31. hunt down and kill all involved all involved are guilty

32. The home itself wasn't secure
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
If a Rav Barreach or PlaDelet Door and Srogim had been in place, the terrorists wouldn't have been able to enter in the first place unless they used explosives Whoever who was in charge of security has to accept his share of the blame Five lives destroyed, for want of a fortified door and window bars
33. it is a political / diplomatic event
kid ,   planet earth   (03.12.11)
Indeed horrible. If Israelies killing Arabs is noteworthy news, then the opposite should be news, too. Isn't it? The mere question whether the IDF hit civilians by mistake is a reason for a UN investigation. By the same logic, intentional targeting of Israelies must be a reason for investigation. Isn't it? An so forth.
34. 6. ARM ALL SETTLERS ,...
split ,   US   (03.12.11)
Did you say "SETTLERS" ??? ,...
35. who does this
courtney ,   usa   (03.12.11)
as in, who brings their children into a contested area like that? take the settlements out. in the meantime, launch some drone attacks in retaliation
36. Media Coverage
Max ,   Washington DC   (03.12.11)
If the murdered family (parents and children) had been palestinians, the story with large photographs would have been on the front page of the Washington Post and not at the bottom of page A6. On the same page more coverage is given to "Gaza plant engineer allegedly imprisoned". What has become of fair and balanced news reporting in this world?
37. PA will identify the murders (to name a new square)
Eric L ,   Chicago, USA   (03.12.11)
PA will eventually identify the murders, but not for justice....This is just to fulfill their semi-official 'square naming' tradition of blood....
38. To Number 3
Allan ,   Jaffa, Israel   (03.12.11)
And I am sure that the 10,000 rockets fired at Israel will be commented on by you as well, as you seem to have forgotten that part and I hope that one day you experience the full joys of being on the receiveing end of a Hamas Grad missle.
39. Another innocent family wiped out by
miketheknife   (03.12.11)
muslim animals. Just do me one BIG favor... when you catch the B's, please string them up by the B.... , if possible on a town square and leave them there to die in absolute agony. If you're unable to do that, just call on me. I would be so happy to help the "soft" IDF and to show them how the job is done. I guarantee the arab crime will drop pretty quickly. Arabs are yelow-bellied unless working in groups!
40. ENOUGH is ENOUGH!!!....
Eli F. ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (03.12.11)
If this barbaric act of slaughtering an entire family in their sleep ( A one year old baby, for G-d's sake!!) isn't enough to warrant the death sentence for these Islamic-Fascist, then we have completely lost our way...... Time for us to WAKE UP!!!
41. Censored
Marcella   (03.12.11)
I suppose there's a script we have to follow. bad terrorists, good Israeli government. Well, there's a lot more to that. The truth is that behind all the tears and condemnations by this government, and their promise to punish the perpetrator, the Likud is still plowing right ahead with their plan to give them a state. Punishment? Sure. They'll give them a state!!!! Some punishment! How many people still believe that the Likud is a right wing party? And if the right wing MKs are what they say they are, why did they vote against the NU bill for annexation last month? And do nothing as the PM strips WB security one piece at the time?
42. #34 SPLIT/WES/SCHIZO
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Set an example, instead of talking come on over to test the defenses They're Jews on Jewish land, not even the likes of you will change that simple fact

Birdi ,   Israel   (03.12.11)
You have no right to give the IDF advice, nor to tell Israel what to do. The palestinian forces wont do a thing, besides name a square or a street in the name/s of the killers. Keep quiet, this does not concern you.
44. Crazy animals
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (03.12.11)
Who ever did this is an animal with no soul or compassion for mankind. This was an act of barbarism nothing more nothing less. I believe they will be brought to justice no matter how long it takes. It is an unimaginable crime. My deepest condolences to the family and the State of Israel.
45. Our condolences
Dan Johansson ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (03.12.11)
Our condolences to the family and relatives. One thing is to kill for to defend yourself and family but when you murder for the fun of it and then call it "peace" and also want to build a country on that issue then that is totally being sick. I know many Israelis and Palestinians that are super good people. A few rotten eggs should not be able to make a difference. The rest speaks for itself.
46. The West Bank is too dangerous for Israeli civilians!!!!
andy ,   orlando   (03.12.11)
Only the IDF should be present in the West Bank- not islands of Jewish civilians surrounded by a sea of hostile Arabs! Besides having Jewish settlers in the West Bank props up the supporters for a binational state!

