9. How compassionate yet and Israelis are?
Brian ,   Boston   (07.30.09)
So it is okay for your criminal army to kill women and children cowardly and indiscriminately by war planes and you call this incident brutal. To me nothing more brutal than starving people and blocking their medical treatments to death. May be you should call for an ease of restrictions so less people dies every day. If this gets posted, I know the replies; Pro Hamas, Pro Hezbualla. Try some thing new because I care less for any one but fairness to normal people on the streets of Gaza and Tel Aviv too!

Again typical replies by attacking the person not replying to post. 11 "Genuine " is real name! Civilians killed in Pakistan is not some thing that ynet cares about to even bring it up as news to comment on. Plus read my post again before you reply to it. 13 I see you memorized good collection of Arab names, great job and keep it up! What I am saying Watermelon is Israelis are the last people to talk about honor killing in Gaza. You call Gaza people savages? You are so civilized with your classy wordings! Keeping 1 million people in an open prison will not make you safe and you find some thing to complain about all the time. This article is an example. I think the purpose of this article is just to degrade Gaza people so the whole world would says they deserve what Israel is doing to them. Come on, Israel is plagued with all kinds of crimes. Your most religious people made world headlines last week in New Jersey. You elect politicians knowing that they are criminals such as Limerman. The list goes on and on and on. When it comes to a murder in Gaza you are jumping up and down showing alligators tears for the victims that you are already doing your best to harm.
17. your true face, Brian
a b-d ,   north Israel   (07.30.09)
....was revealed when you slipped up and wrote about "crime in Israel" when describing the Jewish criminals arrested in NEW JERSEY. Hm, the International JEWISH Conspiricy of Bankers and Communists!!! But enough of your prejudices, and on to the shocking and brutal murder in Gaza. Leave the JEWS aside for a minute, Brian - can you really gloss over a father bludgeoning his daughter to death? Another thing: it took a long time - the article said 40 minutes - and no doubt was pretty noisy. Where were the neighbors? Nobody noticed anything unusual? What an enlightened society!
18. Don't worry, human rights groups don't care
JPS ,   Efrat   (07.30.09)
Nor will any Palestinian "human rights" organization hold a press conference to condemn the murder and demand the father be tried in a court and jailed. The murder may make it as part of the annual murder statistic for one or two international "human rights" groups, but otherwise, since it's a Muslim murdering a Muslim and Israeli Jews were not involved, nobody cares. This, of course, is a realization of the pathetic state of human rights groups, who abandoned years ago the concept of universal human rights. It's also a condemnation of the pathetic state of Palestinian society, and a revelation that the Palestinians aren't the light unto the Arab nation that pro-Pal lobbyists make them out to be.
19. Sorry Brian, nobody starved to death in Gaza
JPS ,   Efrat   (07.30.09)
Here's another palestinian propagandist trying to flog the lie that people are dying of starvation in Gaza. They aren't. Look at any recent Al Jazeera news video from Gaza. Some may be hungry, but lots are overweight, just like everywhere else in this screwed up world. In fact, they've been touting the "starvation" lie for a couple of years already. You'd think that thousands, nay, tens of thousands would have perished if they've been "starving" for years. Not a single starvation death yet. Liars.

23. Brutal
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (07.30.09)
You cannot live side by side with people who would do such a thing. And this is the tenth such case this year, with five months yet to go. This was nothing short of brutal. To "Brian in Boston" (yeah, right!) -- I remind you that Israel took military action against Gaza following eight years of daily missile barrages upon innocent civilians in Israel. Hamas, of course, being the cowardly scum they are, hid amongst civilians, and stockpiled weapons in mosques, schools and hospitals. These brave "fighters" hid behind the skirts of women -- you cannot compare Israel's necessary military intervention with the violent murder of a 27 year old divorced mother of five for something which is not a crime in the civilized world. No matter how you try and spin it By the by -- since Israel's incursion and active interdiction of arms shipments intended for Gaza -- the missile barrages have stopped. Did you bother to notice?
24. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   New York City, USA   (07.30.09)
Your ignorance is showing. The Tosefta is a secondary compilation of the Jewish oral law from the period of the Mishnah. Educate yourself here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosefta Gaza freely and democratically (LOL!) elected Hamas. After years and years of daily missile barrages, suicide bombings and other acts of terror against innocent Israeli civilians, Israel finally retaliated. It was Hamas that destroyed the beautiful homes, apartment buildings, working farms and hydroponic ponds that Israel had so painstakingly built. All Hamas ever had to do was stop the terror. They couldn't, and Israel justifiably acted to protect its citizenry. If the civilian population in Gaza paid the price, it is only because Hamas hid behind civilians, stockpiled weapons in schools, hospitals and mosques, thereby rendering schools, hospitals and mosques legitimate military targets. "Degrade Gaza people," you say? This father murdered his 27 year old daughter, who happened to be the mother of five children, for using a cell phone. They degrade themselves.
25. Cell Phone
Johnny Reb ,   Dixie, CSA   (07.31.09)
Yep, there's that "peaceful" religion again.
