is a good idea. This tragedy shows how deadly wrong they are. We MUST NOT give PA a State and then see HOW DEADLY THAT TURNS OUT.

from jail soon, and will return as a hero to his community. Thank you, Israeli government.

We are not animals ; chimps are known to lynch. Good to have a court impose up to capital punishment in an eye for an eye basis

I cannot understand the judicial system in Israel. Why do they not have capital punishment? This guy should be sentenced to death. Let him get the punishment he deserves and moreover why waste money feeding him in jail?? I dont care how left wing someone is, capital punishment is the only way to teach these monsters.

Forward thinking. No nation in the world would stand for this nonsense.

If this "minor" sees ANY jail time, he'll be "released" next year!!!! We are a SICK country!!!

I can't imagine the pain that Eden Atias' family must be feeling, I hope that G-d will graciously take care of Eden Atias and I hope that the Arab will receive a swift punishment - preferably a capital punishment. And regarding Netanyahu and this government, it seems our leadership has grave intellectual difficulties understanding that the law and order is not a shukh - it's not a market place where you negotiate the price of goods - the law MUST UNCONDITIONALLY be enforced, and our political elite seems to have grave intellectual difficulties understanding that in order for Israel to survive as a Jewish state, the number of Jews must be maximized and the number of non Jews minimized - that includes Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, illegal African immigrants, and of course Elsie from Gush Halav and Non-Jewish Immigrant in Haifa, and other non Jews and anti-Semites plotting to destroy and undermine Israel as a Jewish country and Jewish nation state for the Jewish people ONLY. Non Jews can live here if they agree they are foreigners and a minority with individual, civil, human and democratic rights only. Non Jews have ZERO national rights in Israel. If they demand it, it's a declaration of war - it's that simple. If we Jews hear one beep about non Jews wanting to turn Israel into a multi-cultural republic based solely on citizenship and if we hear one beep about letting millions of non Jews invading Israel to destroy the Jewish demographic majority and if we hear one beep about the non Jews of Israel siding with the Arabs against us - the non Jews must be kicked out. If Jews can live as a loyal minority in European and Arab states, than non Jews can live as loyal minorities in Israel as well. If the world doesn't try to kill us in Auschwitz or through Arab tanks and fighter jets or through Arab terrorism or Iranian nukes, the world tries to kill us through boycotts, enforced multi-culturalism in Israel against the will of the Israeli people. What is staggering is that Netanyahu is not doing anything to counter the evil and the hypocrisy of the world and he apparently doesn't fight anti-Semitism in Israel. The political elite of Israel also seems to have grave intellectual difficulties to understand that a nation is built through national unification, solidarity, loyalty and national self determination, hope, courage and strength and through national expansion - not through abandonment, self hatred or territorial withdrawal. Yes I know that my talkback is long and touches upon subjects that might be "unrelated" to this article taken at face value, but this Arab violence against Jews in Israel and around the world is part of a bigger problem that Israel's leadership ignores.

My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family. May they never know such heartache ever again.

THIS MURDERER LIKE HE PRAISES ALL HIS GOOD CITIZENS WHO KILLED JEWS

"Gan Eden", in honor of this young boy who was murdered as a result of the stupidity of politicians who believe it is possible to live in peace with the illegal arab squatters.

why the passengers of the bus did not kill this terrorist

convicted mass murderers. They use the most vile anti-Semitic language in their official media, in the mosques and in schools, and we talk to them about peace which they don't want. Have we gone mad?

how can a young get into bus station. where is the police? they plan and we sleep

its amazing that with all the passengers on the bus, that this 16 yr old punk is still alive, or not in critical condition... Thats ANOTHER tragedy.

Lets not try to be blind, he is just as bad as the other 2. He had a chance to bring down the government b4 the murders got released, yet stayed in for power. Shame on him!!!

A poor Jewish boy has been brutally murdererd by an Arab anti-Semite in our Jewish homeland. Do the passengers on the bus do anything? Of course not! Nothing! Why should they? Why would our "beloved" countrymen express a shred of human sympathy and empathy for their fellow Jews? Will the police do anything? I don't think so. Will Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu release this Arab murderer? Of course he will - that's symptomatic of Jewish or Israeli Left wing politics of self hatred and self humiliation. Israel may have nukes and the 4th largest military air force in the world and Israel may indeed be the 2nd most important scientific and high technological center in the world after the USA and Israel may be the 2nd most educated country in the world in terms of how many percent of the population holds a university degree, but if the Israeli or Jewish people don't give a damn about each other and if our leadership abandons our country, it doesn't really matter that Israel is materially speaking strong. Israel's spirit is weak and rotten - something very bad has happened with Jewish solidarity and Israeli patriotism since Rabin and Peres were in power in the 1990s. The Jewish people must return to their Jewish roots, embrace Judaism, reject cynical and obsessive Western materialism and egoism, and embrace patriotism and solidarity. People in Israel must start caring about each other. Jews must care about their fellow Jews. Life in Israel can't just be about "Big Brother", drugs, the beach, alcohol, sex and TV.

WHAT A STUPID QUESTION.!!! HE WAS AN ISRAELI SOLDIER, AND THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH FOR YOU. AND NOW HE IS A HERO.

IF we were, Eden Attias would be alive. The Arab wouldn't have been allowed on the bus.

The Israeli soldier was killed due to his Jewish or Israeli ethnicity. Had he belonged to another ethnicity or represented another army of another country he wouldn't have been attacked by the viciously anti-Semitic Arab terrorist. Private Eden Atias was killed by an Arab terrorist in the Jewish State of Israel because he was a Jew. IGNORING the ethnicity of murdered Israeli citizens is ignorant and quite frankly racist since Arabs almost exclusively attack Israeli soldiers and civilians due to their Jewish or Israeli ethnicity. Would the Arabs attack blonde Scandinavian tourists in Israel? Would the Arabs attack Germans or the French visiting Israel? Hardly. Who do you think Arabs target in Europe if not the Jews? Eden Atias was killed because he was a Jew. Had he belonged to another ethnic group he wouldn't have been killed. Ignoring that is the REAL stupidity! Are you SERIOUSLY suggesting that Arabs don't attack Jews out of unreasonable vicious racist Jew hatred? Do you think it's a "coincidence" that the Arab attacked a Jew instead of an Arab or another non Jew? All Israeli soldiers and civilians are not Jews but the overwhelming majority is.

.. He is from an Islamic killer family, and their blood should not be allowed to multiply/breed. R.I.P for this brave young man, Eden Atias' soul who in a moment became a soldier. I shed tears for this young man.

This Terrorist should have been shot on site. Also his family home should be demolished. Instead no doubt he will enjoy 5 star conditions in jail and earn a degree before returning home a hero in some future prisoner exchange. What a joke Israel is becoming, unable to protect jewish citizens

passports, he and every other "palestinian" should be deported to their own country...Jordan. Abdallahs father knew very well how to handle these human scum, as he demonstrated in Sept. 1970. Abdallah the Hashemite and his bedouin army will also not allow "palestinians" to threaten his little kingdom.

He was Jewish by religion, but an Arab ethnically.

Murdered only because he was Jewish. This is what Israel has to contend with. Incitement by the Arab leaders and then they want free speech and freedom of movement. He murdered while the soldier was asleep. Utterly despicable.

Abbas. Condemnation. Only silence. Next he will say we are civilised educated people
