in contributing to the escalation of the region, he soley responsible of over hiting the sensitive area of the region,

Are you serious? The Krav Maga trained soldiers could not overpower two peasants with primitive tools? They had to shoot them dead? This is a terror attack? The term is too broadly defined and is splashed here and there to justify the murder of angry civilians.

Nice. Pitchfork and a broken bottle you say? 'Disguised as farmers' eh? Most moral army in the world, of course. You're on to a winner with that occupation fellas. Keep up the good work.

Thanks to Obama, four people have died in Israel so far. I guess he wants to prove that it he did not deserve the Nobel Prize

it's kind of ironic that you're applying the same ethical fault you're implicating the soldiers of- assuming guilt before innocence.

It is wrong for Israel to shoot crazed Palestinians who are trying to kill them as it harms the piecing of Israel. You must lay down your weapons and give them to your enemies. Bon kers Moon The Quartet of Clowns has decided that for the cause of peace all Jews must leave Israel or die. Do not resist us like Iran has done or we will do nothing to you. Continue to be a naive pushover nation of lemmings who do as they are told and all will be well for the Islamic world.

If that means killing, then so be it. If they don't want to die - then don't try and kill our soldiers.

Amazing, the Israeli soldiers shoot only to kill, two people with primitive weapons and where in occupied west bank, they must have been able to shoot at legs, to disable them, or they just have to hunt them down and murder them What does this give about the image of Israel although the whole world now against, can;t they learn? Enough Shameful!!!!! Somebody there must have some sanity.

to put the blame on the victims, the IDF should have extended the list to include lethal weapons that couldn't have been neutralized like a stinging monstrous bee or wasp. can A Bee Cee?

There is saying in arabic which says Alkalb mikdamsh Akhu which means dog dont bit his brother

"At a certain point, they began shouting and waving a pitchfork and a broken bottle." You call this a 'terror attack'????! The streets of Amsterdam would be littered with dead bodies every weekend night if the Dutch police behaved as the IDF does.

...For standing up to the filthy occupation and illegal settlement activity in East Jerusalem and the rest of Palestine. Never again will a Palestinian accept the status quo of enslavement, checkpoints, and humiliation. Death is more honorable than slavery. We WILL be free in our own independent state. Amen.

reaction, and when the attack is meant to be deadly, expect a deadly reaction. You know, Jews too have the right of the first of all human rights, the right to live and protect one's life...!!!

CAN KILL!!!! i love the way the palestinians turn broken glass bottles and pitchforks into AGRICULTURAL EQUIPMENT. what's next???? prg's are agricultural equipment too? suicide belts are agricultural equipment too? the palestinians are shameful liars and their version of events have been proven as lies in the past. is there a camera at every checkpoint???? USE IT! AND SHOW THE WORLD WHAT REALLY HAPPENED, OTHERWISE, THE STUPID PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD WOULD BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO POINT A FINGER AT ISRAELI"ABUSE AND INTENTIONAL KILLING". hameed aboughaze, iranian

Did you see the x-ray on Ynet of the bullet lodged in the brain of the kid who was shot yesterday? Did you also read the quote from the Palestinian doctor who described the entry and exit wound of the bullet? Did you use your brain and realize there can be no exit wound if the bullet is lodged in the brain? And if I take a pitchfork and push it through your chest, while my friend slices your neck open with the bottle, what does that make me, a farmer? Your problem down in Aussieland is that you've never seen your nieghbor's head crushed by a "stone" (the Pals throw grapefruit sized rocks), or had their fingers burned to stumps and their face disfigured by a molotov cocktail, or had their throat slit open by a friendly Palestinian knife. How ignorant and naive you are.

Notice how Obama ignored the war crime committed by Palestinians in which an innocent man was killed? Nour also thanks Obama for ignoring the other war crimes over the weekend when five more anti-personnel missiles were fired from Gaza at Israeli civilians. Goldstone was right when he called the missiles war crimes and those who fire them war criminals. Nour, you should also thank Obama for not demanding you Palestinians stop your war crimes as a condition of returning to peace negotiations. We know you can't and you won't. You should thank Obama for not demanding your leaders be put on trial for war crimes over the past 60 years: suicide bombers, fire bombers, rocket bombers, shooting attacks, knife attacks - all against Israeli civilians that have murdered hundreds and wounded thousands. Yes, Nour, thank Obama for ignoring your war crimes. You Pals better stop making excuses and get your butts back to the negotiating table, because Obama's patience for your war crimes won't last too long. He knows that Israelis never protest outside the American embassy in Tel Aviv and we never chant "death to America". You Palestinians like that "death to America" chant. Obama and the American people don't. Remember that.

