Marko ,   US   (08.17.05)
The far right of Israels politics are the most destructive force for Israel. They are tearing Israel apart at the seems.
2. Shame!
yoel ,   Switzerland   (08.17.05)
I'm just ashamed to belong to the same religion as that killer. I never learnt that murder is awarded by going to heaven in Judaism.... If we pursue in this direction, there will be no difference between us and muslims. We will have also our own terrorists. To continue in this direction, we will legitimate antisemitic actions around the world. For example russians who wanted to forbid the russian version of Shulhan Aruch (incitement to violence??). Or even the last ukrainians' action in justice to forbid a book from the Lubavitch's rebbe. Yes, like Bin Laden and other muslim extremists with their Coran, some stupids are "legitimating" their acts by the name of our Holly Torah. It's time for some Rebbes to wake-up and clearly claim what are the limits! This especially towards those people who do not recognise any supreme authority from the State, except "their Rabbi" ot G-d...
3. You Israeli are the first terrorists
Osama ,   Palestine   (08.17.05)

4. Jewish terrorism
Raj ,   Nazareth Illite   (08.17.05)
Another crime by some fanatic Jew. Doesn’t the Bible say Thou shall not kill? Amazing
5. we jews contradicts ourselves
Shlomo ,   Jerusalem   (08.17.05)
really we jews contradicts ourselves, we say that all land of israel are ours then we accept to pollout from Gaza and parts of west bank, if this land really ours why we are giving it up?
6. To #4
J ,   Israel   (08.17.05)
Isn't that calling the kettle black!! Who do you think they learned from? As for what's going on now in Gaza... it's really heartbreaking to see. But don't worry. I'm sure the palestinians will start another war with us ( as history always shows) and this time we will never leave! Tell me why can arabs live among the Jews but Jews can't live among them? Who 's the terrorist killers?

http://www.palestine-un.org/plo/pna_two.html THE PALESTINIAN NATIONAL CHARTER Article 24: This Organization does not exercise any territorial sovereignty over the West Bank in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, on the Gaza Strip or in the Himmah Area. Its activities will be on the national popular level in the liberational, organizational, political and financial fields. And hey lets see what your terrorists fighters have been doing. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1123986010853&p=1078397702269 http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull&cid=1123986010853&p=1078397702269 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3127661,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3128241,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3128434,00.html http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3128493,00.html
8. osama
Dan ,   Nashville, TN   (08.17.05)
Osama, you are part of the problem. The difference is not that there are evil people on one side or the other. The difference is the response. Israel puts its best efforts in stopping and arresting these terrorists. The last one was not elevated as a hero, but was buried in shame -- denied a funeral in an Army cemetery. There was immediate condemnation on the Israeli right and left, and there was widespread revulsion by the acts of this tiny minority. Contrast this with the celebration of death by Arabs, the joy at the mass killing, and the elevation of the terrorists into heros with their pictures everywhere. There is little effort to stop and widespread encouragement for others to do the same. That is the difference. Don't try to blur it with moral equivalency.

10. to n°3
yoel ,   Switzerland   (08.17.05)
There is a big difference between you and I: I will never show happiness, I will never celebrate the killing of any arab, any palestinian! Another thing: our justice never ends by death penalty, which is not the case to the palestinian side who kill "collaborators" (not only). From the israeli side, I never heard about the execution of jew or arab israeli who sold weapons to palestinians. No, I'm different than you. It's not a matter of the "wall" that was built recently. The real separation concerns mentality, education in peace, tolerance, and brotherhood. Sorry to say, but my friendship concerns even arabs who don't think like you. Yes, I live abroad, and most of my friends are open-mided muslims (not only arabs). The only jews you know are israelis wearing uniforms. May some of them have arrested you? with that kind of opinion, they were right not to let you enter in Israel! Extremists should not be welcome anywhere! Even in this discussion forum, but you can see that jews are more tolerant, and that your insulting opinion was also published....
11. Unconditional condemnation
Charles B. Hall ,   Bronx, NY   (08.17.05)
I am a religious Jew and I condemn this act of terrorism unconditionally.
