RIMON WHAT DO YOU MEAN OCCUPIED PALESTINE, YOU NEED TO GO AND SEE A RASS HAKIM. YOU NEBBISHE.
32. Golly, gee now Israel is blamed for not curing cancer
Sidney ,   USA   (04.02.13)
Is there anything that Abbas and his disciples like Tibi don't blame Israel for? The idea that Israel can make peace with these people is held by fools and opium users.
33. Boo Hoo Boo Hoo a terrorist is dead
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.02.13)
Now the rest of the terrorists will riot and tell us how terrible we are for not preventing the cancer in the first place. Too fucking bad. WHEN we do cure it - we will be sure not to share with the Arabs either because they are boycotting us.
34. He couldn't have been in better hands
If he was released he probably wouldn't have lived as long as he did. When will the terror...
35. Islamic Arabs are confused
USA   (04.02.13)
They claim martyrdom is to be achieved, then go bonkers when they achieve it. What a bunch of G_dforsaken morons!!!
36. Cancer dies of cancer....oh how sweet !!

37. The Only Good Terrorist Is A Dead One!
(04.02.13)
He died from cancer, Israel Had Absolutely Nothing To Do With this Death! If he was a grateful citizen of Israel and had not Commited Serious Crimes involving Israeli's Deaths would not have died in Jail, But he would still be dead! Good RIDENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
38. This is of course a non-story story in light of the fact...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.02.13)
...that millions have died due to cancer, worldwide, within and without prisons. The only story here is how the Muslim-Arabs attempt to weave yet another "narrative", fictional story designed for political expediency; a fabric full of fabrications that accuses the Jews of the cancer that brought the man to die when he is in his 60s. And, some actually pay highly for such fabrics...

BEN JABO (MACHAL) ,   ISRAEL   (04.02.13)
Third Intifada and you're going to be in the vanguard aren't you ? Fortunately, you're just a talker not a doer , all wind no substance
40. talk back 33 - Don't mislead people!
Fadallah ,   Canada   (04.02.13)
No one is blaming Israel for not preventing the cancer. They are blaming Israel for letting a terminally ill man die in jail when everyone knew he was dying. Do you know what compassion is? I guess not!
41. If a pal dies of cancer,is he still entitled to the 72 virgi
Alan ,   SA   (04.02.13)
42. #3 Qatzrin is in Syria
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (04.02.13)
Not Israel
43. An evil disgusting regime
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (04.02.13)
On a par with the worse fascist states of 1970's South America. Netanyahu once again has blood on his hands, didn't even have the decency to allow for palliative care as he died shackled to a bed. Disgusting behaviour from a country that claims to be a light unto nations.
44. #12 Yonathan actually the last
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (04.02.13)
intifada succeeded in delegitimising the State of Israel and i't occupation of Palestine. Before the last intifada there was no boycott movement against the Jewish state. A movement that Israeli politicians have called an existential threat to the State of Israel. The occupation is destroying Israel if you do not see that you are either a settler or you profit from the Occupation
45. #14 Dimitry
Sarah B ,   Tel Aviv/London   (04.02.13)
Then stop whinging about Jonathan Pollard who is subject to a life sentence
46. Did israel provide any health care??? Doubt it.
Big Question   (04.02.13)
47. He couldn't have been in better hands.
(04.02.13)
Israel's hospitals are excellent.
48. #40 Polard is sick too, but no one gives a crap
(04.02.13)
49. #42 Qatzrin in Syria? Not any more it's not....heh,heh

ChanahS ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
Actually, if you even read the article, you would know that he died in hospital (Soroka hospital in Beer Sheva).

Divine retribution.
52. Ooh ooh ahh!
Guy ,   KC   (04.02.13)
As The Offspring said, "You've got to keep them separated!"
53. Sorry to sound harsh and heartless BUT
Arlene ,   Israel   (04.02.13)
he had terminal cancer. Chemo will not cure it, just delay the enevitable. This person had no qualms about causing the death of others, so why go to all that expense for treatment. I see good folks die of cancer after a fight, folks that did no harm to anyone. Netto, we are supposed to be the humane ones, but there are cancers that dont take long to finish a person. No treatment will help.

(04.02.13)
he didn't die in jail. he died in a jewish israeli hospital with totally good care in his final days. had he been in ramallah or gaza, he would have died under primitive circumstances because the arabs do not have good hospitals and most go to israel for cancer treatment.

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.02.13)
If the terrorist had known what compassion is he would never have been in prison. The terrorist deserved the same compassion found in Sharia Law but Israel is much to kind. What part of "life sentance" don't you understand? Each one of us is dying as we speak. It's just a matter of time. In this bastards case it was cancer.
56. death
rm ,   Amsterdan, NL   (04.02.13)
Just find out whether or not he got the treatment he needed. If so and he died anyway...nothing can be done. If not..why not? ( even a so-called terrorist has the right to be treated when he's ill, like it or not) When the securitysituation is already shaky you really don't need this kind of thing to happen....
57. # 43 An evil disgusting person
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.02.13)
Perhaps you would be happier if Israel practiced Sharia law and then this scumbag would not have lived to die of cancer. Now wouldn't that be better?
58. It doesn't get any better than this:-)
HaifaGuy   (04.02.13)
This is Bill Maher's stuff, someone must contact him immediately so that a couple of days later we would have a good laugh on HBO/Youtube at this dead dog's expense. Until then, allow me to revel in this shining example of how the Arab mind works. Truth definitely beats fiction in this case. PS Sara Wanna B: Please don't forget to close the toilet lid behind you after you flush yourself down, you smell really bad, you 5th columnist.
59. #43
Vlad   (04.02.13)
Why did you then leave the UK and move to the "evil disgusting regime"?

Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.02.13)
Sarah Wanna B : What a perfect description you have come up with. Thank You.
