1. Scary Video.
Salma ,   Palestine   (02.06.11)
any way , Friends learn from each other, we all know who are friends of the repressive regime in Egypt...it's not surprising at all.
2. Crazy regime...
Akram ,   Ramallah   (02.06.11)
Crazy Crazy Crazy regime...
3. another brutal regime supported by israel
ivan ,   haifa   (02.06.11)
like Videla´s or Apartheid.
4. unpleasant, but look at it in the right perspective
that Phepps dude ,   Netanya   (02.06.11)
It looks like an act of outright murder, yes, without justification. But if the Muslim Brotherhood takes over, the same kind of thing will happen but on a much bigger scale.
5. It's easy to push over the blame
cognition   (02.06.11)
And what other brutal regimes does Israel support? Iran, Sudan, Lebanon, Syria.. you wanna blame Israel for everything? And it wasn't about supporting the regime, it's about keeping the peace deal in tact between the two countries.

Surely you haven't forgotten of how the Muslims are told to treat Dhimmi's, using the most extreme form of Apartheid Allow me to refresh your failed memory "DHIMMI - Non-Muslims living in the Khilafah Tuesday, 29 May 2007 14:33 .The position of non-Muslims living under Islamic rule (dhimmi) is a widely misunderstood topic. Those wishing to attack Islam and its systems portray Islam’s treatment of the dhimmi as worse than its treatment of animals. Historical incidents where dhimmi suffered persecution at particular times are generalised and quoted out of context in order to back up their claims." Care to comment ?
7. Hard to tell from that clip alone
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.06.11)
Crime like anything needs multiple components like a doctor's diagnosis. No doctor would just diagnose off of one test or one x-ray. He would have a file, which contains the physical exam, the patient complaint, results of other testing and multiple veiws in a x-ray study, among other things. So we need more information rather just a knee-jerk reaction. Who is this guy, who were the officers on guard that day in that location? Is the protester dead? Where is his family? At this point in my life I've learned and seen how the Arab and Muslim media stage and fabricate stories. So I need more info. Secondly even if true, you have one criminal act by a policemen. You don't indict the entire police force for the act of one man. Certainly Mubarak can't control everything. What if it turned out that the guy shot, was a suspect in a home invasion, and that he raped a young 12 year old girl? Then what would you think? Justice? You see my point?
8. I know now that the source of pollution in
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.06.11)
Haifa is from #3 ivan. I sure hope we did not support bringing this anti Semite to Israel.
9. Israel could not have the power to
Barney ,   USA   (02.06.11)
keep this regime in place. What I have observed from the deposing of a brutal terrorist ruler in iraq is that once the strongman is removed, there is more chaos. sunnis blowing up shites, men women and children etc. Could it be that this is the only kind of govt that arabs understand? Is there one example of a successful freedom loving tolerant democracy in the arab world? I can't name one.
10. and if radical islam replaces mubarak
Barney ,   USA   (02.06.11)
then us aid will stop. tourism will stop. you will have a even more poverty stricken country whose populace will blame Israel for their woes because they don't have it together enough to overcome radical islam and prosper. they would rather hate and suffer.
11. Is It Real or Pallywood 2nd try
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.06.11)
We should all know by now, that one low quality video isn't enough. Sadly, we all have seen so many staged and fabricated stories form the Arab Media, that nobody should take this at face value. First we haven't seen all video, only a selected portion. A Doctor for instance when examining a patient, will see the patient, listens to the chief complaint, does an physical examination, it may include orthopedic tests, neurological exam, an x-ray series, blood and urine tests etc.. What the doctor doesn't do is look at one x-ray of the anonymous patient and make a diagnosis. In fact if he/she did that in would be considered malpractice. This potential crime is no different, all we have seen, (at this point) is about 30-45 seconds of a youtube video. We don't know who the guy is, who is his family? Who was the policemen that shot him, if in fact he was shot? We have no history prior to the event, do we? What if this guy was positively identified as a home invader, and had raped a 12 year old girl earlier in the day? Would the reaction be the same? All I ask is stop the knee-jerk response. Even if this policemen shot the guy in cold blood as it may appear. Do you blame all the police for the action of one guy? Does it even prove Mubarak had issued orders to use live ammo on the protesters? No, it does not!
12. NOT Israel but the PNA support the regime!
Sergio   (02.06.11)
Mubarak has always been very hostile to Israel. He always refused to even visit in spite of many invitations. He refused when he went to Israel for Rabin's funeral to even visit Yad Vashem. HE had MANY Israelis, Arabs and Jews, imprisoned even for years under false accusations of spying (see Azzam Azzam)... ON THE OTHER HAND, the PNA organized demonstrations in support of Mubarak in Ramallah...and in Gaza journalists have been muzzled and coverage of the Egyptian demonstrations limited to almost nothing.

Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (02.06.11)
Israel does not shoot its civilians, its shoots people who attempt harm them in self defence. Israel are not cold blooded killers we don’t hang people in the streets because of something there are or believe in
14. #1 Salma, for once we agree
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.06.11)
It's real scary; they're copying the methods that were used in Iran to suppress the demonstrations of just two years ago Or what King Hussein did during Black September, when he killed thousands of Palestinian's that were engaged in rebellion against his crown Rather reminiscent isn't it ?
15. It's clearcut
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.06.11)
SUICIDE BY COP
16. Reply to Salma of Palestine
peter42y ,   lisbon,portugal   (02.07.11)
Salma of Palestine claims friends learn from each other, in other words, the criminal behaviour of the egyptian police was learned from Israel. Really ? And did you forgot Neda, the Iranian girl shot dead by the Iranian regime ? Is the mullah regime also a friend of Israel ? Did the Iranian Regime learn its murderous ways through Israel ? Arab Muslims hate Israel. If there is something wrong under the sun..,the culprit is easy to find : The Zionist Regime . Come on. Do not blame Israel for the behaviour of the Egyptian police. I understand that palestinians do not like Israelis . That is understandable. But do not blame Israel for every evil that exists in this world.
17. An Everyday Occurrence in Occupied Palestine

18. Definitely a Gunshot
Ryan ,   Omaha, NE, USA   (02.08.11)
If you listen closely you can hear the very distinct sound of a gun being fired from a distance. The fact that that sound occurs right before he drops to the grop is mighty suspicious...
