1. do it...and see what happens
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.29.06)
talk about dumb - with the army breathing down their necks and with the rest of the hamas leadership in israel's sights, i would suggest that they leave the boy alone. but, then again, the palestinians are world renowned for doing the absolute wrong and stupid thing in every situation.
2. #1
Reverend Hu Shakran ,   Jerusalem   (06.29.06)
Unfortunately, history shows us that it is unlikely that Israel will do anything if they kill him. The fact is that Israel suffers from a psychosis - it goes crazy if one of its members is held hostage but calmly accepts the death of an Israeli at the hands of the same people.
3. Violence only breeds violence...
moose ,   California-USA   (06.29.06)
This can all be resoved through honest negotations... Here in America people shoot one another for looking at each other the wrong way. Just imagine if you caught the guy that killed your mother? Violence is not the answer.
4. this whole affair was a result isreali inaction
(06.29.06)
5. IDF operation is not news in the UK...
mike ,   londonistan   (06.29.06)
UK has been numbed by islamic violence against its citizens.
6. True to form
Ice Dragon Britannia ,   UK   (06.29.06)
Sadly the Palestinians have probably already murdered the young soldier. The PA and their terrorist government is built on hostage taking and murder, it is not to be dealt with. Deal with hostage takers or a state built on it and you legitimise it. The only thing the Palestinians understand is what they use themselves, violence.
7. Obedient moslems always kill those they kidnap
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.30.06)
It's the religion of islam ,no mercy or compassion just lies and pathological liars. Ttats what they do best ,kill ,thats all they know ,the inventors of suicide bombings. Israel goes along ,playing the fool. Why Israel ever had the delusion that peace would come to pass between them and the Palestinian's reveals how easily they are fooled. The Palestinians have been playing their destroy Israel game with the help of the west form many years now . How many more kidnapped and ,murdered Israeli's before Israel ends this ? Israel needs a leader who is not a puppet and easliy restrained . CUT THE STRINGS
8. Death Penalty
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (06.29.06)
Big talk for a guy that is sitting in another country. These guys talk a big game because they know Israel will not execute any of them. That's why none of them resisted.
9. muHAMedan history show us
Arie   (06.30.06)
That the soldier is being abused and his future-with or without IDF rescue attemps-is bleak. muHAMedan history has shown us that one cannot negotiate in good faith with evil Let the IDF be the IDF and wipe the scum off the earth!
10. Middle Top... Is the false Beard
richard Hitchings ,   methil   (06.30.06)
but its a nice colour.
11. marcel,florida
Safia ,   Algerie   (06.30.06)
see marcel the inventors of suiside bombings were the japneese in the second world war,another thing ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF MERCY AND COMPASSION,need more education about islam,so if it was the case how do you explain after the attack of 9/11,many american converted to islam,don't judge their act you are not in the right place for that,understand??
12. #11
Carl ,   USA   (06.30.06)
"ISLAM IS THE RELIGION OF MERCY AND COMPASSION" This is a lie. When was the last time a Jew or Christian took hostages and cut off their head? Christian and Jewish Suicide bombers?? Havrn't seen too many of them. Nor do too many fly planes into buildings. It is also a lie about high numbers of Americans converting to islam after 9/11. That information was put out by muslim special interest groups with links to terror!!! Muslims should not just read the Koran, try reading an encyclepedia for a change. Learn some factual history for a change.
13. Release all the prisoners
Drew ,   USA   (06.30.06)
to an abandoned remote island in the pacific!
14. Hunt them down
Brod ,   USA   (06.30.06)
The IDF should hunt down the savages. Israel should never negotiate with the savages. The latter deserves the ultimate punishment.
15. shamor al halashon --pikuach nefesh
(06.30.06)
please guard one's language when a life is at stake.
16. I think he is already dead
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.30.06)
I believe he was killed as soon as he was captured, just like Asheri. The palesavages can't control themselves.
17. let HIM go
nell ,   switzerland   (06.30.06)
peace talks hanging on the innocent life of a 19 years old? what has the world come to be?
18. Simple solution...
Jeremy ,   Washington, DC USA   (06.30.06)
...to ease Palestinian woes: Free Gilad Shalit!
19. About #12 #13
Youssef ,   Osaka, Japan   (06.30.06)
#12 > When was the last time a Jew or Christian took hostages and cut off their head? True Christians or Jews and Muslims don't do that to innocent people. But I think you should read some independant news sources rather than the propaganda-tool Western mass media (CNN, Foxes , ...). Israelis and Americans kill scores of civilians from their F-16 Airplanes. They don't need to take hostages! Many people are converting to Islam after and before 9/11. I am in Japan and I know some Japanese who recently joined the religion of Abraham and Mohamed, peace be upon them. Peace to all peace and justice loving people!
20. #2 Post-9/11 America embraced Islam?
Stefano   (06.30.06)
I don't know where you're reading this stuff. Read what American muslims say: http://www.amperspective.com/html/four_years_after_9-11.html
21. Hamas abandons Islam?
Stefano   (06.30.06)
Just yesterday, the statement was: "For sure, he's in hands that will protect him and treat him well. Our morals and our religion dictate that we do this to every prisoner." Today, it's this: '"If you don't do what we want we will kill him." Hey Hamas, at least get a little organized so you can be consistent with your propaganda. How ridiculous you are.
