31. how is this for an answer
Yisraeli   (07.10.08)
Some "dirtbag" in Polk County Florida who got pulled over in a routine traffic stop ended up "executing" the deputy who stopped him. The deputy was shot eight times, including once behind his right ear at close range. Another deputy was wounded and a police dog killed. A statewide manhunt ensued. The offender was found hiding in a wooded area with his gun. SWAT team officers fired and hit the guy 68 times. Naturally, the media asked why they shot him 68 times. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, told the Orlando Sentinel newspaper : "That's all the bullets we had!" (Talk about an all time classic answer!!!) http://www.snopes.com/crime/cops/judd.asp
32. So you want another Kuntar to release?
m ,   Toronto   (07.10.08)
Trying to cover up for the police mistakes that cost the life of a young woman. Shame on you!
33. Wonderful !!!!!!!
Doris   (07.10.08)
Thanks to this a baby will never have maternal care.
34. A new way to arouse the unconscious
Sidney ,   USA   (07.10.08)
Maybe they should try it at hospitals. “The police officer’s partner who hopped into the driver’s seat saw that the driver was unconscious and therefore put down his gun and didn’t shoot him. Regrettably, a civilian who hurled a stone at the terrorist aroused him.”
35. Mickey is a mouse
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.10.08)
Better to make sure morons like you and Olmert won't be able to exchange terrorists for dead bodies. Every single terrorist is attempting to murder Jews. That is a WAR CRIME known as genocide. Execute all the terrorists now!
36. Confirmation
Yehuda ,   Bklyn-Yerushalayim   (07.10.08)
This is probably what happended: Nachum shot him but he was still able to function. But he faked that he was neutralized. When a rock hit him he figured that his pretence wasn't helping so he took up his blue collar murderous work again.
37. Levy Reveals Why Israel is Finished
Dan Friedman ,   NYC USA   (07.10.08)
It won't be Iranian nukes which will destroy Israel, it will be the millions of Israelis who think like Levy.
38. Nonesense!!!
Natan   (07.10.08)
Enough with the "morality "crap. Enough with the "we are better then them" bullshit!!! If i to choose between morality or staying alive, the morality is out the door!!! You cannot apply morals when it comes to fighting terror/
39. Liberalism is destroying Israel.
Gary A., MD ,   Boston USA   (07.10.08)
40. Killing the terrorist after he's been nutralized is..
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (07.10.08)
immoral and no less of a terror act. The fact that the civilian was hailed as a hero speak volums about the state of the Israeli society and puts it in the same shamful rank as the uncivil palestinian one.
41. DEPORT MIKEY LEVY!!!!
DJ Sac ,   TA   (07.10.08)
42. Mickey Levy
Juan ,   Spain   (07.10.08)
Your article is moralistic poppycock.
43. Terror scum
GABE! ,   Toronto ,Canada   (07.10.08)
Terror scum must be killed every time they rear their ugly heads. No prisoners to feed and later exchange. It is immoral and stupid to take prisoners. THESE terrorist scum came to KILL. Kill them and sent them to hell to meet their virgins there.
44. If only Samir had been dealt a lethal end.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (07.10.08)
45. how sad
Aharon ,   givat shmuel, israel   (07.10.08)
Sad that the chief of police in the capital of the Jewish state wouldnt know a Jewish idea if he tripped over it. As the Rambam rules, those who have mercy on the enemies of the Jewish people have Jewish blood on their hands.
46. #5
Korem ,   New York, USA   (07.10.08)
You don't know anything about morality.
47. Feedback so far
eddie ,   london   (07.10.08)
Noone agrees with Mickey Mouse of the police. Unfortuantely, the state of Israel is not run democratically, and the policies are determined by the old zionist cronies, even when they are not in office.
48. This morality is killing us
J   (07.10.08)
We've become so confused that we've forgotten just what morality means. In our attempts to be perceived as 'moral' we've forgotten true morality. Morality is not what the UN, America or Europe dictates to us what to do. Morality is not looking out for the welfare of our enemies at the expense of Jewish lives. Morality begins with our own people. To be truly moral we have to do what is necessary to save our own citizens and defeat our enemies in the war of destruction they continously choose to launch upon us. Acting any other way is nothing but cruelty - both to our own people and to the innocents on the other side as well.
