1. Now what i*diocy is that?
Mira ,   Vienna   (12.24.13)
Doesn't this dummie know that it is the Palestinians and especially Hamas who want to kill the peace negotiations?A whole army went in revenge of him, these Arabs aren't really worth the effort!
2. Shame for making this criticism
NeverSatisfiedNever ,   Jerusalem Israel   (12.24.13)
May the man killed rest in peace but here we see once again there will never be peace with the Palestinians Beduins or Israeli Arabs unless we completely aquiese to all their demands , what they really want is our suicide shame on these so called citizens for making remarks like this at such a time Israel and the Jew as usual in their eyes will always be the blamn
3. He Was A Hero
Steve Feuerstein ,   NYC   (12.24.13)
Bedouin or not, he was a hero for the Jewish people and those of other faiths living faithfully in the Land of Israel.
4. Typical of Israeli arabs' mind
israeli ,   Beersheba   (12.24.13)
They don't blame Gazans (many of whom are their relatives. Yes, many Negev Bedouin intermarried with Gazans and Westbankers). They blame us because we refuse to surrender before their nazist and omicidal brethren. I am sorrowful for this poor youth, but you don't have the right to blame us. Send a letter to your relatives, so that they stop their attacks.
5. THE JEWS FAULT
....DACON9   (12.24.13)
The JEWS fault that this arab was killed by his ACHI, HIS OWN ARAB BROTHERS. It wasnt the arab that shot his brother. I dont celebrate his death and I dont wish him to rest in peace. HE IS A RESULT OF HIS OWN PHILOSOPHY.. only wearing sheeps clothing for the hour
6. Sorry for this death. Israel must stop to be weak !
David ,   Raanana   (12.24.13)
7. Dear family-dont let yr grief cloud yr judgement
Alan ,   SA   (12.24.13)
8. Blame the shooter
Wade ,   NYC USA   (12.24.13)
first and foremost. Then examine whether appropriate precautions were taken- like bulletproof vest and armed guards. Perhaps they need a temporary bulletproof screen to protect the workers on the border.
9. #1 Mira
Michael ,   Haifa   (12.24.13)
Clearly your respect for human life is a matter of ethnicity
10. May he rest in peace. May Gaza vanish from the earth.
David ,   Hartford USA   (12.24.13)
The gun that killed him was loaded, aimed, and fired by a Muslim terrorist who thought he was killing a Jew. Netanyahu had nothing to do with this- Islamic hatred for Jews and Israel had everything to do with it. The only response is to eradicate the terrorists and fortify the fence. A bus bomb, a stabbing, a sniper attack, all in a week. Please do not tell us there is no third intifada- it's already here. Wake up and respond accordingly. Gaza should be burning for days for this atrocity.
11. # 9 Michael - And you are what - Mother Teresa?
Eyal ,   Israel   (12.24.13)
"Clearly your respect for human life is a matter of ethnicity" And yours isn't? Arabs steal our land and history and attack our country and attack our soldiers and civilians, then they shoot at an unfortunate Arab working on the fence. The Arab man was avenged by the IDF and yet the Arab man's relatives still blame Israel and not the Arab shooter because there is a stalemate in the negotiations - as if it was Israel's fault and as if Israel has an automatic obligation to sacrifice its existence as a Jewish state to cater to the racist anti-Semitic feelings of Israel's Fifth Column - the Israeli Arabs. Israel shouldn't have avenged the Arab man, and Israel shouldn't even allow Arabs to live in Israel. What Israel should have done a very long time ago is to expel the Arabs from the entire land of Israel between the river Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea.
12. Very Unfortunate - Need to have better protection
Meir Elazar   (12.24.13)
My sympathies to his family. I don't see why appropriate protection measures were not in place including body armor and a protective shield that could have easily been deployed between him and the sniper. A portable crane could have secured some form of shield over and on the other side of the fence to obstruct view and properly shield him from fire.
13. @10 right, but you failed to also mention the rocket fire
(12.24.13)
on Ashkelon.
14. Eyal you are lost
John ,   USA   (12.24.13)
Israel is doing everything you accuse the Palestinians of doing to you. Any student of history and observer of the present knows this. As an American who formerly supported Israel based on the propaganda campaign perpetuated by zionists I suggest you learn to acquiesce with your neighbors. Your continued bellicose rhetoric will only serve to alienate more Americans like me as we learn the truth of what is actually happening in Palestine. Make peace while you can. You're grip on the land depends on your access to better weapons, and you get those weapons from my nation, and I can tell you - the internet has opened the reality of the ethnic cleansing campaign that Israel currently wages toward many open minds who understand that this type of behavior is wrong always. And our sympathy toward your "cause" is beginning to run thin. Try and ethnically cleanse the rest of Palestine and I assure you it will be the end of Israel; make peace now and your nation could survive in perpetuity. I hope you become wise for many of your earthly masters in the USA no longer concern themselves with your illusion of divinity over Palestine.
