31. 27-re attack on 80 year old
rut ,   karmiel Israel   (03.20.13)
unfortunately there is plenty of violence/hooliganism carried by Jewish youth as well..so don't assume.
32. were the teens Arabs?
k ,   US   (03.20.13)
I doubt Jews would do this so I dont think they were Jews
33. Hope these thugs get a long jail sentence
Haim ,   TA   (03.20.13)
Truly sickening, you have to ask what kind of parents raised these monsters? I hope they get at least 10 years in jail, anything less is a gross injustice. I hope the victims physical and mental scars heal quick.
34. to #3 and #32
Naftali ,   Modiin Israel   (03.20.13)
It does not really matter who these kids were, but being that in the past if they religous or arabs Ynet had to mention it the lack of mention would lead me to assume that it was neither, but that is only an assumption who knows. to #32 unfourtanatly Jewish kids do these things it is sad I wish they would not but they do. Less than a year ago some kid stabbed and murdered a guy because he went to tell them to quiet down.
35. half a tonne bomb
Eliezer Eisenberg ,   Chicago   (03.20.13)
Your use of the word "alleged" and your quote marks around "terrorist" show that you, too, support the behavior of those dear Arabs that shoot rockets at civilians and cut the throats of infants. So your criticism of Israeli society does lose some impact. I can't speak for Israel, but I would understand the rationale of killing not only terrorists but those that shield them as well. It's an ugly and horrible reality, but a reality nonetheless.
36. @29 - aggree but need to add to the bigger picture.
jrebecca ,   modiin   (03.20.13)
1. Parents should be involved in the punishment. If the kids get community service, so should the parents. 2. Not so long ago a man was killed because he asked kids to be quit in the middle of the night. We need to see how and where we can improve our children's education.
37. # 30..No, you are being fed a load of BS...
Edithann ,   USA   (03.20.13)
Israel did all that in Lebanon the last time..."tiny little camera guided missiles through the window of a room in which they have carefully confirmed the opresence of a murderer.' How can you tell who a 'carefully confirmed murderer is? Must we take your word for it? Israel sent their carefully confirmed intelligence telling the USA of WMD's in Iraq...it's 10 years now and no signs of WMD's...What you've been saying is all BS..and should not be believed... TATA
38. # 35..From Jewish thugs beating up a Jewish old man
Edithann ,   USA   (03.20.13)
How did that topic get you to justification for killing Arabs? Are you sure you're in Chicago? TATA
39. To: No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.20.13)
The weapons of mass destruction, which were very definitely present in Iraq (you may remember that Saddam Hussein used them against the Kurds). They were trucked over the border into Syria, where they are now causing widespread concern and havoc. I guess you've been too drunk and drugged out to notice ....
40. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.20.13)
Why are you so certain that the perpetrators are Jewish? Are you sure you have a functioning brain? If so, then please prove it for once.
41. To: K at No. 32
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.20.13)
If the perpetrators had been Jews, their names would be splashed all over the news, the fact that they are minors notwithstanding. They were likely Arabs, which is why their identity is being shielded.
42. third world contry.

split ,   US   (03.20.13)
Sorry, that was one tone bomb dropped on residential building where alleged 'terrorist' Salah Shehade was sleeping - As a result fifteen people mostly children got killed, including Shahade his wife and daughter plus seven members of the Matar family who lived next door to Shehade. Between 50 and 150 were injured as a result of the attack.
45. 35 - Arabs that shoot rockets at civilians ,...
split ,   US   (03.20.13)
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?,... "It's an ugly and horrible reality, but a reality nonetheless" - No kiddin' so don't cry when they fight back because you invaded them not the other way around ,...
46. #16 - and the reason for the IDF checkpoints?
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
Arab violence.
47. Split is OK by me. more right than wrong
Jim ,   Pittsburgh   (03.20.13)
48. To: No. 45
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.20.13)
You are dumber than a box of rocks. The Arabs were the aggressors in all six wars. Sucks to start a war that you do not win, doesn't it? But territorial losses are part and parcel of war, aren't they?
49. The kids AND the parents need to be jailed
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
Scum!
50. #5 - so, they learned from the Arabs?
