Hadassah ,   Jerusalem   (04.03.09)
Ha Shem himself is their fence. May He be their great comfort and a rewarder of these who so wonderfully trust Him.....
2. Why Ynet doesn't represent Judaism...
David ,   Shilo Israel   (04.03.09)
A small Jewish child has been brutally murdered. What is your media response to this? To demonize the victims...the wild savage settlers who will probably go on a rampage etc. Your 'headline' to this article should tell any self-respecting Jew whether from the left, right, secular or dati exactly where you stand on true Jewish interests...in the gutter! Will you dare publish this letter? Sympathy to the relatives & family.
3. With fence it can't grow,solution is: evacuate the settlement!

5. Factual error

1. The relevance of Bat Ayin being in Gush Etzion is lost on me, though it is in the lead for every article I've read about this murder so far. As long as there are people who want to kill Jewish children, it is irrelevant if they are in Bat Ayin, Tel Aviv or Paris. The important factor is that Jews are the targets. 2. Bat Ayin is NOT in what Ynet refers to as the "West Bank". Gush Etzion was always a part of the territory marked for the Jewish state by the UN in 1947 because of the Jewish population there. It was conquered by the Arab Legion in 1948. This is all irrelevant as Bat Ayin, along with Chevron, Beit Lechem and Shilo are all part of Eretz Yisrael. This murder was a warning to the Jews to get out. I hope that Natanyahu is strong enough not to ethnically separate Jews from the "West Bank" as Olmert did to Gaza. A lot of good that did.

6. YNET'S UNDERHANDED REPORTING
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (04.03.09)
As a member of the community of Bat Aayin in JUDEA and a tax paying citizen of the sate of Israel and not a settlement of the westbank as our snake in the grass evil underhanded biased writers off Ynet so clearly write. I can tell you, that our revenge will be, more Emunah, more childeren and a increased building and growing of our community. Ynet and the Israeli media, who play an ever increasing dirty proganda blitz against us here in Judea and the Shomron, will not sucseed in the long term, to push their secular agenda and viewpoint on the general public. The truth will prevail in the long term.
7. the rabbi's proof is only the persistent hostility
observer   (04.03.09)
will the rabbi take the "Imad Mughniyah Brigades took responsibility for the attack" to the bet din . With the prejudice that "the complete faith we have in our right to be here in Israel". On the TV, the sole witness,Avinoam, has said "At first I thought he was a laborer and that this wasn't a serious incident, but then I realized it was an Arab. The terrorist fled to the neighboring murderous village". Is that what a rabbi calls nationalistic hate crime?
8. Reply to Ibrahim
Shimmon ,   Tzfat Israel   (04.03.09)
ibrahim, this area has always been inhabited by Jews and Arabs. This goes back thousands of years. I'm sorry if you and yours are so full of hate that you find it impossable to be a good neighbor. Murder of a child is the lowest act a human can commit, I see from you statement you condone it.. I agree a fence won't solve the problem. Only by your acceptance that Jews have a right to live in Israel too will bring peace. I know the rockets sent fom Gaza every day are not acts of violence they are only little metal exploding doves of peace.
9. To David #6 & Bat Ayin
The 11th Man ,   London   (04.03.09)
May there be great comfort for the families involved. And may the streets of Bat Ayin be filled with children.
10. Alav HaShalom Tzadeek Katan
Shlomo ,   Israel   (04.03.09)
Alav HaShalom tzadeek katan. You have now gone to the highest level of Gan Eden. #3 Ibrahim. You and people like you are filth and pure scum. Real vermin. The islamic kingdoms time is coming to an end, and your punishment is so unimagingly severe that I am tempted to say 'Khaval Hazman', although it isn't because you deserve it. All people against G-ds firstborn, Am Yisrael, will perish, badly. Your time is coming. Be afraid, be VERY afraid.
