2. YNet and cognative dissonance
Chatich   (02.05.08)
"...he was a normal person, a Hamas supporter..." Seems to me those two statements are mutually exclusive. Just when I though the leftist spin had finally hit bottom you guys go and get a shovel...
3. poor me, i'm so sad that i'll blow myself up & murder other
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (02.05.08)
hey world, that's what you get for encouraging these losers to feel like they're victimized - more stupidity and death. since whatever you give them they turn into something perverted, what do you think they will do with their own state?? get a clue.
4. Now keep an open mind
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (02.05.08)
I am seriously greived by news of the Suicide Bomber's depression. That such a circumstance could have placed such pressures on his psyche that he would have sought such an outlet to his blue funk by exploding himself in a commercial center and wound and kill innocents; is a real tradgedy. But, look on the bright side. The appropriately responsive skills of the Chief Inspector were able to open the bomber's mind(so to speak) and allow all of his depressive hostilities out. Ahhh. The wonders of modern ballistic medicine. I hope that this form of treatment is available to all of this sad young mans contemporaries, at an very early date, and certainly wish for proactive governmentally sponsored & provided regional care of the same type, prophylacticly for all these disturbed young persons.
5. If you have no future, at least go out with a bang
Dolores ,   Pamplona, Spain   (02.05.08)
Well if an occupying force comes along and destroys not just your home, but your village.. and later destroys your farm. I can see why those despondant folks might want to remove the occupiers from living too. Since all that is being discussed as "GIVEN" too them was part of what was TAKEN by force, it is not asking much. Just abide by U.N. 242 and the resolution that recognized Isreal, in PART of the area now claimed by the Jewish state.
6. #5 - Didn't you read the story?
Robby ,   San Jose, USA   (02.05.08)
He was depressed overy his parents divorced, and the lovely, peace loving HAMAS exploited him. But according to you - if you have been moved to a foreign Arab country, put in a 'camp', kept there for three generations, denied rights, citizenship, education, etc, then you should committ suicide? I guess we should start seeing suicide rates skyrocket in the 'refugee camps' of Lebanon, Egypt, Syria, etc, right?
7. Actually #5 Spain has hairy women
A spaniard ,   USA   (02.05.08)
It is very cute when a spaniard discusses what has been taken and given. Being that the whole Western hemisphere suffered because of your intrusion into lands of natives. Millions and Millions died, suffered due to your imperial aspirations. If your statements were true then why are the palis not trying to overthrow the Jordanians. If you can read only as far as resolution 242 you obviously are not very intelligent. What is historical palestine? Look it up and you will see that it extended beyond the JordAN river, incLUDING ALL of modern day Jordan. Now go back and make something of your life, instead of spewing propaganda.
8. Response to Dolores
Joel ,   US   (02.05.08)
First of all Dolores in 1948 Israel was surrounded by Arab armies ready to attack and had hostile Arabs within the country who did not accept the U.N. partition. Most of these arabs fled either from fear, promise of Jews being expelled from the land which they bought legally of Arabs or were given by the mandate. Yes some of them were kicked off their land but if your surrounded by hostile arabs do you need those who aid them all around or should you leave them there and be massacred just like in Europe? Also no matter what political side you are on how can you as a human being be alright with the fact that a man in emotional distress decided to kill civilians on purpose...thats sick
9. Depressed........PLEEEEASE
rachel ,   chutz for now   (02.05.08)
Another excuse for ?. Yes he might have been exploited but really...I am so very tired of hearing excuses. Does this give the people in W.Negev or ex-G.Katif permission to commit such things?
10. Dolores in Spain
israeli ,   israel   (02.05.08)
Please update me on this one: have any Jews or other heretics taken revenge on innocent Spaniards for what the Inquisition did to them? How did you treat your Jews, how did you treat those who chose to become Christians? What happened to the Jewish communities of Toledo, Cordoba, Granada, Sevilla, etc. There were Jews living in Spain long before there was a Spanish people as such. Have any Jews blown themselves up in Germany or Poland? Again, Jews apparently arrived in Europe, Germany for that matter, at the time of the Roman Empire, when the Germans were just tribes. What happened to the Jewish communities in Germany? How about you just abide by common sense and stop supporting terror? Because the UN may have recognized the borders of the Jewish State, but the Arabs have not, that's why they attacked Israel in 1948, 1967, 1973, and that is why they try to kill us all the time. Not because of the borders, because we are still here.
11. Dolores in Pamplona
Jane   (02.05.08)
Ah, Dolores, in the land of the Inquisition: Then by your reasoning, all Jews who suffered at the hands of others should have dealt with their grievances by blowing everyone up. Now, by my calculation, that would mean that almost all of Europe - and most certainly Spain - would have been blown up by Jewish avengers. But we started over, each time, educated our children to be good and productive citizens of the country in which we lived, healed Jew and gentile alike and asked only to be left alone. You are so filled with hate that you are impervious to logic.
12. PA education funded by Eurabia caused this.
David ,   Boston, USA   (02.05.08)
Stop the racist incitement. Teach peace and prosperity.
13. re: delores #10
Michael ,   Austin   (02.06.08)
sounds like duhloris is just a typical jew-hater... good job duhloris...jesus would be proud...oh wait...he was a JOOOO
14. If you spend all your hard stolen money
Ivri   (02.06.08)
On bombs and BMW's,ofcourse you will not have money left for Prozac. Shuk economy for Idiots 101.
15. OK I admit that I am anti-semitic
Dolores ,   Pampelona   (02.06.08)
16. kill yourself but do not take others with you into death!!!
(02.06.08)
or just get some psychological help. This is just no excuse for the pain he caused. But I feel sorry for the attacker after all as he had been brain washed believing it will sure be all better when "dying as a martyr". When does this insanity stop?????
17. My parents are divorced too!
Me Ma Mo   (02.06.08)
Good thing I dont go out on a killing spree !!! It seems that the Palestinians just need intensive anger management courses anmd then, maybe, there will be peace..?
18. Wither goest thou? I'm talkin' to you.
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (02.06.08)
Delores #15 Maybe all that exertion; running after perfectly nice Bulls who never taunted or offended you in any way, has sapped the oxygen from your brain cells, so badly needed for mental balance and health. You admit to being anti-Semitic? Who could have possibly guessed. Being stuck on stupid ain't no way to go through life, girl. Have a fino, some tapas and reflect on where your attitudes are going to take you. Hint: If the road is made of yellow brick, have another fino.
19. Depression
Abir ,   Chicago, IL   (02.06.08)
So that excuses his action, and is supposed to console the bereaved families and ourselves?????
20. Depresed people have no value for life
Adel ,   Bahrain   (02.06.08)
It would be a good idea if peace wins at the end where all the nations of the ME live in harmony . I believe that it can be done and the cost is certinley less than what has already been spent.
21. #5Spanish occupation of Andalucia
Raphael ,   Netanya   (02.06.08)
The brutal christian spanish armies destroyed the brilliant islamic civilization of Granada, forcibly expelling the muslim and jewish survivors in 1492. After 5 centuries of sterile occupation, it is time that the refugees blow themselves up at the Atocha railway station, starting a reversed Reconquista.
22. Adel
Jane   (02.06.08)
ALL nations, right Adel, including us who you do not recognize as being a nation?