12. Raj-Marko-all Arabs
manny ,   USA   (08.17.05)
When you stop blowing yourselves up 3000 times in 4 years we can talk about murder.
13. Attacks / Disengagement
Harriet ,   USA   (08.17.05)
Neither side is right when it takes anothers right away to live and breath (death), BUT, Shilo, was where our first site was for the Tabernacle. When we as Jews are finally defending ourselves we are called murderers. True, this man was not defending himself. Arabs of Jerusalem and other parts of Israel DO NOT want to be part of PA. THAT no one talks about EXCEPT Israeli, Jerusalem Arabs. Arabs themselves do not like eachother, their only common ground is a generation of education against the Jews. After all, we do have the same father. Avraham. When Israel came to be the Palestianian Arabs were asked to stay and build the country together, and the other Arab nations did not offer one 'brother' to come to live in their vast lands. WHY is that?????
14. compalcency!
Nabulsi   (08.17.05)
How could a terrofascist settler steal a soldier's weapon and not only shoot the Palestinians in his vicinity but continue to the idustrial zone to kill more before he was stopped! This is just outrageous complacency on the soldier's behlaf and his superiors up the chain. Come on get all those fascist settlers out of Palestine completely.
15. My condolences to the bereaved
Eyal ,   Tlv.il   (08.17.05)
Gun + "small" man are a dangerous combination. They should have left him behind.
16. #2 & 3
(08.17.05)
What this guy did is absolutely wrong and is not permited by the torah. However, take a look at the Palestinian record. Not so great. Several hundred civilians killed each month. Blowing up civilians is not freedom fighting. And we are not robbers. We are giving you guys Gaza, our land. This guy did not kill muslims because he is on some "Jihad-like" crime-spree. He killed because he is being expelled from his home. He has lost everything and has nothing more to lose. That makes him angry and willing to do anything. He is a danger to society. But the Palestinian terrorists far out number the Jewish ones. Doesn't your bible have anything about not murdering?!
17. To 7 , so pathetic
Osama ,   PALESTINE   (08.17.05)
you and your answer are so pathetic, we are fighters for freedom, and you are robbers, and of course robbers will always be chased and shot every where, you need the palestinians to stay peacfully and you are stealing their land, just try for one time to use this water-millon which we call it brain
18. handful vs majority
yehuda ,   new york   (08.17.05)
you can count the jewish political murderers, for decades, on your fingers (goldstein, amir, zada and this new one). for arabs, its tens of thousands, just this week one thousand, masked, armed hamas terrorists marched in gaza alone. Not ONE rabbi has supported the jewish murderers, while just about ALL arab mullahs, consider their murderers "martyrs". the writer who said "i'm ashamed to be of the same religion" and the others who use these rare freak incidents to bash Judaism and religious jews, and are quick to "understand" arab jihadists, should be ashamed of themselves!
19. Read the Torah
Sean ,   S Africa   (08.17.05)
when you translate the commandment from ivrit it says Do not murder. Killing is fine; even God demands it; but you cannot murder. There are laws. And this was murder.
20. to no 10 and 8
Osama ,   Palestine   (08.17.05)
why the israeli government didn't demolish the setteler house who killed the arabs in shafaamro and why doing it for arabs, you are racists and you are the terrorists. asking why you are not killing the spies? the answer honey is you by yourself are all spies and the people who first invented the spy thing in the worls and you glorify it, you don't even respect or feel that there is something called privacy in this life, when you spy on someone you are breaking his privacy at minimum, just try one time to use the water-miilon in your hear that we call "brain"
21. sad day
cliff from montreal ,   canada   (08.17.05)
What a sad day this is.But here you can see the vast difference between muslim and Jewish society.When the pal terror butchers slaughtered an innocent Jewish family travelling in their car, or invaded a Jewish home, killing not only adults, but sadistically murdering babies and children.The pals celebrated in the streets of gaza and the west bank.They did the same with 9/11.Contrast that with the outright condemnation and sadness that Jews express when one of their own steps over the line of decency to become a terrorist and slaughters innocent muslims.Pals, this is your chance to stand up and move forward.Destroy your terror masters from hamaSS and islamik jihad and you will have peace.You now only have yourself to blame.
