1. ... slams Norway for awarding Arafat the Nobel Peace Prize
Orly ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.11)
... And Israel seems to do no better. There is not a street in Israel named after this great luminarious peace broker who martyred his hard-core values in the name of peace with our nation. Not a street, not a bench, not even a tree. How exactly do the views of this activist towards Arafat differ from the State of Israel's?
2. a sympathetic young man
Flesh   (07.24.11)
that stand for its ideas.
3. There is much more to this story.
Israeli 2   (07.24.11)
He was paid many millions by those Muslim organizations who claimed responsibility for the attack. So, Yes he is Norwegian...but for a certain some of money he becomes a terrorist for hire. SIMPLE...No?
4. To #1

5. #1 Your right
Thinking Jew ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
We should put Arafat's name on all port-o-poddies from now on! He was a butcher and terrorist, NOTHING more.
6. it makes him as barbaric as the jihadist he hates!!!
Ariel ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
if he don't agry with islam he should stand in the light and be even more human, and good person. he's deplorable!!!
7. 'atrocious but necessary' ?!?!?!?!
Talula ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
What was necessary in killing 80+ teenagers? What has he actually achieved apart from being caught and will probably spend the rest of his life being beaten up in his prison cell. Only violent sick and demented people make out they are extremists - they use it as a cover to commit murder and other vile atrocities. Hamas and other Arab extremists among them.
8. It's just so unbelievable. I fell like eventhough they ..
Michael ,   Eilat, Israel.   (07.24.11)

9. My heart goes out to the country of Norway.
Shira Ben Ari ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
This is a tragedy and a shock for a peace-lovi­ng people (and Araft, the cusine of the nazi mufti of jerusalem Al -Huseini, wasn't one of them). I don't care if they hate my. I wish them all the best and speedy recovery to all the survivers. my the 91 people he killed rest in peace.
10. Their Baruch Goldstein/Yigal Amir combo.
Daniel ,   Israel   (07.24.11)

Flesh   (07.24.11)
Don't worry your ' friends" from Hamas, Iran, Syria, hezbollah will be on you soon. Perhaps that will give you the needed shrink to understand. Open your mind before it is too late boy !
13. LIES!!...He was not a Right Winger!
JayJay ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
He used to be a member of the Progress party there, which is a faction of the Left! The leftist media really is putting a spin on this one!
14. Each stick has two ends
Mania ,   Canada   (07.24.11)
The English-language manifesto and video, allegedly posted by the gunman on internet, are way too well done for one 32-year old farmer. In addition, there are many inconsistencies in the reports, for example, that he was a freemason and a Christian fundamentalist. The whole story looks like more than is being reported. Both the manifesto and the video are openly anti-Muslim and pro-European, with a clear potential to antagonize ethnic Europeans against Muslim immigrants in particular and Muslims, in general. Taking under consideration the well known Norwegian support for Palestinian stathood, this whole story may radicalize Norwegian (and European) society, forcing the governments to reverse their position on Palestinian stathood at the UN General Assembly, in September. This is one explanation that makes sense to me - things like that don't happen without a reason. And the timing is perfect.
15. @1 - my Dog arafat
Zfoni ,   Tel aviv   (07.24.11)
My poor gay dog is called Arafat
16. Did you know ...
Paul ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.11)
When Norway overcomes it long history of succumbing to Jew-hatred, supporting the Nazi regimes of the past and those of our century, and feels a Jew's pain ... Jews will cry for Norway's pain. FOREIGN MINISTER OF NORWAY said: "We no longer recognize the State of Israel. We could not recognize the apartheid regime of South Africa, nor did we recognize the Afghani Taliban regime. Then there were many who did not recognize Saddam Hussein’s Iraq or the Serbs’ ethnic cleansing. We need to get used to the idea: The State of Israel, in its current form, is history.The State of Israel has raped the recognition of the world and shall have no peace until it lays down its arms."... : Well I don't recognize Norway, it belongs to Sweden and Sweden is owned by Saudi Arabia.
17. blame for the deaths...
anon ,   Johannesburg   (07.24.11)
I blame this crazy fanatical man for the deaths of the Norwegian victims. However, I also blame the appeasement government policy, appeasement to Arab propaganda against Israel & Jews. This blind hate by the Norwegian people towards Israel has now led to a rift in their own community. Government policy & bind hate - which goes against Christian belief, has caused this rift and now this devastation... The government in Norway should take responsibility for their failure along side this crazy evil man who committed this... Condolences to Norway - may you never see such sorrow again... May you change you Blind hate towards Israel, for Israel seeks peace while Palestinians seek war an violence, much like this new blond blue eyed Norwegian terrorist.
18. I prayr for Norway.
Sharon ,   Ashdod. Israel   (07.24.11)
this inhuman killer has acted just like the jihadist he hates!!!
19. Fanaticism has no nationality
Borislava ,   Sofia, Bulgaria   (07.24.11)
Whatever we discuss, the fact is a fact. Religions and their derivatives political trends continue to lead people by the nose today. In every society and every ethnicity and religion have crazy radicals ready to do terrible things. But I believe that they are a small minority who can not change the chosen route of their respective societies. We can only pray for the innocent victims .... and hope not end up on the "wrong place in wrong time" when and where a fanatical idiot decided to fly the bloody flag of his Pyrrhic victory!
20. @13
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (07.24.11)
JayJay, if you think the Progress party is a faction of the left in Norway, you no nothing. "Fremskidtspartiet" is another of the anti-immigration, nationalist parties that has become a part of European political culture. To call them left wing is absurd - to call them right wing - well, let's say that many decent conservative friends of mine would quail at the thought of being associated with them ('skin heads in an ill-fitting suit')
21. people instead of boycotting and rewarding killers
George ,   ISRAEL   (07.24.11)
GIVE PEACE ACHANCE!!! instead of blaming one side make the 2 sides sit together and compromise!!!! this will be more helpful than boycotting israel like the nazis did to the jews in 1933 (from the same reasons! you can find it on line..) speedy recovery to all woundeds and may the camp kids find true peace.
22. #1
berel ,   Yehud Israel   (07.24.11)
If you think Israel is so bad then by all means move to Egypt or Syria. See how many streets there are even safe for you to walk down. If you don't that at least stop embarrassing yourself by publicizing your masochistic complexes for the whole world to see. I'm guessing we have your father to thank for this.
23. today more than ever we LOVE all human beings!.
Isacc ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
24. its not a question of right or left
he's a criminal ,   Israel   (07.24.11)
he killed MANY people- is there Death punishment? The guy is a clown! He wouldnt be a voice not for the right and not for the left He is a maniac
25. a freemason and a Christian fundamentalist
Moshe ,   Netanya   (07.24.11)
Is this a joke? He was simply an ANARCHIST. And Anarchists love to do things like this. It like saying that the woman who shot Lenin in 1923? was a right-winger or capitalist(she was from almost the same communist party). Or hamas wanted to to Kill Dahlan because he was Zionist--joke.
26. what a bunch of crap
lior ,   Danmark   (07.27.11)
I'm sure he got help from Swedish fascist groups new neo nazists in the social democrate party and the green party too and from islamic brotherhood, Im sure of that , is it strange he would do so?
