1. Netanyahu
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.13.11)
In his speech, Netanyahu whined about Abbas' incitement that led to the massacre. But talk is cheap. Now Netanyahu has a choice. He can choose to be remembered as Obama's bootlicker, apologize to Abbas and continue building an Arab state. Or he can choose to be remembered as a leader: go back to normal levels of construction for Jews in Judea and Samaria, enforce the law against illegal Arab building, suspend all building in Rawabi, suspend all negotiations with the PA until free and fair elections are held and withdraw all VIP rights from Abbas and Fayyad. As for Obama? Netanyahu should learn from Abbas: say no.
2. Shame on Netanyahu.
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.13.11)
3. Palis only talk about peace when the Jews retiliate
(03.13.11)
4. facts aren't "incitement"
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.13.11)
if palestinians wouldn't target children for cold-blooded murder, bibi wouldn't have anything to say here. but thanks to the pal culture of death, may the free advertisement of pal terror continue.
5. Netanyahu is right
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.13.11)
Those palestinian that do not like Netanayhu have more countries to live: Lybia, Iran, Sudan
6. PA Incitement
Ron ,   OC, US   (03.13.11)
It was PA incitement that got the Israelis murdered. There has to be payback or more murders will take place. Yes, Jews have killed Arabs over the last 60 or so years. Never have the the Israelis encouraged it, never have they not taken responsibility for it, never have they named a street after a murderer, never have they danced in the streets, never have they passed out candies. If the PA wants peace they still have an open invitation to the negotiating table, I suggest they take a seat before it evaporates.
7. Only one answer - Palestinians must return to peace talks
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.13.11)
The brutal and vicious murder of the Fogel family shows how depraved the Palestinians have become. They have decades of self-induced propaganda and official PA government policy of encouraging all Palestinians to attack Israelis, both civilians and soldiers. There is nothing new in this attack other than showing the depraved and sick brutality of the Palestinian attackers who stuck a knife into a four-month old baby in order to kill her. If the Palestinians want an end to settlement construction, the only way to achieve it is through peace talks or war. They would obviously lose another war, so the world should pressure them to return to the negotiating table. The Palestinians show that they cannot control violence at Israeli civilians - so why should Israel stop all construction if the Palestinians won't stop all violence?
8. PA
Peacepouce ,   Jerusalem   (03.13.11)
reality:PA using incite to murderer... that's more realistic
9. We can say no too
Zach ,   US   (03.13.11)
And Obama should say no to Israel's annual $3 billion security handout. There is no reason for us to continue to subsidize Israel's international insolence and subjugation of the Palestinian people.
10. Settlements are illegal, period
Zach ,   US   (03.13.11)
The murders were horrible and Hamas and PA have stated so. Israel cannot claim a moral higher, ground, as if the IDF has never killed women and children in cold blood, because they have. To the tune of several hundred during cast lead. Two wrongs don't make a right, and Israel is obviously not concerned with making peace with Palestine. Abbas offered to concede all of the major territories, and was flatly refused. As long as there is continued violence Israel can justify its construction of more settlements, which is what it really wants.
11. Only 400? 40,000!
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.13.11)
12. #9 #10
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (03.13.11)
You need to read more the history before post low propaganda. The only ones settlers are the arabs. In 1923 they rushed to live in Israel to avoid the partition of San Remo treated. We are also subsidizing Saudi Arabia since FDR and you do not post that. The cost of that is more than 5B
13. MASSACRE OF CHILDREN
POPPY   (03.13.11)
IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE GOT TO SAY SALMA.... DID YOU ALSO CELEBRATE THEIR DEATHS WITH SWEETS O I FORGOT YOU ARE ALL STARVING IN GAZA
14. 2#
Eli ,   Yerushalayim   (03.13.11)
What is worse, to build a house or to butcher a baby and to celebrate it later on? What is worse to build or to destroy? Your people can only destroy.
15. bye bye #2
JB ,   SoCal, USA   (03.13.11)
Start packing, Sluggo.
16. To Zach # 10
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (03.13.11)
Zach, you are a very clever and brave man! Send my regards to your sister!
17. What have you done Europe!
(03.13.11)
18. THE GALL OF ABBAS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.13.11)
The hypocrite speaks. The PA has been inciting hatred of Israel and Jewish people for thirty years. We've all seen the sick TV programing you have for the kids, your schoolbooks with maps that omit Israel and Imam speeches from the Mosques preaching hatred of Israel, Jewish people and murder. No my friend you have no more credibility, this final act of cold blooded murder has revealed to the world where your deviant, sick and perverted culture has led to, killing 4 month old babies. What bravery? Your people are like the Morlocks of the book "The Time Machine" by H.G. Wells. You have devolved on the evolutionary scale. Your days are numbered, that's why your scared now. Your afraid the world will see you for what you truly are, not fit to have a country for a mythical people. To quote the PLO leader in 1977 before they tried to hide the truth so well and trick the world with the greatest hoax ever, the Palestinian people, yea right. As we see HERE: Zuhair Muhsin, leader of the PLO splinter gang known as “Al Sa’iqa” (The Storm) and backed by Syria, said in a March 31, 1977 interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw: "The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct Palestinian people to oppose Zionism. For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan." Now that states it pretty clearly, doesn't it? You know the truth always comes out and Israel never has to lie to prove their point, unlike the Arabs who rely on lying. That's how they elicit undeserved world sympathy.
