7. He Shot Back in Church & SAVED LIVES
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (04.18.07)
When people are attacked, it is a grave mistake to believe the police will intervene. At Virginia Tech, the killer chained all the doors shut at Norris Hall. Police were on the campus but did not break into the building as the students were being shot and could not escape. At Columbine Colorado High School, police did not enter the building until after the two killers had finished murdering their victims and the killers took their own lives. When under attack, victims can rely only on themselves. Gun carrying law-abiding citizens could have saved many lives in both of these tragic instances. Gun-control laws ensure citizens are left defenseless. Savage killers: armed and dangerous. Muslim terrorists repeatedly attack places of worship: In "Shooting Back: The Right and Duty of Self-Defense," van Wyk... found himself in a church attacked by terrorists. "Grenades were exploding in flashes of light. Pews shattered under the blasts, sending splinters flying through the air," he recalls of the July 25, 1993, St. James Church Massacre. "An automatic assault rifle was being fired and was fast ripping the pews -- and whoever, whatever was in its trajectory -- to pieces. We were being attacked!"... "Instinctively, I knelt down behind the bench in front of me and pulled out my .38 special snub-nosed revolver, which I always carried with me,"... During that Sunday evening service, the terrorists, wielding AK-47s and grenades, killed 11 and wounded 58. But the fact that one man – van Wyk – fired back, wounding one of the attackers and driving the others away... http://shop.wnd.com/store/item.asp?ITEM_ID=1960
8. you who have found refuge...
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.18.07)
in a Jewish homeland I am carving up and rewarding to those intent on destroying all of you. I throw you out of your homes and land and you lick my boots. I can easily fool you with my smooth words and you once again go silently to the death camps in the shrinking ghetto of Israel.
9. bush
cody green ,   stoughton   (04.18.07)
bush is just looking for simpathy and what he did is the best way to do it.
10. YOU ARE ALL UNINFORMED
SHULI ,   CLEVELAND USA   (04.18.07)
BUSH HAS BEEN THE MOST PRO-ISRAEL PRESIDENT THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN. HE REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE TERRORISTS, HAMAS INCLUDED. HE SUPPORTED ISRAEL DURING ITS BOTCHED WAR EVEN AS THE REST OF THE WORLD PRESSURED ISRAEL TO END THE FIGHTING. HE IS GOING AFTER IRAN. YOU WHO BASH BUSH FOR NOT SUPPORTING ISRAEL ARE IGNORANT.
11. Bush Haters
David Powell ,   Everett, Wa. USA   (04.19.07)
I would like refer to #2 and 9 as examples of limited mental capabilities who do not recognize compassion in President Bush if it bit them in the butt.
12. Prof Liviu Librescu reminds us once again all the losses
Tracy W   (04.19.07)
in the Holocaust. Here was a survivor that contributed to science and saved the lives of a group of future professionals, in addition to all he did for his family, friends, students, and all those who crossed his path. He was a remarkable man. How many contributions to humankind were lost by the senseless slaughter of millions of Jews, how many scientific advances were never made, how many heroic acts never happened, how many lives were never born. And inexplicably, the hatred against Jews continues...

14. Stop BETRAYAL at Airport! US Feds ENDANGER Thousamds
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (04.19.07)
Guarding America's freedom from Islamic conquest is NOT U.S. policy. Preventing Islamic conquest of all Israel is also NOT the U.S. agenda. There is no war on terror! Council on American-Islamic Relations: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." - Omar Ahmad (CAIR co-founder). WorldNetDaily.com August 18, 2006 Controversial Muslim group gets VIP airport security tour Feds show CAIR latest screening steps, sensitive counterterrorism procedures The Department of Homeland Security took a Muslim group with known past ties to terror organizations on a VIP tour of security operations at the nation's busiest airport at the same time British authorities were working to break up a plot to blow up U.S. airlines. On June 21, a senior DHS official from Washington personally guided Muslim officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations on a behind-the-scenes tour of Customs screening operations at O'Hare International Airport in response to CAIR complaints that Muslim travelers were being unfairly delayed as they entered the U.S. from abroad. CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association for Palestine, identified by two former FBI counterterrorism chiefs as a "front group" for the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. Several CAIR leaders have been convicted on terror-related charges. ...U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents were asked to describe for CAIR representatives various features of the high-risk passenger lookout system. In a meeting, Brian Humphrey, Customs and Border Patrol's executive director of field operations, assured CAIR officials that agents do not single out Muslim passengers for special screening and that they must undergo a mandatory course in Muslim sensitivity training. The course teaches agents that Muslims believe jihad is an "internal struggle against sin" and not holy warfare. Customs agents involved in the CAIR tour at O'Hare tell WorldNetDaily they were outraged that headquarters would reveal sensitive counterterrorism procedures to an organization that has seen several of its own officials convicted of terror-related charges since 9-11. "Isn't that nice of CBP," one agent said, to provide a "group like CAIR with a guided, behind-the-scenes tour of our customs facilities, explaining how programs designed to catch Muslim terrorists work." A Customs and Border Protection supervisor... "It's all about how Islam means peace and tolerance," he told WorldNetDaily. "We're told how to deal with Arabs and Muslims, that they are loving people and not terrorists. That jihad is struggle with sin and has nothing to do with violence." CAIR – which is bankrolled by the Saudis and the United Arab Emirates, two countries that formally recognized the Taliban – also offers religious and cultural sensitivity training about Islam and Muslims to the military... Also in June, CAIR was invited by the Pentagon to a ceremony dedicating the first Islamic center in Marine Corps history at Quantico headquarters outside of Washington. Washington-based CAIR also has regular meetings with the FBI and Justice Department. In fact, FBI case agents complain the bureau rarely can make a move in the Muslim community without first consulting with CAIR, which sits on its advisory board... http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51573 Addressing a youth session at the 1999 Islamic Association for Palestine's annual convention in Chicago, CAIR founder Omar Ahmad praised suicide bombers who "kill themselves for Islam," http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=52184 We are witnessing the death of Western civilization.

