1. Last rock
Sam ,   USA   (07.12.15)
Last rock he'll throw. Camera doesnt show full story. Nanyways. Dont throw rocks.
2. betselem and its lies
deavman ,   Tel Aviv   (07.12.15)
We will know more in the coming days. Betselem is bent in demonizing Israel and especially the IDF and has been found numerous times lying or at least manipulating evudence or staged incidents. I would take anything coming from them with a boulder sized grain of salt.. or at least as big as the rock that was hurled at the soldiers.
3. That's the only way for terrorists...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.13.15)
to know that their life is at risk. Moreover prevents prisoner exchange.
4. Protecting Israel in Israel - and abroad
Esther ,   abroad   (07.13.15)
Should Israelis hold themselves to a higher standard than the rest of the world? Yes. Is it always possible, of course not. However, for those of us that fight a very tough battle for Israel in countries that are biased against Israel, if he really "just shot" - and even shot him in the back...this will be a huge blow. Because we - I - were the first to jumt to his - the soldier's - defense and actually make a point of the dangers in the West Bank for Jews. We informed journalists and others that a rockthrower is no innocent kid. And that a soldier is in danger, but will still not kill without reason. But - kid or grownup - shoting somebody in the back...is never good. Anyone that has seen a Western knows that is something you just never ever do. If the soldier really did that, he has done huge damage to Israel by it. I pray to G-d the investigation will come up with other evidence - or that he will be punished hard if he is guilty. His uniform gives him a huge responsibility - in Israel, for Israel, at home and abroad. I pray he has lived up to that responsibility and that evidence will show just that!
5. rocks have killed you bleeding hearts
jerold   (07.13.15)
arab throw rocks with intent to kill/Ask the victims. YU BLEEDING HEARTS make me sick and are the reason for lots of antisemtism. \arabs and others have to know they will be shot if they engage in terror/The idf sodier in question was correct. \betsellem would have exonerted gestapo agents saying the jewish victims provoked the. Did not one of our former pm\s daughters belong to betselem,a pm whoynet supported wholeheartedly. CBetelem and ynet are drek to the jews, just poison.
6. Today he threw rocks, tomorrow firebombs...
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.13.15)
If the young man didn't throw a rock that could have caused a fatal accident, he'd still be alive today. Arabs should understand that throwing rocks or firebombs or trying to stab Israelis may very well get you killed. This young man grew up in the milieu created by Abbas and his ilk. Arabs killed in performing jihadist actions are the responsibility of Abbas and his 'government'- nobody else. Better to knock off this misguided terrorist want-to-be now than to wait until he graduates to throwing firebombs at buses. Shot in the back? Who cares? He was trying to cause lethal damage, and he did- to himself! Case closed.
7. # 1 ,...
split   (07.13.15)
.... they won't if you stop occupation there will no one to throw the rocks at if you're not there ,... Your hate and disdain for other than Jewish life that's another story ,...
8. Yep...he's a dead terrorist.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (07.13.15)
He'd be walking up to you with a bomb strapped to his body on the next run.
9. Annexation and Repatriation
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (07.13.15)
will eliminate all pals from living in Israel. This is the only way to separate the terroristic pals from otherwise peaceful Israel. KEEP BUILDING !!
10. never the less they had every right to go after the assailant
dov ,   usa   (07.13.15)
I'm sure he didn't shoot to kill
11. throwing a rock in a windshield is an intention to kill
k ,   US   (07.13.15)
That is all
12. typical stupid leftist thinking. once enter and participate
ralph   (07.13.15)
in a war, battle, there is no time out card. this is not a football game. rules of engagement must be all combatants must be killed. period. no exceptions. bet you if an israeli soldier turned his back to walk away they would still try to kill him. so wise up. stop this stupid childish prating.
13. THAT KID COULD HAVE AVOIDED THROWING STONES AT THAT CAR
(07.13.15)
there's a war going on in that part of the world... and hostile acts like stone throwing are anything but benign little juvenile stunts...
14. lessons of life
USA   (07.13.15)
Don't throw rocks, that have blinded, maimed and killed. Unfortunate as it seems however this threat has been removed for the safety of all. He caused his own death.
15. immediate danger to next victim
Hana ,   Arad, Israel   (07.13.15)
The damage to the jeep makes it very obvious the attacker proved to be an "immediate danger" to the next vehicle that would have arrived on the scene, if the IDF brigade commander had not neutralized the threat he presented. B'Tselem's argument is disingenuous at best. At worst, it is another round of self-hatred and suicidality.
16. When meeting B'tselemists in the desert: deny them water!
(07.13.15)
17.  Story headline "Fotoage shows"
A ,   Belgium   (07.13.15)
Appears Ynet is hard up for capable editors, so why should their stories have any credibility?
18. stone throwing
mendel feingold ,   Efrat Israel   (07.13.15)
if you play with fire you get burnt. Its not a joke if rocks are thrown at your car. you left wing newspapers need to stop supporting people want to kill us jews. They might think it is fun but it is not.
19. Mr
Daniel Cabral ,   Nazareth Illit   (07.13.15)
The aggression by the palestinian has only one response. The strongest one. Throwing rocks have to be responded by fire.
20. No mercy for stone terrorists !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (07.13.15)
21. The Talmud teaches, “If someone comes to kill you,
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.12.15)
“If someone comes to kill you, rise up and kill him first”. The officer did 100% right according to halacha and should be rewarded instead of prosecuted and persecuted.
22. Betzelem and Netura Karta hate Israel with the same passion.
(07.13.15)
What's the difference between the two? Actually Israeli leftists in general are no different than Netura Karta.
23. jews don't lie, they're god's chosen.
(07.13.15)
24. Why press this scenario any farther?
Cameron ,   USA   (07.13.15)
The jagoff attempted to smash heads in with rocks & caught a bullet for his trouble. Done deal.
25. # 7 Only pals 'occupy' Jewish Israel... for now
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!   (07.14.15)
