1. Keep these killers out of Europe
accessol ,   Spelthorne, England   (10.06.05)
Hopefully such legal actions will ensure that these professional assassins will be scared to put a foot outside of their self imposed ghetto state. If they come here let them suffer the consequences: a trial for war crimes at the Hague and a hefty prison sentence all of which is far too lenient for what they are guilty of.
2. The wanted terrorists endanger the lives of Israelis..
(10.06.05)
they have to be arrested or killed. If the civilians are asked and agree to comply and knock on the door than the danger isn't that big. Otherwise they will refuse because they know the soldiers won't hurt them. The disturbing part is that the Palestinians shoot their own people because they knock on their doors at night.
3.  TO #1 THE BRITISH HYPOCRITES
Daavid ,   USA   (10.06.05)
THE BRITISH HYPOCRITES
4. acceshole; I agree that the Arab terrorists be banned.
Daisy ,   USA   (10.06.05)

dahvid ,   usa   (10.06.05)
accessol, to understand you better, are you an arab or muslim, or what?
6. send the terrorists to Europe
mordechai ,   Boca Raton Fl   (10.06.05)
Israel should deport the terrorists to England so the poster can enjoy their company as fellow citizens. This way British citizens can know the same joy as Israelis do of living with these peace loving Muslims. I think the poster should post his address, so the Arabs can move directly into his home
7. ARE YOU CRAZY
MIKE ,   ENGLAND   (10.06.05)
Professional assassins, you must be kidding. I didn't know that soldiers who protect innocent babies from being Sniper rifled by Muslim fanatics are assassins. MUSLIMS ARE GUILTY, THEY ARE THE ONES MESSING UP THE PEACEFUL WORLD. ALL THEY KNOW IS JIHAD THIS JIHAD THAT. Tell me this how come they dont help their own people, why when they are in need they just turn away like they did with the tsnami or why the muslim coutries are filled with a few rich at the top and everybody else is poor, why do they walk the streets with machetes killing each other.
8. where are these cases against arabs?
gedaliah   (10.06.05)
Anyone who has ben shot at by arab neighborhoods know that they can be found shooting from school playgrounds and nursery schools. Where are the complaints against that? Oh wait, in a dictatorship government a case like that will never be heard in court because the accusee will be hung for opposing military opporations. Mr. England, only in a democracy can these cases be heard. Do you know what goes on behind closed doors in the PLO controlled territories, Egypt, lebannon, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq....shall I keep going. The people you are trying to protect are in fact the biggest violators of human rights.
9. Gedaliah
MIKE ,   ENGLAND   (10.06.05)
What are you talking about? Behind closed doors in the PLO controlled countires they complain how the jews did this to them and that to them, if they get a flat tire it must be the jews fault. If there is a drought it must be the jews fault. Tell me how are these assasins, killers when after a women tries to suicided bomb herself, she fails but is injured these "assasains" take her into a hospital in the NEGEV and nurse her back to help and then she tries to blow up the hospital....who is the assasin......ARAFAT a great man HAHA he died of AIDS he was a GAY MAN who fondled little boys I bet they dont teach you that in GAZA, nothing was made of his mysterious death because he had to die a maytr....why dont you focus on your own internal problems and stop blaming jews for this and that,, take ownership in your own life,the jews were persecuted in the holocaust and less then 60 years later they have built a WHOLE COUNTRY that rivals any advanced country in the world why dont you use that as a model for developing your own country and stop blaming others.
10. OK, don't ask anyone to knock, just blow up the building.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (10.06.05)
Better the whole building is blown up with anyone inside than have a Jewish soldier die, or have a "palestinian" endangered.
11. the HIGH-COURT WORKS FOR PALESTINIAN TERROR
(10.06.05)
12. those israeli arabs support the palestinian terrorist
Yair   (10.06.05)
13. The high-Court is a Leftist pro-arab gang
(10.06.05)
they prefer to see Jews killed by terrorists
14. Knocking on doors is dangerous.
Kevo ,   Miami, USA   (10.06.05)
The IDF shouldn't force these Palestinians to knock on people's doors. It's dangerous and innocent people have died doing this. The IDF should do their own dirty work and leave Palestinian civilians out of it.
15. mr england, we are not understanding each other
gedi ,   gush etzion   (10.06.05)
Miscomunication, I am not an Arab, I am a jew living in Judea...
16. Word of support for #1
ali   (10.06.05)
Donr worry England. You will hear alot of this garbage from SOME israelis who hate to be criticized. They will describe you as an arab or anti semite or...... They dont see beyond their noze. Israel is occupying Palestinian land. they will use what even method to serve their purpose, such as collective punishment, wall, settlements, steeling more land, ...that is the sad fact. Of course there are some good israelis who are against what their government and IDF is doing and one must give them credit for that.
