1. Itamar Terrorists
Gary Glaser ,   Hutchinson, MN, USA   (03.14.11)
Isn't saying the Itamar victims braught on their own murder the same thing as saying that a victim of domestic violence brought on her own beating.
2. A different media..
Gossipy247 ,   Israel   (03.14.11)
I think we should show more media coverage of the Arab and Jewish population that work together ( ex in business, agriculture, sport etc) Instead of showing the media what the Arabs did to the jew and what the jew did to the arabs. Show the good side!
3. The left wing with the Arabs cut down the trees
Joel Susser   (03.14.11)
Read the article, which shows how the left lies. http://elderofziyon.blogspot.com/2010/10/left-wing-activists-caught-cutting-down.html Left wing activists caught cutting down Arab olive trees
4. I AM REALLY AFRAID
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (03.14.11)
What happened in Itamar was horrible, but the reacton of international midia was even worse. They don't care with us. Neither the goym, neither the Israeli Government. They put us there in Samaria and Judea like a bunch of lamb surronded by wooves. Just that. I am really scared. I am considering seriously coming back to Green Line.
5. I am moving to Itamar, because peace now nudnik imposter #4
Yaron ,   soon Itamar   (03.14.11)
would love it to happen. Dude your fabrications are so old. Are you 23, playing video games in your parents basement? Get a life.
6. Poor settlers
Samer ,   Ramallah   (03.14.11)
Probably, they should investigate the execution of two Palestinian youth near Itmar’s checkpoint before a couple of months
7. Life in a bubble or Zionist egocentrism
Miki ,   Australia   (03.14.11)
Seriously you people need to stop living in a bubble. Yes, the murders in itamar were horrendous and horrible but to believe that they are somehow more deserving of media coverage than the fact that almost 200 people have been killed (and the number will most likely grow) in Japan as a result of the Tsnuami, is just egocentric and disgusting. The same goes for Libya, there is a revolution going on there, where hundreds have died. Just because the world media does not lead with Itamar does NOT mean that they hate Jews. For goodness sake grow up and stop living in a bubble! A human life is a human life and all are valuable, not just Jewish lives.
8. LA Times
elhrac ,   USA   (03.14.11)
The LA Times is one of the most viciously anti-Israel publications in the US. They are extreme progressive Obama supporters.
9. # 4 Dick Mak- u are from nowhere
Iris ,   USA   (03.14.11)
10. David will eventually triumph over Goliath : )
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.14.11)
11. COULD THE EVIL ONE SAY -
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (03.14.11)
American bloggers tour site of Itamar terror attack. 'Reports imply Jews instigated own killing,' one says. -THE JEWS COMITTED SUICIDE ? THE WORLD ARE SICK TO ITS CORE, AND ISRAEL OUGHT NOT TO SEEK ANYTHING FROM ABROAD EXEPT FOR, THE HOMECOMERS AND THE HOMECOMING THERE. Orao.Srbia.
12. # 7 Jews are chosen people and not same as others ..
get a life   (03.14.11)
13. PLEASE, YARON, DONT GO TO ITAMAR
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (03.14.11)
Please, matok, dont do this. They are killing people here now. If you live within the Green Line, stay there. Here is wild. They kill children. We are scared to death here. If the Government gave me means, I would move back to Israel immediately. Here is not fun. Believe me. Yaron, cuzao, dont make things more complicated.
14. @7 that is not the problem
Suzanne   (03.14.11)
I noticed that besides the news covering of Japan and Libya, there was silence on this murder until there was an announcement by Israel that building houses was permitted. In other words: in many media outlets its worse to build houses, than to kill a family among which 3 children. And that is despicable.
15. #14 Suzanne
(03.14.11)
I followed the websites of the BBC, the NYT, the Guardian and Fox News over the last few days. All sites had a homepage story about the murders. After a day or so the murder story was added to or replaced by a story about settlement building. But neither story, the murders nor the building , got into the list of top ten most-read stories. Here is what people were reading:: On Fox News, people were reading about the USA , celebs gossip and how to lose weight. On the Guardian people were reading about Japan and football results. On the BBC about Japan. Libya no fly zone, a NYC bus crash and German anti-nuclear protests.
16. To hell with these dreck...throw them out and stop
Al   (03.14.11)
pandering to the foreign media...do what has to be done and throw them out. Include CNN as well. Your PM thinks that running a country is a 15 sec sound bite. Thats how it looks like, and thats how you look. You look like a bunch of whiny wimpy losers. The arabs kill you like rats, they dance in the streets and you provide them with food and electricity. They steal from you 24/7 and they laugh in your face while facing your judges and other blowhearts. Get rid of the arabs and all usurpers. Clean you own toilets and care for your own elders and children. Rid yourselves of the illegals. They are illegals and they dont deserve to be there. No planning no thinking. Take back your country and be proud Jews instead of a bunch of losers. Keep on going as your going and you will end up dead and no one will give a damn. As a matter of fact they will blame you for your own murder.
