31. You killed 500 people
some one ,   Ireland   (01.04.09)
until today what in god you talking about its shammmmmm
32. #9 Danny you are so right. GUH cant think past his ego
"Shoot and Cry" ,   Palliwood Studios   (01.04.09)
That's an excellent post. GUH and friends, dont apply any thought to the events and processes that lead to these tragic events. Certainly not in a balanced or fair way. Just WHY were the kids there? I can hear the lame excuses now. Quite simply we ALL know - those with ANY commonsense that we would make sure our kids were not in the firing line. Have the Pals EVER asked for their women and children to be evacuated???
33. #22. a free man's babble
Sigfried S. Kuhn ,   Aberdeen   (01.04.09)
#22 is unbelievable. He blames everything on the "occupation". Evidently, #22 has been experiencing Rip Van Winkle syndrome as he must have been totally asleep during the last several years. He is either unaware that there is no Gaza occupation as all Israeli civilians and IDF personnel evacuated Gaza. Either that or he does not feel that a lie against Israel is immoral as long as it convinces stupid people to feel sorry for the Palestinians. #22 cares little about Hamas' stated goal of destroying Israel. Neither does he care about the civilians in the Negev communities who have been bombarded by thousands of rockets launched at Israel from Gaza. #22 also distorts the views of supporters of Israel who have commented about the article. The vast majority of Israelis, as well as Israeli supporters in the diaspora do not rejoice in casualties among Palestinian civilians. However, they do ignore the Palestinian tactics of placing terrorists among the civilian population in order to raise the number of Palestinian deaths so that more people will sympathize with them. To these merchants of death, a dead Palestinian is desired as much as an Israeli casualty because it helps them win the propaganda war. By the way, #22, did you happen to see the news that Hamas killed 35 Fatah members and shot others in the leg? Defend that and defend the rocket attacks on Israeli civilians.
34. the creator knows best
palestinian american ,   USA   (01.04.09)
1400 years ago God revealed in the Quran holy book all the aspects ,a full disclosure i mean, to a jew's personality ...no exception to the rule of course because he did not mention any exceptions , the one that stick in my mind and in the mind of 1.5 billion muslims in the world is this one .. i won't quote but i will say the meaning .. "they have hearts harder than stones because rivers and water can come from stones ....and i am aware (god ) of what they are doing " . reading about the incident and some of your readers,s comments confirm this . no exception till judgement day . few minutes ago they showed on aljazeera a man lost 6 of his CIVILIAN boys . those people and others will never raise the white flags ..they'll invite you in then you know the rest of the story.
35. #22
Mike ,   MW, USA   (01.04.09)
You are not 'a free man from USA'. You are a brainwashed Islamic moron. Learn English good enough before sending your idiotic posts to any websites.
36. To #1 and #17
Andrew ,   FL, USA   (01.04.09)
#1 how dare you! there are more innocent people in Gaza then there are terrorists. You are no different than any of the the terrorists who preach hatered and death. You talk big on the internet, but i am sure you are a coward and have never seen war. YOU MAKE ME SICK and are the reason that the world hates your country and people! I hope you get what is coming to you...a grad rocket on your home...so you know how it feels. There will never be peace in your "unholy land" with people like you (religious zealots and right wing idealouges) around. #17 the reason they can not leave is cause your country does not let them leave. They are forced to stay because of your illegal blockade. Your forces have cut their terriority in two and are letting anyone move out of harms way.
37. 22 Arab states - all pro-terrorist
Frank ,   USA   (01.04.09)
why should Gaza be any different?
38. Take a look at the Arab world. What do you see?
Dan ,   USA   (01.04.09)
Yemen, Gaza, Somalia, Sudan...Saudi Arabia...that is what they are all about: pain, violence, revenge, hatred and martyrdom,
39. #5, 12, 13
Hicham el Guerrouj   (01.04.09)
You have no moral objection to the killing of five innocent people- a whole family in any case. You object to the article's picture. Truly you are evil ones.
40. #30, thank you Talula
GUH   (01.04.09)
For your vulgar filled rant.
41. its hamas fault. plain and simple. gaza citizens voted wrong
ralph   (01.04.09)
now must face responsibility for their vote. called taking responsibility for ones actions. i know this is a new concepts to arabs and haaretz but a true one nevertheless.
