Hello Michael, He also served in the IDF.
62. #56; Michael, Learn to READ
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.04.11)
What the actor himself stated in the article and I quote: "It makes them crazy that a man who is half-Jewish is at the head of one of the most important projects in the Palestinian West Bank" So it was the Pals that thought of him as Jewish as well, according to his own words, "it made them crazy". So like here in the USA if your half black, your black, not white. If your half Jewish, your Jewish not Arab in the disputed territories. Not only did the Arabs call him a Jew without his permission, but that is part of reason they killed him to too. So save the semantics, how trivial.
63. Masked Gunmen = Hamas
emanon ,   USA   (04.04.11)
It is their gangsta style trademark.
64. To CJ #3... How Dare you
Antwan Saca ,   Bethlhem oPt   (04.04.11)
How dare you to abuse his death to spread your filthy polarizing statements, Am a Palestinian Christian and trust me we know how to deal with Arabs and Non- Arabs, but maybe you would care to respect his death and not abuse it in such poisoning words, i even doubt that you are Jewish, Am defiantly sure you are not !!
65. Arabs do have great sense of humor!
Moshe ,   Kiriat Haim, Israel   (04.05.11)
As Salam Fiads' reaction to this another murder, commited by his people, shows: That it was "a gross violation of humane values and against the morals of our people". It was really long time since I had such great laugh!
66. Bridging the gorges of hatred - Yehi Zikhro Baruch
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (04.05.11)
Anyone who saw "Arna's children" a prize winning documetary directed by and occasionally showing Juliano - anyone with a heart that is- could not but have been moved by it. Whoever killed him was heartless. His memory and life deserve our prayers and to his family wishes of a Long Life.
67. Salma if the 99% of the muslims were love peace
Daniela   (04.05.11)
today we could live in peace, but they don't, open your eyes, Salma, moslims don't like peace, they like to be in war with the hated jews. you Salma don't like the jews, you don't like Israel, you still write it " " you have to change, until you don't change your attitude towards us, there won't be peace in this country. all depends on you. think about it
68. Prayers
Adam Neira ,   Melb, Australia   (04.05.11)
Prayers for Juliano Mer-Khamis.
69. My Deepest Condolences to His Death
Al Mujahid   (04.05.11)
I am a Muslim, but I condemn the murder. He is a good guest, he must be treated and respected very well. Unfortunately, Ynet did not elaborate what the reasons are stated in the leaflets for threatening him. By providing the readers with the reasons, the news would be objective and comprehensive.
70. #27 - nice argument, except for....
William ,   Israel   (04.05.11)
just a few Arabs sliced the Itamar family in their sleep, and just a few Arabs shot a Jewish family, one of them pregnant, at point blank range. Just a few Arabs celebrated such deaths by handing out candy. Just a few Arabs called such killings justified and asked for more to happen tomorrow. Just a few Arabs.... All it takes is a "just a few" to get things started and soon "just a few" adds up to "plenty" - so, it would be suiting to blame ALL "Palestinians" especially since those who didn't "pull the trigger" supported those wo did.
71. to Salma 6
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (04.05.11)
You truly have no shame-it's your people that killed him-yes, the killers are cowards and animals that you support.AND still lying that you live in "Palestine".Your whole life is a lie-no wonder every one hates you -your propaganda is not even intelligent.
72. Salma of Palestine=Sheryl of East London subs
mea   (04.05.11)
Particularly amusing this week: Sheryl's, oops, "Salmas" attempts to start writing with what she thinks is an Arab cadence and lingo.
73. 23. Salma.
(04.05.11)
You make me so sad. You live in denial of the truth. You are the coward for not looking inward and accepting that it is YOUR people who stand in the way of peace...not Jews...not Israelis. We just aren't willing to lay down and die for your peace, that STILL would not come. Fix the Arab Muslim culture. Deal with the TRUTH not revisionist history that makes you feel good about yourselves. It is only through HONEST introspection and change that real PEACE will EVER happen. Your problem is not US and OURS, it's YOU and YOURS.
74. 24. Stop the ridiculasness
(04.05.11)
Jews did not kill this man and you know it.
75. @Bloodyscot #21
Mikey ,   SomeWhere OverHere   (04.05.11)
Although he retained his Israeli citizenship and both his parents were Israeli citizens (and he even did a stint in the IDF); and although he was fully Jewish by Jewish religious law, he chose not to identify as Israeli for most of his life life but described himself as "Palestinian". Silly of him, but it was his choice. He was a good actor though and condolences to his family.
76. I am sorry to hear it.
noa ,   israel   (04.05.11)
77. i wonder how the left wingers will
gays4israel ,   toronto   (04.05.11)
rationalize this one. viva israel
78. My heart is bleeding tears for this great man.
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.05.11)
to Juliano and his family, forgive us only if you can .
79. How many Salma(s) there are on this talkback ?
Yossef   (04.05.11)
80. Palestinian self-determination, the right to murder critics
Noam ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (04.05.11)
Mer-Khamis was as pro-Palestinian, bleeding heart leftist as human possible, yet his liberalism contradicted the backward, anti-free though culture that conservative Palestinians uphold. Even if the murderers don't representing mainstream Palestinian thinking (regarding the murder of theater teachers, not Israeli civilians) the killers are not marginal figures in Palestinian society and it is doutbful the PA or influential opinion-makers or religious leaders will dare challenge them
81. Juliano Mer-Khamis
Daniel Dworsky ,   Atlit, Israel   (04.05.11)
An unfair and terrible loss to the kind of Israel and Palestine we hope to become. The kind of Palestine and Israel where all of us are free from hatred persecution and terrible loss.
82. Death penalty
Tarik Hussein ,   Jacksonville   (04.30.11)
All true friends of Palestinian equal rights demand the death penalty, nothing less, for Juliano's murderers. We love him and his family and both sides. We are so sad and angry. Extremism is a cancer in our midst, and an example must be made to extirpate it.
83. To Tahl
Tarik Hussein ,   Jacksonville   (04.30.11)
Tahl, we also condemn the murder of innocent children in the family of five Jews. But try to compare the adults who died in these two cases. Juliano fought for equality and understanding between our peoples. The settler family fought to dispossess Palestinians of their land and water to expand Israel as a Jews-only state. That's still no justification of killing innocent children, and we need to fight extremists on BOTH sides.
