31. To Jehuda
Luiz Felipe Haddad ,   Brazil   (04.24.11)
My brother, there are many people, around the world, like me in South America, that understand and support Israel. You are not alone. Your State is too important for the real Democrats and true Christians. The David's Star will bright forever.
32. it was not simple act
observer ,   Egypt   (04.24.11)
they entered without permits, acted suspiciously during exit and broke through the checkpoint. Settlers aren't above the law.
33. What did they expect?
Simon ,   Modiin   (04.24.11)
The same unfortunate situation would happen to a Palestinian that illegally entered Israel to go and pray at a tomb and then ignored an Israeli police checkpoint. This group of Jews decided to go it alone to rebel against authority and now suffer the ultimate repercussions.
34. Let obumma, bibi and barak share the blame.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (04.24.11)
35. 3 8
Shalom ,   U.S.A.   (04.24.11)
I agree, this might be the beginning of a bloody terror campaign, especially if Barak and his generals remain co mplacent, which is very likely.
36. to number 7 and 15
Barney ,   USA   (04.24.11)
there are no settlers in Israel only Jews living in the promised land. If they are armed it is to protect themselves against the uncivilized usurpers. Number 15 stay off the pipe.
37. # 26
Birdi ,   Israel   (04.24.11)
Wrong, they didnt break through the checkpoint. Their car CRASHED into the checkpoint. Instead of aiming & shooting straight through the winshield of the car, the pallie police could have shot at the tyres of the car-to stop the car. This was senseless murder.
38. Dream on Cal of Los Angeles
24.04.2011   (04.24.11)
And by the way... What hope does an arab have in America. Your answer would be most interesting. One thing is certain, love for you as an arab will NEVER happen except from another of your kind.
39. Stop the hate
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (04.24.11)
Please don´t do that. Don´t turn this tragedy caused by a mad man into an Arabs hate Jews issue. There are crazy people in both sides. The crazy thing though is, if you turn to the Holy Scripts, that Jews and Arabs are cousins. How sick is that?
40. #12 "Jewish holy place"
David   (04.24.11)
surely only idolators have "holy places" and "holy rocks" and "holy trees" and suchlike. The whole point of Judaism is that "other gods" and "craven images" and "holy places" are anathema.
41. if it not
das ,   israel   (04.24.11)
be a relaitve of limor livnat no one would say anything...........
42. Palestinian state ?
M ,   EU   (04.24.11)
no state can be established on such a bloody foundations.
43. Murdered for being Palestinian
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (04.24.11)
It happens everyday !
44. What threat was there
Harvey ,   London   (04.24.11)
The question that will be asked is whether the chassids presented a clear and apparent life threatening action directed at the pa police man or those in the immediate vicinity . This would obviously include the leveling of firearms so as to give the pa guy good reason to believe his life was in immediate danger If as I suspect , the chassidim presented no such threat or anything that could be construed as a threat then this is plainly and simply a terrorist act and culpable murder .
45. Bad things may happen at checkpoints
(04.24.11)
I thought you already got used to it, after so many years.
46. # 13
Thomas ,   US   (04.24.11)
In another article, the gentleman who coordinates these visits to the holy sites says that people regularly visit Joseph's tomb without incident. Doesn't that give credence to the the Arab account that they were throwing rocks at these police officers?
47. #15; Dave, What the heck are you...
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (04.24.11)
Talking about? Where does your bizarre post come from? All peoples who lived in that region thousands of years ago were dark complected. So what? That doesn't mean that were black people in the way you use the term. That would be like saying the black people living in the USA today, who are descended from slavery (here in the USA), had an Egyptian heritage. They didn't. But why do you sound like such a racist? Get that chip off your shoulder.
48. what part of ''no traspassing ''do you not understand
abdalla   (04.24.11)
49. #48
Jane   (04.25.11)
What part of our holy site do YOU not understand? You are an evil, selfish people. G-d sees everything you do. Perhaps that is why you still do not have the state granted you in 1947. He saw how little we were satisfied wiith and He saw that you wanted everything and were incapable of sharing.
50. Jewish terrorism
JohnC ,   Auckland, New Zealan   (04.25.11)
This man was not killed "presumably" by PA policemen. You know full well he was killed by a terrorist. Though it makes little difference to you people, as you regard all Palestinians as terrorists. This is really ironic when it was Jews who invented modern terrorism, and are still experts at it.
51. idf child killers
BILL ,   can   (04.25.11)
simply for being an idf child killer ban idf travel BDS
52. This is OUR forefather, Yosef, not Muslim. 2000 yrs before
Jordan ,   Is, Palestine   (04.25.11)
mohamed married his 9 year old wife "the best",........We were carrying Yosef's bones back to OUR homeland. Go back to Arabia, and stop occupying the black african people, the berbers, the moors, the copts, the kurds, the assyrians, the Jews. Those that wont live in peace with us, get out- our history and identity here is in the rocks and the trees. Most of your arab village names are actually Hebrew names before you arabs occupied our land and built on top of our holiest site. it is your culture which is pathologically intolerant. look to your own mothers and sisters and daughters who are knifed for having their own opinions among the male family members. Jordan is Palestine.
53. To the smug 17 year old brother in the article:
Soapboxer ,   Globe   (04.25.11)
Be grateful you werent injured or murdered like your brother's friends, and stop justifying the allah akhbar shouts of the PA "policve" as they aimed their US equipped machine guns at the unarmed religious Jews trying to pray. You come across as blaming those praying for being murdered in cold blood. That is pathologically wrong on so many levels. brother, friend, Jew, innocent, praying, need I say more?
54. hey#19 palestine ment to be home for jews
petro ,   il   (04.25.11)
not for illegal arab settlers!
55. This is part of us jews. It will all cease
Israeli 2   (04.25.11)
once Messiah arrives....oh yeah...even before...because I advocate the overthrow of the Israeli Knesset and its corrupted politicians. This is the core ofthe problem. Chilul Hashem veTorato.
56. the patience and faith of Joseph
Ovadyah ,   Hales   (04.25.11)
let us not forget it was by patience and faith that Joseph lived. He trusted Gods Word implicitly.he also went thru some very difficult events before God allowed him to assume a position of Power. He also trusted God to see that his bones would be buried in the promised land. and in Gods timing josephs bones were brought to the current location. Joseph should be our example ....in Gods Timing josephs tomb will be come available to whoever wants to visit without restrictions or permits...but it must be G-ds timing. Be Patient follow the current ground rules.
57. #15
Jane   (04.25.11)
What the f--- are you talking about? Wait until after rehab before posting again.
58. #17 Tom
Jane   (04.25.11)
Ah, Tom, I wish it were so. I really do. But the world continues to stand idly by the spilling of Jewish blood as has historically been the case. Not to mention those many of the world who incite the spilling of Jewish blood explicitly or implicitly. May G-d bless you for your understanding and for not being amongst those who wish us ill.
59. #26
Jane   (04.25.11)
Perhaps detention would have been more appropriate, don't you think Paula? Shoot to kill seems a disproportionate response. You know what a disproportionate response is, don't you Paula? It's what you always accuse us of, even if we're simply trying to defend ourselves. And please, stop using "settler" as though the world somehow makes a Jew less human.
60. Livnat's Hire a USA Attorney
Yisroel ,   USA   (04.25.11)
These so called palestinian policemen were trained by USA General Dayton. He should be sued for training the palestinian thugs. In Israel the government should be sued for arming them.