17. long overdue
Nabulis   (10.06.05)
its amazing how this shameful and inhumane policy of using Paestinians as human shields to protect Israeli soldiers on their way to kill another fellow Palestinian is legalised in Israel. Those who endorse such criminal polices are nothing but war criminals and must be punished.
18. #10, Rather your home than a palestinian one!
al   (10.06.05)
I prefer your home is blown up rather than a palestinian one. At least uncle sam will build you another one. You are disgusting no doubt.
19. IT NEEDED A COURT RULING?!!! YOU HYPOCRITES!
Khaled ,   Amman, Jordan   (10.06.05)
damn israeli hypocrites! when saddam took some so-called "human shields" he was considered a psychotic terrorist, but when americans do it in iraq or jews do it in palestine it becomes a civilized tactic of war?! lol
20. DISBAND THE HIGH-COURT !!!
(10.06.05)
21. As always - YNET wants to make Israel look bad
Israeli ,   Israel   (10.06.05)
Human shields means taking someone and placing them in the line of fire - a shield. Asking a neighbor to knock on a door is likely to save lives...including (not that YNET cares), Israeli lives. I am sure that the soldiers are careful not to shoot the neighbor...and of course, I assume that this is a way of protecting a neighborhood when terrorists choose to live among them...but leave it to YNET not to condemn that action either. Never fails...if there is a way to make Israel look bad, YNET will step forward.
22. re: Human shield’ procedure banned
josef cohen ,   bkk thailand   (10.06.05)
Do we really need the high court to tell us something like human shields is wrong international law not withstanding. It is a sorry state of affairs when such basic things are actually opened up for debate and only end up up debasing a sociey which feels the need to argue such.
23. The High Court prefers terrorists to be dead
daniel ,   amsterdam   (10.06.05)
'Under the procedure, IDF troops instruct Palestinian civilians to knock on the doors of wanted terror suspects and ask them to surrender. ' Now they won't have that option anymore. The IDF will simply have to shoot them dead. This is better since dead terrorists cannot be released from jail in some false peace deal and then proceed to kill Israeli's again. It's also a lot cheeper.
24. Human Shields
Farouk ,   Jerusalem   (10.06.05)
Many have criticized the Palestinian fighters for operating out of neighborhoods in an effort to portray the Palestinians as cowards hiding behind civilians, now these posters are angry because the same privileged is taken away from the IDF. Terrifying logic.
25. I agree, we need o stop asking to knock on the doors.
(10.06.05)
We just need to call in the magaphone, "you have an hour to leave, we gonna blow this building". Whoever stays inside will suffer the consequences.
26. To # 21
Yonatan ,   Knoxville, USA   (10.06.05)
Being retired US military, #21 is very accurate in his description of what a human sheild is. Very well said Israel. Farouk, you aren't even close. There is NO comparison between what criminals like the Hamas do, and the IDF.
27. I prefer a live soldier in jail than a dead one in the grave
(10.06.05)
If that what it takes to keep our sons safe than so be it. The terrorists hide among civilians and use them as human shields and no one complains. The Palestinians hide the terrorists, thus they are terror supporters and should be arrested and their home should be demolished.
28. THE HIGH COURT DOES NOT WANT JEWS PROTECTED
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (10.06.05)
The IDF IS THE MOST MORAL AND ETHICAL ARMY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. The Islamofascists fight dirty and have no regard whatsoever for human life. The IDF repeatedly put their soldiers in harm's way. In extremely dangerous situations soldiers were placed on the ground instead of ariel bombing. Many IDF soldiers consequently lost their lives. Joseph is the beloved Bible hero of Jews and Christians. It can never be forgotten that an IDF soldier was allowed to bleed to death at Joseph's tomb. This precious IDF soldier was not rescued because Israeli leaders did not want to harm one hair on the head of the murderous Muslim mob. JEWS MUST HAVE THE HUMAN RIGHT OF SELF DEFENSE.
29. Certainly an illegal procedure.
Uzziel   (10.06.05)
Unworthy of the jewish law and ethics. Though the procedure doesn t equate to the blind violence of the fakestinians, because the terrorist behind the door has the choice not to shoot at his fellow arab settler. Anyway glad to see the procedure is to be banned because Tzahal and the rest of the forces, even if dispossessed of an useful security tool, have the means and the resorts to safeguard the security of our agents. And as a last resort we can always warn the inhabitants to get out and blow the place. Still their choice...
30. A lesson of Human Rights
Arab For Israel ,   Texas, USA   (10.06.05)
Respecting Human Rights and International Law is a priority for a great democracy like Israel and it`s the high court`s mission to remind everybody of it: Thanks for the respectable judges! As I can see through the talkbacks, fanatics, who do not value human life are not only in the Arab side...Daisy and Linda why don`t you go to Israel and change the composition of the high court?
