31. #2. Back in time so quickly to tell the story?
Jake   (07.29.08)
Since when is chasing people into the village murder? Looks like you have trouble getting your story straight.
32. Peaceful protest: Officer struck in the eye by a stone
Jake   (07.29.08)
I found this in Haaretz, of all places: "A Border Police officer was wounded during the protest when he was struck in the eye by a stone. He was taken to the Sheba Hospital in Tel Hashomer, where he was undergoing a series of tests to determine the extent of the injuries and the possibility he may lose his eye." http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1006664.html Once again, what really happened at this "peaceful demonstration"? Do you have journalists there at Ynet? Then investigate, instead of reporting Pallywood propaganda.

Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
Right!!!! 100%!!!!!!
34. Murder
Solomon ,   Tel-aviv   (07.29.08)
The demo started peaceful. infact we were joking that it was so peaceful and infact i was the only injury by a guy throwing a stone as a joke. but then, the Soldier's captain had a sudden order and all the soldiers threw gas for ego reasons. Then palestinian kids threw stones and the bullets from soldiers came out. 100% - Soldiers started this.
35. Great

Now that there was that other shooting incident in Naalin last week, somehow I find it strange that such an incident would happen again, in light of the actions that were taken. This seems to be very fishy to me. Why aren't Israeli soldiers equipped with cameras? IDF? Why isn't there a camera on each riffle to film what happens if and when shooting. I think that while there may indeed be abuse, this sounds very strange to me especially after what happened last week. I also read someone posting that they were at the peaceful protest and that this was murder. Sometimes, when you are somewhere, you are not sure exactly what is happening. Easy to condemn. We hear that there are problems there every day. Of course, the IDF is the only one creating the problems, the protesters are always peaceful. IDF, please take action to better document things!
36. This story expires tomorrow
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
where it will be made public that it's a fabricated story, as usual, just to put the blame on the IDF. WAIT AND SEE! And we'll all find out that this kid was killed by the Arabs – perhaps even by his own family - then placed next to the anti-fence protest.

Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
Bravo!!!!!!
38. 12
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
Absolutely correct!!!
39. 14
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
The world sees what leftist media (so called "main stream") wants it to see.
40. 18
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
What country in the world would tolerate fifth column like the Israeli "peaceniks"?!

Bravo, Reveca!

