Shame on you.
2. Shameful
Elliott ,   Tel Aviv   (11.12.07)
First, a disgusting human being throws a dangerous object onto the court inside a building. I hope they find him and stick him in prison. But then..., the IBA finds this situation so serious that they announce they will hold an 'emergency' session....LATER THIS WEEK. Huh? This incident demands an emergency session be held TODAY. Fix this problem now, and stop being lazy about it. So typical...!
3. The security guard is a hero! Terrible mindless violence!
Adam ,   Ramat Gan   (11.12.07)
4. Did they boo Rabin again?

tubbert ,   passaic usa   (11.12.07)

Ball Park   (11.12.07)
The perp will probably claim that he wanted to throw the thing at somebody he confused with the late PM. For this he will be fantically celebated on Ynet-talkback. The guard however will be cursed for getting the poor guy into trouble and the investigating police, attorneys and the judges will be slammed as leftist swines.
7. What the hell is going on over there?
Al   (11.12.07)
Have the people of Israel simply lost it? Are they so damn stupid that when Arabs try to kill em they hide like mice, but in the midst of a friggin basketball game they throw firecrackers that may kill? Gees have the Jews of Israel morphed into a new kind of Jew? "Brain Dread upon Delivery"
8. Hope they find whoever did this!!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (11.12.07)
What an idiot!!
9. #5 the stupid tubbert...
stephane ,   france   (11.12.07)
" this was an act of jewish terrorism plain and simple "....ahahahaha ! you're so funny and pathetic ! you know that it is so IMPOSSIBLE to say that jews are terrorists that you have to " jump " on any story about a jewish guy wounded by other jews to take advantage of that and say that " jews are terrorists "... yesterday a supporter of lazio roma (soccer) was killed by an italian policeman; so ? italians are terrorists ?
10. Can I use televsion footage to find that girl in the photo?
A ,   Jerusalem   (11.12.07)
12. Wrong #9
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.13.07)
I'm sure if you were down on that basketball court and a poweful firecracker landed near you and blew off three of your fingers, you would consider that to be an act of terror. And let's not act like Jews are so righteous, that they don't commit terrorism. Menachem Begin and Yitzhak Shamir were terrorists.

14. Sewed hand
Damir ,   Russia   (11.14.07)
Thanks for modern micro-surgery he may hope for full recovery.
15. This is not terrorism, to say it is is ignorant
Gil ,   Haifa, Israel   (11.15.07)
Terrorism is violence against non-combatants to effect political change. This was a prank - there was no one targeted, it was thrown into an open area, and no political motives. The security guard GRABBED the thing and it blew off his hand. If he had let it be, it would have gone boom and no one would have been hurt. Fair enough, it was the right thing for him to do at the time - but to call a prank terrorism in this case is not-so-thinly-veiled anti-semetism. If you have to stretch that far to find acts of Jewish Terror, well, that says all that needs to be said.
