1. The Israeli government should either
Israeli 2   (03.14.11)
protect the settler to the hilt....OR..... detach Israel from the territories and support the new nation of Judah and Shomron with a strong army. Whatever happens, happens. I think we shall have good news if this happens.
2. You are witnessing today's Maccabbees. Support them 10000%
Dwight ,   Evansville U.S.A.   (03.14.11)
3. That's MEN for you, not the WIMPS we have in gov't
AB ,   TheRock   (03.14.11)
4. To #2 Dwight: Violence is not the answer!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.14.11)
So they kill us and we kill them and they kill us and so it goes on! The real story is that the world is just not interested in dead Israelis and that applies to the USA as well. Some American blogger visiting Israel even said that the "behavior of the settlers instigated the murders". How many US news networks and newspapers carried the story of the atrocity? Of couse the disaster in Japan has swamped the newsmedia and the situation Libya has filled any space available. Of course, had Israelis killed Palestinian children and their parents, well, all would have stopped and the condemnation od Israel would have been the world's number issue!
5. Bring all settlers inside Israel to have real peace
Ron ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
6. #4 agreed
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.11)
The scorched carpet in a mosque caused more outrage in the world than the murder of the Fogel family, but citizens violence is not the answer. All Netanyahu has to do is fire Ehud Barak, resume Jewish construction at Olmert levels, stop the construction of Rawabi and enforce the law against illegal Arab construction.
7. settlers???
les ,   canada   (03.14.11)
first i don't understand why a jew living in the land of israel being called "settler"? although i am a 1000% behind the idf, why can they protect the murderer animals and their supporters better, than the likes of the fogel family? something is amiss in this picture!
8. The Itamar pogrom: Capos vs. Liberators
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (03.14.11)
B"H - We have to realize today that part of the anti-Jewish Arab hate-rhetoric has over-spilled and became Israeli policy and Israeli propaganda and Israeli culture and Israeli establishment and Israeli jurisprudence and Israeli action and Israeli diplomacy under the auspices of the oslo framework. The earlier we admit this potentially fateful error, the earlier we will be able to correct it and get rid of this collective wishful thinking-pattern. In order to do so, we have to first face and then undo the progressive erosion of our political process in these past decades: The fact that the Itamar pogrom came just a few days after the Barak generated and probably Netanyahu approved Gilad Farm pogrom should be telling to every Jew in the Land. This capo-style governance proves itself to be bad for all Jews all the time and lethal for some, sometimes. If we want to survive, as we do, at present we have no choice but to derail the train towards Auschwitz we are sitting on and get onto a new one. This means putting leaders in place that have in mind the national interest and are able to withstand the pressures coming from the outside, from the nations. The only action-item that can achieve this today is a voters' strike. Withhold your vote! There is no need for the Jews to vote in their capos, when we can have our liberators too.

10. Fogel family
Dave ,   Chattanooga, TN, USA   (03.14.11)
This American supports Israel 100% regardless of what our President does or says. Gos bless you all.
11. Extremists
Katherine   (03.15.11)
Attacking Palestinian villages is stupid. This only causes more anger and hatred will only cause more violence between settlers and Palestinians. Leading up to the murders, there has been many "price tag" attacks by settlers against Palestinians throughout the West Bank. It is time to stop this violence on both sides.
12. MURDERER'S CAME FROM AWARTA
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
that's where their footprints led to Jews went to find them Difference is that Murderer's killed five innocent people in their sleep Jews merely demonstrated without killing anyone Next step os to find the killers, bringing them to Justice It's long past time to re-activate the death penalty
13. #5 Excuse me but Itamar is REAL Israel
miriam ,   Real ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
And so are all the other settlements in REAL Israel. Once upon a time...Tel Aviv, Haifa, Jerusalem, Beer Sheva and every other community was a settlement. Who ever lives in Israel is a settler...we are all settling our country.
14. David , Karmiel If you go to NY Times(not CNN) Or another
Richard ,   In DC   (03.15.11)
Not that I like the NYTimes,but Fox news,or even Free Republic & similar sites ..the news has been spreading..Not only about Libya,but Israel is always on the front lines.. You know the world is obsessed with Israel,and you think they would omit it in their news.. gee David ..you are a softy..Don't you watch the news in Israel ...I mean world wide news..
