31. Winners
Unknown   (12.05.05)
Israeli Right wing and extremists are the biggest winners of this Plestinian people are the biggest losers, so can we ask the big question: WHO IS REALLY BEHIND ALL THIS??
32. Erekat is a dangerous type of liar
hiram ,   tel aviv   (12.05.05)
PA negotiator Saeb Erekat called on the Palestinian factions not to "play into the hands of Israel and get drawn into its provocations, providing Israel with achievements in its fight against the Palestinians." (Ali Waked) Erekat ( who also stole money from the Palestinian people in arafat's days ) is a dangerous type of liar. Under his " westernized " attitude, he is nothing but a mouthpiece for terror organisation... Accepting him in his role as a so called " negociator" will not yield anything positive. If he was indeed a " gifted" negociator, we would have know that LONG ago. He is nothing else than an " official" relay for Palestinian propaganda and an Islamic fanatic who still believes that Palestinian people think highly of him....
33. netanya
stanley ,   bnei dror   (12.05.05)
pay them back in their own coin. bomb (2)two vegetable markets in the arab cities during the mid day. they don't care for our children, I don't care for their children. It's NOT collective punishnent.
34. Likud and the right is down, Islamic Jihad to the rescue
Unkown   (12.05.05)
35. Disengage from Netanya!
Dudu ,   Kfar Sava   (12.05.05)
It is obviously too difficult to defend this settlement. How many more of us should die for it? In anycase, Netanya has very little Jewish history. Disengage now !!! Vote Kadima
36. To Abdullah, Kuwait
Gabor ,   Budapest, EU   (12.05.05)
You told: "Israel do not distinguish between militant or civilian Palestinians" Where did you take this information from? Al Jazeera News ??? So, I understand it! "Innocent" Palestinians (even children) go out to attack IDF military trucks, convoys, mobs... In an area of military situation where radical Islamists manipulate their Muslim brothers and seek refugee in civilians' houses, no wonder if Arab civilians die. Keep "your" children at home and don't teach them to kill!
37. Time for the Ramallah Gov't to be held responsible
(12.05.05)
38. Who's fault
Unkown   (12.05.05)
I'm an ordinary Palestinian with an ordinary life. how this attack will affect me? 1. Now I'm not feeling safe for my personal life because of any possible Israeli retaliation 2. I've lost a lot of mony in the share market drop soon after the attack 3. I have to suffer returning home from my work in Ramallah to my home town due to the checkpoints 4.two of my brothers will not go to work in Israel for an unknown period of time so I have to give them mony to feed thier children So how posiibly could I benifit from this? how could I be responsible for this in any way????
39. Damascus Islamic Jihad HQ should be smoking
shlomqq ,   Australia   (12.05.05)
By tomorrow, IAF planes should have flattened the terror HQs in Damascus and vaporized Iran's nuclear aspirations. what is the price of this Jewish loss of life? Another cobra helicopter attack on a metal workshop...will that suffice to bring justice to this ghoulish attack??......attack the source and strategy, not the tactical plebians!!!
40. #25 maybe they will. #31 you are hopeless
Howard ,   Pacific Coast USA   (12.05.05)
#25: It has happened before. What's your point? I don't see you condemning or regretting this murder either. Do you? Israelis apologized for killing the young organ donor. PIJ in contrast "takes credit" for this multiple murder. The young organ donor's family are exceptional human beings. They are probably angry at PIJ for doing this. Do you think so? #31: Idiot. The big losers are the people who were murdered and injured. The only winners are the members of the Syrian and Iranian regimes and the PIJ gangsters they pay to send naive idiots to murder civilians. You have no grasp on reality, you know that? You are so obsessed with hatred of Israel that you have invented a fantasy land in which Palestinian terrorists, who make a business out of doing this, are innocent angels, and Israelis murder themselves. Never mind that the Palestinian terrorist gangs do this all the time (it's the only reason why they exist). You ever hear of Occam's Razor? But then, you are just posting your rubbish to tick people off and increase the misery of this crime. Good going, hero (NOT).
