31. #25 Amazing how hypocrite some of you are!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.30.08)
Never saw you post blaming the innocent Jewish children murdered by targeted Hamas missiles! Never saw you post blaming Hamas crazy preachers giving religious edicts which encourage killing of even 2-month-old Jewis babies because they "eventually become Zionist soldiers". So now you're playing the "humanist" when in fact you too are nothing more than a racist, thirsty for Jewish blood. And yes, there is NO reason to shoot at a child period - what about when he shoots at YOU?
32. #24 They were not terrorist kids!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.30.08)
Since when wearing an orange T-Shirt is a crime? But throwing rocks and Molotov coctails is a crime since both rocks and incendiary bottles can and have killed or seriously maimed in the past! Your comment is as usual, pathetic!
33. miriam, do you have a brain?
ragged soul   (07.30.08)
thank you for the most pathetic post in a long time.
34. to #26: Certainly NOT Kuntar and NOT you!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.30.08)
35. Mourners slammed the IDF and Israel's security forces?
(07.30.08)
is the IDF sealing his family's place? does Israel consider the murdered boy a terrorist not an accidental kill?
36. unbelievable
Mark ,   St. John's, Canada   (07.30.08)
I'm amazed at some of the comments on this website. The killing of children on either side is horribly wrong. I'm not left wing, I'm just a person who cares about children. Some of you people should be ashamed of yourselves and if some of you are religious than I have nothing to worry about because God will punish you accordingly but since I'm atheist I can only hope that life will punish you for your lack of compassion and hatred.
37. killed in self-defense
observer   (07.30.08)
no word of apology or sorrow from Olmert. For Barak every thing is clear; the IDF always kill kids in self-defense.
38. Yusuf Mussa, No!, a trial will make a difference
(07.30.08)
39. better trained police
paulo2005 ,   lisbon   (07.30.08)
This news article does give a fairly good image of what did happen. The children tried to remove barbedwire, police arrived, they did throw stones at the police and one did it a police in the head.Police opened fire. Boy killed.What is needed is batter trained police with helmets that protect their faces . This is obvious. The military gear IDF does use not apropriate against riots.
40. # 27
Bill ,   US   (07.30.08)
Why is it wrong to wait for a confirmation of the Palestinian claim? Call me wrong but I still believe in innocent until PROVEN guilty. You can hardly find fault with anyone for being suspicious since this wouldn't be the first time the Arabs have lied about the IDF killing people.
41. #1 After kid shot dead, they threw stones in self-defense
observer   (07.30.08)
According to eye witnesses a group of youths attempted to remove coils of razor wire from land belonging to the village. Without warning, they were fired upon and Ahmed was killed. children then started hurling stones at the forces in self-defense. it was a tragic incident to have an armed soldier getting a one eye hit, even it was not claimed a stone hit!
42. #36 Mark, well said
observer   (07.30.08)
43. Why the hell do they allow their children to take part in
Claudia ,   Germany   (07.30.08)
could any body tell me why the Palestinian parents allow children to be in places where there are violent demonstrations or shooting? Each time I see photos from the Middle East I see Palestinian children running among shooting militants or throwing stones on soldiers. Before demonising or accusing Israel, I would first accuse mothers and fathers who do not watch their children properly or send them to such dangerous places. As absurde and cruel this may sound, the truth is that Children in front of demonstrators and foreign TV cameras was and still is a shameful Palestinan propaganda methode.
44. #14 Mark, are you serious?
Matt ,   USA   (07.30.08)
so if someone throws a rock at you, shooting them in the head is a acceptable response? Do jewish children not misbehave and cause trouble? Would you not take down barber wire if Arabs set it up in your town? That fact that you rationalize the death of a child makes you a monster, and just as guilty as the terroists. You are not any different from them. May God have mercy on your soul!
45. #15 How normal would Spain be ?
Claudia ,   Germany   (07.30.08)
How normal would Spain be uf located in the neighbourhood of 5 Islamic aggressive countries and 60 years of heavy daily terror? How normal will Spain be would the ETA terror attacks be as cruel and as often as the Palestinian terror attacks and rockets attacks are in Israel... I don't wish to glorify here an inhuman terror organisation like ETA, but lets not forget that most of the ETA bomb attacks are following an early warning call and then, they don't send their children to do it.
46. #31 what kind of Doc you are?
observer   (07.30.08)
pediatrician? have you made any advancements in the field of pediatrics; a kind of what Dr Zangen has achieved? He earned the fame by noticing Hamas tattoos & Islamic Jihad tattoos on the hands and arms of Jinin's kids! Waw!, it must had been a very painful experience for those kids to have permanent things implanted in their skin; those kids certainly knew that all kinds of tattoos are strictly prohibited by Islam!
47. # 44 Jewish children don't throw rocks
Thomas   (07.30.08)
at guys holding guns because that would be stupid.
48. Hamas Summer Camp effects.
Nathan Rai, ,   Bangalore.   (07.31.08)
No otaher place on earth except in Palestine is killing Jews / Taqiyeh official school curriculum. Israel should stand beside those who are willing to die for you. Your soldiers need your support. Beleive in their goodness. Dont do what Hamas and their fifth columnists in Israel, the leftist loonies want you to do.
49. when they start taking your land...
Jonas ,   USA   (07.31.08)
My dear Claudia of Germany, I can assure you that when they start confiscating your land and building walls around your town, you and everyone you know, including your 10 year old friends, will resist their atrocities by any means necessary!
50. WE WANT JUSTICE
Ben Adam ,   China   (07.31.08)
The Attorney general should bring to justice the guilty party in the death of the 11 year old boy. His parents should be brought to justice. What is an 11 year old doing among adult trouble maker? The father and mother are responsible for his death. they should be brought to justice! And make no mistake whether the stone is thrown by 11 years old or 22 years old it could still do dammage .
51. Mr. Mark number 36
Jean ,   USA   (07.31.08)
before running your mouth and attacking religious people etc.. just tell me what the hell is an 11 year old soing on the steet among adult fighters? tell me what kind of animal allows an 11 year old to follow him to such a place? calm down and face reality. not all children are alike. the palestinian children are a victim of their parent's hatred of the Jews.
52. Mr. Jonas
Stephanie ,   USA   (07.31.08)
if u r saying even 10 years old will resist then be prepapred to see 10 years old die. that is the difference between you arabs and the rest of humanity!
53. #50 parents has to pay for the bullet?
observer   (08.02.08)
you said it all. the case has not been brought to justice to see who has to pay the bill. the parents will be the first "happy" people if Israel bring the case to justice!
