1. Poor young man
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (05.20.06)
He had nothing to live for so he turned to violence. I hope the Israelis will show mercy to this poor boy and let him live his life without any charges. We all make mistakes!

show mercy to someone who came to kill innocent people? are you out of your mind? i wonder if you would feel the same way if someone came to stab members of your family while shopping... you're sick for sympathasizing with terrorists...

4. to Number 1
Drew ,   Israel   (05.20.06)
Poor Zacharias Moussaoui, He had nothing to live for so he turned to violence. I hope the Americans will show mercy to this poor boy and let him live his life without any charges. We all make mistakes!
5. To #2 and everyone else
Roni   (05.20.06)
Do not react to posts by "Ellen Prescott" - she is either a British nut job who collects food stamps or some 15-year-old joker who posts dumb remarks to get an angry reaction from other posters. On a side note - the guy carried his 12 inch knife in his UNDERWEAR?! That's a new one for me. Too bad he ruined it for himself - none of 72 virgins will have anything to do with a guy who had his "equipment" damaged if you know what I mean.
6. Ellen
(05.21.06)
Its that kind of think that has Britain overrun with violence and crime...but hey we all make mistakes... must be nice to live in your ivory tower and feel bad for all us plebs... Nope...he had a knife, and he came to kill (animus nocendi). That is the ingredients for homicide. Israel didnt do it, he did. He probably voted for Hamas too. He more than likely spent his childhood learning to hate Jews. He has been bolstered by Arab and European sympathizers (jew haters themselves...sorry I mean 'anti-zionist') and this is his way to a 72 virgin orgy in the sky. He may make a mistake but thankful the IDF doesnt...
7. Rules of engagement
Yoel Ariel ,   US   (05.20.06)
Yo Ellen! Answer up sweetie. Are you really Secular Sabra in drag?? Not going to break into "show tunes" are you? So, look. This "poor young man" never had anyone serious to tell him the facts of life. And that is: "NEVER BRING A KNIFE TO A GUNFIGHT. AS-HOLE!!" Now on to serious matters, like doing the dishes.
8. # 2 and 4
yakov shani ,   IL.   (05.20.06)
Ellen is having a good laugh, she got to you, that is all she wants to achieve, you fell for it. She enjoys getting under peoples skin.

And your mistake is thinking that you have anything to say. Keep making excuses, garbage-head. Your encouragement has cost many Jewish lives, which no doubt pleases you immensely.
10. Weapons in underwear
Mike ,   Atlanta, USA   (05.21.06)
Sounds like the IDF has justification to carry out sexually humiliating searches of Arab men and boys. Just a reminder, they might also stick closed switchblades into convenient orifices. Check for that in the women and girls too.
11. why prison him, dump him in sth. lebanon
Yisraeli   (05.21.06)
12. i came here to kill arabs
teif ,   dc   (05.21.06)
thats what an israel solider who had emigrated to palestian from the US told me the when i asked him why he had come to the other side of the world to serve in the army of a country he had no connection to. i ask you, which is worse?
13. ha! to all readers of ynet news
fsol   (05.21.06)
"ellen prescott" is obviously some dimwit with too much time on their hands. be smart and stop arguing or addressing it. imo ynet should ban this user's ip from the talkback section. as for this young terrorist wannabe piece of garbage, after the security services finish with him send him to guantanmo or something.
14. To all: Please ignore Ellen
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (05.21.06)
Please don't reply to Ellen until he comes up with a new name. He is probably nothing more then a school boy.
15. That is how they are raised!
Big news! ,   Another Arab killer!   (05.21.06)
16. #1 Dont wish a tragedy on you but
Roger ,   USA   (05.21.06)
if you ever experience a terrorist act please come back to tell us.
17. Ellen, you're so kind
Michelle   (05.21.06)
"I hope the Israelis will show mercy to this poor boy and let him live his life without any charges. We all make mistake!" You're absolutely right. I tell you what ellen, let's send this young boy to live with you. Perhapd with your love and understanding, you can teach this boy to become peaceful and non violent. Hope you have locks on your bedroom door.

