1. Egyptian rescue forces took long time to reach scene
Arie ,   Afula   (08.22.06)
Of course they did! It was their opportunity to kill a few more Israelis without firing a shot. Whether arabs or jews, isralismust wake up to the egyptian reality and find other spots to spend their vacations in!
2. why have you not soldiers to watch about people?
schulz ,   bad germany   (08.22.06)
Why have you not soldiers to watch about people? There are not closed borders? Why have you not other security to watch over them?
3. at every time
schulz ,   bad germany   (08.22.06)
at every time, when my parents... are at holyday... (arab or european states) they had security by their travel---business! (and this are normal life... and not crisis-situation) Please it is important to watch over all things at life!
4. More Proof Of the Lack of Care for LIfe
emanon ,   USA   (08.22.06)
Egypt is suppsedly a civilized country. How could this happen?
5. #2/3 schulz
Meggie A ,   Israel   (08.22.06)
Please realise, if they wont let emergency help in to save lives, do you think they will let Israeli security. If they (egypt) were not so stubborn and suspicious, and allowed in help from the Israeli side, they would see that it is only to help. Thats Israel! Wishing those that were injured a speedy recovery.
6. But..but..Israel is bad.
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (08.22.06)
Members of the Juhoumis family, who were taken to a local hospital, returned to Israel furious. "The situation at the hospital is terrible. People have no water…there are no sheets on the beds, the bathrooms are smelly – the sight is simply shocking," one family member said. "People are lying on the hospital's floor, it's simply unbelievable. The wounded told the Egyptians they want to cross into Israel to get treatment there, but the Egyptians didn't agree." "Nobody helped us at the scene either," another family member said. "People died at the scene because there was no help. Foreign tourists from Europe helped us rescue the wounded. What happened there is a disgrace, with all the injured children around…this is the last time we're traveling to Sinai." But Arab states are better than evil Israel! We want to live in "palestine!" Egypt supports us in our struggle, surely they know about "statehood" and how to run one, no?
7. #4: "a civilized country"
Ephraim Rauch ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (08.22.06)
Look at the most important Egyptian newspapers Al Ahram, Al Akhbar, Al Gomhouriya. The caricatures of Jews are generally on the first page. Read the articles about Zionism and about Judaism. Egyptian journalists are great experts on Zionism and Judaism. If you do not read Arabic, go to any bookshop in Egypt. Inside the bookshop, ask:: "Where are the books on Judaism?". Even if you do not read Arabic, you will understand the pictures. Some civilization.
8. Sad but...Ynet Keeps Attracting Trolls...Ask Yourselves Why?
Brana Lobel ,   USA   (08.23.06)
It is sad that these people were killed and injured in this way. I will not add to the range of reasonable comments that have been made. However, the "troll" factor is rampant here; note the comments by "Shulz". Ynet staff, you have to take a look at your editorial policies, how you cover news, how you respond and to what, and what you print. You make fun of and criticize some very serious Jewish issues in the name of a spurious "evenhandedness". What does this get you? Visits from trolls like "Shulz" and the numerous jokers who list Israeli towns as being in "Palestine", defend Iran and Hizbollah, make absurd requests, and other outrageous people. A lot of this is due to your reporting which tips too much in the wrong directions.
9. Why the h*** don't you stay at home??
Halldor Halldorsson ,   Iceland   (08.23.06)
Please stay at home and don´t travel anywhere. It's best for everyone!
10. And Israeli arabs yell'"death to the Jews"?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (08.23.06)
I am not saying that those people involved in this accident did that,but let the arabs appreciate the state of Israel.
11. you jews complain too much
wolf ,   usa   (08.23.06)
What did you expect to happen? They will just drop everything and run to you precious jews? Shut up.
