31. #20, Indeed good news but I am sure that ....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (06.28.12)
the New York Times and other anti-Israel newspapers in the USA will climb on the bandwagon of politically correct Israel bashing while ignoring the atrocities committed every day in the Arab/Muslim World. The problem with commenting on YnetNews is that it is basically preaching to choir and, being in English, has not effect on the political world in Israel. On the good side, well, venting makes us feel better.
32. Moslem children
Aisha2 ,   New York, NY   (06.28.12)
Moslem parents instruct their children that it is good and fitting to be serial killers. Moslem schools teach children the same lesson. Serial killers are never rehabilitated. They just graduate to more abhorrent killing. There are not enough jails and insane asylums in the world to house these murderers. Let us make the penalty for terrorism a felony punishable by execution.

No one knows why the UK is at war with Afghanistan, not even the British people. The invasion is certainly nothing to with Israel. Some cynics say it has to do with the British trying to seize Afghan mineral wealth or to get a cut of the poppy crop profits. The British recently admitted that no more than 1/3 of their drone attacks hit "targets" (BBC talk for poorly armed Afghan patriots fighting the British occupation) along with collateral damage (Afghan civilians). In the remaining 2/3s of attacks, the UK hits civilians targets.
34. Hatred
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.28.12)
As one of the few Brits who responds to Ynet talkbacks I think a fee should be forthcoming for allowing you to purge yourselves of your bile and indignation. You did, however, forget to mention that the UK is also responsible for climate chang, earthquakes and tsunamis. A kind of World Anglo Conspiracy, you might say. You see, I am well aware of the crimes and misdeeds of British imperialism, including anti -Semitic and anti-Zionist policies and actions. They are well-documented and I am sure that future historians will reveal more. However, I am sure you are not seriously arguing that this excuses Israel from examining its own actions - or perhaps it does, because it is self evident that Israel can do no wrong, especially when it come to the treatment of others.
35. john is full of bull #27
aaron ,   sweden   (06.28.12)
the war in afghanistan has nothing to do with israel nor does the war in Iraq. Nice try blaming israel for all the worlds problems.
36. Who cares about what the British say.
robert renders ,   belgium   (06.28.12)
37. Old news been going on for years.
Jim   (06.28.12)
38. John Bull....appropriate name
Yaron ,   USA   (06.28.12)
Your comments indicate your name is appropriately assigned. To trivialize this issue as you did does not do the justice necessary to its resolution. The reality that you, and/or the Brits, do not get is no one cares what the hypocritical, ass kissing, pretentious, and condescending a-holes have to say anymore. The Israeli govt and military have a responsibility to defend and protect. Just as you state that the British are at war in Afganistan.....the Israelis are at war with the inaction and abdication of responsibility of the PA to fight and prevent their savage children from conducting murder and mutilation as a national sport. I hope you plan your summer vacation for Gaza soon.....the hotels are booking up fast.

That was around 130 years ago , different time and morals ,...
40. Apologies
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.28.12)
for missing the 'e' from 'change'.
41. To No 28
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.28.12)
You say "the world doesn't like the British very much". Not much hope for me, then, being British - and Jewish!
42. From those wonderful folks.......
NS ,   Long Island, NY, USA   (06.28.12)
This report is bogus. It is written by people in the Foreign Office who still support the continuing occupation of Northern Ireland even after 800 years. Of course the Brits never torture, injure or kill in the name of the Queen. But the biggest hypocrites in Great Britain are not those on the political Right who support British imperialism but those on the political Left (like those of the Guardian and the Labor Party) who turn a blind eye to their own shortcomings. To the People of Israel; ignore the Brits. They don't count anymore.
43. #34
Anna ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.28.12)
Then explain us, please, why British government makes unprecedented accusation statements with no proof of the accuracy of torture while their own report says: " However, the legal team charged with compiling the report said that Israeli authorities offered unprecedented access to the delegation, and claimed they were in no position to prove the truth of the claims of cruelty made repeatedly by Palestinian children. " Hatred is very deep indeed living in British minds.
