31. If family doesn't object, go ahead and publish
Schreiber   (03.12.11)
There are crimes that Arabs perpetrate that the mainstream media does not want the world to see. Such as the lynching of Jews in Ramallah in 2000, for example. You can get them on the Masada2000 website, but it's not easy to access that site. The Jewish media does not dare to publish pictures of Arabs with their hands dripping Jewish blood. Those who haven't seen those Masada2000 pictures don't know the truth of what Jews are up against. So I say go ahead and publish the pictures of this and past massacres. Enough covering up for the "Palestinians" already.
32. Opinion
Rami ,   Nablus   (03.12.11)
In fact any palestinian should feel sorry for the killing of babies .Our Islam ,clearly and with no doubt, instructs us not to kill children, women and old people. I don't think a palestinian committed this act, it might be committed by a jew who has scores with the family.If IDF could capture the palestinians who did that and they confess to doing that, i would regretably believe it. But If IDF enters a city late night (as they usually do when they reach a deadlock in their investigation and instead of coming back to the Isareli public empty-handed) and kills some wanted people and declares that they were behind the attack ,this will be nonsense and is just done to calm settlers and no more. This will confirm the fact that a jew did it. Let's wait and see. PA at this stage should blame Israel for rushing to conclusions that palestinians committed this act. Again let's wait and see
33. shocking photo's
rachel ,   rome italy   (03.12.11)
Israel should publish the photo's and show the world what the palestinians are doing.Only the arabs are good in showing their victims,and the world stands firm to condemn Israel,this time Bibi should show the world what these or this bastard did to this family.
34. Picture of murdered baby while alive is on Israel Nat. News
Schreiber   (03.12.11)
35. Photos publish, why?
Mike ,   Uk   (03.12.11)
to make political capital out of this tragedy? Bibi, will the photos help the situation? No, Will it bring peace? No. Will the world show sympathy for your government and its policies? Certaintly not. , On the contray it will reinforce world opinion that you need to get out of the West Bank.
36. Don't publish them, it won't work.
(03.12.11)
If I get killed in a terrorist attack, I wouldn't want my lynched body's photo all over the media. Some would laugh over it and see it as 'freedom fighting success'. Some would look at it and turn the page over to the next news or to celebrity news. I would definitely not want my home and my blood to be published. In this case, international media hardly use the term 'terrorist attack'. Instead, they criticize the settlement enterprise and blame Israeli government support for settlements and for almost dead peace process. No hasbara and no compassion can come out of publishing those photos. Don't publish them.
37. the innocent children photos
Issy Hass ,   Ra'anana-Israel   (03.12.11)
Please ,Bibi show the phots to the Haretze paper.we might have a taer from the editor
38. # 32
yaacov ,   jerusalem   (03.12.11)
I fully agree with # 32... past experience had proved that moslems do not attack babies and womes... This attack may be organized inside the israeli government to move something forward... or its done by others who have certain score with the family...
39. WHY ISRAELI HASBARA so innefective, PALESTINIAN HASBARA
Yaawqove ,   Haifa Israel   (03.12.11)
effective... 1)PICTURES 2)Narratives Thats it. Get rid of the bumbling tools who cant speak english and say uhh..more than anything insightful or meaningful. Put those nearest crying on the TV. This passivist, privacy is hurting our nation. Need to share our grief and shout it to the world, STOP KEEPING IT inside!
40. STOP KEEPING IT INSIDE! Shout it & Show it and show it to th
Yaawqove ,   Haifa Israel   (03.12.11)
the whole wide world. GRAPHIC PICTURES NARRATIVES Those two things are why palestinian hasbara has kicked israedli hasbara to the curb. no more bumbling tools who cant convey the emotion of the situation, let alone english.......
41. PUBLISH NOW!!!!!!!They have been murdered and their souls
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.12.11)
want the world to see the crap that they and am yisrael have had tgo endure, with the worlds sanction... PUBLISH NOW. They have been murdered, they are dead, life is taken from them by the evil palestinian culture in our midst. the dead can not speak anymore, so we must speak for them: LET THE WORLD SEE. Please dont edit Ynet.
42. Pictures
pepi   (03.12.11)
Show them! The world needs to see what these animals do to human beings just living their everyday lives.
43. #3 You don't even have the humanity to condem murder of baby
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (03.12.11)
Shame on you... you disgust me...
