1. It's about time
Eyal ,   Tel Aviv   (03.26.07)
Way to go. It is time to take this Country back so we can be proud again.
2. Excellent article!
Matthias Roth ,   Switzerland   (03.26.07)
3. Wow, this is really on Ynet? Awesome!
(03.26.07)
It was nice to read something that isn't pansy leftist dribble about how disengagement means more peace or whatever other garbage they use as talking points. The point is that if you make one concession, they will keep coming. The name of this game is persistence. If we can wait out Hamas and Fatah destroying each other (no concessions meanwhile), we win - if they can wait out Kadima gifting Israel away (and self-destructing), they win...A crude formula but essentially what is happening. Yes, its tough to keep up the Zionist spirit but keep the faith
4. great article-clear and simply stated.

5. YNet allowed this article to be published????
David E. ,   Jerusalem   (03.26.07)
What happened to you, YNet? Are you finally seeing the truth that this country indeed belongs to Jews? Are you finally admitting that the Leftists are nothing more than hot air and self-hating Jews?
6. YOU WALKWED INTO GAS CHAMBERS, YOU WALKED FROM GUSH KATIF,
WILL YOU WALK AGAIN ,   OR STAY TO WIN ?   (03.26.07)
7. RICE / BUSH WANTS HSTORY TO SAY THEY MADE PEACE LIKE CARTER
AT ANY COST, EVEN A ,   ONE SIDED PEACE   (03.26.07)
8. A Palestinian state...
JPS ,   Efrat   (03.26.07)
Normally, I find little to agree with Ha'etzni, whose political views went down the drain with his political party. However, he makes a good point that will be lost on most people, left, right or center. Any Palestinian state that is established will be an extremely racist state. There is no question that it will have almost no commitment to human rights of even its own citizens, let alone tolerate any non-Arabs. It is totally absurd that human rights advocates around the world are in a near riot to create a Palestinian state - yet none of them seem to care about the consequences.
9. Well said, May we all see the light and stand behind Homesh!
j ,   jerusalem, israel   (03.26.07)
It is time that Israel pulled her weak self out of the self hating dust and began to build again. The Lion of Judah will rise again, He will rise and be stronger than ever before.
10. It is a shame!
Yaron ,   Barcelona   (03.26.07)
It is a shame what you are all writing!!! Do you have not any moral sensitivity? I don t care if the Palestinians are racists, I don t care if they are not moral. Jews should not act as Vandals. Jews who suffered for thousands of years from racism, are now provoking, stealing, destroying. For what purpose? To live in the Greater Eretz Israel? To be a light upon the other nations? What light? Only darkness. And that crap about Self Hating jews? What does it mean?? That a jew that refuses to harm and humiliate other human beings, is a self hating jews. Than so be it. Be you all Proud, Self Loving Jews, and humiliate ad libidum others.
11. That is very Good.
1.5 Billion Muslims   (03.26.07)
Marching Israel and Palastinian together . The High Birth of Palastinian , decline of so-called Jews homecoming , low birth of Israel Put all these togheter and 30 year israel will become one of the Arab Country who have Jews Minority . Keep up the good work . Reality Check, World
12. Finally bright thoughts
Josef ,   Finland   (03.26.07)
This is a healthy text reflecting a functioning self preservation instinct. These thoughts just have to be turned into reality. As a Finnish Christian loving Israel I enjoy this text! Bravo! Am Israel chai!
13. B"H
Edwin ,   Canada   (03.26.07)
Fear Hashem, you---His holy ones---for there is no deprivation for His reverent ones.
14. Laws of Nature
Robert ,   USA   (03.26.07)
The saga of Israel against the world brings up two irreversible physical concepts used by her clever enemy to which Israel's Leftists acquiesce: #1, The RATCHET: an instrument which can only rotate in one direction. Israel gives...the Pals take. Land for Peace is a ratchet which will leave Israel defenseless which is precisely the point. #2, INFINITY: The Left knows there will always be an Israel. You can divide the land by two infinitely. There will always be half of the last half left. So "Don't worry, Rightwing Zionists...let's appease the Israel-hating world! We will always have a homeland" Never mind that it will be an even smaller crumb in the Middle East firmament than before.
