Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.07)
We'd have one terrorist less.
2. I guess the IDF man
AMERICAN ,   USA   (12.10.07)
was a torturer. which is legal in the IDF. gross I wouldnt want hin there either, when one ie trying to come to peace/ the IDF reputation is one of war crimes and torture world wide.

4. #2
Invicta ,   europa   (12.10.07)
An Israeli mininster had to cancel a trip to the UK last week as he was under threat of arrest for crimes against humanity. The IDF has killed dozens of foreign journalists and aid workers and killed civilians and on and on.
5. #1
Richard ,   London UK   (12.10.07)
'Unconfirmed reports said the man was a Palestinian and further demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners in addition to Ya'alon's departure.' So he may not have been either a Palestinian or a 'terorist'. Would you write the same if he had been an Israeli protestor?
6. Tell him to jump!
Jellybean ,   Chicago   (12.10.07)
7. "Do you believe?"...Jump Jump Jump
Al   (12.10.07)

Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.07)
10. #2, maybe you have the IDF confused with US forces?
Danny   (12.10.07)
11. Get tough approach? Nah. Tough Love.
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (12.10.07)
Geeeze Louise, For a dusty new 2 sheq bit, I could be enticed to pitch that wanker from the roof, in what could become the next "hot" reality show;"So You Want to Break Up a Meeting?" Yes, Steve. I'll take throwing the Ragster from the roof, for 50 francs.
12. I Say Go For IT!
David ,   Marietta USA   (12.10.07)
I'm sure the French have very fine psychiatrists waiting in the wings... With luck, he's an illegal Arab...
13. #5 - When did you hear of an Israeli suicide bomber?
redmiike ,   tel aviv and london   (12.10.07)
The man is a menace and will now cost the French government a fortune in either medical or prison bills, unless he has an accident and falls out of a window! Do you want to give in to every lunatic that threatens to jump or blow himself up. England will last less time than Belgium and Holland if it follows your lead! Give us a break! Mike

Spencer   (12.10.07)
AMERICAN! I don't believe you are. But whatever. You are certainlyill-informed and don't have a clue whatthe situation is in the Middle East. One of the most compassionate armies in the world happens to be the IDF. Do you want example of war crimes , torture and contraventions of the Geneva Convention. Look no further that the majority of Arab Armies in the Middle East
15. Go or I jump
Juan ,   Spain   (12.10.07)
The threat amounts to blackmail. It is also a terrorist threat. We do not cower to such threats.
16. Richard,London
Caroline ,   London   (12.10.07)
not relevant as I can't really remember the last time i read that an israeli had threatened to jump of a roof,threaten a conference or any other such measure.That tends to be the other side.
17. #5, absolutely
Danny   (12.10.07)
Don't you have some figures to make up?
18. #4, don't you get tired of making stuff up
Danny   (12.10.07)
You care to name a dozen of the "dozens" of aid workers and foreign journalists killed by the IDF? Here's a clue: Number of foreigners killed by Israelis - 10, number killed by Palestinians - 53. But hey we know you don't care about facts?
19. Pity
Niko ,   Finland   (12.10.07)
Pity that he did not jump. World would have been that much richer for his exit.
20. #5 Mike (#13) and Caroline (#16) gave clear responses.
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.07)
21. JUMP!!!!!!!
(12.10.07)
22. #9 Is Joseph Paul named after the Pope.
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (12.10.07)
not to be confused with the Jewish Joseph P. #1.
23. Desperate, impulsive stunt. Arrest him first,
Sad or Cynical? ,   usa   (12.10.07)
then give him a psych. evaluation. His antics only draw attention to the inability of some Palestinian Arabs to act reasonably with emotional maturity. He is either very sick and looking for negative attention or it is a cynical ploy to garner sympathy for his cause. Either way, it is still pathetic behavior.
24. Easy solution to problem
Motti   (12.10.07)
Arrest Ya'alon as a war criminal and take him away in chains. That should help begin to satisfy the many other aggrieved victims of this butcher as well.
25. They should have let him jump - good riddance to bad rubbish
Nannette ,   London   (12.10.07)
They don't have the courage when they're not in swarms!
26. The Dogs and 72 Virgins
Brod ,   USA   (12.10.07)
See how the behave whether in the Middle East, Europe, Russia, Africa, Asia, or the Americas. The Dogs are filled with hate instilled in them by their dark religion. They attacked America on 9/11. Now they are feverishly working on their nukes so that they can annihilate Israel, and subdue, dominate and force their dark religion on the rest of the world. It is time for the World to confront and whip these dogs so that they are cured of their insanity and hateful soul.
27. A good example for all the terrorists!
David ,   USA   (12.10.07)
They should all just jump off of high building and rid the word of their sickness!
28. Let him jump. One less idiot in the world
RA   (12.10.07)
29. #2 - Pig...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.10.07)
A lying pig, no less. To cowardly to leave your name.
30. #2 - American: And the US NEVER tortures?
Steve ,   UK   (12.10.07)
Come on, the CIA destroyed two tapes showing it. Let's not start pointing fingers when your hands are dirty.
