Israel continue to take racisit actions to distinguish jews from non jews in Israel. How can anyone claim that israel is not racisist. Marking people according to ethnic ground, whether for good purposes or bad purposes is racism. The real reason behind this is to distinquish jews from non jews so that non jews can spend ours on special lanes in check points while jews can get through others lanes without disturbing them..... I am speechless. Shame. I hope that all good israelis jewish and not jewish will stand united against those type of acist actions

This is a blatent attempt by Olmert & his cronies to harass the residents of Effrat. There is no way this will ease the congestion at the road blocks. The line ups are another way of harassing all the residents of Yehuda & Shomron, there are no valid reasons for all this harassment, except to try & intiminate all these brave & gourageous Israeli citizens.

btw I think the racism here is against settlers. read #3. He seems to make sence

Hogwash! So far it is us who drive freely on the roads..and the sticker helps. If in the future the stickers will "help" keep an eye on us..maybe there is good reason to. How many of us pick up local Arabs and give them a lift as we breeze by?

Residents of Karnei Shomron and Kedumim have been travelling with these stickers for months now. They do allow motorists go quickly thru the checkpoint outside Qualkilya to get to Kfar Saba & Petach Tikva etc. while the regular traffic piles up in long queues to go through the serious checks at the army guard post. I think that 1. its not so easy to fake the stickers, because the soldiers look us all over and check the back seats etc. etc. and 2. I think that the good people of Efrat are a little paranoid because of "settlers" negative experiences with the last two Israel governments, and dont trust any official actions as a result.

Thank you. I sat in the traffic at the Tunnel check point for 1 hour a few weeks ago Motsi Shabbat. There was absolutely no reason for the back up except to intiminate the brave citizens. Olmer & Peretz have their own agenda & will stop at nothing to achieve it, even the destruction of Israel.

If - indeed - congestion is the problem, this won't solve it because these stickers could easily be duplicated and put on Arabs' cars who would then be allowed to pass without stopping (similar to the stickers on cars passing over the George Washington Bridge).

I suppose it would make the soldiers lives a littler easier at those checkpoints, but the stickers can always be faked. All it would take is one soldier dozing off for a moment to let someone who shouldnt go through though. Security checks are sometimes inconvenient, but they protect us all. I think also on some level, the settlers may be a little paranoid about the stickers, but with memories of Sharon saying Neve Dekalim is like Tel Aviv and then everyone getting thrown out anyway, can you blame them while Olmert discusses pulling people out (for NOTHING, I might add) and refuses to give any specifics?

Pick up Arabs? and get blown away. Are you nuts?

you cannot have 2 Israels --one based on the rule of law and equality for all citizens, the other based on the rules of war and survival and ethnic distinctions. The lives of the settlers must be normalized either by moving the border or moving the settlers or a combination of both as proposed by the Israeli national consensus . No one, not Arab or Jew should half to spend half their lives at checkpoints. Divide the land and let's move on!

"Israel distinguishing jews from non jews according to ehtnic grounds" Do me a favor lunatic: Israel wants to distinguish between LIFE CULTISTS and DEATH CULTISTS Plain as that No religion No ethnicity No skin color No political denomination Plain as that LIFE or DEATH

Putting stickers on cars for identification is a world wide phenomenon. That lady better not move back to the US - here we have parking stickers for your place of work/school, stickers for whether your brakes have been inspected, etc. etc. and let's not forget the E-Z pass sticker for driving on the freeway to New York, which lets you prepay the tolls and zip through. Maybe she just objects to having to obey the rules - anybody's rules? I sometimes suspect that's why some of the people I know moved to the Territories - no rules there. Such people are going to have a hard time anywhere. Come to think of it, we don't want her back here in the US anyway. We still have enough anarchists even after the would-be "settlers" have left.
