Yes that why antisemitism is raising. If people like Sarah just spend half the effort on spreading peace and friendship then this situation could be a lot better. They have friends in ME just coordinate and make some effort towards peace instead of beating the battle drums. Its ironic that no news about reconciliation or friendship is coming from this region. Let alone NGO's or Civil Society, even the individual people who comment here are at some kind of war.

Look at the history, Jewish people has been persecuted in all most all countries of the world. These war mongering and hate is creating a similar situation, laying the foundation of antisemitic backlash again. It hasn't been 100 years since WW2.

Sarah, just as you feel for your son, thousands of Palestinian mothers have lost their sons and daughters to israeli bombs and feel the same way.....HATRED for the enemy. It is just a vicious circle...when will it end. Better to just forgive and move on!!!!

You are correct; I have no way of knowing who voted for whom. All I have to go by are the eight years of missile barrages, the smuggling tunnels, the twenty years of suicide bombings, the deliberate attempts to blow up Israeli military patrols and the vast celebrations that take place in Gaza following a suicide bombing in Israel that kills Jews and the riotous partying that went on in Gaza -- well-documented by any number of reputable international wire services and news agencies -- following the tragedy that befell the United States on September 11, 2001. When people act human, they will be treated as such. When they act like terrorist scum, they should expect to be treated as such. And -- by the way -- for a "starving" population, I really must say that Gazan women are pretty grossly overweight. Furthermore -- didn't Jordan throw out their Palestinian refugees back in the 1970s? You didn't seem to like them much either. They were subsequently thrown out of Lebanon, too -- but not until they had completely destroyed southern Lebanon and the rather delicate Christian/Moslem balance there. Seems to be a trend in how people -- Jews and Arabs -- feel about Palestinians. Any thoughts on that?

person like Bob, when you are so full of hatred, probably instilled from childhood, or you do not have the necessary intellect to analyze the facts of history, the facts of the conflict, the facts of life, and arrive at a logical conclusion. You need help, please get it, for our sakes and yours.

OMG! You're letting them have food. Such a moral nation, such a moral military. Does the great tradition of Jewish compassion never end?

EVERTIME "KEN" POSTS A COMMENT ON YNET, HE IS VERY NEGATIVE AND HIS TRUE HATRED FEELINGS COME OUT..... YOU WERE ALREADY EXPOSED HERE ON YNET BY YOUR PREVIOUS POSTS DISPLAYING ENVY, DECEIT AND ANTI-ISRAEL HATRED.... WHETHER KEN POSTS FROM BURMA OR FROM WHEREVER HE REALLY IS, HIS MESSAGE IS THAT OF A JEALOUS, ENVIOUS PERSON.. ....... HE IS THE ONE FULL OF HATE AS IS QUITE EVIDENT IN HOW HE ACCUSES OTHERS..... KEN --- DO YNET POSTERS A FAVOUR AND GO READ A BURMESE NEWSPAPER..... AND SPARE OTHER YNET POSTERS FROM YOUR NEGATIVE, DECEITFUL AND HATE FILLED ANTI-ISRAEL MESSAGES.

ERIC, ..... WHY DON'T YOU FOLLOW YOUR OWN PRETENCIOUS ADVICE THAT YOU SO EASILLY GIVE TO OTHER YNET POSTERS, AND AS YOU YOURSELF WROTE........."Better to just forgive and move on!!!! " ERIC....... WHY DON'T YOU JUST FORGIVE AND MOVE ON YOURSELF !!! THE REASON IS THAT YOU CANNOT FORGIVE AND MOVE ON BECAUSE YOUR CHOSEN POSITION IN LIFE SEEMS TO BE ONE OF BITTERNESS, ENVY, AND FULL OF HATRED.

The Palestinians are not poor. They have plenty of money to buy weaponry and no problem smuggling weapons, sheep, brides, zoo animals etc. into Gaza. The majority of women do not work. This is by choice. Unemployment is high. This leaves a hugh work force that should be farming and developing ways to sustain their population. More time on productive work. Less time planning terror. Less dependence on Israel. Less whining about what Israel doesn't do for them.

