1. the American youth reaches a new low
david ,   hadera   (05.20.18)
just another symptom of the pathetic, immoral, ignorant and disgraceful behavior of American. No doubt that some libtard pressure, but also ignorance. Most US kids cant even find their own state on a map, and faced by a lie from their elders, just went along for the ride
2. Let them have a moment of silence for Harris & Klebold.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (05.20.18)
3. Goes to show...
manic drummer ,   Haifa   (05.20.18)
...the more things change...

TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (05.20.18)
5. MAKE ALIYAH
THEODORE HURTSEL ,   SAFED HONESTY   (05.20.18)
Leave the snowflake kingdom behind with their sick twisted values....
6. WHAT NEXT ?
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (05.20.18)
A minutes' silence for Harvey Weinstein perhaps ?
7. I DID THE SAME THING
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (05.20.18)
I held a minute's silence for Gaza, Paul Gascoigne the footballer who suffers from alcoholism and mental problems ,sadly.
8. SILENCE IS GOLDEN
LAWRENCE TREMELOE ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (05.20.18)
Silence is golden
but my eyes still see
Silence is golden, golden
But my eyes still see.
9. I also had a minute's silence recently
TEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED HONESTY   (05.20.18)
I lost $25 from my wallet.
10. THEY SHOULD HAVE PLAYED THE MINUTE WALTZ
MR CYNIC ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (05.20.18)
11. BEACON SCHOOL
POSH FELLOW ,   SAFED CYNIC HOUSE   (05.20.18)
The Beacon School is hardly a beacon of good taste and propriety old chap...
12. " PARENTS ARE LIVID"
DA RAP ARTISTE ,   SAFED RAP HOUSE   (05.20.18)
Life is more vivid when you are livid.
13. The need for follow up
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor   (05.20.18)
"Another student added that she had hoped the moment of silence could have been followed by some kind of discussion. "I wish there was that conversation afterwards," said Fortune Ndombo of Manhattan. "There was no follow-up.""

Obviously there is a need for more information and discussion regarding this whole issue. Beacon School would do well to organise a meeting with different speakers to help the students make sense of it all.
14. IDF preformed outstandingly. I am proud of them.
DOV ,   USA   (05.20.18)
As far as I'm concerned even being a liberal democrat the Israeli Defense Forces saved lives. It goes to show how Gullible people are when Hamas has been wining the international PR war since their inception.
15. Mr
ShrinkDave ,   S Mismi   (05.21.18)
Maybe they should go visit Gaza and offer them direct condolences and visit the border fence personally.
16. The ultimate hypocrisy
Disillusioned   (05.21.18)
Just a few figures - from January 2018 alone, for which NO minute's silence was observed anywhere in the world, or at the UNHRC:

In Nigeria, Boko Harem attacks killed more than 25 civilians in various attacks
In Kenya, Al Shabaab murdered more than 10 people in January alone in various attacks on civilians or Kenyan policemen
In Pakistan, several attacks and deaths in the Kashmir conflict
In Afghanistan, the Taliban or El Qaida attacks resulted in more than 50 deaths
In Senegal 14 deaths by Islamist gunmen
In Syria and Iraq at least 80 murdered in IS suicide attacks)

The total death toll by terror worldwide: more than 210! And no minute's silence for the victims.

Add 11 murders by Islamists in Indonesia and a similar number of deaths from February to now. And still no minute's silence for those victims.

40,000 Gazans were sent last week with a mission to break down the border fence and "cut out the hearts" of the Jews . As a result, 60 deaths in defence of the border and the whole world is out there "mourning" the attackers.

Sieg heil to the new European/American/Canadian Reich!


17. You can not identify with victims while embracing victimizer
Khalid Amayreh ,   Occupied Jerusalem   (05.20.18)
18. Take heart parents, haShem knows the hearts of Gazans are
Rivkah   (05.21.18)
evil toward Him and His people. Zephaniah the Prophet in Scriptures says haShem is going to destroy Gaza and kill all who are there and it will become a pasture for sheep. For that to happen, for the buildings and streets and all in Gaza to disappear, the Earth has to open up and swallow up Gaza into hell like when the grumblers in the camp of Moses were swallowed up alive into hell by the Earth opening up to remove them.
19. I graduated from that high-school. I am so ashamed.
Daniel   (05.21.18)
I graduated from that high-school. I am so ashamed.
20. Care less for their neighbors
Crawford ,   Madison wi   (05.21.18)
So much hypocrisy in liberal communities. They often seem to care more for terrorists and animals than their neighbors.
21. The School's Principal should Be Fired
reuven   (05.23.18)
Clearly, Ruth Lacey, Beacon's principal is unfit for her position. she should immediately fired.
22. Israeli Jews from Venus US Leftist Jews from Mars
TheComingStorm ,   Jerusalem Israel   (05.23.18)
US Jews and Israeli Jews are fast growing miles and miles apart
The ONLY friends US Jews have and growing ever smaller are
the extreme left and hated US Leftist Media NY Times LA Times
wacko Hollywood Scandal riddled hypocrites the University crowd as long as
they keep their heads down about Israel and Zionism US Jews
refuse to face some hard facts highest levels of Anti Semitism
come from their very own Leftist political side of the spectrum the growing Hispanic Community the African American
Community the growing Arab Moslem and Christian American
communities and the ever violently Anti Israel Anti Semitic University Communities add
to those horrific facts that they have themselves turned the American
Anglo Saxon Evangelical Community in the US estimated at
30% of the population some 90 million ( and thats only the adults)
against them , whose left that likes loves the American Jew...?
American "Judaism" has metamorphised into nothing more
than a small Friday Night Crowd singing Broadway Show Tunes
and patting themselves on the back as Democratic Party Fanatics
as they watch their children and grandchildren disappear from
the ancient time proven Jewish Civilization.....Israeli Jews
are underwhelmed by them these days "How the mighty have fallen "
23. Wounder of a moral equivalent from Gaza in 9/11 event
(05.24.18)
Gazans joy and candy on terrorist attack on Twin Towers, opposite reaction for direct aggression from a group which identify with ISIS joy for innocent people, and confused reaction based on MEDIA PROPAGANDA when terrorist are killed and defenderis blame for it.
Therefore: Moment of Silence is moral equivalent of joy in Gaza for America killed in 9/11 attack
Question: There's someone responsible for wisdom in this school????
Painful situation for those responsible for this event which is slap in the face for victims of 9/11????
24. Retired
Joel Rosen ,   beersheva, Israel   (06.18.18)
WHAT ABOUT 30 MINUTES SILENCE FOR ALL THE JEWS KILLED BY THE PALESTINIANS. WHAT ABOUT THE MUNICH OLYMPICS IN 1O72. WHAT ABOUT ALL TBE THOUSANDS OF JEWS KILLED COLD BLOODED BY THESE TERRORISTS THE PALESTENIANS.
25. A minute for victims of violence
Gali   (05.24.19)
The victims of violence murdered by terror and rockets would be decent
Anything less is monstrous
