1. IDF undermines Palestinians right to exist!
Adam von Allah ,   exodus   (01.31.09)
2. Boycott Silestone (made in Spain)
Moishe ,   usa   (01.31.09)
boycott Silestone (made in Spain) and buy Caesarstone (made in Israel. Theres a start to make spain pay for its antisemetic political statements. Let their workers suffer.
3. The theocracy and aristocracy are just pissed
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.31.09)
The Spanish elite in government and the church are still pissed off that the inquisition was closed before they completed their duties. NOW with the vatican preparing to beatify isabella, the mother of the inquisition, they feel newly emboldened to attack Jews
4. ?
Objectivetry ,   EUROPE   (01.31.09)
I think there is a misunderstood in Israel......As far as im concerned they filed the complaint not because the killing Salah Shehade but because the killing of 14 innocent civilian..Am i right??
5. To the Spanish judge
Kidon 77   (01.31.09)
We should notice this "judge" that he, and ll his family will not be safe anywhere in the world, if he dare put his nose in Israel business. our hand can strike everywhere in the world, and he should be aware that for helping terrorists, he too become for us a terrorist , and thus a legitimate target. Israel is not a decrebretaed European leftist country.
6. I guess none of us expected a Spanish Inqisition
tFighterPilot   (01.31.09)
No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!
7. Spain doesn't care if we exist.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.31.09)
Either does the rest of the EU. We are an inconvenience, an annoyance, a problem they would rather do without. We can't expect much else - this is what happened in the 1920's & 1930's - we were killed by indifference, no one wanted to be bothered with our defence. The majority of Europe said, ''What the hell, they're only killing Jews, no big deal.'' The difference, of course, is now we can fight back & this is a very disturbing development - it goes against an unspoken conventional wisdom - Jews have no right to fight back. My answer is to fight back even harder - and for those that don't like, well, tough - get used to it.
8. Why Waste Psychic And Physical Energy
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.31.09)
Worrying about the spanish courts.This writer sickens me with his grovelling explanation and apology.Tell the spanish court to simply F--- Off.Should they arrest any Israeli officer ,then Israel must retaliate harshly to send out the message that this nonsense will not be tolerated.
9. Time To Stand Up To Spanish
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.31.09)
The correct and effective response is for a little intimidation Israeli style.Playing softball has clearly not worked..time for a little Hardball.
10. Israel's Problem is Amateur Leaders
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.31.09)
Olmert and Kadima have obviously not got a clue.Israel was always Pro-active and now is barely reactive.Kadima have allowed Israel to be kicked around.Time to take a leaf out of the book of the British.Tell the Spanish and other Europeans in polite yet unmistakeable words that Israel takes "an extremely dim view" of its Soldires and other citizens being Intimidated or threatened any place by anybody.Let the Bastard Goyim fear Israeli justice and not the other way around.
11. Put the judge on trial
avelino ,   USA   (01.31.09)
There is no way in which soft diplomacy of Tzipi Livni will end this probe. Everyone that have read spanish newspapers for years as I do, knows exactly that spain is the most antisemitic country in Europe and their judicial system is a joke. The unique way to end this conspiracy is to put a bit of pressure on them. Israel has to issue a law that allows israeli courts to put on trial those judges for 'conspiracy to international kidnapping". The law has to allow the mossad to arrest them in any country as we did with Adolf Eichman. The only threat of this, will put enough deterrence to end this joke.
12. whats the fuss?
Danny   (01.31.09)
This reminds of the hissy fit thrown over the "boycott" that wasn't by the UK lecturers. The trick to dealing with these people is to attack them through the courts, personally bankrupt them for libel. As for this case, it has been thrown out in pretty much every single jurisdiction including Spain - last year. In the meantime, chill out. This is like the hot news that Ynet had of some mickey mouse pakistani "phone company" that wasn't going to work with an israeli firm.
13. What Would Spain Do?
USABorn   (01.31.09)
What if Hamas was firing rockets into Spain for eight year? Hamas needs to be tried and punished fools!
14. Here we go again...
Marlene N. ,   New York City   (01.31.09)
I wish I could predict the lotto numbers as well as I could predict what Israel's response will always be to condemnations, criticisms, or actions to be taken....either, it's antisemitic or it's against Israel's right to exist. Please try to find some other excuses to justify war crimes and crimes against humanity carried out by an oppressor and ethnic cleanser of people.
15. SIMPLE SOLUTION
Aaron ,   Delray Beach   (01.31.09)
Simply Set up a court in Israel to go after the judge in Spain and the palastianis in spain that brought the action ffor false judgement and anti semetism. Put out summons on them. SCare the living dalights out of this frauds.
16. #7, I disagree the majority don't care one way or the other
Danny   (01.31.09)
look at the tiny turnouts for "gaza protests", it is low thousands of people who would protest anything. Again the rational way to deal with these cases is this: 1) Point out to the media that this exact case has been thrown out everywhere and has been shown to be of no merit whatsoever. Make sure when it is thrown out again that it gets highlighted. Threaten to sue if they don't. 2) Sue the people who bring the suit for libel. Pursue them through the courts, make them bankrupt. Make sure their loss gets the same billing this case gets 3) bring cases against Hamas etc.
17. Shame on you, ynet!
Darsemann ,   UK   (01.31.09)
What an utterly ridiculous and blood-thristy wirtting!!! Will spanish courts continue to have impartiality and achieve a good trial on the matter, whoever benefits. Justice has achieved much more than the intimidations of Israel or some of the comments left. I hope some lawyer read these comments where are threatening spanish judges for doing their honorable job. Outrageous.
