Dani ,   Tel Aviv   (05.27.07)
Kol hakavod, Issam! Get well soon.
2. Racial profiling
Bob ,   Ottawa, Canada   (05.27.07)
Shame on you for implying that the attackers were Muslims. Maybe somebody else was yelling "Allahu Akbar". You should refer to them as "insurgents" in future postings, just like the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and most of our other media outlets do in Canada. Yours in Political Correctness.
3. to bob the politically naive and eventually dead
yoni ,   jerusalem   (05.27.07)
hi bob, sorry to break it but this is israel not canada. i have spoken to people like you before and i am sure with your liberal views and politicakl correctness you would rather be dead than profile terrorists. fortunatley we dont have many nutcases like you around here since this is life or death in our country. the fact is that muslims teach hatred and violence in their mosques and other communal events. whether or not you want to believe it there are radical muslims preaching this murderous stuf all around our region. had you lived in the times of our nazi friends you probably would have had a problem saying that nazis are preaching violence huhh? i hope you were being sarcastic with your post...
4. Are you serious?

I sure hope you're being sarcastic,buddy..
5. "Allahu Akbar?" Japanese used to yell "Banzai!"
(05.27.07)
6. Serious That They Have Israeli ID. Really?
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (05.27.07)
Well guess what the solution to that is? Is Dichter being disingenuous or downright stupid? Palestinians should not have Israeli ID's - period.
7. #2
chuck ,   usa   (05.27.07)
yeah maybe the guard also shot himself in the back!!!!!! GET A LIFE !!!
8. #1: where does the hero is Druze?
hizki ,   germany   (05.27.07)
9. #2 racial profiling? Do the Jews and xtians in Israel
Wuh? ,   USA   (05.27.07)
worship Allah? The article stated that the border guard was unaware that the attackers were dangerous. That means they were not "profiled." Perhaps if they had been, the soldier would not be in the hospital. Read the article carefully next time.
10. 1 only has to hear "in the back" to know who did it
(05.27.07)
11. Who supplied the guns , did you Olmert ?
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.27.07)
Where did the terrorists with Israeli ID's get their weapons ? Was it from the Bush Olmert team who think nothing of supplying weapons and money to the Fatah terrorist's ?
12. Go easy on my fellow Canadian (#2). He was being sarcastic
Otter ,   Canada   (05.27.07)
When reporting to Sderot, the CBC refers only to the number of rocket attacks that Israel has suffered in the last week or so. No mention is ever made of the fact that these attacks has been going on for a long time. Also, no Palestinian is ever a "terrorist" on their reports, no matter how much carnage they cause. The CBC is funded by public funds, that is, by all of us taxpayers, but it has become a medium for the interests of the Muslim community. It's also unequivocally anti-Israel, in its own low-key Canadian style. Their idea of balanced reporting is to place a Palestinian vis a vis a Left wing Israeli.
13. Muslims Shoot Muslims
Mark ,   England   (05.27.07)
The border guard shot by cowardly Arabs is a muslim himself.So much for Islams regard for life or even their own fellow Muslims. What a backward barbaric cult they follow.The Devil always leads fools by their long noses.

16. Allahu akbar - have you seen "United 93" movie?
Mike ,   UK   (05.27.07)
It's all part of the worldwide jihad against the West by radical Islam - Bali, 9/11, London, Madrid, Moscow, East Africa, Amman, Sinai, etc, etc, etc........

24. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED IS...
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem   (05.27.07)
The 23 year old terrorists that shot the security men are indeed Muslim and are residents of the Village Jable Mukaber which means Mukaber's mountain in Arabic and it is located and part of the Jewish neighborhood Armon Ha Natsiv in Jerusalem's Talpiot neighborhood. It is in Jerusalem and not near Jerusalem as the writer wrote. The Village is a 3 minute walk from the Promenade that over looks the wailing wall as seen in most pictures, the village residents all have Israeli residency and Jordanian citizenship, there are a few exceptions though. Jabel Mukaber is adjacent to village Tsur Bacher which is the back side of Mr Elius Monastery. In the past 10 years many terrorists came from these 2 villages to mention a few: A man in his 20's from Jabel Mukaber was caught before he poisoned clients at a popular bet café in Jerusalem last year, another from Tsur Bacher has tried to blow him self up at a restaurant in the German colony in Jerusalem 10 months ago but his explosive device failed, 4 years ago an IDF Cobra helicopter fired a rocket at a car leaving Tsur Bacher that carried 4 armed terrorists killing them all. A father and son were stabbed in Armon Ha Natsiv and died while waiting for a bus at 06:00 by a terrorist from Jabel Mukaber 5 years ago. Rapes, attempted rapes, sexual assaults, beatings, car burnings, car theft, home invasions are too often associated with these 2 villages. The residents of these villages work at gas stations, health clinics, restaurants, garages, own construction comapanies and do their banking in Jerusalem, own and provide taxi services to the residents of Jerusalem, all residents of these villages make use of all public services and parks freely and daily without and provocation by their Jewish neighbors. There are no road blocks and these villages have 5 roads each in which they can enter and exit their homes freely 24 hrs a day. Now if Israel decides to beef up security and the police decide to take precautions the terror supporter groups will cry that their human rights are being violated but when terrorists from these villages are killing those same cry babies are not to be seen nor heard of. As longs as Israel's government does nothing this and more will go on, maybe when Jerusalem gets rocketed from Nablus and Ramallah then maybe some Minister in parliament might wake up. Daily Muslim youth from these villages walk freely all over the Jewish neighborhoods but a Jew couldn't walk freely in these villages and that says allot in itself.

Longeblond Hair ,   But Baldt!   (05.27.07)
Ya, when is for what time are you to doing it's very hard, this to Baal, unt den dying unt, it's very hard. . , the devel be when comer here, hard. .
26. Refuah Shlemah Gibor Abu Rish
Noam ,   Boca Raton, FL   (05.27.07)
Many of you point out that he is Druze and thats alright by me but I think he felt himself doing his duty as a proud ISRAELI citizen and like any other sound, reasonable citizens wants his country safe and is willing to serve it. He doesn't care about the identity of the state in name so long as it lets him live freely, and it does. And the soldiers that took him to the hospital, the medical staff there, and the people that visited him probably came from several different ethnic backgrounds, because of identification with fellow citizens and support for his bravery. I see this as further evidence that Israel can be a Jewish state in word and in some policy areas but also without contradiction be a state for all its citizens- at least those citizens who are willing to give before they take.
27. #24 - Yehuda, thank you for your detailed TB
Tracy W   (05.28.07)
There is so much we don't know about life in Israel. Since not everything is reported in the mainstream media, we learn a lot by reading good comments with first-hand knowledge such as yours. Thanks.
28. Isam, get well very soon!
Zvi   (05.27.07)
