1. Worming out
Rina   (10.30.08)
Shmuel Ben Ishai has suddenly realized how inflamatory his remarks are and how the entire country now hates him, so suddenly he is using women and children to try to worm his way out "the abuse of the Federman family's women and children" - too late. Reminds me of our northern neighbors.
2. If this were an arab screaming,
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.30.08)
"death to the Jews",then it would not have made a news story. What happened to the Federman family was a disgrace. The families of murderous terrorists were given time to remove their belongings and to petition to the high court of arab justice. Jews have no rights here in Israel,but some day with a Jewish coalition all those responsible for giving the orders for this and carrying them out will be tried and jailed.
3. Sticks and stones,......
Gideon Reader   (10.30.08)
may break your bones, but words,...? Could get your butt locked up in a wanna be democracy> Wishes and thoughts must never cross your lips, Bunky, if you do not want to do brig time in the Graybar Motel of the Kakistocracy that is Israel.
4. What are real charges?
Yoel ,   Ra'nana   (10.30.08)
I can understant it's a kind of incitement to violence, but is it really serious? Will this guy go to Hamas people and explain what they should do? They don't need anyone's help for that. Instead of fighting the real ennemy, the IDF communicates against victims of that terrorism. I feel very sad for my country's future.
5. Wow, you can be arrested for thought crimes in Israel?
Jamie ,   London   (10.30.08)
Only if you're a Jew though, huh?
6. comments made by rightists
Yisraeli   (10.30.08)
I am glad he was arrested not because I think he did anything wrong. But coz this matter is now not swept under the carpet and I mean the brutality shown to a Jewish family. Let there be a trial and let all the horrid details be made widely public. Any normal person who cares for his jewish brothers and sisters would have felt the same way the accused did and I would have also directed the same comments to those who participated in this brutality. It is clear who the real inciters are and its not Ben Yishai. Let it receive wide publicity, I think it will backfire on those accusing him.
7. Long live free speech in a democracy!
Patriot ,   Israel   (10.30.08)
And what exactly is his crime other than expressing an opinion about the brutal yasamniks that beat up women and children?
8. About Time
Phillip ,   Brooklyn USA   (10.30.08)
GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
9. #5 Thought crimes
Nethanel ,   jerusalem   (10.30.08)
Former chief of intelligence (Shabak) Ami Ayalon, now a Knesset Member, revealed that Margalit Har-Shefi did not realize that Yigal Amir intended to assassinate PM Yitzchak Rabin. She was convicted in 1998 of failing to prevent the murder. In 2001, she began a serving a nine-month prison term. Obvoiusly Arabs and left winger are granted full free speech.
10. BLOOD LIBEL
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (10.30.08)
Ynet reminds one to blood libel incitement that occured in Europe for centuries. While illigal action was ignored by our lawless police force supported by an even more lawless knesset , the focus was only on a emotional outburst , which was warranted considering the Gestapo tactics used by our so-called security forces. Meanwhile these same forces are to impotent to stop daily rock attacks and other acts of terrorism. Most of the time Ynet's censorship will not allow any critisism on their relentless selfhating antisematic reporting. Without a doubt these kind of state sponsored progroms will not bring any blessings to the purpotrators of these violations and blatant violence towards our Jewish citizens.
11. Will Sternhell be arrested for wanting murder of settlers?
Feiglin Supporter ,   Lod   (10.30.08)
12. So thought is a crime now?
Antonio ,   Haifa   (10.30.08)
This country is becoming more fascist by the second.
13. Apparently freedom of speach only applies to some people
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.30.08)
Too bad. I served all those years to make sure we had freedom of speach and now the extreme leftist fascists want to selectively apply it. They have it, and anybody that disagrees with their point of view doesn't.
14. Free speech ends where incitement starts
Joe the terminator   (10.30.08)
In any democracy! If you don't understand that free speech has limits then go and shout TERRORIST in a packed theater.
15. Better arrest him for illegal settlement and theft
Justice   (10.30.08)
That's a lot more severe!
16. # 13 Well Said Gee
Larry ,   Zefat Israel   (10.30.08)
Freedom of speech only really exists for those who tow the party line,by the way where is that Nut Talula who loves to hate "The Settlers" ?
