31. clock ticking for FADI - better learn PARSI NOW !!!
aaron ,   ra'anana   (11.22.06)
32. How ridiculous
Cynic ,   USA   (11.22.06)
Sure, just go arrest them. That is like telling the US just go arrest Bin Laden.
33. The element of surprise? Lost in the PR war.
D- ,   San Diego, USA   (11.22.06)
In the PR war, the Islamists are obviously very far ahead. Without warning, discussion, or complaint that there was no warning or discussion, from the press, Islamists can terror bomb, send missiles, subvert by establishing populations within other populations. No one else can do any of this (except the latter). Israel, in particular, is losing the PR war so badly that it must call an enemy operations base, that it is about to return fire on (be that a home or whatever), a few hours in advance to warn anyone there to leave.
34. Fadi...Barbaric?
BJL ,   Appleland USA   (11.22.06)
Barabaric? Okay....How about the Islamic crimes in Darfur? Algeria..Syria by papa Assad, Jordanian against Palestinians, Iraq, Iran..Hizbullah in LEBANON. Islam is leading the pack in war crimes against humanity. I just listed millions of deaths and war crimes. Clean up your own filthy murderous blood soaked arab lands, then you can complain about Israel defending itself.
35. "Human Shields" are taking their own
Charles T. Brown ,   Gray Summit, USA   (11.22.06)
lives in their own hands. They do not deserve the restraint that Israel has shown so far. These people are just terrorists in waiting...if they support terrorists then they are no better than terrorists....Israel should not hesitate the next time. They should warn them of the strike, then they should bomb them...the "shields" should be destroyed like the home, all they do is contribute to the terrorists agenda. They are no better than the terrorists, and I for one would not cry at their funerals
36. No advance warning
enzo ,   london,uk   (11.22.06)
The IDF shouldn't give them any advance warning! This is the problem. Go and hit them hard so they learn the lesson once and for all.
37. You are all sad.
Theo ,   Sweden   (11.22.06)
Am I the only one who finds it bitterly amusing that not a one of the people writing these talkbacks have any regard for human life? You're all preaching some kind of "Kill them so I can live in peace" kind of morality. It's these things that keep our world full of wars, grief and intolerance.
38. peace activists
fish   (11.22.06)
from all angles gaza should be a closed military zone, and any foreifner who ventures there must be fully responsible for his own life, so idf shouldn't refrain from hiting any target no mater if they're protected by useful idiots from the west. let them better go darfurm and protect truly inccoent civilians there. or, i forgot, there're no pubs there, no fun, that israel can offer...
39. # 14
(11.22.06)
fadi comes to this site because the IDF destroyed his house ,so he's got nothing to do .You see !! what to do !:)
40. The Priest & The Nun & What Price They Should Pay
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.22.06)
Let the shit hit the fan, and let the priest and the nun get caught up in it. If these wayward Christians want to become human shields then so be it. They can always stand in the middle of a field in S'derot and protect Jews. They DON'T and they WON'T do that. The question to be asked to them is, why the hell not??
41. In defence of Fadi # 19
Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.22.06)
One can reiterate here that the YNET news website is a public website. Unfortunately for Debra, there are no rules as to the ethnicity of peole posting responses here - therefore Fadi has every right to write his opnions hear. One might add, for Debra's benefit, that the very nature of a newspaper is that it prints/publishes stories with which not everyone agrees. This pathetic Stalinist whinge, that you repeat again and again, against people who are a) not-Jewish, or b) have different opnions from yours - not being allowed to write their opinions simply shows you up as a monolithic and highly idiotic neo-Stalinist. As with a TV station - if you don't like the views that people express, don't read them. Furthermore, part of the ongoing process of debate is to hear views with which you don't agree and to try and work out how opposing views can be reconciled. However, it is obvious from your postings that you wish to turn YNET into some little shtible in a shtetl where only Jewish people can sit around cluck-clucking at how awful the world is without investing one gramme of brain-power into thinking about any of the subjects raised. Post #19 is pitiful, pathetic and sophomoric. Just get on with participating in the debate, ya habibti, and give up trying to silence everyone. If you win your battle, you'll find that you're the only person writing, reading and enjoying the cacophanous sound of your own raspy and hideous opinions.
42. The World is United Against Israli Crimes
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.22.06)
43. IDF would shoot priest just as it did to the American Girl
Hani ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.22.06)
44. Collateral Damage, Not Our Problem
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (11.22.06)
If they want to get killed, it's their business. Our business is security, our security - not theirs. Holier-than-thou self-rightous hypocrites, their morality is a bunch of crap. Helping terrorists is the height of immorality.
45. Why do i feel FADI is a student at Hebrew University?
gabriela ben ari   (11.22.06)
46. #19 chill
RMSe17 ,   Gainesville USA   (11.22.06)
Oh please, give Fadi a break. The site posts Israel news, the talkbacks are open for a reason. It's called freedom of speech. If you don't want to see what he says, ignore his posts.
47. IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY
JUDAISM IS BURNING ,   ..............DACON9   (11.22.06)
HITLER JOINED WITH THE CHURCH WHO HIS HIS MONEY HIS STOLEN TREASURES FROM THE JEWS. and you say the church had to do it.. did it? is that rightous of the church to allow 12 million people murdered so a few xtians be left alone? then if i remember correctly hitler joined forces with THE ARAB GRAND MUFTI OF JERUSALEM WHO TAUGHT HITLER HOW TO WIPE OUT ALL THE JEWS.. SO WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE? A JOINING OF JEWISH ENEMIES ONCE AGAIN. JEWS..YOU DECIDE...... WHILE SEDROT AND ISRAEL BURNS
48. #20 H in Jerusalem
Rustum ,   London, UK   (11.22.06)
Since when did showing support for human rights become a capital offense? You say the IDF "should kill them all. They're all the same group of terrorists." It's obvious that you have never heard of the rule of law, the rules of evidence, the right to life, etc. Now if both sides were to prattle the same rubbish as you do, how would that impact on the residents of Jerusalem? It's obvious that you're not a Christian - but your Tchernihovskian lust for the brutal and murderous display of god's power, in the form of the IDF's weaponry, is distasteful and I presume upon second reading you will retract your call for the IDF to bomb innocent civilians and nuns.
