1. sad
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.02.09)
It is a sad day that a mother uses the blood of her own murdered child for political gain. Ms. Katz must know by now that it is most likely that the murder was done by neo-facist skinheads or a jilted lover from the Proud community. That Teitel admitted to murdering her son shows something about police interrogation methods but nothing about who may have done the crime.
2. #1 its you that are sad
Avi ,   Israel   (11.02.09)
" mother uses the blood of her own murdered child for political gain" are you tottaly without any basic human emotions or intelligence? What political gain? This is a greiving mother whose son was bruttaly murdered in cold blood because he was born different than others. Then you spurn such nonsese as to state that the murderer was a neo-fascist skinhead, well obviously you know something that the rest of us including the police dont know so i suggest you go to your nearest police statation provide your evidence and help them with their investigation. If not then i suggest you save your homophobic nonsense to your self.
3. Terrorist jew
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (11.02.09)
Police need to get a warrant for searching freely the community that Teital lives in. Maybe nothing will come of it, but - think about it - it doesn't seem possible that one man was able to sneak into Israel all those weapons and bombs (okay, maybe bombs were home made - find the factory were he made them). I smell a rat in his neighborhood. I am not racist or against religious, just fanatics that think they are above the law.
4. I think it was done by self hatin gay person
ghostq   (11.02.09)
cause the killer knew where to look, teitel didn't do it the balistics ruled it out. and the killer didn't bother to go inside the gay youth club, not maximum impackt like terrorist more like to let anyone know I was here. so Israeli police keep looking. I bet you will find someone from the gay comunity who was regected.
5. #4 just like most terrorist attacks r carried out by..
(11.02.09)
self hating Jews! Give it a rest...we both know that terrorist attacks against gays are carried out by homophobic people like you!
6. to #5 I may b alot of things
ghostq   (11.02.09)
but I am not homophobe, I also find it quit flatering when gay hit on me as long there is no touching. it's not my faul, anyway you didn't read it carfully it's not mass impact but only I was there killing. and straight men don't really care where gay hangout. unless they have personal interest in the subject . just simple logic.
7. #6 Ghostey give it a break buddy
Avi ,   Israel   (11.02.09)
Ghostey as a gay man (shock) let me tell you that most homophobic incidents are by men who do not accept their sexuality and as a means commit violent acts whether physical or verbal against gay people in an attempt to supress their own homosexual feelings. And do me a favor the # 1 gay rule is dont come on to straight guys, thanks but we have enough of our own! We know who is gay and who is straight we have a sixth sense so drop the nonsense ok. Have some respect for this mother whose son was gunned down in cold blood along with a girl and numerous people injured in one of the worst hate crimes this country has ever seen.
8. Not "Hate" Crimes
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.02.09)
Acts of ideology; and passion.
9. Avi
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.02.09)
Homophobic? How do you know what my persuasion is? And why did Nir's mother agree to the interview on Teitel when there is no connection between him or any religious group and the attack? And be honest, when you are picked on or insulted because of who you are, isn't it usually uneducated and bored hiloni youth? So why pick on the religious all the time?
10. nutcase
eddie ,   london   (11.02.09)
this murderer is a psychopath, and had a criminal record in the USA, before he came to Israel, It is just an accident that he is jewish, and he is not guided by any rabbis - he is just a looney, who uses religion to justify his criminal acts, just like the Stalinists used communism,to justify theirs. If Judaism was really a violent religion, why are there not regular bombs and shootings against anyone, be thery secular, gay, arab or anything else? This psycho killed a few people 12 years ago. If you generalise from a lone psycho, to tarnish all religiou sJews, then that is precisely how all antisemites have acted over the centuries.
11. The shin bet sounds like a bunch of idiots
Adam Eliyahu Berkowi   (11.02.09)
"the police estimate that he was not the murderer but knows who the shooter was and is covering for him" It may be that teitel is guilty, but it sounds like the interrogators have him confessing to even more crimes than they feel comfortable pinning on one man. WIth all of these confessions flowing, I would like to see how much real evidence they really have. These confessions sound more than a little coerced. As in most convictions of right wing terrorists, the timing is very convenient for the left wing agenda.
12. #9 Have you ever known gays who were NOT anti-religious?Why?
It exposes their sin ,   They can't deal w/it   (11.02.09)

Walt K ,   Sherbrooke, Canada   (11.02.09)
I am agree with you, but the young man wasn't different... If we look seriously about our sexual preferences and manners, we would discover that each one is different of the others. Between consent adults, nobody has a word to say. At last, homophobic people are made in the same wood that racists of all kind.
14. I am gay and don't hate religious
Gay Israeli   (11.02.09)
could we stop the talkbacks filled with hate and judgement?
