31. When will this stop?
IBRAHIM ,   YAFFA   (01.28.11)
are you really jews or what? Remember the COMMANDMENTS?
32. Is KILLING ME... LEGAL?
Ibrahim ,   Tel aviv   (01.28.11)
Jews kill Palestinians and nothing really happens.. does it mean that my neighbor can kill me and he'll be TSADIK? come on now!!!
33. #7 Salma
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.28.11)
"hahahahahaha", that's the same sounds that inmates in the asylum make, they're also out of touch with reality You sound like a stray rock bounced off your noggin, scrambline what little brains you had in the first place I'm still waiting for you to name the single (only one is needed) Arab Democracy that you would like Israel to emulate
34. #11 Salma, if #7 is a fake
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.28.11)
It made more sense than you do Be a dear, name the last three rulers of your Palestinian Fantasy Land, where was it's Capitol, how about some ancient coins that I would be able to view You have your "facts" backwards, it's our land, you're infringing on it While you're at it, name a single Arab Democracy that you want to model your fantom entity on ?
35. # 20
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.28.11)
Settlers refuse to leave. Settlers rehuse Palestinain law. Now shut up.
36. "Confiscate settler weapons" - Why? Settlers did not attack
leo ,   usa   (01.28.11)
and if not for weapons they would've been dead now. There is nothing wrong with weapons, which are being used in self-defense.

PeaceNow: "kills Palestinians for no reason".

I could be wrong, but based on the information in article stone throwing is good enough reason to respond with deadly force.

PeaceNow will save much more Palestinian stone throwers if it will try to convince Palestinians not to create provocations.

