It's their fault.
2. The facts are
benjamin ,   singapore   (01.01.11)
clear, IDF acted within their lawful authority as a LAWFUL MILITARY OF ISRAEL. Two death by tear gas is unusual but its ok and acceptable under normal circumstance of the current Pals aggression . The Pals took the risk at their peril, so waht is there to complain. The whole action of shoot tear gas is conscientiously haeld as part of the professional and lawful defense against Pals who committed CRIMINAL DAMAGE TO THE NATIONS PROPERTY AND NATIONAL SECURITY .
3. tear gas facts
Stuart ,   y   (01.01.11)
Symptoms typically go away within an hour after exposure stops however prolonged exposure to tear gas or exposure to a particularly large amount, especially in an enclosed area, may lead to long-term eye problems (scarring, glaucoma, or cataracts) and may possibly cause breathing problems such as asthma.
4. When is the IDF going to obey the Supreme Court order?
(01.01.11)
They were supposed to re-route the fence at Bi'iln. The Goldstone report noted that border security had killed 19 protesters including six children. The Bi'iln war crimes case was dismissed in Canada, because they said the Courts in Israel could handle the situation. But its obvious the IDF is operating as a fourth branch of government that is not accountable to the Courts.
5. It´s the fault of people like Sami
Shocked ,   Spain, Madrid   (01.01.11)
Sami, shame on you. It´s the fault of the people who occupy other lands, of the people who builds in other lands, who use the best roads, the best lands, the best resources while condemning the others to the poverty. It´s the fault of the people who use violent means against pacific protestors. When the peaceful ones are attacked, violence is justified. And it´s your fault.
6. Bogus headline
Mr. M ,   Toronto, Canada   (01.01.11)
I've read the whole article. Where is the part about Palestinians vowing revenge? I can't find one word in the story abut that, and yet it's your headline. When Jews say that acts of anti-semitism won't be ignored, is that a vow of revenge? The person you quoted as saying Israel's actions "will not be ignored" goes on to explain his meaning: the world must demand that Israel be accountable. Is that a vow of revenge? If journalists had written this, the headline would be, "Palestinians respond with anger and outrage to protester's death". (They also wouldn't have misspelled a word in the headline.)
7. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.01.11)
"pacific protestors" Pacific is an ocean. You mean passive (pacifist) These protesters are not passive but violent. Simply look at the pictute here at the top of this article where you can see a palestinian protester with a palestinian flag in his one hand & a stone in his other hand.
8. #7 actually he means ''peaceful'' not ''passive''
grammar police ,   etc   (01.02.11)
passive is to active, as peaceful is to violent. Passive resistance is not the same as peaceful protest. ''Passive protest'' is almost an oxymoron, although I dare say you'll find it used by some lazy journalists.
9. Big yawn ...

10. #5 You've made several valid points
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.02.11)
All you have to do now is prove why the Arabs should be allowed to stay Just answer the easy questions, or else button up your utter nonsense When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? What were Palestine's borders? Who were its neighbours? What language did the Palestinians speak? What writing did they use? What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved? What was their religion? Where are their temples? What monuments attest to their existence? What was the name of their capital? Name its other major cities. What was their currency called? Are there any coins that attest to their economy? What was Palestine's form of government? Name its kings or rulers. What are their achievements? With which other peoples did the Palestinians interact? Where can one find any records where in the name of the country of Palestine or its people are mentioned? What Archaeological sites can one name? Where can one find the recorded history of these people? Whom did they conquer or were conquered by? Was Palestine ever recognized by a country whose existence, at that time or even now, leaves no room for misunderstanding? Can anyone name at least Five Palestinian leaders before Arafat? Since there is no such recognized country today, what caused its demise and when did it occur? Those who are lamenting the 'low sinking' of a 'once proud' nation, please tell us, when exactly was this proud nation brought down? By whom was it brought down? Also, what was it so proud of? And here are some very important historical facts and further relevant questions: Not even under the Ottoman Empire's 500 years occupation was the name of Palestine used for any part or section of the Holy Land for administrative purposes.
