4. do they regret Israeli deaths?
rachel ,   usa   (08.20.11)
5. What next an apology to Nazi Germany
Dan Kelso   (08.20.11)
All these Israeli leaders are cowards. They cave to Islamic terrorists. The terrorists attacked Israel from Egypt. All Israel did was respond to the terrorists and kill them. Now Israel is apologizing for defending itself. These Israeli leaders have no spine. This is the main reason they wanted Kahane barred in 88. Go to JTF.org and read about Chaim Ben Pesach. This is how Israel needs as its PM.

12. Bring back Mubarak
Maksim ,   Brooklyn, NY   (08.20.11)
This Egyptian "revolution" is nothing but a power grab by salafist and Islamic brotherhood goons to create another Iran. They are rapists, not revolutionaries.
13. WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS?????????
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.20.11)
What are the options in this incident. 1) The Pals shot and killed the Egyptian soldiers while fleeing from the IDF after killing innocent civilians on a passenger bus. 2) The Egyptians were killed by the Pals, who had set IED's or mines to cover their escape. As was reported. 3) That the IDF shot and killed the Egyptians because they were in fact helping the terrorists. 4) The Egyptians were killed by the IDF in a Friendly fire incident which happens in all wars. 5) The IDF killed the Egyptians just for the heck of it, out of malice or hate. Now if I've left anything out any possibility please let me know. 4 out of those 5 scenario's means the Pals were directly responsible. One would be an accident., or, there is a 20% chance that is (1 out of the 5 possibilities) it was purely intentional. Israel has no history of killing people for amusement, unlike Hamas, who we all have seen throwing their own people off rooftops. So what's more likely? That Israel did it, or the Pals did it.? Clearly the likelihood is the Pals killed the Egyptians in cold blood. CASE CLOSED
14. #3 Selma hahahahahaha
Maxime ,   ISRAE / USA   (08.20.11)
You lady have a bad case of halitosis. When you speak of cowards, you are perfectly describing the Arab nature.
15. strategy is one thing
alexi   (08.20.11)
israelis die from hamas alquaeda operatives crossing from egypt's sinai. Idf gives chase while operatives flee back to sinai hiding behind egyptian soldiers. IDf fires and hits terrorists. Who knows what happened. But israel has to be able to defend itself. Barak wanted toapologize to turkey but was blocked by leiberman fortuanately. he now apologized to egypt without all the facts. This is hard to take. Yes, the sinai treaty with egypt is important both ways. But egypt knows barak runs scared while bibi is uncertain. So they will load the sinai with 75000 troops in the next while. Then a pretext will be found to ask israel to make concessions which barak wo9uld agree to. if you look at barak's record in fighting terror on the west bank, it was pitiful. Likewise his handling of the marmora was pathetic. I would have yaalon replace him immediately. I would get the idf ready to retake philadelphi and to modify camp david agreement for hot pursuit. In the meantime, prepare the country's civil population for all out war with everyone. Instead you have this olmert dfence minister who runs scared. He bloody well runs scared and the arabs seize on it. Now you know why 6 million jews died inthe holocaust. The arabs would have fought tooth and nail against the nazis. Instead the jews were subservient, and apologized like barak hoping to be spared. He is pathetic.
16. to salma
LK ,   USA   (08.20.11)
Salma, did you actually read what Barak said? He regretted the "death of Egyptian police officers during the terror attack at the border". Now tell me who is a coward?
17. Ehud Barak sucks.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.20.11)
We should ascertain the exact circumstances of the Egyptian casualties BUT NO APOLOGY. Ths fool still thinks there's a peace treaty? He thinks we can mend relations with Turkey, too. Our Defense Minister is a wimp, out-of-touch, a man who has no judgement. His whole career has been a series of blunders. Here he goes again, shooting off his mouth, advertising weakness. Why, oh why do we have such crap politicians? What is wrong with us to tolerate such a collection of idiots?
18. #4, rachel... yes, egypt immediately condemned the attack...
eporue ,   europe   (08.20.11)
and regretted the deaths... rachel, your IDF failed to secure your border, what caused terrorists to infiltrate israel... has the IDF and barak already apologized to you for their failure ?
19. are you kidding with us !! ?
