(06.29.13)
He wanted to do good, may his soul be blessed for it. But he was a naive dreamer and didn't understand the Middle East mentality.
9. wake up
idizk   (06.29.13)
idealism is fine at a western school but not in hot arab countries where killing is a national pastime.
10. A confused Jew
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (06.29.13)
trying to elevate the savages instead of devoting his energy and appreciating the superior moral quality of his own people, who needed him more than the Jew-haters of Egypt

15. Idealist naive youngsters fail to understand
Vardina   (06.29.13)
that they should avoid spreading ideas about peace and democracy to muslim fanatic beasts who understand the language of murder and bloodshed only. Parents should do everything in their power to stop their boys from such dangerous useless adventures. Let those savages murder one another because they don't know better.
16. Why Was He There
Andrew ,   New York, NY   (06.29.13)
I don't want to take away from the tragedy of a lost life - but i have to ask - why was this young man in Eqypt at this time? It's was a foolish decision and unfortunetely he paid with his life.
17. CIA Agent
Tony ,   USA   (06.29.13)
The only reason a Jew would go there is that he was a CIA agent.
18. how dare the parents...
D ,   centre   (06.29.13)
how dare they. did they not understand the dangers.? is there not enough evidence on the net about the reality there? How did they educate him? why did they allow him? If it had been my son...over my dead body. And he would have been out of my life if he insisted....

Fighting for 'peace and understanding' in the Middle East is like fighting for prohibition in Ireland.

Alan ,   SA   (06.29.13)
Polar Bear...Climb Kilimanjaro....Shoot rapids over Iguasso Falls...Sleep with a yetti...Swim with Pirana Fishes...Wrestle an Australian Saltie Crocodile AND WORK IN A DANGEROUS COUNTRY
22. 18 D kinda harsh ?
Henri ,   Montreal   (06.29.13)
as much as I agree with you, if you look at statistics......you would see that the vast majority return home safe and sound. (Even so, I agree, i would never let my child go to any Islamic country--not now-not ever)
23. American Jews - STAY OUY OF EGYPT!
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (06.29.13)
If you're American, they already hate you. If you're Jewish too, they definitely want you dead.It doesn't matter how idealistic you are & how much you want to help, it was dangerous for Jews even before the turmoil. If you go there now you have a death wish.
24. Why not help Jewish children in Israel?
Rozie   (06.29.13)
This is a product of very bad jewish education at home...first help your own people. Why does a young Jewish man travel to help the enemy? Did he think that they wouldl love him more? They probably stabbed him knowing he is a Jew and an American.
