The owner, Shlomi Cohen, said he had received a tip about the planned attack and informed the IDF, the army did not make it on time to prevent the vandalism, and when they finally showed up, they refused to arrest anyone. This is unacceptable conduct on the part of the IDF. It's demoralizing for both the citizens and the soldiers themselves, who must stand idle while Jews are attacked and their property destroyed.

themselves and their property. If the Israeli police and IDF refuse to protect Israeli citizens, then citizens have the right to use whatever it takes to protect themselves. Shameful - shameful misuse of defense forces in Israel. They are ordered to attack Jews but not to defend them!!!

Israel should allow more Israelis to bear arms to defend their lives and property from whoever threatens them.

This is worse than it sounds. I think it's too close to the beginning of the shmita year to replant. and to #2, look what happened to Shai Dromi when he tried to protect himself and his family.

Oh, they were the ones doing the trampling and uprooting.

get rid of these destroyers-they have no right to live on G-Ds land.

..can't get no love. Alas...

Such hooliganism should not be tolerated. Stiff jail sentences should be imposed on the perpetrators.

The Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria (i.e. the "West Bank") have as legitimate a claim to the land as any Palestinian. Open a basic book on the ancient history of the Levant. Incidentally, could you please tell me where I might go to find evidence of an ancient British presence in Turks and Caicos? Did the Brits predate the Carib Amerindians by any chance?

of course, one can be certain that any defensive measures will be gleefully presented without context.

...olive trees, it would be a complete different story. Here world press just does not care!

B"H It is so important to observe orders. But what is the responsibility of the IDF here? Is not its order to defend the citizenry of Israel? What happens when the IDF refuses its charge? Who complains then about the IDF refusing its responsibility?

It is quite a bit different for illegal settlers to destroy Palestinian crops in occupied Palestine, and Palestinian resisting the occupation destroying that crops planted by members of an occupying army. The reason that the BBC and others do not report on acts of resistance by the Palestinians is that while those fighting to defend their land destroyed some vines, the army of occupation killed some more children playing in their own lands.

Jewish rights are being trampled on in Israel. The IDF and police are useless when it comes to defend Jews. Set up a private security firm and have them on stand-by to handle anything that threatens the Jews or their property.

the land was stolen by Cohen, and he like the rest of the settlers would take over the land dunam by dunam, and bring Caravans, water tanks and pretend to plant trees in order to create facts on the ground, and before you know it you end up with 360 illegal outposts (in the Israeli gouverment eyes) and 482 illegal settlements (hitnakhluyot ) and 280000 illegal settlers (in the eyes of humanity). Professional land theft I'd say

an eye for and eye, now the facist settlers know what it is like to be on the receiving end. What did they think they can plunder at will and without repercussion. Funny the way they cry when this type of action is directed at them

These vile settlers finally get a taste of their own medicine{tho with their track record of lies and crimes I would not be surprised if they did the damage themselves),

last week Ynet blamed Jews for murder and only when video evidence was shown did it admit that the Arab was a murderous terrorist. Here Ynet writes "supposedly destroyed". Why? There is no "supposedly": the extreme Left terrorists are so sure of themselves they brought film crews with them.

I am a Palestinian who honestly accepts Irsrael... But these settlers are a different story ... to me they are the equivilant of terrorists from our side... may be they do not kill people in buses but they are pain in #@# ecpecially for people living close to them...let people live in peace... Trust God does not want your olives or onions or what ever vegies you were ordered to plant....

Barbarians should be paid back a full price of what they did and what they usually do!

You can help him in three ways: 1. To spread this information for people to know "who is who". 2. To send money on Slomi Cohen's account: bank Leumi, department 655, account 06637712 3. To come and help him plant the vines before "shnat shmita" starts. Call me, I will give you his phone number 050-8120671 By the way people from Zihron Yaakov, as soon as they knew about what had happened, sent him 300 new vines free of charge. So he needs help to get everything in order.

The Israeli government will ONLY take action if any Palestinian property is destroyed... and of course they'll arrest Jews.
