1. Israeli Terrorist Army (ITA)
Sam   (06.10.06)
Listen to this tragic seen.I wonder if any of U guys who is proud of IDF to kill this family in acool blood. May Allah shower his mercy on this family. I konw this family and I would not wish the same to happen to an Israeli family. All the guys who have posted to appreciate what this terrorist army is doing MUST look fairly to the picture and review thier minds if they still have some humanitarian feelings...
2. the shots were fired from a missle boat, not a gunboat az...
(06.10.06)
.....the bodies would definitely NOT be in one piece if the missles landed close by me thinks the kassam morons misfired their stupid missles there are sofisticated observation equipment on missle boats even using uavs to fly overhead of targets before firing these people lie all the time and blame eveyone for the screwups of their holy warrior morons who cant even shoot their own rockets straight
3. Boo Hoo
sk ,   USA   (06.10.06)
Given that the "Pals" lie constantly and enthusiastically support the murder of Jewish babies, teenagers at pizzerias, and so forth, why was Waked even allowed to interview this so-called civilian? Why does an Israeli newspaper give space to the "story"? Dehumanization of the enemy is necessary in war fighting. It can be carried too far, but these "Pals" are hardly human to begin with. They have a death cult. If this whole thing hasn't been staged, this is simply an accident. But it's an accident that occurred to "civilians" who, by their facilitation of terror, are not really civilians and are certainly not innocent. I am also wondering why Israel provided free medical care to these bums.
4. Do not be surprised
Palestinian ,   Palestine   (06.10.06)
I am sure the pro-israeli guys would have justification for that as usual, and you will see posts explain how it is the Palestinians fualt to go to the beach. They will justfy it as two or thee of those kids were going to carry a suiside bombing or they were going to launch missles !!!!!!!!
5. Awful
Killing Sucks   (06.10.06)
I really don't care what side they are on. That is really awful. Peace to All. And I hope the killing stops one day.
6. This the fault of Hamass. Why are Arabs so illogical?
Daisy ,   USA   (06.10.06)
You play with fire you are going to burned. Arabs voted for Hamass and this what they get.
7. These people celebrate the murder of Jewish children.
Daisy ,   USA   (06.10.06)
Hamass murdered these Arabs not the IDF.
8. To those who justify this murder...
(06.10.06)
You can have no complaints when Israeli inncoent deaths are justified.
9. Allah bless you Wiham
Ellen Prescott ,   Southsea, Hampshire   (06.10.06)
When I saw what had happened to your family, who were just enjoying a Friday picnic, tears came to my eyes. I cannot even begin to imagine what it feels like to lose your entire family in the blink of an eye. You are a warrior, a hero, a freedom fighter. And you have the condolences of me, my husband, and my two daughters. May Allah help you through these unbearable times. My heart aches in pain with you. Palestine, don't you cry! We shall never let you die!
10. I am saddened that they were killed.
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (06.10.06)
Innocent civilians should be safe from harm. I mourn the deaths of Palestinian civilians as well as the deaths of Israelis. The ridiculous thing is this. There is no reason why Gaza cannot have peace; Israel has left Gaza and has no interest in returning. There is no "resistance" in Gaza. There is only blatant, genocidal aggression against Israel. Gaza could have peace in a single day. All it takes is for the PA to say, "the conflict is over on the Gaza border. Only the WB remains in conflict, so "resistance" should be restricted to the WB. We call on all factions to end attacks on Israel from Gaza forever and use your talents to build a state for our people." Then it must enforce the ban on cross-border attacks. And that's all it takes. To anyone who wants to end pointless Palestinian bloodshed: WHY DOES THE PA NOT DO THIS? When the terrorists in Gaza stop firing 1000s of rockets at Israeli houses and schools, Israel stops responding. It's that simple.
11. Blame
David Johnson ,   Tel Aviv   (06.10.06)
they have no one to blame but their own leadership, if the palestinians would stop the firing of kassams agains sderot and its areas, this would not have happened. Israel is not to blame, Khan Younis should be completely leveled and wiped off the face of the earth. Enough is Enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
12. Source of artillery fire not determined
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.10.06)
First they (those trusty "Palestinian sources") said it was a missile fired from a Navy ship. Then they claimed it was a bomb dropped by the IAF. But there were no ships and no planes in the area. IDF of course has to investigate this just like they have to investigate every claim made by "Palestinian sources." A misfired Qassam exploded prematurely and hit the human shields instead of the Israeli kindergarten that was the real target.
13. Investigation and Explanation or Punishment
Russell ,   Miami   (06.10.06)
There needs to be an investigation and explanation justifying what happened or in the alternative and if warranted punishment of those whose gross negligence or willful misconduct caused these deaths. Accountability and morals are what separate us from the terrorists and animals.
