1. well, at least they're eating.

2. Humanitarian crisis
joseph ,   texas, USA   (02.04.08)
What kind of world do we live in when the peace loving civilians in Gaza can only hand out lfowers and sweets once per year when there is a suicide bombing that kills a military target, the Israeli woman at a shopping center? We need more opportunities for the poor Gazans to hand out sweets and candy and I call upon the EU to pressure Israel to expedite the killing of Israeli women and children military targets to allow the celebrations in Gaza to continue.
3. They are not normal people
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (02.04.08)
4. not representative
gabistan ,   gabistan   (02.04.08)
this is not representative of all Palestinians.. just as IDF soldiers who shoot little kids is not representative of all israelis. let's get beyond shock value and see each other as the humans we really are.
5. Not normal people?
Eli ,   Israel   (02.04.08)
Unfortunately, this seems to be the norm from fanatical Moslems. Remember the women in Iran in the war against Iraq 'wailing with joy' over their dead children who died in the war? These particular Palestinians are of the same ilk. How horrible they seem to me, especially since 2 of their own kind also died. That's a really sick culture.
6. This can't be true!
Chris ,   Damascus,SY (of US)   (02.04.08)
Nobody would celebrate the killing of civilians. People don't celebrate when women are killed in shopping centers. I imagine my friends in Syria will soon explain the conspiracy to me.
7. Flowers and Candy
Sivan ,   Tel-Aviv   (02.04.08)
Aren't they something. Flowers and candy! Where do they have the means to buy these luxury items when they complain all the time that they are poor and starving of hunger?
8. Jews live by the sword
marge, USA   (02.04.08)
violence begets violence.
9. who would celebrate murder?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.04.08)
this says everything about them as people. is it any wonder that no one likes or wants them?
10. I thought they were starving??
(02.04.08)
11. Celebrating
EA ,   USA   (02.04.08)
I agree Tex...with more Israeli pain..might come peace...
12. Watch How The Foreign Media Will Censor This Story
Eyal ,   Jerusalem   (02.04.08)
..Just like they censored reports of Palestinians celebrating 9/11. Anything that doesn't fit their story line of Palestinians as helpless victims, or oppressed people that have 'no choice' but to murder and maim civilians will not be reported by BBC, CNN, etc. Besides, the foreign reporters here won't do anything that will endanger their access to Hamas officials. You better believe that if Israelis celebrated the death of Palestinians it would be reported in every newspaper and news program in the world...
13. Junk media like the candy they're eating
Ypip ,   Canada   (02.04.08)
Thank God for people like inspector Kobi and the folks of Dimona.
14. #8 Marge - What planet are you living on?
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (02.04.08)
The PALs started the violence nearly 100 years ago with their massacres of Jews in 1920, 1929, 1936. Haj Amin Al Husseini collaborated with Hitler. They started the airline hijackings in the 70's. They murdered Israeli athletes at the Olympics. Their brothers (Radical Islamic Terrorists) beheaded Berg, Pearle, and many more including in the Phillipines. They have destroyed holy shrines including the Tomb of Joseph, Ancient synagogue of Jericho, Samarra Mosque, 3000 year old Budhas, etc. The Moslem terrorists murder over a thousand children in Beslan. The list goes on forever. We on the other hand are leaders not only in science, sports (e.g. recent successes in tennis), music, arts, technology, medicine, etc. Where in the world except Israel do you hear that we are engaged in violence except on the anti-Semitic side of receiving it. But if that is not enough, we are leaders in the fight against TERROR showing the world how to fight it and contain it. We assasinated Sa'ad, a leader of the PRC. We immediately killed the second suicide bomber before we sustained any more damage. We target the terrorists, their leaders, their infrastructure, etc. And sometime there is collateral damage. But so what? There people elected terrorist Hamas to represent them. They hand out candy and flowers to children after a terrorist attack. After 9/11 they also similarly rejoiced and even brought in toys for kids depicting the airplanes flying into the WTC. So Marge, get your facts straight.
15. That's it Marge ...Blame the victim
Daniel ,   TA Israel   (02.04.08)
Yes only a person as pathetically biased as you must be will blame the victim in a terror attack. Of course we now know that those that died on 9/11 were at fault thanks to your incite. Had America not been so generous and allowed the Arab states to remain stuck in the 1st Century They would not have learned how to force planes into buildings Americans should never have built as they are good targets. Yes according to Marge if the Jews live by the sword (and in her view we do) then it is okay to die by it. Sorry Marge the intelligent world realizes that Israel has tried for years to make peace but has unreasonable in unwilling partners...not a surprise since these people hand out candy when they commit murder but scream and cry to the press about having no food for subsistence living
16. Of course there is humanitarian crysis!
Jonas ,   SAD   (02.04.08)
Of course these people are starving! Didn't anybody tell them that body cannot get the necessary proteines, fats and energy JUST FROM CANDIES AN FLOWERS? Give me a break! They break to Egypt and what do they buy? Explosives, candies and flowers.
