Terrorism ?. Now technically, any criminal act that takes a life could be labeled as such, but this guy acted alone with his own motivations. Should we consider a bill that may punish an entire group for one man's actions? Israel had called this a terrorist attack for political reasons.

The word Palestine, and the term Palestinian are not Arab. Both words are Latin constructs. The Romans renamed the area when they got there. The Jews were there. The Palestinians were not. When they took the land after the Diaspora they renamed themselves with a Latin word. It's all a sad sham.

Robert, Paju, South Korea

Why are they punishing his family by stopping social security benefits to his family?

Samantha, Cincinnati,

Rather than turning this into constant argument of 'which side is worse' - answer: they're both as bad as each other.

This strikes me as the actions of a complete nutcase.

My sympathies to the families of the victims.

Kate, Sydney, Australia

john, bridgeport, usa:
the palestinians aren't after just freedom. they want ALL of israel's land, which in their minds was stolen from them, and the total destruction of the israeli state. they won't stop until every jew in israel is either killed or abandons their homes. and that won't happen.

Matt, New Orleans, USA

Only pathology explains Muslims' abnormality. This group exhibits destructive psychological symptoms liberals are willing to ignore if only to remain PC. What's the necessary treatment, how can you stop the infantile from taking over Western culture?

dennis mccray , madison, wi, usa

Three Palestinian militant groups — the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, the Galilee Freedom Battalion and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine — claimed responsibility for the attack

Am I the only one who was reminded of Monthy Python?

Eoin, Melbourne, Australia

deRuiter - Perhaps we should send your family back to Europe, since you nation is commiting terrorism right across the globe. Think outside the box, rather than be influenced by your biased media!

Yaz, London, UK

Hypocrisy reigns supreme. Aren't the Zionists who blew the King David hotel and killed British lives, or isn't it Ariel Sharon who bears personal responsibility (Israeli Kahan commission) for the slaughter of 3500 women and children in Sabra and Shatila massacre. Not to mention the daily torture.

Dave, brighton, UK

Makes a change from the Israeli's destroy homes and killing innocent people with bulldozers in refugee camps such as Ramalla. On the pretext of capturing one terrorist they will level hundreds of peoples homes. Strange that this is not terrorism.

Rob, Singapore,

A Bulldozer DID NOT GO ON RAMPAGE. An Arab killer went on a rampage ARMED with a bulldozer. This is the Leftist press trying to play down the role of Arab killers in persecuting Jews and Christians. This was a MUSLIM KILLER, A TERRORIST. He USED a bulldozer to kill innocent people.

deRuiter, Strausstown, USA

Taking away the citizenship of the terrorist is not enough. His entire family should be stripped of their citizenship and shipped to the Arab side. Start with the Father of this Muslim killer WHO KNEW WHAT HIS SON WAS PLANNING. Send the rest of this nest of ingrates back across the border.

deRuiter, Strausstown, USA

Desperate and humiliated people are very imaginative when they fight back.

Charlie, London, England

The equipment pictured is a front loader. A bull dozer is the blade attached to a tractor.

s dallas, Front Royal,

There is no 'palestine.' There was no 'palestine.' The so-called palestinians are people kept ignorant and poor by arab leaders who manipulate stupid Israel-haters. Israel is a proven ancient nation and even the limp-biscuit U.N. recognizes Israel as a nation. Come on arab states, take in your bros

Bob Larimer, Vancouver, WA, USA

This may sound petty...but why should I trust the media when they don't understand the difference between a bulldozer and front end wheel-loader. A bulldozer runs on steel or rubber tracks and it does not articulate. The Palestinian was driving a wheel-loader!

Glenn, Fredericksburg, USA

If this had happened inthe state of Georgia, itwould have been stopped in the same manner, but it would have taken longer. If this were to have happened in New York or California, the guy would still be driving the bulldozer!

Don Wayne, Atlanta, USA

if you take away an animals freedom, strave it, beat it and humiliate it constantly, and if then the animal bites you when it can, would you say the animal is a terrorist? probably not. what is amazing is that there are not more incidents like this. what do the Palestinains gain by being passive

ehsan , karachi, pakistan

Tim "Over time, mixed societies cannot remain peaceful: there is always turmoil, always suppression"
Aboslutely, whats why you in the US of A got rid of the original imhabitants of the country and are now supporting the same for Israel. Land of the Free is you are white and preferably Christian

T. Boegge, London,

I knew the Muslims would be first to break the ceasefire and like clockwork they did. The liberals who constantly have ago at the Israelis should wake up and smell the coffee

John, Salford, England

America is invaded by terrorists. They bomb and kill their way until they have captured 90% of the country. Americans are forced to leave or exist in squalid refugee camps. A wall is constructed, and checkpoints are everywhere.

