Report: Palestinian teen allegedly killed by IDF returns home alive

must be an easter miracle. I guess another cry of wolf by those in Gaza may be taken with a larger grain of salt.

Of course you probably can't think past demonizing the 'palis' to consider that it might have simply been a case of mistaken identity.

If a mistake has been made to determine the fate of this teen, this doesn't mean that Palestinians are liars. Since the foundation of the state of Israel, hundreds of thousands of civilian Palestinians were killed in their peaceful villages. I don't want to mention the names of these villages right now. As for Jerusalem, to the best of my knowlege it's inseparable part of the West Bank, many UN's resolutions state that Jerusalem is Palestinian. We will never give it up and we will never recognize the right of Israel to it. As long as you insist on Jerusalem your capital city, then all prospects of peace will diminish, after that you'll find no body to talk to and the extremists will be all around.

Show me one Jewish man reported killed by Arabs who came home alive? For your information there is 1500 muslims per living Jewish man. You really do want to trade, you are that crazy?

Or did they also find the 'body'?

Internal affair = caught with their pants down, and can't think quickly enough of their next lie!

How will the usual suspects report on how Hamas fabricated the story of his death? Will the BBC, The Guardian, The Independent report it at all, or let readers go on believing he was killed by the IDF? It reminds one of the previous iconic teenage boy supposedly killed by IDF cross fire who then appeared alive and well.

it is the media's responsibility to check the facts, no body, no funeral, no mourner's tent, no people standing in line to visit the tent, the media is not blind, the media is abusing its duties

mourners tent and the rest of it?

Thank god we dont have to use pali doctors who would have pronounced us dead. These same doctors have some explaining to do now. Lets have goldstone dig into what happened, who was behiond the decision to make up this stpory of IDF killing this boy. If palis want a state, they need to understand accountability. Now is as good time as any to styart that process

the 'youth' decided life was worthwhile after all.

It was the Hamas officials in Gaza who claimed the boy was killed by IDF.

one lost life is too much whether jew,arab,or muslim

Unlike settlers who teach their children to throw stones and attack Palestinian children and old people in the West Bank. Can you imagine the uproar if jewish Israelis were blockaded and their persecutors only allowed the bare minimum of food in to help feed a people who had their livelihoods taken away by the obliteration of their factories and businesses.

Mazal Tov to his family! Now they should move home to Egypt!

Jenine?? Find it all and then some in Pallywood productions, paid for by ??

"He is a teenager now." Prove it

According to the BBC 17 Palestinians, including 12 minors, had been held by Egyptian forces shortly after they arrived through one of Gaza's smuggling tunnels near Rafah. The detainees were returned to the border by security forces on Friday.

He is a teenager now. Of course, he's been worth more dead than alive for Palestinian propaganda and its amen corner in the West.

I notice the absence of cooments on the shooting of refugees at the border by Egyptians.What Israelis kill millitants and the talkbackers goo crazy.The Egyptians kill innocent refugees who care there are many more where they came from.Maureen and crew why do you not protest the murder daily by your arab friends of inncent refugees in Egypt Syria Iran Sudan Rawanda Congo etc.Ill tell you why you are typical anti semites you can use all the excuses under the sun but the fact will remain.If you were true caring human beings you would treat everyone fairly and equally but as i said the facts speak for themselves.Shalom alecheim.

well said Isrrael is a true demrocacy unlike the arab world.

The red cross is claiming from Israel a body which there is not, but does not visit Gilad Shalit who is alive. Shame on the red cross !

It is funny that you blamed Israel for wanting Arab free state without mentioning that PA wants Jewish free state.

It goes with the Easter theme "he's alive!!!"

So after loudly claiming that they had collected his body after he had been shot dead at the Israel Gaza border,it seems the dead has risen(maybe in honor of Easter,if he was a Christian)& was in Egyptian criminal detention.This is not an isolated example of false Hamas claims backed up by a NGO which are in fact merely propaganda & fantasy.So where is the apology from Hamas & in particular the Red Cross for their false allegation.Oh yeah getting caught so publically lying is an "internal matter,but not so internal when made to score international sympathy points.Actually why isn't anyone in the international community asking why they made it to start with since obviously there was NO body.Those governments who are always critical of Israel seem MIA on this one.Anyone remember the false Red Cross claims of Israeli shelling of their compound which they retracted much later?Time someone asked whether the Red Cross is neutral or a Palestinian propaganda arm.I think the answer is obvious

the hamas are the ones blowing up restuarants, buses and killing women and children... still a bigot? still ignorant and an anti semite. are you in the KKK?

