let me hear the talkbackers on here who always blame israel for everything defend this action. This is undefendable. There is no justification for stabbing an innocent elderly man. This man was not threatening anyone, he wasnt throwing rocks or molotov cocktails or driving tractors trying to mow down people. This was a completely innocent man. All of you people who justify this action are sick in the head. Let me hear now that this is because of Israeli "occupation" how can anyone even utter such disturbing things. God willing one day our lame duck government will grow a pair and realize that we are in a fight against pure EVIL and act accordingly

... but to murder an innocent old man? But what do you expect from an animal like him to do when his leaders in Gaza are targeting civilians and the West Bank terrorists are looking into ways of murdering Israeli kids at school. These "Muslim warriors" are nothing more than despicable animals who should be shot on sight as soon as they show a knife, stone or any kind of "harmless weapon". What I wonder is that all those coward Islamo-Lefitsts from B'tzelem barking "human rights" and feeding the terrorist propaganda machine, don't even have the dignity to condemn this murder. The only solution is to defend ourselves with whatever we got, so if anyone sees a terrorist with a knife, gun, stone etc. we should act immediately, mercilessly and decisively without waiting for the police to come and capture the terrorist alive. Kudos go to all those armed citizens and soldiers who shot the terrorists without any hesitation. A rabid dog that comes to bite you deserves death, not a life at the taxpayer's expense, and then freedom under a coward negotiation conducted by failed politicians.

Only a coward can kill a defenceless ,innocent 86 year old man.I hope the Palestinian killer gets life in prison & rots in hell.

Because they are cowardly immoral slugs who leave a trail behind them wherever they go and always pick on the weakest and most defenseless targets.

And tell me how many of these lowlife animals were released over the years from our jails after comitting the most henious crimes? Animals are animals it is us thats the problem. They behave the way they do because its in their blood, primitive cowardly despicable excuses for beings. But we let them get away with it, he is now being treated in hospital whilst his victim will have his funeral. And how long till he gets released? We are the fools!

are worse than animals. They channel their energy to hatred and destruction.

First barak, then Olmert with his cowardice and incompetence, now an israeli is killed and meretz doesn't want any punishment. The killer gets a slap on the wrist. who th ehell speaks for Israel> Ayalon, Oron, who speaks for Israel. livni is quiet as a mouse, and is anxious in negotiations which she should not be. Its politics. Livni at her core is not Olmert. She is apprehensive, but she is made of good stuff. I just fail to see how returning vital lands improves israel's security. i don't see it.

and get the Arab bastard, drag him out to the parking lot, and shoot him like the rabid dog that he is. Or, if that isn't 'fair' enough, let a dozen of the old gentlman's friends at the murderer with stones. Yes, stone him to death in the preferred Muslim way: bury him up to his waist, and then have at him. Then toss his miserable carcass into a pigstye to rot on its way to hell. So much for Arab 'martyrs.' If I got my hands on the person who murdered my father, I'd throw him into a wood-chipper without a second's hesitation.

sad, sad sad.

What the writer failed to do in this article was to translate what he heard or copied, there is no expression " salt of the earth" what the writer was trying to say was " king of the land " The victim was king of the land as all terror victims are. Salt in Hebrew is MELACH and King is MELECH, a school kid knows that, what a slip of low education. I am almost sure that this talkback won't be published as to save the writer embarrassment.

To destroy the terrorist's house, his neighbor's houses and to jail his immediate family including children for ten years.

From what people who knew him say, he was a wonderful man. May he rest in peace. And may his murderer get the death penalty.

there is an expression called salt of the earth and if i could translate it would mean a very worthy and humble being, doesnt salt bind cells together?

The mostly unfair and one sided European media does not inform about Israelis who get wounded or murdered in "singles initiated terror attacks" by Palestinian, but she does when such were committed by an Israeli on Palestinians. Fact is that I didn't hear about it here or elsewhere in Europe. Now, the same Press (Paris-based Reporters Without Borders (RSF), dares to condemn the Israelis "in their respect for press freedoms in conflict zones"... I could laugh loudly if this wouldn't be so damned sad...

How does this make you feel??? Your religion teaches you to respect the elderly, but you have failed to transmit such values to your youth. If you won't stop brainwashing the young generation and start teaching them how to love, to respect one another and how to appreciate life - you will all continue to live with blood on your hands. And believe me - this way the entrance to paradise with be for sure closed for you!

I knew nothing about this racist attack by an Islamic settler until I logged on this morning. The BBC censored the story.

Animals. We all know they are animals. They are probably throwing a party and giving out sweets in his town for such an act of bravery! Another courageous act of holy war.