37. #17 Bloodyscot YOU are a Bloody fool
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.28.11)
Point an empty gun at a police officer, let me know if you've survived, he won't bother to check to see if it's loaded Or just fire a round in the air, the reaction will be rather unpleasant, detrimental to your being able to continue to breathe I just like your ilk, telling us how to deal with things that you have never encountered
38. Bloodyscot @ 17, I do not know exact answer to
leo ,   usa   (01.28.11)
your question, but one killed is one too many and is reason enough to take stone throwing seriously. But did I really have to tell you that.
39. Jouko @ 23, there is no hate. I do not have to hate
leo ,   usa   (01.28.11)
somebody who is deadly threat to me. I just have to remove this threat using all means at my disposal and then move on with my life. Not hate, not fear, pure self-defense.
40. #32 Ibrahim, you're in no danger
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (01.28.11)
Just as long as you keep your rocks to yourself Once you're thrown a rock or two, you're asking for revenge, and by jingo you're not going to get a chance to throw any more rocks if I can help it It's called self-defense
41. #20 what "Palestinian Law" are you referring to?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.28.11)
Is there a "Palestinian Law" that states "Every Jew must die." Who made up that law?
42. To: No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
You tried for a rhetorical question, but you ended up with a phony plaintive bleat. Don't be ridiculous. You know what happens to Jews who make a wrong turn in their car, or who wait at bus stations at the hands of Arabs. The history is real, and it is sordid. The best way to put an end to Settlers defending themselves is for Arabs to stop hurling stones. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
43. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
What difference does it make? Attempted murder is a crime, too; the settlers have a right to defend themselves.
44. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
Oh my, yes. Here are the leading contenders: Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine Hamas Palestine Islamic Jihad Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine - General Command Popular Resistance Committees Fatah Tanzim Salah al-Din Brigade Palestine Liberation Front There are more, but these are the ones that readily come to mind. Why do you come to the defense of terrorist thugs and people who celebrated wildly in the wake of the terrorist attacks in the United States on September 11, 2001? While Israeli Jews queued for hours to give blood, the Arabs on the West Bank and Gaza -- and in Israel proper -- handed out sweets and rejoiced. You should be ashamed of yourself.
45. to sarah
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (01.28.11)
sarah i been readin your comments for long time now do you reallise you support israel with blind eye to you whatever israel does is justified you gotto have too much hate toward theese people to say that the kid who got shot deserved it if he was ur son or brother what would u be feeling now at least try to be human after someones killing let me ask you a question if settlers killed all the palis without a reason (rocks seems to be enough) would you still support their action?
46. To: No. 16
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
The name "Goliath" ring a bell? Of course rocks can kill, especially when hurled forcefully using a sling. They've broken bones and caused concussions. What is wrong with you? Logic dictates that the fault lies with the aggressors -- in this case, clearly, the Arab youths.
47. To: No. 45
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
1. The person who was shot engaged in dangerous and illegal behavior. Moreover, there are conflicting news reports -- it is not clear if the youths were throwing stones or had actually fired weapons. The foregoing notwithstanding, I trust you are aware that rocks can -- and do -- kill. Wouldn't the best possible course have been for this person not to have hurled a rock (or fired a weapon) to begin with? 2. After six wars -- all started by the Arabs -- and seven decades of unrelenting terror visited upon Jews both in Israel and in the Diaspora, no, I am not favorably disposed towards the ersatz "Palestinians." They are a violent lot that can never fit into Israeli society. They are a cancer in our midst and, like all cancers, must be excised. 3. Since the Jewish Settlers do not go around engaging in random killing sprees, your question is inapposite and entirely irrelevant.
48. everyday
ale ,   italia   (01.28.11)
following sionist' agenda... every day arabs and goim may be killed. to fight is a comandment, like rabbi's said. to kill teens is a settlers ability. every day settlers steal Peace to everyone..... steal life at arabsa teen .... every day....people die for sionist' idea.
49. Anton 45
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.28.11)
If I had children or a brother they wouldn't be throwing rocks at people. I have no doubt that Sarah's wouldn't either. People who are so lacking in respect for others that they throw rocks at them deserve whatever they get. If they are to stupid to figure out that their actions may provoke reactions then then they need to wize up risk earning a Darwin award.
50. jj # 16
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.28.11)
You are a perfect example of why some people shouldn't own guns, and I am about as pro-gun as you can get . If anyone would take you up on your silly bet I would love to see your gun jamb.
51. to 47 49
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (01.28.11)
i hasnt been a day since 19 year old boy killed by setllers it does seem opposite of what u say to me settlers are killing like they are on the hunt since they are not questioned for their actions why would they keep themselves from having that pleasure dont you think? you didint answer my question which i already know the answer do u have respect for thiefs eagleebeak? that kid didint may be know his action's consequences everybosy makes mıstakes is u let that kid to live he could have seen his mistakes too just like us
52. #19 You are so naive its scary. Educate yourself and stick
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (01.28.11)
up for those who wish to walk in their homeland without being bludgeoned by rocks and stabbed by knives. thats all Jews want, freedom to walk with out concern. but terrorists like the one killed seek blood. only a blood seeker approaches and doesnt back down from as single individual...approaches him with rocks and manical hate in his eyes. This is why Jews must have ability for self defense. arabs drop your hate and your weapons you will be fine, if jews do that...you would seek to murder us. simple as that. and history gives such basis for this.
53. JJ If man hurls a 90 mph rock at your head from point blank
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (01.28.11)
range and a dozen other people do the same, and then they proceed to bludgeon your skull with the same rocks, you would either be dead from the initial encounter or your head would be crushed from the latter. I read a disgusting story a few years ago about arabs who took a 12 year old Jewish kids head and bludgeoned it with massive rocks so the kid was (dead and) unrecognizable. you think rocks cant kill? you born yesterday?
54. #31 Yes Ibrahim our commandments say if someone seeks to
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (01.28.11)
kill us we kill them. very logical.you would do the same if a group of men with murder in their eyes and rocks in their hand came after you... it also says only Israel is our land not north africa not arabia not iran not indonesia nowhere else, something arabs should consider for themselves too.
55. anton 51
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.28.11)
By the age of 19 a person should know right from wrong and understand consequences. As far as people who steal, it would depend on circumstances. If they are starving and steal food, I would forgive them.
56. #50 + #53, finally, 46, sarah.
jj   (01.28.11)
50, you should consider it. 53, i would like to see the man who could "hurl a rock at my head from point blank" and his dozen friends. they would probably be playing for the NY yankees do you realise how few people in the world can throw a rock at 90mph? finally, 46, sarah; yes goliath rings a bell. the giant. from the same book that brought us talking snakes. so breaking bones and causing concussions lets me open fire? ill remember that next time i see two people in a fight and pass on the advice to one of the participants.
57. To: No. 56
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.28.11)
1. They hurl rocks using slings; the velocity actually often exceeds 90 mph. Have you never taken a physics course? 2. You can ridicule the Bible as much as you like. Of course, it would be interesting to hear you account for why so much of what is recorded in the Bible has been proven true basis archeology. But it was never meant to be interpreted absolutely literally. I guess you never quite managed to take a course in Literature of the Old Testament, either. I guess you could not tear yourself away from fondling your assault rifle. 3. I'll tell you what. The next time someone hurls a rock at your head, tell us your response. Once you regain consciousness, of course.
58. JJ You miss the point...
Yaawqove ,   Israel   (01.28.11)
but you knew that. If you lived here as a Jew and tried to walk in Judea freely you would understand very quickly what many of us are talking about. Heck, if you wanted to walk in many Arab Israeli towns and cities youd also understand what I and others are talking about. Its easy to write from your commander's chair on the east coast isnt it? and whether its 80 or 91 mph you get the point. mathematically speaking objects thrown by people are faster over shorter distances than longer because of gravity and momentum...but you knew that. I hope you keep an open mind but youre heavy sarcasm and armchair opinions from 8000 miles away bely that an open mind is difficult for you. I on the other hand I understand both Jewish and Arab/"Palestinian" narratives quite well (just saying) and thats why I view the way I do.
59. #56 - you seem smarter than the rest...
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland,Aotearoa   (01.28.11)
...when you are not expressing your opinion. If NY Yankees were allowed to use slings, the world record would have been much faster. By your twisted logic, if a person has a chance to recover after a gunshot wound, guns are non-lethal too. Besides, f stones are non-lethal, why is stoning so popular with this crowd as means of execution?