Now substitute 'America' for 'Palestine'. Get it now?

John Claro, Cleggan, Eire

I met a friend of mine who works for Christian Peacemakers. He had been to Palestine. From the pictures he showed me I was appalled by the brutality of Israelis on innocent Palestinians. I could not believe that those who suffered so much 60 years back were inflicting such pain on palestenians.

Rakesh Sumit, London, UK

If I were Palestinian, I have absolutely no doubt that I would take up arms against the Israelis too. This isn't about anti-semetism, it's about the abhorrent treatment of Palestinians by Israel. If only the States didn't support Israel so much!

Will D, London, UIK

For 'bulldozer', substitute 'Apache attack helicopter'. Then the killing of innocent civilians can be classed as a non-event.

Derek, Taunton, UK

For those who expressed anger that the police shot the terrorist driving the bulldozer because he was unarmed, insane a complaint as it is, I would like to add that he was armed- he had a gun which he took and starting shooting with- look it up on CNN news.

Laura Pudlowski, Baltimore, USA

Appalling incident. Well done the Israeli security guard.

Adam Ferrers, London, UK

These comments clearly indicate that the battle lines are drawn between neighbors throughout the world, and that each will interpret this event through the lens of his own passions and agenda. Well, then, so be it. I'll be for innocent women, children, Jews, freedom and handguns.

Charles, Portland, USA

These people siding with the horrendous acts terrorist make me sick with their deceit.

Still, his man, like all of us, could still have been forgiven for his sins. I mourn his lost and confused soul, despite my anger for his actions. God protect the innocent who will be persecuted now.

Jordan Lewis, Texarkana, TX, USA

To Joe Cosmos

If Israel had responded to Islamic terror over the last 50 years as have the Syrians, Jordanians, Iraqis, Egyptians, Soviets, Chinese, etc. there would be all of 20 Palestinian Arabs left on the planet earth, no less any attempt to negotiate one square inch of earth.

Bruce Josloff, NY, USA

If Israel had been left in peace the palestian arabs would have long ago had a viable state and billions of dollars in EU and American money and massive global investment in industry. The palestinian is his own worse enemy. They have been driven nuts by their oligarchies and theocracies.

Malcom, NY, USA

Here we go again ! Obviously this terrorist thought his vote didn't count. Razing the family house is not an answer it is an illegal act. Collective punishment just makes more terrorists, It's just an act of revenge againts the family. If Omert did that in the U.S. he would certainly end in prison

Sisto Maximo, Venice, Ca., U.S.A.

Now you understand why Israel has put such tough restrictions on Palestinian workers' entry into Israel. And of course the sympathizers complain about it! All this attack does is worsen the plight of Pal workers who will further be barred from jobs in Israel.

Tim, San Francisco, USA

Its time Israel made its Arab citizens swear an oath of alegiance to the Jewish state. Those that refuse should be expelled.

Sean, leeds, UK

Egyptian border guards used water cannons to keep at bay thousands of Palestinians. Ask yourself, if their plight is so bad, why don't their Muslim brothers help them? As petrodollars stream into the Middle East, and still Palestinians suffer, could it be they are useful pawns to strike at Israel?

Bill, Roanoke, USA

its time for israel to give up the occupied territories and to make peace in the region and to stop the daily terrorism...wasnt begin the first terrorist in modern history?

araron goldberg, los angeles, USA

Why do the Palestinians always resort to violence? Can't they use their vote at the ballot box like all civilized people?

David Masu, Zürich,

I suggest that Israel should begin the expelling of this man;s family..immediate and distant.. They should also recheck his work at the job site..

He abandoned his own family..never gave them a thought..He chose to target women and children..all innocent people.

An Islamic sample of Peace

caron, boston, USA

This is an example of the Religion of Peace (as long as you convert)..and an example of the Liberal Dialoguers belief in "Cease Fire"!

caron, boston, USA

Rachael Corey went out of her way to get killed by a bulldozer. If you deliberately put yourself on the ground in front of a moving bulldozer, you (gasp) may be run over. This works in Gaza just as well as it works in New York. Some human rights activists forget the laws of physics apply to them too

Ivan, New Jersey,

To those who condemn this man as a homicidal maniac: think of how you would react if your land had been stolen, your people under occupation for decades, forced to live as second class citizens in a virtual prison, your children and friends killed almost daily in air strikes. Resistance is a right!

