31. Ynet revealing that he's a pilot
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (09.27.08)
You have irresponsibly put his life and his family's life in danger. The identities of Israeli pilots is a great commodity among our enemies. They know his car and probably his license, what he looks like. Wise up ynet.
32. Insufficient response and disturbing outcome
AJ ,   Tel Aviv   (09.27.08)
An F-16 pilot is a valuable asset and millions of dollars have been invested in his training; he should not have endangered himself at all. Engaging in hand-to-hand combat is risky even for those who are well trained, particularly if it is one against many. The fight could easily have ended with the pilot having a broken arm or worse, putting him out of military commission. The pilot should have used his firearm to end this confrontation decisively and with less risk to himself. However, he was probably reluctant to do so because of the potential fallout and legal action that he would have had to face from the politically-correct regime that would likely hang him out to dry. Secondly. why didn't he call police from the scene of the incident and guard the Beduin until police arrived? Now these Beduin thugs have escaped and are free to terrorize other Israelis. An unsatisfactory outcome to a disturbing incident.

and is infinitly more effective.

[ shikse in the pejorative meaning here ]
36. Rebeccac , if your "god" loves you

Why did he made you such a stupid first abandoned and now abused woman of you ? A nice loving guy your "god" But what a fantasy in your writings . Don't forget to auto "recommend" your tb's
37. efforts are underway to locate two attackers' whereabouts
(09.27.08)
have they searched the functional area of imagination in the pilot's brain?

Thomas   (09.27.08)
It said the Bedouin escaped because other Bedouins carried them to the village. You think it will happen again? I think these guys, on second thought, will be glad they didn't meet the Israeli who would pull out a firearm. Secondly how large are these Bedouin villages that it will be impossible to find two guys who recently were beaten to a pulp?
39. #10 Ding Bat and cheezus lover
Tony ,   New York, NY   (09.27.08)
All IDF pilots carry side arms all the time in Israel. I suppose if someone is gullible enough to believe in a momzer as a deity they could certainly use their overactive imaginations on how to subdue two Bedouin. Short of shooting each arab between the eyes the pilot probably did the right thing. Rivkah, stop reading works of fiction like spy novels and the NT.
40. utter populist shit
Western ,   A Civilized Place   (09.27.08)
in a civilized country this article would be cited as evidence against ynet for racial incitement.... what would an american article read? "two mexicans get their just deserved or a british one "pair of pakistanis got a fist full of justice: on their faces"" this is such gutter trash i can't believe this website isnt blocked..... utterly shameful.
41. #7 do all soldiers have the liability to be kidnapped,

but not captured?
42. Rikvah, Delusions of grandure, LOL
Tony ,   New York, NY   (09.27.08)
The long list I have of the mentally impaired and people with debilitating psychosis contains the name Rikvah now.
43. #24 Rivkah
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.27.08)
It's too bad you didn't ask the Lord about buying the house instead of 'trusting' the realtor. You blame him when you should learn to seek the Lord instead of trusting in man. Psalm 118:8 Israel has the same problem trusting in everyone but Hashem for peace...and they wonder why it never comes ?
44. 34 Joe: In Israel, shooting a gun, even over the heads of
Rivkah   (09.27.08)
attackers results in a prison sentence, especially if the attackers are Arab, unless there are Jewish witnesses that an Arab attack was occurring like in the IDF off duty officer shooting a terrorist car driver and another shooting a terrorist caterpillar vehicle. Without Jewish witnesses in Israel, you have to defend yourself in other ways besides a gun. But if you want to take the risk of going to prison on a trumped up Arab charge, then by all means, use a gun.
45. Tony , NY # 42 , Only now ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.08)
She heads the list , with more points than all the others together .
46. Marcel , # 43 , you are in the same kindergarten
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.08)
as this rebeccaca , AKA rivka ? Six million Jews were waiting for a "hashem" , in vain , this does'nt exist .
47. If that happened in UK,Pilot would have been arrested and
Giles ,   London   (09.27.08)
made to face a full Court Martial . That the poor victims were innocent wayfarers would have been admitted to the Court. That they were Arabs would have been an agrevating factor.

49. This pilot is a great role model to our leftwing government
shamil benyaminov ,   NYC, USA   (09.27.08)
I salute to a pilot, who had guts to stand up for himself. We Jews always must show strengths or history will repeat itself. Not only the whole world blames us for all their problems but we should never allow them to attack us especially on our own land. I am very proud of his pilot; I know he will serve our country with pride and bravery. Toda raba Shana Tova to all
50. i guess peace now will be charging the pilot with assault

51. #46 Charles
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.27.08)
Your great faith in the fraudelent peacemaker of the superpower empire you bow to and religiously obey astounds me. Even though it's all lies you still follow the idol of Israel, Bush. Israel your sickness needs an immediate cure. Your replacement god, Bush has not delivered on the peace that so many in Israel religiously follow his Road Map instead of Hashems Road Map found in Exodus 23:27:33 your false god of no peace will fail you. Return to Hashem.
52. What a howler!
Cameron ,   USA   (09.27.08)
So ye say two Islamic warriors with weapons tried to whip down on the solitary Jew, and he left them a bloody, crying mess on the ground just using his bare hands? Guess those two are going to have to live with that grinding shame till the end of their days. Inshallah!
53. After using the Beduin's bats to break their bones should ha
meir elazar   (09.27.08)
After using the Beduin's bats to break their bones should have take the license plate numbers and broken all the glass and body of the cars to leave them a very painful reminder.
54. Why was this pilot not armed? Otherwise: Kol Ha Kavod!
David ,   Houston   (09.27.08)
Or if he was armed why did he not use his firearm? The ongoing lawlessness and savagery of the Arabs of Israel is intolerable.
55. Marcel , at least Bush is an existing person
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.08)
While your "god" is'nt existing at all . Million have seen Mr Bush , live , in person , talking , walking . Did you see this "god" in person , physically ?
56. Shamil , # 49 . At least he serves his country
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (09.27.08)
While you only call it "our own land" and so . It is'nt your land , it's the land of the Israelis .
57. Where were the Police?
Shalom Freedman ,   Jerusalem Israel   (09.27.08)
We can't all be experts in Self- Defense. If this kind of intimidation is routine on the roads of the South then this marks a major police failure.
58. THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IS..
SANDRA KLINE   (09.27.08)
IS THE PILOT A "RIGHTIST" ? DOES HE LIVE OVER THE GREEN LINE ?
59. DIDN'T THE PILOT VIOLATE THE...........

TENANTS OF HIS SUPREME COMMANDER ? We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being courageous, we are tired of winning, we are tired of defeating our enemies, we want to be able to live in an entirely different environment of relations with our enemies."

Debbie   (09.27.08)
9 year old Yitzhar boy who challenged marauder who had come to set house on fire was able to break the terrorist's knife, even though he himself had suffered multiple wounds. The child has now completely recovered. He saved people, he saved property. A nine year old! Please read story here: http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/127784
