1. why is this news
(02.26.10)
Some simple citizens honor Goldstein. What is news is that the most moderate Arab leaders, Abbas and Fayyad, regularly honor murderous terrorists.
2. Goldstein's picture with a Torah hangs on my wall.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (02.26.10)
arabs teach their children to kill Jews and he prevented a massacre by arabs. There is no doubt in my mind that Hashem has authorized the Jews to kill anyone who tries to kill them. NEVER AGAIN.
3. Bunnie - you're a sad, sad racist, filled with hatred...
Kim ,   Melbourne   (02.26.10)
I feel sorry for you....
4. #2
Michael ,   Haifa   (02.26.10)
maybe you ought to join him there
5. #2 Bunnie
Jerry Dexel ,   Arizona   (02.26.10)
Hey Bunnie how do you know that Goldstein stopped a massacre of Jews in Hebron?
6. Remember Mordechai Lapid and his son Shalom ?
Ilan ,   Ariel   (02.26.10)
Goldstein's friend and son were murdered by Arab terrorists a half year before he went off the bend. There is no way to condone what he did but his actions do have a context as well. Arabs have murdered many innocent people while actions like Goldstein's have been infrequent. Yet the people who run for headlines about Goldstein never have a word of condemnation for Arabs doing similar acts.
7. Goldstein a Hero to many Jews
David ,   USA   (02.26.10)
It is very sad that many Jews in Israel and abroad worship a murderer and terrorist like Goldstein.
8. This is nothing
Moshe ,   NY, USA   (02.26.10)
The Oslo accords legacy continue as well and kills hundreds of jews. But killing jews is Ok, right?
9. Jews descend to their level or they ascend to Jews' level?
observer   (02.26.10)
10. Normally, it is Muslim Arab terrorism
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (02.26.10)
which we have to defend ourselves against. Terrorism of this kind is cowardly and despicable. But as a Jew loyal to the state of Israel, I also cringe at, and am ashamed of, the terrible crimes committed by Baruch Goldstein. I am also aghast that he is honoured by some Jews today in Israel.
11. Bunnie Talks The Talk But Safely Walks In LA
World Citizen ,   the world   (02.26.10)
I've often wondered why someone like Bunnie Myers has not packed his bags and moved to Hebron or some barren hillside shack in Samaria. He talks a tough line but in the end I think he is a soft coward. Life in California is just to good. The trouble with Bunnie is he has convinced so many Israelis to not look at the hard facts on the ground. You cannot make the Palestinians dissappear no matter how many Goldsteins there are. Somehow the two parties have to realise that there have been great injustices done in the name of both factions. Both sides have killed innocent people. I will say that Israel seems to be killing innocents on a vastly greater scale. This is unacceptable to the civilised world. It is time for the Bunnie Myers of the world to shut up. Hatred is not the answer and it never was. Only Israelis can change how the world sees Israel. Its time for honest Israelis to look at what is happening on the West Bank and Gaza. You cannot humiliate and starve several million people and not expect them to lash back out at you. There has to be justice for the Palestinian people before there can ever be peace. Those are the facts. Ignore them at your own peril.
12. Kadosh Kadosh Kadosh
Gershon ben Velvel ,   Yerushalyim   (02.26.10)
There is a special place in Heaven for tzadiks like Dr. Goldstein. He is our cherished prophet, who was not afraid to act and had the holy flame within him brightened for one moment of the highest piety. May his memory be blessed for many years to come.
13. #11, And where do you live, that you feel so connected
Jake   (02.26.10)
to this conflict and any of this? What is it your business? Who are you, anyway? Why do hide behind a name like 'World Citizen' ? Not so tough without your disguise, are you? I guarantee that each and every one of your posts is boring, insipid, and pathetic, and even Israel-haters are reading them with rolling eyes.
14. 1,000,000 Arab terror attacks to 1 Jewish attack. why fixate
Jae ,   Lynn USA   (02.26.10)
on the 00.0001%- how about the 99.9999 % ? Leftist Jews = zero backbone for Jewish rights
15. Ran Cohen: If I enter a synagogue in Damscus, or Cairo
Jae ,   Lynn USA   (02.26.10)
am I a terrorist? NO. If I enter a synagogue in Jericho, whose synagogue- which predates Islam itself and the ARAB occupation and colonization of Israel by 6 centuries- am I a terrorist? Its my synagogue. I am Jewish, why can i go to a synagogue in istanbul or Seattle or Fez or cairo or tehran but not Jericho. How ABOUT the problem being Arabs who have such hatred for Jews Jews cant even pray in Jewish shul built 2000 years ago by jewish ancestors. Your brain is sludge in your old age; racist to your own people. Who knew?
16. i met boruch goldstein
david ,   new york   (02.27.10)
a very caring and dedicated physician. he personally witnessed jews dying from the terrorism committed by those very same people. the labor government wouldn't lift a pinky to help them in fact they were giving the arab terrosits weapons and giving our land to them
17. alive is better than the dead
nana ,   alkhalil   (02.27.10)
goldstone is alive ....
18. How many arabs named their children after
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.27.10)
hitler and eichmann? Enough, so that we know the hate they feel for us. The joy of the parents after their terrorist child is killed killing Jews. We should teach our children that this is the enemy and that the arabs hate the Jews. That the arabs are the illegal settlers on holy Jewish land. That the arabs take over Jewish religious sites and claim them as their own. That the arabs claim our prophets as their own.
19. Spewing out?
Ussishkin ,   Tel Aviv Israel   (02.27.10)
This not so disguised dismissive comment by the writer leaves a really nasty taste. Its that bitterness of recognition that both the writer and so many readers of this condone what Goldstein did, and don't actually get what all the fuss is about. This man cold bloodedly entered a mosque and murdered people at prayer, shooting at them using an IDF issue weapon and wearing an IDF uniform. What happened was that he spewed out death and loathing and was allowed to by lax Israeli soldiers and nurtured by settlers. Don't forget that whilst he was firing a group of Jews remained praying in their prayer hall next door within the Cave of the Patriarchs complex. Condoning murder of innocent people at prayer is not condoned by the Torah
20. # 2 Rascist Bunnie in her rabbit hole in LA
Avi ,   Israel   (04.27.10)
Yet she cant commit to Israel and leave the material trappings of LA. what a hypocrite, arm chair zionist. Just ask your selves why hasnt she packed her bags and moved to Hebron to support her settler friends?
21. Emigrate
JL ,   Sonoma USA   (02.25.12)
As an American, one whose father fought German forces in WWII, it is disgusting to read the posts of U.S. based Jews extolling the virtues of this execrable terrorist and the virtue of his actions. To converse, debate, lambast any of these cowards is wasting time. All I ask is that they leave my country. We gave their type a place to reside, yet still they remain. Emigrate, walk your talk, occupy the West Bank, stone school children walking to school, rip up an olive tree. Do what you will, but do so in Israel. The dream has died a pathetic death at the hands of the judeo-fascist and Israel devolves into a state distressingly similar to Germany in the early 30's.
22. #5
Christian ,   Sandefjord   (11.27.13)
He killed 29 people who were occupying Israel now did he not? Of course that saves lives.
23. #19
Christian ,   Sandefjord   (11.27.13)
You are talking about the Torah, can you please point me to the book, chapter and verse that says that its ok to worship other elohim in Yisrael? Please also point me to the book, chapter and verse that allows pagan religious sites in Yisrael. Thank you.