Kudos, Sheik,Rattle & Roll.

Likud is obediently following orders from you know who
50. Solution
Salim   (03.12.11)
Erase the arab occupation of all parts of the Land of Israel. Arabs are not capable of living with human beings (i.e. Jews and Christians) and must be "encouraged" to move back to Arabia where they came from. There they can resume killing one another with the same passion that they kill Jews. It's a universal principle of human right to allow them to express themselves. So let them express their urge to kill by putting them all together in one place and away from the rest of us. May Hashem avenge these despicable murders quickly with fury and rage.

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Florida isn't too safe for Floridian's and tourists, you have your own problems Ask the National Guard to help the Police, who have enough problems trying to protect you Tourists are afraid to use rental cars because the tags indicate that they're rentals, pointing them out as easy target for robbers and hijackings
52. Ehud Barak: You Going To Kepp Taking Jews' Self Defense Away
Doron ,   Haifa Israel   (03.12.11)
??????????????? Huh, you putz? Speak up the murder of 5 more innocent Jews including babies and toddlers is on your head.
53. Give these Nazi Arabs a 3rd Palestinian state; make Israel
Doron ,   Haifa Israel   (03.12.11)
8 miles wide. Then dispose of the moderate holocaust PhD thesis writer Abbas, and Fayad, and bring in the real "Palestinians" in Hamas and Al Aksa joint leadership. This is what pieces Now gives us. The far left is too busy being kind to the crueld to realize they are being cruel to their own. You sick perverted wealthy elitists
54. Fence alert system not activated ?????
Cynic #2   (03.12.11)
How did this happen? Who is responsible for security in Itamar? Is it Hamas or the Palestinian Shin Bet? Besides the murderer, someone else is responsible for the death of this family. I think that something smells fishy in this affair. Catch the perpetrators first, conduct a thorough investigation and then pass judgment. Otherwise, hold thy peace! (excuse the pun).
55. Brought to You by Your "Peace" Partners
Edward ,   Savannah, USA   (03.12.11)
This is a terrible crime committed agaisnt these people but I can tell you exactly what will happen. This family will be sacrificed on the altar of "Peace" and will be used to show that the Arabs must be given their own Land out of Judea-Samaria to prevent this from happening again. The perps may be caught, but if they are, they will be used as an exchange for Gilad, and it will be business as usual. If I was a betting man, I'd bet security wasn't alerted or followed up because this is in the "occupied" West Bank. If this doesn't bring down Bibi and Barak, nothing else will.
56. #54 You may be on to something
Cynic too   (03.12.11)
We need to know whether they have Arab workers coming into the settlement.
57. it depends on whether the fence has been broken through from
observer ,   Egypt   (03.12.11)
inside or outside
58. #57 NON-OBSERVER
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Now is your chance, come here and actually OBSERVE where and how it was broken
59. #54 Cynic
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Are you really as dumb as your making yourself out to be ? Somebody may have forgotten to throw the switch, fault in the circuitry Nobody intentionally disabled the fence so that some of the people inside would get killed in an attack by terrorists Next illogical step would to be to blame it on the 12 year old girl that wasn't at home Your right, something does smell fishy, it's your post Guesses are a dollar a thousand, you're aren’t worth 2 cents
60. #57 NON-OBSERVER
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
Are we then to assume that if Arab workers inside the settlment are responsible, they would have inside access ?
