1. extremism works !
Marcel ,   Florida   (11.20.08)
Look at how much the lemmings of Kadima & Labor have given to the Islamic extremists in return for thei violence. Keep up the fight dear settlers, it does pay in the end !
2. Jews fighting to keep their homes.
Bennie ,   Jerusalem   (11.20.08)
Radical left-wing extremists need to quit sending in the storm-troopers to evict Jews from their homes. Maybe there would not have been a Holocaust if Jews would have fought the storm-troopers coming to evict them.
3. Thanks for your bias againt last zionists
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (11.20.08)
4. #1 & #2 Do you really believe what you say?
John ,   Tel Aviv   (11.20.08)
Sorry folks, but you are not helpful to solve the problem. If everybody was like you, the world would have drowned in violance already!
5. charge courts with incitment
(11.20.08)
6. These people have too be put in jail.
Eric... ,   Israel...   (11.20.08)
They have no regard for the law.This has nothing too do with the way good Israeli people want this to go. These soo called religous people live for hate and violence.Violence against Jew or Arab means nothing too these people as long as its violence.The sad thing is the government dont do a damn thing.
7. Be aware that
Howard   (11.20.08)
The Peace House leaders asked for support and nearly a thousand showed up. Who were among them? Provocateurs? No doubt about it. Because the leadership made it explicit that it goes against their interest to resort to violence. The goal of the Jews living in a Jewish-owned house (there is plenty of proof in this regard) is to remain living in this house, not to injure police or soldiers. It is in the interest of the anarchists and leftists to create an atmosphere of chaos and present the Jews as being perpetrators of violence. The provocateurs are there to help in this regard. So let's read these reports with a critical eye. For a more balanced view, read Israel National News.
8. I think you mean police violence against Jewish communities
Rami ,   London & Israel   (11.21.08)
The "new-speak" in the Israeli media is disgusting.
9. That's a video? Here' s a video
LEE ,   NY, USA   (11.21.08)
To understand and remember clearly who the courageous Jews of Hebron are facing, take a look at this and then let them whine about a "soldier" being lightly injured. http://www.israel-wat.com/amona-video.htm (3RD ATTEMPT AT POSTING)
10. HELMET CAMERAS, HELMET CAMERAS!!!
LEE ,   NY, USA   (11.21.08)
It looks like this is going to be another pogrom by the cowardly state institutions.. Every brave soul who resists this injustice should be provided with helmets mounted with internal cameras. I would gladly help out financiing such an initiative and know of others who would too. Its also not too difficult to program these cameras to feed live video to the internet. The best way to prevent these atrocities is to expose them. After that images of the videos and pictures should be plastered on every light post, on every corner of the Land. The voters will then vote their conscious and will hopefully vote in a true Jewish government. This injustice must end!
11. did i miss something
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (11.21.08)
The video didn't seem clear to me - who was who on it? Was there more played in the local media. Because from this alone you can't tell what's going on. Was is it with the BTSelem people - have they ever defended anyone other than Pals and lefties?
12. So strange...
Uzziel   (11.21.08)
Nobody seems to be able to record the countless occasions when the arab settlers are engaged in violent and unlawful activity but for some reason the very few occasions, at least in comparison, when the jewish citizens of Judea are engaged in this kind of activity things are very well documented. Sooo strange...
13. PLEASE READ!!!
rachel ,   chutz4now   (11.21.08)
Are you sure it was Israeli citizens or Arab settlers? From INN Firebombs were thrown at an Israeli military vehicle and at a civilian one Thursday evening near Dir al-Razah, northwest of Hevron. No injuries or damage were reported. Army searches of the area produced two suspicious objects. They turned out to be dummy roadside bombs.
14. Left-wing radicals and anarchists should leave Israel.
Yacov ,   Chicago (& Ashkelon)   (11.21.08)
Israel would not even be a country if today's left-wing radicals and anarchists were in control back in the 1930's and 40's. They would have abandoned the country to the Mufti of Jerusalem.
15. #4, John from Tel Aviv
Ephraim   (11.21.08)
Yes, our way will drown in violence. But we'd rather drown in violence, then drown in a pool of Jewish blood, which is the logical outcome of your way.
