john   (03.04.06)
Some israelis are getting away with murder..Lock them up for ever
2. Clever move, there, Haim & Violet
Joan ,   Haifa   (03.04.06)
Did they really think they'd have *more* of a chance of getting their kids back after this?? I wonder why the State took them away in the first place.
3. I guess their excuse justifies the actions...
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (03.04.06)
LOL :-) Shalom all.
4. ok ok !
Ali ,   Canada   (03.04.06)
When it is us, it is an act of terrorism ! when it is them, ohhh well let us see what the motives are.....etc... These Zionists who are occupying other people's land will realize sooner or later that they are living in a great mistake and sin....but unfortunately for them...it will be too late ...because they will either Kill each other or distroy themselves
5. For all of you muslims having fun with this...
Yonatan ,   USA   (03.04.06)
Lets put it into perspective... They DIDN'Tcarry in BOMBS, they were firecrackers. Yes, what they did was wrong and stupid. They need to be punished. Let me add (again) I never had a problem with the muslim people, I have a problem with terrorists and fanatics. I don't care what religion they are.
6. Nazareth church attack
Shaf ,   London   (03.04.06)
Yes Haim, you appear to be totally level headed and secure to have custody of children. Well done.
7. #3 and 4
Linda   (03.04.06)
You and your people are so holy and good; forgive me for being a Jew! Shame on me! I will now put on my jihad burka and start being Muslim! Forgive me Father, for I have sinned Mea culpa, mea, mea maxima culpa. What excuse do you brother(I am you sis now) have you for what muslims did to a church last time in g-d knowes how many places and not because they had the story of this sick men but just out of hate for christian people? Jews distroy themself? I agree with you, but you will go with us to hell my brother ;)
8. Haim and Violet
aline ,   Israel   (03.04.06)
What is this talk about "us"and"them"?Haim is jewish his wife is a christian Arab....They are just a very mixed up couple who have done a very silly thing which helps noone,and certainly not themselves.After what they have done,they will probably go to jail and their children won't be returned to them
9. TO ALI
PILPELET ,   H ISRAEL   (03.04.06)
WHEN ITS US ITS AN ACT OF TERROSIM...........YOUR WORDS THE DIFFERENCE IS YOU USE THE REAL THING NOT FIRE CRACKERS........BUT IM NOT SUPPRISED YOU DONT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.............JUST DONT HANDLE THE FIRE WORK DISPLAY AT YOUR WEDDING OR BIRTHDAY PARTIES ..........ON SECOND THOUGHT DONT LET ME STOP YOU.
10. To Ali, Abdullah and John
Yusef ,   Nazareth   (03.04.06)
Wow, you guys actually sound upset that a right-wing, racist group was not behind the attack! Personally, I am happy that the people who threw the firecrackers were just a nutty Jewish-Christian couple.
11. Church Attack
Richard Snouffer, MD ,   Alabama, USA   (03.04.06)
As a Christian, I urge all to offer forgiveness to Haim and Violet, and to offer prayers to G-d for their consolation and for healing of mind, body and spirit. Christians and Jews MUST love each other! We worship the same G-d, who created all that is seen and unseen. The only difference between us is that Christians believe that He has already fulfilled His promise to the Chosen People and has already sent the Redeemer. Jews still await His coming. In other words, you wait for the Messiah to come--we wait for Him to come BACK. We are both G-d's children. We both worship the One to whom all praise, glory and honor belong. He wants us to love each other. Outpourings of hate or unforgiveness between us cannot and will not please Him. May G-d bless you, keep you safe, and may we one day all praise Him together!
12. To Ali #4
Josh ,   Jerusalem   (03.04.06)
You seem to be having trouble differentiating between acts of terror and acts of stupidity. The difference is that when it is "us", a couple idiots throw some fire-crackers that make loud noises and startle people (I am not condoning this at all). But when it is "you", the aftermath looks like a scene from a Freddy Kruger movie. That's the difference between us, get it?
13. I FORGOT TO ALI
PILPELET ,   HSRAEL   (03.04.06)
ISNT KILL EACH OTHER AND DESTROY THEMSELVES THE SAMETHING JUST.......A THOUGHT
14. To All from Ali
Ali ,   Canada   (03.04.06)
I am glad because most of you are being defensive and in a state of denial ,this means that you guys are ashamed of yourselves and can not realisticly explain the terror that took place in the Plastinian church.....Once a person loses common sense and logic he/she starts hallucinating :)
15. To Linda
Ali ,   Canada   (03.04.06)
I have noticed that you always actively participate in expressing your ideas and your love for this zionist state....one question for you ...why are you living in New York ????????? what are youdoing in NY.... why do not you go and live with your fellow zionists in Palestine ?.....Enjoy !
16. mixed up couple of nuts
Hilda ,   USA   (03.04.06)
What we have here is a welfare couple. Just because the father happens to have been born Jewish makes this such a big news story. He chose to marry a Christian Arab so he made his bed. Let him lie in it. He foresake his Judaism and the family don't deserve to live in Israel. Let him go to work and support his family.
17. TO ALI
PILPELET ,   H ISRAEL   (03.04.06)

18. A response to clarify one important Issue!
Abdullah ,   Kuwait City   (03.04.06)
I have no problems nor do I hate Jews or Israelis, I respect all people equally and I do appreciate human life! If there is one thing I hate, its terrorists and terrorism, no matter if they were Jew, Christian, Muslim, or any other religion! Saying that we must also agree that if the person who used a firecrackers happened to be an nutty Arab Israeli carrying his nutty firecracker attack on let's say the wailing wall in Jerusalem, I assure you that the Israeli police or IDF won't hesitate for a second to center a bullet into his forehead and by the time they find out that he or she was a nutty Arab Israeli, it would have been too late and he or she would have been six feet under but of course those Israelis were fortunate Jewish Israelis who are treated with respect and softness unlike their fellow non-Jewish citizens! Now can anyone argue against that fact? Shalom.

Linda   (03.04.06)
Me in New york? I don't live in NY, I am living in ISRAEL? I would love to visit palestine, but where is it, cannot find it on the map. But why are you in Canada? The fifth column?

21. To Linda
Ali ,   Canada   (03.04.06)
I am in Canada because of people like you ! I am orginally from Haifa. Some terrorists(bloody zionists) came in our city in the fourties and killed some of my grandfathers and forced the others out of their land.
22. nutty couple
Hilda ,   USA   (03.05.06)
50 years ago my husband and I spent out honeymoon visiting Nazareth. It was right after TishaB'av the fiirst chance we could get married. It was so hot--no air conditioning back then and the grotto of the Churtch was the coolest place in the country. The French nuns who took care of the church were extremely cordial and showed us around . They knew we were Jews from Israel and it didn't bother them a bit. I do hope these nuts did nothing to spoil the good relationship that these fine people have with the State of Israel. As I understand it they were alied with the Palestinians and only wanted to make trouble for Israel.
23. LOL OOOh PLease
Farhan ,   Kansas City MO,64119   (03.05.06)
When is it not justifiable to call someone that is a terrorist when someone brings harm to innocent group of people and blowing up a firecracker, which is what a explosive device including gas cannisters hhmmm But nooo wait I forgot he is trying to get his kids back. Why do some people use bigger bombs maybe they dont have the chance to get there kids back , SO that is there way of expressing F everyone and everybody. Serious sign of dessperation
