61. I don't care if the angel Moroni did it....
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (06.09.07)
or why. It's just plain disgusting.
62. isnt that a damb shame,,
ron ,   dal us   (06.09.07)
63. I'm very suspicious of this story...heres why
jack bauer ,   usa   (06.09.07)
On the headline it says 13,000 entered in the story it says 1,300 entered. I also have an issue with calling anyone who messes around with graves, a "worshiper" just exactly who are we kidding? "worshipers" worship, the dont desecrate graves. So why call some miscreant a worshiper? The gravestones arent being used as urinals, but really any kind of bad behavior in a graveyard(irrispective of belief) in shameful. Any individual who defaces a moslem grave should feel ashamed, however there is really no witness statements, or photographic evidence to support this story. I have too many questions to simply believe what is stated. That doesnt mean it couldnt have happened, but lets be fair. Since Ynet wont be. Lead story? photo on top of "evidence"? I could find nothing from the low resolution photo to back this up. Maybe showing where it states death to arabs, or putting a clearer picture might convince people how evil jewish "worshipers" really are Even naming those leading the procession? or photographing those involved, or even the escorts
64. Big no, no. /his in Gods hands now

"To me all the souls belong, the father and the son. The soul that is sinning will die.' says scripture. Once a person has died he has paid the price for his 'sin' and now he faces the day of judgement , when God will determine his future. so once a person is dead, that is it . And the dead can not hurt you only the living can. Respect the deads resting place just as you would want them to respect your loved ones resting place.
65. Re #6
Dan   (06.09.07)
You are obviously ignorant as to what actually happened during the Holocaust. I wish desecration of graves was the worst of it... However, there is still no excuse for desecrating the graves of Palestinians. If only there was such condemnation of Palestinian acts of terror on Arab forums.....I guess that's where we differ from them
66. That's not acceptable
Micha   (06.09.07)
Jews know better than this. Respect the dead of other peoples. Even if you hate that people, that doesn't translate into a green light to defile their cemetary. Empathy is best even if it hasn't been shown from the other side as exemplified in defiling Jewish cemetaries and Jewish places of worship. We lead by example. We do not stoop to the level of evil doers.
67. Jews & Arabs
Bong ,   USA   (06.09.07)
The more I learn the more I realize they are very much same but speak different language. They deserve each other's love & hate :)
68. No. 33
(06.09.07)
Why should Jews across the world be embarassed by this incident, as unconscionable as it might be? You certainly don't think every non-Jew is embarassed when a handful of fanatics from their particular ethnic group commit an act of vandalism. Not only that, but if it made headlines around the world, we really have to question why, since in no way does it rise to the level of an international incident.
69. #54 - Besalel - Good perspective.
Otter ,   Canada   (06.09.07)
And where it gets really interesting is regarding the identity of those thugs. Who were they and why they did it. In my opinion they were infiltrators, pro-Palestinian Jews who wanted to make the religious Jews look bad. That's my theory, anyway. I hope we eventually find out.
70. #54 DETACHED FROM REALITY
David ,   Los Angeles   (06.09.07)
1. NOTHING IN YOUR POST ADDS NEW INFORMATION. DID YOU NOT READ THE ARTICLE? WHAT DO YOU TELL US THAT YNET DID NOT? 2. WAKE UP!!! OUR CRAZIES PUT BABIES AND INNOCENT PEOPLE IN GRAVES. WHO WAS BARUCH GOLDSTEIN? (AND EVERY WEEK THE IDF PUTS BABIES AND INNOCENT PEOPLE IN GRAVES TOO, RIGHTLY OR WRONGLY). 3. HOW LONG CAN YOU CONTINUE IN YOUR DELUSION THAT "OUR CRAZIES" ARE NOT AS BAD AS "THEIR CRAZIES" ?????
71. Kyle #55
David ,   Los Angeles   (06.09.07)
OK Kyle - what proof is there that "their leftist friends" have committed acts of vandalism and even murder????? Only the extreme Right has murdered other Jews, both by accident and deliberately.
72. Did we ever do that to Jewish tombs?
Palestinian   (06.09.07)
I do not think so. Even the Israelite prophets we praised them and glorified them... What is going on these days?? No rationale whatsoever??? No self respect at all...?! Right wing radicals again...!
73. # 6 and # 48 are right
Isragirl   (06.09.07)
Something is terribly confusing about this story - Jewish worshipers led by the IDF into an Arab cemetery - ??? If the story is true - horror and shame on us, those who did it and those who sympathize with it. The "Arabs would do it, too" reasoning is a disgrace. Just imagine being under curfew and watch your sacred grounds being disturbed like this - it does remind me of a certain country that didn't like its religious and ethnic minorities...
