1. Thank you Giulio Meotti - Excellent article!
Israeli 2   (09.18.11)
2. Don't you really know
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (09.18.11)
why they hate you? Check what happened in Lydda a and you'll see
3. Thanks you, Meotti
Abraham ,   TA   (09.18.11)
I hope you received your check.
4. Rare words from a special writer
Nadin   (09.18.11)
5. Isreal needs
Jeff ,   Ann Arbor, USA   (09.18.11)
The DEATH penalty. These killers are a classic example and the reason for the death penalty. They simply do not deserve to waste any oxygen. If you had the death penalty, yo would not have Gilad Shalit. Good luck
6. When in Rome do as the Romans do
mommy troll   (09.18.11)
Do to them what they would have done if their babies got murdered and more. Ask them if you do not know. They expect it. If you do not do it they will not comprehend it and consider it a ticket to another savagery. The issue of coping with the problem is what this article does not address. Instead it is truckload of cognitive dissonance against the savagery, which is not a new phenomena. If they have not been brought in humanistic tradition, it is not their fault, it is how it is. Stop crying. Deal with it in the best possible way.
7. #2 Lydda...
Takan ,   Elat Israel   (09.18.11)
What happened in Lydda? Jews were kicked out by the Romans then Romans got kicked out by the Arabs then Jews kicked out the Arabs in 1948. In 1948, according to the UN partition plan, Lydda was to be on the Arab side of Palestine. Jews agreed but Arabs said no and waged a war of anihilation against the Jews (just because they were Jews). 250 Arabs were killed in Lydda during the war (Assad kills more Arabs in peace time than Israel in war time). After the war, Arabs were gathered in Lydda and sent to walk to an Arab country. Another 300 died during that 3 days walk. Lydda was then repopulated by Jewish refugees that were forcefully expelled from the Arab countries they were born in (Marocco, Tunisia, Ethiopia...). Lydda today is named LOD and is the site of the Ben Gurion airport (20kms south of Tel Aviv). So you are offended by some 500 deaths in war time but the anihilation wish of 5 Arab nations against the nascent Jewish state of Israel seems normal to you. So I ask you Jarda, why did they hate us before Lydda? Why did they hate us before the west bank "occupation" or the Jerusalem liberation? Why did Arabs hate Jews in 1945 and 1936 and 1929 before Israel was even born? Is it because of the poor education they receive both at home and at school? Is it genetics that made Arabs so violently intolerant?
8. they hate humanity
Eli   (09.18.11)
As Meotti miracously explains, they hate all humanity. Such a thirst of blood
9. meotti unbiased
Giulia ,   Firenze   (09.18.11)
I am afraid Meotti is a catholic italian journalist and neither a jew or an israeli. This killer sucks, and many like him. Animalesque behavior, like the nazis.
10. Thank You for ackowledging the truth, as a Journalist that
Observer ,   World   (09.18.11)
is brave of you
11. Will he smile if hes castrated?
Terry ,   Wales   (09.18.11)
12. to #2 Lyda was before this killer father
ghostq   (09.18.11)
was born, that means they r actually brain wash hatred to more than one generation, and that is distorted to the max.
13. bravo, this writer know the truth.

14. Ahbal
Marty ,   La   (09.18.11)
Are you saying that its ok to murder an whole family in this way? Please the arabs are the ones who started the massacres anyway so you can ask the Israelis why they had hate for the arabs just check out the hebron massacre 1929.
15. Execute him,
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (09.18.11)
wrap him in pig's skin, take pictures of it for his family and burry him at the unknow location.
16. 5 Life Sentences for Hakim Awad
Yehoshua ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.18.11)
The chance he will serve out his life in jail is nil. If the evil Samir Kuntar could be released, anything is possible. In the eyes of these murderers, Israel has lost all its deterrence with the endless prisoner releases, including those with "blood on their hands."
17. Freedom fighter smiles while cutting babys throat
(09.18.11)
We should all take stock of this. Have no illusions of the enemy. They are sick. Of course in a normal persons mind there is ZERO justification for committing such a crime.
18. There's not talk about hating-its a monstruous behavior
zonistone ,   jerusalem   (09.18.11)
Well-what we can wait from someone like them?
19. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.18.11)
Would you like to know why we hate them? Check the history of all of the suicide bombings, the stabbings, and all the sordid rest. That's why we hate them. Why on earth would I care why they hate us? Seems to me it takes quite a monster to slit the throats of a sleeping family. If you do not have a problem with that, then you are one sick puppy in desperate need of help.
20. Giulio you represent the redemption of all journalists!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (09.18.11)
I follow your articles closly, and it is so refreshing to see that there is out there in beautiful Itay an honest journalist who is not scared to speak the truth about the Middle East problem. God bless you! If you are ever in Canada (Montreal) it would be my honor to meet you and be your host. Here is my e-mail savmoy@hotmail.com.
21. #2 - You don't understand what war is!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (09.18.11)
What happened in Lydda (Lod today) is the result of the 1948 war. If Arabs had accepted the UN division of Palestine into two countries in 1947 none of that would have happened. But no, the Arabs decided to throw the Jews into the sea. And the Jews defended themselves. Lydda was a strategic town close to Tel Aviv. The Israeli army had no choice but win that town, otherwise there would have been a major obstacle to success in that war. So, the loss of Lydda by the Arabs is the consequence of Arabs wanting to decimate the Jews in the 1948 war. But of course antisemites like yourself prefer to look at what happened only through the eyes of the Arabs. But believe me you convince only the Jew haters!
22. "moderate" p.a. regards murderer as a political prisoner
dante ,   uk   (09.18.11)
the "moderate" p.a. will support his family and demand his release and it will honour him by naming streets after him, etc. but the p.a. will be accepted as "moderate" and Israel will be pressured to make concessions to it.
23. Capital punishment
Francisco ,   Bet Keshet   (09.18.11)
We should introduce capital punishment and kill these bastards. When i came to Israel i used to think about peace and peacefull coexistents. Now i only want justice. In other parts of the world he would be death, we should not tolerate assassins anymore. If they fire a rocket, we blow a neighborhood, if they fire ten rockets we erase Gaza and twenty we erase west bank. Its time to stop this hypocracy of fairness, they will use any chance to kill more jews if we do not act strong.
24. Shoot him in the head.
(09.18.11)
Even that is more than he deserves.
25. He'll lose the smile soon enough
R ,   Israel   (09.18.11)
The prison routine will wipe the smile off of his face. Hopefully he will rot there so that he does not bring any little monsters into the world.
26. #2...
mattan ,   merritt island, usa   (09.18.11)
sore losers if you ask me. the hate existed before this. you look at history one sided. Lydda happened in 1948, during a war started by the Arabs to wipe out the Jewish nation. you might want to check out the hebron massacre of 1929. and the countless atrocities committed by arabs against the Jews after that. And I doubt that is why that animal murdered a whole family. He did as he was taught. His parents, his imam, his community, created this animal, and they should all be held accountable,
27. @2 Jarda...Diary of a psycopath...Part 1
rob ,   Orangevale Ca. USA   (09.18.11)
Is that why Jarda? Lydda? Thats why this scumbag slit the throats of children and an infant? Im sure the adult Fogels weren't even born in 48' when Lydda was taken. He wont be laughing for long. You seem to understand the vile mind very well Jarda, is it because you secretly wish you had the balls to slit children's throats? It takes a demented mind Jarda, and it appears you are sympathetic with the murderer, which speaks volumes of your sick personality. This vile human knows nothing of Lydda, he is just satanic, a product of his environment, as are all Arab terrorists. The world is full of scum Jarda, today you are it's mouthpiece. Why not join the other side for awhile and see thru the hatred you support from thousands of miles away. The bell tolls for thee Jarda. Shalom Israel, Rob
28. Beware israel!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (09.18.11)
I am quite sure Hamas will soon add this monster to the list of monsters to be released in exchange for Shalit. This should NEVER be accepted. I feel for Shalit's fate, but a country must put its security first. This non-repenting monster would start all over again if he were to be released. He needs to rot in jail until his death!

Finally someone who wrote the truth about an explosion of pure hatred in a tiny Jewish town
