1. ISRAELPOVERTHROW THIS GOVERMENT, TAKE YOUR COUNTRY BACK ! !
..............DACON9   (03.07.08)
2. Tell Abbas and his fellow to go to Hell
R.Alkalai ,   USA   (03.07.08)
3. His comments are for western ears...
David ,   Hartford USA   (03.07.08)
But in Arabic he will praise the 'martyr' and say he was a hero to be emulated. Now we see what all the donated American/Israeli weaponry will be used for: slaughter of Israelis. Demolish the murderer's house and confiscate the property. Deport the rest of the family to Gaza.
4. Who did it?
(03.07.08)
5. Like accepting an apology from the parents of a murderer
Ian White ,   U.S.A.   (03.07.08)
It is a meaningless gesture from someone who won't take responsibility for their behaviour which could have prevented acts of terror. The State of Israel is also to blame for keeping such inept leadership in power when the situation clearly cries out for people with a yiddishe kop and real intestinal fortitude. Israel is at war. Tonight's attack screamed from the rooftops of Gaza that not one Jewish institution will be left standing. It's top to flatten those buildings in Gaza to send an even stronger message.
6. How much press did they pay off
(03.07.08)
to publish it.
7. EU and UN ???
Yessir Ibn Badkarma ,   Kanwait   (03.07.08)
Will the EU and UN come out forcefully against this use of DISPROPORTIONATE FORCE that this gunman used in spraying high school students with an automatic weapon ???
8. Israel Wake Up
Dave Levy ,   Burbank. Ca.USA   (03.07.08)
Abbas doesn't mean what he says (to the West) and says what he doesn't mean. He is giving a nod and a wink to his Arab brothers in Gaza, E. Jerusalem and the W. Bk. It's all about deeds and not words. He hasn't lifted one finger to adhere to the Road Map..where is he stopping terrorism. The Arabs are playing a clever game..giving a little to appease the onlookers, while allowing rocket launchings into Israel..selective murders of innocents, or wholesale carnage, as in Dimona and now the yeshiva. Until Israel gets active, takes the war to it's enemies.and gets serious about winning, more Jews will die,..Israel has become the laughing stock of the planet, and for good reason. Russia stops protestors with batons,.and Turkey sends 10,000 troops to Iraq. for far less provocation. Israel needs to get with it.and wake up.
9. Depravity?
Frank ,   Canada   (03.07.08)
Rice does not seem to regard funding or strengthening of Arab terrorists as depravity. Shame on her.
10. US Angel of death didn't worry about Gaza genocide
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (03.07.08)
.. all she cares about is destroying Palestine's elected government together with the people who dared to vote for it. This vulture woman's evil plot to start a civil war in Palestine were brilliantly exposed in April's Vanity Fair but of course the report has been smothered by the Zionist press lobby.
11. ENOUGH TALKING
Eran ,   Israel   (03.07.08)
I am so fed up with this current government and Bush. Talking has been going on for years and at what cost? What have we achieved, NOTHING but terror. Mr Olmert you are disgrace to Israel. You and your cronies need to step down and let someone who has the chutzpah to put Israeli lives first and to lead the country to victory by not putting with the Palestinian nonsense anymore. ENOUGH stuyot already!
12. #1
Eran ,   Israel   (03.07.08)
Israelis are all too stoned to overthrow the government. Israeli dont care, they take Israel for granted. Israelis will only start to act once it disrupts their life. Israelis will live life like nothing is happening and Sderot and the likes live their life in fear. Israeli society makes me sick how they sit back and allow this terror to go on.
13. Israel must punish
LAF ,   USA   (03.07.08)
Which country in the world would allow that kind of things to happen to its citizens without a full forth retaliation? How long would any country in the world tolearte daily attacks like on Sderot? Israel has the military might and the moral right to retaliate and if anybody doesn't like it so be it. The whole region in Gaza from where they launch rockets has to become a desert no matter how many arab lives it takes and what EU, civil rights activists or whoever else says. That is the only language of negotiations they would understand.
