2. Are you kidding me?
Evan Tanenbaum ,   Montreal, Canada   (04.28.09)
The State of Israel poses a fundamental conundrum for us Jewish people: Nationalism or security? Unfortunately, nationalism seems to have won. There's a reason Israel is perhaps the most dangerous country for Jews to live in, today. So long as the unilateral domination of Palestine by Jews continues, so will Jews die (let alone Arabs) and peace will never be attained. It's time to question what is fundamentally assumed about the continued existence of Israel as an ethnically contiguous nation-state, at the expense of a marginalized - and pissed - Palestinian population. So many wouldn't need to die if we Jews weren't willing to get rid of the stupid nationalism we inherited as a reaction to the horrors of the holocaust. How's this going to be sustainable in 50 years? 100? 1000? Are we going to let the state of Israel - and the injustices its continued existence implies - get in the way of peace and the continued existence of the Jewish people in peace and prosperity?
3. Bravery!
K.J.ONeil ,   England   (04.28.09)
These soldier's fought valiantly for there country. Long live Israel!
4. #2 utterly disgusting.

yours is a level of ignorance incomprensible to me. The home you live in was once owned by me. I had to sell it because of reasons, not important. You bought this house, AND NOW I WANT IT BACK YOU HYPOCRITE. I will stand in your yard and throw rocks and molotavs through your windows until you allow me back into this house, which was once mine. I have the right to return to my house, which you claim is yours. I will be pissed and shooting at you until you give it to me. How is your house going to be sustainable in 5 weeks? or Months? or Years? Are you going to let your unilateral selfish ideals keep your home to yourself? Wouldn't it be better to just relenquish control, and let me and my 28 relatives move back in? This is what you are saying to Israel from your comfy apartment in Canada. Oops, I mean MY COMFY apartment in Canada. Get out now, and you can have peace with me.
5. #2

Oh, and if you should think I will return your children that I have kidnapped, you can just forget about that. I have a dozen news teams talking to me right now, and they think you are apartheid homeowner, because you have a fence around your yard and you lock your doors. Clearly, you are hostile, and the police agree with me. Why don't you agree with me? I lived there before you did, and that home is very special to me. My third favorite in fact. But no, you force me to eat grass from the lawn, and live like an animal. I will never agree that house is yours, you are an illigitamate owner.
6. to #2 watching Al-jazira latly, hey.

7. #2 that's a great idea like....
Yehudah ,   haifa   (04.28.09)
Like other countries were different ethnic groups coexist (especially with radical Muslims): 1.Lebanon (especially 1975-1990) 2.Yugoslavia (the 90's) 3.Czechoslovakia Even Belgium has problem between the two thnic group. If the Palestinian would have agreed to 1947 UN proposal there would have been prosperous Palestine ans Israel side by side but they refused in the name of Islam.
8. Resurrection of the Dead a Fundamental Concept
SL ,   NY   (04.28.09)
The concept of the resurrection of the dead is one of the most fundamental of traditional Jewish concepts (see for example Maimonides' list of the 13 Essentials of Jewish belief). Therefore, notwithstanding his remarks to the contrary about a dead brother who is gone, never to return, PM Benjamin Netanyahu will almost undoubtedly see his brother again, according to traditional Jewish theology, with the coming of the Mashiach--may this happen speedily in our days. This period will also witness the punishment of those who stand not with Israel but with the foes of the Jewish people, according to traditional belief.
9. The third temple will be built and all Jews will be reunited
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.28.09)
in Israel, the land given them by G-d for all time.
10. Time:
Ypip ,   Canada   (04.29.09)
"I know the meaning of the death of a beloved and admired brother, who went away and will never return. I know that for a bereaved family every day is a memorial day. Every day of the year, every morning we wake up to a space which cannot be filled."
11. isreal remembers
debbie ,   israel   (04.29.09)
May the souls of our precious brave soldiers rest in peace, and be for a blessing. May their families and loved ones be comforted.