19. PA=Hamas
bruno ,   Portugal   (03.13.11)
Lock these bastards. Who dictates the terms ? The winners or the losers ? Land for peace has proven to be nothing but poison. Now it is crystal clear who is behind this murder at Itamar ! Do we need more evidence ? Just close down the PA ofices in Ramallah. Let them open their offices in Amman if they wish but in any case, PA=Hamas.
20. Why only 400?
Rachel ,   US   (03.13.11)
Bibi is part of the problem.
21. Zach do you speak on behalf of Hamas and Obama?
(03.13.11)
22. Desperation...
Baruch ,   Marin County, CA   (03.13.11)
The Pal's just lost one of their biggest benefactors, namely Japan, and they're desperate. Acts of desperation like this remind me of when the Pal's lost their other main benefactor some thirty years ago, namely the Soviet Union, and in their desperation the Intifada was born. Alliances that are built from failed ideologies are doomed to failure, and the Pal's have made a host of bad decisions whilst on their quest for "legitimacy". One would think they would have learned a lesson by now but they haven't, and history has proven they won't ever learn from their mistakes. Sadly, innocent people pay the price for these wake up calls on both sides of this insidious game. For some odd reason, however, it seems we have to relearn history over and over again. This isn't about settlers or settlements. These events should remind Israel about the perils of failed ideologies, which in the end are doomed to the ash heap of history. It's just a matter of calling a spade a spade and standing up for what's right. My 2 cents.
23. I am a leftist, but we don't owe anyone anything.
noa ,   israel   (03.13.11)
I say, keep building.
24. Netanyahu is a snake.
Mark W ,   Detroit USA   (03.13.11)
Netanyahu has no desire to work on any peace plan that would see the present Israeli borders shrink. He and his ilk will watch Jews and Arabs die until the last last one, rather than put away his pride and negotiate in good faith. This move to build Jewish communities in the West Bank punishes every Arab who dreams of a future Palestinian state along side the Jewish one. Every one of them with the exception of the murderers over the weekend had nothing to do with killing our young family. This move will do nothing more that galvanize all Arabs against us and the world as well. Even though we are the great Jewish People, it is possible that we are wrong regarding our treatment of the Arabs. Maybe when the whole world says we are wrong, it's not because they're evil. Maybe we're just wrong. How did Holocaust survivors turn into such cold, self-centered taskmasters? Shame on us!
25. Look who's talking
Jewish Warrior   (03.13.11)
Abbas: the very same man whose media is responsible for inciting the murders in the first place.
26. The Murders Were Abhorrent, but this is not the way
Mike ,   US   (03.13.11)
I in no way condone the attacks by the Al-Aqsa Martyrs on this family. It's unacceptable in any political dispute. But can no one here see the desperation of the Palestinians? They are trying to reclaim land they see as stolen that 95%+ of the world agrees with them on, but refuses to enforce. The world media has failed them. Negotiations have failed them. Hamas has failed them. Fatah has failed them. They really have very little left. Their actions are not an acceptable alternative, but perhaps the solution here isn't to paint them into an even tighter corner than before? Like animals, humans lash out when cornered.
27. Abbas the hypocrite.
Spencer ,   Israel   (03.13.11)
This is a typical response from Abbas, a supporter of terrorism and one who yearns for one thing, the destruction of the Jewish state.
28. ONLY ACCUSATIONS AND EXCUSES !
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (03.13.11)
THIS IS WHAT IS PLANED - http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4041665,00.html - AND ABBAS AND COMPANY, IS GOING TO SHOT THEIR OWN PEOPLES UPRISING, IF NEED BE, TO STOP IT - ?. Orao.Srbia.
29. "pa" schools and tv incite daily, shut them down.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.13.11)
30. For the world to see? The TV media has not even mention It
Ari YNET PUBLISHTHIS ,   Jerusalem   (03.13.11)
Some of the world press only published the news in a small corner. In Spain El Pais mention the Crime as 5 "settlers were killed probably by a Palestinian. Why not 5 Israelies, why not a Palestinian terrorist. They chose the words pefectly to keep demoniazing Israel. In most South American Countries the crime was not published The spoken TV. media BBC,CNN,FOX,FRANCE 24has not mention a word on this. Since, the big titles are the Japanese disaster and the Ghadaffy's madness there are no more news. FRance 24 Spoke about the renewall of construction in settlements and the danger it is for the peace, about the crime in Itamar, NOTHING. MOst of this policy is to blame also to the News Agencies. AP,UP,FP, EFE..etc are the ones who distribute the news. It sounds clearly a complot to obstracize Israel. Israel must go to the UN for every detail the PA does, incitement etc We have to recocognizre that the constant incitement of Palestininas against Israel, their diplomatic work,The use of the different International forums and podiums have beared them fruit. Israel Should start using similiar tactics. Step up the Hasbara, promote Press conferences go to the UN etc Already the PA want's to blame the incitement on Nataniahu and make the crime of ITAMAR a lesser detail. If Israel doesn't move the criminals will be us, and the Fogel's crime will be forgotten
