1. So why did this arab have a knife in open view?
(05.26.12)
Was he about to sacrifice a ram to Ha Shem? Nah he was going to stab Another Israeli just for Living on Israeli Soil! This should be a Lesson To All arabs With Ill Intent!!! Sometimes when you grab the Bull You Get The Horns!!!
2. Evil strikes again
James ,   San Francisco   (05.26.12)
Yet another attack on Palestinian and Palestinian property. The man obviously did not have a knife because it would have been confirmed by the IDF. And as usual, the Jewish terrorist was not even questioned, just like the last week.
3. Are you surprised
Jarda ,   Czech Republic   (05.26.12)
they hate you?
4. #2 James there's no proof there wasn't a knife either!
David ,   Israel   (05.26.12)
If the IDF were there at the time it happened he would have got a bullet from them. An acting security guard is someone who has also been through the IDF , has no criminal record and obviously is doing his job. His job is to protect people, and it's obviously in his interest to keep it so he can continue to make a living. His not an extremist taking a gun and shooting someone he doesn't like! Stop thinking your more informed by falling for Palestinian propaganda. There's enough evidence on YouTube of them trying to cover their tracks to play the victim. Let's not dismiss which side has a far more serious history of terrorism and violence !
5. #2 james Don't You Know That ISRAEL
(05.26.12)
Is A Jewish State For Jews, but anyone is Allowed to live there, work, citizenship, vote and run for office. So james how many neighbors of Israel Afford the same rights to the arabs aka pali's? I'll tell You Zero that's because their arab brethren Depise them, lebanon, syria the simple solution to this Whole Mess is pseudo-king abdallah can Call All his subjects back to their own country trans-jordan aka jordan this what balfore deemed Almost 70 years ago. So if you would like I'll send you a quarter to call someone who really cares. Have a great day jimmy. If your bored Go visit balboa park in San Dog you might like it!
6. The true story
Jimi ,   Palestine   (05.26.12)
Settlers put on fire palestinan's weat harvests and while trying to kill fire, setllers & army shot pullets & tear gas on them, the guard arrested the man, tied his hands behind his back and then shot him directly, settlers kicked him alot before palestinians were able to free him and send him to hospital!!! I think u r following hetller steps against the palestinians and you all will face the same shamefull destiny.,, GOD never orders such beahviour... Never
7. How many times must this be said...?
Gideon Reader   (05.26.12)
Sight picture. Take a breath. Let half of it out. Press the trigger sloooow-ly. A crying *NEED* for a calibre starting with the numeral "4", and muzzle velocity of 900fps or grerater.
8. # 4 David " Just the facts Ma'am" The facts are
ben   (05.26.12)
the settler who shot Al- Safadi was not even detained or questioned. Why cloud the issue. But If you want to talk about the past Many of Israel's founding fathers were terrorists, and they are all heros in Israel. Begin [ the Kind David Hotel] Y Shamir [ The Stern Gang assasinaion of Folk Bernedete] The Irgun [ massacre Dier Yassin] massacre Huola Lebanon. A Sharon[ Israel death squad leader of unit 101] Plan Dalet.
9. Funny thing...
AJ ,   Raalte   (05.26.12)
the "injured man" on the gurney doesn't look like there's anything wrong with his abdomen.
10. yitzhar loves to shoot
Wound ,   West Bank   (05.26.12)
Why not? The IDF arrive always late. God is silent,. The circunstances are favorable. Why not?
11. Aw, pickin on James
mm ,   canada   (05.27.12)
You see James it was just self defense. Arabs just have to quit "pokin the bear"
12. Palliwood strikes again
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, NZ   (05.27.12)
But I would love to know what really happened, in particular, why the man on a stretcher with an abdominal wound looks like there is nothing wrong with his abdomen. Blood to be added in post-processing?
13. Why?
Daniel   (05.27.12)
What is a mob of 30 Israelis settlers doing on the outskirts of a Palestinian village? Maybe they wouldn't need armed security guards if they weren't out causing trouble and stayed home.
14. #2 James you're correct
Jim USA ,   Pittsburg USA   (05.27.12)
This version (pro-jewish) doesn't report that the settlers came to the Arab village, jews burned a wheat field along with an olive grove IDF was there watching when shots were fire by 2 men with M-16s and 1 man with a pistol. Reading A-7 can expected most of the supports are unconditional israeli supports. Jews can do no wrong
15. To: No. 10
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.27.12)
Oh, please. Perhaps if you started to act like human beings and faced up to reality -- you know, you lost the wars; all of them -- and stopped resorting to terror, chopping down or burning down your own olive groves and then trying to blame everything on the Jewish people, you might actually get somewhere. Abandon violence -- I realize that is a tall order for an ersatz "Palestinian," but give it a try. Nothing else has worked for you. How about peace? Can you manage it? Doubtful, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try.