Jason, Jerusalem,

Jason from South Bend,
Did you read this part - "At one point he [the driver] yelled out "Allah Akhbar" [God is great] and stepped on the gas pedal," ?

Joshua, Houston, u.s.

The Palestinians have no government with integrity, honor, or commitment to freedom and is comitted in word, propaganda and action to the hate and murder of Jews.Their population is filled with murderers and terrorists that they do not control. Back in 1939, this was called Nazism. No appeasement!

george, los angeles, USA

I agree with that sentiment, John. Israel's biggest mistake is the concessions she has made in the past. After giving back the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip as signs of good faith, the Muslims of the region simply feign peaceful agendas peripherally, so they may move closer to strike the head

William, Houston, USA

Jason from South Bend,

Aaron from Chicago, read Noah's comment more carefully, you might notice his tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Daniel, Kingston, Canada

Tit for tat, eye for an eye...on and on. The Israelis got a well deserved taste of their own medicine.

Terrorist? Any educated person knows who the real terrorists are.

Kal, New York, USA

John B. How right you are. Clearly, we all need to be armed, just in case.

Rob, Launceston, United Kingdom

To Tim Osman, Hamden, us:
There is a world of difference between a bulldozer running amok in an unsuspecting city crowd - and Rachael Corey deliberately putting herself in the way of danger in a military situation. You may see "peace activists" as heroic, though many people see them as validating and aiding terrorism; especially in these "martyrdom" contexts.

Ian, Berwick, UK

The Israeli government is the world's largest state sponsor of terrorism. Though there is no excuse to kill civilians, the violence will never end until Israel gives the Palestenians their freedom.

john, bridgeport, usa

Bottom line, the divisions between Israel and the Palestinians were caused by both sides.
And now I'm left to wonder what's going to happen to our economy when Israel bombs Iran, and oil goes to $200 bbl. I'm beginning to favor a neutral policy towards Israel instead of a supportive one.

John, Chicago, USA

Typical Israeli, "mixed societies cannot remain peaceful" while the Israelis use artillery and 1,000 kilo bombs against the societies that they evict, starve and murder. They can't even remember the family killed by an Israeli artillery bombardment of a public beach and Rachael Corey!

Justin Cosmo, Los Molinos, USA

Love how this is automatically turned into a terrorist attack!! Unfortunately we will never know the MO since he was shot and killed. Pretty soon any act of violence is going to be labeled as a "Terrorist Attack".

Jason, South Bend,

Are all Palestinians carriers of an enormous homicidal-stupidity gene?
Do they believe that indiscriminate killing of innocent Israeli civilians will bring them peace ? Do they not understand that every new atrocity they commit just tightens the screw on them, torpedoes their international credibility and will finally destroy them utterly.

Ian, Berwick, UK

Noah, are you SERIOUS? This guy goes berserk, on a suicide mission and you expect people to stand by and let him do whatever he wants? The second he pulled that dozer into oncoming traffic intentionally to kill is the second he forfeited his right to live.

Aaron, Chicago, USA

Quick! We need to pass a law banning bulldozers (handguns) . Citizens cannot be trusted with them.
Bulldozers kill more people in one year than car accidents

mikey, jersey city, NJ, USA

Israelis have been using bulldozers to terrorise the Palistinians for a long time. Just ask Rachael Corey..oh wait, that won't be possible.

Tim Osman, hamden, us

Direct your ire to your own governments; there is no reason, at all, that the Muslim problem entered the West except by the actions of our respective governments. Over time, mixed societies cannot remain peaceful: there is always turmoil, always suppression.

Will you save your society?

Teve, Seattle, USA

Amazing how Palestinians always seem to find new and interesting ways to murder.

Chuck, Cleveland,

You're the British media - where's the part criticizing the horrible Jewish security guards for shooting the poor unarmed Palestinian bulldozer driver?

Noah, New York, NY, USA

I agree with the above. Everyone wants to take away the legally owned guns! Unless you want your country to be a police state with armed guards at every corner to protect you, the citizens need to be armed and they can protect themselves and others who choose not to be armed.

Thomas Wilder, Chicago, USA

I wish these people could just live in peace.

Chris, Houston, USA

I knew they couldn't just leave the Israelis in peace. No matter what happens Israelis Muslim neighbours cannot stick to peace deals

John, Salford, England

Can you imagine what would have happened if this had taken place in London? How long until it would have been stopped? Thankfully the armed security guard was able to shoot the terrorist in the head.

John B, Clitheroe, United Kingdom