41. Picture of suicide bomber
Zeev and Kayla Brodk ,   Jerusalem   (12.05.05)
Why is it necessary to show picture and name of a murderer in a sucide bombing? Their names should be erased and not be counted among the victims. Showing their pictures just glorifies them.
42. To Jul from Paris
Mami ,   Palestine   (12.05.05)
I do not know how updated you are, but the Internet we have in Jenin and everywhere else in Palestine is supplied by a Palestinian Telecom Company. It has been in operation for more than 12 years. When Bezeq was in control Palestinians had wait months to get a phone line, (90% of applications were rejected). As for this act of terror, just give me the name of any country or authority in this world which can prevent a guy from blowing himself up. Let's not over-react and hope for better days.
43. to #38
Alex ,   Israel   (12.05.05)
"how could I be responsible for this in any way???? " You definitely are responsible. Cause you are asking your questions on the net, instead of rolling your monster leaders off the power. Who blames terrorists?! Those thousands going to terrorist's funerals?! You are lying to yourselves. Stand up tall. Open your mouth. Tell all you said here to your own people. Wipe those criminals out. Out of TV, radio, schools, government... We are to help you. You are scared by militants, so sit quiet, until we solve your problems our way. Cause we have no other choice.
44. to #38
Alex ,   Israel   (12.05.05)
Sorry, I missed one more point... You were even afraid of putting your name here. As you would be blamed and executed as collaborationist by your own people.
45. #22 Abdullah
Howard ,   Pacific Coast, USA   (12.05.05)
Abdullah, thank you for your sentiments condemning murder of civilians. I agree with them. The IDF does distinguish between civilians and terrorists, but it is not always perfect in execution. It is hard to be perfect when terrorists hide in the midst of civilian populations (which is the same reason why Palestinians are killed in crossfire between rival terror gangs in Gaza as well). If Israel did not distinguish between terrorists and civilian, it would simply flatten Gaza with artillery. This is what *Syria* would do; Syria murdered 20,000 of its own citizens in Hama because *it* does not distinguish, and Syria uses Islamic Jihad to blow up shopping malls because it does not distinguish. Israel *does* distinguish. This does not mean that the Palestinians in the WB should be happy; I know they are not. I do agree that 2 wrongs don't make a right, and I hope that when Israel takes out the murderers who sent this lunatic, ONLY the terrorist gangsters (who, let us not forget, are also blowing up the Palestinians' own dreams of a future state) get killed. You are an honest and compassionate person, Abdullah, and you make sense, even though I don't agree with everything you say. In particular, your condemnation of these horrible acts help us to remember that not every Muslim believes that it's okay to blow up shopping malls filled with innocent civilians. G-d grant that other people in the Muslim world learn from you.
46. Wrong...
Abdel ,   Nablus, Palestine   (12.05.05)
This bombing is flat-out wrong, and Inexcusable... My condolences to the families.....
47. I don't blame you
To Jul from Paris ,   Jenin   (12.05.05)
I really do not blame someone who still thinks that Bezeq still works in Jenin. This only shows how much your knowledge and info are relevent to the days we live in now. I advise you to read more history books:)
48. #25
ely ,   usa   (12.05.05)
are you killing us for organs?
49. Prediction: Israel will hit back hard
Shuki   (12.05.05)
The electorate is watching. If Sharon doesn't order a severe response, his chances of bringing swing Likud-leaning voters to his party and winning the election are greatly diminished.
50. Re: why do terrrorists rule?
tirzah ,   hadera   (12.05.05)
Last July we were all schocked. Now I am numb. As long as we do nothing to stop terror, they rule us all. Time governmeant to do what we did in 1967. Send back all to Jordan and Lebanan and Syria. We need safe home. We need life. Sharon is wrong.
51. muslims.
