Israeli Arabs held up at crossing    Roee Nahmias
1. I'm all for security check points but.....
can't we do better at staffing them so the waits don't last for hours and hours? This seems like an easy problem to solve and would have good will benefits to the state and our own citizens who have to wait there. There's no reason to have people passing out in overcrowding at our check points.

2. That's just great
Such totally proportionate and justifiable actions are bound to promote moderation and love of peace among the Palestinians as well as understanding for our security needs in the world.

3. You think this is bad
This is nothing compared to what the lines will be like to get into the "Mike's Place" Halloween Party on the Tel Aviv boardwalk.

4. Arabs shouldn't be alowed to visit
Jews cannot visit all our land and Arabs shouldn't be alowed to visit too. We are at war and now is not the time for visits or other jokes by our enemies.

5. 200 angry Palestinians standing in line?
I'd also get nervous and cock my gun as well!

6. They should stay in Palestine
They have no business in coming to the land of Israel simply to take our shekels back to their scum! Shut the gate and lock the door! throw away the key. let em stand in line, they got nothing better to do

8. 6--- good idea.
I agree let the jews stay behind that huge cement wall- isolated from the REST of the entire wolrd- you know a jew only little lsland-filled with guess what ...jews!! open up access to Jordan and Egypt for the Palestinians- . what a wonderful world-- so they can come and go- avoinding jew island--what a wonderful world it would be. it would be.

9. dummy security
A lot of road around the wall are opened, many time i make sure that israel doesnt means to keep security, I will tell you my story and its the same story of many others, again i am a christian arab living in ramla, each two weeks i go to ramalla in west bank, for relative visiting or shopping , three roads open without any security stop available, army know about them and close eyes, behind kalandia, behind belaain and a road behind lod airport leads to birzeit and ramallah, when i comeback from ramallah and passing small checkpoint and as usual they dont tell us to stop, i always look in my wife face and asking her what these soldiers is doing here, I really wonder that their is no more suiside operations from hamas and jihad or alaqsa, it seems that israel is inviting them, I think that hamas now is preventing her military division and the others from doing operation to stay on the goverment seats, sp try to keep them there so they know that they will lose if they do something, about the story of jenin i think that there is a right wing comander meant to give muslims at ead ilfitr bad treatment, again not security reason

10. I would cock my gun too with 200 angry Arabs
If I were in a room alone with 200 angry Arabs I would also be scared and cock my gun. However we should treat people with "respect." I am not sure whether Israel does this. Nevertheless the Israeli border officials are under extreme pressure too.

11. It is expected
Because of the eid this happened, but it is a daily occurence in different areas in the West Bank.. What is worse is that these are not machsomim between Israel and West Bank, but around West Bank cities. We harass these people as they leave or return to there city. Security my Ass

12. Just do this
Close the entrences to Israel, stop giving them our water, food, electricity, clothes and medical supplies and just let them run their countyr bythemselves... We owe them nothing... We gave them everything we could, they still trying to kill us, they still shoot qassams, they still teach their childrens that jews are bad and tech them how to kill jews, they still having parties when israeli civillians die. Stop gicing them everything, let them run their country bythemselves! http://www.globaljewishcommunity.com/
