1. Stereotypes, and the reality
Ilan ,   Israel   (11.14.07)
A bit more stereotyping bites the dust. Soon we might even start believing ourselves that co-existance is a real possibility. I was at a funeral in Rosh Ha'Ayin this week, the largest Jewish town close to Kfar Kassem, and amongst the large throng of Jewish mourners, were several Arabs in traditional dress from Kfar Kassem. They mingled and chatted with the Jews without any problem. Nice to see the press reporting on this for a change, rather than reinforcing stereotypes as is usual
2. Dozens
eynav Benjamin ,   ny   (11.14.07)
What happen to the rest of the Arabs how enjoy the best living standard in the Middle East.

4. To Eynav
Benny ,   Charlotte   (11.15.07)
Is that why you are writing from NY also?
5. Whistling In The Wind
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (11.15.07)
Of course there are always some Arabs who only want to live in peace and have normal lives. However, there are MANY more who don't want that and dream of the day that Israel becomes an Arab country. This is unfortunately the truth, whether the dreamers want to believe this or not.
6. Very moving story - than u ynet!
abdullah ,   ashkenaz   (11.15.07)
The light at the end of the tunnel begins.
7. Arabs Rally for the captured soldiers.
Ramachandran Nair ,   Thiruvanathapuram   (11.15.07)
Will these Arabs organise a rally, or rather be permited yo do so, for the thousands of fellow innecent Palestenion arabs incarcerated and brutally treated in Israeli jails for whatever crimes Jews ascribe to.
8. #7 They are also targets of Pal terror
Lina ,   USA   (11.15.07)
Many Israeli Arabs have died as a result of Palestinian terror. Anyone who pays attention to the acts of violence against Israel knows the Palestinians are not innocent.
9. כל הכבוד
Eli ,   Amherst, MA   (11.15.07)
Nice to see Arabs who understand with whom they stand.
10. Develop Kfar Kassem now!
Adam ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.15.07)
We always treat our enemies better than our friends. Residents of Kfar Kassem have shown that they haven't jumped on the Jew hatred bandwagon. We must develop this town as much as possible.
11. Great!
Maks ,   Jerusalem   (11.15.07)
Hopefully those who took part in the rally won't be bullied by their families and friends. It is good to hear something like this. More people like them and the whole arab world would have a better life!
12. ## 7 real terror.
Ramachandran Nair ,   Thiruvanathapuram   (11.15.07)
what you mention contemptiously as 'pali terror' is really reaction to jewish terror on the native palestenions in their own home land.demolition of their homes , assasintions, breaking the limbs of teenagers and children for whatever crimes the jews may chose to ascribe
13. wasn't judas Iscariot Arab?
(11.15.07)
14. glad to see ynet decided to also post positive news
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (11.15.07)
about israel arabs
15. realism
simon ,   antwerp,belgium   (11.15.07)
Adina is absolutely right.Those nice arabs which are ralying for Gilat Shalit are a an almost non-existing minority.The vast majority of arabs hates Israel,they hate jews,they hate everything that is different from their religion.They hate everything that is different from their way of life.When those barbarians beheaded people in Irak,I didn't hear any arab protest against it.It is vital not to have any illusions concerning them.
16. #2 (Eynav)
Alex ,   Toronto   (11.15.07)
A few dozens is better than zero. Don't forget about the Arab IDF volunteers who fight and die for Israel.
17. #17 let's all try to remember that there is good and bad
rachel ,   usa   (11.15.07)
everywhere .......