15. article so bad an odour rises
Rustum ,   London, UK   (03.26.07)
"And why did the media initially announce that that the Jews "overtook" a house in Hebron? This phenomenon is reminiscent of anti-Semitic countries where legal purchase by Jews is also deemed "a takeover," What a load of nonsense? In what country of the world in 2007 does anyone talk of a "Jewish takeover"? However, the author in abject ignorance completely avoids the whole issue of Israeli/Zionist expropriation of Palestinian assets. Palestinian "cleaning" in northern Samaria? Give us a break. So ridiculous that it should make one burst out into laughter if it were not a sign that the author completely ignores the dispossession of a few hundred thousand Palestinians. I can only assume that since Yediot Aharanot has been accused by various intellectual newts of being leftist pansy commie - it has put this abhorrent piece of trash on the website as part of its own argument that it is "balanced." The article reads like some 1949 piece of trash propaganda written by a good Ashkenazi racist supremacist with no insight into history and no concern whatsoever for other peoples' lives, property, assets or suffering. If I hadn't read it here, I wouldn't believe it possible to publish such trite garbage.
16. Racism ???
Juan Lopez ,   Bronx, NYC   (03.26.07)
You are all screaming racism. Let's turn the mirror the other way my friends. Let's look at one law that has passed in Israel, where Israelis are banned from Marrying Palestinians or anyone outside of their faith. How can you call anyone else racist, when you are the most racist nation on the face of the earth ? And I love this article, wheras it starts out stating that the Settlers purchased the house in "Hebron", where is that proof ? As far as I know, both sides claimed to have purchased that house. Why is it then, that you ask in your article "So why is he still looking for a way to expel the buyers?" why is it not the other way around ? becuase last I checked, the settlers were the ones who were in the house. So, in my eyes, the one who was expelled was the Arab, who also makes that claim of having purchased that house. So before you talkbackers accuse someone of being racist, look in the mirror, and see the attrocities that are being committed against the "Human" race.
17. Rustum; Get a life and stop obsessing about Jews.
Daisy ,   USA   (03.26.07)
You are an uneducated fool who knows nothing about the history of Israel. The land belongs to the Jews. You have been brainwahsed by your backward Islmaic religion and Arab culture. You are obssessed with the Jews because you're a loser. When are you going to boycott Zionist technology and throw away your computer? I'm still waiting for that, hypocrite.
18. To Rustum #15
Concerned Israeli   (03.26.07)
Your ignorance, blindness and hatred oozes through your disgustingly wretched post. You always express such antisemitic, racist propaganda on this site, it sounds like something right out of the Nazi playbook of the Reich. When will you stop writing this disgusting trash and realize the extent of the Jews' suffering from terrorism and the lack of concern for Jewish lives by racist, oppressive, terrorist murderers? There, I think I beat you in your provocative adjective usage game you left-wing nut-case.
19. #11 Sorry to dissapoint you
Ze'ev ,   Haifa   (03.26.07)
1. Birth rates: 4 children for arab women and 3 for Jewish, while arabs birth rate is declining. 2. 1.5 million Jews (orthodox have problems with them though) in India. So your dream isn't going to become true anytime soon.
20. #17 and 17 your apologies awaited
Rustum ,   London, UK   (03.26.07)
Great logic - one disagrees with the overt provocation of streams of teenage misguided messianic-hopefuls intent upon seeing violence and stealing property - and two of you write the most unconsidered and disgusting responses. As for #17, your admonition to me to get a life and stop obsession about Jews could also apply to you, self-confessed gentile red-neck xenophobe. Additionally, dearest Daisy as you live in the Land of the Free, we in the UK also believe in the freedom of the press and it's quite simple. If you disagree, you respond. The constant harping from you that people are "not allowed" to look at this website simply throws you in a dark and stygian light where thoughts you disagree with can turn you into a raging houry from one of Dante's circles (the ones which lie underneath this pleasant earth).