22. we are freedom demanders
Osama ,   PALESTINE   (08.17.05)
we are freedom demander, as long as we are under occupation you israeli will never see peacefull day, what you call israel will be hell for you, we don't have anything to lose, our homes are desroyed by you, and who ever don't like it let him drink from GAZA sea
23. Osama, you don't know the meaning
Dan ,   Nashville, TN   (08.17.05)
of racist. You pretend to not know the meaning of terror, and you certainly don't know the meaning spies. Since you are the one describing an entire group of people (Jews) as "spies", "terrorists", and the like, it is you who are the racist here.
24. Jew kills 3 Palestinians
Chris Crews ,   Kemmerer, Wy   (08.17.05)
It's interesting that the media labelled the settler as a terrorist, while typically labelling the islamic terrorists as "gunmen". This is inspite of the fact that the event appears to be a spontaneous act, without serious planning and/or premeditation. I would appreciate it if the press would apply the same standard to the real terrorist in iraq, gaza, etc. It's pretty sickenning.
25.  "to no 10 and 8 " no comparison!
yehuda ,   new york   (08.17.05)
the handfull (literally) of jewish murders were NOT part of any organized terror campaign, just lone murderers, and/or nut jobs. zada's own family tried to stop their son, and asked the IDF to take away his weopon. The Tapuach community, (ZADA's) is expelling, those with extremist ideas, and refused him burial in their cemetary. Contrast this with the homicide bomber's "Sisro's mother" types, who say "this is the happiest day of my life, I hope my younger son will do likewise. She only cries (before every TV camera she and her terrorist organization can find) when her HOUSE is destroyed. Happy when son murders and dies, crying when her house is destroyed! That's why their is a different policy!
26. Zionist Americans
Profesor Phill ,   UK. England   (08.17.05)
Zionists (mainly American Jew) weep crocodile tears for the Gaza pullout, but are basically happy with killing more innocent Arabs. I want to say for who claims you are giving Gaza to the Palestinians, that all Palestine is not yours, you are giving-back just a small piece of it because of resistance and not because you are so civilized, you must withdraw from their all lands by any mean. Palestinians are very generous that they accept to live with you in their land, that occupied before 1967. Yes, I do agree with the statement that any Palestinian killed in this war is a martyr and will go to the paradise. On the other side, any Israeli killed in Palestine died for an evil purpose. The Israeli government and some Jew condemning what happen today to the Palestinian workers by wards only and do nothing to prevent this phenomena, and why to do while their prime minister and minister of defence have that black bloody history. Phil
28. #22 U are greedy demanders is more like it
cliff from montreal ,   canada   (08.17.05)
Ah, words cannot describe you.You are consumed with evil hate.It is so visable to us.Your skin must be wrinkled from all that hate and your eyes don't sparkle, but burn with hate! Take pity on poor ossamma.I have a wish for you though.Don't let that hate destroy you.The more hate you make, the more hate will come back to haunt you.Face the facts, the Jewish people were robbed by your people of their land, and now in return for some kind of peace, the Jews are forfeiting their rightful ownership of that land.And for that gesture, you are spewing venom.Time to wake up hateful one and smell the fresh air of peace.You have only yourselved to blame now.
29. osama
mike ,   usa   (08.17.05)
so why did you not take what barak offered? why did you not take what oslo was designed to give you? why do you fight when israel is giving you gaza (more like forcing you to take it)? they are ready to give you the west bank, no need to fight. that is, it seems like you have to prove what a big "man" you are by fighting. instead, you look like immoral savages. whatever you like.
30. to Mike and Cliff
Osama ,   PALESTINE   (08.17.05)
Oslo and Barak only gave islands surrounded by settelements, israel has the key to close and open the door when ever they want, no way to accept that honey, we are asking our land not begging and asking favor. and you cliff really made me laugh, do you have anything else to say or shall you write another more meaningfull response, try to concentrate honey, and you know, it is really easy to talk and give opinions when you are living out there in Canada and USA just watching, you don't even know what is going on, and tell you what honey, when we need to have your opinion we may give you a call, and don't ever dare to come
