91. tradgedy
whatever   (01.18.09)
you can't turn every human tradgedy into propaganda! this man has lost 3 of his daughters and still talks about peace! he said it, "there's no difference between israelis and palestinians" and something like "we could live together". Tere's nothing wrong with him telling his story.... then of course, the balance between broadcast of palestinians tradgedies and israelis tradgedies is another problem....................................but then although i love my country and i'm sure we all do, we should still stay critical towards our own side (easier if you're abroad) : does army really use forbiden weapons, and what for ? i don't think we're that clean either, and like one souldn't be blinded by "palestinian propaganda", we, israelis and jewish, shouldn't be blinded by the excuse of propaganda either. what's happening now in Gaza is terrible, and then comes the question, is there any other way to get rid of hamas ? any other way so civilians don't get killed that much ?
92. to # 6 (Rivkah): I am absolutely sickened by ur comments!
We all met in London   (01.18.09)
93. #86 Eva Braun had no opinions, the above Eva does, all wrong
Sandi ,   US   (01.18.09)
Shame on you as an Israeli! Wait till the rockets come down on you and the "friendly" homicide bombers. You will be the first one to come crying. What self hate and denial!
94. Stern symbolizes the evil in zionists
Bunch of psychos! ,   NC   (01.18.09)
What a disgusting person.
95. Terry:" I doubt if the media realizes "
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.18.09)
The sad fact is that the leftist anti-Israel media that now dominates not only the world press (ie:BBC;Guardian;al jazeera;reuters;France 2) but here as well (ie:haaretz) DOES realize! They do not care what Israelis, or Jews, think. Their goal is to sell their media. If that means leeching in to an under current of anti-Semitism fostered by such institutions as the Vatican, Islam, and the anglican Church, so be it. The fact remains that the vast majority of Israelis support a PROPER conclusion to this war: the eradication of islamonazi extremism, and the release of Gilad Shalit. Anything short of that will mean the end of Kadima and Labour!
96. Bob in TA: Typical TA leftist
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.18.09)
Once again, a TA leftie comes through! As long as he and his TA leftie ilk can continue going to the cafes at night not being struck daily by qassams and grads, they don't care! They live on their island known as TA, comfortable-until that first qassam strikes! THEN THEY WILL SCREAM DEMANDING TO KNOW WHY TZAHAL IS NOT DOING 'ENOUGH'
97. Ilana ,# 78 ... trust me,
Ginette ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.18.09)
You are no dear to me. I have one son living, studying and fighting in Jerusalem and one son here in Canada; oh and I forgot, one nephew fighting in Gaza right now. So I don't vent out of frustration as you think but rather out of fear for my People! I would be in Israel in a flash if I could (in a way, that's my frustration). And Eva, Israeli and Jews in general do not wear "rose coloured glasses"; reality is such for them (us) that even if we owned such pair of glasses, we would not have any use for it. As I said before, the propaganda against the Jews and against Israel is only one sided and as long as it is, I WON'T SHUT UP! Brave IDF, do what you have to do and we are all supporting you and praying for your safe return to Israel, Amen!
98. Doesn't it seem strange that it's the first & the only time
Alex ,   Germany   (01.18.09)
Where a picture of the wounded person is matched to the article? That's the Arab way ... to create solidarity with the world ... Provocative you say?
99. I don't believe this
(01.18.09)
He seem to be engaging more in Propaganda rather than in the grief on his kids. weird
100. Soldiers Mother is worried sick!
CLL1709 ,   Tampa USA   (01.18.09)
It is sad that this doctor lost 3 of his children. That is not the fault of the IDF or Israel. That is because Hamas has targeted Israeli's with 10,000 rockets over the past 8 years. It is about time the world made this murderous people pay for their actions and recognize Israel has the right to defend its citizens! This Mom deserves compassion for her own children must fight to stop Hamas. All you get from Arabs is whining while they are trying to stab you in the back. Wake up, Especially you Europeans that already are being overwhelmed by your own immigration stupidity and liberal Americans, it is our fight already with 9/11. How fast you forget!