Why a german police woman is able to disarm a man armed with a gun without killing him and the soldiers of the "most moral army in the world" are unable to disarm youths "armed" with a pitchwork?

primitive weapons can kill you idiot.

I respectfully suggest that all those who see no harm in a pitchfork and broken bottle volunteer to stand and be the recipient of such items piercing THEIR bodies! I am sick and tired of Israelis and Israeli soldiers being expected to stand there and just take it! Kol Hakoved to the two IDF members who knew what to do. It is only when Israel stops acting like a doormat will the Arabs and the world again respect her. Right now the world says jump, israel bows its head and mumbles "how high" --Is it no wonder that everyone is against her--no one respects a wimp!

For inciting the populace. As for the 2"innocent palestinians" They wanted to hurt the Isreli soldiers with intentions to kill. The soldiers acted according to the procedures. We are not here in a dance ball, where you ask courtesly if you want to dance. Why should the soldiers risk to be hurt or their lives to disabled them. As for Palestinian land, let's make it clear it is not yet Palestinian Land. It is a land in dispute, Jordan anexed these lands during 1948. In 19 years they didn't have the Palestinians or Palestine in mind as an autonomous people or Entity. It was simple Jordan. For the second time since 1948 they declare an unprovoke war against Israel. There were no settlements then. They destroyed the Jewish Places in Jerusalem and elsewhere in the West Bank . According to UN Jerusalem had an international Status that the Jordanans didn't respect, when they divided Jerusalem for the first time in it's History since founded by King David. NO jews were alowed. The jewish quarter destroyed and vandalized. Now the Palestininas want to portray as if nothing happened. While Jews were not allowed in their Holy Places during the Jordaninan Government, Muslims and Christians are allowed to pray and worship in Churches and Mosques all over the West Bank, Jerusalem and the rest of Israel. While Israel has 1250000 Israeli Arabs who live side by side with Jews. the PA is proclaming from now that no jews will be allowed to live in their territories same is for Jordan. So what the heck you two complain? We are in a stage of war, with no recognition from them of Israel. They want to fix the problem ok. First Condition to recognize Israel as a Jewish State (They dont want)

Kol Hachavod to the soldiers for defending their lives.

it's kind of difficult to start a "spontaneous" intifada. there is a lot of planning and coordinating to do, and the fighters need to be motivated, as well as trained. just like the "gleiwitz incident" staged by the germans prior to the outbreak of ww2, the palestinians are looking for "a few good martyrs" to inspire their latest round of attacks on israel. not only was this attack choreographed ("farmers" rushing angrily at an army checkpoint? it sounds like they were promised the "usual" express entry to paradise), but the "outrage" (including some of the well-prepared denunciations of the "occupation" in talkbacks here) are clearly meant to whip up support for another round of "resistance operations", namely a continuation of the terrorist attacks and propaganda war on israel. it's amazing how the palestinians continue their war to destroy israel, but the only "obstacle to peace" is israeli housing in jerusalem!

By your "Amen" expression you sound like a Christian. Go ahead, be FREE in your own and independant state of Gaza! Right now!

Nour you are dreamingm in fantasy. Forget Jerusalem will be given to the Palestinians.Let Obama and the rest to shout and to condemn Israel.Nothing will happen. The so called quartet,UN,Eu and now your muslim president Obama supporting you because of OIL,TRADEand most important thing your Uma od 1.3 or 1.4 billion and still growing like ants. The G d of Israel is with us and you should know that our G od works on misterious way. Jerusalem will never be divided. Have good thinking.

These incidents occured outside the towns of Itamar and Har Bracha not in some isolated Arab village or the city of Nablus. Call a spade a spade. if the local Pals can't/won't live in peace then they must go.

What the hell would you know about it? Australia has had only the tiniest taste of Arabic 'bad behavior' with the riots they caused in Sydney a few years ago, not to mention the on-going disturbances by the Lebanese population in the southern suburbs of said city - but that's nothing. I wonder; ever had a pitchfork shoved into yor face by a savage? Probably not. Guess what mate? If you're an armed soldier during such an experience (yeah right) - I'm pretty sure I'd know what you'd do. Absolute troll!

when "agricultural equipment" is used for murder, they become weapons. if palestinians want to call it that, then why not call tear gas "air fresheners" and 1-ton bombs "excavating equipment"? works for them, works for me.

might talk to them about it, jews had those during the British mandat. as for east jerusalem, Nachlat Simeon is right next to shake Jarah and it belong to jews, that Jerusalem neighborhood was established in 1891. so stop stealing jewish land.

even in dirty dipers, they hide knives, and that isn't invention that is reality.