And it never striked you that all these alleged crimes could also be lies?

You're right Norm, there was no body. The Health Ministry received reports, BUT LATER DECLARED that no body was found.

...it's the story that matters. The story of the young innocent boy that was killed on the fence will go into some UN report on Israeli human rights violatations, regardless of the actual facts on the ground.

"I took a peek at that site, and I suddenly am able to not only understand you, but predict everything you say." Uh huh. Can you refute anything I've written there? http://talknic.wordpress.com/ Have a try....go on "FYI, there are a lot of Nazi Skinhead websites you would probably enjoy" No thanks. I'd rather just stick to well documented information from the ISRAELI govt, JEWISH virtual library, the KNESSET. YALE LAW repository. HANSARD. The UNSC/UN.

well peter sm, i'm glad that u were so worried about the boy, and his family. we are all glad he is home. but where does one say eygpt is as much to blame for not informing the pals that they had him? after all i'm sure they knew and heard the news like everyone else. i just want to see this war ened, but not the way isrl wants it but what is good for all. even though we know that isrl wants an arab free zone.

Halleluyah Pallywood.

of crimes that in fact never happened as we see in this last example coming out from Pallywoodian lie machine. They love to involve children and youth in their lies.Remember this next time when you read from Palestinian sources about another IDF attack that killed or at least wounded.....well,Palestinian children.Who else.

I guess you didn't read the article carefully enough. IDF did not kill him - he was never dead (unless he is the messiah). What is the color of the sky in your universe?

You choose to believe the lie because that's the kind of blind hatred of Israel (and Jews) that you have. Now get back to your mosque and pray for your 72.

years ago as an IDF officer and commander of an ambulance crew called upon to protect Jewish worshippers at Rachel's tomb. Arab children approached us throwing stones. We raced and grabbed some of them and called their parents on our cell phones. Later, more children returned and egged on by young adults that stood behind them, they marched in our direction. The adults threw molotov cocktails and other gasoline bombs that began exploding closer to us. I was standing with the commander of the IDF force in front of our soldiers when a glass fragment cut my leg above my boot with fire on the road in front. The commander ordered his soldiers not to fire and then he turned and fired a single shot into the dirt. The crowd dispearsed. Israeli TV showed clips of European TV programs whose journalists visited an Arab ER where tens of children with red bandages were "hospitalized". Arab "eye-witnesses" described a massacre of their children in Bethlehem by IDF gunfire.

Every single Pal claim is a lie.

What`s the heck. Since when have they let facts stand in the way of goodn ol Israeli bashing?

You got that right

IT's the height of arrogance to blame Palestinian parents when the IDF kills their children. And what about the settlers? I don't hear you blaming them for putting their childen in harm's way. Your reasoning is classic apartheid dreck. You live in an alternate universe where you need to blame the victim bc facing the truth would require you to acknowledge Israel's daily commission of war crimes.

to know he is alive only a day after they identified him as DEAD......certainly a very unfortunate error, don't you think? Yup!

If Israel weren't killing Palestinian teens, no one would have believed the lie to begin with. Israel needs to clean its own immoral house.

additonal Israeli atrocity of bringing back someone from the dead so they can kill him again. These vicious Israelis!! Are you listening Goldstone? On a serious note...I am very happy the boy is unharmed.

of the assassination of al-Mahbou in Dubai. Israel also got sheetloads of bad press for that although nothing was ever proven except by the dubious Dubai police. Their accusation of murder was based on a flawed autopsy by some Dubai croaker, ten days after the so-called death. Who saw the body? Will al-Mahbou also reappear someday living in a palace in Damascus amidst his harem?

Congratulations to the Palestinians. Now they also have somebody resurrected from the dead!

Sorry, Darwash, but I don't get you. Dianna Buttu is a paid propagandist for the Palestinian Authority who goes around the world lying to audiences saying that qassam rockets "do not have explosive heads." quote unquote See an example here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dt1GnEbB8hc&feature=related She's a liar. She goes around the world lying to people on behalf of the Palestinians. Why do you think I belong in a right-wing group (I'm a leftie at heart) because I'm exposing a paid liar for the Palestinians? I'm all for peace with the Palestinians and a two-state solution, but it's Palestinians like Buttu and Erekat who are telling us Israelis that they don't want peace. We Israelis aren't like armchair observers in Tampa - we hear and see the Palestinian hatred and lies every day. Maybe you should make a trip to Ramallah and tell your friends to preach truth and peace instead of lies. Joe

Egypt and stayed there were counted as killed by the Israelis for "internal" propaganda purposes. I've never believed those numbers.

