You have no idear. Your mentality is obsolete.
2. Tel Aviv attack
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (08.29.11)
You call him a terrorist. Most people around the world would regard him as a liberation struggler. Remember, the Zionist regime was established by much the same methods, and it may well be dismantled by use of these methods.

4. Ron Ben-Yishai,
Salma ,   Palestine   (08.29.11)
For God's sake, please don't tell me that that you want to say that "Israeli" streets promote love and tolerance for all individuals, no matter what their religion may be. Behave the same way as you would in the real world. treat people as if you were talking to them face-to-face and show them the same respect you expect them to show you. we don't hate Jews because they are Jews. you hate Palestinians because they are Palestinians.
5. As long as there is occupation of other peoples' lands
Cynic #2   (08.29.11)
there will be violence and terrorism. for Heaven's sake END THE OCCUPATION.
6. @Salma
PaulZion ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
You are wrong. We hate Palestinians because they are murderers, barbarians who rip two wayward reservists to death with their bare hands and the show off their bloody hands to a cheering mob of thousands, baby killers and people who protect and condone them and the murder of innocent civilians. However, you DO hate Jews because they are Jews. Otherwise, why did your "esteemed" President condone the murder of Leon Klinghoffer on the Achille Lauro, an AMERICAN citizen, but a Jew? Why were ALL the Jews on the Lufthansa flight in Entebbe segregated and held hostage? Just two examples off the top of my head. Stop lying and show your true, ugly face.

Linichka ,   Gdynia, Poland   (08.29.11)
No Israelis I know hate Palestinians. We just hate the terrorists. Also, those of you too stupid to even try extricating yourselves from that sickening 7th century mob mentality.
8. THANK YOU "SIGMUND FREUD"
David ,   NJUSA   (08.29.11)
Your analysis adds nothing.
9. #5 I agree end the occupation
Jrodstein ,   Basalt, Colorado   (08.29.11)
get the arabs out of Israel, send them back to Jordan, Saudi and Egypt where the originated from!
10. Hypocrite
Israeli   (08.29.11)
That's what you people said about Gaza. We left, the terrorists only got stronger and bolder. Now what? Should we blindly do the same about Judea and Samaria? Not to mention the fact that you hypocrites have no problem whatsoever with the Arab occupation of Israel, nor with the murder of Israeli citizens.
11. Are you for real?
(08.29.11)
Check your histories again. Did we attack teenagers standing outside night clubs? Really?
12. No, we don't
(08.29.11)
We hate Arabs because they hate us and want to kill us, and in fact teach their children that we are vermin to be slaughtered. We have every right to defend ourselves, and you hypocrites forget that it was your barbaric actions that led to your present situation.
13. Monstrous
(08.29.11)
You're talking about teenagers waiting outside a night club, to dance and have fun. You support their murder, they did nothing to you and you support their murder. Monstrous.
14. The BBC
Sam M ,   UK   (08.29.11)
According to the BBC news website the mouth piece of the British establishment rockets and mortars are fired from gaza by 'palestinian 'militants'. A wonderful example of moral equivalence. I wonder if this cowardly attack will be attributed by the BBC (if they even bother to report it) to terriorists? Somehow i doubt it.
15. 'occupation of other peoples' lands'
Sam M ,   UK   (08.29.11)
This isn't an occupation of 'other peoples' lands'. This is the homeland of the Jewish people. Go and study some history you ignoramus! Your comments (predictably supported by no evidence) just makes you sound very stupid.
16. policy failure
Dan ,   Jerusalem   (08.29.11)
The main question remains why the police did not use their firearms to subdue the terrorist. They might have prevented some of the injuries. The official policy of restraint is a failure and we can expect further attacks as the terrorists are emboldened by this perceived weakness. Ahronovitch tries to spin the failure by saying the police prevented a greater tragedy.
17. You will never have peace until these murderers are sent hom
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (08.29.11)
e to Jordan the true palestinian state. They have no right to an inch of Jewish soil.
18. 5* cynic read real history!
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (08.29.11)
the arabs flooded the pre Jewish state as the Jews set up farms, businesses for employment and the arabs took advantage of that because the arabs do NOT look after their own people. The Jews were foolish for giving employment to these underprivileged people, the arabs should have taken care of the arab people not the Jews, as look where it got them. Arabs have illegally usurped Israel and the British who know the truth helped them. The TRUTH WILL COME OUT. Read HISTORY and that goes for everybody else who commented their imbecilic statements above with exception to the programmed salmas of the world - their is no hope for the likes of that one.
19.  I find it ironic that people who give tree hugs to each
Diana ,   UK   (08.29.11)
other would not even spit on a Jewish Israeli being subject to terror attacks.
20. THERE IS NO JUSTIFICATION FOR STABING 8 TEENS !!!!
Adam ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
Last night, Palestinian TERRORIST from Nablus stole cab in TLV, ran over 2 Israeli police men & stabbed 8 teens!!!
21. speedy recovery to all the injured children an cops!!!

22. the PALESTINIAN TERROR strikes again!

Eric.... ,   Israel..   (08.29.11)
no Palestine.Read the history books,read the bible if you want too.But there is terrorism that is for sure.
25. Flash..Op Ed
Mark ,   USA   (08.29.11)
For those brain-dead libs and leftists who want to pin the cause of terror on the "occupation" and other "at home" things I submit that it's the gov't's failure to act decisively on behalf of its people that is inviting the terror. And it's only the beginning baby. Keep writing your Op Eds while the terror gets worse.
26. Absolutely NO CHANCE for peace until....
100% SURE ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
Arab culture has = # years historical truth and peace education to their children as they have had lie, hate and intifada "education". Unless their is an Arab leader willing and able to do this... it ain't gonna happen.
27. "Palestinians" are mortal foes. Not "peace partners".
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.29.11)
What do "Palestinians" have to do to prove they want to mass murder us? They say they want to mass murder us every day on PA TV. All their covenants say say. So does their school texts, billboards, public squares and their entire society. If it can be called a society. "Palestinians" make no effort whatsoever even to hide their genocidal intent. In fact, they shout it out proudly from the rooftops. It's way past time for Israel to end the sick charade. "Palestinians" are mortal foes. Not "peace partners".
28. Official incitement shows Arabs not interested in peace!
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALUA   (08.29.11)
They are poisoning the minds of future generations
29. Irgun primarily targeted military,Arab terorists are gutless
PETER SM ,   Australia   (08.29.11)
