Why don't you go there and help them? Being the "so called" ex marine that you are I'm sure they would be delighted to have you. Knowing what sort of person YOU are we could probably get the U.S. citizens on this board to take up a collection to send you there.
32. #27 If He's Ex-Marine, I'm Santa Claus
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (04.17.11)
33. Jeff #27: Ex-Marine?
Steve   (04.17.11)
That you are a self-described ex-Marine is (in your own words) "beyond sickening." Your defense of evil and evil-doers constitutes a stain on an othewise fine branch of the U.S. military.
34. Don't be fooled by their baby faces
American Sabrah   (04.17.11)
I agree with some of the readers comments. There are plenty of minors (under the age of 21) who are complicit in these terrorist activities. The latest would be suicide bomber in Afghanistan (correct me if I'm wrong) was only 14.They are nurtured from the day of conception to hate and kill as many Jews as possible. Children are just as culpable as adults and those who commit heinous crimes like butchering a family should be tried as adults. "The Devil takes many forms and yet it is still the Devil".
35. Coerced, don't make me laugh
Richie ,   Dublin, Ireland   (04.17.11)
And the gun and knives used in the murders which the family members tried to hide? Do these neighbours think coercion is also a magic trick that makes the weapons used appear? And if they say these are only kids (18 and 19) then what age is the cut off point when they become adult? Just so we know that next time Hamas in Gaza says so many children were killed they could actually be talking about 18 and 19 year olds.
36. Gee - Awarta residents hid the killers - surprise
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
and the world condemned the IDF for their methods to find them - without torture or killings. Just proves how deep in "Palestinian" psyche hatred and dehumanization exists.
37. They would love to be martyrs
ambrosine shitrit ,   london   (04.17.11)
What do we do now? Death penalty? Prison? How hard it will be for Israel to consider the next step
38. #28 Yusef
Eli ,   Yerushalayim   (04.17.11)
Yes, we call the terrorists from 9/11 also terrorists.
39. #2 - they've raised the age of adulthood in PA
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
Now the "Palestinians" can cry to the UN that Israel kills children - 17-19 year olds who carry knives and guns.
40. #27 - so join ISM and come "protest"
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
if you dare.
41. #27 Jeff
Shmuel ,   USA   (04.17.11)
As a current naval Officer in the Reserves who is attached to a Marine Regiement and who has a father and grandfather who used to be Marines, a Marine who is retired or has been discharged never says he is an ex, they always refer to themselves as former Marines. You are a liar - Jeffrey. Caught ya!!
42. They are just Kids?
Lolek ,   Canada   (04.17.11)
The Palestinians have devoted their energy and resources to the destruction of Israel. The cost is: neglect of infrastructure, lack of education, poor neutrition, creation of a culture of hate, glorification of killing and violence. The result is a a collective developmental delay of its population. Adults are indeed intellectually and developmentally like children. The Palestinians should indeed be shocked at what they have created i.e. childlike adults whose only goal is to kill the infidel and become shahids. Is it too late for the Palestinians to stop the permanent intellectual regression of their society?
43. They are stunned the killers were caught I guess
Lednah ,   Europe   (04.17.11)
44. Revenge for Price Tag attacks
Joseph   (04.17.11)
Meanwhile, Israel continues to encourage price tag attacks by Jewish settlers against Palestinians throughout the West Bank. Israel has not arrested or punished a single settler for those heinous attacks. Maybe that is what drove these teens to commit this act?
45. This is simply the true face of Palestinian culture
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.17.11)
It's what they tell themselves every day. It's what they teach their children. It's what gets them elected. It's nothing new. It's simply the Palestinian culture, which is like much of other "Arab" culture and is totally opposite to civilized society and the concept of universal human rights. It's ugly too, by the way.
46. ages
Wout ,   Canada   (04.17.11)
Interesting. Men of 18 and 19 are children, but girls of 9 are adult women.
47. Funny how
maya ,   australia   (04.17.11)
Grown men are called kids in Awarta, but a twelve year old girl is called a wife.
