1. a response
(04.02.13)
In response to Abbas accusations that Israel is responsible for Hamidyeh's death of terminal cancer, Netanyahu issued a formal apology and offered to pay "only" $1 million to the family.
2. Terrorist dies of cancer...
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
Maybe Abbas and his people, Hamas, ... ask not to assist medically their heroes. Like that they become martyrs and… the virgins are ready to receive them. For us: saving taxpayers' money!
3. Note: The man was imprisoned for attempted murder, and he
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.02.13)
died of cancer. He could have died at home, of course, if he had not attempted to murder Jews, because they were Jewish. But he made his choice, yet the Muslim-Arabs blaming us, Jews, again, for his death. No sense of introspection, none what-so-ever!!
4. 3rd intifadah is needed.
Salma ,   Palestine   (04.02.13)
#1 unfortunately Abbas is not Mr. Erdogan.
5. There is only one solution to the Palestinian problem!
David ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
They have a State de Jure as per the UN, Make it de facto where they stand today. Then close the border, stop giving the Palestinians work visas, stop them from crossing the border, now an international one, and fine every Israel on BOTH sides of the Green Line who employs a Palestinian! Mr. Netanyahu, why are YOU and YOUR Government allowing terrorists, passive and active, to enter our country? They ahve murdered thousands of Israelis! Get them OUT and give their jobs to the GENUINE refugees from West Africa and throw the rest out!
6. so what??
Marcelo ,   Berlin / TLV   (04.02.13)
So what? he was a dirty crap, wanting to kill Jews for the sole reason of being Jews. I am glad that there is one less rat in Israel....
7. @Salmon
Marcelo ,   Berlin / TLV   (04.02.13)
bring it on, and you will never be able to see the sun light again...no one of yours beloved wants to see your empty plates again...try it and your will lose for ever...and, be careful, there might also be a jewish Intifada against you...
8. In wonder how many cigarettes he smoked every day!
David ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
Abbas blames Israel for the "martyrdom" of this terrorist who died of cancer! This from the terrorist who was responsible for the slaughter of teachers and children at the Ma'alot School Massacre! Dr. Tibi MK, why don't YOU, as a doctor, do something about the catastrophic level of cigarette smoking in the Arab youth of Israel instead of making stupid statements just to vilify Israel? Do something for the people who elected you! You are more loyal to the Palestinians who kill Israelis, Arabs and Jews, than you are to your own people!
9. I THINK YOU LIVE IN PARIS
TO 5 MR.David ,   SARE   (04.02.13)
LOOK WHAT AFRICANS DO IN TEL AVIV, RAPE STEAL........ PALESTINIANS WORK AND THEN LEAVE TO THEIR HOMES
10. PA must act immediately
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (04.02.13)
to erect a golden monument for the martyr in the center of Ramallah. From EU aid of course.
11. Legalise terror: this won't recurr
Norbus ,   Jerusalem   (04.02.13)
Where's the justice in Israel imprisoning killers and terrorists? Human rights calls for a free for all. Free the criminals immediately.. Is this the basis we make peace? Not here we don't
12. so you miss Israeli tanks in your cities?
Yonatan ,   TA, Israel   (04.02.13)
Bring it on. Last one did not work out very well for you
13. A life sentence means until you die.
(04.02.13)
My brother in law's niece died in that coffee shop.
14. I don't think they understand life impisonment
dmitry ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
These Abbas and Tibi jokers are upset he died in a hospital. He deserved to die in his prison cell though. There should not be any compassionate release for Hamas members about to die of cancer. Look how the Lockerbie bomber took advantage of that. He promised to die a few months later, but the scum still kept breathing two years later.
15. #5 David one small problem
Gidy ,   Hertzaliya   (04.02.13)
So if you ban Palestinial workers from being employed on both sides of the green line, who is going to build your settlements? The harideem ?
16. yes, cancer is a jewish creation
jorge ,   argentina   (04.02.13)
17. My head hurts.
Ariel   (04.02.13)
Israel is MORALLY responsible for a TERRORIST, convicted of ATTEMPTED MASS MURDER, dying of CANCER at the age of 64. This is after Israeli taxpayers footed the bill for his chemotherapy. Am I missing something here, or is this notion as obscene as I thought?
18. Not Hamas but a Fatah member
Rimon ,   occupied Palestine   (04.02.13)
Abu Hamdiyeh was a retired Fatah general not Hamas as per your claim.
19. Pal leadership needs medical attention
Joe Fraser   (04.02.13)
From a shrink!
20. Terrorists died of cancer. Who cares?
Alex ,   Minneapolis, MN USA   (04.02.13)
Put MK TIBI in his place. Wouldn't it be great if that clown died of cancer also?
21. Pity that...
Eric ,   Toronto   (04.02.13)
...that there is no capital punishment in Israel for such murderous terrorist activities. This piece of scum should have been put to death a long tie ago!
22. Terrorist LWOP
Dan ,   Florida - Tel Aviv   (04.02.13)
All Rioting terrorists now in jail should have their privileges revoked and sentences increased to "Life without Parole". Additionally they all need to be placed in solitary confinement until their full new sentence is carried out.
23. Allegation -
Get Real ,   UK   (04.02.13)
The terrorist has terminal cancer and dies. PA spin- Israel's fault ,of course. What do they want, an apology? Medical negligence-why, does Israel have a cure for terminal cancer?
24. #17. And to add to your headache
Tim ,   Brighton   (04.02.13)
Tiny Tubby Silly Tibi suddenly appears like some bad odour for another PR opportunity swipe at Israel to claim that 'Israel is morally responsible' for his death!^%$!!!! Gosh this headaches catching. Now Ive got one!
25. re #4
nigel ,   london   (04.02.13)
and just what would a 3rd Intifada achieve ? more deaths ? more hatred. Any excuse for more violence seems to be your mantra. Hardly the reaction of a civilised person/society. The man died of cancer Had he not tried to murder people, he would have died at his home Just how you can blame Israel for this is beyond me and will be beyond any reasonable thinking person.
26. Just stop treating terrorists for free
Sergio HaDaR Tezza   (04.02.13)
Send them to Gaza hospitals with a one way ticket
27. PRISONER WITH CANCER.
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (04.02.13)
I WILL SUM IT UP IN A MINUTE. GOD,S PUNISHMENT. I HOPE A LOT MORE OF THOSE SEWER RATS WILL DIE. AMEN AMEN TO COMPENSATE THE FAMILY FOR $1000.000 FOR WHAT. MR NETENYAHO DONT BE SO WEAK
28. No one really buys this bleeding heart charade
Cut the c**p!   (04.02.13)
Everyone knows that the PA prisons practice horrific routine torture of their inmates. They are the last to preach to anyone about human rights and prisoner rights. The really sad thing is that UK, among other progressive nations, is financially supporting the PA's police and prison force that do the torturing. Wonder why they are silent? Palestinians should start noticing that they are gradually losing world support (the one that really counts). Relying on useful idiots and University students ranting and raving about Zionists, walls and "apartheid", is not going to cut it for much longer.
29. #4 and #25
Maurice ,   Montreal   (04.02.13)
#25: Well said! Totally agree. #4: It is because of your kind of thinking that your people will never have a country!
30. No.2 There are veryfew Virgins left nowadays
vicky ,   ashkelon   (04.02.13)
Unless they are Nuns!
