Erik, My friend, what is motivating me is the fact that WE ARE ALL BROTHERS in the name of the God. *********************** #11, Brother Patrick Thanks. you made me very happy. I wish my english was better. From now on, I will try to write better. Lets see, what we can. Have a great weekend, everyone, see you monday. ( YNet, what is this dicipline on readers, you did drive me crazy, today. me no like you :))) Atilla Karagözoğlu Istanbul atilla_karagozoglu@yahoo.com

Al ,   New York   (12.22.06)
How come they call Joerg Haider in Austria a fascist and Neo-Nazi, but not Avigdor Lieberman, when Lieberman's policies (and statements) are much more extreme than Haider's? So make up your mind then Kyle: Is the mistake in calling this murderer a terrorist, or in not calling the Seattle "attacker" a terrorist? Answer that one since you clearly think you're so smart?????
34. A very sick man - murder and now suicide ! Very religious !

Erik   (12.22.06)
Atilla, we are all brothers as you wrote, but the reality is - as sadly seen on a daily basis - is that many of the brothers are quite willing to kill and maim to get their way. I take you you at your word that you are motivated by good intentions. I hope that more of your coreligionists could adopt a more brotherly relationship towards those who follow different faiths.
37. Suicide terrorist
David ,   Haifa   (12.22.06)
Talking about hilul HaShem, using your tefilin to commit suicide.
38. #33 so how come?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (12.22.06)
Either YNet calls the Seattle shooter a "terrorist" or YNet calls Weisglas a "mentally disturbed shooter." They are either both "terrorists" or they are both "mentally disturbed shooters." There is no difference between what the Seattle shooter/terrorist did and what Weisglas did so they should be referred to using the same terms. There is a huge difference between Lieberman and Haider and their political parties. Don't change the subject. We are talking about journalistic style book.
39. His House was demolished
jsm ,   canada   (12.22.06)
Why was his house not demolished? Read where he lived. It was. The land is now part of all arab gaza.
40. Jews are judged at a higher level of morality
Joe ,   USA   (12.22.06)
living in a democratic society,We can not be equate with the other society of terror and religious fanathasism . The equation is unbalanced from the start.
41. to 28
darryl ,   israel   (12.22.06)
you are definetly not hamudah he is just as bad as hamas and the jihad islam and maby you should take a good look at yourself i for one am really happy that the garbage is dead
42. is there similarity between Asher's case and Goldstein's ?
observer   (12.22.06)
why are all afraid from making the comparison ? Does the Masada psychology has anything to do with either cases ? Why Israelis do not have the courage to discuss these points ?
43. IDF kills terrorists only, Politics kills activists only !
observer   (12.22.06)
No need to bother, just apply this simple rule for any case !
44. Yimach shemo ve'zichro
Jake   (12.22.06)
May this terrorist's name and memory be blotted out. He is not only a murderer, but also a coward. May his bones be ground to dust.
45. What is Good for the Goose
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. USA   (12.22.06)
This man was properly tried, and convicted. The fact that he was a Jew is irrelevant. Israel is a county of laws. The real problem is that Israel's biased policy about convicted Arab terrorists, makes a mockery of his incarceration. Arabs can expect to go free, while Jews will languish for years in jail, with little hope for a reprieve. That's the real tragedy of all of this. Killing Palestinians, except in self-defense, cannot be permitted under any circumstances. We, Jews, are not Germans, or Hamas or Islamic Jihad or the PLO or Fatah. We still are the "Chosen people" with responsibilities to act humanely. We are not Shias or Sunnis killing one another over who is descendent from G-d. We don't behead people for minor crimes. We don't kill our daughters over principle.
46. he think he got away but he still
tea man ,   marjayoun leb   (12.22.06)
have 3 life term to to serve
47. Good riddance- he won't be missed
Paul ,   Austin, USA   (12.22.06)
Death to the fanatical insects of any stripes.
