1. Entire family?
Shlomo Kamera   (03.12.11)
Liebermann says the entire family was killed, yet 3 chikldren remain aliveb and untouched. When the Israel rep goes running to Ban Ki Moon, I am sure that he/she will be reminded that the settlements are illegal, and that if they weren't there, then this incident would not have happened. Murders happen every day, every where in the world, so I can't imagine a whole stack of FMs throughout the world condemning this paricular incident over others.
2. so sad. May their memories be for a blessing.
billybob   (03.12.11)
I hope the IDF catches their murderers soon.
3. Strong Condemnation
Strong   (03.12.11)
I'm sure they will issue something as strong as they did when over 1,300 Palestinian children were killed in the last 10 years by Settlers and IDF. This is a terrible act, but it's just as horrible when you do it and talk-backers here say "he/she would've grown up to be a terrorist".
4. Attack in Itamar
Tess Emdin ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (03.12.11)
And once again the world press says nothing. Is this due to shame or they just don't care. I feel the time has come for us"the people" to have our voice heard. We should contact and write to all world media and at least embarass them into giving an opinion.
5. With Peace Parteners Like These...
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.12.11)
... i.e. Fatah, who needs enemies (i.e. Hamas). Nearly 8 months ago Fatah requested to sit down at the negociating table with Israel after preventing a coup of their democratic victory - at least in Gaza (they lost to an illegal coup of their democratic mandate in the West Bank by the terror organization Fatah, our peace partners). For the first time since the Six Day War Hamas was willing to negociate - something they swore never to do but began to understand as necessary to placate their electorate. Democracy weakened their harsh political stance, yet we treat them like the devil-encarnate while we embrace the undemocratic regime of the Fatah terrorists. It's time to wake up from this delusion.
6. ARM ALL SETTLERS -
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (03.12.11)
- EVEN IF IT WOULD NOT HAVE HELPED IN THIS CASE. IF ONLY THE POLICE ARE ARMED IN IS A POLICE STATE. AND THE POLICE HAS NO MONOPOLY IN PROTECTING ITS CITYSENCE, THAT IS A RIGHT WHO FOREMOST BELONG TO THE PRIVATE CITYZEN, WHEREAS TO THE POLICE IT IS A DUTY AND OBLIGATION. Orao.Srbia.
7. #1 Shlomo
Yossef   (03.12.11)
1) I am glad that it is not your family (or a part of it). You must be happy, aren't you ? 2) Liberman said : when **every movement of a caravan** is commented, no voice to condemn a murder ? Use your brain not just to fill your skull.
8. Small family wiped out! my condolences.
12.03.2011   (03.12.11)
Why worry ,about those clowns. Just take one look at the face of Ban Ki Moon and the likes of the Ashton woman, and that should tell you what those clowns (all of them in one sack of..... whatever, are). Forget about that group of silly little spolied boys and their Nannies that hang around them. Forget about them. They are not worth the spit you polish your shoes with.
9. @ Nr. 4 just in case you haven't noticed
Max Maier ,   Germany   (03.12.11)
Nr. 4 Just in case you haven't noticed but Japan has been hit by an apocalyptic earthquake, suffered a thousand people dead and is battling to prevent one of its nuclear power stations from suffering a core meltdown. Do you seriously believe that the world should rather give its attention to the murder of some settlers, as deplorable as those are?
10. Collective punishment on Nablus is not the solution.
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.12.11)
"IDF" forces failed , let the Palestinian security forces act, don't create another killer.
11. To Kamera the daft. #1. Moshe dayan said.
Eran ,   Singapore   (03.12.11)
Jews have lived in Israel/Palestine for thousands of years. Get ur history straight. Stop fabricating. Stop hating. God does not like haters. When you are taught hate from the time you leave your mother's womb, killing a children with a knife shows you have NO feelings for humankind. Now it is apt to quote the great General Moshe Dayan: "It is not in our hands to prevent the murder of innocent Israelis, but it is in our hands to fix a high price for our blood so the arabs would be unwilling to pay it" The palestinians have no frigging idea how bad they made it for themselves!

Eran ,   Singapore   (03.12.11)
The palestinians have no frigging idea how bad they made it for themselves!
