robert- Clinton New   (12.28.07)
well said #18. in 60 years Israel built a nation and look what the arabs built. if you don t see anything, your eyes are not fooling you.
32. Assassinations
English guy ,   London   (12.28.07)
It was most certainly a targetted assassination. Exactly the same thing that most of the evil-thinking TBers here applaud when directed against Palestinians. Goose and gander? Other cheek? 6 of one, half dozen of another? Don't like it when what you do to others is done against your own community. But it does help you to see, at least, that murder is murder, that people have families, and that because of the murderous settlement policy, people get hurt.
33. #12 for every one of us they murder
English guy ,   London   (12.28.07)
When you say "1000s take their place", are you referring to the miserable number of people "making aliya"? Because they are not "making aliya" to go and be sitting ducks on Palestinian territory on the WEst Bank. For all your hyperbolic rubbish, there are not thousands of people rushing to live on the West Bank, there are not thousands of people willing to filch other peoples' homes, like you. Most of the sensible ones will take a plane straight back home and leave the thieving right-wing criminal bunch of Arab-haters to their own fate.
34. I tell you why they were killed
ahmad abouali ,   nablus   (12.28.07)
they were attacked becuase: 1-they were illegal colonists on our land 2-they were armed 3-they were Zionist soldiers 4-they were killers of Palestinians 5-they were killed because they hated Arabs 6-it is our land, and you all, Zionists, ARE NOT WELCOMED IN IT. TOO BAD YOU GUYS ARE SO BLIND TO THE FACTS
35. Settler Scumbags should be Deported from Palestine
Wissam   (12.28.07)
36. Killing of two Israelis Olmert"s fault
RAY ,   USA   (12.28.07)
Let's face it. The criminal e it took office. IT HOULD ..negligence of the Israeli government in arming Fatah (and indirectly Hamas) and it's failure to prosecute the active defense of it's territory and citizens makes it directly liable for the many deaths
37. #24
Natan   (12.28.07)
You are full of S...t. I am old enough to remember you shooting at us when YOU had the west Bank!!!
38. to 18
(12.28.07)
when you build on the died bodies of another people so you are the killers ..... are you afraid from Bush cowards .
39. Sure #34. Are those the same reasons why Bhutto was killed?
Cynic ,   USA   (12.28.07)
40. #32, Antisemitic guy and moral equivalence
Chatich   (12.28.07)
Dear spinmaster, Don't even dare to compare our pinpoint targeted killings of known militants, active and complicit in planned, premeditated acts of indiscriminate terror against innocent Israelis, with the random, opportunistic killing of whichever Jews happen to be within firing range; men, women, children - all are equal opportunity targets in the eyes of the godless agents of satan (piss be upon him) who so ironically call themselves freedom fighters. When our gallant IDF locates and targets these kassam-building, mortar-lobbing tosspots, their deaths serve the purpose of ridding the world of evil. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The only thing the "victims" of our targeted killings deserve more than death is a slow painful death. The people killed by your sick twisted heroes were simply hikers, out enjoying a nature walk. They were not out oppressing pals, not building settlements or naming teddy bears 'mohamed'; just a group of young Jews out chewing the scenery. They were attacked BECAUSE THEY WERE JEWS. Full stop. The problem stems from ignorami like yourself, who twist and spin the truth and obfuscate by interchanging good and evil on either side of what should be a very broad line. I really don't know how you leftards (although I very strongly suspect you are actually an arab - your duplicity transcends even the most retarded lefty) manage such extreme cognitive dissonance to arrive at your ever-flawed views, but somehow with every vile post spewed from your keyboard you manage to redefine terms like hypocrisy, projection and rabid antisemitism. As for #22, Wissam, who so boldly whines "This is not your land, it's Palestine, Go home!", go get a shovel, professor, and dig yourself a hole anywhere in "palestine", Judea, Samaria and Gaza included, and find me one single solitary "palestinian" artifact that proves your ignorant claim. I think anything and everything you happen to find will prove otherwise (despite your relentless attempts to destroy these artifacts and our history). So it is you, uninvited squatter, who should pack up your bullets, bombs and suicide vests, and go home. Shabat shalom.

