1. Indeed a hero!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.12)
The truth is always heroic, isn't it? Al Dura is a scurrilous and abject criminal, whose perfidy has been exposed, thanks to the good doctor! What kind of parent seeks to capitalize on the death of his child -- whose death was all of his making? The world needs to sit up and take notice. Welcome to the "wonderful" world of the ersatz "Palestinian."
2. When we have the full truth, Israel will have the last laugh
Charles   (02.19.12)
Just think, a lot of Palestinians died in the Second Intifada, launched by this fake event, for nothing Nothing! Losers, the Palestinians continue to prove to the world.
3. What are the odds that any...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (02.19.12)
...int'l media outlets with run this story?
4. Dr. David Yehuda.
Daniel Barkai ,   São Paulo & Brazil   (02.19.12)
Kol ha kavod to Dr. Daniel Yehuda. Following over five years of immense suffering, the whole truth finally surfaced: Just one more fabricated slander made by the fabricated Beople, aka, the so-called Balestinians. Indeed, Dr Daniel Yehuda is a contemporary Jewish hero (out of a wide string of his peers).
5. Why didnt Pallywood ever show the bullet that"klled"AlDura?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (02.19.12)
Who witnessed the autopsy? France 2 charlatans helped create an Arab Horst Vessel.Payback time, unleash the lawyers on the guilty parties.
6. Good to see justice prevails,
meghan ,   israel   (02.19.12)
the truth comes out eventually and so often too late as the taint of the Palestianian lies will be what sits with the world, even if not with many individuals who dont have a media voice. Good for Dr Yehuda, a long struggle but he and his ilk is what gives us hope.
7. Dr. Yehuda
tzvi ,   j-m   (02.19.12)
Let us set aside Halacha for a moment. Secularists claim that the definition of a Jew should be -that he who casts his lot with the Jewish people is a Jew. This leads me to think that Dr. Yehuda's selflessness would be a fine example to any would be convert. The examples set by those who aren't able to think or act like a Jew, and certainly those that think that the enemy's welfare should precede ours- should count for close to nothing. May the Dr. Yehudas of our people thrive. There can't be any peace without truth!
8. Europeans in food queues. Did they pay for Al Dura to sue?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (02.19.12)
or was the money laundered through some "peace fund"?
9. So all my crocodile tears over the al-Dura lad were in vain?
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.19.12)
10. Thank you Dr. Yehuda!
R ,   Israel   (02.19.12)
The Hebrew article in Friday's paper had more details, including that Dr. Yehuda endured this battle for 5 years at his own expense, and without support from the state. He is a true hero.
11. proud of you ,doc!
oded ,   the us of a.   (02.19.12)

13. Yair: How do u know the boy 'was shot dead'?
tf ,   herzliya il   (02.19.12)
The Camera man lied, France 2, Charles Enderlin lied trying to hide that they had been duped and now the father been caught out lying. Yair on what basis do you presume the boy really was shot dead?
14. Dr Yehuda
ray stuart ,   Zürich   (02.19.12)
May you continue in your good work . Sometimes if not always justice will be seen ( as it was in this case)

