1. More lies as the truth unravels
JAy3 ,   Israel   (07.30.08)
These kids were removing barbed wire and throwing stones which blinded one soldier..........the disgusting Palastinains are twisting the story once again to make them look like the victims. Ali Waked is a propagandist that never tells the whole story. Every article he writes is propaganda that seems to only uses Palastinian witnesses. Why does YNet employ him? Wheres the truth?
2. This boy was killed by the Arabs then placed in the area
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.30.08)
next to the anti-fence protests somehwhere under a tree or wherever. Otherwise, why was this child not in school? Also, IDF soldiers use IDF rubber bullets at these protests. And why don't they allow for an autopsy to be done? Sounds very true this story, just like all the other fabricated stories from the Leftists - Betzelem, TerroristsNow, HumanRights, AnimalRights, and their other lunatic organizations.
3. 11 years old boy? Who is guilty?
yoel ,   Raanana   (07.30.08)
How come his parents could let him demonstrate? In any normal country, he should remain at home. Then, he would become an expert in throwing stones... Very nice for tolerance and peace. The only guilty people are his parents who sent him into a military zone, which is absolutely forbidden!! Soldier who fire, are supposed to do it at legs. Unfortunately children who are approximately aroound that height get it into the head. I don't want this child become a martyr, as they did for Al-Dura's case. Tsahal MUST not apologise. The only reason why this happened is because there are few soldiers, and they were given a job that Police should do. Also because the police should prevent leftists and foreigners to arrive at the scene for demonstrating. Those guys must have been under arrest before arriving at the scene, and foreigners expelled long time ago from Israel.
4. Another Muhammad a-Dura
George ,   Kfar Saba   (07.30.08)
Amazing how with all the press around, nobody was around to record this. And the family won't even display the body, let alone allow an autopsy. This is just another example of Arab propaganda.
5. Muhammad Dura
israeli ,   israel   (07.30.08)
The Palestinians need resistance symbols, so they create them. Now it's Ahmed Musa, whose posters are already posted all over his village. Just as Muhammad Dura was made into a symbol of the second intifadah, this child is being turned in to resistance symbol against the fence. Every day we see Palestinian children in the West Bank and Gaza declaring that they want to kill Jews and become shaheeds, we see TV shows encouraging children to become martyrs. There is plenty of evidence on Youtube of how these children's minds are being manipulated by cynical leaders. So what's the problem? You want your children to become shaheeds in order to be able to blame Israel? Mourning Palestinian women claim that we have no God. But what God do they have? The one that demands and exacts human sacrifices?
6. dead child
mark ,   israel   (07.30.08)
The fact that a child has been killed is sad. The fact that the IDF has not issued a statement regarding the incident is regrettable-vacuums don't exist here. The fact that these demonstrations are allowed to go on week after week with these young soldiers subjected to life threatening situations is unacceptable and unforgivable
7. Milking it for all it's worth
Talula ,   Israel   (07.30.08)
He was 11 years old they are all screaming. Why wasn't an 11 year old in summer camp or playing in a playground - why wasn't he at the beach? Why was he trying to remove barbed wire? who told him to do that? When Palestinian mothers start to actually care about where their children are and what they are doing and actually act like they care about their children's safety, is the day that incidences like this will stop happening. No resistance is required - just loving and caring about your children and getting on with life is all that is needed here - not trying to make your neighbours life a living hell.
8. Shame on ..Palestinians
Michel ,   Jerusalem   (07.30.08)
The same people applauded to Kuntar who murdered a 4 yrs old jewish boy, and not by .. accident
9. # 2 Mirriam and here accusations
Simon ,   TA Israel   (07.30.08)
You have no proof what so ever that this young child of 10 yrs old was killed by Arabs. On what do you base this on please provide the proof. It seems you base this on your usual hatred for anyone that is not a right wing religious settler. Were you there at the scene? does this accusation stand up in a court of law? any sane person would realize you have no proof what so ever. That 10 year old is someones son, someones brother, how can you be so bitter and vicious? This is point is then proved further when you launch in to your usual vile attacks on anyone who is a human rights activist or animal rights, although what that has to do with this article i have no idea. Is this the way of the Torah? As a woman i suggest you look to Tehran to see how they stone to death women who are even suspected of being unfaithful to their husbands. Is this the kind of world you want to live in? To be so bitter and vicious, a 10 year old child was killed here, you should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you speak in the name of the Torah,you are not fit for that. You should be ashamed of yourself.
10. Miriam, u are a lier
Ivan ,   Haifa   (07.30.08)
The autopsy was done at Ramallah's hospital, and even the border police admitted it's responsability. Is very difficult for a palestinian child from West Bank to assist school under occupation, which implies he will be abused by IDF in checkpoints in his way to school.
11. #9 There is no proof that he was killed by the IDF
s ,   Tel Aviv   (07.30.08)
Yes, they are carrying weapons but with rubber bullets. Accusations to say that Arabs killed him are unfair although understandable considering the past screenplays set up by our well-intentioned ennemies but blaming the IDF without proof is is also unfair. Their past and their lies make it an easy basis for such kind of interpretations. What I find odd is that we, the isrealis are quicker to condemn ourselves and then, we discover the screnplays but then, it is already too late because our name has been soiled in the world as being a terrible people. It is clear here that there is something fishy. Why does a kid hang out there? Would you let your kid hand around a dangerous place like this and then be surprised that something happens? Isn't it clear that maybe it is yet another setup? I am not saying that everybody in the IDF are angels but I don't think that the other side is as innocent as we would like to believe. We are quick at taking responsibility. Are they taking responsibility or are they our responsibility?