(07.29.08)
it's not solmon. solmon is used in arabic to mean "solomon". you are an arab impersonating a jew. i was in na'alin too and there was no way the idf shot that boy on purposed. you arabs bring your children to the most dangerous places of war and produce vile and violent demonstrations. this was a violent demonstration. it wasn't a calm one. what are children of 11 doing there anyway? who allows for kids to be involved...only arabs who count their blessings when one of them is killed, so that they can point a finger and complain. remember...you are the one that says life means nothing and death is bettet, because this is what distinguishes jews from arabs and muslims. jews love life and we love death.
44. Solomon = Salaam (no joke)
Chaim ,   Negev   (07.29.08)
45. Solomon, post on Guardian's site; they'll believe you.
AK   (07.29.08)
Your taqyiya doesn't really work here very well.
46. 27
Rosie ,   Israel   (07.29.08)
A wonderful thought!
47. why are kids out throwing stones at soldiers?
Mike ,   NYC   (07.29.08)
I want to see what would happen to an Iraqi kid if he comes up to a US soldier and throws a rock in his face. Hypocrits. why arent they in school? Oh thats right, the 'Palestinian' education system teaches them to kill the jew wherever they see one.
48. #12 you are right ..except
Mike Sjovic ,   NY USA   (07.29.08)
it still does not justify murder especially a child.
49. Sitting peacefully under his ancestral family olive tree
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (07.29.08)
Yeah, and all the Gaza tunnels are to bring in milk, diapers and baby food.
50. The fiasco is over
Jan ,   Sweden   (07.29.08)
for some reason IDF decided to make the Naalin "humane dealing with protestors fiasco" ... maybe because it is one of the few with foreign protestors left.. but things are getting out of hand... trgger happy soldiers can play the game no more
51. 30
Leah   (07.29.08)
I agree 100 percent. You never hear these outraged folks that constantly attack Israel over supposedly killing innocent people,even when the facts are disputable like in this case, show a single word of outrage when Arabs kill other Arab children like the 4 year old girl who was killed just a few days ago in the carbombing in Gaza, or the dozens of innocent Iraqi women and children massacred yesterday in Iraq by the suicide bombers..
52. #34 save your time and breath
Mike Sjovic ,   NY USA   (07.29.08)
it does not pay to be righteous among Israeli society. you are minority and give it up. i envy and feel sorry for you at the same time.
53. It's a jewish thing! The daily killing of women and kids
lydia ,   Brisbane, Australia   (07.30.08)
It has become almost ritualistic. Every day some poor woman or some unfortunate child is blown away to satisfy the IOF blood lust! A more blatant and obvious reason why there can be no Peace! Ship this unGodly regime back to Europe from whence they came.
54. #21 congrat for raising a good son
Mike Sjovic   (07.29.08)
but there are other "sons" of other "mothers" who are not so good. so please save the BS.
55. Why he is not in the School ?
Ali ,   Gaza   (07.30.08)
He is not in the schioo because the wall across the school and the tacher cannot reach the scool !!
56. #52 How is this protest righteous?
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.30.08)
The purpose of the security fence and its success at keeping Palestinian terrorists out of Israel is well established. What is the point of these protests other than to cause a violent provocation, hope someone gets injured and misuse IDF and Israeli law enforcement personnel? This Solomon or Salaam, admitted Palestinian kids threw rocks. In this scenerio that occurs regularly, you can predict someone will get hurt. That makes for good propaganda which is the purpose of these protests.
57. #26 Dave
GUH   (07.29.08)
Your child murderer "officers" should not have been in those Palestinian villages in the first place, let alone building walls and firing on protesters. Rocks versus tear gas and live ammunition: what bravery, no?
58. #24 Cynthia
GUH   (07.30.08)
((What type of people cross into Israel to murder Israeli children, then protest a security fence built to save lives?)) What people have occupied the Palestinian territories, murdering children at will, and built walls (destroying everything in its path before construction) to ruin lives? ((What type of people send their children to throw rocks at soldiers and provoke a confrontation while they hide behind a protest?)) A misconception: the children are bravely confronting your soldiers with nothing more than slingshots and stones not at the behest of their parents. And don't try to play innocent: you are not free to invade these villages and cities to commit what mischief you commit on a daily basis without being confronted by some disgruntled citizens. The blame for the confrontation and subsequent deaths (e.g. 11 year old Ahmed Hussam Moussa); it is amazing how every time an incident like this occurs apologists like you try to deflect. ((And if you're going to inaccurately claim 61 deaths of children, shouldn't you point out the majority of these minors died while involved in hostilities?)) Correction: since the start of this year over seventy two people under the age of eighteen have been killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers. Source: http://www.rememberthesechildren.com/remember2008.html And seeing from the list of children listed it seems that these children could not have participated in hostilities at all; there deaths were caused by indiscriminate gunfire or reckless conduct. If that number is incorrect, then please: provide a more accurate count and source. People like you seem to be very paranoid when there is information incriminating you, yet you provide very weak or invalid counter-arguments. ((You need to ask Palestinian parents why they don't do a better job protecting their children and Israel should make these useless protests illegal.)) Meaning you want the parents to detain their children inside their homes 24/7. Again, you are trying to deflect from the fact that your soldiers have murdered yet another person who posed no threat at all to your "boys." But your boys are common criminals and it is time for you to realize that.
59. violence! from which side?
observer   (07.30.08)
He was shot once in the head at close range with live ammunition. According to eye witnesses a group of youths attempted to remove coils of razor wire from land belonging to the village. Without warning, they were fired upon and Ahmed was killed. http://www.palsolidarity.org/main/2008/07/29/10-year-old-shot-dead-at-nilin/
60. #50: "fiasco" is not over. Go and protest Iran's genocide...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (07.30.08)
... against Arabs and hang on Iran's Nuclear Facilities fences if you have the balls - "brave foreighn protestors"... But you don't! You are fat with Anti-Semitic and racist indoctrination and prefer "de-luxe" demostrations which appear well on TV instead of fighting the real scourge of the world - Islamic terror and racism, and global terror. You are just a heap of pathetic cowards barking behind the fence - pun intended. Let's see you go out on real streets and bite real thugs!
