2. This is nothing
(06.07.07)
compared to what the palestinian population is suffering o0n a daily basis from this racist IDF. STOP HURTING CIVILIANS. I suppose that one of the haters in the talkbaks will say that this palestinian family was hiding a wanted man. STOP YOUR UGLY PROPAGANDA All the world is against what you are doing
3. WAR
War ,   is war   (06.07.07)
WAR - what is it good for? Absolutely nuthin! Sadly, Israel has war wagged upon her. 24/7. WHAT THE F DO PEOPLE EXPECT DURING WAR which is exactly what the palestinians are wagging. The 'Poor Palo underdogs' are the cause for everything going on here! "Reap what you sow". OR (to the Arabs who call themselves 'Palestinian'; Start teaching your children the truth, the history, the facts. AND PLEASE stop poisoning their pliable minds with hate and lies! SHALOM
4. IDF Didn't Ignore The Incident, They Helped!
nell ,   switzerland   (06.07.07)
So what's all the fuss about? A la guerre comme à la guerre. The people were immediately taken to a hospital and given the best treatment, what else do you want?

6. Don't forget to milk this incident for all it's worth
Talula ,   Israel   (06.07.07)
And here, they are doing just that: "The village council member said that a similar incident happened in Janiyeh about a month ago. "I hope that this phenomenon of soldiers abusing innocent residents in the village stops," he concluded. So, any more stories to tell while you have a journalist's attention? Maybe you would like to relive the shock and revulsion you felt when two Israeli soldiers were lynched in Ramallah in October 2000 by a bunch of savages, their bodies covered in blood and thrown out of a window. No? Would you like the world to forget that happened? I bet you would. Disgusting people with no future, and no wonder.
7. What about me???
enzo ,   london,uk   (06.07.07)
A whole article to inform the world that this morning a family was "lightly hurt after inhaling gas."!!! Well, that's a biased article. I am SEVERELY hurt in central London every day for inhaling gas, but YOU never report it...!!!
8. #1 It is indeed a headline
English guy ,   London, UK   (06.07.07)
It would be headline if the US army shot tear gas into a home at 2:30 am. It would be if the Britsh army did so, and since the Israeli army did so it is indeed a headline. We might also note that the IDF only seems to shoot tear gas into sleeping peoples' homes when those people are non-Jews. I don't recall the IDF shooting tear gas into a Tel-Aviv suburban apartment. There was also no mention in the article that the IDF were in the village for any reason.. i.e. on the trail of anyone, or trying to arrest someone. It seems that the tear gas grenade was simply lobbed by good IDF soldiers into a nasty Arab residence. Well - that it great PR for the IDF or the Aliya department "come to Israel, we don't go paintballing, we have real fun. We throw tear gas grenades into the houses of innocent people while they sleep." Sure to attract many xenophobe Americans.
9. headline
chuck ,   usa   (06.07.07)
when was the last time ynet published an article with the headline ARAB TERRORISTS MUST STOP TERROR?????????
10. And......
Poitcha ,   Israel   (06.07.07)
1. Iran should stop their vile threats to eliminate the JEWISH HOMELAND. 2. Hamas and Fatah terrorists in the Palestinian Autonomous areas (NOTE: NOT the occupied areas) should stop firing Kassam rockets into the Jewish homeland. 3. The Palestinian Authority should get their so called MICKEY MOUSE off their TV screens. 4. The Palestinian Authority should ban ALL current textbooks used in their schools that do not even register Israel on their maps/stop the printing of antisemitic remarks in their textbooks/stop inciting hatred of the Jews, the Americans and the free world at large in their textbooks.... 5. The Palestinian Authority should take the millions that have been allocated to its people and build institutions worthy to its people...for instance, schools, hospitals, local clinics, not to mention...parklands (instead of terrorist training camps..), amusement parks, etc. 6. They should also use the monies to get their people out of the squalor they have put them in and teach them that their suffering will merely lead to more suffering..... 7, 8, 9, 10......the list is endless.
11. Oh, I forgot....
Poitcha ,   Israel   (06.07.07)
# 1 billion: Their leaders/parents should tell their children the truth...and stop all the vile lies that they spew out day in and day out........give them hope, love, warmth, understanding, etc....like people in civilized countries do.
12. #2: the headline in hebrew was different
learn hebrew   (06.07.07)
It was "syat ki ba li"... which mean, "simply coz I liked to ". The item isn't about throwing gas granade, it happenes alot and it's fine when the army chooses to gas children instead of bullets. Here the story is about another phenomena of "soldiers" who make fun of the suffer of the ppl they occupy.
13. #11 Poitcha - exactly
War ,   is war   (06.07.07)
my thoughts. 100% !!
14. #2 The one sided wonder
Talula ,   Israel   (06.07.07)
What's the difference between that 'innocent family' and the people living in Sderot that live with constant rockets being launched at them? What did they do?
15. #8 there is usuallly no need to use teargas
(06.07.07)
in a TA apartment or any other place Jews are living. These women and children suffer terribly at the hands of the male members of their communities and ultimately the blame lies with them, not the IDF.
16. Tell us other stories please. This isnt a story .
Alan ,   SA   (06.07.07)
17. Good story for Guardian&BBC