42. To the family
Sagi ,   Israel   (01.04.09)
It was not the IDF who killed your loved ones ,it was Haniya. Find him and string him up. Oh no you won't be doing that because you have a shortage of heros. You will probably want to write him into the history books on a par with Salah a Din.
43. it is not safe, handy or cheap to store in mosque, so why
observer   (01.04.09)
they bother use mosques as depots for weapons. The Israeli academic, on al-Jazeera TV, put an example of a girl who survived the secondary blasts in a neighboring stricken mosque, but he did not give reason why her mother, father, and sister who were in the same destroyed house survived it while 5 sisters were murdered in the blast. The only reason was that it was not secondary blast but direct hit to their 50 meter square house.
44. ARE YOU PROUD OF THIS!!!!
Michell ,   France   (01.04.09)
Really I was wondering who is in the right side you or the palestinians!!!now I know and will make all my friend participate and the pro-palestinian protest. Shame on you... if this is what your army doing... bombing innocent, non-armed civilians I don't think you deserve to exist!! Ynet: PUBLISH!!
45. #26/#31
sarit ,   jerusalem israel   (01.04.09)
I can show you lots more pictures of crying innocent Israeli children who have cowered in their shelters, in tears, in terror, afraid to go outside because of the years of Palestinians rockets which have been deliberately aimed at civilians. This woman died because she was outside in a war zone. Pity. But did any of you morally indignant, two-faced hypocrites protest when the Palestinians murdered pregnant Tali Hatuel and her four little girls at point blank range with automatic weapons? That was no accident--that was deliberate murder of an unarmed woman and her girl children, ages 2-11. Don't ask me to shed tears for Palestinian murderers and murderesses who are collectively responsible for the butchery of Jewish woman and children, and who cheer when one of their missiles kills a Jewish civilian.
46. #29 GUESS WHY ?!
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (01.04.09)
BECAUSE WHEN JEWS HATE THEY KILL THE CHILDREN OF THEIR ENEMIES TO ENSURE THAT THEY WILL SURVIVE BUT HISTORY AND HUMANITY ALREADY DECIDED YOUR DESTINY, TO BE LIVE FOREVER BLIND IN YOUR ARROGANCE.
47. 44. Unarmed??????
Ben Israel ,   USA   (01.05.09)
How do you think 3000 kassams bashed Israel? Birds didn't drop them. Now you finally get it. Hamas hides behind civilians. Go join your Palestinians buddies who one day will kick you out of France.
48. Hamas use of Human Shields= WAR CRIMES
USA   (01.05.09)
49. #44 Simple-minded thinking! Get a REAL perspective!
usa   (01.05.09)
It's not about Israel vs. "The Palestinians," you fool. It's about Israel vs. Hamas terrorists. The terrorists hide in populated urban areas amongst the civilians. What do you expect is going to happen when artillery is fired? You are tres stupide!
50. A preventable tragedy. If only she used her brains!
David ,   Hartford USA   (01.05.09)
Everyone knows how dangerous it is to be outside, so why was she with her kids? Do all Arabs really prefer death? Have they no common sense at all? Israel is perfectly correct in beating the tar out of Hamas, so civilians had better stay in their basements. G-d Bless the IDF in this honorable chore. Rid the world of Hamas.
51. #32
GUH   (01.05.09)
((I can hear the lame excuses now.)) How funny that you hypocritically violate your own statement just before you say that with your "just why were the kids there?" Obviously you have a objection to Palestinians driving cars (the mother and her four children were in a car), but have no objection to having the car blown up, the kids and mother butchered, and yet you call this fair and balanced. ((Have the Pals EVER asked for their women and children to be evacuated???)) And who lets Palestinians (or anybody, Palestinian or not as there were some foreigners a few days ago) evacuate or not? ((Quite simply we ALL know - those with ANY commonsense that we would make sure our kids were not in the firing line.)) Well, you my friend have absolutely no common sense. Obviously this what somebody would do, but again, you are asking Palestinians to outrun tanks and jets... yeah, you exemplify fairness with your stupidity.
52. Also, #32, it seems that you support the IDF's invasion
GUH   (01.05.09)
But speak of its results in tragic terms only to blame Palestinians. This is how low people like you have become, unfortunately.
