1. Interesting
You posted this story almost 4 hours ago and no comments. It seems people only care about Palestinians when they die by Israeli hands (a story that would have at least dozens of posts expressing outrage).
May the victims rest in peace.

3. No, it's just that everyone is well aware that stories like this are posted in an attempt
to deflect people's attention from the ongoing, catastrophic disaster that is Israel's half-century brutal occupation of the Palestinians.
I mean, it's pretty obvious, isn't it?

5. Maybe Because We Don't Give Syria Or The PRFL Billions Of Dollars
in aid, military or otherwise?
Just a thought.

9. So their lives are worth less?
Is that really what you're claiming.

Read between the lines again, that's not even remotely what I said

19. I read something about
money being the reason one is discussed and railed against and one is not. If that's not what you want to say, you need to be clearer.

7. Isn't it funny how so many Israelis suddenly become proponents of Palestinians' human rights
when those Palestinians are dispossessed of their land and forced to live as refugees in other Arab countries?
Also, your supposed optimism about the Arab Spring certainly isn't shared by many Israelis, case in point, Israel's open and unabashed reluctance to see Mubarak and his cohorts overthrown.
Egyptian activists 'to form Nazi party', newspaper reports Silly Jews, what were they thinking?

10. And still not one word about
the victims. I didn't expect you to show your hand so vividly.

20. Really - then you'll have no problem
pulling some of my comments or showing where I was indifferent to the deaths of Palestinians when they were killed by Israelis. I'll wait.

16. "Dispossessed of their land."
Refugees for over sixty years? Get a grip. Political pawns for over sixty years and people like you encouraging it. Syria uses them. Refugees with no path to citizenship in the place they were BORN?
But you think the better plan is that they murder the Jews who hold the land their grandparents used to rent from absentee landlords living it up in Beirut.
Brilliant.
whoa

18. Yeah, Why Don't The Palestinians Just Leave Israel!
If the Arab state only take those "problems" off Israel's hands, problem solved!
And people flame Helen Thomas for saying pretty much the exact same thing, only applied to immigrant Israeli Jews.
Stay focused boy. He aquart was talking about Arabs in Arab nations, not Arabs in Israel.