49. "What Morality"?
MCW ,   USA   (07.10.08)
It is moral to shoot and kill terrorists. Not to give them an opportunity to live and kill again. Also, why is their not a death penalty for terrorists who kill. It is immoral not having such a penalty. Maybe Israel will have no living terrorists to exchange.
50. Maybe pal but it works.That lunatic .....
Eric........ ,   Israel......   (07.10.08)
would have killed more people.Just let them see us put a bullet in is head,there is know other way.You live by the gun you die by the gun.
51. #40 "immoral and no less of a terror act"
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.10.08)
So the mob who beat to death Natan-Zada after he was subdued and handcuffed should be put on trial for murder?
52. what is wrong with you israelis???
(07.10.08)
you want to live like americans with political correctness, with gentle laws, with fairness clauses. you are not america. you do not live in a region that affords you security like the usa and mexican border. you live in a region with 22 enemy nations that have no quams about political correctness, that will murder you at any given opportunity, that will annihilate you without any court order, without any consideration for political correctness. you live in a region where pc is not an issue. while you are trying to be civil, good jews, law abiding jews, show concern for the other side, exhibit humanity that is not shared by your 22 foes....they are continuing to kill you, and you are questioning how to deal with terrorists? enough of this pc and reliance on world opinion. the world doesn't live door to door with your arab terrorists. they have no clue what israelis are going through on a daily basis, they have no experience with security issues as you do. your situation is not only dangerous, but unique because most of the world nations do not live like you in constant danger. wake up! while you are trying to make laws to please the world and be politically correct and "humanitarian" as a democracy should be, your enemies have non of the above considerations and they surely do not practice them. one must do away with terrorism any way they can. if it means killing the terrorist after capture, so be it! you don't stop to question the humanity of your actions because that terrorist has no intention to respect your code of ethics. seems to us in the world that you concentrate more on making rules to "honor" your enemies and be "humane" that protecting your people in any way you must. stop the pc already. stop relying on world opinion because, believe me, the world doesn't give two hoots about your possible demise or your possible dead during terror attacks. no different than the world attention to your extermination in europe for 10 years while world bodies could have saved you and rescued you in the millions and avoided your 6 million dead. protect your rights to safety and existence in any way you can because the world is not here to protect you. the world could care less. they care about oil, not dead jews. stop letting the world body play with your security and the way you handle your terrorists. enough! no country in the world would accept your present situation on your borders. no country in the world would think twice about shooting terrorists dead upon capture. look at what the usa is doing in iraq! do you think they care about the life of captured al qaeda? do you think they care or wish to keep the iraqi insurgency alive? NO! this is war, no matter the circumstance and in war people die, are captured, etc... play by your rules, not by the world community rules who could care less if israelis are dead or alive.
53. If you going to shoot, shoot - don't talk.
Good, Bad and Ugly ,   Haifa   (07.10.08)
54. to #51: Definetly YES
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (07.10.08)
55. Mickey Levy is a disgusting and sick individual.
Etoile ,   Montreal, Canada   (07.10.08)
That is all I can say. If you want a more detailed explanation, I suggest you look at any other talkback to this article. That pretty much sums it all up.
56. 2 head shots and he's stunned?
Joe   (07.10.08)
What was she shooting? A BB gun?
57. M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e
Paladin ,   Jerusalem   (07.10.08)
He is campaigning for office...say the politically correct words...cops: don't worry, the upper eschelon will support you....yeah....there's also a tooth fairy
58. #31 Yisraeli - Great Story. Thanks.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (07.10.08)
59. WAISTING OUR BREATH
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (07.10.08)
One can see from the many TB's, were a lod of people have the right notion of what is going on here. But the high and mighty elitst Humanitarians backed by our bolshevick censors at Ynet , get to say their say in order to support our allmighty secular Herzelism. Many times even without any insult to anyone ,Ynet censhorship makes sure that many facts and observations are omitted from their webside in the TB's. In their arrogant pretensious way, they think that they are the ones that have the moral upperhand . That this goes at the expense of their co-citizens is of no concern as long as it does not hit to close to home. It is great to come up with all this lofty I am better then thou stuff, as long we do not look at all the skeletons these same people have in their closets.