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
When looking at who targets civilians as a matter of policy and the percentage of old and defenseless of total injured/killed, it's obvious the Arabs are the leaders here. But the factual lesson aside.... the real culprit here is what's occurring all over the world. A very lax form of responsibility and discipline resulting in kids that have no respect for each other let alone their elders, and a sense of entitlement. Some socialists also argue this is the reason the "Palestinians" feel compelled to years of senseless violence that help no one. Well, that and billions of dollars in unaccounted welfare aid.
51. #17 - What gets more media coverage around the world....
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
is what happens most often.... rockets slamming into civilian Israeli neighborhoods while Arabs dance, chant, and hand out candies. Buses and pizza parlors blown up because "there were dirty Jews there". Or the slaughter of an entire family while they slept - though NO soldiers were staying there at all - and the crime hidden by an entire village AND the PA president, until they were eventually caught and bragged about the heinous crime. With such senseless, anti-human violence of Arabs - and there is so much of it which attests to the low 12% support "Palestinians" have from Americans - it is any wonder other youth indirectly are being affected to act like this? We'll not touch on the Arab youth who are being directly affected through dehumanizing TV broadcasts, parades in the streets celebrating deaths of Jewish kids, school programs that honor Jihadis and summer programs to teach kids to be martyrs and shoot Jews.
52. #25 - and if that were true, there'd be 1 million dead Arabs
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
but there are only a handful, and "palestinians" still have fuel, lots of products, high literacy rates, and high life expectancy rates, with positive population growth. Guess your BDS "quick tips" sheet failed you again.
53. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.20.13)
That's what happens when terrorists hide behind human shields.
54. #26 - Hasbara = inconvenient facts
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
You can run but you can't hide. Call it Hasbara or "Gorilla testicles", the result is the same - the truth will come out and the Arab narrative continues to whither in its light. Must be why the world has put Pallys on the back-burner indefinitely.
55. #47 - like Obama was "more elected than not"
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
with only 51% of the vote vs. 49% against.
56. #45 - easy to figure that one out
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
Jews immigrated (not invaded) to the land, to join their Jewish brothers, with the blessing of the Ottoman rulers, then the British Mandate holders. But it was the Arabs who took up violence against Jews since 1917, and led massacres of Jews - any Jews, even neighbors they knew for decades - in 1920, under the chants "We will drink the blood of the Jews"... Jews of course had to defend themselves, and did successfully, and the "Palestinians" continue to claim the victim following many defeats of their genocidal wars... and the rest in history.
57. #44 - the outcome was never to be dead civilians
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
but mistakes do happen and one error was the use of a 1 ton bomb which was never repeated. Conversely, killing Israeli civilians - both Jew and Arab - ARE the intent of Arab terrorists and they celebrate that fact. You can't run from that glaring fact anymore than Abbas can't hide the anti-American sentiment and racism that is the very character of his "people".
58. #42 - a sad state of affairs, yes, but a 3rd world country?
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
This sadly is an occurrence seen in many more countries, especially 1st world countries in the West and those with older cultures like China. It's disgusting and shows a devolution of humanity, but it doesn't character Israel as a 3rd world State.
59. #37 - we've been pretty accurate so far
William ,   Israel   (03.20.13)
Hamas, IJ, PRC, Al Aqsa all have confirmed the many terrorists we killed as martyrs in their ranks, and their value to the "Palestinian cause" through the blood of Jews. If you can't take the jihadis' own word for it, who's can you accept? You failed to mention that not oil Israeli and US intelligence spoke of Iraq's WMDs, but also Chinese, Russian, European, all of which was reviewed over and over again by the US govt, and all led to the same conclusion. So either Saddam did a good job at delivering his fabricated message, or the entire non-Arab world was infected by evil Mossad Zionists pushing for the demise of this poor naive victim from Tikrit.
60. 56 - Jews immigrated (not invaded)
split ,   US   (03.20.13)
Save your breath pal, there was a relative peace between Muslims and Jews, Muslims and Christians (Palestine/Lebanon) before the zionist nomads showed up and started doing what the do best that is to spread their crap and abet against each other ,...
