bibi does not agree he wants the bullet on head of the JAW .. BUT THERE IS NON IN RAMALLA POOR KID IS OKEY
32. We strongly disagree with this headline
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Winnipeg, CANADA   (12.08.13)
Why do we condemn Israel in the headline as though Israeli guilt has already been determined for shooting the Pal/Arab ? Usually, people are considered innocent until all the facts are in, but in this case Israel is already "guilty".
33. What about Syrian children ? Why is this teen's
barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (12.08.13)
death have more importance over Syrian children being killed????
34. there is something wrong in the palestinian
lili   (12.08.13)
report, usually when a palestinian get shot the Israeli paramedics care for him not the palestinian, unless palestinians knew about everything from advance.
35. To: No. 25

Because it is SO much more effective than tossing flowers, you know? But ask yourself this: if you are a thug who wants to cause trouble, or wants to hurl boulders or rocks at innocent people, but you know that it is quite possible -- and even likely -- that someone will retaliate using live fire; would it give you pause to reconsider the "wisdom" of your "bravery" if you knew that you might pay for your violent act with your life? And even if it does not deter you, the result does take one terrorist out of the mix -- and that's a good thing. Fighting fire with fire does put the fire out, you know. You may recall that it was when Israel started to use life fire that two previous intifadas fizzled out. It's no longer a lot of fun targeting innocent Jews when you realize that the consequences of your violence can be fatal. Abbas wants to ratchet up the ante? Fine, Israel will respond in kind. It's a losing proposition for the Arabs -- always has been -- but you will never lose any money betting on Abbas' stupidity and uncanny ability to do precisely the worst thing at the best time. He's in for a surprise -- most people are wondering what took Israel so long to learn how to deal with violent Arab thugs? Don't be looking for candlelight vigils for dead Arab terrorists anytime soon.
36. Important to investigate this killing
Alon   (12.08.13)
If the PA is cooperating in the investigation then the truth will come out sooner.
37. OK, rioting mob does not get shot at,
leo ,   usa   (12.08.13)
but innocent bystander standing alone and doing nothing dangerous does. Whom are you kidding.
38. # 22 Sarah B
Stan ,   Israel   (12.08.13)
My maternal grandparents were from Germany where 70 years ago the motto was "Germany above all else" So think before you accuse all the Palestinians. PS Nelson Mandela just died. If he had acted as you recommend, all the Whites in SA would have died or been expelled, including the many Jews who helped him.
39. #9 Gee you talk rubbish!
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (12.08.13)
There is no mention of the child holding a rock in this article, is there? What do you call haredis who throw rocks-terrorists? No you won't. Why did the IDF thug single out a 15 year old boy-for target practice? Probably, because he knew he could do it with impunity. That is why you keep Palestinians there for-cannon fodder. You make me puke!
40. #39 Darren: Another one from the butchers of the Aborigines!
David ,   Israel   (12.08.13)
So, its OK for for Palestinians to kill Jews but when the Jews fight back, well that is not allowed? The last time that happened 6 million Jews were exterminated. Before that the Soviets and before them, the Tzars butchered Jews left right and center. Then their were the other pogroms in Europe, the Spanish Inquisition and the Expulsion of Jews from England. No, we will never allow that to happen again and if you holier than thou pro-Palestinians, a lot that have killed more than 8,000 Israelis od ALL creeds, in some the the most heinous terror attacks, the the Dolphinarium bombing in Tel Aviv when scores of kids were killed and maimed, well just to effing bad! Maybe you should remember the the Bali terror attack, carried out by MUSLIMS, in which most of the victims were from your own country! Jews hold life sacred. Arabs hold death sacred and you hold dead Jews sacred! For your info, rocks kill kill jas dead as bullets and I HOPE YOU ENJOY PUKING AT #9' comment!
41. #38: Mandela was a terrorist and that is a fact!
ExPat SA ,   Israel   (12.08.13)
He opted for the arms struggle and you seem to forget that today's SA Government, the government of a country where the vast majority STILL live in poverty and squalor, has become an Jew hating Antisemitic country with calls to throw the Jews in the sea! Tutu and co have forgotten the Jews who had to flee Apartheid South Africa and those who stayed and formed the Progressive Party and had their phones tapped because they disagreed with Apartheid. You are right about accusing all the Palestinians although I am not sure which one not to accuse! You might have noticed how the Palestinians have usurped the Bedouin cause against the Prawer Player. People are saying that the Bedouins are not to blame for the waving of the PALESTINIAN flag at their demonstrations. If so, they were the majority, why didn't they stop the flag waving? If they had been waving the Israeli flag, after all, they are citizens of Israel with FULL rights, that would have been impressive! But they chose to use those who hate and want to destroy Israel, to further their cause! After this, would YOU trust a Bedouin soldier in the IDF who is walking behind you or his he one of the ones not to accuse?
42. #23
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (12.08.13)
You would know all about falling off bar stools, wouldn't you? The silly family you keep referring to were in the wrong place at the wrong time, weren't they. Stay behind your green line! OK?
43. #40-History Lesson
Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (12.08.13)
The Brits killed some of the Aborigines-not me. I love them. Rarely does a rock kill anyone but an IDF sniper's bullet nearly always does. This is not an even conflict as the opressers get 3 billion dollars a year to buy their weapons of choice to kill women and children like this, while the oppressed Palestinians only have whatever they can find on the ground. They won't just roll over and die like you did. It looks like throughout ALL history, you have not been very well liked, doesn't it???
44. no 43
(12.08.13)
so not you who have killed Aborigines but your ancestors.
45. # 11 and Y net
Stan ,   Israel   (12.09.13)
Does that include stone throwing Ultra orthodox in Jerusalem and Bet Shemesh? (Y net I suggest that you do not reject this reply as you did yesterday. There is no slander or racist slurs here, only facts.)
46. Unarmed, shot in the back, missing organs

Darren Ben John ,   Townsville Australia   (12.09.13)
That was a long time ago. We have learned, said sorry and moved on. YOU on the other hand have not learned and are still doing it today!