15. To Ariel withhis exposition of the problem Israel has
Richard ,   in DC   (03.15.11)
Israel has with its voting system Briefly put..As you propose a voters STIKE..wow what better way to stop the mealymouthed politicians who run the country through the largess thy receive...That would stop it in its tracks..no money,no honey. Out on their ears,then you'll see how they'd come crawling back.. Okey Ariel Ben...when are you going to begin arranging this? I am with you all the way...it is the only way.. How are you going to attract people to join the fray..That is the crux of the matter..When and if you reply,could you give the sort of plan you may have in mind..I am very curious indeed
16. The Fogels sit with G-d while we suffer here. Itamar should
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (03.15.11)
be built to its maximum size and then expanded so the Fogals can look down and see what their neighbors are now allowed to have.
17. #9; Great Video, THANKS, MUST SEE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.15.11)
I filed it. I've started files in several categories to refute the constant lies by the Arabs in the disputed land. This went into a video file I keep. Although recently YNET for some reason has made it hard for me to post any of my remarks with links. I don't quite understand why, because the Arabs and their supporters get their information off the the Arab propaganda sites. So they repeat the same lies. It seems to me, you must keep posting the well sourced links (repeatedly) that prove the lies. But apparently YNET policy doesn't agree, and just recently only lets about 1 out 10 posts with links. So I stopped putting the links on the posts so I wouldn't be wasting all my time. Now I cut and paste or just write out how to get to the site and what to look for. I guess there are many who just don't get it. The Arabs are in this for the long haul, they don't care if takes a year, 10 years, or 150 years. They will keep posting the lies (again repeatedly) knowing over time they can win the PR battle because Israel will not fight fire with fire, not even there own newspapers. But Again Thanks for this great movie.
18. To #5: "Settlers" are INSIDE Israel!
Nechama ,   Karnei Shomron, Isra   (03.15.11)
19. I am a settler...
DonnyH ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
Though, as a Jew, raised to be an intellectual, I find it difficult to accept this kind of "tit for tat" retaliation. These reactions tell me that we have stooped closer to their level. Using violence out of want. Although I understand the outrage and the motives for these riots, it simply isn't productive. If anything it destroys any chance of closing the social gap made by the Oslo accords.
20. #18 DonnyH
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
I'll tell you what, next time you're confronted with a dangerous situation, just give up !! Oslo was 18 years ago, the one major gap is that the clause in the PLO Charter, calling for the destruction of Israel is still there, although Arafat promised to remove it It will never be removed, because the true intentions of the enemy is ONLY THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL Next time you see a car or truck about to hit you, just stand still, waiting for it do it Nobody is "Using violence out of want', we're using it out of NECESSITY You may think of yourself as an "intellectual", I think of you as an unrealistic defeatist
21. Let's evaluatewhat happened
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
We know that five innocent people were slaughtered as they slept Jew threw some stones at houses and cars How many of the houses and cars died as a result ??
22. Cowards
LibertyRising ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Can't show your faces? No surprise here.
23. #22 You seem to have yourself in mind
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
Why didn't you supply your actual name, instead of hiding behind an alias in the remote USA ? I'm not surprised; your ilk usually does things that way, from a safe place LibertyRising, my foot, it's more proper if you called yourself CowardinHiding
24. Why weren't the 'stone throwers' arrested?
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (03.15.11)
According to the story, they were merely "dispersed'. Yet, if a Palestinian throws 'stones' at either a Jewish settler or a member of the IDF, they are either arrested and face charges or are physically injured, perhaps both. Doesn't this double standarrd bother any Israelis? Itamar was a crime. Yet this behavior is also criminal. Yet, many seem to approve this behavior and then whine about their perpetual victimhood.
25. #24 Swabjockey
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.15.11)
If you had been there, you could have attempted a Citizen's Arrest, instead of just saying what you think should or shouldn't be done Talk is cheap, you're the proof, all talk, no action
26. Re: # 15
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (03.15.11)
B"H I have no other answer for you Richard that this should be clear and obvious to any and every Jew, as nowhere in Torah it is written "..and vote yourselves a knesset that makes man-made laws for you to respect, instead of My Law." The fact that there are Jews voting for and runing for knesset is wholy absurd and shows how low we are today as a nation. Never we have been this low. We had bad kings, evil Hellenistic leaders before, but the nation had no choice but to obey them. Today we do have a choice and we choose our egos. This is bad, very bad.