13. Kill and hate
Mel ,   chicago   (03.12.11)
Palestinians children are taught to hate and kill Israelis from a very young age. Palestinian islamic terrorists use children, hospitals, schools and civilian positions to hide in hopes that when the bombs do rain upon then and civilians get killed, they can brag about how evil the Israelis are by killing children. This is the ultimate in cynicism.
14. Freddom fighters
Igor ,   Russia   (03.12.11)
Poor palastnis they are "freddom fighter"-UN The fight aginst 1 month baby wow good job. You show the world what type of pepole you are=Monsters.And monsters should be in cage.
15. Disgusting
Izzet ,   Syria   (03.12.11)
As a syrian I am disgusted even if israeli enemy of syria. RIP family, be strong Israeli, your people and nation will prevail and make it through hard times. If palestinian did this shame shame, israeli only kill children by mistake, but filastini kalb kill on purpose. Be strong israeli.
16. Balestine or Palestine
Roy ,   Miami   (03.12.11)
Arabs cant even say palestine. palestine is a greek word not arabic it was given to the kingdom of israel by the roman conquerer if you ask an arab to say palestine he would say balestine cause thers no P in arabic. They cannot even pronounce their countrys name.
17. #1. Man you're brain dead or just a troll.
Joe ,   Toronto   (03.12.11)
18. Celebrate today.
David ,   Ariel   (03.12.11)
Rafah residents hand out candy following murder of parents, three children (YNET). Celebrate now, tomorrow you may all die.
19. # 4
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.12.11)
Of course we should make our voices heard. Instead of saying "we should" say, "we must" & "we will" Tess, write to as many news websites as you can, I intend to start right now.
20. # 1
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.12.11)
Two adult parents, 2 children & a 1 month old baby were kniffed to death by a maniac & all you can say is "if" & "the settlements are illegal" I am absolutley dumbfounded by your very uncaring post. Words fail me.
21. Japanese technology!?
Husain Ibrahimov ,   KAZAN, Russia   (03.12.11)
I hope it was not Japanese technology used in fence security system which stopped after earthquake in homeland of Japan.
22. shlomo kamera - a 'nom de plume'?
alex ,   UK   (03.12.11)
The above does not read as any Israeli or Jew would write. Increasingly, we see the enemies of Israel adopting Hebrew names for their writing to make it seem as if they are genuine. They often are not.. Whatever the views, and whoevers', of the general politics of the region, I have only ever seen Arab, Muslim and the hate-filled non-Jewish 'left'' writers write in such a manner about deaths of Jews. We should question carefully the true identity of the authors of such comments. Of the family so brutally murdered, including the one month old baby, this takes an unspeakabe monster. to carry out. This is about savagery, not politics. My condolences to the victims' family, their friends and those in their community.
23. settlers
jerry   (03.12.11)
so, according to #1 and #3 "settlers" have no right to live.... good to know your opinion
24. THE SICK PERVERSION OF A ....
Mazrk from Georgia ,   USA   (03.12.11)
Deviant culture, This is what the culture of death mentality has brought the Arabs to, total perversion. With the Japan earthquake don't expect to see or read this horrible act of terrorism anywhere else but in Israel. Only if the victims were Arab would we read about it. All I can say is Israel better respond brutally. That is the only way to deter such sickness. How else can a coward and baby killer be treated. Somebody in the West Bank knows him and is hiding him. All those involved must be killed without mercy. Find him, drag him out in the street, and shoot him. Unless the Pals themselves give him up, all should be punished. Many people in the WB know this guy and where he is now.
25. Peace Lovers
Marcel ,   Florida   (03.12.11)
Dear Peace Lovers, As you know my primary focus is on pleasing those raping Israel and not Israel or her citizens,especially those on the other side of the imaginary green line. I have removed security roadblocks and given the Palestinian Islamic terrorists more freedom and other incentives to show our weaker,gentle side while giving less freedom to trouble makers Jews who oppose my plan of surrender. This murder of the settler family in Itimar works well for our agenda of handing more land over to the Palestinian's which I will announce shortly with my Lord Obama. After this limited show of force nothing will change as we must surrender and allow defeat to level the playing field as we are out of balance with so many defeats of Arab armies. It's only fair that we raise their level of self esteem by giving them one for the Gipper. Jews are used to sacrifice and I will lead them in this way. I'm sure you heard this week of my plan to build thousands of homes in Gaza for the Hamas clan. Anything I can do to serve and assist Israel's enemies as this is the only way I know to bring the peace of the grave to Israel. By the way ,the Muslim murderer of the family of five in Samaria we let out of Prison early cut the fence surrounding Itamar. We must protect the rights and aspirations of our dear Palestinian partners first and foremost because that is what Hillary told me I must do. sincerely, B.Netanyahu