16. analysis of a policemans tears
dirty shirt ,   usa   (11.21.08)
Police confirmed a youth was detained for questioning after he insulted a policeman. So the State of Israel has fallen to a new low. The only "stable" democracy in the Middle East has detoriated to this. A leftist judicial "junta" has wrested freedom from the hands of the people. Never before have I heard of someone being detained for "insulting a police officer. A number of questions remain: How sensitive was this particular officer? Were his tears warm and large, or did they merely flow intermittently? Was the poor baby immediately granted a leave of absence, or was he cruely left to sob into his soiled tissues. How will the questioning proceed? Imagine the wealth of information that can be gleaned from someone guilty of such a heinous crime. Truly a shameful day! i
17. IDF Spend Hours Painting Mosque InsteadOf DEFENDING ASHKELON
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.21.08)
From a barrage of rockets! FOR SHAME! The painting could have been done by Muslims, but Israeli leaders consider painting a mosque far more important than protecting Jewish lives! There is NO PROOF the graffitti was done by Jewish residents! Stop blaming without proof! It was probably done by Muslims or an agent provocateur - agent provocateurs are used in order to demonize Jewish residents of Judea/Samaria. The house was purchased legally proven by audio and video recordings showing the Arab seller admitting to the sale. STOP PERSECUTING JEWS! STOP STEALING JEWISH PROPERTY! Jews and other non-Muslims must have human rights!
18. I was going to use the term "news-peak" as well...
Leo ,   USA   (11.21.08)
but Rami from London beat me to it. Orwell's horror story - "1984" - has truly manifested and come alive in the modern state of Israel...a country with a truly tyrannical government with a media and brutal police force to back it. And yes Ynet thanks for using B'tselem as your source...a truly reliable source. you might as well start factually quoting neutra karta and pravda.
19. #2 Hindsight is always 20/20
Edithann   (11.21.08)
Have you thought the Palestinians might feel the same way about their legal homes? Why should the Palestinians give their homes and lands to the invading Jews who have no claim to any of Palestine? come on..can anyone answer that question...I've asked it enough... TATA
20. When Jews are denied justice in their own land
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (11.21.08)
Dichter speaks of the Rule of Law, but the operative rule in Israel seems to be "Don't challenge the Arabs or they'll get mad." Police in Jerusalem, for example, refuse to enforce an eviction order against Arab squatters on Jewish owned land. They won't prevent destruction of the Temple Mount by the Wakf, but will take in a Jew for questioning if he moves his lips there. They'll deem unauthorized Bedouin settlements "unrecognized", but unauthorized Jewish settlements "illegal". Polygamy is nominally illegal, but the Bedouin have no problem getting welfare payments for those extended families. Any Heaven help you if you have to threaten or use force to defend your family or property against Arab aggression; you're likely to be arrested. In Hebron the government is making clear it won't recognize the legal purchase of property by Jews in sensitive areas. THAT is what's going on here. Someone should explain to Dichter that Rule of Law is not doing what's expedient.
21. WHAT POINT DO 'EXTREME RIGHT ACTIVIST BECOME ISRAELS VOICE ?
..............DACON9   (11.21.08)
when wil the media say hey these people mean it and the numbers keep growing. Maybe we have to reevaluate what is happening here in ISRAEL. DACON9 jewswithviews@gmail.com
22. Preliminary injuntive relief
W. E. Brand ,   Alexandria, VA USA   (11.21.08)
What an odd ruling. Instead of preserving the status quo, the Court chooses to alter it. Where's the irreparable injury to the Arabs? The public interest is in stability in real property ownership. Look at the comparative burden on the Jews and the Arabs. What a nutty preliminary injunction.
23. Citizens revolt.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (11.21.08)
Cowardly people who are prepared to give away the heart of Israel to our sworn enemies feel threatened by fellow countrymen who represent bravery and a will to survive. For post-Zionists like Peres, the woman who happily raises her kids in Judea and Samaria is a constant reminder of his own gutlessness, leading him to develop a burning hate for the pioneering and strong 'Jew'. Nowaday, the religious settler is the emancipated Israeli, bedecked with side locks and tzitzit, and armed with the classic fundamentals of Zionist ideology : to ingather, to build, and to settle the land of Israel.

24. LEE #10 your contribution is overwhelming
ava ,   Ramat HaSharon   (11.21.08)
Gee Lee your contribution to the Jewish state is overwhelming. So instead of standing with your brothers in time of need you prefer to sit in the comfort of your NY appartment , writing talkbacks, how very brave of you. If we all behaved like you there would be no state of Israel.
25. Remove the trailer trash now
Avi ,   Ramat Gan   (11.21.08)
time to get tough with these lawless religious thugs who seem to think they are above the law of the land. Send in the troops and this time kick their ass.
26. U mean after Gush Katif Real Jews don't trust Gov't anymore?
Sarah   (11.21.08)
27. May Hashem protect the settlers and curse those who try to
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.21.08)
evict the residents.
28. how can Arabs talk with democratic peace partner like this?!
observer   (11.21.08)
29. settlers just follow the four-legged Israeli law
observer   (11.21.08)
>>Right of Return which only is a right for Jews ! >>Family reunification laws= which denies Palestinian Families to live together with their loved Israeli owns >>Present absentees = internally displaced Palestinians (who are today Israeli citizens) who are not allowed to live and go back to their original homes they were forced to flee in 1948 >>the fact that land in Israel is controlled by the Jewish National Found in which its constitutions is written that no Land of Israel is allowed to be sold to non Jews !
