God Bless You fellows Some people have lsot their human part, simply because they are chosen.....so they call themselves...people!!
37. When children die, the go to be with the Lord of Abraham,
Rivkah   (01.16.09)
Isaac, and Jacob. There is no reason to mourn for the children since they are comforted in the parallel universe of the Lord's kingdom. It is the parents and those who loved the children who suffer. When adults past 25 die without knowing the Lord, that is something to mourn about. Don't waste your tears on children the Lord loves and cherishes and has in the palm of His hand for eternity if they die young.
38. Would any Arab EVER mourn over a dead Jewish kid???
Rita ,   Miami, FL   (01.16.09)
NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!
39. children of terrorists are taught to be terrorists
yahn goodey   (01.16.09)
what would acri and groups like it prefer that the idf does to protect our children? should the idf attempt to kidnap and re-educate their children first before engaging in battle or should we all just walk quietly into death camps so terrorists can keep on breeding more terrorists ?
40. What is the difference between Neturey Kartah and human righ
(01.16.09)
What is the difference between Neturey Kartah and human rights groups? I do not see any differences, only nuances: Both deny Israel’s rights to exist, both cooperate with the Muslim propaganda, and both contribute to the Muslim effort to exterminate Israel. Digging deeper, we will find out that it is actually a matter of idea fix, or saying it in a politically correct way, “a matter to experts”. As such, please locate these kind of articles in the health section of your magazine.
41. The "world" mourns.
Sam C ,   Tennessee   (01.16.09)
Would the "world" mourn the deaths of Jewish children the same as they do for Palestinian children? NO.
42. We've won. Get over it!
Joseph ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.09)
If an ad like this had appeared in the early days of the offensive, I would have opposed it. But it didn't. At this point, it is only too likely that further military action will bring little, if anything, of additional strategic value to us, but that more children will be killed and help to those injured will be further delayed. As ACRI states, "It's enough!" I heartily applaud their announcement.
43. compassion
anonymous   (01.16.09)
God actually has commanded the Jewish people to not rejoice at the death of their enemies. After the Jews escaped from Egypt and the Egyptians were drowning in the sea God told the Jewish people to stop rejoicing at their deaths for they are his children too.
44. Finally - a moral message that needs to be heard
Karen ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.09)
I am thankful that there are organizations such as ACRI that dare to speak out in the name of the basic moral values that most of us in Israel seem to have forgotten
45. How about an ad reminding the daddys who are...
Sorry I don't ,   feel a thing   (01.16.09)
hamassoles to quit inviting(forceing) their children to join in their terror activities, because they are getting them killed and making Israel look bad.... Oh wait they already know that and they is why kids are set in harms way are getting killed. Just to make Israel look bad! Islam has got to be just pure evil to rejoice in the deaths of kids just so they can make the real light of the world look bad. Only God feels sadness over these senseless deaths. Arabs and hamassohole rejoice in death because they think this will change world opinion, but God's opinion is the real one you islamic baby killers need to fear. His Anger is being Kindled towards you. You dead daddys already realize it cause you are already in hell. Oh I forgot dead men can't read. too bright where they are, all that fire and all.
46. children during war
Mark ,   Hackensack USA   (01.16.09)
Once again, there is no moral equivalence between Hamas' children and Israeli children....while Hamas' children are raised to hate (witness their UNRWA textbooks), the Israeli children are not raised to hate.
47. Wow! Swip out more of them terrorist kids
Abey C ,   Brooklyn, NY   (01.16.09)
no remorse for terroist kids. wipe off the face of the earth.
48. Those not responsible at ACRI should raise their voices now.
Joe Sittizen ,   Jerusalem   (01.16.09)
ACRI really blew it this time. Their job is to promote and protect civil rights in Israel. Where is the full page ad taken out to protest Palestinian "crimes against humanity" (the conclusion of Amnesty Intl, not me)??? Where is the hue and cry of ACRI's board of directors and lawyers, taking the international community to task for turning a blind eye to Palestinian human and civil rights travesties??? The people at ACRI who did NOT approve this ad should step up, and demand the immediate resignation of the people who are responsible for this embarrassment. They should then take out a full page ad apologizing for ignoring the civil and human rights of the Israeli citizens of the south - the same people ACRI was supposed to be standing up for the past 8 years. This ad has caused horrible damage to an organization that has done, and is supposed to be doing, a good job of protecting Israeli civil rights. ACRI has failed. They should hold themselves accountable and take corrective action.
