1. Yes ...

Jews build. Arabs destroy. This is not news. What a lovely family, the Aramis. Stands to reason that thuggish Arabs would want to destroy that -- they always destroy that which escapes their mindset. Which is pretty much everything. Construction companies -- beware whom you hire. Probably best not to hire Arabs at all. My most heartfelt condolences to the Arami family. And may only evil things happen to the families of his murderers. The families of his murderers should be taken out of the gene pool. Disgusting creatures. Blow up their homes and send them packing to Gaza. Let not their filth pollute our land any longer.
2. now, get the perpetrators...

we are waiting for justice...
3. More proof that Arabs should not be given employment
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.26.14)
in Israel.
4. Where were his spotters?
yosef eytan ,   Eilat   (11.26.14)
From the article, all of his men left him working on his own. Why was it not his policy, owning the company, to insure that someone was always there to insure his safety, watching his lines, assisting if necessary. Very poor safety precautions in light of the Fifth Column within. His coworkers abandoned him.
5. WTF?!?!
Frank ,   USA   (11.26.14)
Really? A poor guy with a nice looking family just doing his job? And murdered in a cowardly way (he was TOTALLY defenseless). I don't have a dog in the Israel/Palestine fight. It isn't my country or land. But I do have friends there and care for their well being (Jews and Arabs). Nevertheless, there is a BIG difference between saying you are "resisting an occupation" and going after a military target. Not simply murdering an innocent guy trying to provide for his family. It is not as if he was a solider rappelling on a scouting mission or something similar. That's not "resistance" or even really terror. It's murder, plain and simple. And a cowardly one at that.
6. Tragic death
Jon ,   Bat Shelomo, Israel   (11.26.14)
I, myself, have some experiences in rappelling, mostly in US Army Rotc. What bothers me is why Armai was working alone after his team in their vehicles were waiting for him to finish the work. First, 2 most important basic safety rules in rappelling were neglected: A) rappeler is never left alone and always in sight of rappelling team. B) 2 persons are required at the site of rappelling rope: 1st is spotter at the top of rappelling rope/anchor to relay any problems to the rappeller and protect the rope from damage or safety problems, and 2nd acts as the "belay" may perform emergency braking actions if required and protects the rappeller from the bottom of rappelling site. another minor safety rule is a safety rope outside next to main rappelling rope. OK, about type of cut and location of cut on rappelling rope: if the cut is frayed, then it has many causes; if the cut is clean on both of 2 rappelling ropes, then it is very serious..someone may have cut the rope with sharp knife or there was an hidden sharp object along rope route. If cut was above Arami z"l, someone may have grabbed the rope from a window and cut it with very sharp knife. Then, it is act of murder or terror. If the rappelling team used the 2 basic safety rules mentioned above and kept Arami z"l in sight till finish of the work, Arami z"l would be alive and prevented future terror attacks on construction site. Real tragic to everyone involved, especially to bereaved family.
7. How Long Does It Take To See That The Rope Is Cut?
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (11.26.14)
Seriously. What took so long, Captain Obvious?
8. Terrorists in high rise projects
Brod ,   USA   (11.26.14)
Israel should not be employing Islamist-Jihadists in any of its construction projects. They pose a danger to others and the projects.
9. in other media (not left) it was terrorism from day 1
m   (11.27.14)
Cover up--media+police. If we don' t call it terror then it is not. Afraid to stand up and being called 'racists'. Worse than killed jews.