Ah shucks those poor Arab murderers on 9/11 had nothing to live for. So big deal if they were having a bad day and crashed airplanes into a few buildings and killed a few thousand people in the process. Lets hope they were wearing seat belts at least and maybe we should start a fund to support their families.
19. "Ellen Prescott" is Funny + Anyone that Responds is a Moron
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (05.21.06)
20. Ellen prescott , all the respect to you...
aa ,   london   (05.21.06)
21. Wow that guy must have been horribly endowed down there if
Jonathan Levi ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.21.06)
he was able to stash a knife down there. Carrying a knife in your underwear? There is only one thing that I carry in my underwear and I never refer to it as a knife... (I think my girlfriend would slap me if she ever heard me referring to it as a knife). Come to think of it.... The Arab was able to fit a knife down there?? I think when he was getting intimate with his girlfriend he decided to whip out his tiny Mr. Wiggles and his girlfriend slapped him out of disappointment.
22. Anybody know what happens to guys like him?
Scott ,   Haifa   (05.21.06)
What happens I'd like to know to a young 'ali-achbar' type like this? Does anyone know?" What is the sentence for something like this, who isn't caught with a bomb vest, etc. - but maybe a knife and intending to kill or maim...five years, eight years, or is he turned loose to go try it again someday? It doesn't seem like you can reform someone like this without changing their religion or doing a labotomy.
23. Security guards
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.21.06)
I worked for almost ten years as a security guard and I have taken a couple of security courses.One thing we learned is you can open fire on a person who is going to attack someone with a knife. Too bad they do not send most guards to a course.To send someone for an hour to a firing range once a year or two is no help.
24. Response, #2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 13, 14, 17, 18
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (05.21.06)
#2, I am sure the young man was exceedingly distressed and simply made a wrong choice. Should he have to rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life because of this little mistake? #4, Mr Moussaoui has some psychological problems and thus deserves psychiatric treatment in an equipped facility. #5, You're a rather hateful man, to refer to me as a 'British nut who collects food stamps.' In England we don't have food stamps. I happen to have a very nice husband and two very beautiful daughters. Perhaps next time you ought to think twice before making assumptions. #6, All I am trying to say is, give the boy a break! He didn't hurt anybody. Send him to a psychologist, don't lock him up. #8, I do not make a mockery at people's livelihoods. #9, I applaud the freedom that I receive on this website to post my opinion, although I am sure many people do not agree with me most of the time. That is what democracy is about. #13, I am a dimwit who should be banned from speaking my mind because I suggest that Israel show mercy? You have got a very peculiar rationale. #14, I am a female and I have no reason to change my name. Where do you come up with this? #17, Apart from the language barrier, I see no problem with allowing that young man to come here and receive the necessary therapeutic treatment that he desperately requires. #18, For all we know, Bush may have had a hand in the 9/11 attacks.
25. #1 Sick Sick Ellen
Talula ,   Israel   (05.21.06)
I think that you are in need of some sort of surgical interruption to sever the small brain that you have, from the rest of your unsavory body. A lobotomy would help you. It would sure give us all a bit of peace and quiet. What a sad pathetic person you really are.

" locks on your door and a chastity belt "

yakov shani ,   IL.   (05.21.06)
Lobotomy,vasectomy,whatever,but please do something.
28. #27
Jonathan Levi ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.21.06)
Vasectomy would never work. If he were able to stash a knife down there then I have no doubt they would need a microbiologist to perform the surgery.
29. Post G-D's Laws At Shopping Malls, Bus Stations, Checkpoints
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (05.21.06)
...Restaurants, Schools, Pre-Schools, on Billboards on Streets and Highways, EVERYWHERE! Bible, Exodus 20: "You shall not murder" "You shall not commit adultery" "You shall not steal" "You shall not bear false witness" "You shall not covet" Exodus 21:16 "He who kidnaps a man, whether he sells him or he is found in his possession, shall surely be put to death" Leviticus 24:17 "If a man takes the life of any human being, he shall surely be put to death"
30. How did he even get into Israel?
Joel ,   New York, USA   (05.23.06)
and where is the security fence? Finish it already!!
