15 Talkbacks for this article
1. The lesson
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.03.14)
Every phone call to Police must be taken seriously. Prank calls should be severely punished monetarily or sentenced to jail. We can't afford such an outcome again because of police negligence.
2. good forensics & analysis.all facts will eventually be known
Rafi ,   US   (07.03.14)
... but unfortunately it won't do the 3 boys any good. It might however help others in the future...
3. so the police lied to us
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (07.03.14)
we were told the boy only said something like 'help, we are kidnapped' and the dispatcher and her superior delayed investigation for 4 hours. Now it comes out that they hear the entire message and that they did not act and that they falsified its content. I think an investigation into the police practices is definitely necessary to find out exactly who is GUILTY and RESPONSIBLE in the police for the obstruction of justice and the falsification of facts. This is no longer a slip up on the part of the police but a total and concentrated coverup. Not only should heads roll, but jail sentence is in order for those who did not do their job. A total disregard for the public welfare by those who are entrusted to care for it!
4. EASY to fix this problem
Vered, Israel   (07.03.14)
Too many of the police here are lazy and stupid, but even the ones who are fit for the job are not trained properly in crime fighting. A national delegation needs to spend 6 months getting trained in the US in crime solving techniques, and in procedural policies. This is a national emergency, only made worse by refusing to be embarrassed and admit it. We need help!
5. Yoav ignored the incompetence for years
Jhan   (07.03.14)
The talk-backers have been telling you journo-shmournos about what happens on the ground, but you've chosen to be poodles to the elites. Now that those murderer-releasing terrorist-negotiator elites need to blame down the chain onto the police, you discover they are incompetent. What a joke you people are.
6. Danino is to be fired ...he is a grossly incompetent baffoon
Al   (07.03.14)
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to note the obvious. What is the use of the 911 service if it is not being followed through? When a Police Force is being used as a political tool, it loses its efficacy. This Danino is to be fired and replaced by professional Police people who will clean house and restore the Police Service to a professional service. Till such time, expect more of the same.
7. i already knew the israeli police were useless
david ,   new york   (07.03.14)
police brutality is rampant and corruption is the rule. they are too busy riding horses over settlers heads to care about actually doing their job
8. the boys
rm ,   NL Amsterdam   (07.03.14)
were doomed the moment they entered the car. but if the police had reacted more dilligently the murderers probably would have been arrested fairly soon thereafter..which would have saved a lot of misery for everyone. I still cannot believe the whole phonecall is published zo broadly....It's absolutely horrible even if you don't speak the language
9. Negligence
Leon ,   Portland, USA   (07.03.14)
The police departments throughout Israel are arrogant and incompetent. The officers involved need to be charged with negligent homicide. They are just as much to blame as Hamas and they should have known better.
10. Who does profite the crime?
כל הכבוד ישראל   (07.03.14)
Easy to understand that Israel is the only one profiting from this crime. That smells like a big set up just in time to sabotage the Hamas-Fatah deal
11. Don't these stupid terrorists know that they will go to hell
(07.03.14)
"God bless you hands"? Give me a break. If these people believe in a god. ANY god - the god of the Muslims, Jews, Christians (which is supposed to be the same god, by the way), the god of any other religion. If these stupid terrorists believe in a god then they should have realized that killing of innocent people will send them straight to HELL. It doesn't matter if their victims were settlers, Zionists, Jews or Chinese. There's no excuse WHATSOEVER of deliberately killing another human being who haven't threatened your life. So it's really amazing that these animals think that taking the lives of 3 young boys would make them blessed by god, and it's also really sad because it reflects the low level of moral development of the people we Israelias have to deal with.
12. police incompetence?
(07.03.14)
Who incited against "settlers" including with the "price tag" blood libel, hinting that boys could be targeted? Who gave Fatah and Hamas arms and territory so the kidnapping could be done? Who released murderers from jail, declaring that kidnap and murder of Jews will not be punished. It was not police incompetence that killed the boys, it was incompetent governments that listen to corrupt Leftist activists.
13. Was the I am being kidnapped in English or Hebrew RIGHT ???
M.S. ,   mpls america   (07.03.14)
I tryed to listen to the recording the police made of the nearly Two 2 minute conversation they had with One 1 of the boys and so hearing the killers but I am sorry other than the police HELLO being repeated in...

I need... rescue... if you... rescue me... I will pay GOLD a lot of GOLD... I just hope you do... and so... before it is too late... RIGHT ??? Thank you... M.S.
14. Criminal cops
Hammer   (07.03.14)
Israeli police is involved in unspeakable criminal act of neglecting boys emergency call, a desperate call for help from teens they supposed to protect and defend. Police chief is famous for his foreign trips. What he’s doing abroad? Training foreign cops how to take emergency calls? He and his subordinates should be charged as a witnesses and collaborators with the enemy by no acting and neglecting the duty. Unfortunately we know what to expect from HAMAS, and we know what NOT to expect from Israeli cops. For the time being, if you in trouble in Israel, call you friends and family first, somebody who cares about you. Police won’t come and won’t care. Israeli institutions are rotten to the core. Hevrat Kadisha has monopoly to decide what to do with the dead bodies and Police is helping enemies to get more dead Jewish bodies. The country needs a social revolution long ago. Good start would be criminal charges against Aharonovich, Danino and Co. for assisting the enemy.
15. # 10 believes Netanyahu his GENERALS did this triple murder
M.S. ,   mpls america   (07.03.14)
# 10 you really believe it was all thought up planned enginiered carryed out to the letter by Netanyahu HIS GENERALS so they had a good valid excuse to attack the Hamas El Fatah P A unity deal that is pretty sick but with such PERFECT timing to look like that you would see it that way BUT MAY BE the Arabs the killers who did it knew it would look that way RIGHT ??? give the Arabs credit for having some brains now HAMAS can say LOOK LOOK LOOK what Netanyahu HIS GENERALS would do... to start a war against Hamas to break up the unity deal... but think it all you want you are entitled to your own opinion # 10 and so no doubt a lot of others around the world see it that way also too Jews looking like Arabs and or may be they just hired Two 2 Arabs to do it $ Three 3 million dollars easily may buy Two 2 Arabs to kill Three 3 Jews RIGHT any way I just hope it escalates but so far no escalation usual riots protests stone throwing tires burned houses demolished but no escalation I just hope to save them selfs from DOOM no less world leaders must M U S T MUST and so again must escalate... no less... and so... before it is too late... RIGHT ??? Thank You... M.S.
