Hamas wants to kill jews and to force jews to do nothing against it. There is no need to give them what they want.

the weak response of bibi and livni blocking yaalon's recommendation means its ok to kidnap and kill jews. Yaalon says he doesn't want a war. Well you'll get a big one if you don't rip out the filthy cancer sitting in gaza. Set a plan, wait and launch. and fire land based rockets into gazans to equalize terror

Yes.I agree with the author. I remember well the old intifada days.They were not good.People should try to live together. (And not be carried out by emotions)

"There's no need to give them what they want" So do we have to wait until they give us more of what we don't want? These savages only understand their own language, and that is murder and mayhem. But I do get your attitude, after all the jewish way is we like peace, we chase peace, but how well did that work for us historically? As hitler was rising the jews where yelling at anyone who tried pointing out what kinda animal he is. Can't we ever learn from history? Right now the world is ignoring the real ISIS threat, and most people here seem to think that ignoring hamas is the best option, shame on you, you are stepping on the blood of all those jews who perished by not learning from history. God bless Israel!

"Those who kidnapped and killed the Israeli teens sought to inflame the situation. There's no need to give them what they want" I have never read a more absurd opening line! It's people like this that are allowing terrorism to fester, it's people like this that, in addition to Hamas and the PA have the blood of these boys dripping from their hands. Stop living in a delusional world and think that you have the answer to making peace with these animals. as long as there are people like you, there will be people (or animals) like them. Ynet should be ashamed to publish such an op-ed.

ignorance is bliss. until it comes out to bite you in the @ss. By and large, the muslims living in israel are born and bred and educated to hate and destroy israel if you choose to ignore the fact and look only at one day of quiet you may fool yourself for that day but to say that this reflects any aspect of the reality on the ground is willingly going blind

Sorry to say but you have to read Bible Prophecy and look at the BIG PICTURE. You have to come out of the building to see the whole structure. I love your people simply because you are the people of our Jesus Christ.

I totally agree to Ben Dror`s opinion that there is no need for revenge . Rather find a way to stop the cycle of brutal and insane hatred and find ways to speak to each other and most important, isolate the extremists by making the live of the common palestinian life worthwile. When the nothing to loose situation improves, then extermists have not much ground left to operate.

You can spin your delusional and wishfull observations anyway you wish. I live in the area and can tell you-we do not coexist peacefully. We simply restrain ourselves from doing what we would really like to do to each other. This applies to both sides. I will remind you that this area was purchased by a Jew before the founding of the State. Do you know that all of the Arabs I spoke with during the 18 days, thought that this was just a shtick Israel created in order to crack down on the Palestinians? None of them beleived that their people actually did this heinous act? We will never coexist-take that to the bank.

acts af bored individuals, wishing to disrupt the numbing calm & peace. We have to look to cafeterias and supermarkets for answers and not dwell on these sporadic acts of unruly Arab youth. Let's have more of the Yeminis and there'll be no need to write such articles at all...

as long as the author is in israel I WILL NOT GO T SPEND A DOLLAR. No vacations No investments .......NOTHING..... Israel will never improve , will never be free from terror as long as tpeople like this writer exists.... I WILL WAIT FOR MASHIACH, TO GATHER ME..NOT BEFORE... I hope the writer runs out of toilet paper

If I want j-street,I can go to their web site. What's with y-net? Has George Soros bought you out too?

when they are not your kids you can play the grand peacemaker..you are a weak little man with a big mouth

DAYS after this so called Unity, Hamas direct a kidnapping ending in cold blooded murder, the West Bank in Lock Down, the West Bank Economy in Melt Down Whilst Fancy Boy Mashaal announces 'his hands are clean' and the same time glorifying the murderers And whilst people in Gaza are suffering...along comes Fancy Boy to instigate more rocket attacks to PILE ON THE MISERY Oh....And now we see a new 'kid on the block' Doctor Doctor Mr Coiffered Besuited Sound Bite Barghouti who has no idea how to conduct a sensible Interview on TV...just liberally sprinkling words like racist, apartheid in any context to make some sort of point or other is hollow, embarrassing, comical, carries no weight or substance Is THIS the new face of the Technocratic Palestinian Unity?

my comment was too long to put here, so I posted it here: http://israelisoldiersmother.blogspot.co.il/2014/07/ben-dror-yemini-what-heck.html

