1. His presence might bring the house down.

2. known terrorists walk freely through the world...but
Oren ,   Tel Aviv   (02.26.06)
the bar is raised for an innocent. Just because he is a Jew and an Israeli officer. This is how f*cked up the world is. One would think it is not 2006 but....
3. If Israelis cannot travel safely to GB, ...
AK   (02.26.06)
British and especially their "human rights" activists shouln't be allowed in Israel. Israeli govt should grow some backbone.
4. Yesh Gvul spokesperson
Samie ,   chicago Usa   (02.26.06)
This guy Yishai Menokhin and his gang should be tried for treason giving aid and advice to the enemy at time of war.
5. Arrest EU officials
Alex ,   Sydney Australia   (02.26.06)
when they come to israel, for funding terror organisations!
6. He might be arrested
Jane   (02.26.06)
but all those Islamofacist bastards can stand in the middle of Finsbury Square and espouse the turning of Europe into one big fat caliphate, while at the same time inciting murder against Jews and Christians. The British should get their house in order before using this threat against a member of the armed forces - trying to defend the lives of his people - of a democracy. Furthermore, considering how much of the blame for the middle east situation lies on Britain's colonial past, it is the last one to be in a position to throw stones.
7. why not
(02.26.06)
you are behind the ex Nazi officers tillnow and you put them in prison even if they are too old or sick , no body should be over justice , if it's proved that he is a war criminal he should serve in prison .... no body should be over the law .
8. What Bull----
Chaya ,   Israel   (02.26.06)
It is the so-called 'palestinians' who are guilty of atrocities and should be tried. They are also liars and are the ideological descendants of the Nazis.
9. What is there to learn?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (02.26.06)
Why would a general in the I.D.F. possibly leard about security from the british? They should come here to learn. If they arrest him then we should show them how a real army rescues one of our own. Why do the kapos of yesh gvul always want to help our enemies. Too bad we can not jail them for treason. Who cares what happens to the palestinians? I would rather they all died instead of one Jew dying.
10. what crimes ??
andrew ,   maimi, fl   (02.26.06)
what is the crime ? when does the "winner" of a war become a war "criminal" ???
11. #7
Jane   (02.26.06)
Judging my your sentence structure, you are an Arab. Considering that you people do not even begin to understand the concepts of justice, war criminal or prison, you should not even be entering into this convesation.
12. if innocent then he should travel
john   (02.26.06)
13. Jane
(02.26.06)
Judging by your sentence structure, you're truly a bigot, racist and most probably overweight and ugly. Who are YOU to tell someone else whether they can post or not? Although you might have Jew-only roads in the territories, these are not Jew-only forums; anyone can post. Go find a boyfriend or at least a vibrator, you are troubled and need to relax, smoke a joint.
14. But Syria, Iran, Sudan, HAMAS, Fatah leaders aren't arrested
howard ,   pacific coast, usa   (02.26.06)
Yasser Arafat was not tried. Iranian Revolutionary Guards, Iraqi Baathists, Chinese soldiers who put down Tiananmen and Burmese officers go where they like. Butchers of children and extremists of all stripes are welcome. But Israeli soldiers who try to avoid excess bloodshed are to be arrested. Quick poll: are Europeans simply mad?
15. jane nicely said!
mati ,   nj   (02.26.06)

Jane   (02.26.06)
The British Islamofacist-appeasing cards are stacked against him. The Brits will do anything to placate their Muslim population in the false hope that it will spare them another bombing.
17. again Jane the hatress
(02.26.06)
again you leave the suject and you attack an Arab , it's none of your business what kind of justice we have , if you can comment on the rport here it's ok if not ... so SHUT UP HATRESS ...... you are an ignorant and hatress all you can do is attacking someone here don't agree with your hate ... try once to take off your hate and write like a normal humanbieng if you can and if you are .... hatress ....lol
18. Soon we shall all be accused of being war criminals
Yehuda Maccabee ,   Modiin   (02.26.06)
What we need is a Manhigu Yehudit government. 1 hour of Jewish heritage study per day for all Jewish kids in Israel. When we internalise the justice of our right to Eretz Israel, all problems can be overcome.