anton ,   istanbul turkey   (02.19.12)
anything that praise israel probably makes your day be it over trivial matter or something more important as thıs one, im sure you would even try to defend israel if it were to be proven kid was shot by israeli soldier:) sometime in future most likely right before yourlife time has expired you will understand one little but important thing about life ;) as for this hero congrats to him for proving what many describe here as jewish values :) and ynet i wonder how long will you keep blocking my comments? are they that disturbing or you cant simpley stand to opinions other than those that falls in line with yours:)
16. 'Caught in a firefight'?
Joel ,   New York, USA   (02.19.12)
Watch the videos. Father and son were behind the barrel for 45 minutes. Pal Cameramen positioned themselves BEHIND the al-Dura's and right in 'the line of fire'. Please.
17. Overwhelmed with joy...
FO ,   Belgium   (02.19.12)
I'm overwhelmed with joy about the success of Dr. Yehuda in his battle for truth and justice, being alone, without any official help Let's recall the facts.Following the "shooting incident, involving father and son", the IDF spokesman gave a declaration in English and I quote: "According what we knew and we knew very little, it was possible that the child was killed during the crossfire, of course not on purpose, with a possibility that the fire came from Israeli side, but very quickly we understood that there was a need for investigation". This was of course the most unfortunate way to handle such a matter. INVESTIGATE FIRST, THAN TALK. For anybody with some expertise film, it was obvious that the "Al-Dura video spot was a fake ! In the aired images there is NOT ONE direct bullet impact in the wall, although " father Al-Dura" declared that the IDF was shooting with automatic weapons, and without stopping, during more than forty minutes. Well, about 5.000 bullets should have hit the wall, but amazing, not one direct impact is seen in the wall. The conclusion is that nobody has been injured neither killed. This "news item" is a hoax, a fake. I'm puzzled by the fact that even today, this paper as well as readers posting talkbacks, still write about the Palestinian boy who was "shot dead".
18. Proud of all IDF !
Rachel ,   USA   (02.19.12)
19. the coming 3 wars
mohson   (02.19.12)
matters will be settled with the neigbouring arabs who moved into israel and called themselv es palestinians. In the next 3 wars, rockets, munitions, invasions, giant bombs will be employed by all sides and the arabs occupying judea and samaria will be decimated. A better way would be for them to leave to jordan now And Israel still claims part of jordan as its ancestral home. There are a few jews who have not reconciled to defending israel;rather they defame and divide israel. They are also perfectly within their right to move out of israel to jordan as well. And abbas will understand clearly that he is the foreigner in israeli land and that what olmert offered him was treason and that is the real reason olmert deserves to sit in jail.
20. JESUSALEN
cristian ,   JESUSALEN   (02.19.12)
the violent hero as the only one able to solve the conflicts in human history,we find ourselves with this fact the constant attempt by men to dominate their fellows in own benefits even when they realize,selfishness,desire for dominion over others and the fear of being dominated by others is often the root of lying,simulation,fraud,coercion, concealed moral violence,the selfish manipulation and wars "do not use the sword,who uses sword to sword will die" historical law those wielding the sword and trigger violence,perishing by the aggression that it turns against themselves,you do not fate to the stranger,you know the fate fo the stranger because strangers were you in egypt,God is advocate for victims of injustice of men and more in particular the orphan,the widow and the poor,they melt their swords to plough ploughshares and their spears to make sickles,unlike the heads of nations that make weigh on them their power and domain,the servant must be the server from each other resisting the temptation to establish the kingdom of God by violent means:do not want to dominate men by force,refuses to be a politician and obtain the glory of men,my kingdom is not of this world if my kingdom were of this world my guard would have fought not to descend me
21. mmmmmmmmmmmm
s B   (02.19.12)
It's amazing how when a jew is losing a decision, how money changes the outcome/
22. MERCI CHER DOCTEUR TU ES LE MEILLEUR
Eran ,   Singapore   (02.19.12)
THANKS DEAR DOCTOR? YOU ARE THE BEST? BRAVO. SHAME THAT ISRAEL AND THE IDF DID NOT LEAD THAT FIGHT......
23. BS, 70 years of Jewish terror/occupation in Palestine
Adam ,   USA   (02.19.12)
60 years of Jewish terror, occupation, and oppression in Palestine can't be whitewashed with any western court ruled and controlled by Jewish lobbyists.
24. Anton #15, "thanks" for your smallminded
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (02.19.12)
comment. Maybe it's because your comments are worthless is why Ynet blocks them.
25. No 15
Emma ,   London   (02.19.12)
Why can't you accept that 'victims' that you so eagerly support are masters at propaganda and staging events for the news media. Remember Jenin when they said there had been a massacre and they dug up bodies from graveyards and left them in the streets to try and convince people that the smell was coming from recently butchered Palestinians? Conclusively proven that there was no such massacre? Or the dead people that jump off funeral stretchers? Or the supposed photo of an Israeli soldier stamping on a Palestinian child. Such a very few examples of Pallywood and the deception perpetrated by Palestinian liars. By the way, how do you know a Palestinian is lying? His lips are moving - think about it. And no we don't defend the indefensible unlike the Palestinians who justify slitting the throats of 3 month old sleeping babies (such heroes you admire). Yes we are proud of our Jewish values that value life and will do anything to preserve it unlike yours and the people you so admire who glorify death. It has been conclusively proven that the Al Dura incident was staged and that it was a Palestinian bullet that killed the child not an Israeli one (if in fact he is actually dead and there is controversy about even that fact). And how many of my comments supporting Israel do you think would be published on a Muslim website? I would probably be hunted down and beheaded for being a 'Zionist spy' and an infidel.
26. Adam from Golan Heights
Jess ,   USA   (02.19.12)
Good point. If it wasn't for ynet I wouldn't have heard it on our news stations here in the US.
27. Anton-Turkey
Jess ,   USA   (02.19.12)
An Israeli soldier wouldn't intentionally shoot a child during a fire fight. But a loving parent wouldn't have their child anywhere near a fire fight, but Palestinians obviously use their own children for propaganda purposes. Sad really.
28. So many heroes ;) ,...
split ,   US   (02.19.12)
Last week the wife of an Israeli envoy now this dude - BTW, OJ Simpson was acquitted too ,...

Welcome to the club ;) ,...
30. To: No. 28
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (02.19.12)
O.J. Simpson lost the civil suit. I truly hope that Dr. Yehuda sues al Dura.
