1. I would say banish him to gaza
Arie ,   Afula   (12.08.06)
but the 'civil rights' groups would complain it was cruel and unsual punishment - for him.
2. Why should our tax dollars feed those those that hurt Jews?!
(12.08.06)
Just put a firing squad, its cheaper and less painful. One does what one gets. Eye For An Eye, A Tooth For A Tooth A Heart For A Heart If one kills another, one must act with vengeance and remove him from this world.
3. #1 haha funny enough its probably true

Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (12.08.06)
I wouldn't wish this type of person on my worse enemy. Capital Punishment Nothing worse then a rapist or a child molestor.
5. What an ugly face
Alan ,   SA   (12.08.06)
6. No thanks to the Israeli Police
(12.08.06)
7. sela capture
charles ,   petach tikva   (12.08.06)
As the man who arrested him the first time said : No chance for him not to be arrested again . His pictures all over the country attained their goal . Why not look for public help in other cases , as is done in many countries abroad via TV ? Many cases were resolved this way .
8. KOL HAKAVOD TO THE ISRAEL POLICE
(12.08.06)
9. rapist
sas ,   israel   (12.08.06)
u have nothing tp be proud of that it took u 14 days to catch him. you should only be ASHAMED that he escaped. now you are portrayed as heroes but honestly you all failed on the job - from top to bottom.
10. Congratulation to Olmert
John ,   Princeton, NJ, USA   (12.08.06)
If not for Olmert he wouldn't had been in the custody.
11. send him to canada he wi cool off
pal qazq ,   gaza falastine   (12.08.06)
12. Olmert contacted !!
Sagi ,   Israel   (12.08.06)
He contacted the police Chief and the Minister to congratulate them. on Friday evening after the commencement of Shabbat. This was completely superfluous and could have waited till Saturday evening. The Police were doing their duty and this is always "pikuach nefesh", especially in this case, but the PM used a telephone on Shabbat for no justifiable reason. All religious parties should unite and bring the Government down with a vote of no confidence because of "chilul Shabbat" Very urgent !!
13. Happy ending...but
enzo ,   london,uk   (12.08.06)
I wish someone could heal/help this fellow human, who has brought grief and pain to many innocent women!
14. thank god!

Emily ,   Calif   (12.09.06)
Instead of trying to help/heal HIM, how about someone trying instead to help/heal his victims? (I don't think they can ever completely heal.) Perhaps it is noble for you to be concerned with him, but let's not forget his victims.
16. small fish....what about large fish
Michael ,   UK   (12.09.06)
Sela was captured and propably will be jailed for the rest of his life bec he is a small fish but what about the big fish Mr. Katsav ................!!!! What about other corrupted big fishes......
17. #13 RAPISTS CANNOT BE TREATED OR CURED
DEBRA ,   USA   (12.09.06)
THERE IS NO KNOWN TREATMENT THAT WILL MAKE RAPISTS STOP RAPING. THEY SHOULD GET LIFE IN PRISON OR THE DEATH PENALTY(IN COUNTRIES THAT HAVE IT). THEY ARE MONSTERS.
18. glad he's captured, PRECAUTIONS TO PREVENT HIM FROM BEATINGS
Batya ,   Jerusalem   (12.09.06)
Thankfully he was re-captured. He alleges that he is being beaten in the jail. It's very important that all prisoners should have precautions in place to protect them from beatings from guards. There is never justification not to protect a prisoner from abuse. I'm sure my comment will elicit angry responses. Before you respond, I ask you this, if you were in prison, would you want precautions and protections from guard beatings. the nature of those protections is, of course, a HUGE question that needs a debate. (again, i expect angry, non-substantive responses to this point too). imagine, for a moment, that he WAS being beaten. how terrible. how would u feel if your family member were in jail, for whatever reason, and was being beaten? you would be terrified and in a state of great distress. u would do all that u could do prevent recurrence of the beatings. don't underestimate the pain of beating. it is just a word, you have to imagine that physical pain that it really represents. it is not legal and not moral under any circumstance, regardless of the crimes of the person being beaten. here too, i expect some people to say that he deserves beating. shame on you for saying that. to you i say, beating people should never be condoned and if you disagree then you are horrible unethical and disgusting person.
19. the raist
jan ,   roseville-usa   (12.09.06)
You should send him to Sodom with all of the other sexual perverts. And send the civil rights groups there as well.
20. this comment for -Arie-Afula.
Meeeeee ,   gaza   (12.09.06)

Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (12.09.06)
Can't you find better reason to abuse Olmert? Grow up, he picked up a phone and did his job!
22. to arie
fateema ,   gaza   (12.09.06)
i think if he was living in gaza / he would be killed from the first by the family of the first girl he rapped her .. this is the truth .. or you do not know the arab customs / becouse of that such dangerouse rapist do not present in arab cities . simply becouse killing of the one let others to be afraid from the punishment .. and so it is in SA . THEY KILLED SUCH A CRIMMINAL BY THE LAW
23. TO 11
NADI ,   JERUSALEM   (12.09.06)
I SWARE YOU ARE NOT A PALASTINIAN .. I KNOW THEM WELL BECOUSE IAM ONE OF THEM ... SUCH POST IS NOT COMING ONLY FROM A JEW .. IT IS NOT OWER HABBITE BUT IT IS THAT OF ISRAILI .. SORRY WHEN I SAID A JEW .. IMEAN AN ISRAILI / BECOUSE ANY RELIGOUSE ONE WILL NEVER DO THIS FREAKING .. BUT IF YOU SEE THAT SEND HIM TO THE HELL . HELL WILL COOL ALL THE CRIMINALS ..
24. 11
Ryan ,   Calgary, Canada   (12.09.06)
Thats no way to talk. I hear this guy claims to be a descendant of your prophet himself. I guess the apple don't fall far from the tree. I'm assuming your broken english says to send him here so he can cool off. I think you should tell hamas to start feeding you guys, your getting delusional.
25. Eye for an eye or??
Dhimmi Carter ,   Peanut Heaven, GA   (12.09.06)
Throw this guy into a cell with the biggest, ugliest, horniest guys in prison. THEY'LL carry out Sela's sentence all right.
26. lol
ahmnijad =benni sela   (12.09.06)
he looks like mahmud ahmnijad
27. #13, perfectly said Enzo
(12.09.06)
Sadly the officers preferred to display him as a trophy in a useless attempt to clean the organization pathetic failure. But I forgot... nobody cares about prisoner rights anyway... and no, I'm not talking about feeding convicted criminal but following the laws of this country. Four officers that force an criminal offender to show up for pictures are nothing but criminals as the trophy they display.
28. the mistake should not have happened in the first place.
bob   (12.09.06)
when you say could restore confidence,....... how do you make the connection ?? confidence can only be restored when measures are put in place that ensure this never happens again. Also when I make a mistake at work, I get told to fix it and do not get congratulated when I do, why should I, ?? the mistake should not have happened in the first place.
29. "cell-fellows"
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.09.06)
Benny Sela and Yigal Amir should share the same cell
30. Sela's relative
NYC Girl   (12.09.06)
Whoever this relative was who had the courage and decency to report having seen Sela, he/she deserves a lot of credit. Too often relatives of really loathsome criminals will protect them based on that b.s. about blood being thicker than water. Fortunately, the person who provided the information about Sela put the welfare of the community above any feelings of loyalty toward this monster.
