Israeli killed in West Bank shooting attack

Amazing, you call people insulting names because they don't share what you think is history: when your lack of knowledge of Israel's history makes you look like an complete ignoramus. The UN passed Security Council resolution 181 which created the legal authority for declaration of a Jewish and Arab state. On 14 May 1948, under UN 181, Israel declared itself to be the State of Israel. That declaration did not include Palestinian territory. In 1967 Israel occupied the rest of Palestine. It refused to withdraw from the occupied territory and thus became in violation of international law. How many times, and in how many ways must the nations of the world tell you Israelis that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the annexation of Jerusalem are in violation of UN resolutions 242,452 and 465 and thus in violation of articles 49,53 and 147 of the 4th Geneva Convention, and therefore Israel could be prosecuted at the International Criminal Court in the Hague for commission of a war crime

Chaim, that same official could go even additional steps forward, and be able to remove all roadblocks and witness no future attacks on Jews in the West Bank. He could remove the settlements and move the security wall to Israeli territory, and have the international community of nations praise him for abiding international law and removing Israel from the list of rogue nations.Let's pray for him.

We shouldn't be willing to give the Palestinians all the credit for conducting massacres and terrorist attacks against civilians. So perhaps we should include these massacres of Palestinians by Jews. Yehida- 12-13 Dec47. 19 dead. Khisas- 18Dec47. 10 dead. Qazaza-19Dec47. 5 children Al-Sheikh-1Jan48. 40 dead Deir Yassin- 9-10 Apr48. 250 dead.

This is normal, as history will tell people like Jasper. Every colonial power - English, French, Dutch, Roman, Turkish, Greek has been subjected to opposition which increases in violence until some sort of outcome acceptable to both sides is reached. Clearly Israelis don't learn much about history in their schools. Perhaps world history should be added to your curriculum.

that all israel apologists carry... try opening the OTHER eye once in a while, and take a look into what the palestinians are up against on a daily basis. maybe doing so will give you some idea of WHY israel faces what it does. otherwise, you might consider sparing us your sanctimonious crap.

That's Iran's strategy

What else did you expect from the resistance? You do whatever it takes to try and re-claim your land back. And please, don't start arguing whose land is it anyways, because it's a non-starter.

If Jews were only absent from the West Bank and East Jerusalem from 1948-67 (the period when Jordan captured the territories and kicked them all out)... why do you numbskulls always state that Jews have no right to live in those territories? Why do you racist creeps pretend that the land belonged exclusively to Arabs? Do you like basking in your ignorance in perpetuity, or what?

people that accepted responcibility are of abbas party.

and I hope Israel contains it. There is just too much at stake right now and everything that happens in the World is live on the internet. No more violence.

If Israel didn't allow its assorted religious fanatics, leeches, and fruitcakes to illegally squat in the territories, this sort of thing would never happen. Are the settlers Israel's human shields? Security buffers? Tools of Expansion? Provocateurs? Whatever they are- an irresponsible and treaty-breaking govt. allow them to take a risk and sometimes must pay the ultimate prize.

You seem to belive that its ok to shoot civilians becuase you believe they are on PAL soil illegally? Using your logic, would you accept israel shooting on sight any PAL on israeli soil illegally? No arrest, no trial, just execute on the spot?

You frequently complain that outsiders don't pay as much attention to crimes against Israelis as to crimes against Palestinians. I don't remember you being as exersized by crimes by settlers against Palestinians. Was that an oversight? Are they also war crimes?

It won't be easy this time..Unfortunately....

Most commentators put down the reduction of Palestinian violence down to the actions of the Palestinian security forces, not Shin Bet or other Israeli agencies...

the mentality of the anti-Israel crowd. And what Israel is up against on a daily basis. My condolences to the family of the man shot on the road.

.. do you and your alike speak positively about Abbas!!! Can assure you that this time the Palestinians most likely won't tolerate such an action by Abbas against those who's approach has, much to my regret, proved to be the only viable one against the illegal settlers, after failure of over 18 years of negotiations, as the PA itself has recently acknowledged! Remember what happened to Abbas when he stopped voting on Goldstone's report the first time?

a simple question,if someone illegally opens the cage door of a wild animal,and the animal runs out and devours somebody,who is the murderrer the animal or the person that let him out?of course we know the answer, any government official who is responsible for dismantling some of the road blocks is just as responsible for this murder as the animal that actually pulled the trigger

you really need a clue

Shooting civilians is a war crime. "Whether or not attacks actually result in civilian casualties, they are in violation of international law, which also prohibits attacks aimed at spreading terror among the civilian population. The patterns of attacks and statements by members and leaders of Palestinian groups also indicate that they have no qualms about launching attacks against civilians and that they in fact carry out such attacks intending to kill and injure Israeli civilians. Such attacks constitute war crimes." Amnesty International

And neither does removing all of those checkpoints (in the past few months). It just encourages the terrorists and lets them know that they can murder Jews with impunity.

if the palestinian security forces will do their job and turn in the men responsible for the death of this innocent person. Abbas show the world that this killing will not be tolerated