Three teenagers, not soldiers, teenagers- dead. Shot to death, bodies abused, then buried. This was not something to 'break the calm.' This is modern day Islam as taught by the PA. You can't call for the removal of Israel for 40 years and not have it have an effect on the population. The sociopathic mother of one of the killers is 'so proud' of her son! Only Muslims think this way, not Christians, not Jews, not anybody, just Muslims. Why? Because killing Jews is a goal specified in the Quran. Killing infidels in general and Jews in particular is a pillar of Islamic teaching, and the PA 'education ministry' hasn't missed a beat for decades. Hamas 'summer camps' show toddlers with guns and suicide vests! What kind of psychopaths has Haniyeh created? And Abbas made Hamas partners with the PA? No, Benny. You are terribly wrong. These jihadist murderers must be caught and put to death. Anything less invites repeat performances. Didn't you see the hundreds of Arabs with that sickening '3-finger' salute? Didn't you read of the Muslim medical student at the Technion that tweeted '3 goals without playing!' and showed pictures of the boys? He should be expelled and sent to finish his medical training in Syria or Iraq. He must NEVER be allowed to practice medicine on Jews. Benny, you really need to think twice about what you say. Your attitude shows that you just don't get it. When the local 5th-column Muslims come knocking on your door at 3 in the morning, holding the ISIS banner, they won't care that you told everyone to 'tone it down'- they'll slit your throat as easily as they take a sh-t. For the sake of Israel, wake up and stop sounding so damn foolish.

Jobbik doesn't like Muslims and Jesus was a Jew. You have already publicly thanked "Allah" for your Pakistani brothers that helped with the Bosnia flooding. Jobbik claims to be Christian but the Christian Bible CLEARLY teaches that Israel is, and will always be, God's chosen. One can't follow Christ (Messiah) without following Israel's God, because Messiah is a part of God. You've got a rainbow on your Facebook page. You are really confused !!

So what - if the area on which you live was purchased by a Jew?? Are you inferring that that gives you a right to live there, any more less that if it had been purchased by a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist or person of any other faith?

-"same back and worse back " !. I Quote - Teens' murder was an attack against the calm Op-ed: Those who kidnapped and killed the Israeli teens sought to inflame the situation. There's no need to give them what they want. Comment - Idiocy !. To sitt idle and take stick after stick will lead to death by bleeding Arn.Sweden.

100% of the time, reality proves Leftist opinions wrong. Instead of making the sane conclusion that they should rethink their opinions, the Leftist keep spouting their nonsense. There was no calm. After receiving the maximum concessions he could from Netanyahu, Abbas blew up negotiations to avoid declaring an end of conflict. After he saw that Obama and Israel's Left blamed Netanyahu, Abbas made a coalition with Hamas to stabilize his position and prepare his legacy. When Israel's justice department, senior ministers and IDF (led by Livni) started delegitimizing settlers with the "Price Tag" blood libel, Hamas took it as a green light for a terror attack to topple Netanyahu and install a weaker PM like Livni.

based on age old dessert hatred, called the koran. Throughout the ages there have been calm spells for jews, though the bottmline is that non-jews never stop to hate us and will always fall back on their beloved utchering of jews. The will continue to do such as long as they do not really have to pay a price for this thanks to poeple like the writer. THEY WILL NOT STOP, UNLESS WE STOP THEM.

the calm in which Israelis in and outside the green line pretend that all is peachy, no worries. And the palestinians still have to face daily arrest raids, checkpoints, landconfiscation and the occassional death of protesters...always accidental ofcourse....that's NOT really CALM is it?

Kudos, Paula Stern. Good answer to an ostrich with his head firmly planted in the sand.

Does this give you right to live there? and pay millions of shekels for a tiny appartment? You really think you are safe? We will see in the future

I totally agree with the author. Unfortunately, many Jews both in Israel and in the Diaspora still keep this ghetto mentality, for which any such crime is just a short prelude before an all-out attack against the whole powerless Jewish people. In result, their rational thinking is suppressed by fear and panic. The only solution they see is an immediate forceful response against "all them". In reality, Israel is a powerful state, which is not going to be seriously threaten by Hamas or Islamic Jihad. No state in this world is able to provide complete security to all its citizens. However powerful US are, they could not prevent 11/09, nor they could protect the stuff at their embassy in Libya. Such things happen and should be managed smartly. A smart thing to do in this case is to go after those guys directly responsible for the murder, even if it takes time, and not to punish the population randomly just because "they hate us". One should make a careful distinction between those who "support Hamas" by words while sitting in front of their TV screens, and those actually ready to take a Kalashnikov and kill. A random punishment converts quiet haters into murderous ones, while smart and precise targeting eliminates the real danger. No wonder if the perpetrators of this crime are actually counting on the "strong" Israeli response.

You missed the point # 9 is making. Jews bought the land, Jews live on the land. The Palestinians have no right to claim the land # 9 lives on....because that land was bought by Jews & owned by Jews. Understand?

No evidence of teens murders. No bodies = fake.

Pull the other leg, it's got bells on it. Fake, shmake, go play with your tin soldiers, leave the adults alone.

Attack was against humans. its called murder, you dummy. Get your head out of your butt and look at reality. You over intellectualize to the point where you are morally incompetent.
