2. police
Abel Halame El Hamon ,   Isratina   (06.15.14)
They dedicate their time to nonsense and irrelevant cases, and forget about the real ones.
3. teens abducted
chawa ,   Jerusalem   (06.15.14)
if the (lefty) police indeed did not inform the IDF in the beginning then they are guilty also if there is something wrong with the kids!!

A typical response from an uneducated Arab teenager who thinks that he is brave to post bravado on a Jewish site.I bet you would crap your pants if you met Dror.Piss off Arab warrior and tend to your goats.
5. Had it been a Price Tag they'd been out in full force
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.15.14)

7. Police Service weakness EVERYWHERE
Gideon Reader   (06.15.14)
In every nation on the planet, wether developed or underdeveloped, Pee Poor Protoplasm Prevents Prime Quality Performance. It's the personnel selection stupid!!!! A department is only as good as the fool hired or promoted beyond his or her level of competence
8. Dror Smuck what a looser
Miri   (06.15.14)
Moron politics from the big looser
9. criminal negligence
CJK   (06.15.14)
all those in the police who acted with this criminal negligence should be fired. the police has no more sacred duty than to prevent terror attacks, including kidnappings by arabs of jews.
10. They probably haven't been abducted.
Robert ,   Australia   (06.15.14)
More than likely it's a fabrication by Israel.

12. Police in Israel are totally INCOMPETENT...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daniel   (06.15.14)
Who ever dealt with this must be fired IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!
13. why r people STILL Hitchhiking?
Israel ,   Israel   (06.15.14)
1. Because they don't listen to anyone as they know better than any ridiculous warnings put out by the Israeli Police, the IDF and the security services. 2. Because despite running a well oiled and very racist ad campaign on their internet sites ... I am referring to the racist ad campaign which asks "Can you tell which one is Arab? She can't either." then the racist ad campaign goes on to show how the beautiful Jewish girl ends up in Moslem garb married to an Arab. So if they "know" enough to create a racist ad campaign one presumes that they know enough to tell their children "Don't hitchhike there are dangerous people out there!" But no, these racists are sure that it can't happen to them and that they can do as they please! So let's have a little think...who's responsible for the safety and well-being of children? Parents! so why were these children hitchhiking? Oh right because the Israeli Police don't know didly and they know better. See circular argument goes in a circle both ways!
14. CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE BY GUSH ETZION POLICE
Riva Schertzman ,   Gush Etzion   (06.15.14)
ANY police complaint we have ever made over the last 20 years has NEVER been attend to! the ONLY work these guys do is carry out political agenda, and everything is directed at hurting Jews!
15. Regretfully it is S
(06.15.14)
16. Regretfully it is SOP
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.15.14)
Teenagers often don't go directly home. They will visit with friends, even sleep over and don't always notify their parents in time. Police the world over tell parents of teens to check with their friends first and then wait some hours before declaring them "missing". The police followed SOP in this case too. Perhaps they could have been a bit more flexible considering the locations that the boys were hitching from, but that is the worst that can be said of them in this case. Our most sincere hope and wishes for a safe and speedy return for the 3 boys.
17. Regretfully it is SOP (second attempt!)
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.15.14)
Teens often don't come directly home. They often go to visit friends, even sleep over and don't call home right away. It is SOP for police all over the world to tell parents of teens first to call all of their friends and to wait a few hours. In this case the police might have been a bit more flexible considering the location from which the teens disappeared. That is the worst that can be said about them. Sincere and heartfelt wishes that Gilad, Naftali and Eyal return home safe and speedily.
18. All those incompétent should be fired
Dovdevan ,   Ashdod,   (06.15.14)
What a bench idiot
19. bureau-crazy ??
chaya ,   central israel   (06.15.14)
If there is some truth to the report, in these days, and considering who are our neighbors, the police should cut the BS and act NOT wait !!! weknow we deal with "less than people" and every seconds count. May Hashem bring our boys back safe and sound.
20. dismiss, arrest police who refused to act
dante   (06.15.14)
in a situation like this, time is of the essence. anyone responsible for delay is an accomplice of the terrorists. there is no place on police force for such people. GET RID OF THEM! and, prosecute the stupid or lazy or subversive officers.
21. A driver from Beersheva
In YIsrael Hayom   (06.15.14)
reported to the police and army that he gave two of them a lift, while he was picking up his own son. He was thanked by them. He repeatedly warned the two youngsters of the dangers. It's ok it's ok.....they assured him.....
22. Typical right wing response: Blame others ...
(06.15.14)
and don't take responsibility. The issue here is that parents are responsible for their children. If they can't pick them up they should make safe transportation arrangements for them...instead they are pollyanna and IGNORE the warnings. Then they blame the police, the army, the prime minister and anyone else they can think of...I am fed up with them. That said I trust in G-d that the children will be found safe and sound. ...and just watch we'll all end up paying more taxes so that a new transportation system will be hand made to fit these fools!
23. Israel's Keystone Cops"
IndifferenceKills" ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.15.14)
Over and over again we hear similar stories of the ineffective and almost invisible Israeli Police anyone ever call a station to report something?,, until someone finds a pen and finally understands what and where you are talking about the criminals are long gone , the excuse always given "not enough money to fund a larger police force" but there is plenty of money for everything else including graft , I also blame the extremely indifferent Israeli public to just about anything . They still have to learn that "indifference kills" and sometimes their own loved ones whether it is indifference to a decent police force or to the garbage fed their kids on the Israeli state funded media both kill in different ways. .
24. #22 amen
(06.15.14)
Look at that Right-winger Obama, he keeps blaming Bush. Or Right-winger Peres who blamed Netanyahu, even though the bus bombs happened when he and Rabin were in power.
25. The Government is to Blame
Tali ,   Tel Aviv   (06.15.14)
Bibi is to blame for trading terrorists for abducted soldiers (and it's not even 1 terrorist for 1 soldier, but many). It just gives Israel's enemies the incentive to abduct more people. Is anyone suprised that this happened? Nope...
26. @24 who released Ahmed Yassin...
#22 ,   Israel   (06.15.14)
You remember Ahmed Yassin the head of Hamas? can't answer let me help you...Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu of Likud! Now if MK Mr. Feiglin is a member of Likud and President Ruby Rivlin is a member of Likud then the Likud Party is Right wing. Therefore how is it that a right wing Prime Minister released Ahmed Yassin and unleashed a terrorist hell on all of us? but you go on with your BS ... I will carry on with the facts.
27. Sad to say...
Eli Bodie ,   USA   (06.15.14)
...because of the ineptness of the civil authorities, these young men are already lost in Gaza! Praying for their safe return!