53. Some observations on "free man"'s
Leslie ,   Hungary   (01.05.09)
1. According to international code installing armor in the midst of civilians, e.g. in cities is war crime. Hamas has comitted it right before this campaign. This is the shameful cause why IDF hits civilians accidentally. 2. What occupation? Israel completly left Gaza strip years ago. 3. Your statements on "Hamas created by Israel" show an usual pattern of anti-semits' prejudice, that is "anything happens to a jew, or he/she does - it is for his own good and for the harm of all the others." For example, if Israel encourages palestinian elections, then she does it for evil: for creating Hamas. If she does not support elections she does it for evil, too: to oppress palestinian people. If Israel makes a truce with Hamas she does it for preparing a war against Hamas meanwhile. If she doesn't make a truce, she does it for evil: for creating a cause to kill palestinians. Etc. According to this anti-semit pattern: if a jew suffers harm, it's mysteriously always for his profit. If a jew doesn't get hurt it is because of his evil craftiness. This is why jews told to be responsible for WTC tragedy. And this is why it's pointless to reason with persons having this prejudice. Anything jews do, say or happens to them: they've got the explanation prepared: jews did it for their profit, and for the hurt of the others. This is why "free man" thinks Israel created Hamas. (And I think a lot of muslims believe in this false prejudice from their whole heart.)
54. Israeli troops can't tell the difference between
Hicham el Guerrouj ,   Berkane, Morocco   (01.05.09)
an oxygen canister and a rocket. When it made that mistake (and even filmed it for their propaganda war on youtube), eight people were killed. For more info, see: http://www.imemc.org/article/58311
55. #53
Haile Gebreselassie ,   Addis Ababa   (01.05.09)
((What occupation? Israel completly left Gaza strip years ago)) Israel still controls the borders, the sea, and airspace of Gaza as well as what goes in and what goes out. It is occupation, but under a different style. ((Your statements on "Hamas created by Israel" show an usual pattern of anti-semits' prejudice, that is "anything happens to a jew, or he/she does)) While you are right that Israel did not create Hamas, Israel did in the beginning support Hamas as a religious counterweight to the largely secular PLO during the first Intifada (following that, over 400 of its members were arrested, imprisoned, and deported to Lebanon). ((This is why jews told to be responsible for WTC tragedy.)) Here you should talk to agents Paul and Sivan Kurzberg... just a thought.
56. To number 35
Free Man   (01.05.09)
You know thank you so much for pointing out my English weakness,.

57. to 53 please read
Free man   (01.05.09)
To: 53 I like to say to you that you don’t know what are you talking about first I am not muslim or arab second I am Jewish please stop pulling the old wild anti-semits' prejudice card and Yes Hamas was created by Israel to fight fatah and other Arab nationalist ,but it backed fired on Israel you need to read this link http://www.larouchepub.com/other/2002/2902isr_hamas.html I am not sure why you keep saying that every think happens to us Jews is because the whole world hate us we also have made many mistakes and Hamas was one of them .. I am from Isarel I lived there and I saw how the Mossad was creating Hamas;;
58. more Israeli lies
observer   (01.05.09)
The Israeli Academic said on al-Jazeera TV that the operative room in al-Shifa hospital is used as military operative room. So, why would the Palestinians use that rooms which lacks every thing need for that purpose; there is absolutely no secrecy, no safety, no means of communication afforded by that room to be used as military head quarter. The fact that they are still using that major hospital in Gaza to evacuate and treat the wounded despite Israel's threat to bomb it and giving ultimatum to evacuate it, speaks the truth. For 8 month before the war on Gaza, Israel recruited a PR crew (the crew of truth!); its job was to prepare the pubic opinion for accepting Israel's version of justification of an open war on Gaza civilians. Peres delivered speeches, Livni toured the south towns with foreign representatives to show how Israel's restraint had reached the limit. Now, the employees of the Ministry of Truth go back and rewrite history so that any prediction Big Brother (Israel's government) previously made is accurate.
59. #53 you "facts' are dubious
911 truth ,   usa   (01.05.09)
"(following that, over 400 of its members were arrested, imprisoned, and deported to Lebanon). ((This is why jews told to be responsible for WTC tragedy.))" The 911 killers were from Egypt and Saudi Arabia, not Lebanon. You demonstrate the kind of thought process that not only spreads lies and slander, but shows Muslim lack of accountability for horrors perpetrated in the name of their perceived grievances.
