1. the answer: perform the autopsy !
eporue ,   europe   (01.05.11)
it was an unexcusable mistake by the palestinian doctors, not to do this ! there will be no answer without, and the whole case go totally over the edges. dig her out tomorrow, and perform the autopsy with intl doctors present. the truth has to be published, whether something was wrong with the tear gas or went wrong in the hospital... jawaher was not born, to end up as a scapegoat - whoever or whatever for ! find out the truth !
2. Who Cares?
Aharon   (01.05.11)
Let G-d sort it out.
3. Corpse abuse
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.05.11)
Allow the corpse to speak for itself, disinter, autopsy & publish the results for all to see And the devil take the hindmos
4. She died becaue .....
Cynic #2   (01.05.11)
She died because of IDF actions. She died because she was protesting the theft of her land. She died because the IDF did not comply with the ruling of the Israeli High Court of "Justice" to move the bloody fence from her land. the immediate cause of death: intense gas inhalation asphyxiation brain damage blood poisoning ... whatever. What more do you want?
5. :: Autopsy on an Arab cannot be done without their permissio
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (01.05.11)
Arabs will never allow a Jewish pathologist to do the autopsy or even examine the body, if at all they will do it with an Arab Dr, and report any lies they want. State of Israel has no power to force the autopsy and if they do there will be outcries of organ theft. Go find yourself another oppressed people to defend, the nice Kurds come to mind, killed by the thousands every year in Turkey, Syria and Iran and previously by the hundreds of thousands at the hands of Saddam henchmen.
6. #2 How many Palestinians have you killed?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (01.05.11)
Enough that heart of her mother cares, SURE you don't know what that means, Aharon ! Sad how "Israelis" evaluate themselves, if we assumed that Mohammed al-Dura and Jawaher Abu-Rahma not killed by "IDF" fire, what about the tens of thousands of others?! Do we really need a story of Jawaher Abu-Rahma to smear "Israel"?! are there NO other patients in Bil'in and all of Palestine but Jawaher ?! you know waht? You act like the people who deny the Holocaust.....simply shocking and quite blindly written.... time to burst the bubble you're living in and face the reality.
7. # 5
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.05.11)
Autopsy or not, the truth will come out in the end. This case has not been closed yet.
8. to #5 unless they got something to hide,
ghostq   (01.05.11)
I think autopsy will revele she wasn't in full health,
9. Another Pal. propaganda scam
Holden ,   Canada   (01.05.11)
Rather than sit down and make a deal with Israel and getting on with actually building a country, these idiotic people spend their time, talent and effort making stupid propaganda. Violent behavior at "peaceful" protests should not be tolerated lightly.
10. IDF not to blame
Wade ,   NYC US   (01.05.11)
The security fence would be destroyed without the army defending it. The fence protects Israeli lives. Tear gas is the best non-lethal control against riots. IF woman did die from the gas, there must have been a pre-existing medical weakness, because the gas is non-lethal outdoors. Even more so if woman really was removed from riot. IDF is not responsible for such an anomaly- they have no choice for riot control.
11. The odds
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (01.05.11)
Since well over 90% of all the Arab claims have been proven to be nothing more than one lie after another, those are about the same odds that they are telling the truth. About a 90% fact that it yet another Pallywood production.
12. To: No. 4
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.05.11)
If any of the reasons you list as the immediate cause of death were true, her family would be chomping at the bit screaming for an autopsy. They are not. Besides -- if you cannot stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. If you are not willing to pay the price for your actions, you shouldn't undertake the actions. How cynical of you that you express no gratitude at all that Israel disperses these violent stone-throwers with tear gas rather than live ammunition. What more do you want?
13. how many rockets
real vision ,   usa   (01.06.11)
how many rockets...How many suicide bombers have the palestinian arabs exploded in Israel. How much daily random violence by arabs...Those are the reasons for the wall. Tthe jews cannot trust the arab population for more an inch and you and the palestinians have never done anything toward peaceful coexistence.
14. to Salma #6
Dave from Brazil ,   Sao Paulo, Brazil   (01.06.11)
Why do you put Israel in quotations? This is beyond ridiculous. The Arabs and Leftist lie a lot to smear Israel, that is why it is necessary to find the truth about everything they say. You are an example of a liar, there are no tens of thousand of Palestinians killed by IDF. You, my friend, should face the reality.
15. #6
Moshe of Rockville ,   Rockville,MD USA   (01.20.11)
You no longer have to "assume" that M. al-Dura and J.Abu-Rahma were not slain by the IDF.Indeed, they were not. The so-called "tens of thousands" of Palestinians alleged by you to have been killed by the IDF is a figment of your very biased imagination. Perhaps your inner wish that the "tens of thousands" would be Israelis.