English guy ,   London, UK   (06.07.07)
In the average level of talkbacks, the comment in #15 is particularly dense - in the northern English sense of that word. "These women and children suffer terribly at the hands of the male members of their communities..." Do you have solid evidence that this family suffered abuse? If so, is the solution to abuse a couple of tear gas cannisters? "Ultimately the blame lies with them, not the IDF". I see. They went to bed at night, fell asleep and somehow they are responsible, in their sleep, for the tear gas cannisters. The logic of the post #15 is brilliant. Good solid 1984 stuff. I don't believe that you thought for longer than a mega-second before you wrote your vile xenophobic piece of justification.
19. The majority here is right; think and act like Palestinian

20. #14 Talula: The Difference
Michael ,   Haifa   (06.07.07)
The difference is that you supposedly belong to a civilized society and they don't. But maybe I am mistaken as regards yourself.

IRA   (06.07.07)
you are very amusing talking to the Israelis about morality and ethics Did not you boys round up and lock Jews in barbed wire concentration camps on Cypr. Are not muslims swarming all over your little island just waiting for the right time to declare "dar al islam" You subjected thousands of Irish women and children to worse then this article.......for hundreds of yrs have some tea...........
25. #7what about me?
jo moor   (06.07.07)
The only reason you inhale gas is because you travel with a bunch of farts! Hold your breath, rather take a hike or a bike (better for the environment!
26. #18
joe ,   sheffield.uk.   (06.07.07)
"northern English",no such thing,no "eastern/western English " either. "Dense",you mean "thick" like in "thick as two short planks".If you are an English Guy I'll eat,not my hat,but my kippa.You're "making a rod for your own back".
27. ASPIRATIONS
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (06.07.07)
It is about time that many media people here,apply for a british pasport and get the hell out of here. Their aspirations will be welcomed by the BBC ,they do not have to change a damn thing in unfair biased reporting. If i was a soldier serving right now i would be pissed of having to defend a bunch of jerks. Like i wrote before stay of the drugs for a while,it will clear your heads .
28. #26 do us a favour
English guy ,   London, UK   (06.07.07)
F off. I was born in Lancashire - so don't bother joining all those freakos trying to tell me I am not English. Now back to the subject of throwing tear gas into the homes of sleeping people... or is it beyond you to deal with the subject of the article? Thicko. Or should I say "dense"?

30. Israel, stop the war against the IDF
Jake T ,   Alaska   (06.07.07)
When the IDF is doing its job to protect Israelis, let them do it without worrying about being second-guessed by politically correct chiefs. This is insane. If Israel is not at war, then let's all be friends, open the borders, let our children play together. But if this is war, don't tie the soldiers' hands behind their backs. This is absolutely wrong for IDF morale. And it is fatal for the country's defense as well.
