1. Rahmah
jj ,   montreal canada   (01.03.11)
According to INN she was in hospital for 10 days prior to the protest and died of cancer.
2. Even if she appears-Pals propaganda has been on all media.

3. New chapter in the fake national literature
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (01.03.11)
of a fake nation
4. Jawaher Abu-Rahma's death.
Spencer ,   Israel   (01.03.11)
It wont be the first time that the Palestinians and anti Israel groups have lied about the cause of death of one of their people. Remember the little boy whom Israel was blamed for shooting..and the causualty who jumped off his stretcher and ran when things got a wee bit hot?
5. Palestinians trying to create another "al-Dura"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (01.03.11)
From the very beginning, circumstances surrounding this death have been suspicious. I'm glad at least, this time, the IDF didn't rush to apologize for something it did not do. What seems clear is that the Palestinians are trying to create another faux "martyr". Well some of us are clued in to their lies.
6. Disgusting, Pallywood farce again
Roy ,   Miami   (01.03.11)
7. The lies and the Palywood are getting out of hand
Marcella   (01.03.11)
What happened to her? We'll never know. All we know is that she died and was quickly buried. The news all over the world was that Jews killed a peaceful Arab demonstrator. A couple of weeks ago a mentally ill PA young man was induced by his family to infiltrate a Jewish town so that he would be killed by the Jews. A few months before that a Jew was filmed running over an Arab boy. The incident was all over the web. What they did not say is that this incident had been set up by the Arabs. The cameras were there, the children throwing rocks were there, and so was an unfortunate Jewish motorist trying to negotiate the narrow streets while escaping a threatening mob. What the Jew did not know is that it had all been choreographed. The Jew could have been lynched for daring to drive in eastern Jerusalem. He was not, but in his haste one of the kids was inadvertently ran over. No damage done to the boy but the incident made the headlines. Jew runs over Arab child. The Al Dura incident was also choreographed and it made headlines for years. All these events must be put together and investigated by police. There should be a STRONG DETERRENT (large fines, transfers to Gaza) put on those involved in lies and choreographed incidents aimed at slandering and delegitimizing Israel - particularly when lives are deliberately sacrificed, whether Arab or Jewish. A suicide bomber might gain sympathy for the Jews. But an Arab killed by the Jews has huge and lasting PR value for them.
8. Woman's death
Enoch   (01.03.11)
Will this ever appear in the anti Israeli press, such as Haaretz?
9. Lies lies lies
Rich ,   USA   (01.03.11)
The lie was thought up, spread around like wildfire through a presscorp that is always just dying to make Israel look bad and the damage has been done. No matter what any newspaper now says, and I'm betting you won't find any retractions in rags like "The Guardian" or any British Newspaper for that matter. This kind of crap is sickening and I would not blame Israel for scrapping the whole damn peace process
10. Pallywood seeks to create a new Muhammad Dura
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (01.04.11)
Definitely not the first time these terrorists and terror-sympathizers are caught in a boldface lie aimed to manipulate the world media.
11. PA dream survives with lies...
bruno ,   Portugal   (01.04.11)
As you can see, the palestinian dream is fueled with lies so that they can survive. Forget it, they have no conscience whatsoever. They sow with lies and reap acceptance. I have an advice for Ynet. Next time one of these "innocents" die, will you please add to the text that this might be a possible scam since there is no given proof from the PA.
12. ABU-RAHMA
LT COL HOWARD ,   WASHINGTON DC USA   (01.04.11)
I have no personal knowledge of this incident. However, in Jenin they lied to me, the UN and the world about the number, extent and causes of casualties. The same was true of PA accounts and operation cast lead. If the allegations are in any way true I would expect complete documentation to be made available to the IDF. Otherwise, I can only assume that this pattern of deceit, lies, false accusations, and slander will continue and will be bought by the liberal Israeli media and by most of the mainstream media in the West.
13. oh please

15. You know it is lie when Abbas/Erakat cry "war crime"
Cynic ,   USA   (01.04.11)
16. Jonathan Pollack said she was there
William ,   Israel   (01.04.11)
how is it possible, that if the protest was full of rock throwers and tear gas, that Pollack was not only able to notice this woman there (so he claims) but also follow her status from the protest, to being taken by an ambulance, to dying in the hospital....all with a total of 998 other protesters around them, in mayhem. I find Pollack's testimony hard to believe considering the circumstances, and he certainly has an agenda with a desire to prove the IDF wrong. If she was there, then many others of the 1000 protesters would be able to corroborate Pollack's claims but so far haven't. And the medical records seem to paint a different picture. Another case of use a normal death to launch a racist war against Israel on false pretenses....the only kind the Left seem to come up with.