74. # 43, UK - do you own a TV set?
Isragirl   (06.09.07)
Germans meticulously - and proudly - documented all they did, to Jews and to others. Papers, photos and documentaries exist that show the extent and the horrific nature of the Holocaust. All you need to do is watch TV or search the Internet. Welcome to the real world.
75. #53 - THANK YOU!
Isragirl   (06.09.07)
76. #57
mark ,   ca   (06.09.07)
I understand if muslims did it.But christians? One of our Jewish boys is their God.
77. You know who I hate here the most?
Eric ,   Israel   (06.09.07)
All you annoying North American Jews who sit across the Atlantic and chant for war, death, and destruction. To you I say "shut up". We live here. We are the ones who don't have to read the news but rather call a friend or family member in Tel Aviv or Sderot to find out about the latest attack if we ourselves were not near that attack. Honestly, you guys sitting half way across the world chanting for us all in the Middle East to whip out the guns and go at it is absurd. If nothing else it shows two things; 1) You don't understand this region and 2) You have no care for your fellow Jews who live in Israel. As people who live in the civilized world, it is shocking and frightening to see you chant so freely for the death of other humans. You make me sick. I mean in #7 you have some monkey saying that if this grave issue is true then "it's good". Just because you visit once a year or donate 1,000 USD to us doesn't mean you understand us. I don't wish you would "go away" because we need each other but I do wish you would increase your degree of education before sending us to the battlefield.
78. This is sick
Mary ,   Jerusalem   (06.09.07)
And what is even more sick is how they treat the living Palestinians. What kind of morals, if any, do these people have? Do they not respect ANYTHING? Did they not think this was a bad idea? Sickening, just sickening.
79. # 6 on the "talk back" list
Isaac Shladovsky ,   East Windsor, USA   (06.09.07)
I do not quite agree that we are like the Nazis but having said that I wish to support you and your comments. I do not much believe in group guilt but I am ashamed and enraged at the same time by some of the vile responses to your comments. ndeed, we have our fanatics and they are no less psychotic than the ones on the other "side". Be well # 6.
80. Besalel
charles ,   petach tikva   (06.09.07)
I told this history in my # 35 . Regarding crazies , we have also some , remember this baruch goldstein , who also send innocents to their grave . And the worst , he is seen as a saint by some .
81. Dispicable - have they no shame ???
Nora ,   Israel   (06.09.07)
82. I am utterly disgusted and ashamed
Tahl ,   Israel   (06.09.07)
I didn't realize that fellow Jews could be such animals. As a people who have suffered similar persecutions for 2000 years, we should be the last to act like this. Still, I think this is a very small minority of Jews and the vast majority of us express their biggest contempt to this disgusting act.
83. We are not less crazy.
Arthur ,   Israel   (06.09.07)
Now it is clear why...? Perhaps; when Arabs adapted Judaism from us in their own form, they adapted crazyness too; from us!
84. Just depressing and sad !
unpainted   (06.09.07)
Worshippers of what or who?
85. Poor no. 6
(06.09.07)
because he said what felt they attacked him and because he is Jew they couldn't accuse him with anti-simitism .... as usual .... those who did such horble action and those who attacked no. 6 they called them selfs civilised people and chosen people of God ... i am woundering which God they speake about .
86. to # 52, it's my honor to live in my homeland.
Tareq ,   Jerusalem   (06.09.07)
Give me millions of dollars & ask me to leave my house in jerusalem, i will throw them in ur face but in a gentle way. I have the freedom to live wherever i want, but jerusalem is in our blood. So i dont need such a silly advice from you.
87. #6, Please ??
peace ,   TLV Israel   (06.09.07)
Is there any other nation that has build factories to kill humans
88. To "Shachar"
Jewish CANADIAN ,   Toronto   (06.09.07)
In all probability Tareqs family has lived there for centuries longer than 99 pc of Israeli Jews.You have one hell of a nerve.
89. #53 wll said
(06.09.07)
90. the proof is that there is no proof
observer   (06.09.07)
"We were under curfew during their worship time" "the entry of Jewish worshippers into the cemetery was authorized in order to allow them to visit the Yeshua Ben Nun tomb nearby." if a meticulous hiding effort is made to hide facts and block the release of a single photo, even of the peaceaful gathering, then there was something big to cover.
