1. Next appropriate action...
Linda ,   Poltava, Ukraine   (09.22.10)
... is to award him the Medal of Courage. The man was defending Israel against several bandits. Their ethnicity/nationality is irrelevant.
2. Here we go
Palestinian   (09.22.10)
Please no stupid comment like "stone really hurts".
3. Sorry he did not kill all those murderers who
Vardina   (09.22.10)
stoned him. Reaction to stoning should be similar to reaction to shooting.
4. Palestinians should have guns also?
Jack. A   (09.22.10)
5. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.10)
You pays your money; you takes your chances. Evidently, the dead Palestinian was "known to the police." That's not generally a good thing to put on your resume. Violence is the lingua franca of Palestinians. We've learned that over the past sixty-odd years. If that is the language which you wish to speak, that is the language in which Israel will respond. What better proof could possible exist than the fact that "riots ensued?" If the Palestinians act badly, then you have no right to expect Israel to respond in kind. Stay peaceful; Israel will not do anything. Riot? Well, what did you expect? We're not going to lie down and play dead for your lot. You are a bunch of vicious terrorist animals; expect to be treated as such. And -- for pity's sake -- if you suffer the consequences of your actions, stop whining! The world is sick to death of your whining. (You're really much better at whining than at anything else.) Put THAT on your resume.
6. stones really hurts
boba fat   (09.22.10)
stones kills!!!
7. #2
biggus dikkus ,   wome   (09.22.10)
your koran has punishments that are "death by stoning ",, a stone is a weapon..throw it and you put someones and your life in danger
8. When playing with fire and attacking people, expect to be
Anat ,   Haderah, Israel   (09.22.10)
hurt, even killed.
9. stones
Earl Shugerman ,   Haifa   (09.22.10)
How about all of us contacting the leaders on both sides of the conflict to negotiate in good faith. Throwing stones in any form is toxic. Earl
10. Important to understand
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (09.22.10)
That they throw rocks or whatever has no importance compared with the fact that they believe they are over the law! The simple act of trying to react with such violence means they rule! THAT cannot be accepted! They should pay and understand that they live in Israel, and that if they don't like it, they are welcome to go away and ask for a compensation!!!
11. Throw stones and go to jail - simple as that!
michael redbourn ,   Arad - Israel   (09.22.10)
12. Please no stupid comments like "stones can't hurt"
the peaceful ,   IL   (09.22.10)
be realistic.
13. Another reason to withdraw from the direct talks !
Salma ,   Palestine   (09.22.10)
Killing ,settlements and occupation, together in Jerusalem our capital , this is an intolerable situation !
14. throwing stones
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (09.22.10)
The decades old Palestinian pasttime of throwing stones hasn,t produced one single Nobel prizewinner,acclaime d nuclear scientist ,distinguished profe ssor ,economist,chief negotiator or any other significant contribition to civilisation ,yet still they continue with childish games, how revealing this Palestinian trouble making entity is ?
15. Recently what happened?
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (09.22.10)
An Arab family was coming home from the ER at a hospital. They were driving on Yom Kippur, and their car was stoned. Now it didn't say who did the stoning but many thought it was ultra orthodox Jewish people. This happened at about 4am in the morning. Now immediately the anti-Israel writers, began to write that these people should be charged with attempted murder. That the stones broke all the windows of the car and could have killed the Arabs riding inside the car. I agree. So now, don't argue that stones are no big deal. You see, you can't have it both ways. That stones are deadly when thrown at Arabs, but not a lethal threat when thrown at Jewish people. Otherwise, why would stoning people to death be in the Koran, as a death penalty. The reality of it, is this, if you get a group of people together who begin to throw stones ranging in size fro golf balls to baseballs, they can kill and maim, period. Responding with deadly force is reasonable. But with this incident, I want more information before I make a final judgment.
16. Why not go inside and wait for real police, more to story
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (09.22.10)
Security guards are not the police and should not try to act like them. Most likely the guard got bad and wanted them to pay, rocks can be dangerous and should not be taken lightly but a gun is far deadlier.