101. Soldiers' mother: Stop Gaza doctor's propaganda
Jonathan Halimi Brik   (01.18.09)
Enough! How could this mother shouted at this grieving father, the way she did? Even tough it is war, what kind of "chutzpa" is this? The guy just lost 3 of his daughters. Just stay quiet, for god sake! I am an israeli who lives in France. i am support the war, but I feel so ashamed with such irresponsible citizens who refuses to have just a minimal of compassion for innocent children that had been slaughtered.
102. Wake up 98
Daniyal ,   London   (01.18.09)
First and last time? I believe you are forgetting all the Holocaust photos that are shoved down the world's throat. Are they not to "create solidarity with the world?" And the word "provocative" that you use - what is provocative here? The fact that the murders of the IDF are being exposed?
103. Stop Gaza doctor's propanganda
Leslie ,   Beersheba, Israel   (01.18.09)
My heart, as an victim of the South, goes out to both the Doctor who lost his 3 daughters and the Mother of a solider. Nobody should outlive their child. My question for the Doctor is, why was his house being used to store weapons against the very country he is working in? He should have known that even if he was "for peace", having property in Gaza would mean that Hamas would and probably did take over his house. Why didn't he try to get his daughters out of Gaza since he is a Doctor working in an Israeli Hospital? By heart goes out to you; but my heart goes more to our sons and daughters protecting our homeland against terror.
104. #13 much like pharaoh...
MLK ,   Boston   (01.18.09)
G-d had to harden his heart too. there is a deep correlation here..
105. to #93
#86 ,   tel aviv   (01.18.09)
I will be coming crying because of people like you. Stay in NY and be quiet. My whole famile was murdered by mrs eva braun boy friend and I was hit by a scud in 1991 and still I have more compassion in my heart that you will ever have. idiot.
106. response to the Beersheva mother 103
Claudine ,   Paris, France   (01.18.09)
How do you know that his house was used to store weapons ?? Where you there ?? How come the bodies of the terrorists, unlike the daughters's bodies, were not found, neither wounded nor killed ????? I do and don't understand Mrs. stern's outburst on a broken father
107. Isn't that what soldiers are for?
Angus ,   Wellington, NZ   (01.18.09)
I wouldn't worry too much about soldiers. They take their chances, and protect themselves with guns and armor. And this particular fight seems pretty one sided. Blowing up children though is disgusting, vile behaviour.
108. XXX You the people of ISRAEL, don’t kid your self XXX
gaza man ,   canada   (01.18.09)
To who ever says wepons were in the house of murdered kids, Please, don’t kid your selfs go look in the your mirror and stair in your own eyes and repeat this : “ these kids had weponds in their house and if I was a solder I would kill them too” ,repeat ten times I and come back and blog, I highly doubt that you will feel the same way. Wake up people, Zinozim is going to destroy you, go back to go to your human instinct, before its too late, you will be judged one day, trust me. Note, don’t you know John Ging from the UN in gaza. director of operations who has been in gaza for months watch all the Israeli army crimes. Go look him on the net.
109. Dcotors feeling
Istanbul ,   Turkey   (01.18.09)
We clearly know israeli soldiers were ordered to fire randomly. Otherwise, they would not have a big success of killing 30 terrorists and 1200 civillians. If palestinians had the tanks, was planes and bombed , fires israeli cities I would show my hatred against this. We all must be human. Not killers
110. Shame
Jacob ,   Hong Kong   (01.18.09)
Shame on those of you posting hateful comments. The world is watching.
111. Why should children pay for adults fears?
peace12   (01.18.09)
Israeli society is reflecting the same evil it fears.
112. shocking
bob ,   amsterdam holland   (01.18.09)
I want to second the remark made here that you people expressing themselves on the internet in such hateful and ignorant ways are being read all over the world! Adding insult to injury, it's not a pretty sight.