48. To #9
paul malykont ,   los osos, usa   (12.22.06)
Voices like yours are a reminder that we are not all fanatical, crazy and bloodthirsty. Sadly, religion and all other faith based systems are easily used to incite hatred and justify evil, including murder. With your permission I will count you as a friend. We have all done both good and evil through our histories, but as America rediscovers her basic goodness we all recognize that you and your nation are the bridge between our civilizations. Happy Chanukah and best wishes in all you do.
49. the suicide
Sheldon Rappaport ,   Tiberias Israel   (12.22.06)
I feel sorrier for his children than him. Go explain when they are older that he was not a martyr but an extremist afraid to stand for he thought was right .... assunig of course, there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding his suicide. Some independant judicial party ought to investigate this possibility, don't you think?
50. Patrick - # 11
Ginette Golden ,   Toronto, Canada   (12.23.06)
I like Atilla Karagözoğlu also!!! He sounds like a very decent and pacifist man. We need more like him on all sides as reading his talkbacks, he somehow renews my faith in human kind :-) I also agree with post # 8
51. #4
RP ,   Israel   (12.23.06)
I think perhaps Ynet is hesitant to use the word terrorist in reference to Arab terrorists in order to protect their reporters who often report from the PA.
52. Ynet, don't you mean Jewish "activist"
RA   (12.23.06)
After all, you call all the Pali terrorists "activists"
53. He was a terrorist murderer...period.
Craig ,   USA   (12.23.06)
I think he probably just simply cracked...but he still murdered his victims for the simple fact that they were Palestinians. He apparently hoped his "terrorist" act would achieve another end...motivate others to follow suit. How is this different from Islamic terrorist murderers who murder innocent Israelis? The simple fact is that you can count on your hand the number of such incidents perpetrated by Jews against Islamics...even though the Islamics provoke such retaliation by planning, attempting and committing such acts on a routine basis, and teach their kids to do the same so as to please their God. My sympathies are with this man....as a person can only take so much, yet he did murder...no self defense here. It would have been justified had he somehow been able to kill actual members of a terrorist organization...but not innocent workers. Any Jew who kills a member of an Islamic terrorist organization should get a medal. They have declared war on Israel and the Jews. This was not such a case.
54. #14 Asher - If you want to see an Israeli Al Jazeera,
Fasulia Hudra   (12.23.06)
Asher I agree that Ynet should use consistant terminology: either terrorist or militart for both Israelis and PALs. On the other hand, If you want to see an Israeli Al Jazeera rag that is not fit for lining a birdcage, I suggest you read Ha-aretz. They print all anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist talkbacks and heavily censor the pro-Israel and pro-Zionist talkbacks. Read the horrible garbage written by Dutch/Doris Madigan of Nattick, MA or Marlene of NY, etc. regularly in Haaretz. The artistic web layout and news worthiness of YNET (with the possible exception of some Singles articles) stories is far superior to Haaretz. Jpost is okay as a newspaper but its layout falls short of YNET.
55. #25 wannabees??????????
Nora ,   Israel   (12.23.06)
This was one sick psycho and you sound not far off. I for one will not condone any cold-blooded murder of innocent people!!!!!!
56. YOU ALL THINK WHAT HE WAS HUH?
CANADA LIVE ,   Canada   (12.23.06)
FACT: Israeli courts all judges give a short sentence to an Arab terrorist and later 5 to 10 years later he signs a A4 document with the Israel governments all of them and get's out of jail on just his/hers promiss not to part take in terror against Israel again.....how many kept their word? Only 17 of the thousands that got out of jail on the same promiss to be a good boy. Wow Asher wesigan ז"ל received 4 x 25 years for murdering 4 Arabs and how many did the terrorists receive for blowing up buses, driving public buses off the road, for raping and killing daughters of Israel, for blowing up cafes and what ever? You see don't blame the Arabs blame the Israeli courts and goverments only.
57. jewish terrorist
sas ,   israel   (12.23.06)
WHO CARES!!!!????? ONE LESS FANATIC TO WORRY ABOUT.
58. good, he won't be missed.
yonatan ,   nyc   (12.23.06)
59. Too bad he wasn't an arab; he'd have been released long ago
AK   (12.23.06)
as a 'peace good will gesture.'' Looks like Israel is increasingly deadly to the Jews.
60. Good riddance
