1. Standard Palestinian behavior - sickening
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.17.11)
This is just more of the same of what the Palestinians claim is their "legitimate right to resist the occupation." It is not legitimate, it is a crime. It is not resistance, it is the murder or innocent children. The Palestinians continue to spit in the face of international law, and the world simply licks up the spittle and pretends that the Palestinians are "legitimate". Sickening.
2. terrorists
maya ,   australia   (04.17.11)
The father was a terrorist, the uncle was a terrorist.... I personally hold the mother responsible. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. She allowed hate to be preached in her home. These women have to stop being brood mares for terrorists and accept their responsibilty for raising animals. When will we see women like her in jail for brainwashing innocent children. She should be in prison for crimes against chilren, the Fogels and her own.
3. Arabs will deny everything
Mike ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (04.17.11)
They will deny the most henious crimes even when faced with hard evidence. They are the worst.
4. I am so proud of IDF
Yossef   (04.17.11)
5. Let me guess
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.17.11)
They're not Thai! Lock them up and throw away the key. What normal person can slit the throat of a four month old baby? These are not people ..... they are animals, meaning no disrespect to animals.
6. They said- We do not regret
M ,   EU   (04.17.11)
It was coerced too?
7. Words from Awad's mothers sounds like that from the Mayor
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
notice how the mother's words are very close, if not verbatim, to those of Awata's mayor. Looks like the entire town has worked together to push the cover story and support these killings. Why not suffer a "collective punishment" then if they collectively try to cover up the crime?
8. Give it a rest, Mamma Awad
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
Your family already has a long history of violence including an attack on the same settlement, in much the same manner, back in 2002. Your family are members of PFLP and are well-known to the IDF and PA which arrested them almost a decade ago.
9. "Why weren't the culprits' identities revealed right away?
William ,   Israel   (04.17.11)
It's called an "investigation", dumbass. It's how you get to the real criminals and exact justice properly....not lynches and arrests based on mere rumors and racist ideology in your culture.
10. The evil has a name - Awad
Eli ,   Yerushalayim   (04.17.11)
When I look at today's Ynet news keeps popping up always on the name - Awad. Is this a collective term for evil? Is that all one and the same family? http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4058186,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4057997,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4057929,00.html
11. A Russian proverb.
Jules   (04.18.11)
An aspen can't produce oranges.
12. Remember NOT All in the Arab Villiage were involved BUT
John Phee ,   Sydney, AUSTRALIA   (04.18.11)
I hope that the Israelis just remember that mot all in this Arab village, would have been involved & supported this evil crime. But it is evident that their is a cover up going on. All those that knowing get involved in covering up are guilty of a crime. EXPEL THEM OUT OF THE TERRITORIES. By the way I still see noting from the NGO's about this. Fascinating & revealing. The NGO's should be expelled as well
13. The Arabs can never take responsiblity
Dan Kelso   (04.18.11)
Only the left tried to deny their crimes in Itamar by trying this lame foreigners did it. When will the left realize Israel is dealing with murderers. Palmedawatch has brilliantly documented the murderous aims of the Palestinians.
14. Purity of arms?
Smith ,   TA, Israel   (04.18.11)
The entire international press is filled with pictures of completely ransacked homes, arbitrary arrests, living rooms defecated in and reports of beatings and pillaging in Awarta. Use the internet people. In Israel there's a military censor and he doesn't want you to know somethings. Although I do think those two teens probably did commit the murder; doesn't justify ransacking an entire village which WILL cast doubt on their guilt
15. "Why weren't the culprits identities revealed in first days?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (04.18.11)
Maybe because some of the villagers were covering for them, others in full "see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" mode. And yes, it seems these two suspects come from bad seed. That's no excuse of course. And how curious that PA security and police were unable/unwilling to solve this case. And yet some in authority want to "outsource" Israel's security to others, whether the PA, or UN, or NATO, or even the US. Clearly Israel can rely only on its own resources.
16. DNA evidence...
faruq   (04.18.11)
17. #2 Well said
Jason, ,   UK, London   (04.18.11)
You are right this is a murder caused by a mother poisoning their innocent minds to act like cannibals. It has to shown in all channels of media world how mother raises her child with strong burning desire of avenges in their minds.
19. Abba and gangsters INC.
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (04.18.11)
Mohamed Abba, is it clear now that the killer was a pelestinian? You were asking before. Now pack your bag and go back to your country Jordan (you are a citizen with passport holding in Jordan). Do you have any other question regarding the origen of the killers?
20. #14 - the village was hiding their guilt
William ,   Israel   (04.18.11)
and that more than validates "collective punishment" when involved in collective guilt. "Purity of arms" means they didn't go in, shoot up the damn place, execute people against the wall, and beat the living daylights out of these two scum when they found them. You know, the way Arabs seems to have been doing across the Middle East for the past 2 months. I can live with pictures of arbitrary arrests (needed for questioning) and ransacked homes (perfect for hiding individuals and/or crime weapons). But the reports of beatings and pillaging? Well, right now they are just "reports" - show me the evidence of that, and not just "claims". Awarta residents also claimed a Thai worker did this and had a full alibi already prepared which assassinated the character of the Fogels (after they were physically assassinated). Seems like Awarta worked hard to cover up this one. They should count their blessings they aren't in Syria, Libya, or Gaza.
21. #12 - don't worry, you'll hear from NGOs
William ,   Israel   (04.18.11)
They, of course, will produce only a choice selection of photos (some probably not even current) and will claim just the existence of Itamar drives Arabs to insanity. ACRI and B'tselem will surely produce a lawyer to defend these two scum and claim they were framed.
22. #2, #17 - this is the type of mother who
William ,   Israel   (04.18.11)
if her kid was killed blowing up a Jew, would announce "I only wish I had more sons to give up as martyrs!"
23. mama animal. your pig son is a baby killer
David ,   Haifa Israel   (04.18.11)
Someone please tell us one good thing the islam world has given us since algebra. Murder, death, baby killers do not count. Animals!!!
24. If he talks & butchers like a terrorist, he is a terrorist!
(04.18.11)
Why ain't I surprised to discover that these murderous hyenas are part of terrorist families! Thank God they weren't arrested by the "palestinian" police! Pity they didn't resist arrest! They can be thankful for being apprehended by Israeli Army which did not kill them on sight. The Fogels and their babies were't so lucky.
25. Their alibi is their terrorist families claims. GREAT!
(04.18.11)
26. #16, yes, there IS DNA evidence. Next?
(04.18.11)
27. #14 Purity of heart and soul?
(04.18.11)
Ah, yes, your source is the "entire international press" publishing re-gurgitated photos from 10 years ago, no doubt staged by Paliwood. When did you have the time to read the "entire international press" Gimme a break "Smith" from "TA, Israel" (yeah, sure! that's really subtle disinformation) I haven't decided yet if you are just plain stupid, a lying scum, or both. You are not pure in any sense "Smith". Not even in your brains.
28. #12 I hope the Arabs have noble thoughts too...
(04.18.11)
... just before slitting the throats of little sleeping babies! Covering up a crime makes you an accomplice. Nurturing terror and raising terrorists makes you a terrorist too. That means that the village is as guilty as the terrorists who did it, even if it didn't hold the knife.
29. Hey, Awad clan: KUL KALB BIJ YOMMO!
(04.18.11)
Leave Israel until it's not too late!
30. The entire village was covering up for these butchers
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (04.18.11)
So yes, they all deserved to have their houses tossed searching for evidence. Of course there was a warrant.
