Do you mean to tell us that all the way from Indianapolis you already know who committed this horrific murder...and it was an "Orthodox fanatic?" Because even as an atheist who loathes any sort of religious primitivism, I'm willing to concede that there are other possibilities. However, because it happened in Israel, there's been an unseemly rush to judgment in this case absent any evidence of who the perpetrator really was. And as far as the moral relativism about Israelis causing as much of the problem as the Arabs, as long as the Arabs persist in inciting their own children to become martyrs using racist textbooks, "suicide kindergarten" and genocidal Disney characters to brainwash an entire generation, there will never be peace...not for any other reason.
32. Steven Stein NY keep your hatred to yourself

Not that events in Israel are any of your bussiness so keep your hatred to your self we have two young people murdered in cold blood because of hatred.
33. to #28 me??? I accept gay people BUT

I have the feeling it's not mutual(another story for another time) I never spread venom I am not a snake even though frogs r much more dangerous, anyway I am diverting just incase you jump to any conclutions cause I noticed you r hot headed and don't read carefully my posts, I am for equall right to both gay and straight comunities, if you don't agree with the fact that I am for gay comunity to be regular comunity open that r part of the general society than I don't know what on earth you want. you get normal conditions like the rest of us(that's y I am for legalize marriege in the gay community among other social benefits) but not special consideration, I think you as a gay person do more harm to yourself for example the Gay Parade is for entertainment purposes only but it can also eternal stereotype that gay people supose to behave like and that is wrong, further you close yourself giving more consern to your community only while in reality you should look after others as well much like us straight people who care for other communities not just straight. get the pic.
34. Hate crimes
Ray ,   San Diego USA   (08.03.09)
On the concept of "hate crimes" the jury is still out with me. I was atacked, back about one and a half years. Before he hit me, he sereamed old man at me several times, as he unloaded his hatred. I don't think it would have mattered much if I was weaing my Kippah and he screamed old Jew. Also on the other hand I don't remember any love crimes. A crime is a crime regardless of the basis or origon.
35. to #34 love crime r murders between lovers.
ghostq   (08.03.09)
you know just like the famous Versachi murder.
36. how do we know it was a hate crime?
zionist forever   (08.03.09)
The man who carried it out hasn't been found all we know is he was wearing black and there are many reasons why he might have done it. A gay lovers fall out and somebody decided to go shoot at everybody because he was angry with his lover It could be a man who just had some kind of nervous breakdown, flipped his lid and decided to go shoot up a gay club. Thats not a hate crime. Maybe it is just somebody who didn't like gays and decided to go kill them but we cannot assume anything until we have all the facts. As for Yuli Tamir somebody needs to remind her that thank goodness she is no longer education minister. We won't be replacing zionism & jewish issues with nakba so she should just keep her mouth shut for once. Also if the system is so bad why didn't she do something to change it because up until less than 6 months ago she was eductaion minister, Bibi hasn't made any radical changes. A terrible thing happened and we should stop with the speeches and rallies let the polce get on with their business and treat this like any other murder crime. We have to many people trying to make political capital out of it.