48. They are Palestinian; therefore they are guilty
Leon ,   Ottawa, Canada   (04.17.11)
Israel will find evidence or create it to find these people guilty.
49. Kuntar was 16 when he killed a child!

50. Jeff #27
BRL ,   USA   (04.17.11)
Are you trying to compare this to what happened in Mei Lai ?
51. 'They're just kids'
RC ,   USA   (04.17.11)
They let some of their Islamic religious leaders teach their children hatred towards the Yahuwdim and the Christians, then try to show surprise and confusion to the rest of the world when their children turn out to be terrorists, but their actions betray them when they name streets after the terrorists and hand out candy in their honor. Hateful, deranged, brutish and true liars, and worse; they keep spreading the hate around the world like a resistant virus.
52. to those who live by the sword:
expat ,   from the old world   (04.17.11)
this is the hatred you reap. Facts: Awarta, and the other villages in the area, have lost from 1/3 to 2/3 of their land to Itamar and other Israeli settlements (which, recall: are ILLEGAL under international law.) Dozens (yes, dozens) of unarmed locals have been killed by soldiers or settlers during these years. Including 2 teenagers in Awarta last year, remember? And do you recall the "Beita incident"? With zero arrests and zero punishment as a result. What legal options do the local Palestinians have? Basically none. With those facts I am surprised that there is not more terrorism.
53. #27 ex-punk
David ,   America   (04.17.11)
You wouldn't know a Marine if one bit you on your backside. You would do the world a favor if you went and joined those you love so much. That way when they are judged for their hatred you will be judged with them.
54. Fogel murders denial
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana   (04.17.11)
People who deny the murderers' guilt would commit the murder if they had a chance.
55. #48 Murderers guilty of heinous crime
Cynthia ,   USA   (04.17.11)
They confessed and their family members covered up for them. Expect more arrests. Israel needs to also go after the Zoabis of Israel who instigate these crimes.
56. #48 #52 Which came first?
Joel ,   We Are All Sderot   (04.17.11)
Don't start playing the stupid blame game, because you are going to loose. The Palestinians or whatever they are called never laid any claims to the land before 1947, and in 1967 after a humiliating defeat, the Arabs all of a sudden invented the concept of a Palestinian nation and in the process duped ignoramuses like you two. This is Jewish land and whether the so called local arabs who squatted on it , continue to live here is up to them. Like it or lump it. But if they lift a hand it will be chopped off.
57. leon
Frank Mazuca ,   Lakeland Florida   (04.17.11)
Those peace lovign Palestinian Arabs admitted to killing the Fogel family. Eh? What more proof do you need?
58. Islamists, Marxists, they are all butchers
Golan ,   Modiin   (04.17.11)
what is the difference between an Islamist terrorist and a Marxist terrorist? The color of the bandana.
59. re#56
Cali Cal ,   Los Angeles, USA   (04.17.11)
Jews are squatters as well on these lands, you're descended from Egyptian slaves who came from? Oh wait let me guess, Egypt. Just because you squatted the land first does not make you the owners of anything, just the current occupiers. The Arabs have every right to resquat the land as well, as they done so in the past. The death and killing is not going to stop until a Palestinian state is declared and Jews no this but they keep trying to hold on to the Arabs because it seems that they like death. Lets be honest here, Jews never had any intention of coexisting with Arabs as equals in Palestine, you wanted the whole cake as well, well now you have it and it brings you hell, time to slice off a piece of that cake and give it to the Palis before its too late. You have no more friends in the region.
60. Blame the evil hate on the Koran!
David ,   USA   (04.17.11)
The biggest problem is their prophet & the Koran teaches hate, lies, "and kill the infidels, by any means necessary." The Koran has to be revamped in order for Islam to be changed to a truly peaceful religion. The whole Arab world is in "flames". They do not even realize what hate is spewed in this so called "Holy Book". Look at who their shining heroes are, Sadam, Ghadaffi, Ahmadinejead, Erdogan, Assad,Abbas, Fayaad -- all filled with hate for the Jews. They only know "hate" and wreaking havoc . It is what they learn they day they are born, parading their children with suicide vests. That tells a lot about this so-called religion of "peace."
