How would the media be handling this item if the students were Moslems and the police officers were Jews?

This is not justice. There is no excuse for attacking innocent civilians no matter what the reason. If we do not condemn this in the strongest measures possible, we are no better than those that would destroy us.

Judea and Samaria Jews must form their own army. It would be totally free of the mad chains inflicted on the I.D.F. by lunatic leftists. The Judea/Samaria army would be free to punish "Palestinian" terrorists as they deserve. The time is long overdue to put a permanent end to "Palestinian" terror.

Failure to protect the civilian population within occupied territories is a warcrime.

Isn't time to put a permanent end to "Jewish" terror. 1) Stone a bus of Palestinian school girls -shame 2) set fields on fire - with the dry weather now these stupid settlers will end up burning down the whole area. I guess that will be one way to solve the problem. Ruin it for everyone. Chaim you talk about a Judea/Samaria army as an Israeli that scares me. Many of them are thugs to begin with

The only "occupied terriroties" is Jordan. It occupies almost 80% of the Jewish Homeland Mandate. Judea and Samaria are part of Israel and always will be.

They should set up their own army, their own economy and let a huge wall be erected between the loonies of the so-called "Judea and Samaria"(Jews and Palestinians) and the State of Israel.

... and risk being killed. That's not such a difficult concept to grasp. Schoolgirls? Oh, so what? Is it necessary for me to remind you of Ma'alot? If the enemy has no consideration for schoolchildren, why should I care about theirs? They are only teaching them to hate, anyway. Get rid of them now, or get rid of them later. Better still -- if you don't want your schoolchildren hurt, then leave ours alone. How difficult a concept is that to grasp?

Not if Arabs are the once that are occupying Jewish lands.

The Jews or the Arabs?

LET THE PALESTINIANS AND THE SETTLERS GO AT IT ALONE...KEEP THE IDF OUT OF IT... THE PALESTINIANS EVEN DO NEED ANY ARMS..THEY WILL CHASE THE COWARDLY SETTLERS IN NO TIME... AND WILL SEND THEM PACING BACK TO THE US..AND TO WHERE THEY CAME FORM.. THE SETTLERS ARE OUTLAWS AND WILL NOT LAST LONG..

protecting the Jewish inhabitants of the Jewish land (West Bank), right?!

So much for bringing a knife to gun fight(civilian Euro settler with an automatic weapon). the Pals could take these cowards with rocks,,,,,,,,, settlers go back to where you come from, Europe and the U.S. and let Judea/Samaria,, the West Bank heal.

If you take the life of an innocent person intentionally then your penalty is death. What did the murderer know about the murdered? Chances are he knew nothing but that he was a Jew. And, it's a hate crime plain and simple. Before the innocent dead person is buried, the murders penalty of death should be executed. Who's going to argue about it, Amnesty International? They don't have a country. It shouldn't matter who commits the crime against who, the penalty should be the same. The Israeli and Palestinian governments are way to lacks on this as with other crimes and penalties.

Talking from the comforts of your nest straddled between 2 ocans its easy to talk. The problem here is this happens so many times , that the Jews are done with it. If Israel wont protect them they will take measures into their own hands. Israel had better heed what their citizens need. Israel had better heed what their citizens need. I could keep saying that, its sooo true

Protection. There should be an IDF presence at every juncture where there has been a terror attack. No ifs ands buts excuses or appeasement to the United Nations of Injustice.

"The stone terror from the West had been added to the terror of firebombs, knives, gunfire and missiles, time bombs, car bombs and suicide (bombers)," Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, 15 Apr 2013 I trust that these settlers will be tried as terrorists in a court of law.

...of the settlers. Upon reflection, I believe my comments apply to both Palestinians and Israelis. There is never any excuse for targeting innocent civilians. I live in Boston. As I am sure you are aware, we have had our own recent reminder regarding targeting innocents.

since stone throwing is an act of terror Bibi, we're waiting for your vile condamnations

I almost alway agree with you and appreciate the articulate way you express your opinions on this site. However, we cannot as a people ever agree to condone this type of behavior, no matter how angry, not matter how unjust we believe our enemies to behave. They target our children, so we target theirs. No. Sorry Sarah. Then you and I must have different G-ds. I hope you reconsider your position. Rich

Targeting school children on a bus is never excusable. Period. Act like animals, then you become animals. Your statement that "it happens so many times" simply does not justify the actions and lacks any kind of moral equivalency. Ever. I can't even believe we are having this discussion. Your "earth" has gone mad, Mr. self defense.

Though i dont approve retaliation at people who were not the culprit it does make me wonder if the Palestinians will now complain to the UN that stone throwing can injure, damage or kill. That would be Ironic.

#8. The real loonies are those Israeli Jews who want to cede our rights to our ancestral heartland and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp.

What a disgrace these settlers are. Its a tragedy about what happened to the Jewish Victim but to throw rocks at a bus which is holding children is diabolical. This is no way to revenge. Cowards.

Dear Itamar Fleishman, Why do you insist on calling them "settlers"- they are PEOPLE , just like you. I think you should rethink calling them settlers! if I wanted to read such racsim I would read CNN. I do not agree with the people throwing rocks at others and those who do so should be arrested. We are not animals like terroritits who's aim is to kill the innocent people. Yes, some Jews thew rocks but there is no need for you to show pictures and make the world feel sorry for them. How about showing pictures and sharing stories of the father who was MURDERED because he was JEWISH not because he was a "settler". My friend who travles on the bus to Ariel was stoned TWICED last month on the bus to university and was lucky to have been hurt, where's your long essay on that? YNET- maybe it's time for new writers.

Sarah? You don't even live here !!! So please, stay in your american dream... And by the way, if your philosophy is an eye for an eye, you are not better than terrorists... and it is exactly why the whole middle east is in trouble! because there's too many Sarah B around

amazing :) okay lets say they form up their own army? who would be in charge of them? by your logic i guess they will slelect their own commander, what happens when state policy is against something new army does? then idf would be ordered to go war against new army lovely idea :)

So you're supporting the murder of peaceful drivers - if they are Jewish? Who are you? A kapo? Study our history: do you know what happened to Jews who collaborated with the SS guards? You're from the same leftist-islamofascist mold. Disgusting.

Far from worrying about German civilians, Churchill deliberately sought to make as many Germans homeless as possible to dampen their enthusiasm for Hitler. Israel should learn from Churchill and the WW II Allies in general. Israel's reverence for enemy civilians is nauseating and idiotic. Countless good Israelis are being maimed and murdered because of Israel's reluctance to harm those who'd mass murder us in a heart beat if they could.
