31. #28 OK, Where's the 'terror' inflicted on these two Pals?!
Scott   (04.13.07)
That's right blind observer - there was none. Anyone can see that - show evidence of 'terrorising' these twits.

yaakov ,   yesha   (04.13.07)
they could use yours but by your talk-back history, yours are in mohammeds hands already.
33. re: #25 Arab compassion
Igor D. ,   New York   (04.12.07)
you say that arabs would never use kids for human shield. Who are you kidding. Its exactly these lies that make talking to arabs impossible. They say one thing and do another. Just remember hizbulla this past summer.
34. #25- N.I., you & your fellow Arabs are the..................
Cameron ,   USA   (04.12.07)
last people on the planet to have any right to speak to others about proper or civilized behavior.
35. #25 So do you only see what Jews do and not muslims?
casey ,   USA   (04.12.07)
In the war with lebanon this summer when hizbullah had their rocket launchers in peoples backyards where was your outcry? When hizbullah set up their men in restaurants in the middle of customers where was your outcry? When hizbullah was surrounded by Israeli soldiers going from door to door, and the cowardly terrorists came out of the houses with small chidren in front of them where was your outcry? When Iraq was invaded and the Third Army wanted to sneak past the US tanks with civilians tied to the front of their trucks where was your outcry? When a young palestinian boy was used by his dad in a gun fight between the IDF and the father brought his 2 yr. old boy out to be filmed by the camera crew, and a stray bullet hit the young boy where was your outcry? I'm from the US and it's hard for me to think that such a 2 faced hypocrite such as yourself even gets a chance to pollute the very air I breath and just take up space on this otherwise beautiful earth. You truly are a boil on the butt of humanity.
36. human shields
assi ,   toronto   (04.13.07)
The Israeli supreme court should realize that conventional armies have great difficulty fighting suicide or roadside megabombs-witness iraq, israel, lebanon, algeria, afganistan. Anything that makes bombers think twice, whether their families may be harmed or using civilian shields where civilians routinely endorse such terror tactics must be considered. On the other hand, If the country wishes to be known as absolutely democratic and doesn't mind being destroyed, then may be the supreme court is correct.
37. # 25 You say your muslim would never
Joe ,   USA   (04.12.07)
tell your kids to use kids as a shield...... What a comical statement. You muslims shoot a mother and her four children at close range in cold blood, and you have yet something to complain about ???
38. Why did the youth obey?
Youssef Haddad ,   Miami, USA   (04.12.07)
If the soldiers could not stop or arrest those throwing stones how did they scare the two youth into standing in front of their vehicle. The 2 could have ran away like the other who were throwing stones. Peace activists are well meaning fools who always end up duped by the instigators of trouble.
39. Exactly, they should have used the peace activist
Scott ,   Haifa   (04.13.07)
40. #25 N.I. No Intelligence - dont EVER preach about SHAME!
Scott   (04.13.07)
YOU PEOPLE are the LAST to EVER to preach about how others should behave! You people wrote the book of SHAME. 1. WHO says its YOUR land?! ( only you and your friends) THE LAND IS DISPUTED. 2. WHO happily uses their own children to murder others? ( YOU and your friends) THAT FACT IS UNDISPUTED. You say it is 'difficult for you to understand'. That is CLEARLY EVIDENT.
41. Go back to Texas Papa Jay

42. maybe there was a problem with the gas peddle
harold ,   pei canada   (04.13.07)
another story , to take a jab at the IDF
43. "Peace" Activists who interfere with the military carrying
Mind of my own ,   USA   (04.13.07)
out operations are no longer "peace" activists, but are hindering the military from protecting the security of its troops. If the IDF are such horrible bullies, they could easily have confiscated this "peace" activist's camera and detained him for questioning. The IDF soldiers will be the first to admit that they don't come with haloes around their heads, but they have every right to protect themselves from the violence of stone-throwers.
44. THE BRAVE IDF SOLDIERS ! :)
(04.13.07)
45. THE "BRAVE" IDF SOLDIERS ARE REAL COWARDS !

46. COWARDS !

47. How do you expect such cowards to face Hizbullah fighters !?
(04.13.07)
48. not only human shield, but also hostages

49. IDF = Major casue of anti-semitism around the world!
David ,   USA   (04.13.07)
Not in my name! Sopt putting star of David on their uniforms!!!!!
50. 44 - 48 Would you be happier if ...
Jonno ,   Oz   (04.13.07)
IDF just shot the stone throwers?
51. human shield
frank ,   netanya israel   (04.13.07)
can you imagine if the incident would have taken place the other way round - you probably wouldn't even have mentioned it
52. Very unfortunate
Margaret   (04.13.07)
But why are the Israeli soldiers the only one's being condemned in this story? Shouldn't the stone throwers,the real perpetrators of the violence here, being condemned as well? And as usual when violence is committed against Jews it never seems to make headlines. Just,today several shots were fired at Israeli cars in the West Bank this coming only one day after an Israeli civilian was injured by shots fired at his car near Hebron,no one was injured in these incidents,but several cars were damaged that in addition to the daily rockthrowing incidents. And on Palestinian television a Muslim cleric called for the genocide of the Jewish people. Apparently the human rights of Arabs or more important then the human rights of Jews according to this newspaper.
53. #44 - #48 Who is the real coward?
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.13.07)
You are the real coward here as you are even scared to sign your name! What those sodiers are doing is quite understandable. There is abolutely no violence here as they know that the arab youths will not stone their friends. Rather than shooting at the stone throwers which could cause injuries they chose to do something that would not be harmful. I actually think they were ingnious! Bravo IDF!
54. The hypocritical peace-activists!
Eric ,   Toronto   (04.13.07)
Talk about human shields: Where are these peace activists when the Palestinian terrorists and the Hezbollh use homes, schools and mosques endangering their own women and children? We never hear them! In this situation these peace activists really seem to be clutching at straws. What the Israeli sodiers have done was smart as it avoided further violence to themselves as well as to the Palestinian stone throwers through Israeli retaliation. Well done IDF.
55. who is the fagela journalist?
aj ,   ny   (04.13.07)
56. Ynet! You and I know...
enzo ,   london,uk   (04.13.07)
...who the FOREIGN activists in Nablus are (they are not that foreign, let's put it this way)!!! I have spent the whole evening defending the IDF on a bloody forum and read quite a bit about this incident!!! Now, past midnight, I have come here to rest my mind and found the same video against the IDF...!!! I can't believe my eyes!!! What's this world coming to...!!??
57. #53
(04.13.07)
real scum !
58. B-B-B-BBB-ut Rocks Aren't Dangerous!
A Yid ,   USA   (04.13.07)
A medina that punishes Jews for defending themselves against rock attacks is now in a quandary: If this is a "human shield" violation, the message is that stone throwing is in fact dangerous. If it ain't dangerous, where's the "human shield" problem? Stix & stonz....
59. #53 and YNET
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.13.07)
To YNET : You should be more selective about the messages you post on this talkback. I ask you: What contribution does a message such as #53 have to the talkback but ugly contempt. Your readers deserve some respect and you should censure such low class uneducated people who have nothing to say here but show their stupid contempt.
60. Soldiers are NOT COWARDS, our laws tie their hands!!!.....
j ,   jerusalem, Israel   (04.13.07)
....If they could fire at rock throwers (and not end up in jail 5min later) then there would be no need for such measures. Our laws and lawmakers are the real cowards. These soldiers are genius! LMAO> Boo hoo so a couple of rock throwers had to stand in front of a jeep for a few minutes. PATHETIC LEFT WING HYPOCRATS!