15. #11 David - Bush Haters?
Otter ,   Canada   (04.19.07)
Those talkbacks you refer to are not really about Bush. They reflect resentment and envy that a Jew is a true hero recognized by the President of the United States and admired with gratitude by many people. They can't stand it!
16. Liviu Librescu
Cheryl ,   Ca/USA   (04.19.07)
Was as brave as any HERO I have ever read about. God Bless Hoakies

gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (04.19.07)
18. Thanks Israel
Roch ,   Albuquerque NM, USA   (04.19.07)
Thank you for raising a child to save the lives of America. While Bush is wrong in asking Israel to give up land, I do believe his words are heart felt. Pray for him to realize his folly. Yes he has a heart for Israel, just pray that his heart becomes in line with the will of G-d for Israel.
19. # 15 you think so?
stephen ,   ludlow usa.   (04.19.07)
Bush will speak good words as he cuts your legs off. He arms hamas. He demands that the jew give up their land. His road map to peace is just what daniel speaks of, when he writes, (And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries; 11:32 But as it is written, it shall happen, wishing it not to be so, will not change anything.
20. The Hero was a US citiz but US papers say Israeli
Nina ,   bristol UK   (04.19.07)
why highlight he had dual citizenship when his name would have been enough . the Press in the US said Israeli saves lives . that was a political statement only . But i respect and admire his courage and bravery too.
21. GOD BLESS BUSH.
SUSAN ,   ISRAEL   (04.19.07)
22. #3
Talula ,   Israel   (04.19.07)
Just want to remind you that we are living in the year 2007 - no-one talks like that anymore. Have you any idea how stupid you sound? I thought not.
23. Rivera
Libneniyyeh ,   Lebanon   (04.19.07)
My God you have such a one track mind. How are your talkbacks relevant to this article? Can't you simply (you and others) say rest in peace without mouthing off venomous propaganda? I fail to imagine a human being sitting behind your computer. I only see a robot, a machine with eerily glowing eyes. At least some of the talkbackers express human emotion, be it anger, sympathy, irritation, etc. You express nothing at all.
24. And by the way
Libneniyyeh ,   Lebanon   (04.19.07)
Two of the students killed were Lebanese. As a mother, I can only say God give strength and patience to the parents of all those children who died.
25. #11 & # 19 - Regarding Bush
Otter ,   Canada   (04.19.07)
I happen to agree that the US is not as good a friend of Israel as some people think. I know that it intends to sacrifice Israel for the sake of its own deals with Arabs in the ME. That much is obvious. All the important demands (land concessions, how to fight a war, where to allow settlements, etc.) are made of Israel. The Arabs are just expected to "be nice" and recognize Israel. There are unhealthy financial links between the Bush family and the Saudis. And so on. However, these anti-Bush talkbacks here and other similar ones I've read elsewhere questioning Mr. Librescu's true nationality, etc., are just a reflection of pure envy and resentment at the admiration he has inspired in the whole world. It's a matter of reading between the lines.
26. I meant to say the admiration Mr Librescu has inspired
Otter   (04.19.07)
Not Bush. It's not clear on my sentence. Sorry.
27. When the professor was killed, a light went out in the world
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (04.19.07)
The professor spent his life helping people and gave his life to save innocents. It is what Judaism teaches. It is what Jews believe. #12 Tracy W says it all - we have lost so much through the murder of extremely precious six million Jews. Six million lights in the world went out. We will NEVER forget. Never Again.
28. This Man's Religion
David ,   New England   (04.19.07)
This man gave his life so that many would live. Others wear bombs so that many will die. Islam targets people of his religion for death, and some can't see the difference? The Creator knows the difference.
29. 25-- I hope you are RIGHT!!!
AMERICNA ,   USA   (04.19.07)
why dont you Canooks become Israels welfare dad. We are tired of it- and its getting us HATED world wide. AMERICA FIRST.
30. 18-- Credit goes to ROMANIA
(04.19.07)
this man spent a mere 7 years of his entire life in Israel- yes, hes a jew, but most of his 'raising was in romania.
