33. This Is Embarrassing To All Jews
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (06.08.07)
These morons have embarrassed Jews across the globe. This is the kind of mindless, mob behaviour we expect from uneducated anti-Semites in Europe and elsewhere. The Israeli government must find the halfwits who did this and make them pay for the repairs before throwing them in prison. It's an absolute disgrace and has made headlines around the world.
34. LETS GET PROOF THAT THE arabs DIDN'T DO IT THEMSELVES
MOSHE ,   US   (06.08.07)
AFTER ALL THEY SEND THEIR CHILDREN OUT AS SUICIDE BOMBERS, WHY WOULD THEY HESITATE TO CAUSE THE DESTRUCTION THEMSELVES JUST TO BLAME JEWS.
35. Some of them did it
charles ,   petach tikva   (06.08.07)
They were 1300 worshippers who came to pray at the nearby grave of Yehoshua Bin Nun . a small part of them entered the Muslim cemetery and vandalized gravestones , and painted anti Arab slogans . This was certainly premedited , when i'm going to a cemetery , i'm not taking painting with me . Shame on them
36. Desecration of Muslim Graves
Shimon Z. Klein ,   Bat Chefer, Israel   (06.08.07)
We, Jews, are very quick to send a hue and cry when Jewish tombstones are desecrated by anti-Semitic vandals. This is how it should be. Where is the same hue and cry whenn Muslim graves are desecrated? Surely, all men are equal and created in God's image. When the dead are buried, they deserve the respect of all irrespective of race, colour, creed or religion. The desecration of graves ought to be condemned and the perpertrators brought to justice as quickly as possible. Those right wing self-rightious religious creeps of the Jewish persuasion have desecrated God's people and in so doing, God himself!
37. I know it's been asked above, but really,
Konfyoosd Joo ,   Israel (not)   (06.08.07)
WTF are Jewish worshippers doing - how many - one thousand three hundred of them (!!) doing walking into a Muslim cemetery - & escorted by IDF - or at all!? The fact that they are joined by a few morons who are 'lower then whale shit' and act no better then nazi scum, is sad; but far less facinating . . . we know enough about fanatic hatred from . . . fanatics (from either side). So Ynet, why? Why where they there in teh 1st place (you useless on-line backwater)?
38. # 9 - Rami - you're right.

39. grave desecration
g.man ,   manchester u.k.   (06.08.07)
IF THIS REPORT IS TRUE,THE CULPRITS ARE A DISGRACE..THEY SHOULD BE TOTALLY ASHAMED OF SUCH DISGUSTING HEHAVIOUR.THEIR IS NO EXCUSE.
40. This is the real Face Of Terrorism!!
Tareq ,   Jerusalem   (06.08.07)
This is the real face of terrorists!!! They dont respect the dead people, how do u think they will respect humanity??!! When this happens in a jewish cemetery, everybody gets mad, but here, and in front of the eyes of the soldiers, they did it!!!! they will never be punished for sure!! What the hell were they doing in an islamic cemetery alongside with the soldiers?? Democracy says don't respect humanity, so why to respect the death?? That's another shame in the heart of israel, gay parades in tel aviv and jerusalem, killings of innocents, vandalizing graves, leaving their own people dying in the streets as what happened with the motorcyclist a few weeks ago & the list is still long and long.
41. #6

is it time for medication yet?
42. Utterly disgusting
David Y ,   Australia   (06.08.07)
Isn't it enough what you do to the living Palestinians, now you're after the dead too?
43. Proof?
#2 ,   UK   (06.08.07)
According to what you're saying 90% of what happened to Jews by Nazis is not true as there is no proof. Get a life and take ownership of this inhumane act against the dead, not to mention the acts against the living.
44. #6 well said
English guy ,   London   (06.08.07)
I admire your courage in speaking out to say these things.
45. Why are there so many critical TBs
Otter ,   Canada   (06.08.07)
when we don't have the facts yet.
46. Embarassing
semsem ,   New York, USA   (06.08.07)
This act is embarassing and repulsive. The people who did this should be severely punished and forced to repair the cemetry.
