31. Same rules should apply to Jewish terrorists as well
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (07.02.08)
32. #23
Yonatan ,   haifa   (07.02.08)
The only message we send to terrorists is to commit more terror. Destroy their houses and they have one less thing to lose, and more to gain in martyrdom. House demolition, upsets an innocent family (including children and elderly), who were not players in the act. Isn't this an act of institutional terror. The best thing Olmert can do is RESIGN. But for now he only breeds more terrorists.
33. gods true people love omert
benice ,   riverside ca.   (07.02.08)
PM Olmert is doing the right thing,defending irael. if you read the old testiment, the lord destroyed all members of the families. olmert is only taking there home. they still have there lifes. and that only by the grace of the lord. God bless
34. does this mean we will be demolishing olmerts home
zionist forever   (07.02.08)
He has done more damage to this country in two years that palestian terrorists have ever done and he wants to do more damage in the the name the nobel peace prize with his name on.
35. re Punish the innocent
Beni ,   Teaneck, NJ   (07.02.08)
it matters not if the arab was israeli or not. it matters not if he had an approval of other arabs. what matters is that jews don't behave like that and arabs do. consequently it makes sense to remove ALL arabs to arab countries out of israel. if no jews can live in arab countries (witness ethnic cleansing of gaza before the terrorists deemed it fit for an arab country - no jews allowed there), then no arabs should be allowed in israel. tough! implementation should be quite simple. begin with the families of known murderers. like this one. out! and another thing: no arabs on har habayit until kever Yosef is returned to the Jews.
36. #32, No Arab in Israel is innocent--they are ALL terrorists
Antonio ,   Haifa   (07.02.08)
37. Rami 31 That Can't Be Done Legally
Bill ,   US   (07.02.08)
While it may seem right to you to deport destroy a Jewish family's home and deport them to Gaza, it would mean establishing new settlements in Gaza. We can't have that now, can we? Oh well. Lucky for the Arabs that they have so many countries of their own to be exiled to.
38. Burn his body in petrol in Eastern Jerusalem
Jonathan ,   JHB South Africa   (07.02.08)
Take his dead corspe, and burn it outside his house. Let his wife and kids see what happens to terrorists. Its not inhumane to deal harshly with terrorists which have no compunction in murdering innocent civilians
39. Demolish terrorists' homes
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (07.02.08)
Olmert and Barak are just cover names for Shimsom and Yuval. The whole family should be deported to Gaza, then we all know the two clowns with the help of Livni won't do a thing, after all what would Condi have to say about it?
40. after students were murdered he alow terrorist mourning tent
zionist forever   (07.02.08)
When the yeshiva students were murdered Olmert started with his usual tough talk but not only did he not order the house to be demolished but instead he let the dead terrorist family put up a mourning tent for over a week in Jerusalem itself and to begin with had the Hamas flag waiving from this tent for about 2 days untill the polce were ordered to take down the Hamas one but the PLO flag stayed. The mans relatives in Jordan also wanted to put up a mourning tent but they were told straight from the start no tent but we let them put it up and keep it up. Today Olmert talks tough over Gaza but 5 days into his beloved 6 month truce rockets were fired but he insisted the truce was holding. Now two days after a rocket was fired from Gaza Olmert ordered the crossings reopened and the shipments of cement, fulel and other supplies Hamas will make good use of. He has been trasfereing millions of dollar to Hamas. He releases men who smash the heads of children for corpses. Lets see if Olmert is willing to get into that bulldozer and destroy that house or if he will quietly drop the idea once the media have another story for the headlines. Wouldnt want to do anything to risk the Hamas truce or the nobel peace prize process.
41. To Everyone:
(07.02.08)
The terrorist is from Tzur Baher which is an Arab Village In WEST Jerusalem not East Jerusalem. I live across the street from this village in the Jewish neighborhood of Armon Hanatziv. It would not be in the governments best interests to "raze" this terrorist family home as this would cause much, much tension among the Jews and Arabs that live in such close proximity w/ each other.
42. You Will Remain Targeted
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem - ISRAEL   (07.02.08)
Tell you directly: Israelis,especially civilians,will remain targeted by Palestinians until Israel starts playing fair game with them.Otherwise remain psychologically prepared to be targeted any time anywhere. From ElAl 1968 to Munich 1972 to Ma'alot and Kiryat Shmona and Kikar Tsion 1974 to Jonathan Netanyahu 1976 to Ma'gan Micael EGGED bus in March 1978 to IDF H.Q. in Tyre,Lebanon 1982 to 2 Intifadas to numerous Israeli buses being blown up in 1996 and 2003 to Mercaz Harav to bulldozer along Jaffa street, etc... You will not live comfortably unless the Palestinian problem gets solved justly and fairly... Until then :GOOD BYE ... !!!
