irrelevant and ridiculous by the day. It's a shame New York has to be polluted by its foul presence.

A gruesome act! An immoral act! An unjust act! This one Israeli soldier "single handedly" fuelled more violation & escalation by an otherwise peace full young Palestinian population! Yeh, of course!

When somebody attempts to kill,surely it is essential to kill him so he isn't able to try again the attempt on somebody else ,once he has recuperated under the auspices of the Israeli hospital services.No gratitude will be forthcoming from a dedicated terrorist...Old but true...A leopard cannot change its spots neither can a dedicated killer !...

How many lives did he save by shooting this terrorist...UN & Israeli Politicians are cowards.May G-d bless this hero!

The IDF has a culture of complete impunity where Palestinians can be victimized in any way, shape or form. This encourages summary executions. Even when there is a rare trial, the sentence could be 15 minutes of community service for 1st degree murder of a 2 year-old. That is the appearance and image of things. Justice has to appear to exist. It does not appear so and has not for some years now.

Time to leave UN ! These guys are crazy I saw bodies littered with nails in brussels ! The soldier reacted soundly to prtect himself and others.

bt tzelem knew that there was going to be an attack and did nothing to stop a potential crime which I itself is a criminal offence in any civilised country. There should be an enquiry as to how the photographer happened to be on the scene at that moment

If the terrorist moved its obvious he could have a Bombvest under his coat - 'http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4782879,00.html Arn.Sweden.

If the pal attackers want to live a long life, wouldn't it be smart NOT to attack Jews? The UN can kiss my Jewish tuchus. Worthless group on third world Muslim hovels. They are the real criminals here as they are allied with the Arab pal terrorists. KEEP BUILDING

of Christians and other minorities? ( Where in Israel they are safe.) Maybe it's time to rid ourselves of the anti semitic Muslim led UN idiots? They belong in Arabia. GET EVEN BUILD MORE !!

who should be executed like Adolf Eichmann who was hanged, is to neutralize them and spare the courts and government to costs and time to fail to do their duty which is to execute convicted murderers.

and safety and security of his colleagues should be the priority NOT the world of Political correctness. If in doubt SHOOT.

Why does the UN envoy keep mum about gays being thrown to their death from tall buildings in Muslim countries? Why does he keep mum about women's lapidation? Why does he keem mum about Muslim women "honour killings"?. Why does he not talk about Muslims permanently menaceing Israelis? Why does he keep mum about Muslims killing Europeans? He will better be fair or keep his mouth shut.

It is so unfortunate that the U.N. is waiting diligently for Israel to make mistake. They operate in such a biased way. All the savage knifings and death of Jews being celebrated by Hamas is ok.Do u think for s sec if it was a Jew on the ground he would b taken to the hopital. He would b butchered

Why were betzelem people at this place. It looks like an organized palestinian attempt to be documented.

That execution was well done !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If this is the only way Israel can secure the death penalty, BRAVO!!!! Arab pals should go home and Israel is NOT their home it belongs to the jewish people. Israel is no place for Muslims.... Soon, they'll be slaughtered like their wish for the Jews. Karma's a bitch. KEEP BUILDING !!!

I support the IDF soldier.100% "HE TRIED TO MOVE"....-and if his movement was in order to detonate some or other suicide belt or to try to do some threat to the Israeli soldier Dear soldier get a good lawyer on your defence Let those ..... go to defend their Begium and France as they move to be in the Khalifa

The UN should go to syria, libya, iraq, yemen, pakistan. afganistan to see about human rights. Maybe the soldier did think the attacker had a suicide vest on and he was moving

on a hot day in hebron, the attacker on the ground had on a bulky jacket similar to what the brussels airport bombers had worn.medics at the scene yelled out look out he's trying to detonate us, so the officer shot him to ensure the group safey. instead, bibi, a lousy soldier in h is own right condemned him as did yaalon who did the same thing in a tunis raid to ensure a terrorist was dead. no wonder idf has had so much trouble in recent years fighting terror. its message to terrorists-don't worry, we will try our best not to shoot you even if you kill us. and you have that moron livni whose admiration of erekat knows no bounds. she does the arab bidding and endorses their positions. looking at the conduct of israel, no wonder that aarabs continue to attack- they see such a mushy state extolling its virtues at the expense of many israeli dead. ho care about the most moral army-the russians would not have defeated the nazis without fighting beyond norma bounds. israel has been led by cowards, absolute cowards bibi, lapid, herzog and livni and olmert for the last 10 years and they are killing the state with incompetence.

themessage now is terrorists can stab israelis to their hearts content. idf orders are not to shoot if possible even if the terrorist appears tomove to detonate something. Now you know why so many jews died under hitler. The sheer idiocy, the frenzy over jewish values takes precedences over saving jewish lives- it is like you prefer death. of course security should be careful., but the message has to be to arabs-you knife or axe israelis, you will be eliminated period.

How about the man was wearing a bulky coat in the middle of a heat wave? That he was told not to move and did? That he had attempted murder? That everybody was screaming for the bomb squad before the soldier shot him? That soldier followed protocol to the letter. He did exactly what he should have done.

WHY oh WHY is there ANY question that when it's CLEAR that a TERRORIST committed an act of TERROR, he is not IMMEDIATELY SHOT! THIS should be the policy or it will not discourage other terrorists! All over the world, TERRORISTS ARE CONDEMNED TO DEATH without the UN stepping in! What should be is the UN should spend more time condemning these DAILY acts of terrorism on Israelis! and furthermore, what is wrong with our PM that he jumps to condemn our own soldiers for killing a terrorist that just killed someone!!!

All these back-seat drivers agonizing over a terrorist! If this Muslim slimeball achieved his goal, an Israeli would be dead right now, a family in mourning. The soldier saw the would-be MURDERER move and took appropriate action. There is nothing to investigate. All terrorists must know that they are going on a one-way trip to death when they go out to attack Israelis. Again, the soldier did his job. Nothing more, nothing less. His commanding officer should be commending him, not investigating him.

Killing a terrorist after the terrorist committed an act of terrorism is JUSTIFIED: 1) Israel has been under terror attack almost daily for 7 months resulting in hundreds maimed and killed by these Islamo-fascists. 2) A terrorist killed will ensure he will never be able to inure, maim or kill again. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE???!!!!!!

How much on-the-spot forbearance & clemency is honestly expected to be granted toward those trying to cut your throat? Trying to keep conduct within a tight, "correct" procedural police framework amid daily death attacks is a Herculean challenge. Professional training & restraint are slowly starting to give. Understandably so.

All of a sudden the UN finds killing to be immoral? How about the boarder guards and civilians who were murdered? Was that moral?

Wrong and a clear and kpresent danger to civilized society. He slanders everyone but terrorists.

We pray this thrice daily. Why? Because those who tell tales and publicize our failings to the world are evil criminals who threaten the security and safety of our citizens. Regardless if this soldier should or should not be punished, the airing of this incident publicly undermines our ability to defend ourselves against terrorists and those out to destroy us. It is those who filmed this incident and broadcast it publicly who should be put up on charges of treason - nothing less.
