31. Jewish terror = Muslim terror
Hana ,   Jerusalem   (07.28.10)
This is exactly what Taliban and other guerrilas/terrorists do in Afghanistan, Iraq.... also fighting against foreign intruders and their collaborators. When Jews did not have regular army yet, they did the say ugly things. Now they have F-16s for such work.
32. TERRORIST
James ,   UK   (07.28.10)
You have the nerves to celebrate these terrorists? You are hypocrites. Stern, Irgun, Lehi, and the rest of the Jewish underground were nothing but TERRORISTS.
33. The women is a murdering terrorist
Avi ,   Israel   (07.28.10)
Murdering 90 people in a bomb blast is murder, regardless of the political cause. Every terrorist belives he or she is right in killing to justify a politacal cause.
34. She was targeting British Military HQ
Danny   (07.28.10)
and "freedom fighters" target schools and cafes.
35. #5, you mean the promise
Danny   (07.28.10)
that the British refused to keep?
36. The Arabs bombers equally manifest no contrition
lydia ,   Brisbane   (07.28.10)
for targeting the Israeli illegal occupation. I think it is poetic justice that UK PM Cameron came out today of all days and condemned Israel illegal blockade of Gaza. "What's good for the goose.. "
37. 18Palestinians freedom fighters fighting to remove Israels
lydia ,   Brisbane   (07.28.10)
Jackboots from their necks. Fighting to remove Israels stranglehold on their land. Now Israel is reaping the wrath of 2billion Muslims against its illegal occupation and racist genocidal regime.."What goes around comes around"
38. The war criminials were the British
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.28.10)
Putting their military headquarters in a civilian hotel was a war-crime. The British used civilians as human shields and then when informed of the bombing in advance. They would not allow the building to be evacuated, that too was a war-crime. When are the Limys going to answer for their crimes. Such as ethnic cleansing of Jews from Hevron? Stealing Jewish lands and giving them to the Arabs?
39. G-d bless that woman!
Dan ,   USA   (07.28.10)
40. You are my hero!
USA   (07.28.10)
Thank you.
41. 15 Dani ,...Because your government gave order to sink boats
split ,   USA   (07.28.10)
The deportation was opposed by Zionist organisations including the underground paramilitary Haganah group, which planted a bomb with the intention of disabling the ship to prevent it from leaving Haifa. However, the Haganah miscalculated the effects of the explosion and the bomb caused the ship to sink in under fifteen minutes, trapping hundreds in the hold. The survivors were subsequently permitted to remain in Palestine on humanitarian grounds. Who was responsible and the true reason why the Patria sank remained controversial mysteries until 1957, when Monya Mardor, the person who placed the bomb, published a book about his experiences. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patria_disaster
42. #17 - helping the Germans with their plan to exterminate the
split ,   USA   (07.28.10)
So did Rudolf Kastner with the knowledge and permission of zionist leaders,...
43. Whom did they occupied , 29 ,...
split ,   USA   (07.28.10)
The King David Hotel was the headquarters of the British Army, an occupying force and therefore a military not a civilian target.
44. Following your logic 29 ,...
split ,   USA   (07.28.10)
Everyone in Israel eligible for military service is ligit target ,...
45. # 13 - Prove it !!! ,...

Second, they gave warning to disperse;
46. # 9 - This statement proves how ignorant you're
split ,   USA   (07.28.10)
"including those which occurred in Europe during the Holocaust; "Defiance" by Nechama Tec about the Bielski otriad
47. Thinline between FreedomFighter and Terrorist easily crossed
Blooodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.28.10)
Since Israel has a draft are young people military targets? Military targets or not civilians get killed either way, a bomb on a person or from a plane is still a bomb. Jews and Muslims can life together in peace but sharing power/control maybe impossible for either side to accept.
48. Park Hotel & King David Hotel
Yariv A.   (07.28.10)
At least the Palestinian had the courage to die not cowardy as Agassi & her terrorist group. Begin as PM could be equated with Marwan Barghouti as PM of Palestine,
49. Granny with blood on her hands...And she's a hero?!
Jens ,   Germany   (07.28.10)
50. "Terror is terror", indeed, but neither the Irgun, nor the
Edna   (07.28.10)
Lehi or the Hagana were terror organization. Only in the eyes of those who hate everything about Israel these organizations of national defense were bad phenomena.
51. "clear" conscience
jerusalem   (07.28.10)
what an awful woman...the mentality... the ruthless heart that this woman had(to now) is just sick. soon she will die and go back to her God... i would wish her luck, but it is to no avail. back there with God, everyone will be judged accordingly to their deeds regardless. the brittish were glad they got rid of their own problem and ran away.
52. It was mass murder
Yehudi ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.28.10)
What this woman did was to participate in murder! Placing bombs in a public place is one of the worst kinds of murderous terrorist acts. It make no difference whether the bomber is a Jew or an Arab or any other nationality. Terrorism is disgusting and cowardly.
53. Albrecht: Thanks to you Germans, we
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (07.28.10)
had no place, those few of us who managed to survive, after you Germans lost the war. Jewish survivors returning to their (former) homes found that the homes were taken (stolen) and many survivors were murdered by their former neighbours; they were certainly not wanted. Israel was a godsend, a "place in the sun", as it were, difficult as it was to begin a new life given the forces set against them. Had the Arab people and nations not defied and denied us, we could have lived together. They had the opportunity but chose to fight us, five nations, and they've kept at it, war after war, when they could have shared the land. Does any of this make assist you to understand, Herr Albrecht?
54. TALK ABOUT THE TRAGEDY OF ARROGANCE
ABARAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (07.28.10)
SHAW, THE BRITISH OFFICIAL IN CHARGE SHOULD HAVE HEEDED THE TELEPHONE WARNING AND ABONDONED THE KING DAVID HOTEL. THIS WHAT NORMAL AUTHORITIES DO, AND WE WOULD DO IN SIMILAR INSTANCES, AND NORMAL PEOPLE WILL HEED BOMB WARNINGS. BUT SHAW WAS NOT YOUR ORDINARY NORMAL PERSON. HE WOULD NOT LET THE JEWS TELL HIMM WHAT TO DO, SO HE DID NOT ORDER AN EVACUATION. BECAUSE OF HIS ARROGANCE, PEOPLE WERE KILLED, INSTEAD OF THE INTENDED TARGET THE HOTEL STRUCTURE, AND IT WAS NOT EVACUATED .
55. Very shocking to see people celebrate this terrorist
Nour ,   One State   (07.28.10)
The woman killed innocent people, including Jews, yet people here congratulate her and praise her work as resistance. Oh well, I guess that Hamas is even more praise worthy by your sick logic. They are resisting against the Ashkenazi hegemony in Palestine and the displacement of our people.
56. CLEAR ZIONIST TERRORISM
Salma ,   Palestine   (07.28.10)
Zionist terrorists blew up the King David Hotel in PALESTINE !
57. Bin laden's consciece is clear too!!!
Moise   (07.28.10)
58. who write this crap, the name wasn't irgun
ghostq   (07.28.10)
there was never org name irgun, you might try Etzel org, there is no such thing as irgun!!!! the person who wrote this article don't know even basic history.
59. A True Israeli Patriot
b mezritch ,   philadelphia pa   (07.28.10)
Jews better off fighting for a homeland then dying in the ovens of Germany. British high command was targeted. A very fair target at the time. Palestinians rejected the opportunity to establish a homeland at the time, unfortunately.
60. Shaw was dangerous than Jewish bomb in the crowed
observer   (07.28.10)
the bottom line.
