1. Need Mossad terrorist training to be professional terrorist
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (02.13.12)
2. Bad Way To Phrase It
emanon ,   USA   (02.13.12)
Citing a "lack of professionalism" in attacks against civilians because the attacks failed almost sounds like you are disappointed the attacks failed. Call this act for what it is: another instance of arab terrorism against Jews. It is no less reprehensible because it failed: it is the act itself that needs to be condemned, not the failure.
3. Evidence smevidence
cynthia ,   Canada   (02.13.12)
Rarely I have seen a tool as big as the author of this article. Hey, no need for an investigation. Ben-Yishai from his comfortable living room chair has it all figured out. Extra bonus points for castigating Hezbollah as being incompetant (for a failed attack the author has no evidence Hezbollah committed.) Not that they're angels or anything, far from it. But it's still ridiculous to point fingers when Israel has countless enemies who would love to do something like this.
4. #2 - They might be disappointed.
Henry from New York ,   USA   (02.13.12)
More death = more page views and papers sold.
5. are you Psychic Ron?
Yael ,   Canada   (02.13.12)
as horrible as this crime is, it is completely illogical and counter productive to start pointing fingers without proper evidence. A retaliation is only effective when the party that actually committed the crime is targeted and not a convenient third party
6. #3 Cynthia from Canada
Devorah   (02.13.12)
Look at you pointing fingers at an Israeli columnist (among the best, I might add) from the comfort of your easy chair in Canada. Why don't you look up Mr. Ben-Yishai's biography on the net. I'm sure it is light years ahead of anything you have accomplished. In the meantime, oh yes, Cynthia, you have all the answers, don't you? Fact is, you don't have a clue. Let me put it another way: you are dumber than a box of rocks, and your posts are nothing more than fetid brain farts.
7. hezbollalla SUCCESS
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.13.12)
IT took them long years, four out of five failed attempts ,a number of theirs arrested and imprisoned from ARGENTINA to THAILAND ,all the time effort and costs, in order to ''avenge'' the extermination to ALLAH of imad mughanieh 4 years ago .their one ''successful'' crime produced no more than some moderate injuries to one woman and her helper . LOSERS WILL ALWAYS BE LOOSERS .GOD BLESS THE GREAT HEBREW STATE .
8. Lie Lie
Erik ,   TelAviv   (02.13.12)
It cannot be called a terrorist attack with any standard. Terrorists these days are far more sophisticated and advance. The one which took place in Syria was indeed a terrorist act which resulted in dozens of deaths and hundreds being injured and Syrian Military compound extensively damaged. Another False Flag attack to frame Iran and force US for another War on Behalf of Israel which lose nothing while Americans and other countries involved in War lose a lot.
9. He's wrong with one thing.
Vlad   (02.13.12)
This isn't an attempt to avenge Imad Mugniyeh. That was almost five years ago. This is retaliation for the covert war on Iran's nuclear program.
10. #1 - Steven Benassi
Dr. Rosenblumstein ,   USA   (02.13.12)
You must have a terrible life considering that you waste so much time coming to a news website of a country you hate just to spew your garbage. Why don't you find something better to do with your time? Do you have friends? I almost feel sorry for you a little bit.
11. a nice letter to stevie AT 1. HELLO stevie

12. to ROSENBLUMSTEIN AT 10
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.13.12)
his homeboy just dumped him .
13. Iranian nuclear scientists are combatants, not civilians
Stephen in New York   (02.14.12)
Iranian scientists who work on nukes intended to destroy Israel are not civilians. They are combatants designing weapons for another Holocaust.
14. Don't Be Hasty : Failures & Successes
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem   (02.14.12)
When talking about lapses and failures just let your mind flash back to early 1973 when Israeli agents mistakenly shot dead an innocent moroccan waiter in Lillehammer, Norway, while in hot pursuit of a PLO operative . Also, Israeli hit men made a poor job while trying to eliminate the head of HAMAS politburo in Amman ,Jordan, in1997. By contrast , the HQ of the IDF in Tyre, Lebanon, was blown up in November 1982, and again in 1983 , as were the US embassy in Beirut in April, and US marines HQ & French paratroopers' HQ in October the same year . The death toll of those bombings stirred Israel and America to the very depth !
15. Too suspicious...
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (02.14.12)
The diplomat's wife was said to be "moderately injured" but is released from the hospital after three hours? And how does Mr. Ben-Yishai know that it's Hizbullah and not Iranian agents? It smells like a poorly cooked Tchulent, that was made by the Mossad? The same idiots who gave us the Lavon Affair and the failed assasination of Mesh'al. Sadly, Israel is lost in its own propaganda. When time comes, her enemies will swallow it whole.