49. Deciphering Fadi, "White Noise" and other Pali-speak
Chatich   (11.22.06)
http://www.eretzyisroel.org/~jkatz/turnspeak.html "The Arab League makes use of a cognitive technique of propaganda called 'turnspeak', where you attack someone and then turn it around 180 degrees and claim they attacked you. Because the truth is the exact opposite of the information being disseminated it is psychologically difficult to counter and leads to confusion." Turnspeak leads to psychological confusion and a feeling of being 'burned-out' or 'overwhelmed' with too much information, effectively creating a blanket of 'white noise' which makes clarity difficult to achieve." The masters of bullsh*t and lies, Islamists hide behind women and children with the specific intent of causing civilian casualties, then cry "Israeli massacre" to the world the minute somebody breaks a fingernail. Their biggest mistake is the assumption that the world can remain as gullible and ignorant as it has been of late. Take the power of false propaganda out of the hands of jew-hating scumbags like Fadi (hachaidak). Fight turnspeak, educate your friends and neighbors today!
50. Protect terrorists but not protect civilians in Sederot?
David ,   Boston, USA   (11.22.06)
how twisted are these people. Have they ever told the terrorists to stop bombing Sederot, which is a War crime? Hmm, makes you wonder about these people. She says she is opposed to Terrorists firing at Sederot, but what action has she taken to prevent it?
51. Pacisfists Save Lives
Brenna ,   South Bend, USA   (11.22.06)
Actually, many Jews lives were saved by pacifists during Hitler's regime. Just one example is the village of Le Chambon in France, which, by the end of World War II, had saved 5,000 lives of Jewish people by helping them to hide in their homes. In 1988, Israel’s Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial institute, hailed the wartime population of Le Chambon as among the “Righteous." A few residents of Le Chambon even lost their lives for their actions. If only there were more such people who were willing to lay down their lives for their friends, but who refuse to kill.
52. A comment to both sides
Chris ,   Canada   (11.22.06)
To those in favour of bombing the groups: When a soldier kills a civilian, should he and his family be executed? I think not, so use that same logic. It's a lot easier when they are faceless people labeled terrorists. Use their names at least, they are people despite what you think. To the anti-Israeli people: If someone was to pepper your town with rockets, you'd be a little pissed off to and demand your government take action, like the Palestinian groups claim to be doing on behalf of the Palestinian people. In closing: STOP THE RHETORIC! How about you all stop acting like young children and accept that each side holds its own faults, and work to fix it? Neither side is on the side of righteousness, so get off your high horses and end the bloodshed. This comes from a Canadian observer who is sick and tires of hearing of death and explosions in the Middle East, on BOTH sides.
53. Priest & nun--attn: Fadi
ernie ,   aventura, usa   (11.22.06)
Fellow human, Fadi, When you say world media manipulation, you unveil yourself as a victim of arab propaganda. Read the NYTimes to see how Israel is covered...and you will applaud. Watch the US cable news networks(CNN/MSNBC)for the pro-arab slant constantly. World media manipulation is a fairy tale that you've since birth........
54. Peace Activists indeed have shielded Israelis
Brian ,   USA   (11.22.06)
Christian Peacemaker Team members used to ride on buses with settlers from Hebron to Jerusalem. It saddens me that victims of this crisis have become so polarized that they can no longer see that to seek peace means to seek peace for all and nonviolence for all and to do that takes sacrifice, forgiveness and openness. No violence, no injustice, nor collective punishment is right for anyone. True Christians, like this Priest and Nun, stand for peace, justice, and equality for whom ever, where ever. No other path will ever lead to peace and reconciliation
55. I love you Rustom.
Libneniyyeh ,   Lebanon   (11.22.06)
Well said!
56. No: 45, You know Fadi is a Jew guy, we no stupied.
Atilla Karagözoğlu ,   Istanbul / Turkey   (11.22.06)
my first day here, I understand. Fadi is a Jew. he or she is trying have fun ... we no stupied. I can give my 3 months salary (money) if you proof to me he or she is not jew.
57. To Theo in Sweden
gabriel ben-abraham ,   dallas, usa   (11.22.06)
Theo, Israel is in the Middle East. That neigborhood is not Scandinavia. The Arabs have different values from Swedes or Jews. Stop being naive!! It is time for you European guys to understand that Israel is dealing with evil and evil can be fought only with force not words.
58. Gabriela #45
Amir ,   Duesseldorf   (11.22.06)
Maybe he reminds you of a boy you felt in love with but you never reached!?! @topic The jewish talkbacks here show in a very impressing manner, that the IOF is indeed cleverer as the folk it's representing by not firing on these civilians trying to save their homes from beeing bombed. If the IOF wouldn't fear the world condemnation, it would have bombed the houses already. Thats for sure. Every Army is a mirror image of it's society. And one could get a good view inti jewish-israeli Thinking here.
59. More Catholic hypocrisy
Sidney   (11.22.06)
They know very well that they are protecting terrorists and encouraging more terrorism.
60. ARREST AND DEPORT THEM