27. Is it a terrorist attack?
Jon ,   Baltimore US   (03.12.11)
The Al Aqsr brigade claimed it but that does not mean that they did it. Terrorist groups routinely take credit for things that are done by others just to get their name in the papers where they want it to be. The murder of one family is a terrible act but is not necessarily terrorism. Maybe world governments are rightly waiting until the true perpetrators are found, not just glory hound terrorists looking for publicity. It could be terrorism and then should be condemned as such but just easily be a violent neighbor who comitted the act and then tried to make it look like someone had come through the barrier, which would explain why the system showed an incident occured but did not show a breach. Wait until the real truth comes out, not just the "truths" of people who have already decided who is responsible.
28. dayan is wrong
mohson   (03.12.11)
its not the idf who has to babysit villages. It is each family with dogs, and guns and village night patrols as electronic systems fail as this one. Haniyeh and top hamas are responsible for this and they and their close and dear have to be eliminated. Haniyeh has gone underground. Start taking prisoners ad hoc. Back in 99 and 2000, ehud barak as PM had no idea how to reduce terror as he kept yapping empty slogans like we are the strongest in the middle east and don't test us. He hit empty buildings. Sharon who put barak to shame finally unleased yaalon and a dent was made in west bank terror, house to house and corralling village, every boy 16 and over. Then sharon became ill and olmert and peretz who as kadimites were going to unilterally withdraw which they foisted on sharon. Then they had no idea and no nerve to dent hezbollah and hamas. So barak came back to the rescue. Yes he was better than peretz but not by much. he has no idea how to fight terror and look at cast lead and marmora as examples. He tried to stop cast lead,w as against the syrian nuclear hit, removed patrols from judea and samara, fired rubber bullets at jews, and underequipped commandos for the marmora. And bibi sticks with him because of votes and that he was his commanding officer. In truth,barak was one of israel's worst oeprational generals as moshe dann well described with the word chicken drawn right on his back. he will do nothing in retribution. OK here's is what you do- 1) build 100 new settler homes and tell US to go to hell if they say one word. 2) eliminate haniyeh and zohar 3) blow up 6 gas stations in north gaza, 5 metal shops, a power station and the fishing docks. 4) arrange all judean villages to have village night patrols with dogs and each house should be armed and with dogs., 5) institute death penalty for murder and don't cry me about the holocaust. i am sick of the haaretz cries for palestinians which is totally bogus as there is no such animal. of course fayyad and abbas distance themselves from the murder because they are scared,yet they name their town squares of this merde.
29. Number 1
dan Guralnek ,   veisbane australia   (03.12.11)
Number one, i think you are partially right. UN probably won't create too much of a big deal over this. But your reasoning is wrong. If it was an israeli or the IDF that did this to a palestinian family, there would be major repercussions and foreign ministers around the world would definitely get on board, they would be launching international enquiries.
30. Punish the murderers? HE'S GOING TO GIVE THEM A STATE!!!
Marcella   (03.12.11)
The PM will give them a state, the US/EU/UN will continue to pour tons of money on them, the world community will increase their encouragement and moral support for statehood, and the PA will name a square or a school after the murderer. That's reality!!! Spare us your words, Mr. Prime Minister. The only way to honor these victims and all the thousands of other victims who have fallen to Arab terror is to establish FULL SOVEREIGNTY over the land without automatic citizenship for a community at war with the Jews, ARM your Jewish civilian population, and RAISE SECURITY measures as high as necessary, for as long as necessary - no matter how much the world community bleats about it. As for the family of the perpetrator - banish them to Gaza. And a final word to LIKUD - We know about your hypocrisy - You too spare us your crocodile tears!