14. Justice
Yonatan Neff ,   USA   (03.07.08)
I've been thinking about it a lot and in my opinion the fairest and most sensible course of action to take in response to this shooting is to strip this kid's entire family of their citizenship. And by family I mean his extended family as well. If the Israelis can prove to Muslims both inside and outside their country that terrorism will consistently be punished in every case than the attacks will stop. When the next Muslim Israeli decides to go on a killing rampage he will have to stop and think if it's worth his entire family losing their citizenship. Once their citizenship is revoked they should all be informed that they have six months to leave Israel. And of course the roadblocks must go back up regardless of the inconvenience it causes Palestinians. There is no reason for Israel and Jews the world over to fear condemnation of their homeland. Jews and Israel are hated the world over (with the exception of a few sensible nations) and likely always will be. Changing foreign policy won't make the world like Jews or Israel anymore (unless it includes all of the Jews dying somehow). So, there is no reason to try and appease them. Take the necessary actions. And by all means stop putting Israeli soldiers at risk. We don't need ground operations into Gaza and Judea and Samaria. Israel has an excellent air force and is more than capable of blasting terrorists, their supporters, and their facilities wherever they are. Israel should start depleting some of those large missile stocks by putting them where they belong (down the mouths of terrorists).
15. Seething rage
Vince P ,   Chicago   (03.07.08)
I'm so angry that I can't even type my true feelings... All of our leaders (Israel + US) are corrupt and on the side of evil.
16. Take back the country
leah ,   USA   (03.07.08)
Its time to take back our country and forget the peace talks. Our kids were killed innocently. Forget giving up more land and endangering the lives of our fellow brothers.
17. Dr. Rice is a depravity
Steve ,   US   (03.07.08)
So is Prime Minister Olmert a depraved man for pledging to pursue peace talks with Israel's enemies, dedicated to Israel's destruction. Rice emboldens our enemies; Olmert arms and trains them.
18. peace talks
aharon ,   usa   (03.07.08)
don't you think "enemies of peace trying to derail peace talks" is getting a bit stale.
19. Violence
mike ,   USA   (03.07.08)
violence only brings violence. 500 palestinians were killed and injured the last few days in Gaza MANY OF THEM WERE BABIES, THE LATEST WAS KILLED YESTERDAY AND WAS ONLY 19 DAYS OLD, SHE WAS SHOT HER AND HER MOM TOGETHER IN A COLD BLOOD. TERRIRROISM IS THE SAME CAN ONLY GENERATES BLOOD AND SADNESS
20. Yes, Rice, the EU, and the UN are sorry...
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (03.07.08)
and express their condolences that more Jews weren't killed. That's the way they like 'em - dead. But Jews defending themselves - never.
21. Olmert will do nothing
Rod ,   Fargo N.Dakota   (03.07.08)
Till suicide bombers start bombing some of better cafes in Tel Aviiv where his rich corrupt buddies hang out.
22. Same tired old response...words, words, words...
BJL ,   usa   (03.07.08)
People of Israel. Take back your country and your Land. Defeat the enemy. Then and only then will you have peace.
23. Ansver to #4
greg ,   San Diego, USA   (03.07.08)
Olmert !!!!!
24. this would not have happened if Gaza Op continuned
Alan ,   Cape Persephone   (03.07.08)
Why did the Gaza Op stop? There was a guest for dinner whose boss needed to maintain support from certain countries to counter the threat of nukes. So the host called off the embarrassing gaza Op. And the terrorist saw the open door called weakness and walked right in. This is the tragic situation which allowed the terrorists to act. How do you close the door?
25. Israel: Attack will not deride talks
eddie ,   London UK   (03.07.08)
Olmert, did you supply the weapons and bullets to these terrorists?
26. This is what you get as a consequence of The UN Human Rights
me ,   here   (03.07.08)
Council on Thursday passing a resolution condemning Israel's military action in the Gaza Strip... It is also what we get for obeying Dr Rice's very bad advice. This is what we get for negotiating with terrorists (for the moment being dressed up in suits to look bettter, but still terrorists at heart).
27. A CIA Trained Mercenary Killed These Students
Akiva ,   Maaleh Adumim   (03.07.08)
The US military means to have unending war here. It is time for us to talk to the Russians, the Chinese, or whoever else will sell us weapons. We must talk to them and end dependence upon the US.
28. But what did Abass say in Arabic to his people?
3Jay3 ,   Israel   (03.07.08)
The Israeli people demand elections now!!!!!!!!! Enough of this appeasing fool Olmert......the man already has enough blood on his hands through his inactions and appeasement to our enemies. Abass has not even changed the Palastinian Charter calling for Israels destruction, and Olmert, Rice, Livni and Bush all know this!
29. call it what you want
sas ,   israel   (03.07.08)
let the other famouns LEADERS talk to these creatures. they do not even belong in forests or cages but only graves. we have no reason to sit down and talk to any one capable of doing what they did.
30. Demolish his house and deport whole famaly to Gaza!
Rehavam ,   Israel   (03.07.08)
including 3rd cousins.