44. #42 Israel cannot 'ignore' Britain
(06.28.12)
75% of everything that Israel produces ends up in the EU. Of that 33% ends up in the UK. Ignoring a major trading partner is not an option, and that is why the Israeli Foreign Ministry has responded positively to the report, accepting british worries and also acknowledging British acceptance that improvements have been made in recent months.
45. The UK can pretty much be counted among the Moslem bloc.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.28.12)
The call of Sharia Law becomes increasingly shrill in the U.K. today. Britain is going down the toilet fast. It bows increasingly to radical Islamists, whose number are increasingly rapidly. UK foreign and domestic policies are increasingly similar to those of backward Moslem nations. The UK can pretty much be counted among the Moslem bloc today.
46. We need to be more creative
Yael Schlichting ,   Qiryat Motzkin   (06.28.12)
1. take a junk of area B and assign it for exchange with area C territory 2. build a town in this junk of land and surround it by a fence 3. take the child and possibly its family and place it there, and revoke further freedom of movement. 4. later exchange this land for a piece of area C when a possible Arab state of Palestine agrees with its borders.
47. Ask the Irish about UK media
ACortez ,   Anaheim, CA, USA   (06.28.12)
The UK and Europe in general is in no position to say anything about how the Jews treat terrorists.
48. #43 & #45
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.28.12)
You have both indulged in the busines of erecting what are called 'aunt sallys' i.e. you make assumptions - not necessarily correct - and then build arguments (I use that term loosely) on those assumptions. First, to #43, please cite the evidence that the British government has actually made specific allegations, rather than refer to media talk. If such evidence exists, you have a case. Second, to #45, although you don't really deserve a response to such arrant nonsense, perhaps you could cite firm evidence for your comments. If you can, I'll think seriously about packing my bags and leaving the country!
49. Your empire's gone
IL-ben   (06.28.12)
Your queen's just shaken hands with arch-terrorists. Deal with it. But don't take out your frustrations on others.
50. iSRAEL USING UNCONSCIONALE PRACTICES
Harold ,   USA   (06.28.12)
Israel has been practicing this unconscionable methods on Palestinian minors as from throwing stones began. I can say no country in the world use this cruel methods against minors. UK and other countries who created Israel are fully responsible for what is happening now.
51. To Bertram
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.28.12)
If you are Jewish and you love and support Israel you have nothing to worry about. Maybe you are British as far as your citizenship is concerned but if you are Jewish then you and I belong to the same ethnic group of people. I have nothing even remotely against British Jews since I consider them to be my countrymen - my ethnic group. I can't stand the anti-Semitic hypocrisy of the British - independently of them being British Englishmen or British Welshmen or British Scotsmen.
52. The Guardian - again
Madeleine ,   Rehovot Israel   (06.28.12)
the guardian is the UK's number one Israel basher. Cant believe anything they write or, if the basics are true, you can be sure they're distorted to suit the Guardian's support of the palis/ and the Independent is only second to the guardian in this respect. I think a few terrorist attacks in the UK would change the minds of most peopel.
53. Brits pretended to investigate bombing of Mike Place in TA
ab   (06.28.12)
by 2 London Pakistanis-only to be hit by London Tube Bombing from the same quarters. Had not for their ingrown hatred of Israel they might have untagled the blossomig terrorist nests in England early enough to prevent being hit themselves. They've learned nothing,"Bertram" is an example of it.
54. To #52 & #53
Bertram ,   London, UK   (06.28.12)
What is the matter with you two? Do you only listen to yourselves. I am not sure you do even that. The first one says a few terrorist attacks in the UK would change the minds of most people. The second points to a horrendous attack which did take place! If get your logic right it goes something like this. Britain continues to hate Israel because there haven't been enough terrorist attacks in the UK. Britain hates Israel therefore that's why the 7/7 attacks took place. Nobel prizewinners, both.
55. British Lawyers
Lenya ,   Australia   (06.29.12)
After been given full access to Palestinian terrorists. These hypocritical lawyers by taking the word of Palestinian taqiyya proponents (taught in the art of lying) decided to report unproven accusations against Israel. This is just another example of the long cold war against Israel by the British since 1948.
56. #28
(06.29.12)
Definitely not, go & stuff urself
57. once again
Paulb ,   cairns aust   (06.30.12)
Defense of the morally indefensible, courtesy of the Chosen. Like a broken record.....