16. TO LAYLA AT 8 .
UNCLE JOE ,   CONN USA   (02.14.12)
GO tell that to HAARETZ .GOODBYE .
17. 1 don't upset your Jewish psychiatrist
(02.14.12)
18. Car Bomb
nadya ,   Garden Grove, CA.,US   (02.14.12)
So, what your saying is that Israeli terrorists are more professional than Arab terrorists. Something to be proud of??
19. Where is Israeli Intelligence. Sleeping?
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (02.14.12)
Look fellow Zionists, there was a successful terrorism in Mumbai, 2 plus years ago. The Chabad rabbi and his wife were first tortured, then murdered, eviscerated and emasculated. (So much respect for religious clergy by the Muslims). Yet, Obama says the Muslms are not terrorists..only a small fraction of thugs. And we Jews will vote 70% for him next Nov. Wha? Think Santorim or Romeny. Give THEM your shekels..not the liberals who are straddling the foreign policy fences...and ruining our country with their 2t dollar schemes. But if a non-prof group can hit two embassies..what does that tell us about Israeli security? To respond to that Iranian nuke scientist's kiling. Israel says...who cares, I dont have any knowledge of the culprits, instead of: you live by violence, you die by violence AND we dont discuss intelligence operations...successes or failure. Israel still is a backward country in many respects, Mossad notwithstanding. Oh, if Iran/Hez are responsible..hows about a retaliation by 100 F16Is, ASAP. Food for thought. Are you paying attention J St and Peace Now?
20. 8- We think the attack you refer to
Stephen in New York   (02.14.12)
was mounted by Al Queda. (me and the cat)
21. Bloody Criminal Iran/Hezbollah record
Luna ,   Munich, Germany   (02.14.12)
Some of Iran/Hezbollah Islamic crimes wordwide: - Lebanon (1983 Marine-barracks, mass kidnappings / torture 1982-1992) - Israel (massacres via Hezbollah / Islamic Jihad, 1982-2012) - Greece/Italy (TWA hijacking 1985) - Argentina (1992, 1994) - Panama (1994) - S. Arabia (1996, Khobar Towers) - Somalia. [cooperating w/ al-Shabaab]. - Afghanistan [IEDs, training terrorists] - Iraq [IEDs, training terrorists] - France (Paris shopping centers, 1985/6) - USA (hijacking Embassy in Tehran, aiding 9/11 hijackers) - Syria (2011-2012, aiding apartheid-Baath regime, in massacring Syrian civilians). - India, Georgia (embassies attacks, 2012) --- To be a simpleton for a minute: No equivalence to eliminating a "scientist" working on genocidal weapons by those who declared annihialtion of 6,000 Israeli Jews since Dec. 14, 2001 by Rafsanjani that: 'One bomb is enough to destroy all of Israel.'
22. #1 - Tired of Emptying Bed Pans Day After Day?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (02.14.12)
23. All attacks will fail
Stephan ,   Munich, Germany   (02.14.12)
and it wasn't chance. There is no coincidence in this world. All terroristic attacks against Israelis and all others are doomed to fail since they are carried out without God.
24. #23 you are right
sam   (02.14.12)
25. Soft Target Attacks
Yitzchak ,   USA   (02.14.12)
So now while travelling, do we Jews need to remove things which identify as such? Be it a Magen David on a necklace or a kippah, do we travel in fear? Hide and walk in fear like my grandparents did in Poland in the early 1900s? I'm going to SE Asia in December . Should I leave my star off my neck? Wear socks to cover my צה״ל tattoo on my ankle? Curious to hear from my brothers and sisters.
26. #1 so you agree Iranians are terrorists, good!
(02.14.12)
Now the only proof you need is that Mossad are. Well, where is your proof?
27. #25 - Yitzchak
Devorah   (02.14.12)
If I asked you the same question, what would you tell me? Therein lies the answer as to what is best for you. But remember these two things: 1. Never Again 2. prudence over paranoia.
28. terror attacks
sas ,   israel   (02.14.12)
why a failure?????? an israeli was injured?????? now the entire world is on guard?????????? let's talk less.
29. Mossad was the failure...but was it a failure?
Edithann ,   USA   (02.15.12)
How else would Israel maintain it's suicide watch? TATA
