1. This is a deliberate PA agression
Frank ,   Canada   (04.24.11)
2. he was murdered for being an unclever Jew!
Yehuda ,   Israeli   (04.24.11)
Had he gotten the correct permit and notified the IDF his back would have been covered. And it would have been about "Kol Israel Aravim Ze leZe" instead he was cocky and look how it ended. Very sad indeed!
3. This is maddening!
David ,   Des Moines, USA   (04.24.11)
4. remember, they are our peace partner
Ehud Barak ,   occupied Al-Quds   (04.24.11)
so keep your cool, if they want to act out, it's because they are so oppressed. i may decide to bomb an empty cave in revenge, but not now, i'm busy planning the rest of my political career.
5. First, they butcher a family in Itamar, then they fire at a
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.24.11)
school bus in Sa'ad, then the murder a young Jew in Sh'khem. This is the face of "moderate" Arabs eager to set up an independent state, from which, according to all indications, they intend to continue their "straggle": to wipe Israel off the face of earth and with it erase any trace of Jewish existence in it. And the world, as in the past, is standing by and clapping hands to the murderers...!! Never again!!
6. Jordan is Palestine!
Annie   (04.24.11)
7. just for being jews
M.Lith ,   The Netherlands   (04.24.11)
or just for being armed settlers
8. Believe it or not, the 3rd intifada has started
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.24.11)
Don't take unnecessary risks guys.
9. Human rights atrocity in the west bank - where is B'Tselem
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.24.11)
More proof that B'Tselem is not a human rights group, but rather an anti-Israeli activism association. Shame on people who donate money to B'Tselem and pretend they support human rights.
10. It's a hideous crime.
Yakov   (04.24.11)
11. Very Sad ,but Bibi and Barak's fault
RayS ,   USA   (04.24.11)
When a nation is made to look weak and without character, the evil ones will take advantage. Currently, under Bibi & Barak, Israel can be bombarded with missiles, have its citisens murdered while sleeping peacefully or praying at a holy place, and the perpertrators will be treated as heroes by the Palestinians (who Bibi is willing to support as a "State".
12. Murdered for being a Jew
NIli   (04.24.11)
They were praying at a Jewish Holy place. Permit or not, is that any reason to gun them down?
13. to enter the tomb without the rabbi or a permit
jerry   (04.24.11)
this talk must not justify the crime against unarmed hasidim
14. When will we wake up?
Dan ,   Florida, USA   (04.24.11)
Joseph's Tomb and the entire West Bank and Jerusalem are sovereign Israeli land. The Palestinians have no business being there. How many Jews must die before we wake up? Must we wait for the Palestinians to put us in ovens again before we wake up?
15. why so much love for the dead
Dave ,   U.S.   (04.24.11)
I'm really trying to understand this love and obsession for Joseph a black man in true history by these white fanatical Jews but in real life, these Hassids hate and revile black people in real life?
16. Insanely evil, the murderers walk free, victims arrested
adam eliyahu   (04.24.11)
17. Te Brian at no nine
tom ,   watching   (04.24.11)
The world is watching. I no longer donate to the red cross as they will not insist on seeing Schalit. I will not donate for aid in any muslim country. I will not give to any charity that supports ISM. The world is watching and it is not happy.
18. MY HOUSe was set on fire for being A JEW
benjamin ,   singapore   (04.24.11)
In Malaysia. In singapore, they took my torah, my prayer shawl. my jewish calender and returm them back to me later after 1 year, with the arafat shawl. ALL BECAUSE I AM A JEW. The whole matter been closed down. I have been crying silently all these years. benjamin singapore
19. Hey Annie, Jordan is indeed Palestine and so is Israel......
Cal ,   Los Angeles   (04.24.11)
Long live a united Palestine encompassing all of Jordan and Israel under majority rule.
20. Who voted Ehud Barak as PM? It is this that
BJL ,   usa   (04.24.11)
Started the madness. In September 2000, at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada, the tomb was the scene of another battle in which 18 Palestinians were killed. Israel Border Police Corporal Madhat Yusuf, a Druze from Beit Jann, was hit in the neck by gunfire. Palestinian security forces prevented his medical evacuation. The IDF warned that it would enter the city and reach Yusuf by force, but a planned rescue operation was called off by Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz. By the time the IDF reached him after five hours, Yusuf was dead. Israel then abandoned and sold our brother Yosef again.
21. Descendants of Jacob shouldn't need a permit...
Annmarie ,   USA   (04.24.11)
to enter Joseph's Tomb. Joseph was an Israelite, not an Ishmaelite. The Ishmaelites can partake of G-d's promise to the Jew first and also the Gentile. But only IF they recognize the Messiah of the Israelites. And, IMO, only if they stop cursing the Israelites. This constant cursing of the Israelites by the Ishmaelites MUST stop!! Come Moshiach come!!!
22. To: No. 15
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.24.11)
Why don't you look up the murder of Yossele Rosenblatt in Crown Heights? Perhaps there's a reason not to love one's fellow man.
23. MY HOUSe was set on fire for being A JEW
Ken ,   Malaysia   (04.24.11)
I thought Singapore is quite tolerant for Jews unlike where I come from. This is something new !
24. to nr. 6.
supra-nationalist ,   world/planet earth   (04.24.11)
zionists and their zionist state/entity move/emigrate/make alyah to the moon! do not only look to other peoples, but also look to yourselves, to your own entity and to your own people. as long as you say that palestine is jordan/jordan is palestine, you can expect reactions from people who donot agree and can say: emigrate yourselves. and what do you think to accomplish and what can be accomplished/realized?
25. to nr. 19.
supra-nationalist ,   world/planet earth   (04.24.11)
well said. free settlement for everyone in palestine of almost 100000 km2 in a democratic constitutional state. jews can freely settle in amman, akaba etc. palestinians and other arabs can settle in jerusalem, tel aviv, haifa etc. it is up to those people/peoples to decide this, their self-determination and about their future.
26. At Israeli checkpoint ....
Paula ,   Spain   (04.24.11)
Settlers entered the West Bank compound of Joseph's Tomb without permission and then tried to break through a local checkpoint.
27. Settlers should not enter the West Bank without permit
Dan ,   Israel   (04.24.11)
28. forgive us our trespasses
Sarah   (04.24.11)
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
29. Settlers are not above the law!
Israeli   (04.24.11)
Why does the Governement, Barak included, let settlers think they're above the law? No Israeli citizen in his right mind would enter Area A without consulting first with the IDF! These settlers were foolish enough to think they could dissrespect the law - that is the core problem.
30. They ignored a check point and armed
Basil ,   Morgantown, USA   (04.24.11)
As far as I understand, there was a check point, they refused to stop when the PA told them they had no authorization to be there. Next, they showed they had weapons. The PA fired in the air. The rest is history. Did they ignore the check point because the check point was Palestinian? That should be the question. People need to follow the law.