18. We should deal with this judge as with any other terrorist
Roberto ,   Montevideo   (01.31.09)
I would suggest that an accident could kill this judge in way that will send a message to the other spanish judges not to mess with Israel. A friend of the terrorists is a terrorist and he should be dealt like that. So an accident is the best way to get trough the diplomatic consequences.
19. Palestine
salahadeen ,   north   (01.31.09)
for adam: Only Palestinians undermine Palestinians to exist
20. 13... would spain've encouraged Hamas?
Wanda ,   Montreal   (01.31.09)
would spain've given Hamas money, as Israel did, in order to counter the PLO. would spain have withdrawn and ostensibly given Gaza its self-determination, to elect its own government freely, only to belittle it and agitate it when one bent on resisting occupation is put in place. in short, would spain have been doing terrible things for 60 years to the people Hamas supposedly represents? somewhere in these questions is your answer..
21. To No. 14
Andrew Michaelson ,   United Kingdom   (01.31.09)
You have given a great description of Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria and Iran. So, what do think of Israel?
22. #1 The Palestinians undermine their right to exist!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.31.09)
They never failed to chose the wrong leaders, make the wrong decisions and go with the wrong partners. Their current situation is their own doing: in '48 they listened to Syria, Jordan and Egypt and ran away, leaving Israel in order to make way for the "victorious Arab Armies"! WRONG CHOICE! They were tempted by their racism and hatred agains Jews, and by their Arab "friends". They became refugees, hated and despised by everybody. Encouraged by Syria, they tried to kill King Abdallah of Jordan (after he hosted them!). WRONG CHOICE! The King killed several tens of thousands and kicked them out to Lebanon. There they raped the Christians andcarried terror attacks against Israel. WRONG DECISION! Israel kiced them out of Lebanon and Hezbollah (Shiites) became the force while the Sunnis (palestinians) became the minority. They breached the Madrid Peace Accord after thinking that they were strong enough to destroy Israel - WRONG DECISION! They got kicked in the balls and their lives became more miserable! They rejected the Camp David Peace Accord and started another Itdifadah. WRONG CHOICE! They lost ANY credibility they had with the Israeli public and they got their ass kicked relentlessly ever since. They joined Saddams invading forces in Kuwait, raping, murdering and stealing from their former Kuwaiti employers! Talk about snakes biting the hand that feeds them. WRONG CHOICE! Americans kicked Saddam out of Kuwait and Kuwaitis kicked the palestinians out of Kuwait and back to their hellhole. The entire Arab world saw how treacerous, disloyal and barbaric palestinians really are - even with their own "brothers"! They elected Hamas in Gaza. WRONG CHOICE! Hamas murdered several thousand Gazans just because they were not its suporters, and ever since made the lives of the citizens a living hell by forcing fanatical Islam laws onto everybody (or else!). In addition they lost everything and then some when Israel decided that 8 years of 7000 Qassams and incessant terror attacks were enough reason to kick them in the balls - although some of the World clearly would have liked to see more dead Jews in the process. Interesting what choice they will make now, when Hamas is weak, and after witnessing what kind of life Hamas can bring to them. I bet that AGAIN they will make the WRONG CHOICE!
23. Spain has always been antisemtie
Manuel ,   Buenos Aires, Argent   (01.31.09)
Spanish news Agency EFE and local press are among those of the world that show a fierce anti israeli bias. Do not forget that from this country comes the religious antisemitism, Jews were forced to convert to Catholicism under the threat of imprisoment, torture and death at the stake. Jews were expelled from Spain in 1942 under the Kingdom of Isabel the Catholic. The Catholic Church is a powerful body in Spain
24. Free Basque. Cancel Palestine. Create Peace.
david ,   boston, USa   (01.31.09)
What hypocrites the Spanish are. They prevent a real people from nationhood and prefer to create a state of made up people who support racism. Eurabia is doomed.
25. Absolutely not anti-Semitic
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (01.31.09)
It is not anti-Semitic to throw the people who ordered the murder of 14 innocent Palestinian civilians including mothers and their babies, and the wounding of dozens more, into jail for life. That's where they belong. The killing of Shehada was extra-judicial execution. Soldiers could have gone into that apartment and arrested him to bring him to trial. Those who ordered this operation these be put in jail for life.
26. Rights
barak obama ,   USA   (01.31.09)
Your sick basis for creating of Israel was a right to kill not a right to exist. This Zionazi politic is going on in Israel since end of WWII and finally World is waking up to see your crimes against Palestinian People and against humanity. Wake up you Jews before it would be to late.
27. To #17- Shame on YOU
Michael ,   New York, USA   (01.31.09)
There is NOTHING honorable about a Spanish judge and nothing honorable about the job he or she is doing if all they do is pander to the terrorists. And there is certainly nothing honorable about your thought process.
28. Spain will be Al-Andalus soon
(01.31.09)
29. HAW HAW HAW
Antonio Jarreta Blasco ,   Madrid   (01.31.09)
To: All the fanatic bigots of this page. From: An amused spaniard. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Boy, this is seriously the most friggin´ hilarious thread i´ve ever read in my whole life. Comments like Kidon´s "if the judge continues with the trial, we will obliterate his house and his family!" make the life worth living. A toast for all the accidental humorists of the world, being they from Spain, Israel or Rwanda! XD
30. #21 Answering your question....
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.31.09)
If you absolutely want to equate a description of Israel (the only democracy in the Middle East whose existence is threatened on an hourly basis by its Muslim neigbors) with a description of Hamas et al, then I'll oblige and also give you a great description of UK (a member of the Alliance against Al-Qaeda, whose existence is also threatened on an hourly basis by its Muslim citizens) together with the Iraqi terrorists or Al-Qaeda, OK?