"Just because one report of one Palestinian teen killed by the IDF turned out to be a case of mistaken identity is not enough to escape the fact that the IDF has killed over 1,400 Palestinian children since September 2000." [Daniel of UK] Not so fast, Daniel. 1400 was the total Pal death count in Cast Lead, which included 866 Pal militants of various colors, 33 of which were wearing womens clothing when found. Most children killed were by falling buildings and shrapnel, not by bullets. Of the children killed by bullets, they were most often .30 calibre, not .223.

Praise the lord, it’s a miracle, a resurrection, , lord be praised.. This takes me back to the dead bastardo who jumped off the funeral precession when he heard a helicopter overhead. Although the Palestinians are a self painted target for jokes, the real question remains: WHY DID THE PALASTINIAN MEDICAL PERSONELL, THE PALASTINIAN AUTHORITY , AND THE BOYS FAMILY ALL ASTATE THE BOY WAS KILLED, THEY WENT AS FAR AS TO CONFIRM AND IDENTIFIE THE BODY. Which poses another question….was there even a body to identify……my guess is, no there was never a body at all.

sounds familiar. We have seen this garbage before. Remember the fake funeral procession where the corpse was alive.

This is what Hamas and their apologists live for.

"A 15-year-old Palestinian who was allegedly killed by Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Tuesday returned home alive and well on Friday after spending several days in Egyptian custody, Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported." This was reported by Palestinians, Ha'aretz did not get it first it's just passing on information, so much for this 'Palestinian propaganda exposed' nonsense. Just because one report of one Palestinian teen killed by the IDF turned out to be a case of mistaken identity is not enough to escape the fact that the IDF has killed over 1,400 Palestinian children since September 2000.

How fitting. Of course some call that nonsense. Others call this nonsense.

Yonni, that is an interesting question. I had a look at: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1020663.html it makes interesting reading, e.g. comments by some like Chet, C. Wright in light of the now known facts. For those who mock the IDF I would ask to what extent Palestinian media can be trusted and on what basis various Palestinian news agencies reported that he was found dead by paramedics. Where the paramedics members of Hamas armed wing?

You Palestinians are amateurs!

Perfect example of changing the subject and making lousy excuses. How can you ever pretend to be objective? Or maybe you don't?

Wow another Palestinian smear attack that has backfired. Atleast this one ends as good news for the family but this is another in a long string of deliberate lies and propaganda in discrediting Israel without evidence.

Start a third intifadah and get the Palestinian people angry maybe now pals will see how these internal issues are really them just being used like pawns

with the Minneapolis-based neo-Nazis hate group and not in a holly city as Jerusalem

WHY ISNT THIS FRONT PAGE NEWS EVERYWHERE!!!!. Typical, bash Israel and promote the pals agenda but no other paper in the world will carry the headline. Same way as the news the other day reading that Israel attacked Gaza...it took three paragraphs to understand that two IDF solders had just been ambushed. Or the other day IDF kills Palestinian man...when the headline should have been Palestinaian man stabs IDF solider!! Wake up world...you are getting had by media spin

I am often surprised at the image that people in Israel have of the way in which news from Israel is reported in the foreign press. As for newspapers in the Netherlands: Palestinian deaths are very often not reported, and if they are this happens in a few lines somewhere back in the newspaper.(This case was not reported at all for instance, and as it now turns out, happily there was no need to.) Israeli deaths have an almost 100 % reporting rate (this is not a wild guess; it has been investigated), often with details like names, or that someone was a father of so many children and so on.

Shut your Anti - Semite mouth. Where do you hold Gilad Schalit, arab edition of Abu-Gharib?

and those defending the liars at any cost simply attempt to change the subject.

How pathetic. Does this mean that the Pals lie? Impossible......it is only the Jews that lie right? Pals have never done anything wrong...ever.....ever never....never ever.... Wake up world......Sure the palistinian situation is a terrible one that must stop.....but it got this bad because of pure hate for jews. Now we are supposed to open our borders and divide jerusalem? Yah ok,,, Where is the world condemnation on this one? I know Israel would be condemed!

Haaretz is the first to publish.

the matter is with their parents. Teens doesn't think to much for the future. Thinking the future starts at 21 years old. If their parents is sending them to the border, or are allowing to be in the border then if the teen gets killed who is guilty the IDF or the Parents? Hey do you send your loved ones your son or daughter to the border that has the opportunity to be killed or do you go there ? This is a quick acid test. If your answer is I'm sending my loved ones to the border then you are Palie if not you are Israeli. Using proxies as always is Arab mentality. Aby

are all the israel bashers... labhras, maureen.. the australians and mark from lewiston. the arabs lied.... AGAIN!!!

