1. Sad for the families, despite their loss...
Just Sayin' ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
they are no different than the rest of us. Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to us all of us as cannon fodder for his and only his needs. There is a French saying that says: "A people has the government they deserve." But by G-d what have we done to deserve this particular government!
2. Who cares?
(08.11.13)
It's time to make peace, really!!!
3. There were 10 times that many against Putin's Homophobia!
tom ,   tel aviv   (08.11.13)
We are what we deserve...or whatever.
4. OMG! you mean there were terror attacks b4 Oslo??!
Israeli ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
Well I'll be! because somehow this doesn't fit in with the rest of the flaming ranting right wing rhetoric we have all been fed since 1993! Where ever are the "Women in Green"? Why aren't they all out there protesting!
5. You chose an anti-Haredi programa
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.11.13)
6. Obamatwisted Bibi's arm
Raphael ,   Netanya   (08.11.13)
To release vicious killers. In the meantime, he keeps Pollard in a cage for 1/4 century. Time to get rid of our "protectors".
7. To #2 -- Really?!
Aviela ,   Migron RC, Israel   (08.11.13)
What a completely insensitive comment, to people who have spent so much time suffering the gruesome and senseless loss of a loved one. This course of action has never brought peace. It has only brought more terror. It is asinine that we, as a nation, take the same failing steps over and over and keep officially expecting a different outcome.
8. Why r they there alone?
Jrebecca ,   Modiin   (08.11.13)
Because as much as we feel their pain, and we do, we all hope for a future peace. We know we are risking our sons, our children, ourselves, but our overall wish, our hope against hope, is for peace, and we keep trying for it.
9. Who can argue with grieving relatives
norbus ,   Jerusalem   (08.11.13)
of those who gave their life for their country ? Who can not feel for the excruciating pressure on Nathanyahu and the coalition in government Who can honestly hold Obama and USA blameless ; Mr Obama will be even more dangerous as he feels his political raft sinking in the waves he created.
10. Class action suits against criminally negligent politicians.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
It is time to do more than complain about criminally negligent politicians who unleash murderers against Israel. It is time to hold them accountable through class action lawsuits. Start with Shimon Peres and Labor, whose criminal negligence has already costed thousands of Oslo victims their lives and well being. Enough is enough. Israelis must NO longer submit to being cannon fodder for cowardly politicians.
11. Why are we alone?
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.11.13)
Solidarity is one of the many things the Secular society can learn from Haredim.
12. 8 Trying by making the same...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (08.11.13)
mistakes? Amazing !
13. Youre not alone, the enitre nation around the world
hipocrates ,   earth   (08.11.13)
the nation that isnt ignorant of its history, is with you. Its a really horrible thing to do this. Not a wise move not a just move. It enables a violently sick society like what the arabs under the PA/PLO are, to remain so. They cheer for their sons who were arrested for murdering babies on buses. Repugnant and inhumane are 2 words that come to mind.
14. #4 not too bright
(08.11.13)
Before Oslo there were terror attacks. The extreme Left said "these are too many! Let us sign Oslo and bring Arafat, he will stop the terror attacks". The Zionists said "There are terror attacks, but Oslo will bring more" The extreme Left were wrong, like always. The Zionists were right, like always. By the way, what about the "rule of law"? The extreme Left always screams "rule of law", but somehow does not care that the government overturn a judicial decision that they want.
15. Dump red paint at the entrance of the courts
Johnny ,   TA, Israel   (08.11.13)
That way you will get the message through that they are stepping on the blood of Israelis murdered and those soon to be murdered by the released terrorists
16. @15 it's not a Vegan really this is about human beings....
(08.11.13)
17. # 11 Don't take the bus!!!
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (08.11.13)
You might end up alone and walking if the Haredim act out again.
18. @15 ur suggestion will get them arrested b4 the paint....
(08.11.13)
hits the ground. Defacing government property carries serious fines and jail time.
19. Numbers 35: 33 and 34 polluting the land
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (08.11.13)
33 So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are; for blood, it pollutes the land; and no expiation can be made for the land for the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it. 34: And thou shalt not defile the land which ye inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I the LORD dwell in the midst of the children of Israel
20. #4. Before Oslo, terror was rare and severely punished.
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
Before Oslo, "Palestinian" terror cost Israel an average of about 12 casualties annually. After Oslo, casualties ran into the thousands. Before Oslo, terror was rare and severely punished. After Oslo, terror became an everyday occurrence. Shimon Peres and Labor must be hold accountable for thousands of Israelis maimed and murdered as a direct result of their criminally negligent conduct during the Oslo Disaster.
21. # 14 Or, the 'rule of the lawless'.
BUILD BABY BUILD !!! ,   United States   (08.11.13)
22. Gesture? I've Got a Gesture For The Arabs
emanon ,   USA   (08.11.13)
. . . and my gesture does not even require all my fingers.
23. @20 oh yay & what of the 1st intifada?
Israeli ,   Israel   (08.11.13)
that raises the loss of human life to quite a bit higher than 12. the rest of your post is lacking in historical framework. Do you remember who the Ministers of Defense were for the years you are citing? If your sentence: "Before Oslo, terror was rare and severely punished." is correct then you owe a debt of thanks to amongst others Shimon Peres and Labor! Further, please do remember that it was Yitzhak SHAMIR who supported HAMAS and their soup kitchens and dental clinics as a counterbalance to the PLO. Given that HAMAS has carried out more acts of terror than the PLO I think you need to revamp your sentences! BLAME LIKUD and their twisting turning policies for this.
24. the right isn't with them because...
(08.11.13)
they got 1200 new apartments today. They were paid off to be silent. And obedient good right wing that they are...they are silent and uncaring.
25. You Are Not Alone!
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (08.11.13)
The entire Jewish people and G-d are with you. Unfortunately, the Government of the State and the Supreme Court are not.
26. You are alone because you've been silent
Tracy   (08.11.13)
You have been silent as other abuses against Jews have been perpetrated by these and past Israeli authorities, and by Arabs who run rampant attacking Jewish motorists. Nobody stands for anyone or anything in Israel these days. Not beyond a few dozen people who show up to protest. There is no unity, no solidarity, No sense of outrage. The government can do as it pleases.
27. #2 nobody
DavidR ,   USA   (08.11.13)
I would look up your name on the "brain dead list" however you didn't have the courage to include it.
28. How many?
Bob Cassidy   (08.11.13)
How many of these prisoners were sent to jail by an undemocratic military court? How many prisoners had a trial, were represented by a lawyer, were convicted of a crime or were given a defined sentence? How many of these prisoners are political prisoners, victims of apartheid policies? They deserve to be freed!
29. #3 tom
DavidR ,   USA   (08.11.13)
what you call homophobia is actually morality. Putin is deserving of honor on this one.
30. #28 answers
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (08.11.13)
All were represented by the best lawyers in Israel, all were given the right to appeal, all were sentenced for defined term. All admitted to murder, and all accepted very generous pensions from PLO and Saddam Hussein because they murdered. What is a "polticial prisoner"? Is violently ending the life of a Jew or an Arab you don't like "politics" or "murder"? Since none were tried in apartheid countries like Jordan, Saudi Arabia or Syria, the answer to your last question is "none"
