1. Why not publish the name of the
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.22.13)
passenger who noticed the suspicious bag? He too deserves praise.
2. Unknown Hero, G-d Knows him
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (12.22.13)
It is O.K., Ora, the "unknown" passenger was blessed by HaShem with the Heart of a Lion. Prayers and blessings to him and to Kol Yisrael.
3. Curious to see if the terrorist is
Erez   (12.22.13)
an "israeli" arab or a fakestinian from the Arab Occupied Territories of Judea and Samaria taking advantage of the leniency with which work permits are granted to those who want the jews dead.
4. AND SO DEAR CHILDREN THIS IS THE PIECE PROCESS
stude ham   (12.22.13)
you cannot ever make peace with these murderers. beware of the Kerry okies!
5. The Fruit of "Peace Talks" with the Arabs is...
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (12.22.13)
terrorism. Jews will lose their lives. No peace agreement will be signed. We will again clobber the Arabs, somewhere, somehow. They will be worse off than they think they are now (even though they are really quite good off only they lie and say their situation is bad).
6. #1 Ora Jerusalem
Benny ,   Gush Etzion   (12.22.13)
Ora, Ynet does NOT want to give too much publicity to Hareidim, its bad enough they had to admit that the driver is a Hareidi. Yesh Atid , HaTenua and their cronies must be choking over this that a Hareidi was the hero who "shared in the burden"
7. No.
NO. ,   Israel   (12.22.13)
This man deserves his privacy. I'm sure of it that he wants to be an anonymous otherwise his name was published.
8. Bus
Anat ,   Rehovot   (12.22.13)
Who was the young man who alerted the busdriver? He deserves a lot of praise top, if it weren't for him, there would have been a disaster!
9. The root cause, occupation
(12.22.13)
10. it is time to incinerate hamas
salim   (12.22.13)
stop playing word games. Incinerate the hamas structure and wipe the germ off the face of the earth.
11. Benny , who said that the passenger was charedi ?
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.22.13)
I'm taking this bus more than once , after Machon Mor , when coming from bne berak , not many passengers are charedi anymore . In the direction to Bne berak it's the same , most passengers are normal Israelis till machon mor
12. #9 hits the nail of iits head. Arab occupation of Infidel
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.22.13)
lands is the root cause of most of the world problems combined with their extended Muslim family.
13. why didnt they write....
jason   (12.22.13)
That it was a charedi bus driver!!!
14. 6 Benny ,Without the Haredim...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (12.22.13)
i give not five years to Israel to become a non-Jewish State. The secular Jewish families with their one or two children don't share the burden of producing a Jewish majority. They don't share the burden of keeping the Jewish Tora laws . They reject faith which made the Muslims strong ,making it easy for them to conquer Israel without war . Same as in secular Europa now Eurabia. But i am confident ,Jews being smart and having an instinct of survival will sooner or later come to reason.
15. Two face to a Nation!
AVouskila ,   South America   (12.23.13)
Now, I am no religious Jew, I like the Jewish Culture, and reading the different stories emanating from Israel to-day, one cannot help but see the difference in "environment" one is brought up.Now, we're not going to generalise, but the story of the poor little girl (12years old but "psycholagically large "what the hell does it mean?!) raped but teenager hooligans some of whom been called by an out of this planete laywer "good boys", and the modest respond of Mr Yagur when he was told that he is a Hero; his response:"I am no hero, God help me to be alive" I respect his wishes to be considered just doing his job, to the best of his ability. Where are we going to see those little criminals in few years time?! Its a black mark on the education that does not imbibes the civic obligation one has in a society at large, without God or with the help of God.
16. If there is a hero to this story
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.23.13)
it is the person that warned the bus driver. The driver himself was incorrect to wait till the next bus stop. He should have stopped the bus and gotten all of the passengers off immediately, not delayed for a moment.
17. The driver is correct , he's NOT an hero
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.23.13)
Warning a bus driver that there is a suspect bag isn't an act of heroism either . He did what he had to do . Such incidents happen often , mostly without any damage . A forgotten bag , piece of luggage , is common here . The hero's are those who disable those suspect things , they risk their life
18. ORA - Israeli already is a non-Jewish state
Jo Jo ,   London   (12.24.13)
Most "normal" Israelis are just like Charles - non-Jewish Jews. There is nothing Jewish about Israel. It has some Jewish citizens. That's all. Yet it has the gall to proclaim to the world it is the worlds' only "Jewish" state. How much longer will God allow this travesty to go on? The Israeli Zionist enterprise has made the Holyland a profane and sullied place. They continue to believe in their experiment and continue sacrifice their youth. The Haredim will not pay for their ill fated adventure.