44. 32 (warped) "opinion"
Zen ,   London   (03.12.11)
"I don't think a palestinian committed this act, it might be committed by a jew who has scores with the family" Evidence that even the most moderate of palestinians think that the world if flat. If this is not a them-or-us-decision then what is? Do not publish out of respect for the dead. When the time comes that the West is collapsing under attacks from North Africa, China dn Iran - then strike at the scum ALL of the 'sweet eaters'; deal with them once and for always. Gaza to Egypt bits of the west bank to Jordan; end of.
45. The decision should be up to the victim's family
Rachel   (03.12.11)
And no one else should have any say in this one way or the other.
46. as a survivor of Arab terrorism, I say DO NOT PUBLISH...
Emily ,   Jerusalem   (03.12.11)
THE PHOTOS. At the end of the day across time and after the initial shock the family will regret the decision to publish the photos. Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu should not be encouraging the family members to do so. Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu should remember that it is a clear and correct Jewish rule NOT to dishonor the dead. To publish the photos is E Kavod l'Met. (a dishonor to the dead) and it should not be done.
47. VENGEANCE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (03.12.11)
May a thousand of the enemy be hung .
48. Did the Netanyahu family publish photos of Yoni?
Carolina ,   Efrat   (03.12.11)
No they did not! So why is Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu pushing for this? What part of his political agenda does it serve?
49. It Was A terrorist Attack
A.C.Guard ,   USA   (03.12.11)
The photo's must be shown so the people will understand how weak Bibi's response is when he finally reponds.. On it's face, it was a murder not a terrorist attack, but if it were not for Islamist terrorist being heroes in there own world these killings would never have happened. The reponse should be as if it were a terrorist attack, because to the people of that village it certainly was one.
51. to all TBers calling 4 publication of photos...
Menashe ,   Haifa   (03.12.11)
are you aware that there are three surviving children? These children have enough to deal with without having the memory of these photos published. Best option don't publish!
52. R.I.P
yunan amram ,   tel aviv   (03.12.11)
I wish that all our people lving in the west bank would come back and live in Israel where they can be protected. IDF is already overstretched with Hezbollah and Syria in the north, and now Egypt and Gazza in the south. The IDF can only do so much, so the West Bank settlers should come home.
53. #46. In KIngs I story about David & Batsheva's
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (03.12.11)
baby. The baby was severely sick and David, the Jewish King, fasted and prayed and isolated himself for the baby's health, so the baby would live and recover..... however when the baby died, King David immediately called for food, saying, he hoped God might change the decree, but now that the baby was dead, what can he do? he fasted and prayed to heal the baby, not thats hes dead what can fasting and prayer do to bring him back to life?... .so too. these innocent souls and babies are savagely killed. ask yourself , if this is how i went God forbid would i want it to be a shocking revelatiopn to the world through pictures and narratives of nearby people, and thus aid all of am yisrael, or keep it within the family? These people living in J & S do so out of mesirat nefesh- self sacrifice. literally.... i would think they would want the world to know....they are now dead they arent offended anymore.
54. the world doesn't always....
aline silverman ,   israel   (03.13.11)
If you are not interested by what happens in Israel why did you read this article? AS an Israeli, a Jew and a Human BEING I feel bad for the people in Japan but it doesn't mean I can't feel very sad and shocked and horrified by the terrorist attack in Itamar !!!!
55. Israel mulling publications
Shemtov ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.13.11)
Very, very, very well said. I would add one small thing: no prisoners! Am Israel Hai!!!
56. PUBLISH THE PHOTOS - NOTHING TO THINK ABOUT!!!
jenny ,   USA/Israel   (03.13.11)
57. publish the photo ! ! please !!!
dror dby ,   ramat gan   (03.13.11)
58. Israel
Augusto ,   Portugal   (03.13.11)
Sad. How can someone do such a thing... Fortify Israel, sweep out gaza, west bank and the north and to jordan all who are not Jewish and fortify Israel. A war is not finished until all others are out of Israel...or controled by Isreal.
59. Don't publish the photos
Yossef   (03.13.11)
Think about the family and the orphans.
60. 1) it won't make a difference 2) it will harm the survivors
dani   (03.13.11)
better to build a new neighborhood for 1000 people and name it after the family