19. #13 Stuck on stupid
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (02.26.06)
Judging by your name-calling, insults, and personal attacks, you are truly an idiot, troll, big, racist, moslem, queer, stupid and drunk. There are not "JEW ONLY" roads, but there are "ISRAELI ONLY" roads reserved for drivers of vehicles bearing Israeli plates. U don't like it BUILD UR OWN ROADS. U R troubled, can't find a girl, or at least a goat. Go smoke some crack or boil ur head.
20. #13
Jane   (02.26.06)
You are a disgusting, sexist automaton. "Jew-only" roads would suggest that you are - could it be - an anti-Semitic piece of crap that crawled out from under some rock in no-man's-land. As to your attempt at personal attack,. you obviously have no notion of who I am whatsoever. Actually, were it not so sexist, I would have been laughing for quite awhile.
21. #17
Jane   (02.26.06)
Oh, it's Mr. Hatress again. Well, Mr. Hatress, since it was the Arabs who brought suit against certain Israeli military figures, it would appear that I'm right on top of the subject. I'm quite the normal human being, actually. Can't bear liars and those who will not own up to their failings. You know the type, Mr. Hatress. People like you.
22. The day will come when you will be in the Hague for justice
Ahmed ,   Ejerusalem Palestine   (02.26.06)
23. Why not arrest "Palestinian" terrorists
J. Goffman ,   Vancouver, Canada   (02.26.06)
when they travel to foreign countries? Hamas leaders should be detained the minute they step foot on foreign soil. Just yet another example of the double standard the world holds against Israel & Jews.
24. # 14 You have no shame
Ron ,   Canada   (02.26.06)
You write: "But Israeli soldiers who try to avoid excess bloodshed are to be arrested." you mean lik that officer who emptied a full clip into the body of a little girl in Gaza?? and Those soldiers who use Palestinian children for target practice ?? and ... and... Israelis asumed they are so powerful that they are above int'l law. Well this law is catching up on your failures to observe the ethics that the IDF claims to have.
25. Excuse me Sir.What do you think the British can teach you?
alan ,   South Africa   (02.27.06)
26.  Can the egg teach the Chicken?
Alan ,   South Africa   (02.27.06)
27. to 19
(02.27.06)
i am not 13 and i am not moslem ... clear that you are another ignorant like Jane ... can't write anything more than attacking and insulting ... you call him idiot .... you are much biger one and not only this but brainwashed by some zionists ... look in the mirror you see how idiot you are and you will see the somke which comes out of your ears from beeing boiling from the hate inside you .... Jew only or Israeli only are the same ... you stupid ignorant ... seams you don't find a girl and that's why you are licking the A.... of Jane ... maybe it works ... or girls are not interested for you .... don't count on me .... ok
28. What kind of war on terror is this???
Steve ,   USA   (02.27.06)
B"H ...when the warriors need to be afraid of conviction by the terrorists and their supporters and not vice versa. If Britian is an ally, it needs to actually support those who are fighting terror, and not support the terrorists politically and financially with a twisted judicial system. We need to stop kicking the heros. The great general Patton in WWII was not protected after the war was won. We need to stop this crazy behavior if we are going to win this war on terror. We need to thwart the terrorists instead of the war heros.
29. correction
joe ,   Baltimore MD   (02.27.06)
Jane, they are not Jew only roads... they are Israeli-only roads that plenty of Israeli arabs use... this is not racist.. It is limited to Israeli citizens. If arafat hadn't been such an idiot at Camp David/Taba, they would be Palestinian roads in a Palestinian state. But isn't it interesting... THEN they would be Arab only... Somehow the Palestinians want to make their areas completely without Jews whereas the Jews have a state that not only has a huge Arab population but makes Arabic a national language, puts it on all the signs etc and has arabs in the Knesset. so.... clean up your own house before you start throwing epithets.