16. the picture shows no abdomen wound
Arnold ,   Canada   (05.27.12)
Hold it..... if the Palestinian was shot in the abdomen then where is the blood. Abdomen bullet holes spew lots of blood. There was not a drop of blood on the man on the stretcher.
17. #9 and #12
I love fanatics ,   Ohio, USA   (05.27.12)
Learn to use your computer. If you zoom in on the photo, you can clearly see a bullet hole just below the shirt.
18. #17 it's called "navel"
2Mad ,   צרפת   (05.27.12)
Unless you think in french, and referring to "trou de balle".
19. #17, I love fanatics
Ariel ,   Modi'in, Israel   (05.27.12)
If you use your computer to study basic biology, you would know the difference between a belly button and a bullet hole!!
20. #10
jerusalem   (05.27.12)
Its a good thing violence by your lot has been and still is being documented and proven on the internet. What you dribble is not swaying anyone. There is no 'peace' with your ilk, and neither should anyone 'try'. Go take your 'peace' somewhere else.
21. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.27.12)
That's his navel. No blood, no bandages. Learn to use your eyes.
22. sorry, #20 is meant to #15
(05.27.12)
23. NATO
FRED ,   USA   (05.27.12)
Israel can not patrol itself. Time to put either Nato or American forces in he West Bank to patrol the area fairly. To many zealot Zionist in the West Bank enabled by the IDF who do nothing to the settlers. At least the settlers would not do something stupid with international forces in play
24. No abdominal injury?
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.27.12)
Being shot in the abdomen doesn't necessarily mean that blood will spurt from the wound. It is quite possible that the outlet wound is blocked and that there are widespread internal injuries. Anyone claiming that this Palestinians is acting, because there is no abdominal wound, makes himself ridiculous. The T-shirt only shows part of the abdomen. But what is exposed does not look normal. The abdomen is distended and to the right of the umbilicus there is an extensive area of bruising. History is often indicative of the wounds one may expect. The young man in question - his name is Najeh al-Safadi and he is 22 years old - was actually handcuffed by a guard from the illegal colony of Yitzhar, who threw him on the ground and shot him, while other Jewish colonists were kicking him. This was witnessed by a relative. The abdominal bruising could be either from the kicking or from the shooting. Najeh was saved by other people from his village of Orif and according to press reports transferred to Rafidiah Hospital in Nablus with severe internal injuries. About 25 colonists, some armed with rifles, had set fire to the wheatfields of the village of Orif close to the primary school.
25. why doesn't the press get a staement from the Jews?
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.27.12)
We always hear only the arab side of the story, which is usually lies.
26. Why is the IDF expected to protect
Bad Assed Jew ,   United States   (05.27.12)
palestinians? the pals have not stopped attacking Israel, have reveled in the fact that an entire family ( The Fogel's, including a four month old infant) was slaughtered, danced in the streets and handed out candy after 9-11. The pals are a non people created and meant to remove all Jews from israel. The best plan for the pals is to move. They are not welcome in Israel or, any other ME country. The only 'invented people' who receive aid and still keep attacking Israel. No wonder the IDF protects Jews. Who else will if not the IDF? Israel owes nothing to her enemies, nothing. pals go home!!! Israel belongs to the Jews!!!!!!
27. To: No. 24
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.27.12)
Nursie boy, the man on the stretcher is not handcuffed. There is no abdominal bruising. And my husband -- who is a surgeon -- informs me that abdominal wounds bleed profusely. At a minimum, a pressure bandage would be applied. History has been very indicative of what one may come to expect of the ersatz "Palestinians." Violence, terror, vandalism, destruction of their own fields -- all so that they can point the finger at Jews. The Jewish people have every right to defend themselves against the violent ersatz "Palestinians" who seem unable to grasp the concept that they are a vanquished people. Six wars and seven decades of unrelenting Arab terror have to count for something. But you are so close-minded and such a Jew-hater that you refuse to see the truth. You are fooling no one, nursie boy.
28. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.27.12)
Did you somehow miss all the documentation on the internet of rioting ersatz "Palestinians?" Does the word "intifada" mean anything to you? Do you think rioting and rock-throwing constitute "peaceful" demonstrations? How about random stabbings committed by ersatz "Palestinians" on the light rail or at bus stations? How about attempting to smuggle bombs through a checkpoint? That's actually pretty well-documented, too. Go take your violent selves out of our beautiful country. We know all about "peaceful Arabs." We've seen it all across the Middle East, haven't we? Whom do you think you are fooling?

First, the navel is NOT located an inch below the rib cage. Second, not all bullet wounds gush blood - (just because you see it on TV doesn't make it real). Most importantly, it was the settlers who started the fire in the olive grove. And when the Pals came to put out the fire, they were met with stones and bullets. Not content, the settlers then turned around and stoned the Security forces. The settlers in Yitzhar love violence. So much so that the government closed the high school and Yeshiva because "The students are involved in many violent acts against Palestinian residents and security forces. Prominent rabbis in the yeshiva support and/or are involved in this violent activity"
30. ok true story
