1. Someone should have told them that rocks kill
(11.16.06)
Rocks and coktails kill and hurt individuals. Discusting our tax money goes to heathens who tried to murder with the rocks and firebombs.
2. shut up and say thank you
(11.16.06)
3. They were trying to spread the intifada inside Israel.
Chana W. ,   Chicago, USA   (11.16.06)
These were violent protests where property was being destroyed and Jews were being dragged from their cars and attacked in Northern Israel as part of the beginning of the intifada war that was launched against Israel. If Arabs with Israeli citizenship want to fight an intifada, they should give up their citizenship and leave. Israel should not have paid these families. It will only make them get worse.
4. Go to court........
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (11.16.06)
The should go to court, invite the media, and show the whole world how these people were killed in cold blood. This is the only way to ensure that this does not happen again.
5. Any milk left?
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (11.16.06)
6. Don't Give Them A Shekel - They Won't Appreciate It Anyhow
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.16.06)
give it to the Jews. After all this money belongs to the Jews and to the Jews only.
7. to # 3 and others
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israeli   (11.16.06)
This has nothing to do with the intifada. They demonstrated just like the haridem did to pretest the gay parae in jerusalem and just like the settellers in gaza. When the jews demonstrated and even got more violent, no one got killed. The police shot the domonstrators in cold blood. If you believe in justice, they should be tried and punished if found guilty. It has everythign to do with justice, which obviosly you do not believe in.
8. Leftists Who Were Claiming that "Haredim" Don't Pay Taxes
H ,   Jerusalem   (11.16.06)
most of them do, but those who don't Kol Hakavod to them. The money would just be used to support arabs and their terrorists instead of to their Jewish brethren.
9. #4 and 7. Rami spread ur lies to arabs.
Rehavam ,   Haifa   (11.17.06)
haredi demonstration didnt intend to murder jewish police. plus they had permition to demonstrate. arab demonstration had NO PERMIT. without any warning u start to damage properte and kill passing by jews. BIG difference. I wish open court so EVRYBODY see your agly islamic face. but goverment DONT want anti-arab riots! despite goverment it's only matter of time.
10. October 2000 riots
Avraham ,   NYC   (11.17.06)
These Arabs tried to kill and or maim Jews - please make no comparisons to hareidi demonstrations in Jerusalem or the Gaza disengagement protests. They had killed one Jew by stoning his car on the coastal highway and wounded others. Now, this pathetic state is buying in to their blackmail and paying money to the families of these Jew-hating enemies? Yeah, only in the "State of Israel"...
11. Our govt has no guts!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (11.17.06)
They are willing to pay the families of rioters.They should have told them that they were lucky that there were not more dead. If someone is killed robbing a bank,should that state pay compensation to his family? No. It is time to let them know that rioters will be punished and severely.That includes the hara-dim.
12. Arab Double Standard
emanon ,   USA   (11.17.06)
So, if they blow them selves up, it is an honorable death and they go to heaven. If they die otherwise, it is not honorable and thety don't go to heaven. You can also hear in their words "It is OK to riot and kill Jews, but it is not right to riot and kill Arabs".
13. #4: Wrong Place :)
emanon ,   USA   (11.17.06)
