1. COLLAPSING CORRUPT STATE
Marcel ,   Florida   (12.04.08)
Rockets fall daily on Israel and the DM, does nothing. Israel is invaded by the Hezbollah and Hamas and Barak does nothing. However, the IDf, is used to evict Jew's from their homes in what some people think is the Jewish state. The police won't stop organized crime, however, the police evict Jew's from their homes. The law re quires the police must wear name tags. However, our police do not need to obey the law. Is it any wonder the Arabs feel, they eventually, will win?
2. Update
Joseph ,   Israel   (12.04.08)
The news reported that Right wingers threw acid in a policeman's eyes. MDA reports that this is false, it was flour and no harm is done.
3. Remove the settlers from Ocupied Palestine now
Avi ,   Ramat Gan   (12.04.08)
Well a good day for democracy, well done to out soldiers and police in dealing with these settler thugs and restoring democracy.
4. sad day for democracy
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (12.04.08)
When the government refuses to protect its own citizens, (S'derot) ejects peaceful citizens who lived in communities that the government helped build (Gush Katif), shows its willingness to give up vast areas of land will no promise, no odor, of peace. A government that lost the war in the North, a government whose head (?) must resign for coruption, whose president almost ended in jail for rape (TG the courts saved him, to bad for the girl) Yet they are willing to break the heads of good Jews - and all of this makes the leftists feel good, seems sick to me.
5. stone throwers
Bill Staar ,   Chicago USA   (12.04.08)
When the Palestinians were the ones throwing stones the IDF used rubber bullets on them, water cannons, and worse. The world is watching the Israeli Government, with the hope that they protect all their citizens. Please set a good example for the Palestinian security forces. Undoubtedly they will be faced with similar situation with their population at sometime in the future.
6. maybe also in 1936 it was the mitnahalim?
abrahsm ,   jerusalem israel ?   (12.04.08)
lucky that in 1936 the israeli ibjective press was not present when jews were murdered
7. People will die because of barak's hatred of the settlers.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.04.08)
8. Just got back from hebron - the settler teens are animals
Bill Brasky ,   Jerusalem   (12.04.08)
And zion on any one of you writing from Florida or Brooklyn - you have no idea what the hell you're talking about. Unruly 15 year-old boys with kipas set fire to Palestinian houses. Where is that katuv b'Torah? Thank God they're out of that house. Those sick, twisted little bastards got exactly what they deserved.
9. Thanks to people like Bill Brasky who hate their own instead
(12.04.08)
of fighting the enemy this country is busy destroying jewish lives. Shame on you all! Let me see you as strong against the Jerusalem terrorists houses.
10. THANK YOU # 8
papajay   (12.04.08)
11. this the land of the Jew and the Jew only
deb ,   akko   (12.04.08)
12. #3 - Avi, Ramat Gan is just as "occupied" as Hebron...
Joe ,   Ramat Gan   (12.04.08)
Ramat Gan is just as "occupied" as Hebron in the mind of the average Palestinian. If you feel so strongly about "ending the occupation", why don't you just head back to Galut, where your values and mentality obviously stem from. You'll be doing everybody a favor...
13. "Peace house" indeed...
Chaim   (12.04.08)
How long will we have to continue tolerating this sort of insane behavior? You see, they were evacuated from the "peace house", so they decided to shoot some Palestinians and call it even. Sounds fair, right?
14. pandoras box
Yisraeli   (12.04.08)
the Gov. has opened pandoras box, theres 'mered' in the air and justified. Halevay it would be mered across the country with all politicians arrested and face a peoples court, but I wont hold my breath the population being lazy and lethargic. We'll see when all the missiles start raining down on us.
15. Out of Control
guy ,   los angeles   (12.04.08)
One commentator in the US has already compared this to the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn in the early '90s---these teenaged idiots have already damaged Israel and the status of the West Bank settlements...Settlers you've letting fools set your agenda!!
16. Chilul Hashem
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (12.04.08)
"Israeli troops fight Jewish settlers in Hebron" That's a top headline from the AP tonight. We have sunk to an all-time low. We all ought to be deeply ashamed of the State, its Government and politicians. May G-d save us from them.
17. South Africa like incidents
Geno ,   usa   (12.05.08)
If this were happening in South Africa, the whites aginst the blacks, the world would be united in protesting, and Israel would be among them. What has happened to Israel's soul?
18. Same old slander.
Michael ,   Petach Tikva   (12.05.08)
Some of this may be true. Most of it is exactly like the claimed acid attack on a soldier by a settler - slander.
19. Jewish "activests" attemting to take Palestinen land.
Tom Clark ,   Mt. Vernon USA   (12.05.08)
As a citizen of the US i am in favor of cutting of the aproximately 2 billion in aid ( my tax money) to Israel until Palestine is an independent state with all rights, including access to the sea.
20. A different solution – Well-being instead politics.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (12.05.08)
Instead of counting the daily dead and injured Arab as a result of the terrorist war they declared on Israel, it would be wiser for the Arabs to abandon politics and terrorism, and search for a better future for themselves and their children, to choose well-being instead of politics and understand that a “Palestinian state” is not the solution to their misery. Huge amounts have already been paid by the international community in order to help these people but the only beneficiary were the Arab politiciens. Even if there will be a “Palestinian state” the conditions of the population will not improve. The solution to their misery is elsewere : they should think about emigrating, discretely, to other Arab countries before it is too late, (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). That is the real solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8