22. Hamas wants everyone dead, based on lies.
David ,   Boston, USA   (06.30.06)
They have no honor, no history, no connection to the land. Peace wont happen until the Arabs go back to Arab Palestine east of the Jordan. End this experiment in creating another Arab Palestinian state. It has failed. They have had almost 100 years to have another and they dont want it so stop offering it. The most obvious time was 48-67 when the Arabs did nothing to create a second Arab Palestinian state. Its time for Israel to stop offering it. Finish the peace fence and keep the Arabs out. If they continue to attack Israel, turn their cities into ashes and send them back to Saudi Gammorah. If they start learning history, peace, and tolerance, Israel will be there hands cautiously open to welcome its neighbor.
23. to # 20
jason white ,   afula,israel   (06.30.06)
The have been many converts to the islam in the states even after 9/11. to # 19 piss on you.
24. #3 While Turning the other Cheek Islam..
Annie ,   USA   (06.30.06)
will sneak up behind you and whisper in your ear that you misunderstood the negotations. They wanted to kill you and put your family under Islamic Law. Not slap you.
25. #15 Oh, if only it were only one life at stake
Annie ,   USA   (06.30.06)
26. To Carl #11:
Ghandi ,   LA, USA   (06.30.06)
Here are some facts: Hitler killed 6 million Jews and he wasn't a Muslim? The two atomic bombs on Japan were dropped by which Islamic nation; how many civilians were killed deliberately by that act? Terrorist suicide bombings in Iraq daily kill Muslims not Jews or Christians. Are you in a war with Islam or with terrorists?
27. youssef,osaka
Safia ,   Algerie   (06.30.06)
ALLAH of all the RELIGIONS IS GREAT,thanks for the comment,may the peace and the mercy of god be upon ya
28. arab moslem blabber
dave ,   londonistan   (06.30.06)
why does it seem that EVERYTHING that moslems say is a lie? for example safia from algeria....who takes the time to come onto a JEWISH websiote and start preaching his lies. there are thousands of moslem websites where he can go and share his views, to be honest, we re NOT INTERESTED. "Many americans converted to Islam after 9/11" really? honestly? no really? you actually beleive that? the same way you believe Israle was responsible for 9/11. As intelegent people of the book, we jews find it laughable that every staterment that seems to come out of a moslems mouth is a lie. They are so insecure about their standing in the world that they just have to lie. can someone tell me.....If i feel im being oppressed, and in many ways I am by the massive amount of arab moslems who have invaded london and made it their home, cos of them taking SO much social security cos they re all lazy and have ten wives each MY own taxes are through the roof. I actually pay for their schoolong and healthcare, make you feel sick? it makes me feel sick! SO tell me, based on Koran, islam ,moslem arab mentality: If I feel Im being "oppressed" by the 4 million moslems in england who are "occupying" british lands with their filth, and I am financially disadvantaged and frustrated, based on the arguments put forward by halfwits like safia, would i be entitled to carry out a suicide bomb ona london bus? after all, Im frustrated! Im desperate! all my hard earned £££ are going to support ahmed and his 7 filthy wives and their 70 kids! you have to understand safia and co. the same way poor palestinians are "oppressed" and driven to the desperate step of "suicide" and just HAVING to take 20 innocent woman and children with them! on that basis,I am entitled myself to go to mosque in london and blow myself up? im frustrated! im desperatre! what option do you leave me?! none! how absurd does that sound? about as absurd as arab moslem islamist lies told every day! yet they shouted so loud, that the world, including the dumb americans believed them and gave their form of "justice" legitimacy it makes one sick to their stomach! may allah protect the world from the evil of the moslem and his filthy Koran

Wow - you have been reading far too much Melanie Philips drivel. a) if we have all been numbed by Moslem violence, then why don't you make 'aliya' - to the safest country on earth? b) "safia from algeria....who takes the time to come onto a JEWISH websiote and start preaching his lies." i) Safia is a female name ii) this is not a JEWISH website, but the website of an Israeli newspaper. As such anyone in the world can read it, and anyone in the world can post their own filthy contributions - viz your own lengthy Islamophobe drivel. iii) It is not up to you, motek, to claim racial exclusivity for a newspaper website. As with television, if you don't like what you read, change teh channel - i'm sure that there are some lovely kahanist, transferist, Jabotinskyite racist websites around which will pander much more beautifully to your Arabophobia. Your prejudices are MASSIVE. You seem to hate Arab Moslems "cos they re all lazy and have ten wives " - well, motek, why don't you take a drive to Gateshead or Golders Green and see the mirror image. It would be much more seemly, if instead of spouting your anti-Moslem likhlukh in long rambling hate-filled paragraphs, you might pick up a book and read something about the religion you so despise - there are lots around. You would then find that mainstream Islam is about as violent as mainstream Anglicanism - and that the extremist Islamic groups have their mirror images in the ADL and Kach. You would also discover taht there is a difference between Islamist movement and Palestinian political movements and that the two are not interchangeable as easily as you think. the rights of a dispossessed people will not simply vanish into thin air - for all your wishful thinking.

"The IDF should hunt down the savages" hardly the language of a civilised person. Or maybe you are suggesting that the IDF goes after Avigdor Liberman? the Kahanists? the extremist settlers in Hebron?
