1. I can't wait to hear the sequel about what Sharon did to him
Cynic ,   USA   (03.16.07)
What a bunch of crap. He suddenly remembers 40 years later, and he is positive that it is Ben-Eliezer. Next we'll hear that the blood was used to make matzah.
2. fair is fair
(03.16.07)
we israelis will like to sue gamaal nasser, assad, husein, etc.... for ALL THE ISRAELI SOLDIERS THEY CAPTURED AND MURDERED in past wars ....also, those they mercilessly tortured and returned them home vegetables for ever, those that came home riddled with machine gun bullets and torture evident on cadavers, all the captured and murdered operatives, citizens of israel dying of terror bombs....everything. we'd like to sue each arab country that waged war on the israeli jews in israel before 1948 and up until 2006 to please pay up!
3. palestinian says....
(03.16.07)
arab said the same about kanah massacre.....was it true? or media hog wash. of course liars do not change their stories.
4. yea sure.
(03.16.07)
5. the egyptians' minds are made up already
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.16.07)
it doesn't matter what actually happened because they egyptians WANT to believe it is all true. they will believe anything and anyone that agrees with what they already want. i get the feeling that if the stories that egyptians we NOT massacred, egypt would be disappointed.
6. Article is pure garbage
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov Israel   (03.16.07)
'An Israeli TV documentary claiming that an Israeli battalion under Ben-Eliezer's command killed 250 Egyptian prisoners of war in 1967 angered many Egyptians.' Is false the documentary said that they fought and killed 250 Palestinian terrorists. Not POWs nor Egyptians.
7. Sure, he's been quiet about it all these
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (03.16.07)
years because of his post traumatic stress syndrome. Are all Arabs pathological liars or does it just seem that way?
8. When liars start their fire
Brod ,   USA   (03.16.07)
When liars start their fire, the dark forces accept their crap as biblical truth. This is another form of terrorism that Israel has to counter.
9. This is too fishy.
Suzanne   (03.16.07)
Why does he talk about it now? I don't believe it at all and believe this person to be spreading lies.
10. Why YNET needs to report us all the craps ?
(03.16.07)
11. # 9: doesnt matter what you believe
papa jay   (03.16.07)
Egyptions are going to eat this up! terrible things happen in war. i'm sure israel like Egypt is guilty of such crimes. this is something that happened in the middle of the desert in a war, where hatred was high. imagine if israeli POW were captured by Palestinians, they would certainly die an agonizing death. israel and Egypt will do the same, atrocities of war is nothing new. and no countries army is immune from it. Israel, arabs, US. Israel put it's foot in its mouth with this film they released,. thats all. u F@#@ed up, you deal with it now.
12. AND MY CAMEL HAD "UNA LACRIMA SUL VISO"...
BOBBY SOLO ,   ITALIA   (03.16.07)
MY CAMEL HAD "UNA LACRIMA SUL VISO"...WHILE SADAT WAS DOING HIM... AS THIS IS BECOMING THE MAIN HEBREW LANGUAGE SOURCE OF ARABIC B.S.... MAY BE...
13. more chilling details available when he finishes the hash
dante ,   uk   (03.16.07)
did ynet bother to check out the story? did it talk to the Israeli commander? or, did it just get the story from this egyptian hero and run with it?
14. We all know how "credible" arabs are! Just watch Paliwood!
Roni   (03.16.07)
15. Mr. B.-E. MK and the 1967 war
ricardo kolbe ,   cologne - germany   (03.16.07)
It is well known for decades, however not published that Egypt . soldiers in some cases were not treated in line with the Geneva war laws. If this special case is true, B.-E. should loose his milit.-rank, should leave the Knesset and Israel should send a new Ambassador to Cairo.
16. we all do that
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (03.16.07)
it is look like very important thing to kill who is an enemy of you or your God. this is same in every nation. in every religion. in every war. TO HANDLE PEOPLE WITHOUT KILLING OR PUNISHING IS POSSIBLE. BUT WHEN YOU GO INTO KITCHEN, YOUR ENEMY LOOKS TO YOU AS A DEVIL. WE ALL, KILL. WE ALL, PUNISH. WE LOVE TORTURE TURKS, JEWS, ARABS, AMERICANS, CHINIES, JAPANIES, RUSSIANS, GERMANS, FRENCHS, AFRICANS........ we all, kill. we all good and bad. depands on case, we heal or we kill. we can lose our angle side and we can be bad. I never experienced to kill. I hope I will never have it. to kill is necessary somethimes. but lets dont kill if they dont deserve it. I can also feel I can kill someone who torture people. who rapes, who takes others rights. but when I think they can also have families, my minds stops. but if they are bad, they will be bad for the families also. ------------------- KILLING IS STUPID. KILLING IS THE MOST GREAT THING. depands what they do sorry for my english, tonight. I did work hard today. I am very tired.
