3. The story of the Jews-there is always a Dave that rescues us
Alan ,   SA   (03.07.08)
4. Punishment from G-d for disobeying the Torah
Squalid Ibn Harman ,   Qtir   (03.07.08)
G-d commanded Israel that all males 21 and older must join the army and defend Israel. The Haredim disobey the word of G-d and shirk their duties to their people. They depend on the non-religious and the minority of Haredim who do serve their country faithfully. If not for the IDF soldier and the former student accidentally visiting, the casualties would be MUCH higher. Apparently NO ONE there was properly armed or trained.
5. Every able bodied Jew either Male or Female must learn to
Bill   (03.07.08)
shoot weapons. That includes Jews in so called free countries. Should Israel be destroyed than those so called free societies will turn on its Jews. It will be Jew hunting season. Acquire legal arms and learn to defend yourselves. That includes everyone.

10. Why was the police officer outside?
Nadav ,   Netivot, Israel   (03.07.08)
Instead of standing outside, stopping Shapira from entering, the police officer should have been inside, stopping the terrorist.

14. shooting stories contradict each other
Pete ,   Boston USA   (03.07.08)
The IDF officer says he shot him in the back. Then the student shot him twice in the head. The student says he shot him twice in the head and then the IDF officer finished him off. Probably better if the terrorist is captured...I would think.
15. Israel deserve.....
Rex Pad ,   New York   (03.08.08)
to be destroyed if a Jew's life is worth less than the opinion of an idiot sitting in the office of Amnesty International. What is it you are afraid of Israel? That you cannot travel to France? Sweden? England? Because you may be charged for war crimes? That you exported good will be boycotted by some leftist groups? If you are afraid of all these, then you deserve to be killed by the Arabs because if you don't defend yourself, nobody in hell will stand up for you. So it is against Israeli law for private Israeli citizens to fire rockets into Gaza each time some animals fire Kassams into Israel. However, is it against the law to throw rocks into Gaza? If throwing rocks is not illegal, I suggest private Israelis build the ancient Roman seige engines in their back yard and hurl rocks into Gaza. I am sure rocks falling dowm 300 feet from the sky could do enough damage to these barbaric beasts. Just my thoughts.
16. A different solution - Well-being instead politics.
Jean Van Daem   (03.08.08)
Instead of counting the daily dead and injured Arab as a result of the terrorist war they declared on Israel, it would be wiser for the Arabs to abandon politics and terrorism, and search for a better future for themselves and their children, to choose well-being instead of politics and understand that a “Palestinian state” is mot the solution to and misery. Huge amount have already been paid by the international community in order to help these people but the only beneficiary were the Arab politiciens. Even if there will be a “Palestinian state” the conditions of the population will not improve. The solution to their misery is elsewere : they should think about emigrating, discretely, to other Arab countries, (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). That is the real solution as explained at : http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2008/01/new-paradigm-for-israeli-palestinian_19.html
17. This is how REAL ISRAELIS act
hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC, NY, USA   (03.08.08)
Congratulations to these two saviours of Israel. Sadly, we have a de-balled Israeli govrnmrnt, whose feckless actions only encourage more muslime violence. Killing and expelling muslim scum is the only way that Israel will survive. Islime has been engaged in a war against Jews for 1,300 years. To even negotiate with these vermin only encourages more islime violence against Jews. Instead of killing muslime terrorists on a one-by-one basis, the solution involves MASS EXPULSION of all muslimes from Israel, and burning ALL of Gaza to ashes. Leaflet and warn the Gazans, cut off all water and electric, and then torch/firebomb ALL of Gaza. A replay of what Hashem did to Sodom, to a vermin lowwer than Sodomites.

hymie zoltsveis ,   NYC, NY, USA   (03.08.08)
In a normal world, you might make sense, BUT when dealing with muslims, you might as well be speaking Latin to a fish. Study the history of islam and peace, from the 7th Century to presence. Islam wants the entire world to be muslim or enslaved to islam. Lying for peace (only to provide time to re-arm and re-attack) is the closest you will get. Israel's existence will NEVER be allowed by muslims. The whole of Europe is also threatened. Islam is NOT similar to any modern religion. It is an entire way of life and entire system. You can ONLY control islam by crushing it. SORRY, my friend, but there have NEVER been meaningful peaces with islam---only (at best) brief cease-fires, followed by islam re-attacking. Islam must be crushed and expelled from any lands that seek peace.