Mahmoud Ouda ,   Egypt   (08.20.11)
there is a big different between " regrets " and " apologize " don't be smart with the Egyptian Greatness
20. Syria
Baruch ,   Marin County, CA   (08.20.11)
It never ceases to amaze me that in Syria, a bloodbath has been taking place and nobody in the so-called Arab world gave a rat's be-hind about it. Suddenly, Israel defends its internationally-recognized border with Egypt, and you would think the whole world was going to explode. In order to understand this type of logic, one must either be insane, a fool, or just plain ignorant. Call me all three, but the truth is the truth.
21. Washington recommended we apologize.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.20.11)
And, of course, we listened. You see, being Defense Minister is Ehud Barak's part-time job. His full-time job is as a stooge for Obama. Tzippi Livni is the co-stooge, she's the assistant stooge. As if the recall of the Egyptian ambassador was so important. Barak should be apologizing to us, the people of Israel, for the lack of preparedness in anticipating trouble from the Sinai. The Egyptians are looking for a pretext to renege on the treaty. If it's not one pretext, it will be another. Why is the pretext necessary, you ask? Why, to make sure America keeps giving them money, of course. And you know, you just know, Obama will show great understanding .......
22. your regret is not enough
Ahmed ,   Egypt   (08.20.11)
your regret is not enough, you should know that 85 millions here are ready to defend our borders, and eat you if needed
23. Who killed Egyptian troops?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.20.11)
the official Egypt's story is that apache helicopter followed them and shot them dead when they tried to take refuge in their outpost in Egyptian Rafah. Israel has to prove that the apache helicopter was neithr Israeli nor Egyptian.
24. As usual Selma
Jeff ,   USA   (08.20.11)
As a Pal you just dont get it and shoot yourself in the foot every time.There will NEVER be a Pal state...Def Not now.EVER.Us Americans have a word for you....VETO
25. Brave Palestinians like Salma
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (08.20.11)
Thanks Allah for the brave Palestinians like Salma who courageously attacked the occupation zionist targets and killed 8 zionist enemy soldiers. Salma knows that all zionists are soldiers, and all Palestinians know that all zionists are legitimate military targets as defined by official Fatah and Hamas policies. Therefore, it is not important at all to any Palestinian - especially Salma - that the terrorists shot and killed unarmed civilians and narrowly missed murdering a car full of little zionist children. Hahahahaha is all Salma has to say, because the Palestinian goal is to liberate all of occupied Palestine - meaning Salma says there is no Israel, there are no Israeli civilians, and any zionist can be legitimately killed. That's what we're dealing with, folks. Get it through your heads how sick and depraved the Palestinians are, and how much they want to join the UN and make killing Jews 100% halal.
26. #19 Did Egypt Apologize?
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.20.11)
For being negligent in preventing terrorists from entering Israel to murder Israelis? Get off your high horse. The "Egyptian Greatness" failed. It's in Egypt's best interest to work with Israel to stop these terror attacks and clean-up the Sinai.
27. #22 Ahmed, Egypt.
Terry ,   Eilat - Israel   (08.20.11)
Considering the financial condition of your country & the fact that you have no money to import food (you import at least 50% of your food), you will soon be eating each other, not us.
28. Israeli-Egyptian Border Clash
Douglas Pepper Lang ,   New York City USA   (08.20.11)
This is a strange site. Not really news, but an apologist for the IDF? Jews in Diaspora take exception to everything Palestinian or Egyptian to be the "Enemy". The Land of Paranoia in which you dwell leaves no room for rational thought, less likely compromise positions. Did you think intransigence was a noble goal? Grow up. There is never a "Case Closed" (ALL CAPS? you think this makes it so or makes you look like a Kool-Aid drinker? PEACE, SALEM SHALOM
29. #22 ...85 million...gone in a flash...So calm down
(08.20.11)
..why not wait to find out EXACTLY what happened? Wouldnt that be a good idea??? ...and remember a "proper war' with Israel is not advisable..maybe for many of you and other enemy states, completely unsurvivable...
30. #18 . . . CAUSED terrorists to infiltrate Israel???
Doug ,   Canada   (08.20.11)
You obviously use a different dictionary than the rest of the world. EVIL caused the terrorists to infiltrate Israel, and attack CIVILIANS on a PASSENGER bus! Very MANLY of them I must say!!