47. I HEARED IT WAS THE PEACE NOW GROUP DID IT.
MIKE ,   USA   (06.08.07)
48. Did we hear the entire story?
Arthur ,   SF   (06.08.07)
Anyone who is a bit familiar with the Jewish customs will find it very surprising that a group of Jewish worshippers went to the arab cemetery..... There are no religious rituals to be performed there... Was it some kind of a picnic? Why would they ask and receive a permission to be escorted by the soldiers? It all sounds quite odd... I'd love to see pictures of this 'pogrom'. And for all of you so quick to beat your breast in repentance - hold it until you see a complete picture. Something is missing in this story.. Oh - and by the way - what happened to the Joseph's tomb in Shchem? I've seen plenty of footage on the newscasts...
49. #43 said it all
(06.08.07)
50. RE:48. Did we hear the entire story?
Roy Galut ,   Selah Washington USA   (06.08.07)
I think You are right ...there is something that isn't ringing true with this story....maybe it should be investigated and those that realy did it identified and held accountable...whether it be Jew or otherwise.... this kind of event is indeed a hate crime . ......unlike sharing ones Faith..which recently has been unfairly given the label of "a hate crime" by many organizations and countries
51. Up to #26 and of those who are critical
Otter ,   Canada   (06.08.07)
I recognize only three names. The rest? Who are they? They just jumped up at this great opportunity to pounce on Jews. Read The Religion of Peace for some perspective. And, better still, wait for all the facts to come out. This act is completely out of character for Jews anywhere. There is more to this story. The Jerusalem Post reports that it was a very small group among 1300 worshippers. Could they have been infiltrators? Things are never what they seem in the Middle East. We have to read everything with a touch of skepticism.
52. Tareq if living in Israel is so bad.. leave then.
shachar ,   chicago, il   (06.08.07)
Go to saudia arabia, iran, egypt, wait you have 50 countries to choose from. I am sure you will find it fun living under Sharia law. Go back to your homeland.
53. Defies Belief!
Adam Thomas ,   Kew Gardens, Queens   (06.08.07)
It is incredible, beyond belief, that the people, belonging to the group targeted by the hideous Nazi Regime, would stoop to something as vile as vandalizing graves, because they don't like the ethnic background of the dead. It's sickening. How long is Israel going to treat the Palestinian people as subhumans. Whatever, the Palestinians do or don't do, however, horrible their actions, when the commit horrific acts of attacking civiians, they have been the victims since 1948 of Jewish aggression. The theft of their land, the kiling of their people, the humilliations, all inflicted by the Jewish State. All because they live for generations on the land that someone else wanted. The Jews are not right in all of this, they never have been.
54. What actually happened (since Ynet won't tell you)
Besalel ,   Kew Gardens, NY   (06.08.07)
1,300 Jews went to pray at the Tomb of Yehoshua Bin Nun (the leader that proceeded Moses), which is located in an Arab town. Since whenever Jews go to worship in Arab neighborhoods they come under attack, they needed soldiers to escort them. The Jews went and returned from the grave of Yehoshua Bin Nun without incident. HOWEVER, a handful of crazy young thugs snuck away from everyone else and found a nearby Arab cemetery. These few crazies, without anyone's knowledge, did some pretty terrible and insensitive things. Good thing to keep in mind: Our crazies desecrate graves, their crazies put babies and innocent people in them.
55. #43 proof
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.08.07)
"90% of what happened to Jews by Nazis is not true as there is no proof." There is plenty of proof of what Nazis did to Jews, there is also proof that Arabs (& their leftist friends) have committed acts of vandalism and even murder in order to blame it on the Jews.
56. This is the worst offence
(06.08.07)
We are all human, Muslim and Jew and we should try to remember that, even in death. May G-d grant those responsible mercy for such an act.
57. what can one say
rj ,   england   (06.08.07)
what can one say except THATS LIFE MOVE ON......here in britain ive seen british christiansd and moslems dessicrate jewish cemetries without even getting a mention in mainstream news reports so why should we show sympathy...
58. #53 - Better go back to school and learn history..
Arthur ,   SF   (06.08.07)
59. #6 I admire you of speaking the TRUTH!!!
