The most annoying thing in this comments, is that the people that commenting them lives in their own world, everything they see on TV is always true, and everything is black & white in their world. 99% of this people never been in israel or palestine, and never interested in one of them more than watching 5 minutes of news flash on TV.
so let’s start with some facts:
1 – the first time the name Palestine was mentioned in the history was at 70 DC, when the roman empire performed genocide on the jews, destroyed the temple, and announced that there will never be israel, and instead put there the Philistines (not Palestines) that where the name came from.
2 – Palestinian state never existed in the history as their independent entity, it was always been controlled by roman empire, islamic empire, crusaders, Ottoman empire, and great Britain after ww1.
3 – there is no known language named “palestinian”, there is no known “palestinian” culture, almost all the people that known as “palestinians” are refuges from jordan, egypt, Syria, lebanon and iraq.
3 – the palestinians say they have holly places in Jerusalem, so go on and open the koran (the islamic bible) there isn’t any remind about jerusalem, and nowhere in the history is written that Muhammad visited in jerusalem (or al-kutz – as the muslim call it), on the other hand israel and jerusalem are mentioned a lot of times in the jew bible -> now to make my point, i don’t believe in god, but i look at the bibles (christian, jew, muslin) as history books and many things written there are correct and been proven over the years.
so before writing any comment please open some history books and learn, and then come back and stop writing impassioned comments.

now let’s move to the situation in the middle east.
99% of people commenting here never been in israel and seen how life is going here.
and again some facts:
1 – the israeli soldiers are not some bloodthirsty freaks that all night long dream on how they going to kill small kids and drink their blood, they are exactly the same people like every1 else, and i’m sure no one want to murder small kids on the morning (i hope), israel is the most human army in the world, as many people mentioned they will prefer to die than let other civilian to die, when the air force bombs a terrorist house, a plane drops letters to all the houses in the area, and people who lives in the area are contacted by phone and informed, israel send food to gaza, gasoline, electricity, medical help for free (you get the absurd ? show me what country in war will send help to his enemy?).
2 – what about all the bomb suicide that been performed in israel everyday, over and over – in busses to school (small kids died), in malls (small kids on vacation died), in caffe’s (families with small kids died), trust me if this was happening in your country – every mac that was coming from arabic country was fucking blown in the air by the security ! look what’s going in USA after 9/11 in the airports, every1 that looks a little oriental is full body searched (this is the best case scenario), and no one says nothing, this is looks ok (but again 99% of the commenters didn’t flew to USA), and why because some terrorist bombed a building (in israel it happened everyday), not to mention that USA wiped almost all iraq and Afghanistan off the ground and it’s still ok.
3 – now the absurd – all the terrorists that have been responsible to the suicides in israel been caught by the israeli army and sitting in a jail (terrorists with blood of thousand innocent people on they hands) and then what the “Palestinians” are doing? they go and kidnap an israeli soldier (search for Gilad Shalit) keep him in captivity for 3 years with no sign of life, and than demand to release all this killers for free -> and what israel is doing? sets them free. trust me that in your country this terrorists will get death sentence without any questions -> but not israel, they sitting in jail and live a good life
(but again 99% of you will say we are not human, and kill small children for breakfast)
4 – now let’s move to what happened last year in gaza strip. you hear about the small kids that died in gaza, but what about the small kids that died in israel (again you’ll live in your own world, no one of you lived in a war territoty, so get a life -> THIS IS WAR, PEOPLE FROM BOTH SIDES DIE IN WAR, KIDS FROM BOTH SIDES DIE IN WAR, but somehow where you live you all have some magic TV that doesn’t report about all the small kids in israel that were coming back from school and died from rockets that were fired from gaza strip, and from lebanon, over and over again, everyday, people in south and north israel couldn’t manage normal life, because every 5 minutes a rocket is fired, and then you hear alarm and you have 10 seconds to get the closest shelter or else…, when you go to grocery you can die from rocket, what you go to mall, to friends home ! how would you’ll treat people that will make your life to look like this?
5 – and again who started this war ? you’ll all probably say that the blood-thirsty israeli’s -> but look MAGIC -> NO!
israeli soldiers were patrolling on the north border with lebanon, some terrorist came and killed these soldiers, with no reason, a day after an israeli soldier was kidnapped by another terrorist in the south! so what you all so clever people do if this was happening to you? sitting and saying this is OK? DON’T THINK SO !

so before going and putting your clever comment, please learn history read the facts and then please put your CLEVER comment.

you’ll welcome to israel, to see how warm is this country, how warm and nice the people over there, how they will always be happy to help you no matter what, and trust me, i have visited in many different countries in the world.
israel is the number 1.

if any1 of you thinks i’m talking bullshit just say, i’ll be more than happy to send you links, pictures, and facts about all i said.

have a good day!