21. Here is an apology to Rustum
Daniel ,   USA   (03.26.07)
You will get an apology from the Jewish People and from me personally, when the Jewish Community that existed in Mecca & Medina is reconstituted. You know, the Jewish Communities that are talked about in the Koran?
22. #15 Rustum
Jew from Israel ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.26.07)
Face it. Ynet is not the problem. You simply do not want to accept that Israel is a Jewish country. You simply want the Palistinians to take Israel from the Jews who work hard with sweat & blood to build. You should face the hard truth that you & the moslims will never, ever throw out the Jews from Israel. Live with reality.
23. Rustum and freedom of the press
JPS ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.26.07)
Interesting attempt by Rustum in talkbalk #20 where he says: "Additionally, dearest Daisy as you live in the Land of the Free, we in the UK also believe in the freedom of the press and it's quite simple. If you disagree, you respond. " In his constant and consistent anti-Israel diatribes, Rustum regularly bypasses the lack of rights of Palestinians in Palestinian society - nothing to do with Israel. Freedom of press in the PA? Not at all. In the PA if you disagree and respond, other Palestinians will kill you. If you're lucky (at least in the days of Abu Amar) you were simply arrested, thrown in jail for a week and then when they convinced you to stop writing anything bad about the PA and/or Abu Amar, they let you go, knowing they could rely on you to never again question their rule (and avoid a bullet in the head, of course).
24. the proper response to disengagement is...
yoni ,   jerusalem, IL   (03.26.07)
give back tel aviv and then our citizens may wake up. if anyone has any other ideas to wake peopel up and get the garbage outof our knesset please let me know.
25. Someone said ' democracy is mob rule'
m   (03.27.07)
" Are all men the property of a state , or are they free souls under God"? I believe what Israel is going through is a learning program . As the people said to Samuel "we must become like the nations and our 'ruler' must judge us and fight our battles" So Israel today is learning that the 'men' you have put in charge are forcing 'their' will upon you to fit in with the 'world' and they will use force on their own people to bring it about. What a lesson to learn .And the point may well be , that god may allow oppression, because his people have turned their ear away from listening to him
26. Silence, the Lord speaks
Marcel Abel ,   France   (03.27.07)
"But Israel will be saved by the LORD with an everlasting salvation; you will never be put to shame or disgraced, to ages everlasting." (Isaiah 45:17)
27. This is the solution I've been talking about! Good Article!
Historical Observer ,   USA   (03.27.07)
It's obviously clear that the only solution is for settlers, soldiers, Israelis, Jews, and the people of the state of Israel to reclaim their borders from the Jordan River to the Mediterrean Sea. The arabs choose to ignore the crimes of the past. They forget the crimes of the holocaust and deny them. So, instead of fighting their thought process, why not follow it? Take control of the land again, the temple mount, Hebron, drive them out (evacuate is what arabs called it for us, so we won't call it expulsion) and in 60 years time no one will care! Jews were forcibly removed from Hebron during the pogroms, but nobody today feels like that needs to be corrected. It's all so clear now, why didn't we just watch how the arabs use the present to forget the past, lol. Now we have a new approach, a better plan to bring peace within our country. After 60-100 years, we'll have peace in the middle east because nobody will care about the fantasy of a palestinian state by then. Let's get to work people!!
28. Rustum; You can't debate with facts so you name-call.
Daisy ,   USA   (03.27.07)
I do admire the Jewish people and I'm a Zionist, you on the other hand hate Jews but can't stop thinking about them. That's an obsession. I'm all for free speech but I have every right to criticize you when you write such outrageous lies about Israel. You need an ecuation on the real history of Israel. I'm mixed-race and my friends and family come in different skin tones and ethnicities. That is not the definition of a redneck or ethnophobe. Next time don't make assumptions because you just made an ass of yourself.
29. #28 Daisy. Good point, Problem, Rustum will never learn.
Ely Greenhut ,   Tzfat Israel   (03.27.07)
30. Ely; Rustum has been brainwashed by his culture and religion
Daisy ,   USA   (03.28.07)
It has made him delusional which makes me feel sorry for people like him. We have the truth on our side and in end we will win.