just for your informations : The big dream your first zionists came with to this land was much bigger than what you have now ... they dreamed with the great Israel from the Nile till El Forat and they drawed this map on the Kneset and some of your first money notes .. they made wars with help of the super power in the world but it didn't work ...no Nile no Forat ... then they dreamed with the safty Israel ... till now ... no safty ... the dreams you came with it 60 years ago is getting smaller all the time ... plus you lost the sympathy of most of the world and you became not welcome .... more imegrants out of Israel all the time ..... keep on dreaming ... you are anyhow used to live in troubles you made by your hands .
42. to 12
(12.28.07)
seams you watch alot of trick movies , just to prove that what you say it's just BS ... that amount of the Arabs in Israel are is increasing much more than the Jews and 40 years they will be at least 50% or more .... so where are thoes thousends .... only in your fantasy .
43. to 37
(12.28.07)
first be polit , then read your criminal history before you open your mouth . http://www.deathmasters.com/
44. 22 Whats Palestine, a british name, is it not.
freedom ,   canada   (12.28.07)
Judea and Samaria is that not the proper name of the West bank. I do think it is, when are you going?
45. 34 Ahmad, when are your friends leaving the occupied city
freedom ,   canada   (12.28.07)
of Bethlehem, time to get out and stop the illegal land transfers. Christians own the city not the PA.
46. # 7 WOW!!!
Natan ,   USA   (12.28.07)
We must now change the definition of a "MORON" in all dictionaries!!! Damn, your comments are very dangerous as they carry the risk of reducing one's IQ when read!!!
47. #1: Arabs are in the wrong place
Steve ,   Fla.   (12.28.07)
Arabs do not belong in Israel. They really do not belong in the Jew's land. None belong in the Holy Land. Arabs belong in Arab lands.
48. You Israelis never fail to astound me
GUH   (12.28.07)
If killing military personnel, what does that make Israel I wonder?
49. Now in comes the
GUH   (12.28.07)
collective punishment. Entire villages will be closed, movement will be restricted because a certain somebody believes that Israeli lives are worth more than non-Israelis. Before anybody could counter that last statement, be warned: I have some proof...
50. To #33 English guy, Wissam, and Others
reality vs. wishes ,   usa   (12.28.07)
These victims were being stalked for the sole purpose of REVENGE, an attempt by Islamic Jihadists to express their impotent rage. You make a lot of assumptions about people, and none of your assumptions are based on any facts or show an understanding of reality on the ground. Fro instance, you assume that just because someone is Jewish that they would want to go to Israel and become settlers and steal land. You are just as racist in your thinking even though you believe you are pure and holy. "1000's take their place" means that 1000's more will die in the name of the chimera called "resistence." You may do all the name-calling you want until you fall down in a fit, but it won't change the FACT that the Palestinian people bear at least some of the responsibility for what kind of reality their actions have brought them. And to Wissam and the rest: false pride and wounded feelings will bring you nothing that you can call a Palestinian State. Just because you fervently desire a vision of Palestine without any Jews in it doesn't mean that this wishful thinking has any basis in reality. If wishes could bring results, you would already have a Palestine. You can keep hoping Palestine will come tumbling from the sky and fall into your laps, or you can get busy trying to find alternate ways to live in peace with other non-Arab peoples. In the end, what you do to achieve "Palestine" is ultimately your choice.
51. Marcel - am begining to warm to you
'Hatikva' nehelum ,   (The Hope' got lost)   (12.28.07)

53. #51 Hatikva
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.28.07)
My hope is that many many more will and the warm carpet is pulled out from George of no peace. May he trip and fall on his face and arise with a crooked nose so Israel iwll know who he really is. Could you go there on January 8 when he is in Israel and give him the finger for me ?
54. #40
English guy ,   London   (12.28.07)

55. t is our land, and you all, Zionists, ARE NOT WELCOMED IN IT
(12.28.07)

56. wissam, ahmad & other Arabs
(12.28.07)
very good, please continue the path of killing your Pali state is more off than ever
57. #22 till you can point to Palestine on a map, shut up.
Steve ,   UK   (12.28.07)
Palestine doesn't exist - and it this rate, it never will. YOU go home.
58. #23 - Can't a Pal be honest for once??
Steve ,   UK   (12.28.07)
"did not the Israeli army killed more than 50 palestinians in Gaza this month" Yes - and every one of them a militant planning and executing attacks on Israel. Why not state ALL the facts. And YOU wake up - read the PLO charter. Read the Hamas charter. Then tell me your people want peace, not pieces.
59. Why Islamic Jihad is called "Al Quds"
(12.28.07)
...because like a cow that chews and then spits out its cuds, Israel will chew up and spit out the wothless "Al Quds" Brigades.
60. to 47 ... it's up to you
(12.29.07)