Don’t know how accurate all the details are but I do know that the most apt comparison to Israel in modern history was South Africa before the end of Apartheid. It’s a shame more people in this country don’t know their history. And a bigger shame this country continues to support and prop up this dictatorship.
I’m Jewish and not in the least self-hating but facts are facts. “Palestinians” were just sitting there minding their business until Israel decided to invade their country and take them hostage. It shouldn’t be that hard too understand.

Hi Daniel,

i’ll be more than happy to see this facts.

What would be the point of shooting a laptop? It would be X-Rayed and then dealt with in, I imagine, a controlled explosion.

“Palestinians” were just sitting there minding their business until Israel decided to invade their country and take them hostage. It shouldn’t be that hard too understand.”

“Minding their own business?” The “Palestinian” leadership, Grand Mufti Al-Husseini openly colluded with the Nazis in planning the Final Solution. Here is an image file of a telegram from Himmler to the Mufti: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Himmler_to_Mufti_telegram_1943.png

Clearly you know nothing of your own history. Israel was a state 3,000 years ago. “Palestine” is a Greco-Roman name not an Arabic one, and it has never been an independent nation.

Secondly, there is already a state with a majority “Palestinian” population, it is called Jordan, it was created in 1923 from 4/5ths of British Mandated “Palestine.” The remaining 1/5th was to be split into Jewish and Arab states, the Arabs refused and chose war instead.

Lastly, Israel’s entire land mass is less than 1% of the Middle East. The Arab states and Iran control 99%. From that stat alone it is clear which side is being unreasonable.

Ending the West’s Proxy War Against Israel
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123171179743471961.html

Despite the media’s obsession with the Mideast conflict, it has cost many fewer lives than the youth bulges in West Africa, Lebanon or Algeria. In the six decades since Israel’s founding, “only” some 62,000 people (40,000 Arabs, 22,000 Jews) have been killed in all the Israeli-Arab wars and Palestinian terror attacks. During that same time, some 11 million Muslims have been killed in wars and terror attacks — mostly at the hands of other Muslims.

Go ahead and boycott Israel, start with the Israeli designed Intel CPUs in your Macs, then I won’t have to read these dubious tales of security gone awry.

Israel shot it.
All other surrounding countries would have strapped a bomb to it and blown it up!
Consider yourself lucky lady!

I travel multiple times a year. I love traveling. The contents of my backpack are similar. MacBook Pro, phrasebook in the language of the destination/s, maps, notes on must-see’s, and must-do’s and yes, photo’s and emails from people of the locale I know, whom I am to hang out with or meet. I’m sure the greater majority of traveler’s carry-ons contain exactly the same kind of stuff. This is not suspicious stuff.

Israel is in and of itself a crime to humanity. May God have mercy on them. Steve Jobs won’t.

This made me puke

Love all the people jumping on the unattended bag. Given that she was told to leave it there, it being unattended is unimportant.

Israel was there first! – who gives a shit. All Caucasians out of the US and Australia then – Native Americans and Aborigines were there first.

She had an Arabic writing in a country who’s official language is both Hebrew AND Arabic?

The US, Australia, Russia, UK and China would never destroy a computer. They may detain her and check the computer however.

“Lastly, Israel’s entire land mass is less than 1% of the Middle East. The Arab states and Iran control 99%. From that stat alone it is clear which side is being unreasonable.” Agreed the 1% is collateral damage and shut put up and shut up. How peaceful………

F**k mac
windows sucks
linux is the best!

And linux sucks. Even the mediocre Motorola Droid (aka the not-a-real-Google-Android) will one day be a stronger computing platform than all linux combined.

guys its very funny thing to discuss but do you belive that state with huge expierence of fighting against terrorism is that stupid to shot notebook for nothing? it means she was suspicious! and thats it.

Some comments makes me laugh a lot!! See the facts: A women try to cross a border; and the soldiers make a power demostration shooting at their laptop! That’s simple!
Is so naif (I should say stupid) to think that if a soldier have the suspect that there is a bomb in the suitcase, they will shoot to the suitcase!!! Nobody shoots to a bomb!! The soldier simply desired to ruin the woman’s day for whatever reason; and showing their power, as usual.

Hollalouya the stars of David kept her safe!
Oh my, imagine if they would have just tripped on a rock while firing and accidentally shot her!
Yes, I am a Pc…

T H A T ‘S M E ….. R E A D M E ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

the israelis are terrorists who shoot people on peace boats and kill palestinians daily. so who cares about the stupid laptop?
