31. Shot journalists
Eric Vaughan ,   Toronto, Canada   (05.22.07)
What part of "even the best of all gentiles must be destroyed" didn't these people understand? I'll bet these are the same loonies who take their eyes off their children around Passover.

Khaled ,   Jerusalem   (05.22.07)

They are enemies ,   USA   (05.22.07)
complaining!
37. #28 you are a sick puppy! The aid will continue
Terry ,   USA   (05.22.07)
because the majority of Americans know the true truth of the Palistinian Arab atrocities. Also, we have a good experience with them in Iraq.
38. #28 Don - So, sweetie, aren't you a little bit sick of
Judy Y   (05.22.07)
Iraqi behavior, Sudanese behavior, Lebanese Palestinian behavior, PA Palestinian behavior, Iranian behavior, Afghani behavior, ad nauseam??? Or just Israeli behavior? And by the way, I'm also part of the international community and I'm sick of Leftists and racists who point to Israel defending itself but never see the massacres and atrocities of all kinds occurring right this minute all over the world.
39. Guns at journalists
ussishkin ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (05.22.07)
Its good to see that bully boy red necks are alive and well and living as so-called security guards in Israel and supported by the YNet elite. And then "betrayed" by the international media, this elite will wail and bemoan the unbalanced press Israel gets. Spewing your usual 'biyuv' won't change the obvious facts. You earn for us the abhorrence of the outside world, which on the one hand you reject and ignore and on the other you play the cracked record of"no one loves us, no one understands our suffering!" Its time you either grew up or admitted that what you want is another Metzada. And in the end look at the brave Defence Ministry twisting the truth for all its worth. Absolutely shameless.
40. the guards obvioulsy need marksmanship training
dante ,   uk   (05.22.07)
41. Eric (31), I think that blood libel against Jews
sk ,   USA   (05.22.07)
is illegal in Canada, no?
42. #30 - Yeah, they shoot into the air
Judy Y   (05.22.07)
But the Jews don't kidnap them, behead them, or shoot to kill. That's a BIG difference
43. #34
Glenn ,   Canada   (05.22.07)
Mohammed, the Jews don't need islands, they have Israel. Israel has belonged to the Jews for thousands of years.
44. These so called "reporters" are problematic. They r not fair
Nasty creatures ,   USA   (05.22.07)
They empower the terrorists.
45. these "journalists" are propagandists of the "pals"
dante ,   uk   (05.22.07)
they are a lazy, craven, arrrogant, ignorant, sanctimonous lot. and, they are relentlessly anti-Israel. yeah, they mumble the usual pieties about Israel's right to exist. but they spend their lives undermining Israel. they subject Israel to miscroscopic scrutiny and begin any examination of "palestine" with blinders on. I would turn all the swine from bbc, afp, nyt, et al. over to the terrorists.
46. I truly pray
ted ,   mo usa   (05.22.07)
for the day palistine will return to her rightful owners.
47. 32 khaled
get it right   (05.22.07)
move to Egypt, Iran ect and then lecture about "human rights"
48. with YNET
gabriela ben ari ,   jerusalem   (05.22.07)
calling an Israeli thriving town as EFRAT a: "west bank settlement" Do we stand a chance against the whole world to defend ourselves?
49. Press needs to be protected
JPS ,   Efrat   (05.22.07)
As a resident of Efrat, I would like this story checked out, and if true, the guards should be arrested and charges filed. Were the journalists all registered with the Government Press Office and were they visibly identifiable? Were they in a location where people would not normally be located? Despite the number of offensive (and in my opinion disgusting) talkbacks posted, freedom of the press is an important cornerstone of any democracy and must be protected. If talkbackers don't like to read the material these reporters posted, then fine. However, there is no such thing as "open season" on journalists, and if this story is true, the guards should be prosecuted.
50. #30 ?racism?
avi ,   ny   (05.22.07)
I thought it was only Americans that practiced racial McCarthyism. Do you even know the races of the journalists? No wonder you were too embarrassed to leave your name. What a scheisskop!
51. These men are protecting Israel
Avraham ,   NYC   (05.22.07)
52. #47 !NAH
kHaled ,   Jerusalem   (05.22.07)
Am staying here.... You, the security guards and everyone else is free to wherever he feels more comfortable at.
53. those photos
(05.22.07)
upper photo: what a lot of lovely smoke - courtesey of Photoshop? lower photo: no smoke and the guard appears to be talking and gesturing, gun in one hand and mobile phone in the other. Am I being cynical? after the Lebanon war "journalism" maybe I have some justification.
54. Let me get this straight
Lina ,   USA   (05.22.07)
The security fence exists to prevent blood thirsty Palestinian terrorists from entering Israel to kill people. Four armed security guards were on duty to protect the fence. The protesters and reporters knew in advance that guards patrol with weapons. The protesters arrive like lemmings for publicity hoping to provoke a response by the guards or IDF on duty. There have been prior incidents where protesters arrived with weapons in addition to their rock throwing routine and attempted to harm the guards. There were 4 guards and 100+ protesters. The guards shot into the air as a warning for the protesters to back off. No one was hurt. Now the protesters and their accomplices (reporters) still complain even though their mission was accomplished. They got to report on the mean Israeli security guards who scared them away with guns. Look at it this way, the Palestinian reporters can't report on news in Gaza for fear of being kidnapped and they can't report on Sderot for fear of being killed by Palestinian kassams. The fence protest is their safest option.
55. 52#Khaled: OK so now stop lecturing
you got it right, U ,   know is better here   (05.22.07)
56. its a shame they are such poor shots.
(05.22.07)
57. Shooting justtified
moti ,   rbs   (05.24.07)
the so called protester have no buisness being there. they did not apply for a protest permit. they showed up. the security guards are not given the opportunity to a proper security check of the so called protesters. they can be suicide bmbers, they can have a pistol or knife. one has to protect themselves first and then worry about the politcal consquences later. better safe than sorry. remember israelis are not arabs. we dont kill for the hell of it. we are honest god fearing (to differnet degrees) family ppl. we want to work an honest days living and go home to our families. protecting ourselves is not aggression. by equating isralie and arab behavior is not right
58. HAMAS WILL SEND THE MUSLIM MICKEY MOUSE NEXT WEEK
hal tripp ,   la paz , bolivia   (05.24.07)
WHY DON'T THESE JOURNALISTS COVER THE FARFUR STOREY,NEXT WEEK ARREST ALL TRESPASERS INCLUDING THE PALESTINIAN JOURNALISTS ,THATS A LAUGH AND PUT THEM IN JAIL FOR 3 MONTHS, WE'LL SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE COME THE NEXT WEEK
59. Thats insane
Marcus   (05.28.07)
You people seriously need to read the 65 UN resolutions condemning Israel's actions, and read the history of its creation.