12. An open wound.
Alex ,   USA   (07.30.08)
Does anybody remember a baby girl by the name of SHALHEVET PASS, murdered by an arab sniper? To the so-called liberal left: Do not bother to make comparisons, please.
13. WE LOVE IDF
ALL   (07.30.08)
14. An Eye 4 an Eye, a Tooth....
Mark ,   U.K.   (07.30.08)
The Palestinians kill young innocent Israeli children based on the fact that when they grow older, they will join IDF. Well tit 4 tat, whats good 4 the goose is good 4 the gander. One less future terrorist.........
15. This is not a normal country
Agustin ,   Spain   (07.30.08)
It cannot enter into my head the level of inmorality some of the commentators have reached.
16. Ambulances
Anonymous Ireland ,   Dublin Ireland   (07.30.08)
Are Arabic/Palestinian ambulances harmful to Israel? I mean can they be used to hurt or maim civilians, and have they been used in the past? I saw a star of David on an Arabic ambulance in Jerusalem yesterday evening and was wondering what it is they have in common with Israel. Shalom
17. Arabs lie!!!!
Natan   (07.30.08)
Don't blame the IDF. We can go on and on as to why this happened. For the Palestinians a death of a child is the best propaganda tool. They just love it!!! They will kill our children without blinking an eye, but when one of them is killed they "milk it" all the way and demand an IDF investigation. Dream on, we will investigate NOTHING. Yesterday, the child was sitting under an olive tree. Later,it was disclosed he was actually dismantling a barbed wire fence. His friends claimed that they were hurling stones at soldiers after he was shot. Tomorrow they will admitt that they were actually hurling stones BEFORE he was shot.. Arab lies don't stop!!!
18. # 10 When was This?
Bill ,   US   (07.30.08)
I haven't heard of this autopsy or of the border police admitting responsibility. I only heard an investigation was underway but since your magical tinfoil hat tells you otherwise can you provide a link to your source?
19. playing?
eli ,   Jerusalem   (07.30.08)
Mussa's uncle: "He was a young boy playing with his friends." Mussa's 10-year-old friends said they were trying to remove barbed wire... Who let them play like this and why? May be in 10 years we will know who killed him... Dura #16 Are Arabic/Palestinian ambulances harmful to Israel? I mean can they be used to hurt or maim civilians, and have they been used in the past? Yes, they used ambulances and even children inside to pass checkpoints.
20. what a little boy doing among violanced demostrated
ephi   (07.30.08)
Psia krew
21. #16 - that was a mogen david israeli ambulance
(07.30.08)
it had hebrew, arabic and english. and yes, red crescent arab ambulances have been used for weapon and terrorist transport.
22. #9Simon TA, Tom Toronto, Jay US & others - Some just have
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.30.08)
a bit more common sense than others. Look at one of Ynet's reports from yesterday: - A “Yeshiva student” extracted Obama's note from the Kotel and publicized it. Now look at my comment. Today the media proved that Obama's Kotel note leak was a campaign PR stunt. This is only one case. There are plenty of reports that I proved that it was fabricated – just like this one. Wait & See that I'll once again be proven right and you and your Leftists lunatics are the true vicious ones against Israel. As in the past accusations, it takes a day or two for the truth to emerge. The first proof is that they don't allow an autopsy? Why? Quite obvious. Some people are just more logical than others who are eager to accept anything against religious Jews.
23. said it before, i'll say it again
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.30.08)
what kind of parents allow their kids within 10 miles of a place where there are armed soldiers and idiots wanting to confront them?
24. #3 Agreed kids shouldn't involved
Asem ,   ME   (07.30.08)
But this goes with you too.When you had the Gaza disengagemnt thing you had a lot of kids wearing orange T Shirts and demonstrating.Correct?
25. amazing how people in isreal react to a sad story
belal ,   atlanta   (07.30.08)
amazing how people in isreal react to a sad story, wooow, i find more excuses than i thought there could be. shooting children in cold blood should be condemed both ways, no reason to shoot at a child, period. you better hide your face for a while until the story goes away instead of finding excuses.
26. to #8
Belal ,   atlanta   (07.30.08)
but kuntar says the child was killed by isreali bullets, who should we believe here ? after all it is Sad that a child dies both ways, but who is lying ? every body lie, who do we believe.
27. WHAT AN IDIOTIC QUESTION!
Avraham ,   NYC   (07.30.08)
Why do Arabs attack Israel's police and the IDF intending to kill, maim or injure them on a regular basis?
28. ISLAMICS Make WAR Against CIVILIAN Populations
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.30.08)
They break international law! They use human shields. Hide behind women and children. They wage daily, religious war on Israel's infidels - firing a daily barrage of rockets on defenseless, terror-stricken Sderot citizens, and Ashkelon. They fire from within densely populated areas in a deliberate and shocking attempt to get PA Muslim civilians killed when IDF fire back in defense. When PA civilians are accidently killed by the IDF's defensive measures, Islamics scream to the whole world in protest. But the blood guilt is on the heads of the Muslim terrorists. 70% of PA Muslims support suicide bombings. STOP Inciting Children to MURDER! Palestinian Authority Muslims are taught murdering Jews is the highest goal in life and attains paradise: Schools, streets, and sports teams are named after suicide bombers.
29. 25 - palestinians aren't sad about tihs
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (07.30.08)
you should be asking why palestinians encourage children to spill their blood and glorify those who do. do you care?
30. 'How can a boy threaten soldiers?'
serge ,   montreal, Canada   (07.30.08)
