Israeli flag - another article here says the state has offered to pay but the family of at least one victim has requested they dont get involved. that's their choice - the state of Israel is doing whatever it can.

Palestinian   (12.01.08)
Jews... The word Jews historically meants an adherent to Judaism. 10% of the Roman empire were so, and where are these people? They converted mmuch of them willingly or unwillingly. Palestinians are descendent of the Semitic people who lived here since ever. The fact that the majority of Palestinians are Muslim and Arabic speaking does not imply that they come from Mecca. This is a primitive thinking... Just like Saying Christians come from Nazareth because one name of Christians is the Nazarenes! In Palestine, there Arab christian kingdms like the Ghassanids, Pagans, like the Nabateans, and even Arab Jews like Herod the Great. The history of Arabian tribes in Palestine is very ancient. From the Canaanite tribes to our day, Palestine continues to be at the heart of Arabian history. http://palestinefacts.org/pf_early_palestine_first_arabs.php Palestine is in North Arabia and much of the ancient Hebrews are semitic Arabians. Go and read something about the history of Arabia.
33. # 1 They Were Tortured

Yeah, they were forced to listen to the speeches of E.Barak and to read Talulas ' talkbacks...

www.hammacher.com catalog to be made into personalized woven photographic image throw blankets. The item number is ER-73425 and they cost $99.95 each. When the throws arrive, make two of them into big dolls that look like Moshe's mother and father. The others can cover him in the baby bed so he knows Abba and Mama are there in some form. Put throws with pictures of the parents on couches and chairs for Moshe to look at, too. That works for baby monkeys and is called a surrogate mother (stuffed animal on a post the monkey can cling to.) Maybe the Hammacher.com people will donate the throws to comfort the baby.
35. # 25 is that so? Facts are easy to ignore, right?
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (12.01.08)
Like the 1920 riots. and the 1921 Jaffa riots. And the 1929 riots. And the great big Great Arab Revolt of 1936-1939. Funny thing - all of them were before the so-called "Haganah depopulation". In fact, most of them happened before the Jewish Yishuv had any guns. They were the *reason* the Jewish Yishuv got armed and organized in the first place. Because, you see, somehow... the riots had a focal point... Jews, The Killing Of. Cries of "Itbah il-Yehud" were not very amusing, you see. They were not treated as friendly gestures. Neither did the way your grandparents refused the two-state partition plan in 1947 and declared a war of ethnic cleansing - led by the oh-so-very-friendly Haj Amin il-Husayni, and allied with all your regional imperial Arab friends. Oh yes, and it's the Haganah who went on a direct war to cleanse someone... You tried to kill us. You lost. Deal with it. You killed the trust. Deal with it. And you killed a lot more.
36. #32 again with the history revisionism, eh?
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (12.01.08)
The word Jews historically came from Yahudi - Know what that means? "Of Judea". As in the Kingdom of Judea. As in the kingdom that survived the Assyrian onslaught, remained independent until the next three conquerors came in, having regained its great religious and national symbol (the Great Temple of Jerusalem) through the benevolent Persian conquest. Judea died under the heel of the Roman Empire, and was scattered. You, might good Palestinian sir, are descended of the settlers the Romans brought from neighboring lands to repopulate the lands - after they remained it Palestine to spite the Jewish survivors, having brought back the memory of their oldest enemies - the Plishtim, or Philistine sea-raiders. Herod was the son of Arab slaves, hence he was indeed an Arab. He was no Jew though - just a man who rose to a position of power in the Roman hierarchy. And we never "Northern Arabia". Nor will we be. Redefining the past to serve the conquests of the present is a lie, and little else.
37. 34 cont'd. When I put lion picture throws on a chair, my
Rivkah   (12.01.08)
cats gravitate toward that chair or couch as if a picture of their cat mother is there. Baby monkeys that do not have a surrogate stuffed animal "mother" on a pole to cling to, diminish and often die. Having a stuffed animal "mother" on a pole to cling to helps to repair the emotional damage of the loss of the monkey mother and the baby monkey thrives emotionally instead of diminishing. Moshe could be told his parents have become his dollies so he can know they love him and can see him from heaven all the time (since heaven is a parallel universe outside of time in the opinion of some).
38. #25 & 32: Were they "freedom fighters" pre-1900, too?
5th generation ,   Israel   (12.01.08)
Get real. The Quran is based on hatred of Jews, and Arabs who lived in and came to re-settled Israel because of Jewish opportunity have a "rich" history of unprovoked attack. Many early Jews went into the diaspora because of them - so really, we are the freedom fighters.

40. The statements of Palestinians here make me sick!
Susanne ,   Germany   (12.01.08)
# 32: This article is dedicated to the Mumbai victims. It has nothing to do with Palestinians. Innocent helpless jewish people were slaughtered by muslims. And all you can say is "what Israel has done is much worse". Are you really so self-centered? Always complaining about your own misery, which is partly your own fault. Have you really no compassion on other people than Palestinians? Are you not capable of saying "I'm sorry for them" at least ONCE? I get the impression you are very inhuman people...No wonder the western world doesn't like you...
41. !!!

there have been at least eight major terrorist attacks in India within this year, and all were initially attributed to Islamic terrorists. However, upon further investigation all the incidents turned out to have been perpetrated by radical Hindu extremist groups led by radical priests.

U r own president is stand accused of genocide in Darfur by UN. What will you call it international conspiracy? Huh. Your mail simply showed you have no moral or human feeling. And you are cheeky enough to comment. Your are sick and pathetic. I genuine feel sorry for you.
44. The Torture that Jewish hostages gone through
Deb M ,   Singapore   (12.05.08)
I saw various posting so thought to post the hyperlink. There were quite a few but it seems some kind of censorship as some them are no longer available. This one I just found In NYT, it refers clearly citing medicos that the hostages were starangulated. The report doesnot mention anything in graphic detail, BUT it says" Gruesome new evidence also emerged Thursday suggesting that some of the six people killed at the Jewish center in Mumbai had been treated savagely. Some of the bodies appeared to have strangulation marks and wounds on their bodies did not come from gunshots or grenades, the police said. ". Honestly the word Gruesome describes it all. May their troubled soul rest in peace. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/05/world/asia/05mumbai.html
