4. Friends of Jimmy Carter boast about killing Jews
Cynic ,   USA   (02.26.07)
5. YNET IS NOT GIVING THE FACTS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (02.26.07)
Erez was found in a forest very close to Bat AYin were he went almost every day to do hisbododut (praying in one's own words).This is a breslov hassidic custom. So our friendly neighbours knew about his movements. So instead of printing lies,this man was in the middle of prayer and was stabbed being defensless. So what is YNET's point in printing none existing heroics from people who normally kill the weak and defensless among us. By now most people understand the twisted way of reporting by a lot of socalled news media. There is a constant printing of misrepresented facts and events,just to serve their own political agenda's. Journalism is supposed to based on research and fact finding,something that is not done. Why i know this,because i live minutes away from were he was found,by one of his friends.

8. Only cowards boast about murder....
DR ,   Florida, USA   (02.26.07)
of innocent people. Israel should have every right to remove these scumbags from the Earth. People who make excuses for and defend these terror scum are no different.
9. # 5 Thanks for the proper report.

10. settler's murder
Nechemia ,   World   (02.26.07)
Why did the IDF bothered to arrest the two perpetrators? They should have been shot on the spot and avoid the possibility of getting released on a prisioner swap.
11. He was killed by Abbass
Itzik ,   Haifa   (02.26.07)
Forget about "jihad". Every time Arafat was killing Jews, some of his subgangs claimed it. Stop calling it "jihad". He was killed by order of Abbass PA.
12. Why settling in the land owned by others?
Palestinian   (02.26.07)
Go back from where you came. This land is not yours. You cannot sieze lands and settle on them and expect to be treated nicely from others. Palestinians are not the American indians.... With my very very deep respect of our American Indians brothers.....

15. To number 6.
Palestinian   (02.26.07)
It is not about hating Jews as you may think! It is not true.... Do not use this as a motto to hide the mistakes of some Jews, particularly the zionists.... When someone does wrong, do not hesistate to name it whether he is Jew, muslims, or Christian... The zionists have simply chosen to ignore the rights of others. They have immigrated to this land using their religion as a mean and excuse to fight the native Palestinian population that existed here for thousands of years.... The zionists had not respect for a Muslim or a Christian. Many Palestinian Christians had to leave to Lebanon and Syria because of this zionists invasion. It is not muslims who suffered only. You people choose to ignore that fact that most Jews living in Palestine are not indigenous, and are living by force in this land. Palestinians have never been uprooted throughout history even in Crusade time. When this land came under the Islamic conquest. Palestine remained Christian.... However, Islam spread in the Levant just like it did spread in Arabia itself. Palestinian peasants are deeply rooted in this land. If you take their lands and establish a settlement, it does not make you legitimate. Even if this settlement has cable TVs, internet access, etc that a nearby Palestinian town does not have!
16. Shocked and outrage focus on spit
Steve ,   USA   (02.26.07)
B"H You know there was so much focus on spit at high levels, and when a peaceful Jew gets murdered there are no Prime Minister announcements. The Jews of Hebron were "nice" by not standing so focefully and this is the result where the murderers even so went for the blood of a man peaceful in at prayer because they did not fear his revenge. This is an outrage that such a person could be murdered in cold blood without serious consequence on the part of those who dispatched the murderers. Permitting such murderers to continue in their ways cannot be permitted. I should be glad that I am not a general of the armed forces because my intuition is to do what is necessary to prevent such behavior even if there is rebuke for standing up to the murderers.
17. to # 5 and others
Andras Bereny ,   Kfar Tapuah, Shomron   (02.27.07)
Not only the facts are misrapresented, this great Jewish artist is completly de-humanised by the islamic-jihad term "settler" in the title. Over and above settling his Land, he was a jew and a talented singer. Let me thank # 1 Jew from Earth for the links, I keep listening them all evening. G-d bless you good Jews out there and don't give up hope: We'll win!
18. #15 versus the truth
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.27.07)
the arabs have concocted such a web of lies that even they are starting to believe it! the population figures of the ottoman empire do not support the idea that the arab population of israel has been there "for thousands of years" - in fact, most of them migrated from arabia AFTER the eastern european jews started draining the swamps and building the cities. not only was there not a "palestine" for thousands of years, but the arabs wouldn't even use the term "palestine" to refer to themselves until 1963, which is odd, since it doesn't coincide with either israel's independence, or with the six-day war. rather, it coincides with egypt;s need to apply pressure, in the form of terrorism, upon israel, and led by egyptian-born yasser arafat. you should ask, instead, what happened to the truly thousand-year-old jewish communities of hebron, gaza, jericho, and east jerusalem, among others, that were destroyed by the arabs?
19. #12: wrong!
tom ,   toronto, canada   (02.27.07)
if you study history, even the koran, you will learn a simple lesson: israel was the land of the jews 2,000 years before mohammed was born. 1,000 years before mohammed was born, jews lived in a sovereign jewish state with its capital in jerusalem. even the term "al quds" refers to "al quds al yahoud". and arabs lived in the deserts of arabia. it is the palestinian arabs, including the "hashemite king" of jordan, are are the invaders and the foreigners who should "go back where they belong". no matter how much you try to destroy the evidence, you cannot deny the history of the world, with lies in the name of jihad.
20. Anti-semitic murder deserves the death penalty
Steven ,   San Francisco   (02.27.07)
Anti-semitic murder is of course a hate crime. What's key here is that the victim was readily identifiable as a religious, in the act of religious Jewish prayer, and this is what triggered the murder. Because of this it is a murder with aggravating circumstances that should warrant a capital punishment conviction.
21. #15 "Palestinian" cable TV, internet access
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.27.07)
Um El Fahm is a 100% JEWS-FREE Arab town in ISRAEL and I see plenty of satellite dishes, lavish mansions, fancy cars. Obviously you have a computer and Internet access from somewhere or you would not be on this talkback spewing your crap. "Palestinians" did not and do not own this land. All the land that was not directly purchased by Jews from absentee Turkish landlords was won in a defense action against a war of annihilation. You can whine, seethe and moan all you want, YOU FREAKING LOST THE WAR YOU STARTED, and there are no "do overs" in war.