#36 PAUL.... HE MOCKS AND CONDEMNS THE JEWISH PEOPLE, THE JEWISH STATE WITH A VENOMOUS HATEFUL ATTACK HERE ON YNET. HE STATES SARCASTICALLY AND WITH TAUNTING ABOUT THE JEWISH NATION ...... "Such a moral nation, such a moral military. Does the great tradition of Jewish compassion never end?"..... HOW ABOUT YOUR HISTORY AND YOUR "TRADITION OF COMPASSION" TOWARDS THE ABORIGINES OF AUSTRALIA PAUL? "The attempt to wipe out the Australian Aborigines was spawned out of the requirements of property and land. Genocide emerged out of the need of the emerging Australian squattocracy to “clear the land”. And the appalling conditions faced by the majority of Aborigines today similarly derive from the requirements of the “market”. THE ABORIGINES WERE MURDERED , RAPED. AND THEIR LAND STOLEN AND OCCUPIED BY PAUL'S PEOPLE OF "COMPASSION" WHAT RIGHT DOES HE HAVE TO CRITICISE AND MOCK OTHER PEOPLE'S MORALS ? PROVEN CRIMES AGAINST THE ABORIGINES WERE SUCH A BLOODY STAIN ON THAT COUNTRY'S HISTORY AND HE CONVENIENTLY LEAVES THIS INFORMATION OUT OF HIS POSTING !!........ THE P.M. OF AUSTRALIA KEVIN RUDD, RECENTLY APOLOGISED TO THE ABORIGINES FOR ALL THIS !

Oh, I beg to differ. I did not sell my son. He and a friend committed the "crime" of going for a slice of pizza at Sbarro Pizzeria in Jerusalem. Fifteen people were killed, over one hundred injured, some of whom subsequently died of their injuries. Mothers in Gaza routinely sell their children to Hamas to be "shaheed" suicide bombers. Again -- I did not sell Daniel. How dare you compare my loss with that of a Palestinian mother in Gaza who SOLD her child to Hamas?

Hush, Paul. Australia has a lot to answer for its treatment of the aboriginal people of Australia. And many of us are VERY well aware of what happened in East Timor and how many East Timorese civilians died in Australia's pathetic attempt to stave off the Indonesian invasion. Be careful dear. People living in glass houses ought not throw stones.

What can you say to a person whose thinking is warped due to intense HATRED. IAF bombs killed innocent children in GAZA, just as your enemies bomb killed your son. This is called war and both sides are crazy. They should talk and resolve their differences instead of killing each other. With attitudes like Sarah's and Avram's this will never happen.....HATE, HATE and more HATE that's what their attitude smacks of. The world should follow the example of Nelson Mandela and Gandhi towards peaceful co-existence!!!

Eric, the problem is that the Hamas charter -- and, for that matter, the charter of every group purporting to represent the Palestinian people, and there are many such groups -- calls for the elimination of the State of Israel and the extermination of the Jews. How do you negotiate with people who are determined to destroy you? Israel's incursion into Gaza was the result of EIGHT YEARS of missile barrages and TWENTY YEARS of suicide bombers infiltrating the border. What would you like us to do? Roll over and play dead because it will make Moslems and Arabs happy? That is not going to happen, Eric. The ball has ALWAYS been in the Palestinian court; they just refuse to renounce violence. Unless and until they do, what choice does Israel have?

people believe in, it's their G-D. Nelson Mandela and Gandhi are their enemy.

Funny you should mention "hatred." There will never be peace with Palestinians until they learn to love their children more than they hate Jews. Sadly, they have shown no inclination to learn this rather simple formula. And, to paraphrase the late Golda Meir, z.l. -- while we may someday forgive the Arabs for killing our sons, we will NEVER forgive them for forcing us kill theirs. It is the Palestinians -- and probably Moslems generally -- who are no respecters of life. How else do you explain the acts of terror they have brought upon the world? How else do you explain the gruesome concept of suicide bombing? You cannot blame the Jews for everything, Ken, even though that is clearly what you persistently try to do. You should stop, though -- unless, of course, you enjoy coming across as an ignorant fool.

as I mentioned before "I rest my case" People who are intent on Hatred and violence will eventually destroy themselves. We the human race, the family of Adam and Eve can co-exist peacefully if we make up our minds to, despite all the odds.