"Palestinians caught with their pants down, yet again. How can anyone take them seriously when they routinely get caught lying?" Uh? More a case of mistaken identity perhaps.. I note you're very keen to point the finger and call liar liar. BTW here's a few for you to cry over http://wp.me/PDB7k-Y

Israeli border police" broken bones" etc etc.Pal hospital report showed it was a load of lies Mohamed Al Dura an Arab autopsy that did not produce a bullet 500 "killed " in Jenin What else is new Taqiya as usual

Israeli border police" broken bones" etc etc.Pal hospital report showed it was a load of lies Mohamed Al Dura an Arab autopsy that did not produce a bullet 500 "killed " in Jenin What else is new Taqiya as usual

the alleged death of palestinians is not an "internal matter" when the palestinians blame israel for the alleged death.

Do you really think that one not being killed, out of the countless who are, warrants an apology? Think again! It doesn't work like that.

"in just a few days there WILL be some other Palestinian teenager killed by the IDF"?

Israel does not kill teens...

of what now will be a missed opportunity to vilify Israel for the "murder" of this Palestinian boy. No worry, in just a few days there will be another event to exploit to condemn the evil of zionism!

Palestinians caught with their pants down, yet again. How can anyone take them seriously when they routinely get caught lying?

OIC-Arab League "internal matter." prove the zero credibility in their 'peace for land' claim

All the professional Israel haters here (and that DOES mean Jew-haters also, obviously) can go sit and rot in it. You people denying the truth of EGYPT's Gaza siege have no choice but to deny any and all validity to anything associated with a tiny people called Jews and their single tiny state, Isrel. Such sick mass obsession is reflected in the false claim of the Pal media and the posts of so many here.

Hello world press! Hello anti-Israel fanatics! Sorry, but you have been denied another opportunity to besmirch the IDF and the Israeli people. Why do I think the "usual suspects" will keep silent? Thanks Ha'aretz for telling the TRUTH!!

Palestinian?s Never Lie, Right! TUESDAY ? the WHOLE WORLD blasts on Front Page Headlines! Gaza emergency chief Mo'aweya Hassanein told reporters in Gaza on Tuesday that the Israeli Defence Forces shot Mohammad Zeid Al-Farmawi, a resident of the Qishtat neighborhood in Rafah, as he was trying to cross from Gaza into Israel. Mo'aweya Hassanein also stated that medical teams and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) coordinated with the Israeli army to collect the boy's body. Various Palestinian news agencies reported that he was found dead by paramedics east of the defunct Gaza International Airport. FRIDAY ? the truth is told and never mentioned in the WORLD PRESS ?so as to not offend the Palestinians, leftists, the ISM, JStreet, ad nauseum Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported A 15-year-old Palestinian who was allegedly killed by Israel Defense Forces soldiers on Tuesday returned home alive and well on Friday after spending several days in Egyptian custody,

Its not the first time, that wild claims of murder has been aimed at ZAHAL. I clearly remember Jenin. Susposedly many hundreds died. Israel said 50. 50 it was. Bodies were shown as the cameras rolled. Then they were shown again. The same bodies, only so many times. The effect was startling. Pallywood, camera, action, cut,print and wrap. I am glad that the teen was found alive and well. As to the huge effort by Hamas, ah, well, lets just say that the Egyptians had no reason to hold him, other than feed and debrief said boy. Lets all pray, that such occurrances will be less reported until verified. Good day from freezing Swiss Alps.

Nothing new here. Just like Saeb Erekat saying more than 500 people were "massacred" in Jenin (human rights orgs proved there was no massacre) or Dianna Buttu saying on tv news that "of course qassam missiles have no warheads" (any idiot knows they do). Palestinian propaganda has no morals, no limits, and no truth. The Palestinians will continue to lie about everything in order to show that they are saints (they aren't - they are war criminals) and Israel must be erased from the map (aka, genocide is ok against Israel). The Palestinians will raise a nation of such evil they'll make Iran look good.

Attention all bashers... apologise for your baseless condemnation.

Funny to think of the various groups that are chagrined that he ISN'T dead, and their varying motives. It must be strange to have so many well-wishers who don't even know the first thing about you. 'His family expressed "overwhelming happiness" that their son was in fact unharmed.' Probably an understatement.

I rejoyce with the family of this teen. The media too often make mistakes or are whoefully badly informed
