31. Arab doctor condemned Israel a bit too early
Ovadiah   (01.19.09)
critical condition but alive. And - surprise - Jewish doctors found a metal ball in her head, which means she was hit by a Palestinian rocket or IED.
32. They blew up your building so we could listen
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (01.19.09)
to your incessant whining. Do you feel better now! They blew up your building because it was in Gaza and got hit by a shell. Your own people might haveshot from your building because you worked in Israel as a physician. They might have gotten your family targeted on purpose. Have you ever considered that the Hamas Government you voted in is not your friend? Have you considered that they tell your children to become shahids? Suicide bombers? I don't see you throwing any condemnation at the idiots that started this little war. Hamas caused the war.....they are responsible for your childrens deaths. It's pretty basic. You went to college.....figure out what cause and effect mean for once in your life.
33. real story
Davis   (01.19.09)
the soldier who killed the dauters of the doctor who helped his mother to give birth of him ....beside hundreds of other israely women ..during long years .....no need to say more..
34. Blame Hamas
Sidney ,   USA   (01.19.09)
The people of Gaza voted for Hamas knowing its agenda. Hamas launched daily attacks on Israeli civilians from Gaza. Gazans and other Arabs cheered them on. Israel responed in a way that any nation that cares about its sovereignty and its people would, it launched a military attack to stop the Hamas aggression. In war innocent people get killed. So the answer is blame Hamas and the people who voted for them.
35. Doctor's daughters
Magnus ,   NY, NY   (01.19.09)
The Israeli women who interrupted his plea with their catcalls. It makes me ashamed.
36.  Dr. Abu al-Aish my sincerest and deepest condolences.
GinetteG ,   Ottawa Ontario   (01.19.09)
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time and I pray that God walk with you through this most difficult time.
37. Gaza dead
Molly ,   Campbell CA USA   (01.19.09)
The good doctor should understand that people who saw the arab hordes howling with joy when the palislamics slaughtered two IDF soldiers who wandered into the "wrong" section of their territory--arabs who disemboweled these two unfortunate men while they were still alive and then displayed their bloody hands for an A/P photo-op--he should understand that because of palislamic bestiality, nobody cares what happens to the children of such horrifically bestial people. We just don't care if he or his daughters live or die. Besides, how does anyone know which arab is a native and which an invader from Egypt or the Sudan? The Associated Press calls all arabs "Palestinian" if it suits their propaganda. And how do we really know if this man who says he is a doctor really is a doctor or juts a fake doctor like Hanan Aswari, who invited people to call her "doctor" as if she were a physician in her white operating shoes and white jacket. Hanan the cob-nosed viper got a PhD in literature at the U. of VA--and never got tenure. She let people think she was a physician when in fact she is nothing more than a paid mouthpiece for the PLO and Hamas. If anyone deserves a missile on her head, she does, because she constantly lies, and incites the arabs to murder Israelis.
38. My Condolances for your families loss.
Rich ,   CT, USA   (01.19.09)
Killing of innocents saddens the civilized world. Only through loving people and tolerance will this madness stop. I hope we live to see it but there are many who see only their way as the only way. God (as you chose) bless.
39. inhuman
TS ,   USA   (01.19.09)
I am appalled by most of the comments on this article. I think the western world should immediately withdraw all support for _any_ party in the middle east. Maybe and hopefully without outside support you people come to your senses more quickly..? People who have endured the holocaust should have learned something about living in peace with others.. no?
40. Sorry for your loss, don't expect much from Barak
Tony Pate ,   houston, US   (01.19.09)
Its a sad story among thousands others. Surely these are not Moses people. These people who killed your daughters and hundreds other children do not represent the Israeli people I know. THey are brainwashed like Satans.
41. #2
James ,   USA   (01.19.09)
How will your God judge Hamas terrorists who kill inocent Israelis? If Hamas stops the shelling of Israel, there would be no reason for the IDF to shell Gaza.
42. # 2
James ,   USA   (01.19.09)
The terrorist organizations work out of the Palestinian population centers and cynically exploit them, so the responsibility for Palestinian civilians getting hurt rests on their shoulders.
43. sincere condolences
tsedek ,   ramat-gan, israel   (01.19.09)
i'd like to offer my sincere condolences to the doctor for this immense tragedy. i don't what happened to the other talkbackers here, but it seems you lost your hearts.
44. Hamas guilty
Israeli ,   Israel   (01.19.09)
It is a horrible tragedy to lose one child, let alone three. However, only the Hamas is to blame.
