1. Ridiculous ! The Arabs did it just so
DT ,   TA Israel   (11.17.14)
they could blame Israel
2. Bus driver found hanged
connie mack ,   camden   (11.17.14)
Many of these crises will disappear once the K'nesset closes down Yisrael Hayom.
3. Plaestinian Statehood: No one seems to know
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (11.17.14)
Is it 1. 2 States: Israel and Independent Palestine on the West Bank 2. 3 States: Israel and Independent Palestine on the West Bank and Independent Gaza 3. 2 States: Israel and united Palestine in Gaza and West Bank 4. 1999 Plan: Israel and Expanded Gaza from Negev Territory in Land Exchange with Israel for West Bank plus additional Territory in Sinai purchased from Israel Which is it to be? This is not a decision that Politicians can make on their own The choices have to be put to Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza and the Diaspora in a Referendum now Called Democracy I believe?
4. why does the Forensics Institute have a....
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (11.17.14)
..... have a foreign-language name? Let it have a decent Hebrew name.
5. the israeli police
rm ,   amsterdam NL   (11.17.14)
would be advised tot get to the bottom of this as soon and as transparent as possible. Situation is already volatile enough as it is
6. #5 do you honestly think it makes a difference?
(11.17.14)
they already decided that he was murdered, no evidence to the contrary would change it.
7. Yeah sure
James ,   Canada   (11.17.14)
Just like Israel first said that live fire wasn't used by its soldiers when the 2 Palestinian teens were shot dead on film during Nakba day protests. Oops! Oh and when Israelis first claimed that the arab kid from East Jerusalem was burned alive in a clan dispute or because he was gay. Oops again! So tell me, how are we supposed to believe anything the Israelis say?
8. James from Canada
Emmy ,   Someplace   (11.18.14)
And pray tell, who also discovered the information was wrong? is it not the same Israelis that corrected their initial statements and gave you ammunition that you are using here. If they wanted to lie why bother investigating and bringing out the truth? In this case the autopsy was done at a reputable forsenic institute with a PA doc in attendance. Unless in your conspiracy theory, the PA doc was also bought by the evil joooss!
9. He hanged himself
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.18.14)
Who is to say why? But no matter how distraught his family may be because of his untimely demise, blaming Israel and Jews is not the answer. They need to understand that something was painful enough in his life to cause him to see no way out. Families are largely responsible for that. Or for not seeing the pain and doing something about it. Wrap up your grief and move on. Your beloved son - husband - father - in-law - took his own life. You are the ones in the best position to ask why. Lashing out against the Jewish people in your pain may make you feel better, but it's a short-term bandaid because deep in your hearts, you should have seen this coming. Plus, if anyone acts upon the incitement you are fomenting, you will be held responsible. Now go home and work on the fact that your beloved one committed suicide, and work on why. Stop blaming the Jews for all your misfortunes, just once. Can't you do that? Or do you prefer to live in perpetual denial?
10. what should have been mentioned but wasn't
Jake ,   Jerusalem   (11.18.14)
was that the Arab Egged bus drivers did not come to work on that day, effectively making a work strike. So we in Jerusalem had to do with much less buses. Also it was not mentioned in the foreign press that a large number of Arabs work as equals in Egged driving buses (meaning NO discrimination). Let us see how the Arabs treat the Jewish workers, ha, we Jews can not even go onto an Arab bus let alone work for them. Were are the bleeding heart liberal Human Rights groups?
11. #7 you're totally right.
(11.18.14)
I guess arabs should just riot and exact revenge you know... just in case. It just so happen that we're in luck, since they've been doing that anyway. no need to even bring in new slogans. just use the old familiars: Shahid, Itbakh il yahud, the usuals...
12. I can't believe he commited suicide without killing Jews too
Salim   (11.18.14)
13. Another common factor
(11.18.14)
in this times antidepressants are very common and popular to use. Some people are given them even for migraines and research shows there is a huge amount of people driven to suicide from the medicines. They are not themselves and the restlessness is so deep. It is a shame but it is true.
