31. Had she been in her homeland
Joel K ,   SD, USA   (02.15.08)
Had this woman been where she belonged in the first place, Jordan, Egypt, Syria, etc., she would not have a problem reaching a medical facility, barring the usual incompetence and decadence of Arab facilities. The moral of this story: "palestinians" get thee quickly back home to Jordan, Egypt, etc., and that is where you will be most comfortable, and you won't have brood and complain about Israelis.
32. Amid the arcing rockets & explosions, you are...............
Cameron ,   USA   (02.15.08)
surprised, Cecile? The first responsibility of the Israelis is ensuring the lives of themselves & their families.
33. Where are Palis hospitals with EU funds????
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (02.15.08)
Why must israeli hospitals treat people willing to kill us????
34. What stupied comments i see
Ahmed ,   Gaza   (02.15.08)
This woman was going to a PALESTINIAN HOSPITAL not to an israeli one but as you know( i doubt as the majority are ignorants) the west bank is divided in micro colones with check points and as their is no hospital in each village or city this happened because they didn´t let her pass the check points, ruthless people , i have a pity on you, GOD who promissed any land for u didn´t ask you to kill and humilhate people to get it.
35. Your brothers keeper?
Kmansfield ,   Dallas, TX   (02.15.08)
The hate that is within you is the real enemy. Where is the society which prides itself on its humanity? If you put someone or something in captivity, you must care for them. You cannot blame them. There is no justification.

James ,   USA   (02.15.08)
Why don't you share with everyone your response to the handing out of candy and flowers in the celebration of blowing up innocent people and killing a 70 year old woman. #24 or # 28, would you like to respond?
37. to Ahmed- Gaza
Zuri ,   Sydney Australia   (02.16.08)
I am sorry to hear about this woman, this situation is very bad, NOBODY should die due to lack of medical attention. My suggestion is: use the money comining from E.U. and other countries for building medical centres and bringing good doctors instead of buying weapon to kill israelis and each other.
38. HEART DISEASE DOES NOT KILL YOU....while you wait in traffic
jack bauer   (02.16.08)
it is a slow and drawn out process just like ynets attempts to blacken the names of jews
39. #36 - James from the U.S. and A.
Johannes ,   Berlin, Germany   (02.16.08)
Well, mate, of course I want to respond. Don't get me wrong - I find it sick and disgusting to celebrate the death of a 70 year old woman in the streets. I condemn Palestinian terror attacks, I think those who fire rockets on innocent civilians deserve to be punished in the harshest possible way. Israel is complaining about those painful but cowardly attacks on civilians and about the uncivilized behavior of the Palestinians who celebrate those victims among the civilians. However, Israel should make sure that its values, which distinguish Israelis from the Palestinian terrorists won't erode in the future. You cannot complain about Palestinians dancing in the streets when you mock the death of an innocent Palestinian civilian woman. So - to cut a long story short - I am just using the same yardstick for Palestinians and Israelis. I find it sick to mock the death of an innocent human being. I am disgusted by Palestinians who do that and in the same way disgusted by Israelis who do that. Its pretty easy.
40. Ah Johannes
Cameron ,   USA   (02.16.08)
Your days of sitting on the high Euro fence while sneeering at all sides is rapidly drawing to a close. Soon the ugly real world & events in your own Europa will pull you & others off that supposed "high ground" and force & oblige you to equivocate no longer.

leah   (02.16.08)
Are you sure your an Israeli? The reason I ask is because Israelis are kind,decent people by and large because I have visited the county. Your comments were cruel and shameful and an embarrasment to your county and people. Your no different than the Palestinians who dance in the streets and hand out candy to celebrate the deaths of innocents in Israel. Truth is, I am not sure your really not a member of the Islamic Jihad posting such comments to try and make Israelis look as bad as possible.
42. TB's: You need Laser sights not hand grenades!
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.16.08)
MY PROFESSOR TAUGHT US "ALL GENERALIZATIONS ARE FALSE INCLUDING THIS ONE". We read daily about the attacks on Israel, Israel, Zionists, etc. by our Arab/Moslem enemies whether they wear kafiyas or masquerade as any thing else. We need to focus on our enemies with laser sights and not throw hand grenades to kill "all Arabs/Moslems". We know nothing about the woman who died. On the other hand Kfar Kassem's mayor is lobbying to be a permanent part of Israel. Another Arab town is planniing major celebrations for Israel's 60th birthday. There are now at least 2 incidents where Arabs saved Israelis who strayed into Arab cities by accident. There was another incident where Arab women protect Israeli kids who accidentally entered their village. The Arab soccer team of Saknin plays in the Israeli soccer leages and were part of Israel's national team. There is even a 25 ft high replica of the Statue of Liberty next to a cafe on the way to Sakhnin. I have more than enough experiences from Metulla to the negev with Arabs (mostly good but some bad) to know that they don't come out of a blender and they are not all bad. But most of all, we do not need to cheer an Arab women dying just because she is an Arab. Leila Khaled, the mother of Mugniyah or other terrorists who laud their terrorist sons - DEFINITELY YES. I rejoiced when I heard the policeman put 4 bullets in the head of the suicide bomber in Dimona. In fact I would support wiping out the entire family of terrorists as a deterent to future terror and as retribution to suicide bombers; but not any random person just because they are Arabs/Moslems.