17. Life in a Bubble
Jerry ,   USA   (03.14.11)
Miki wrote, "Just because the world media does not lead with Itamar does NOT mean that they hate Jews." I will presume your goodwill, which is probably naive on my part. CNN, AP, BBC, and Reuters covered the murders at Itamar, some without mentioning children as victims, all without mentioning the names of the victim, each "balancing" the act with a condemnation of the settler enterprise, none with the designation of "terrorism." Now we have a flood of condemnations of Israel for authorizing 400 housing units within the major towns of Judea and Samaria, to which the Jews have a superior legal claim. It is not, as you say, that the murders of children did not make the front pages. It is that Israel can do nothing right - even dying, even children dying. My guess is that you have never visited Israel or that you are a hard-left Marxist. The people who died were wonderful examples of humanity who never hurt anyone or had intentions of hurting anyone. They deserved better. They deserved continued life. If purposeful infant slaughter can be mitigated at the moment of first report, then what is left of journalistic values? Look into your heart. If a deranged Jew had done this act to Arab children and infants, would you have written the same letter?
18. and women who are beaten by their husbands only got.........
Esther ,   USA   (03.14.11)
what they deserved. So says the blame the victim, not the EVILDOER mentality. Pure ignorance, anti-semitism, mesogenists and Jew haters.
19. Salma is right!!! Salma, you are brilliant!!!
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (03.14.11)
There are about 7.5 million people in Israel. There are about 356 million people living in 20 Arab countries, of whom 285 million are Arabs. You're absolutely right, Salma. The Jewish David will indeed triumph over the Arab Goliath. What's that?... Oh, really?... Sorry, Salma, I got the timing mixed up. David has already triumphed over Goliath many times. In fact, just yesterday Goliath was trying to get a 3rd intifada started via Facebook, so that David can defeat him yet again. Salma - aren't you tired of all these wars that you keep losing? Wny not just push your leaders to go back to the peace talks already?
20. #19, #6
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.14.11)
It is nice that Salma is happy that the Jew Daoud will defeat the foreign Philistine invader Goliath. #6: It did not happen. Instead of making false accusations, give their names and the date.
21. no 10 David will eventually triumph over Goliath
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (03.14.11)
Well done Salma, you have started to recognise Jewish history & Bible.Now you should recognise Israel belong to the JEWS.You cannot recognise part of the truth.
22. @19 Brian Cohen , don't twist it !
Salma ,   Palestine   (03.14.11)
Goliath and not David who was armed to the teeth. "Israel" and not the Palestinians is armed to the teeth. can you get it now who is Goliath and who is David ? If you can't , phone-A-friend......it's the million dollar question ; )
23. PM Mr. Netanyahu's government is weak....
Amanda ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.11)
He is relying on graphic photographs of murdered children to keep all of us afraid and keep all of us voting for him! This is not about bereavement this is about the pornography of bereavement! And it is disgusting!
24. #4 Nice try IMPOSTOR!
(03.14.11)
25. #14 Please matok - we KNOW you are an impostor!
(03.14.11)
26. THAT'S WHY ISRAEL IS LOSING
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.14.11)
The PR war with the Arabs!! The old adage "a picture is worth a thousand words" is in fact true. While the Arabs take it to immoral standards by playing video's and showing photo's without the proper context. They crop photo's, photo shop them all kinds of immoral and unethical use. But it's been working. All Israel has to do is print the truth using the morals and ethics the Arabs lack. People need to see the savage hatred that the Arabs have for Jewish people and you can't convey that with just words, you need pictures. That is the world we live in. If it bleeds it leads mentality, that's the news. Better wake up folks.
27. #10 Salma, David was a Jew. What are you insinuating??
(03.14.11)
28. What happened in Itamar is criminal...
Marco ,   Spain   (03.14.11)
Same as what happened in Kana... Why do you people tend to have selective memories? Believe it or not, Arab blood is as red as Jewish blood....
29. #22 SALMA RIGHT AGAIN. ISRAEL HAS GD
......DACON9   (03.14.11)
you have horses and chariots... ISRAEL ALWAYS HAS GD AND THIS IS WHY ISRAEL SURVIVES ALL YOUR WARS.. ....until you final end !
30. Itamar
Shifra ,   Melbourne Australia   (03.14.11)
#7 Miki from Australia. Clearly, you do not have a grasp of the situation in Israel. The difference between the murders in Itamar and those in other parts of the world is that in, e.g. melbourne, we don't blame the victims. We don't cut the throats of 4 month old babies because they are Jews. Educate yourself because you are embarassing Australia.