23. Two Arab settlers for murdering a Jewish resident.
Daisy ,   USA   (02.27.07)
That should be the real headline shouldn't it Ynet?
24. To 21, so you started the war from Poland and Russia
another Pal   (02.27.07)
or you sneaked and immigrated to this land under the cover of the British colonialism, and formed militias like the Irgun to terrorize the Palestinian villagers. Zionists committed many massacres against the Palestinians long before any war declared on them, the first of which was in 1948! Read the history and Stop your crap! Palestinians are deeply rooted here. They are more related in blood to the Israelites and Canaanites and every population inhabited this land than you do.
25. To number 19... Again more mistakes in this
(02.27.07)
Do not forget that Christianity was borned out of Judaism! The fact that the faith of the people in Palestine 2000 years ago was Jewish, changed to Christian for 600 years, and later to Islam, does not means that at each of these stages the indigenous population was uprooted. People changed faith not blood. Else, how do you explain that the number of Jews world wide is dropping. Just like Arabia converted to Islam, this region the Levant also did convert to Islam in its majority... Note also another fatal mistake. Israelites themselves invaded the Arabian tribes of Canaan. The Canaanites themselves were Arabians.. Palestine is in northern Arabia if you open the map and have a look on it. Syrian was inhabited by Arabian tribes since before Israelites moved from Egypt. The idea of who owns what will simply doom to fail.

27. He was a father of 3 . . .
P. Rubin ,   New York, NY   (02.27.07)
and killed because he was a Jew who wanted to live in the ancestral homeland of the Jewish people. But Ynet only calls him a "settler."
28. He was killed, because he was a JEW!!!

29. #12
Yaron   (02.27.07)
Just be glad we are a humane people......you could have had a state in 97% of what is disputed, but chose a suicide war instead...blame your leadership friend and stop crying about your perpetual failure to achieve your desreved independent country. One day we will drink coffee and do business together but until then be pragmatic about how to solve the dilemna of the status quo!
30. Erez Levanon
Yosef ,   Jerusalem   (02.27.07)
What is the source of the cruelty of the author of this article, who dehumanizes our murdered brother because he was a "settler"? He was a whole world. How can Jews speak this way about each other. "And Hashem said to Kayin: Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground!"