(12.05.05)
muslims will fight for they believe in. They are willing to talk, but if they feel injustice, they'll fight it through. Similarly does the west. The west fought its war against Nazi Germany, Rebelious Iraq, Stern Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc. These wars were Jihad but were given different names. Now why do we worry about the concept of Jihad if it is "fight the agressor" call. We all believe in this. The questions is, if it is the muslims who are the agressors, talk to them to stop aggression, if they do not, crush them. Fight them, pulverise them. If they are not, then crush whoever is the culprit. Simple equation. if two groups believe in different things, each side believes the other is aggressor. Let them fight it through. I think israel should not complain, just fight them if you believe in your goodness and righteousness. If you believe you are not the aggressor, then they must be the ones. Crush them, do not put it on jihad and use your own name for the same practice!!
52. to number 13
(12.05.05)
Muslims' holy war is against aggressors. If you take their lands, you'll be hit, and they prefer death rather than humiliating life. i know you cannot understand this. You must prefer slavery life to death. Anyway, muslims do not want to kill anybody. They have absolutely great christian friends, jewish friends, seikhs, buddhists and so on. It is just your hatred that is pushing you to say this. Muslims do not teach hatred to their children, only in your dreams. Islam welcomes everybody who embraces it, and respects everybody who does not. You are free to believe what you believe, and do whatever you want, as long as you do not occupy people's lands, or apply agression towards other innocents. Get a life!
53. Re: Time for closure.
Chanan   (12.05.05)
Even with all the terror alerts, with the calls for peace negotiations and with upcoming election furvor, there is still no direct means in place to prevent the lives of our people from being terrorized, maimed and virtually held prisoner in our own homeland. The only way to stop these chalaria is to bomb them out of existence once and for all. Sharon is a wimp, still thinks he is young enough to fight. Condi Rice cares not one iota for us, so why listen to her at all? And, USA only thinks of itself in Iraq as well. Only time we have ever been successful is when we took the bull by the horns ourselves. HAKOL BI'DEI SHAMAYIM, folks. But, we must do our part too. May this be the last despicable act for which we do not respond meekly. WE NEED CLOSURE!
54. GET REAL
Palestinian   (12.05.05)
Do you all think that these discussions are going anywhere???????? There is not even any kind of respect for anyone speaking. Do you all think that you want peace????!!!! Well ill tell you what... from what i read i can see none of you is intersted in that. Try to put urselves in other people's shoes. And specially you # 43. Many Palestinians are even condemning this act even though we all know that its a reaction for occupation. But still we are against it. What about the Israeli side? All acts of making the Palestinians suffer on a daily basis are viewed as justified from the Israeli side. I guess if the Israeli side keeps thinking this way, we will never get to the peace we are all looking for .
55. Coupon for #38 free mental exam. He thinks Jews did it.
(12.05.05)
56. The BBC
Lior ,   London   (12.05.05)
Yet again, yet again, the BBC, in its reporting, on its website and on CEEFAX, is holding those reponsible for this atrocity as "militants" and not terrorists. Don't worry, I've phoned in again and complained. Spoke to that nice Scottish man again. I am now going outside to whistle in the wind.
57. Shoot first ask later
MIKE ,   USA   (12.05.05)
Israel should adopt a shoot first ask questions later for suspected suicide bombers that do not stop on the first call.
58. BOTH SIDES STOP KILLING
Arik Silverman ,   Milwaukee USA   (12.05.05)
Time for Israel to stop killing Palestinians as well as Palestiinians stop killing Israelis. The Israeli government can stop all its killing tomorrow. The Palestinian Authority needs a lot of time to gain control of its territory. Just consider that Israel won't even allow Palestinian police to carry guns in most cases. The US had to threaten in order to get Israel to allow bullets to come in from Egypt. REMEMBER: Israel can break the cycle. The Israeli government has absolute control over IDF IAF and Shin Bet. Stop the "arrests" that lead to killings. Retaliate for Kassams, but stop targeted killings and West Bank raids that lead to deaths.

60. Israael Provoked this Attack
Reality Check ,   USA   (12.05.05)
simply by it's existence. The weak response and excuses undermine Bush's attempt at a strong military answer to terror (and provokes more attacks), no wonder American support for suicidal Israel is waning, you are a terrible example of how to win this war. War is not fair and someone has to lose. Will it be the silent supportive and often complicit pali public & authority, or continue to be Jewish civilians?
