2. Unfortunately, strapping bombs on children

doesn't shock Reuters/MSM.
3. Yep, occupation really corrupts...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (08.27.08)
It's time to end the occupation called Palestine.
4. It's a very , very old attitude..Jews did it too!
Edithann, USA   (08.27.08)
All ethnic people did that in the very early days...even Jews/!!!...' Has nothing to do with occupation ..it has to do with culture..and isolation... Seems Israeli's have a thing about cripples, retarded and the mentally ill as they have a penchant for calling those with differences of opinions.. I've experienced it a number of times on this and the Haraatz comment lines..What's with calling names? TATA
5. Look another 2 prisoners released
zionist forever   (08.27.08)
I am surprised he didn't suicide them. If his kids died as martyrs to the cause they would be normal chidlren for him to be proud of. and they would even get 72 virgins each thrown in free of charge. This story reflects the intolerence that exists in the arab/ muslim world. There are no gays in Iran and palestians prefer to lock their kids in a dungeon because they dont want to be laughed at for bringing abnormal children into the world.

8. The father must be related to the British Royal Family...
Rivkah   (08.27.08)
That is what they do with epileptics and other less than well members. According to a German film company, Princess Diana survived the car accident and is a brain-damaged patient in a convalescent home on the French-Swiss border. The film company was paid off shortly before the story was to air on television. They were paid off by the British Royal Family. Then there was Prince John, the epileptic son of King George V and Queen Mary. He was kept hidden away. The Duke of Clarence was believed to be Jack the Ripper and he died an early death. American Presidents are the same way if they have a mentally ill relative that might be an embarrassment while in office. President Lyndon Johnson kept his alcoholic brother Sam hidden in the White House family quarters for five years. The Kennedy Family had daughter Rosemary put into a home for retards after forcing a lobotomy on her that cut out the front part of her brain to shut her up. Yessiree. There's the right way, the wrong way, and the Royal way.
9. My mother had my mentally ill oldest sister put into the
Rivkah   (08.27.08)
Arizona State Hospital in Phoenix, many times. There, Rachel was raped by the staff after being doped up with sedatives that were forced on her. She was sent to California many times for abortions and then forced to have a hysterectomy. It would have been kinder to have a basement for her to live in. In California, a woman I know named Margaret Feaver calls the police to have her grown daughter, a former school teacher named Patsy Willis put into California State mental health lockdown facilities in Fresno where Patsy is raped in the anus after being forcibly sedated by the staff. Stringy white semen drips from her anus when she wakes up and goes to the bathroom. It would be kinder for her mother to have a basement for her to live in. This father protected his children from psychopathic physicians and mental health staff who see the mentally ill as prey. At least these children were spared that.

14. Now that a psychiatric hospital has them, their fate will be
Rivkah   (08.27.08)
worse than death. Patients are sedated and raped by the staff and others in most mental health facilities if my oldest sister's experience is typical. They will shortly learn the physicians are crazy and that is why they studied psychiatry. The medicines they take will be poisons that make them feel suicidal and murderous so they feel like they belong there. They will be locked up and have few freedoms in their new abode. But at least they will see the sunlight.
15. So sad.

16. to #3 occupation has nothing to do with it
Asem ,   Palestinain   (08.27.08)
It is just being human. And you guys are having the Rose case going on. So don't try to be a smartass
17. # 16
Bill   (08.27.08)
Thank you but I think Joe in Ramat Gan is referring to the Arab who said the case with Rose was linked to the occupation.
18. medieval mentality.

19. #16 & #17 - Asem & Bill, Bill is correct...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (08.27.08)
Bill is correct, I was referring to Salameh in Gaza who said that the Rose case was a direct result of the Israeli "occupation". What Salameh fails to take into account, however, is 1400 years of Arab "occupation". Every response I have written so far here has had a link to that article and has been blocked from publishing (most likely because of that link). Salameh's unwillingness to respond to this article is a perfect example of someone who is unwilling to reap what he sows (which says a lot about the Arab-Israeli conflict in general, in my opinion)...
20. He shouldn't have married his sister
Stout Viking   (08.27.08)
Then he wouldn't have retarded children.
21. Not similar cases
Melissa ,   Sacramento, CA, USA   (08.28.08)
The case in Austria was of a man who imprisoned his daughter so he could rape her. The children from this union were imprisoned to conceal the crime. This guy just didn't want people to see that he had damaged children. It happens sometimes and this society doesn't accept it. I think they are different stories on many levels.
22. #8 What about FDR