49. ACRI mourns
Leon Rogson ,   Los Angeles   (01.16.09)
We all mourn the death of children, and the death of innocent civilians. We need to stop this bloodletting by destroying Hamas and teaching all terrorists that hiding behind women and children will not prevent their demise. To do otherwise is to perpetuate the cycle of 1)Attack on civilians, 2) Insufficient response because of respect of civilians, and back to (1) again. Too many people have died in Lebanon, in Gaza, and in Israel to allow these murderers to once again use civilians to save themselves. Leon
50. To #47 and Those who show no humanity
N. ,   USA   (01.16.09)
too bad i think your children of your so-called "country" are terrorists' children. not so nice when it's all relative, huh? what the hell is wrong with the world today?! killing kids is okay now? get a freaking grip!
51. Gaza children and ACRI
Howard Singer ,   Pittsburgh USA   (01.16.09)
It does not bother me in the least that Gaza children die. Who are they? They are Palestinian Gaza children. Their parents support terrorism. Their parents therefore killed them. Oh, an Israeli soldier may hold a weapon, but their parents killed them. Let the supporters of terrorism mourn for them. I shall not.
52. Children combatants in Gaza
Ibrahim El-Awal ,   USA   (01.17.09)
Hamas invests a lot of time and money to indoctrinate their children to be martyrs, fight Israel and kill the Jews. TV programs, movies, books, training all start at a young age. Children are wearing uniforms, playing with guns and munitions. Girls declare that they want to be suicide bombers. This process is open and parents, teachers, UN in Gaza, representatives of humane organizations, Israeli and International, see that and do not whisper a word, do not protest, do not complain regarding this extreme child abuse. The model is the Nazi Hitler Jugend but Hamas indoctrination process is much more intensive. It does not promote a social system, but a religious fanatic fascist organization which sees the destruction of Israel only a stage in the quest for global Islam. Parents, teachers and UN which is very strongly represented in Gaza, have a share in the tragedy which Hamas brought on Gaza. Placing Hamas soldiers in kindergartens, schools, residential homes are against international law. But since when does Hamas care about any law except the laws of the Koran? If a 15 year old has a gun in his hands are he a child or a combatant? If the Israeli pious organization would have cared as much about Israeli children as they care about Gaza children we would have had peace right now. Any encouragement that the Israeli give to Hamas will result in more blood. This is the simple equation that even the children of Gaza could understand.
53. #43anonymous are you kidding?
Edithann ,   USA   (01.17.09)
If that's what their God commanded and accepted his other children dying at their hands...wouldn't you at least question the sanity of their God? Just as; Why should the Palestinians turn over their homes and lands to Jews without a fight? TATA

56. ACRI uses a false number of dead civilians.
Anders Branderud ,   Täby   (01.17.09)
Try nr4, Ynet don't want to publish what I write. To just tell something about the credibility of ACRI: Some days ago Jerusalem Post wrote this: "the IDF estimated the death toll in Gaza had passed 700, of whom three quarters were said to have been combatants, 290 of them identified as known Hamas terrorists." So: When did a 'combatant' [a person cooperating with the Hamas terrorists; or himself a Hamas terrorist.] become a civilian. Hello???? Stop spreading false reports!! Read her for proofs of that ACRI’s statistics are wrong: http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1231424895602&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull Camera Blog: " The official number of fatalities is determined by the Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas. After the Israeli bombing of a school in Jabalya on Tuesday, which killed at least 30 .. [Palistanis], the ministry announced that a total of about 640 .. [Palistanis] have been killed since the start of the IDF operation, on [27/12]. But the ministry does not provide any statistics regarding how many of the fatalities are Hamas gunmen killed in clashes with the IDF and how many are non-combatants, and has even said that since the ground incursion began , all the Palestinians killed have been civilians." Read more here: http://bloganders.blogspot.com/2009/01/svd-keeps-on-publishing-false-reports.html ACRI:s abuse of statistics is dishonest. They write: “The number of casualties is unprecedented. From when the fighting began through the morning of [14/1] 2009, at least 970 … [Palistanis] have been killed, of whom at least 300 were children and 76 were women.” First of all every honest organisation must mention how many terrorists are included in the numbers. This shows that ACRI is a dishonest organisation Included in this numbers are Children killed in the incident when terrorists fired mortars close to a school: http://bloganders.blogspot.com/2009/01/hamas-use-of-humans-shields-and-many.html ; and Israeli soldiers responded to the fire. “Under international law, Hamas makes the UN school a legitimate military target and the lives of the Hamas' human shields, women and children, are killed by Hamas. Where is the world's condemnation of placing women and children in front of them while launching mortars at Israelis? At making schools, mosques, hospitals and urban centers military targets, deliberately ensuring that their own people are killed?” Quote: Paqid Yirmeyahu (www.netzarim.co.il ; Web Café – left menu) Secondly, ACRI want us to stop our war against Hamas-terrorists. We shouldn’t. Hamas wants every Jew to get killed: http://www.terrorism-info.org.il/malam_multimedia/English/eng_n/html/hamas_e036.htm Why should we allow them that?
