1. Sue the european countries
Marucho ,   Bs.Aires Argentina   (06.13.14)
In case this is an abduction of her citizens, Israel should sue the european countries and the U.S. for funding terrorist movements that harm the citizens of Israel. When will these pitiful countries press the arabs instead of doing so only on Israel?
2. My Sincere Thoughts And Prayers
(06.13.14)
Go out to the Imma and Abba of these Boys, may Ha Shem bring them home safe and sound with the assistance of the IDF, Shin Bet and Mossad!!! Shabbat Shalom/ Baruch Ha Shem
3. Settlers
We are all Israelis   (06.13.14)
Ynet's favourite word All the rest of Israeli citizens hate it. We are all parents of these boys Except Ynet of course Safe and speedy return home to our youngsters, the sons of (almost) all of us.
4. the kidnapped boys
Chana Sarah Levin ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.13.14)
Who cares if these boys came from the Shomron? Why does that word "settler" help us feel more or less pain because Jewish children are now in the hands of our enemy. It could happen anywhere, even Tel Aviv. We need achdut, especially in time of war. Please stop your inflammatory war of words. It is not good for Israel. We are all ONE!
5. Already our "information terrorists" in the Israeli media
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.13.14)
are spinning this against Netanyahu. This is unbelievable! These people should be behind bars long time ago.
6. The "soldiers" of the Hamas-Fatah new government kidnap
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (06.13.14)
Jewish youth and then they expect us to hand over to them more and more real estate. We say: Never Again!!
7. Settler teens
Bruce ,   Efrat, Israel   (06.13.14)
How many times can one article minimize an act of terrorism by simply referring to Israeli teens as "Settler" teens. What in the world is the difference between Israeli teens and Settler teens? Are the settler teens somehow less Israeli? Is the kidnapping somewhat mitigated by the fact that they live over the green line? Stop the madness! They're kidnapped Israelis!!!
8. enough
james ,   nyny   (06.13.14)
Is enough, if they are found to be taken, its time for citizens to take an "eye for an eye" attitude. Do we really feel the ME is turning into a safer place to live. Maybe its time to take a more offensive instead of defensive stance.
9. all israeli youth must take self defense courses
arieh   (06.13.14)
all israeli youth have to take self defence courses. They have to be able to defend themselves.
10. Why call them settlers? They're Jews like any other!
Bezalel ,   Chicago   (06.13.14)
It is very grave and tragic that even among ourselves (Jews) we use a vocable that has, in the eyes of the nations, negative connotations (as in: "Oh he's a "settler", so he called for trouble". Is is tragic, no matter what part of the political or religious spectrum you are. The bottom line is, Jews went missing and we need to all feel extra unity and responsibility to bring them back.
11. 3 boys
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (06.13.14)
May Hashem protect them and may they return home before Shabbos in good health.
12. Bibi to Blame
Robert Jacobs ,   USA - ISRAEL   (06.13.14)
Bibi's released of the Arab terrorist as part of the so called Peace Process is the cause of the kidnappings. Bibi should immediately dismiss Tzippi Livni and release the Jews sitting in prison for so called nationalistic crimes. This should include the Jews from Bat Ayin who have have been kept in prison since 2001. Ami Popper who has been sitting in prison since 1990 before Oslo should also be releasaed
13. An American citizen?
steve from raleigh   (06.13.14)
Expect even less help from Obama. They're probably talking to the terrorists as we speak.
14. Even Reuters calls them 3 Jewish Teens
Rod ,   Fago N.Dakota   (06.13.14)
Yet Ynet chooses to to dehumanize them and call them settlers.
15. I forgot
James ,   USA   (06.13.14)
Issue an arrest warrant for Abbas. If Livini objects, arrest her for treason. The Palestinians have crossed the line and it is time to pay for their sins. They should be afraid, very afraid.
16. Pray for them everyone!
koose e mack ,   ny usa   (06.13.14)
May Hashem protect and guard these precious souls from any harm. My empathy and sympathy to the families...and may Hashem restore them to you in good health. Chass ve shalom should anything happen to them...vengeance should be swift and fierce. It's the only thing these scumbag Terrorists understand. For every Jewish Soul, martyr a thousand Terrorists. Let them have there seventy two virgins today!!!
17. No Hollywood hashtags for "settler" boys
Dan ,   NJ, USA   (06.13.14)
By referring to the kidnapped students as "settlers," the media dehumanizes them and brands them with a pejorative label. You can be sure that Michelle Obama and the Hollywood elites won't be parading in front of cameras with placards reading #BringBackOurBoys. Ynet should remove the word "settler" from the headline immediately.
18. Cellphone
Toby   (06.13.14)
If they had time, they should turned of cellphone volume hid a cellphone in their shoe, or if forced into a car, quickly slipped one under the front seat, dropped it on the floor or shoved it between the seats. With a cellphone turned on, the car location can be pinpointed.
19. #1 Always down to money isn't it?
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (06.13.14)
20. #6 Except of course
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (06.13.14)
there is no proof that they have been kidnapped. Just as likely at this time to be enjoying the pleasure of the ladies of the night in Tel Aviv
21. #7 Actually
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (06.13.14)
One of them is an American
22. #9 Fully agree
Ivor Evenbiggergun   (06.13.14)
However these three boys were either American or settlers
23. We pray for their safe return.
Elisheva Wolf ,   Israel   (06.13.14)
24. Better fast.
(06.13.14)
25. American citizen among missing, possibly kidnapped settlers
eli ,   USA   (06.13.14)
One would expect a headline like this from the NEW YORK TIMES!
26. now would be a good time
alsky ,   toornto   (06.13.14)
to transfer the Arabs back home.
27. Obama could help
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (06.13.14)
Let Obama pick up the phone and tell Abbas and the head of Hamas that he wants the 3 boys found and released immediately. Obama is very good at pressuring Israel. Let's see him put some pressure on the Arabs.
28. Kidnapped Yehsiva Boys
JUDAH THE LION ,   LION OF JUDAH   (06.13.14)
Israel should give the PA stern warning that the three boys should be released imm without precondition, failing to do this. Israel will take the leaders of the PA until thge boys release. Any harm to the boys, Israel will give the PA hard time, no electricity, no water, curfew, and Israel will take thousands of Palestinians to Israeli jail until they release the Jewish boys.
29. settlers
mishmish ,   israel   (06.13.14)
Apart from this horrific situation, I don't understand why you all talkbackers gets nervous with the term " settlers teens" ? Teens they are. And their parents choose to raise them in what is called "settlements". So yes. Teens settlers seems an appropriate designation. And who said they are less israelis than other teens? The fact remains that they are brought up in settlements. And that means : Big Troubles!!
30. American citizens
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (06.13.14)
Most of these settlers are Americans so nothing surprising here. Maybe if these settlers weren't on a land they stole in the first place that would not have happened. I just hope the settlers will realise we waste our money on them.