45. doctor
sas ,   israel   (01.19.09)
i feel very sorry for him but unfortunately I can remind him how many families have been ruined by terror attacks in Israel. There is a mother left with 3 children, a father that lost his wife and kids, a family from abroad that the parents left behind 3 orphans. People here have been blown up in restaurants on holidays or before their wedding day............this entire country is full of tragedy...................There was a war in Gaza. He knew it - he had the possibility of getting his children out. He chose to keep them there. Innocent people are always the ones who pay the price.
46. doctor
das ,   israel   (01.19.09)
there is a "ceasefire" and his BROTHERS are still talking war. They do not want peace. He should ask HIS leaders "where is Gilad Shalit????????? Does he give any explanation to his parents?????? Doctor, we feel sorry for your loss but quiet down - more and more people will turn against you.
47. shloum salam
younis ,   canada   (01.19.09)
i wanna tell every bary stop
48. He demands an explanation - but so do we
Talula ,   Isrel   (01.19.09)
Noone actually knows why Hamas have been firing rockets into Israel - Maybe he should start with that as a good base - then go from t here.
49. Gaza Doctor
Leslie ,   Beersheva, Israel   (01.19.09)
The Doctor should not blame the IDF on what is happening but on his own people. He should have known the dangers of having gunmen being housed in his building and that Hamas is known to booby trap their own building with explosive devices.
50. the Doctor, Hamas and Israel
Aiman ,   K Lumpur, Malaysia   (01.19.09)
Palestinians and especially Muslims like Dr Al-Aish, who are willing to co-exist with Israelis and Jews are a rarity today. Fanatical groups like Hamas are only bothered about their own political fantasies, and as a Muslim living in a country founded on ignorant anti-Semitism and blind, unquestioning support for "liberation" groups like Hamas, our religion needs more followers like the Doctor who aren't easily blinded by all these politically-motivated jihadist lies, and I hope Israelis will continue to value and support those peace-loving, anti-militant Arabs who live within Israel.
51. real expl: u r not jew, u r not zionist ..u should leave pal
Ahamd ,   Gaza   (01.19.09)
no one will care of u Dr.; except that minority of those who bear some residual morals in israel. u r not a jew, u r not a zionist .. and even if collaborated with them .. that is the truth of discrimination
52. Patience, all. It's not even confirmed IDF was responsible.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (01.19.09)
I, too, have seen reports that the shrapnel pulled from the survivors was NOT from IDF munitions. If that's the case, one needn't say that Hamas is ultimately responsible, but that Hamas is DIRECTLY responsible, whether as a result of a misfired rocket or deliberately set explosives. (In December, two girls in Gaza were killed when a Hamas rocket struck them; others wounded in the same incident were treated in Israel.) Magnus (#35) writes, "The Israeli women who interrupted his plea with their catcalls. It makes me ashamed." You mischaracterize the incident. A woman who has a son serving in Gaza resented the hospital granting the father what was, in effect, a propaganda platform against the IDF when the facts were not yet in. The IDF, we know from the past, is often too quick to take responsibility.
53. heartless
human ,   usa   (01.19.09)
some of the talkbackers here are heartless monsters and subhuman may the doctor find solace and may his daughters rest in peace may God strike down all the monsters and killers of children from both sides hamas and israel you have both become monsters and none of you is righteous anymore no matter how you try to justify it you all lost your humanity.
54. #10,11 IDF; we were fired at from your house, and Hamas was
observer   (01.19.09)
so kind to to help us by firing back.
55. Sure is...
Justice   (01.19.09)
...full of Israeli puppets around here.
56. collaborators are too dumb to learn the lesson
observer   (01.19.09)
USS Liberty deserved it>
57. too late
observer   (01.19.09)
hitting the USS Liberty was on the day 4 of six days war.
58. How can we help this poor man?
daniel   (01.19.09)
My heart goes out to him.
59. The blind hate
Marilyn ,   Adelaide   (01.19.09)
Do Israeli's who read the hate from diaspora jews who seek to blame victims for their death? Do they agree that this man's children brought about their own deaths? Do you like the morons in the US who believe the meme about hamas being some enormous organisation with massive armies sent by Iran? It is not true and never was. These people writing here make ordinary people sick to their stomachs.
60. Israel attacked the Doctor's house using UNMARKED Soldiers
observer   (01.19.09)
Israel attacked the USS Liberty using UNMARKED AIRCRAFT. This is the single fact which proves Israel knew exactly who they were attacking. Israel's story is that they thought USS Liberty was an Egyptian ship and therefore a legitimate target of war. Were that true, there would be no reason to attack a supposedly Egyptian ship with unmarked aircraft. The only possible reason to use unmarked aircraft to attack the ship is that Israel knew it was an American ship and intended to sink it, then to blame the attack on Egypt. >>but the difference here was that Israel was quick to allege that gunmen fired from the Doctor's house, in case it would be accused of attacking unarmed house. Lesson Learned.