17. i have seen my friend blows up in my face

You are one of my favorite talkbackers on this site :) I've been lurking ynet for over a year, but recently started talkbacking. Just wanted to let you know!
19. atrocities
izwick ,   NYC   (03.16.07)
If he witnessed such "atrocities," why did he wait 40 years to come forward. If he doesn't have corroborative evidence, then it may just be mendacious defammation, without credence. YNet should not be publishing this without supportive evidence.
20. Great novel. When's it out in paperback?
Adamush   (03.16.07)
21. howdy there, abdul!
sherlock holmes   (03.16.07)
in those days, u were very speedy giving up ur shoes. therefore, lace-"tragedy " is no more than usual arab cheap PROPAGANDA.
22. where are the dead soldiers buried ?

23. to#15
(03.16.07)
I am sorry to tell u that my friend but u as a german have no rights to tell a jewish army how to defend its people עם כל הצער שבדבר
24. An idea flashed through my mind, too !!
Doc Holliday ,   Detroit   (03.16.07)
Not much of an idea though. 1) tie shoelaces together 2) tie to boot 3) throw to a ditch filled with muddy water 4) drag back filthy , sweaty boot that you were wearing all day 5) and drink the dirty boot filled with muddy water from ditch. Jesus, no wonder you lost the war in six days. Hey, Gen. Ameen Abdul Rahman THATS BRILLANT SIMPLY BRILLANT!! OK, I know he wasn't a Gen., but you gotta feel bad for Egyptian Army.
25.  Guardian&Independent =" Saving Private Abdul"
Alan ,   SA   (03.16.07)
26. BottomLine:: Why he took 40years to narrate??
KMR ,   Middle East   (03.17.07)
27. ISRAELI VERSION= ALL BS - ARAB "WITNESS" INSTANT CREDIBILITY
Scott   (03.17.07)
This has got to be a joke. where has this guy been for the last 40 years? Only now comes out with 'startling revelations'. Who knows actually what happened? trusting the word of this guy ,at face value does not constitute fact. Yet its being treated as such by many.
28. lies maybe?
(03.17.07)
isn't it just a bit amazing and buffling to anyone that this story has not come up years and years ago???? that not a single egyptian soldier went to the media to accuse israel of this? arabs do not usually "hide" these things unless they do not serve a purpose. since such inflamatory findings do serve their purposes against israel, why has not a single arab egyptian soldier come up with this story years ago? they waited 40 some years to "reveal" this so called lie? i doubt any such israeli action took place. arab imagination and lying is notoriosly viewed as fact in the arab world and media. egyptians were not media shy. they could have revealed this years and years ago....but they had nothing on israel and this is why none of them came forward.
29. #11 READ #6
(03.17.07)
this is the answer to your claim that israel is capable of these things. maybe arabs, but not jews!
30. #15
(03.17.07)
please do not insuly our intelligence with references to the geneva convention and the geneva war laws. those laws are directly applicable to those "army of god" that kidnapped our soldiers from inside israel and no one has ever seen them again. no one heard if they are alive. no red cross visits allowed. no contact with government officials regarding their fait and no knowledge by their parents of where they are or if they are in fact alive. same goes for ron arad, captured over 20 years ago. same goes for the three captured and murdered soldiers before the war with lebanon in 2006. same goes for eli cohen, captured and never heard from again. same goes for ALL THE AMERICAN, JEWS AND NON JEWS, NEWSPAPER MEN, COMPANY MEN, JOURNALISTS, CAPTURED BY EXTREMISTS GROUPS DIRECTLY SUPPORTED BY GOVERNMENTS SUCH AS IRAN AND SYRIA...... not only that the geneva rules of war didn't apply to them nor the red cross ability to visit them.....THEY WERE SUMMARILY DICAPITATED! AND EXECUTED ON THE SPOT.....mostly for money. tell me, genius....did the geneva convention and laws of was ever applied to these poor souls? remember daniel pearl? choke on it!
