You must be a very lonely person What are you doing on Ynet all day
32. why driving on the left side of the road?!
muhannad ,   jerusalem palestine   (10.09.10)
if he wasnt trying to run over them why is he driving on the left side of the road?! or he thinks hes in england?!! he should be prosecuted for attempted murder
33. The poor 'innocent' settlers
Leon ,   Ottawa, Canada   (10.09.10)
This settler is using the classic defence for reprehensible behaviour. He was just 'defending' himself against 'heavily armed' terrorists. Its amazing what passes for self defence in Israel when you are Israeli Jew.
34. WOW yourself, # 28
Michael Davison ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (10.09.10)
What's really amaziong is your ability to ignore the evidence in front of your eyes. Why were there so many cameras evident in the video (I saw at least 3)? How is it thyat an al-Jazeera cameraman "just happened" to be there? The boy who was hit got up. He threw a rock at the car's windshield before he was hit. I would suspect a staged incident before a hit-and-run accident--just like the Mohammad al-Dura incident.

flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (10.09.10)
It is truly amazing to see how you, Ynet's most prolific Yputz, try to justify throwing rocks at Israelis and their cars.
36. tha's the way the raise their children
sane person ,   world   (10.09.10)
lie lie lie. that's all they know. i don't think that muslims usually pray with a shirt digusing their face. the sad hing is, that this kid's family probably get money now from other terrorists for doing that and this "cute" little boy will become a terrorist himself...
37. It starts with rocks...
Cliff ,   USA   (10.09.10)
Then broken glass. Then hands and arms and punching. Then a lynching, followed by Arabs showing off their bloody hands. The driver did what was necessary to avoid being hurt or murdered.
38. matty groves: honest answer
izzy d   (10.09.10)
q: what would you have done? a: I would have blah blah isrealis are scum blah blah palastinians are oppressed people and cant be held accountable for their actions blah blah ignore video evidence in favor of tightly held biases blah
39. Yup, they give em rocks on the way out of "prayers"
ace ,   san fran   (10.09.10)
40. Release the whole footage Al Jazeera
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (10.09.10)
Where is the rest of the footage Al Jazeera? Why have you cut off the preceeding events. This clip is only 26 seconds long... this is the shortest clip Al Jazeera have ever uploaded? What are they trying to hide. Why not release the whole clip? Who is the Al Jazeera editor who deliberately edited out the start of the confrontation?

43. Hahaha
Alex ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.09.10)
What a dumb kid, ran straight at a moving car and got smashed..... If I would have been caught throwing rocks at cars when I was 11 my dad would have kicked my *** himself.
44. it just so happened that journalists were there
Golan ,   Modiin   (10.09.10)
there is a rule. If you see a large group of journalists; they are not there by chance. they paid Arabs for action. As for the man in the car he should file a suit against the journalists for endangering children like that and he should also sue the father for willingly placing his son in a riot.
45. al jazera should be banned from Israel
Golan ,   modiin   (10.09.10)
1. the kids had their hands raised to throw rocks 2. the kids had on masks 3. journalists were not there by chance 4. had the Jewish man stopped he would have been lynched which was the intention from the beginning. 5. Al Jazera is dishonest and "creating" news. this places them in the realm of propaganda not news.
46. Matty Groves, the perfect palestinian
bob96 ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.09.10)
Matty, you're usually full of crap, but this time, you outdid yourself: "Hit and run"?? Of course you would prefer "Hit and stay... and be killed". Every anti-israeli looks the video with such a narrow glass that we can get pearls of wisdom like yours... You didn't see the OTHER young aspiring criminals throwing stones (not flowers), you could HEAR them, and you say with a straight face that the driver should have STAYED? Get a life... or get a shot of fresh neurons to see if what's left of your brain starts functioning again. Your'e way over pathetic.
47. FULL VIDEO here
guillermo ,   israel   (10.09.10)
here is the seconds before and the seconds after. The kids are running towards the car to throw rocks at it, the guy swerves to avoid them. Then the innocent arabs taking pictures shouting PHOTO PHOTO PHOTO and forcing the kid to go to the hospital (get more compassion points like that) http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D0QvMW7abxGg

Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (10.09.10)
You see this is the reason I can’t take you seriously as you read in what you desperately want to believe. Here you state that I was ‘justifying throwing rocks at Israelis and their cars’ when I clearly stated no such thing. If you reread my post you will see I made an ‘observation’ namely that the Ynuts on this thread were taking pains to justify the righteousness of a Hit & Run incident. Not once on this thread or any other related thread have I tried to defend or justify the actions of the youths or driver in this incident yet because of your ingrained bias you are trying to falsely accuse me of taking a position I have never took.
49. No matter how much they edit and photoshop...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.09.10)
..this clip, they won't be able to make it do what they want it to....ie make the Israeli driver the bad guy...unless, of course, they produce a cartoon 'version'. To Matty Groves... who always loves to 'prove'.. Here's proof... the type that you forever lend yourself to...just to take a cheap swipe at Israel.

Moving to Gaza-city soon for ideology-purposes?
51. Why has Ali Waked specified "settler"? It could have been
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.09.10)
any Israeli coming under attack by Arab children stone-throwers.
52. LIAR
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.09.10)
"I just left Friday night's prayers at the protest tent" the 11 year old Palestinian stone thrower said. Does he go to prayers shirtless with his head covered with a hood ? Lies, lies & more lies.
53. HUH?
Rachmiel ,   MburgUSA   (10.09.10)
You mean the boy's father said the boy can't talk and here he is to tell you that he can't talk?
54. Hit & Run for your life in Silwan
S. Selavan ,   Jerusalem   (10.09.10)
I am shocked by your slanted, one sided reporting regarding "boy run over by settler leader" Your Hebrew report clearly shows a group of masked youths pelting his car with stones. Is it any shock that to escape the ambush they were hit? And surprise, surprise-there just happen to be reporters there waiting with theri cameras ready! Honest reporting aims at showing the entire story...I am shocked by your lack of it.
55. Matty Groves and extrapolation of his pseudo-facts
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (10.09.10)
Very strange, Matty, that nowhere in the article do you see the term "hit and run", which has weminal implication in most western countries. There obviously was no "hit and run". The fact remains that this very much appears to be a result of Palestinian kids hurling rocks trying to injure or kill the driver. Groves fails to question why Al Jazeera only shows the very small edited clip. Groves fails to question why Palestinian kids have been taught to try and kill Israelis. However, Groves does create a new story by making up this "hit and run" when we clearly see Palestinians hurling rocks at the car. And yes, it is very, very strange that the location appears to be full of photographers. Clearly not a hit and run. Very much a staged attack by Palestinians. Groves, why are you pretending it is something that it was not?
56. Nice try, Matty Groves (#48), but we're too smart for you.
flyingdoc57 ,   Florida, U.S.A.   (10.09.10)
"Here you state that I was ‘justifying throwing rocks at Israelis and their cars’ when I clearly stated no such thing." This entire episode of a car hitting the 'poor, poor, peaceful, loving, tolerant, starving, innocent little' Palestinian child would not have occurred were it not for his throwing rocks (for the cameras) at the Israeli's car. You indeed "JUSTIFY" his actions by failing to address this provocative action on his part. Here in civilized society, we refer to your type of behavior as an act of "ommission", as opposed to an act of "commission". By your perpetual avoidance of recognizing the Arabs' provocative actions, focusing solely on the Israeli's reactions, you (by ommission) "JUSTIFY" those provocative actions. Keep spewing your Fakestinian propoganda, Matty. This may work for you on Haaretz or Al-Jazeera. But here, you are so out of your league as to be inconsequential. Keep spewing your "Ynut" babble. Perhaps if you say "Ynut" enough times, your fake "Palestinians" will get a Country of their own, right?

Norway   (10.09.10)
So what? The man had to avoid these stone throwing devel posessed youngsters!
58. #48. You are trying to mislead. That was no hit and run.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.09.10)
That was a downright ambush, well prepared, complete with 5 cameramen, a posse of hooded children rock throwers running towards the car menacingly and their adult handlers nearby. You must be quite frustrated that you cannot add anything to it but call it a "hit and run". Poor soul, look for other news items where you can give a more convincing distorted view. This one is not for you.
59. Y net, what's really wrong in my opinion?!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.09.10)
just wondering .. layla tov .
60. Al Jazera is dishonest and "creating" news. this places them
European   (10.09.10)
Al Jazera is dishonest and "creating" news. this places them in the realm of propaganda not news. Ban the BASTARDS. They deserve it. Ban dishonest journalism.