14. STOP THIS HORROR!
Ramzi Sfeir ,   Bethlehem,Palestine   (06.10.06)
Stop this monsterous horror! You are dealing with human beings whether you accept it or not! YOU ARE DEALING WITH HUMAN BEINGS! You can't blame us ,civilians,for the suicide bombings taking place on your side and this attack of yours is just another proof that your government is looking for such attacks as soon as possible! Hamas declared the end of a truce that lasted quite long and was respected, it's your government's fault! As if anybody needed more blood and you know very very well that hamas is able of causing death! It takes one bomb in order to kill more and more innocent civilians that deserve to live decent lives whether they are israelis or palestinians !! you want to have a war, have it with your enemies the militants and leave civilians alone! This is HORRIBLE! Hamas or jihad don't represent all the palestinians but YOUR ARMY REPRESENTS YOU OFFICIALLY and THIS ARMY IS leaded by your leaders, your elected leaders! IF ANY OF YOU STILL HAS A HEART or SOME RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIVES, I ASK YOU TO ACT RIGHT AWAY IN ORDER TO AVOID A TOTAL BLOODSHED! After this attack, no israeli is feeling safe because hamas,jihad and PRC will surely reply somehow in israel and it will hurt , and on our side, as usual, after the eventual attack will take place, your army will invade us and the cycle will go on and on....Sharon's bloody method never worked and will never work! Sharon is gone now and his methods must vanish with him! ENOUGH VIOLENCE ! ENOUGH BLOOD! ENOUGH! I, RAMZI SFEIR,PALESTINIAN, CALL ON EVERY PERSON WHO CONSIDERS HIMSELF/HERSELF TO BE A HUMAN BEING to act Right away! Whether palestinian Or israeli ! ACT NOW AGAINST VIOLENCE ! If we all have a common enemy, IT IS VIOLENCE and i think that we should all unite against this unique enemy that is taking too many lives! WE SHOULD UNITE AGAINST IT! we all deserve a better life! Let's not turn this little piece of earth into a big piece of hell!
15. tragedy
yoel ,   switzerland   (06.10.06)
it's really a pity to watch sadness, and deaths for nothing. Just more suffering and sadness. I feel very sad for this girl crying because she lost her parents, and also because ther's no doubt about her family's innocence. I feel also sad for her because other palestinians decided to sacrify her for media purposes. I didn't see counterparts bringing her any support. She has been sacrified to foreign media just because she's another symbol of palestinians' suffering. And after what will they do for her? From this, I realize how palestinians hate us: they gave priority to pictures for outside, than ease her life after such disaster, and protect her. Even if targeted killings are subject to condemnation, they at least aim real responsible people, and not innocents. IDF should maybe stop firing at empty (supposed) areas. Unfortunately, there were many people this time. And we know the result today.
16. May Peace and love settele one day on this land
Aboud Hamayel ,   Palestine   (06.10.06)
Lets Change Everything, the way we live, the way we think, the way we look toward each other, let us change this world, if Arabs and Jews can live togather, then everyone can live togather.... Let us be humans, let us educate people,,,,, Let us Change the world.... these are the only words i could say, after crying this little girls fate, Lets change the World... Free Palestine
17. Dad died
Bachrach Andres ,   Kfarsaba il   (06.10.06)
Mrs.Ralia,we are very sorry about the fate of your family.No doubt that you are very angry of the belligerent situation.Believe me we would like also to end the current disorder.But I ask you,wouldn't be worthy to ask your warriors not to bomb dayli with their rakets the israeli towns?I promise you if your people would quit their attack, from the first day of quiet you all can sleep,or to go to the seeside and live undisturbed.Try it for a week and you will see. Andi hakfarsabai
18. War criminals
Perpetual_dream ,   Jerusalem   (06.10.06)
What happened was just unbelievable.... seeing the images on the palestinian television has really touched my feelings... I just can't believe an israeli execuse to kill a palestinian family, I feel that the images of the traumatized little girl who wiped infront of her dead father would last for ever &ever deep inside of me.... The israeli army is a brutal militia and all it's commanders but be to the war crimes court....
19. innocent people should not die!
