blame the Israeli government for continuing an occupation that forces Israeli soldiers to harm and oppression Palestinians. And what do you mean what is a 15 year old doing on the streets? Go anywhere in the world and 15 year olds are allowed to freely roam the streets. Why should it be any different for Palestinians? Besides the raids by Israeli soldiers the streets of Palestine incredibly safe. 15 year olds in Palestine already find it extremely difficult to travel even out of their town. Most of them are simply locked in small ghettos and now you want them to be locked in their homes? When I was in the West Bank I played basketball and soccer with Palestinian youth, and let me tell you they would much rather be doing that than throwing rocks or molotov cocktails at Israeli soldiers. But when Israeli soldiers enter a Palestinian town it brings up years of pain and suffering for Palestinians causing emotions to run high on the Palestinian side. And honestly, what are rocks and Molotov cocktails being thrown by teenagers going to do against armored cars and M-16s?
23. To Everyone who thinks this kid deserved it...
(12.01.06)
If you all had to put up with half the crap Palestinians have to put up with from the IDF nearly every day since they are born, I'm sure you would be out there doing whatever you could against the IDF. The IDF humiliates and brutalizes Palestinians on a daily basis, so what do they expect? Flowers? Maybe they shouldn't go into Palestinian cities in the first place if they don't want to be in danger. I mean you wonder why Palestinians hate the IDF so much? Well I'm sure you would hate an occupying army that has probably killed at least on person you knew. Perhaps they demolished this kids home, or maybe raided his home late at night for no purpose other than to terrorize an innocent family. Maybe they pointed a gun at him when he was two years old and scared the hell out of him. Or how about being under curfew for days at a time? Who knows? But the fact is that most Palestinians have suffered some sort of injustice from the IDF. The way Palestinians feel about the IDF is the same way Israelis feel about terrorists. I know that Israelis suffer greatly, and Palestinians need to do a better job of recognizes this. But you all in these talkbacks need to realize the immense suffering the Palestinians go through too. I mean try to imagine what you would do if you had no political rights and very few economic rights. If you were not free and were under the control of an occupying force, what would you do? I don't imagine many of you would sit around and put up with it.
24. Occupation and consequences...
(12.01.06)
If the israeli people is happy to send their youths to kill unarmed arab teenagers let them continue But the future of Israel is perhaps not in the Middle East...
25. # 17 why would a 15 yr old be throwing rocks at an army? it
(12.01.06)
"why would a 15 yr old be throwing rocks at an army? it makes no sense..." I don't belive you. What were doing the setllers in Amona and hebron. Exactly the same thing. And just imagine that their was an army (say a british one) in Jeusalem can't you imagine some young jews which will throw rocks at the soldiers. Would it be illegitimate.
26. Good point #25
(12.01.06)
Let me take a shot at what his response will be: Palestinians don't deserve to be living in Jewish land so of course it would be legitimate for Jews to defend themselves in their homeland, but it's illegitimate for Palestinians, because they're in Jewish territory. In other words: He can't morally defend what has and is happening under the occupation, so he needs to make up some crap about how the Palestinians, just all of a sudden appear from nowhere, as part of an Arab conspiracy to prevent Jews from having their own homeland. You're not going to get a straight answer from him, because it is impossible to defend the occupation. So he's going to make up a story about how Arabs decided to move to Palestine after the Jews "made the desert bloom," to justify the stealing of land.

jerome ,   basalt, co   (12.01.06)
if the Israelis have put up with more than crap from the Palestinians and Arab countries since Israle was reborn. They could have had there own state and choose war and got what they deserved over and over again! They always made the wrong choices, they still want to sacrifice there young and keep them poor and ignorant so they can steal the Jews land. War stinks espeacially for the loser, the Palis.
28. #23 You don't seem to remember History
DANNY ,   America   (12.01.06)
The Arabs are getting all they deserve because they started an unprovoked war and to my recollection lost to Israel! Sorry but they are just enjoying the fruits of their actions. And still this war rages, but not because Israel chose it or wants it to continue. You and your arab assholes refuse peace. Duh? You all are not really getting what you deserve, but Hell comes after death. Quit your whining…. It's your evil work coming to haunt you, just remember Hell is looming too!
29. #23 those who are suffering are those who refuse peace
DANNY ,   America   (12.01.06)
Arabs who live in peace, as part of Israel have the same rights and living conditions as any Israeli! You are believing too many lies! It's only natural though... If you hear a lie long enough you start to think it's true. The lie started 60 some years ago and God knows it ain't true! So do I! You need to wise up and read a little history and skip the evil propaganda. These Pals you feel sorry for are exactly where they want to be. Refusing peace is a birthright with these fools and turning world opinion against Israel is their "Stock in Trade." Fact is they are doing a wonderful job and someday the whole world will join them to remove Israel from the land. But also on that day God himself will come and fight for Israel. Why do you think that is? Because you are believing the lies that God sees and as lies it angers Him he will defend Israel and your sorry ass will be dead! All because you believed a lie? Either that or you are just plan evil like those you seek to defend…
30. if throwing rocks is so innocent why does islam…
truth hurts ,   huh?   (12.01.06)
