1. This is the "powerful" IDF
(01.18.16)
They cannot even protect their own citizens.
2. Widespread commiseration expected from the Arab community ?
Roland ,   london England   (01.18.16)
This is a crime that effects all citizens.The arab section of Israeli's multicultural society,has held its voice on these tragedies far too long.We are all citizens together,and this is not the way to instal peace within and without Israeli borders.The "sulheh "that we must have must be promoted by the arab section of society.,as we as Jews have tried far too long without success.We have continuously let fly the doves of peace but they have been constantly attacked by the ravenous hunting falcons.
3. Stop employing Arabs PERIOD!

Arabs cannot be trusted and should not be employed in Israel.

10. ISIS inspired attacks
ky   (01.18.16)
There is little doubt where the inspiration comes from. Israel needs self control and preparation. There will soon be a time when accounts will be settled.
11. terrorist families
matti   (01.18.16)
rule of law prevails in Israel and all know it. terrorist who wants to liberate 'palestine' so- called, knifes a woman in front of her 6 children, walks the edge of what is true liberation vs bestial criminality. The culture y sanctify such killing for the freedom fighter. so what is the risk?The terrorist cares about his familiy- parents,sisters, brothers, sons and daughters if not himself.Again the rule of law prevails so the terrorist knows he may die but if captured, his family is safe, he will be well treated in prison, with good meals, university courses, visits etc. wenstein ensures criminals are treated royally.Look what his courts are doing for convicted politicians? However, some israelis pushed to the edge are fed up with this state of affairs. so arab families are in danger.i have no doubt that if feiglin comes to power, arabs are in real danger. Your best hope to continue stabbings knifings and shootings is to get israelis to elect herzog livni or lapid,and then you will be able to kill and maim hundreds more israelis from liberated territories with virtual impunity. and herzog will give you most of west bank.. feiglin is going to move tens of thousands of arabs out of israel one way or another much as the serbs removed the kosovars. Most people believe this to be true. your families may not be safe unless you stop your members from terror acts.saying you did not know he was going to do it.oh yes, you know and we know you know not only feiglin, but lieberman is like putin. if he takes power, he will unleash a firestorm, a firestorm on you the only thing holding back leiberman and feiglin and others who think the same is the press, the justice system, and mainstream politicians. but if you keep killing in such ways, you will bring on lieberman and feiglin becaiuse israelis have shown they are fed up with bibi,herzog, livni and lapid and weinstein, just totally fedup..
12. My Sincere Condolences For This Current

Family with Saddness and Comfort to children and extended family, take comfort that Ha Shem will Quell the misery soon. Baruch Ha Shem
13. Dafna's husband's hair has turned gray. My father's hair
Rvkh   (01.18.16)
turned gray/white in his twenties after a tragedy hit him. General John Joseph Pershing, the only Six Star General of the Armies besides General George Washington, lost his wife and three of his four children in a house fire in the Presidio of San Francisco while he was chasing criminal Pancho Villa back to Mexico with his Buffalo Soldiers (Black troops) in Arizona. His hair turned white in two weeks, the grief was so terrible. So who does Tucson, Arizona, have a statue of a hundred years later? Pancho Villa on a horse! Instead of General Pershing and his Buffalo Soldiers chasing Pancho Villa. That would be like a statue built to the stabber of Dafna instead of Dafna. Insanity rules in the USA. Hope it does take over Israel.
14. You converts
Rob ,   DC   (01.18.16)
You converts went to the land of Canaan hating on the indigenous Palestinian people,,,,,, now you can hate them just a little bit more.
15. Dafna, daughter of Zion, we mourn you
C   (01.18.16)
you were exceptional in all ways. you endured being fatherless and motherless until hashem gave you a family. yet you remained happy and optimistic. you devoted your life to the care of others, as a nurse, as a mother, as a foster mother, as a wife, as a friend. you were a beautiful woman with a brilliant smile. you were devoted to your community and to medinat yisrael. the nations despised you, dafna, because they told you you had no right to live as a jew in your home. the hatred of the nations caused your horrible death, dafna. their hatred left your children motherless and your husband without his soul mate. this was your sacrifice, dafna, for the sovereign jewish state and for the jewish people. you have joined the millions of heroes and heroines before you who would not bow before foreign idols or potentates. you fought the battle in your way, and you fell in this battle in kidush hashem. may hashem, in his love and infinite mercy, keep you close and watch over you and over your bereft children.
16. what a dumb comment
jbsfsax ,   Freiberg, Germany   (02.10.16)
you misssed a good opportunity to keep your mouth shut, so not to hurt a family who lost their mother in a murder so terrible. Don't you have any empathy? Don't you recognize that this was (and astonishingly still is) a peaceful family which strived for good relations towards their Arab neighbours? And maybe you should take some lessons on history of Canaan and Israel. The majority of Arab inhabitants of Palestine in 1948 came with the Jews into the land, i.e. not earlier than the end of the 19th century, attracted by the prosperity and economic opportunities that came with the Jews. Ask the old guys in the villages. Israel is supposed to be a blessing to the world, and the Jews are supposed to be and have indeed been a blessing to all amongst whom they lived, most of the time. Europes and Americas Glory and Achievements, amongst them human rights and freedoms, are unthinkable without the Jews living there and bringing new ideas to the world of middle age stagnation. The same could happen to all the Arabs, if they only would embrace the Jews and show their own strength and morale and good deeds towards them, as many did. But these many are overshadowed by the hatred inciters and war mongers, the mighty men of the arab street, which spill blood as if it was water, regardless if it is arab or jewish blood, as long as it serves their corrupt interests. Now, instead of rebuilding Gaza, they misuse the donations of the world to build attack tunnels and kill jewish farmers in their beds as well as their children on their way to school, inviting multiple times more death in revenge towards their own population, which they detest and mistreat badly in order to get headlines and draw compassion from the world So many young Arab boys could have started decent lives and families and show that they are worth of living in the Holy land. Those who hate and kill the Jews because they are Jews, and do not hesitate to deliberately target babies, children and mothers, will be wiped off the earth by the wrath of God, at his time of judgement, but hopefully earlier.