15. Every Israeli is sad for this man. The response by the army
Adi ,   Zurich   (12.24.13)
Every Israeli is sad for this man. The response by the army against Gaza is already a sign of how much he meant to the country.
16. #14 Actually, John the Baptist,
(12.24.13)
17. 14
jonathan ,   adelaide/Israel   (12.24.13)
Americans like you can go and jump.Any student of history- and you are not-will tell the opposite to your nonsense.Ethnic cleansing?You are an ignorant fool.
18. Stop blaming the PM !
Jules   (12.24.13)
That's exactly what the Arabs want: to create a nervous atmosphere in the society, in order to provoke elections and change the current government to a bunch of "peace-making" leftists.
19. Stop distorting the true facts.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (12.24.13)
John, israel is the only true ally the United States has in the middle east. Israeli weapons systems are eagerly sought by the United States military. Get your facts straight and stop being a Jew hater!
20. Look at the care and speed the soldiers performed to evacuat
Adi ,   Zurich   (12.24.13)
Look at the care and speed the soldiers performed to evacuate him. See the video. They cared for him like a brother. His religion is not relevant. He was citizen of Israel
21. @14 John, is it ?
deavman ,   Akko   (12.24.13)
I doubt it. It probably is Jo'ad or Jamal or even Jabbar. In any case your attempt to pass for an american failed. Your(notice "r" and not "'re") patronizing is pathetic and will not convince anyone here. Your version of history is what the Arab propaganda is trying to force down the throat of other Americans and people of Europe and only the ones with anti-Jewish hatred swallow it. Some with no actual interest in the issue will believe as well. But any one with a modicum of skepticism will throw it out like the garbage that it is. Time for the 'Isha, don't be late.
22. #14 Actually, John the Baptist
A ,   Belgium   (12.24.13)
your "sympathy" for the so called "cause" is not wanted and not needed. You believe "zionists" are pumping out propaganda? You yourself are a victim of the hatred and lies that the "palestinians" are so successful at convincing simple, mindless sheep as yourself. Believe the lie of the non existant "palestine" if you so wish, but don't pretend to be all knowing by denying the Jewish people THEIR right to live in peace in THEIR homeland. Read what Abbas has said about the "ethnically cleansed palestine", ethnically cleansed of JEWS. And the "earthly masters in the USA" (which you presume to be the earthly masters of Israel) are nothing more than a band of misfits and losers trying to regain the prestige that they have lost to a true, albeit brutal, statesman like Putin. Nice try at hiding your blantant hatred, but you failed. As did your president and his poodle- in- waiting Kerry.
23. The family members of the Israeli Bedouin citizen killed
A ,   Belgium   (12.24.13)
are justified in blaming Bibi the Weak for their loss. Gaza should have been napalmed long ago.
24. Arabs need perpetual bloodshed to justify Greater Arabia
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.25.13)
25. #'s 17, 21 and 22, you prove my point
John ,   USA   (12.25.13)
First, 21 is that really all you can come up with? I must not be American because I used apostrophe re instead of r in a message I typed in 2 minutes? Pathetic. 17 - You are in denial. Complete and utter denial. I hope you wake up. And number 22 - you need my sympathy more than you realize. You need the weapons my country provides - and if enough Americans change their minds about supporting Israel then the weapons - which allow you your illusion of divinity - will be withdrawn. Yes, the USA is Israels earthly master. Without us she doesn't exist. Remember that. Sure, the arabs put out plenty of propaganda. As do the zionists. Any person with a modicum of objectivity understands this. Neither side can change historical facts. You can rewrite history in your own mind - but you can't change reality. Did you find any out of place apostrophes in this message number 21? ;-) Best of luck.
26. NATO enters Gaza & transfers ForeignArabs to Mecca for Peace
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.25.13)
27. #25, an irrelevant point cannot be proven
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (12.25.13)
28. Dear John...
deavman ,   Akko   (12.25.13)
No, not just the apostrophe but the overall writing style and the quaint use of certain words. In any case you understand nothing about what Zionism is trying to turn it into an insult. As for the US being Israel's master, it is quite ironic since the likes of you keep parroting the claim that the Jews control everything and especially the US. So make up your mind, if you have one.
29. Bravo IDF !
Matt ,   Canada   (12.25.13)
Barvo,,, the most typical revenge was killing a 3 years old girl, wounding 3 of her brothers in Central Gaza !! seriously !! Bravo Clap Clap Clap Clap
30. Give poor Bibi a rest: he's still trying to wiggle his way
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.25.13)
out of being responsible for the unusual snow storms and the havoc they've caused. Peace process can wait...another 1000 years.