17. #12 Eyal
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.04.08)
Check out today's London Times. The event is fully covered, as is a bombing of a bus in Sri Lanka in which 12 were killed, but the latter does not appear to be mentioned here in Ynet
18. stupid people: in lieu of their improvement, they are satisf
dante ,   uk   (02.04.08)
they are satisfied with news that they have killed or destroyed what others have done. how stupid can these people be? what have they done to build a decent society in the territory they control? nothing.
19. #17 This is a ISRAELI not international/global paper
Sasson ,   Har Nof, Israel   (02.04.08)
Have you taken care of your brothers and sisters before you have taken care of strangers?
20. No. 11
NYC Girl   (02.04.08)
Before you get too smug, don't forget these were the very same people who were passing out candy and celebrating in the streets after the attacks on 9/11.
21. Very Sad
abu Zaid ,   Ramallh   (02.04.08)
Israeli occupation, corruption and religous fanatics are the reason for this celebration. One day, all those intruders will vanish and we will see the true Palestinians, the smart, educated modern and peace loving people. This is not the time for the good.
22. #14 Yes,and not only!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (02.04.08)
Israel is helping and working with Colombia to fight narcotraficants and all the evil that country has suffered,I have just learnt. Israel is leader in technologies that has fed whole populations in some countries in Africa. I ,particularly,have a acquaintance who is working for one of this companies in Israel and she feels extremelly proud to work in such a company which exports technology of fishing for that purpose. Mind you,Israel exporting knowledge of fishing to feed whole hungry populations-such a tiny country with so few natural resources! When I go to the supermarket to buy the fruits and vegetables of Israel and in Israel ,I pray in joy.They are produced in almost deserts and are the most delicious I have ever eaten in my life.Ever! Our enemies will have the end they search , seek and look for:DEATH! That's what they enjoy! We love life,B'H!
23. Abu Zaid - Ramallah
Sammy ,   Newcastle UK   (02.04.08)
Abu Zaid Well said. Those morons seem determined to undermine efforts for peace and hope Whilst the overwhelming majority of Palestinians at home and abroad strive for a solution, like some ghastly ghoulish freak show these people would rather celebrate death and destruction with sweets and candy as some sort of great achievement. Hamas are leading Gaza down the road to nowhere. And for the people of Gaza who E Mail me saying we are powerless to do anything I say YOU ARE NOT. Take to the streets and make your voice heard that this is NOT what you elected them for. Abu Zaid we Palestinians can do so much with a State of our own. You want one, I want one. But its fools paradise to believe that this will be from the destruction of Israel. I know the MAJORITY of Palestininas feel this way. And so do the majority of Israelis. From both sides we have to take to the streets and march to demand an end to this ludicrous rotten blood letting and that the elected leaders get on with the job to finally end occupation and violence for ever. Whos for marching for peace!
24. how many times are we going to dream about an utopic peace
dovdevan ,   ashdod ,israel   (02.04.08)
peace can't be built beetween governement who are not representative of the population ! the palestinian population is still dreaming about recovering all palestine ! peace won't be possible until they will accept the reality of the state of israel ! even fatah who is in the peace process doesn't recognize the fact that we are a jewish state
25. abu zaid
CMl   (02.04.08)
Blaming others is for children; take responsibility. All over the muslim world, one reads about horrible terrorist attacks being perpetrated on your coreligionists- is that Israel's fault as well??? How do you explain loading 2 mentally deficient women with suicide belts and detonating them from afar?? And the people behind these heinous acts celebrate their "victories". Stop blaming the Jews- who are hardly intruders on their own land and come to terms with your own brainwashing.
26. i thought they were "starving" in gaza
jared ,   orlando US   (02.04.08)
now they have candy?
27. go on and celebrate
Jared ,   Orlando US   (02.04.08)
I dont know whether these people are more foolish or ignorant And people call them "innocent " civilians. Israelis may support the targeted assassinations of hamas, but they dont praise, rejoice and pass out candy when civilians are injured in the process. This is one of the many reasons why Israel is morally superior. plain and simple Such actions will get the pals no where and make their own lives more difficult they will never learn
28. to Squalid, excellent response
jared ,   orlando US   (02.04.08)
exactly what needed to be said to Marge
29. #15, Daniel
The Gentile ,   Denver, USA   (02.04.08)
I am in complete agreement with you, as well as everyone I know here in Denver. And, we are all Gentiles. Long live Israel!!
30. To #8
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (02.04.08)
You're full of it! German Jews were not violent people, and I can't wait for your explanation as to that bit of history in light of your stupid statement. Speaking of violence, watch your back!! The Indians might come and get you, yet.