43. The only effective response to terrorism
Ephraim Rauch ,   Bnei Brak, Israel   (07.02.08)
There is one single response which is effective: find out what the terrorist wants to obtain, and do the contrary. What do Arab terrorists want ? Land. If after every terrorist attack Israel would take land inhabited by Arabs and populate it with Jews, terrorism would stop.
44. Don't destroy home, Destroy the source of hate. The mosque!
Yonatan ,   Nahariya   (07.02.08)
Every day across Israel muslim clerics extol martyrdom and the islamic way is to kill Jews. It is a message preached incessantly in mosques for the consumtion of arabs. I say stop this incitment by destroying al the pagan mosques and deporting the hate filled clerics. Where do you think this religious war is emanating from? Certainly deport the family and destroy the home but the mosques are the source of Jewish murderers and where it is praise openly!
45. to #2 You Idiot ...
Acting Lawfully ,   USA   (07.02.08)
Israel does "remain a nation of law" -- you lawfully demolish the terrorists family home, and lawfully remove any benefits his family receives then you lawfully pass all those benefits to the families of the victims.
46. First check for candy wrappers in Tzur Baher,if so bulldoze
Alan ,   SA   (07.02.08)
47. #5
eli   (07.02.08)
Because they teached him to hate. Send his dead body instead of Kuntar.
48. #42. I do admire you for your honesty.
Jake   (07.02.08)
49. About terrorist......
miron ,   ny   (07.02.08)
but the same way Jewish must figer out with Olmert govenrment who release Kuntara, who hand shake with Abu -Mazen/munhen 1972/.Olmert go to jail.
50. traitors olmert and barak's homes should be razed
chaim ,   brooklyn ny   (07.02.08)
these two criminally insane traitorous pathetic cowards homes should be razed,and these two swines,should be put on trial for high treason,and if found guilty,should be hanged by their miserable necks
51. #42 is a potential terrorist - investigate this!
Malia ,   Israel   (07.02.08)
Ynet can get his IP. This guy imight just be a terrorist. He's threatening Israelis. Security should track him down, He gives his info: Abdel Karim Salim , Jerusalem stalingrad_43@yahoo.com
52. Arab-free Israel needed now.
Efroim ,   Washington DC   (07.02.08)
We dont need to hire monkies to do a mans job.
53. Destroy his whole clan's homes!
Uri Goren ,   Lod, Israel   (07.02.08)
That will teach them never to murder people again. Send his clan to Arabia where they belong. End of problem!
54. his children should be taken away
david ,   new york   (07.02.08)
it is no different bringing up children in a terrorist home than bringing them up with a parent who is a child molester. the children should not be left in such an environment and should be taken away by the state and put in a group home or foster care.
55. #8 Miriam you sound like an Arab imposter
(07.02.08)
who's trying too hard to make Jews look bad.
56. Destroying the Homes of Terrorists
Miriam Joyce ,   Chicago, IL USA   (07.03.08)
Yes, punish the terrorist if he is not killed during his attack. But why punish the innocent for crimes they did not commit? Is that how a democracy ought to operate? What happened to the "light unto the nations concept?" Of course, Israel must protect itself, but destroying the homes of innocent children may simply produce more terrorists.
57. #1/8 Miriam & #42 Abdel Karim Salim are the same.....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (07.03.08)
Brainless idiots with pure hatred in their hearts who are the reasons we are at war. Miriam thinks a muderer on a bus who guns down people simply because they are arabs is a tzadik. Only a person with a filthy, dirty evil mind would say a thing like that. You had better repent for all of hatred, Miriam, before next Yom Kippur - you will have to pay a price for it some day. The other, Salim, thinks murdering innocent civilians, women and children is the road to peace for his "people." Would that we could take all people like these, demolish their homes and deport them. To where - who cares? The rest of us would get along just fine.
58. #53 - No, Uri, its not the end of the problem...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (07.03.08)
Do you really think the destruction of a house or 100 houses is going to stop piguim?
59. To # 51
Abdel Karim Salim ,   Jerusalem - ISRAEL   (07.03.08)
You have made me burst out laughing... I simply express my opinion, nothing else and nothing more... I would n't be revealing my real name and e-mail address if I were doing something wrong or illegal... Paranoid and hypersensitive you must be...
60. Do it now! It is one of the only things that will deter
BJL ,   usa   (07.03.08)
them from doing these kind of things. If a terrorist knows his family home will be destroyed, they will think twice about it. You must do it. It is not physical harm to them, like bombing them indiscriminately like Hamas and Hizbullah does to Israel. It is mild but effective.
