Israeli policewoman suspended for hitting Palestinians     Efrat Weiss
1. let's compare
let's compare: Magav woman smacks PA kids taunting here and she is suspended vs Magavniks break arm of one MK and crack skull of another (in Amona) and both are promoted.

2. NOOOOO.....
I can't believe this..!!! Is this something that deserves to be reported? What are you, people, trying to prove??? WHAT??? Do you know what hitting someone means??? Is that hitting? This video by Palestine Monitor is just pathetic anti-Israel propaganda!

3. This is pathetic
YOU CALL THIS NEWS???? After watching the video i cant believe YNet printed this exagerrated event. A female border guard giving a cheeky kid a very light slap on the back of the head is definately not newsworthy and only serves the purpose for propaganda. I cant believe this was even printed.

6. PALESTINIANS KILL OUR JEWISH KIDS BUT WHO CARES.
MIKE HAMEN ,   usa   (08.21.07)
7. This is an old tactic that works. 9 easy steps.
1) Have camera running. 2) Arabs or Leftists deliberately provoke a Jew. 3) Film the Jew's reaction 4) Distribute video among Palestinian-friendly media 5) Video gets picked up by Palestinian friendly media all over the world. 6) Israel is criticized worldwide. 7) Israeli government apologizes and explains profusely. 8) Jew gets punished, demoted, arrested, whatever suits the situation. 9) Palestinians prepare for next videotaped confrontation. This tactic has been successfully used in Hevron, for example. Who can forget that old Jewish woman reacting at an Arab woman's provocation? Her unladylike behavior was seen all over the world thanks to the ever ready Leftist or Palestinian cameraman. This border guard behaved unprofessionally but she by no means intended to hurt the kid. So from now on Arabs are free to throw insults at Jews with no fear of retaliation. Arrest an Arab for cursing a Jew? Oh no. What a notion. Maybe if it's a distressed Jew curses the policemen who expelled his daughter and her family, then the man would be subject to all kinds of retaliation from his workplace, the courts, everybody, and the media would have a field day attacking him. By the way, where's the video of the aggression against the ambulance medics in Acre? I bet it wasn't pretty.

8. Be careful who you slap
Slap a Palestinian: get in trouble Slap a religious Jew: get an ovation.

9. POLICE SHOULD HIT ONLY JEWS NOT ENEMIES!!!
For hitting pregnant Jewish women some policemen got promoted!

10. YNET's point: Jews stay out of Israel
B"H The end point of this article is to discourage Jews from settling Israel and realizing their rights there. We English speakers need to realize that this propoganda has us as the audience, and the intention is to melt our hearts just like the spies of Israel intended to do to the entire Jewish people. This is old hack meant to discourage Jewish reunification. I'll throw it in the mirror. More Jewish presence is required to prevent this kind of destructive propoganda.

11. Strange Coincidence Camera + Provoke
What a coincidence. A kid provokes an Israeli Oficer with an insult and someone is there with a camera. Was the incident provoked?

12. Whom you are kidding? You call this hitting?!

13. C'mon people...
...get a grip. It's not like she did something truly horrible like pull a cat's tail or toss pebbles at a caged lion.

14. headline: "Palestinian rewarded for killing Israelis"
Well, it's true, but you simply don't see this headline anywhere because it's not in the bleeding heart liberal agenda of the pro-Pal groups. Yes, it's true. Every suicide bomber who murders Israeli children not only gets his virgins in paradise, but his family gets a big fat payment and continued support money for years. It's a point the "peace" advocates don't want to be reminded about, because it pops their bubble of the friendly peace-loving Pals who just want their own state. How many Palestinian security officials have ever been "suspended" for not simply hitting Israeli children, but shooting them dead or ordering a suicide bomber into a restaurant or hotel? The answer is none.

15. #7 - Spare the rod
...spoil the child. To all the bleeding hearts out there. Those who would say its child abuse. Take a look at the prinicpals you sell and tell me: What was the net result in the US btween the 50s, 60s, 70 ,80s, 90 and current as US parents moved away from puhishing their child. In my generation it went from kids showing off the "knife" inside a fingernail clipper to mass shool murders. Childrne have become the criminal class in America. When I was a kid it was Mr. President, not Bill or George WB. A neighbor could tell a neighbor child to behave without the child sqauring off and the other parents threatening to sue. A good whack on the behind was enough hanging over our heads in school that we did what we were told and lerned. Now children are mentally unstable, hocked up on ridlin and the schools are becoming military lock down campuses with ID badges, surveillance and intolerance for indiviaulity (you must be social like we say). Lets go back to simpler times. Swats.

19. And what about the Jewish children who have been beaten?
Jew ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (08.21.07)
20. You Jews hate truth?
I don't know why you are so upset about this piece of news. Such news give more creditability to YN. People, these are children!! you always insist in winning more enemies! Thanks YN, and thanks to fair/free people in Israel.

22. You are heartless!
Better be compared to animals than Humans!
Sound of Reason ,   Arabia   (08.21.07)
23. Violence
I expected from the headline of the article to see some small children being beaten. The guard slapped the child -- period. We don't see the same coverage when the guards BEAT jewish students or jewish protestors. Let's have real news stories, please. Ariel

24. In Israel police brutality is the norm
against Palestinian children who can't fight back. And they think they are doing G-d's work? Forget it! The people are sick with hatred.

27. ad hominem arguments
Why is practically every comment left here an ad hominem one? Rather than addrssing the issue at hand, i.e. that a border guard smacked a kid, responses seem to go along the line of 'oh, but an Israeli guard once smacked a Jewish person.' What has this got to do with this particular piece of news? If someone smacked you, would you excuse it on the basis that you too had once smacked someone? I think not.