17. Consistent
vik ,   uk   (01.04.11)
Her brother was killed by an IDF teargas grenade. While admitting he was killed by the grenade the IDF decided no investigation was necessary . The young man with 8 bullets in him 2 days ago was killed because of a misunderstanding...Good starr to the year fro the iDF
18. Proper Response
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (01.04.11)
If it is found that the woman is lying then deport her entire family and bloodline along with her supporters and their bloodlines to Gaza. Enough of these Palestinian lies, ENOUGH. Deport them!!
19. To: Rich at No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.04.11)
Israel scrap the whole so-called "peace process?" No need. The ersatz "Palestinians" have already done that, haven't they? Been doing it for nearly seventy years; nothing new. Their own worst enemies. Must be some sort of genetic predisposition to short-sightedness and stupidity; no other way to explain it.
20. #8 Enoch
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.04.11)
Yes, it has been reported in Haaretz. http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/idf-medical-report-on-bil-in-protester-death-contains-significant-inconsistencies-1.335043
21. Does the IDF not video tape these demonstrations?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (01.04.11)
When I was in Jerusalem with the Women of Green protesting in front of the "home" of Rifka Glatt, a prosecutor of horrible conscience, I was filmed by at least two crews. Surely if minor peaceful protests such as that were filmed, I would think the IDF would have very detailed films of violent protests.
22. Go to the bottom of it.
George Blat ,   Pleasanton, CA, US   (01.04.11)
Shin Bet must exhume the body and do the tests. If it's true what the Arab side says pay compensation to the family and apologize. If not send Pollack and fellow travelers right away to Gaza. No courtroom and no return ticket. Send especially the self-hating Jews, let them appreciate how much world solidarity they get.
23. Stupid Pali Tricks
David Rosenberg ,   New York, USA   (01.04.11)
They lie about their history (or lack thereof), they claim Jewish land as their own, they deny Jewish history in the middle east, they inflate their census records, they murder gays, journalists and others who don't tote their line, and they have lied about civilian deaths in clashes with the IDF in the past. A compliation of liars breed more lies. No mystery here.
24. IDF questioning reports, not declaring them fake
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (01.04.11)
She most likely died from tear gas but there could have been other health problems that added to it. Tear gas or any gas for that matter is deadly if you breath in too much and lower the oxygen in the bloody to much.
25. Isarelis and Israel's supporters have a problem
Cynic #2   (01.04.11)
They have always been led to believe in the purity of Israel and its army. It is as if they are doped with this info. I don't blame them for refusing to even believe that a protester died in a demonstration from gas inhalation. They live in cuckoo land. BUT this does not blur the fact that Israel is a colonial settlement enterprise based on denying the rights of the indigenous Arab (never mind the term Palestinian) population; and that Israel is clearly moving towards fascism. So wake up before it is too late!
26. Not all Pallywood productions can be as good as al-Dura.
Messiah King Ofer   (01.04.11)
27. asking IF Palestinians lie is like asking
Ben ,   Gush Etzion   (01.04.11)
if bears sh*t in the woods or if the Pope prays
28. Other questions need answering.
Larry ,   London, England   (01.04.11)
Was land belonging to the Rahma family confiscated to build the nearby Jewish settlement? If so, were they compensated? In April 2009 the Israeli supreme court ordered the fence moved. Why has the Israeli government and IDF still not moved the fence? And does this mean that it is the IDF not the protesters who are breaking Israeli law?
29. #17.#28 TRY TO DISTRACT FROM U.K's. MANY FAULTS AND CRIMES
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (01.04.11)
BRIT SOLDIERS ARE KILLING PEOPLE IN IRAQ, AFGHANISTAN IRELAND...............AND WITH NO APOLOGIES OR EXPLANATIONS FOR ACCIDENTAL KILLINGS OF CIVILIANS.
30. malicious lie should be punishible by court!!!
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (01.04.11)
If this turns out to be a lie, then the family that perpetrated this lie should be brought to the courts for malicious slander...