Chris ,   los angeles, USA   (06.10.06)
As an american , am very much a die hard ffan of Israel, and stand firm on the existance of Israel and all of it's people. It still remains a mystery as to why this tragedy happend, but the loss of innocent lives and their families be it arab or jewish loss, does not clicl in my mind. i have no sorrow for the arabs that die while trying to demise the jewish state, and believe that Israel should eliminate them in masses, but killing innicent families in vain is unexusable crime. I feel for this little girl, and nothing that can be said here, can wipe away her pain. god bless her. Of course the only blame is on those so called "freedom fighters" or Hamas, Jihad etc, they allways provoke the Israel, then when this happens they display to whole world the pain, but recognizing the existance of Israel is not as easy as watching your own people die in a provocked scenario. What a shame? Arabs that live in Palsetine need to wake up from all of this and realize that their own are the real blame for all of their pain is in the hands of the arabs from Palestine not jews that they are trying to eliminate. DO NOT TRY TO ELIMINATE OR YOU WILL BE ELIMILNATED FIRST. Wake up arabs and make peace with jews and you will find the real answer to your problems. Agan may god bless the innocent that die on either side.
20. To #9 Ellen Prescott
John Ratcliff ,   USA   (06.10.06)
Ellen, palestine needs you and your whole family to join in jihad, they need more suicide "martyrs" and perhaps your kids would serve the purpouse. Ellen you r a supporter of terror, so live it. Palestinians need you today. And your promise to them they expect you to live up to. where do we send the airline tickets to? Put your money wher your mouth is. Allah be with u and your kids when they come here and strap on the belt to hell! May be just may be yopu can put the blame on the arabs themselves for waging the war of terror and may the selfmade rockets that they send into the wholy land did misfire"which has never happend before?" and kill all of those picnic goers in Gaza? is it possible? of course not they are all very much educated in handling explosives with "care". never thought of that did you. just blame jews for everything as usual. You must be married to a muslem to think like one. shame on you Ellen Prescot.
21. Gaza beach slaughter
Miriam ,   Kingston, NY   (06.10.06)
It is pitiful that some people respond to this horrible bloodbath by accusing the Palestinians in a racist fashion of liking to kill Israeli children, instead of being outraged that our Judaism is soiled by this butchery and disdain for human life. Shame on all of you.
22. Tragic
Jewish American   (06.10.06)
From a Jewish American who loves Israel: This is an enormous tragedy. How very very sad. I'm very sorry for this family. I believe most Israelis are saddened by this as well. Imagine if all the money spent for suicide bombs/missles/kassam rockets etc could be spent instead on medical research and infrastructure for education/ housing... for the Palestinians. Israel could then afford to help rather than have to constantly defend herself against attack. Teach your children to re-establish priorities for peace. Stop the blood shed.
23. Ask Me If I Care?
Adina kutnicki ,   US   (06.10.06)
The difference between the IDF and the PA terrorists is that the terrorists DELIBERATELY killed the Hatuel family(and many others) and even killed the unborn baby in her belly! On the other hand, the IDF did not target any civilians. As far as I am concerned they should. An eye for an eye would certainly make the Pals beg for 'peace'. Nevertheless, Ynet & other bleeding hearts (but only for terrorists, and not for Jews) will try and garner sympathy for the 'victims'.
24. # 3 sk, USA : WHAT A LOW LIFE
(06.10.06)
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY JEWS ARE HATED
25. No pity, no sorrrow, "pals" send qassams, kill their people.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (06.10.06)
arafat started the infatada, ham-ass, islumic jugheads, fartahs want to kill all Jews, not live in peace ever. There is no "peaceful" islam, only a violent cult of barbaric freaks who want to blame all their failures on the Jews. If the "palestinians" want to stay alive, they should put ham-ass, islumic jugheads and fartahs in jail. But they won't, they hate the Jews more than they love their family and life.
26. Ramzi; You threatended to kill me hypocrite!
Daisy ,   USA   (06.10.06)
You talk about how everyone is a human being but then go around threatening the life of people. Jerk!
27. Arab phony "Palestinian"; It's the fault of Hamass.
Palestiniansareamyth ,   Bethlehem, Israel   (06.10.06)
28. #18; The Idf didn't kill this family on purpose.
Daisy ,   USA   (06.10.06)
Unlike Hamass who brutally murdered four little girls by shooting them in the face. Where is your compassion for them?
29. Arabs lie. Hamass probably killed this family.
Daisy ,   USA   (06.10.06)
Parts of these accusations don't add up. I don't trust the Arabs period!
30. To the complaining idiots
Albert   (06.10.06)
Where have you being when Palestinians are firing rockets daily indiscriminately targeting Israeli civilians. Finally when Israel retaliated you woke up and started screaming. The hypocrites and cowards are shameless. No-one in Israel celebrates the death of innocent people - Palestinians do but don't you try to blame Israel for what happened. Israelis left Gaza but Palestinians persist with rockets so stop complaining when you get the same medicine.