113. hateful comments?
israeli ,   israel   (01.18.09)
perhaps, but we didn't dance on rooftops nor handed out sweets and candy, like the people of Gaza do whenever someone is killed in Israel or America. You should have ssen the footage coming out of Gaza when teenage kids were mercilessly slaughtered in the Merkaz Ha-rav yeshiva, or when a 70-year-old physicist was murdered in a suicide bombing in Dimona. You should have seen them on 9/11. Where was your indignation and revulsion then? Or you think those were expressions of love? Of course the IDF killed 1200 civilians. As soon as the Hamasholes saw the troops approaching they threw away their masks and uniforms and pretended to be innocent civilians. We remember how they dressed up as women coming out of a mosque some time ago. The Hamas and Jihad "warriors" are brave with innocent civilians, not with soldiers. Where was your condemnation when Hamas threw Fatah men off rooftops or when they were shooting them in the legs or lynching them in the streets? Well, the world can watch just as it watched when Jews were killed. BTW, polls show that a lot of people in are supporting Israel, so spare us your crocodile tears!
114. to #46
h3x3   (01.18.09)
hasn't he been working for an (if not the mentioned) hospital? this would answere your question why he held the conf there. but even if not it seems to me that this guy has peaceful ties with israel, so why shouldn't he speak out in the israeli public? if he called for the destruction of israel during his speech i would have to agree with you, but he didnt. and you're right that he should have comdemned hamas! still i think that bombardments & the siege obviously push gazans to hamas. they are the only ones providing social services etc contrary to israel that is dropping bombs on anything and anyone on gaza soil. i've been to sderot and have been living in J'lem for the past 12 months. i also visited westbank numerous times. thus i claim to have a clue about life in israel & pal's territories...and yes, israel is better off, way better, even though i know the kassamim are not toys and cause fear & (human) damage.
115. Have you people got no shame
al thor ,   sheffield   (01.18.09)
the way you are treating this poor palestinian doctor who brought jewish babies into this world by mocking his grief. he lost 3 daughters for god sake. He lost his future. have some shame and keep your mouths closed
116. Israel's side
Abi ,   Homer, U.S   (01.19.09)
No one ever wants to hear about Israels side of the issue, they only want to listen to the terrorist. Any nation that has had to go through what Israel has had to endure would do the same thing if not more. I'm so tired of hearing the other side (terrorist).
117. # 64Wanda
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.19.09)
Taking a break fom reading Al Jazera. I guess logical thinking is not your strong point. or does the truth about your Hamas buddies bother you.
118. Some mothers support war Crimes
Yossi   (01.19.09)
That life in Israel that some mothers support war crime and have no problem of killing of Arab Girls, this is our image in this world and stupid PR will erase what we did a black stain that no PR can clean it. Thanks to 10,000 people who march last Saturday in Tel Aviv against this war
119. I understand...
Basil ,   Seoul, Korea   (01.19.09)
This man lost three of his children. He supports peace. I understand the mother is concerned about her sons, but she basically wanted this man silenced. There are rules of conduct in a war, and he had to ask what happened to his family. How many Jewish children has he helped as a doctor? Any Jewish person who slams this doctor is not recognizing that this doctor believes in Tikkun Ha Olam or helping our world. We don't need Arab or Jewish hatred, only understanding. I am Palestinian. I do not support hateful comments from Jews regarding this doctor or Palestinian hatred against Jews. I have had an Israeli girlfriend before, too. I don't really about sectarian crap. It's so 1930s.
120. Let's not get what we deserve
Alain ,   France   (01.19.09)
Actually in any war everyone is guilty, and those not involved like us are guilty too for not helping. Even if everyone deserves to pay a high price or even to die for what he has done, does that mean that he has to ? Wouldn't it be better for everyone just to stop this madness ?