17. Palestinian Arab Jihadists
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.22.10)
They want to commit violence against Jews, they want to die, it is our obligation to honor their wishes.
18. Why not allow the police investigation to conclude...
Mike ,   Oxford UK   (09.22.10)
All these street protests and hate calls for talks to be called off. Maybe the guy was acting in self defence, maybe he wasn't. He is in police custody and is innocent until proven guilty. If guilty he will be charged with murder.
19. Before any pro Pal bemoans poor palestinians
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (09.22.10)
LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THE ROCKS THEY WERE THROWING! Teh ain't pebbles off a beach or from your old fish tank.
20. #16- Bloodyscot
Uzziel   (09.22.10)
Before preaching to someone else tell that to your government about Blackwater Security Services Inc. in Irak. You simply don´t know the situation in Israel. Don´t be deluded by the fakestinian narrative of "stones and sticks" against the "third more powerful army in the world".
21. another happy triger israeli
sohaib ,   edinburgh   (09.22.10)
another tragedy that will go unpunished, because it is about a Palestinian terrorist that throws a not like pebbles stones but really big stones that really really hurt.
22. #5
Palestinian   (09.22.10)
"We're not going to lie down and play dead for your lot. You are a bunch of vicious terrorist animals"... PLAYING DEAD... ANIMALS..... Well, another proof that it's stupid to discuss with Israelis...
23. Jewish boy attacked by arabs in Hebron and not one word from
the leftist media   (09.22.10)
24. What did you expect?
Oniel ,   London   (09.22.10)
I can honestly say that I am not taking sides here. This is really simple though... If you are armed and someone throws a rock at you, you are not going to pick up the rock and throw it back, are you? Message to Palestinians (if there is such a thing): Don't throw rocks at armed guards. Simples
25. I am reminded of the Charedi population
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (09.22.10)
which also riots, throws stones and burns rubbish in barrels in order to protest and as a means of protesting. Of course, no one has been severely injured by Israeli police or security guards...yet... and the stones thrown haven't injurded too many police nor bystanders but I think the mentality is dangerously approaching the mentality of Israeli Arabs. In short, anarchy appears to be winning the day in Israel and two factions, the Charedim and the Palestinian Arabs, are forming governments within governments. This state of affairs cannot continue.
26. A repeat of pre-1948
Jerusalem   (09.22.10)
Jews move into Arab neighborhoods, few months or year later, they kill, shoot and claim being victims, then more Jews with weapons move in to protect the peace and the cycle keeping going each time increasing the number of Jews. The victims become terrorists with only one side of the story and NO qualifying responses from the other side and killer Jews become the victims because Arabs are "rioting" The Israeli media is part criminal because they report and give platform to the killers and their enablers from right wing factices like some people commenting on this site The Israeli media doesn’t bother to investigate or at least qualify the lies of the Jewish settlers whose plan is to kick the Arabs out of their homes
27. Pal reports "Another dead", later found untrue
Messiah King Ofer   (09.22.10)
Taken from the Hebrew version of the same article.
28. To #2 - Actually, stones do hurt, believe me!
Goliath ,   Eretz Yisroel   (09.22.10)
29. To: No. 22
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.10)
Oh, stop your nonsense. Palestinian Arabs have engaged in relentless acts of terror for nearly seventy years. And then, when Israel kicks your hinquarters to the curb, you actually whine about it. Grow up. You are a cancer in our midst and -- like all cancers -- you will be excised. Count on it. There is nothing left to "discuss." Violence is the only thing you understand, and we are pretty sick of you.
30. A picture of Arab lawlessness. If Israel is to mimic the US,
Jae ,   Lynn US   (09.22.10)
let it do so in the positive ways. For example, those want-to-be-murderers publicly vandalizing and destroying private property with wepons that can kill and doing so all in the name of treason and racism, need to be cuffed and put in the slammer.
