Adi Cohen   (01.10.09)
Anyone know why this was held on Shabbat???
6. Where's the Peace
Marcel ,   Florida   (01.10.09)
We keep hearing the promise of land for peace. Me thinks the moslems have a different definiotion for peace than Israel does
7. The peace scam
Frank ,   Canada   (01.10.09)
The IDF operation against Hamas is the true peace rally.
8. Peace is good
desdichado ,   Washington DC   (01.10.09)
May peace be upon Israel and Palestine. I think the IDF should give a good kick in the butt to the Hamas terrorists, and then I will go hand in hand with innocent Palestinians civilians.
9. this is a good thing to see
rebecca ,   modiin   (01.10.09)
10. NO TO HOLDING ARAB/PALESTINIAN HANDS
sandi ,   chicago   (01.10.09)
Shame on those Israelis. The arabs and the palestians are THE ENEMY. Your are traitors to Israel.
11. I was there
Yael ,   Tel Aviv   (01.10.09)
I was there and it was very powerful. I heard about it accidentally and the reason I felt attracted to it was becuase it was not a demonstration AGAINST, but a demostration FOR - For the fact that it is possible to live together and for the feeling that the solution lies in coming together - not in adding more and more separation. Most of the responses from passing vehicles were positive which was heart warming.
12. Definitely pro-peace here
Chris ,   Bologna, Italy   (01.10.09)
That is why my friends in Israel must eliminate the suicidal mass murdering death cult called Hamas. Once all the sick murderers who committed the passover massacre and blew up an old woman in Dimona are eliminated the world can start hoping for peace. It will be tough, but it looks like we are on the road to peace.
13. I have no objection to this rally
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.10.09)
The more we could make the Israeli-Arabs feel close to Jewish Israelis, and a part of this country - the better. And if the rally is peaceful and not disrupting traffic, if there is no burning of Israeli flag and no inciteful rhetoric over there, then why not - we're a democratic country. Only they must understand that the current operation is necessary. Israel will not let its citizens live under fire and would do whatever it takes to ensure our safety. Any other country would do the same. After we ensure this - we are all very much ready to live in friendship and harmony together with our Arab neighbors, inside and outside Israel - ahlan wa-sahlan.
14. MINORITY OF THE MINORITY!
NO ONE CARES ,   ABOUT FALSE "PEACE"   (01.10.09)
15. well said Jews-Arabs hold peace rally
Shomer Shabbat ,   Jerusalem   (01.10.09)
If they desecrated the shabbat they are like Arabs, Jews keep Shabbat, and if not they end up siding with the Arabs And that Zechut we will defeat the enemy
16. Well said Tahl
Chris ,   Bologna, Italy   (01.10.09)
I admire your tolerance. Where are the peace rallies in the West Bank though? Where are those coming out in the streets opposing the Qassams that led to the conflict in Gaza? I'm waiting for them to come out into the streets and to chant "Salam a'lan" "Salam Al yom"
17. #11 Show us how really powerful you would feel by going to
gaza & holding the ,   hands of hamass!!!!   (01.10.09)
18. #11 How warm does your heart feel in knowing that the goals
of fatah,&hamas are ,   to kill you????   (01.10.09)
19. #10 Sandi
Dave ,   Tel Aviv   (01.10.09)
Come to Israel and then your opinion will matter. Shame on Jews like you who call Israelis, who want peace, names while sitting in the USA.
20. to yael,tel aviv..
Safia ,   Algeria   (01.10.09)
this is what we really need...toda raba...
21. Message of Orthodox Jews
Human   (01.10.09)
Orthodox Jews, with reference to the true position of the Torah and authentic unadulterated Judaism claim that "The true Jews remain faithful to Jewish belief and are not contaminated with Zionism. The true Jews are against dispossessing the Arabs of their land and homes. According to the Torah, the land should be returned to them." Please visit NKUSA.ORG
22. Israeli Arabs
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.10.09)
They , as everyone in the world , want a bright future for their children . We Israeli Jews don't want our children and grandchildren to have to fight and fight . We ALL want to live in peace . Most of you don't know what it means to live in peace , they had'nt this experience i've enjoyed while living in West Europe . Sadly to say , there are'nt much such sincere pro peace manifs in our region , and we see some tb's that are'nt in this direction either .
23. 15 , shomer shabbat
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.10.09)
You make me thinking at those charidim who wanted to block the entrance to Jerusalem to the Palmach unit who had fought their way to bring them food . "you don't enter the Holy town on Shabbat" they shouted .
24. Anti-Zionist Israelis not a new fad
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.10.09)
The real question is "how do we expect Israeli Arabs to show loyalty to the state when so many Israeli Jews also work to promote our enemies?"
25. No. 21 Human
NYC Girl   (01.10.09)
I hope you're ready for the responses you're going to get because I suspect that trying to peddle your religious fanaticism on an Israeli site is going to unleash a firestorm of vitriol. Naturei Karta are the worst bunch of traitors, and if it weren't for the fact that Israel is a democracy, the government probably would have rounded you all up and shipped you to Brooklyn...or to Teheran where you can genuflect before the Iranian fascists.
26. Why didn't they rally when the kassam fell?
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (01.10.09)
27. 21 , haman not human
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.10.09)
Only netoure karta , satmar and some charidim think the way you wrote . The TRUE Orthodox Jews are GOOD Israelis , who defend their country , who work and are Zionists .
28. Ilan 24
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.10.09)
To be a Zionist is it contrary to want peace ? Yes , i want to live in peace [ not at any price as i wrote already more than once ] , yes i'm a Zionist who made Alyah because of this . And now , what will you add ?
29. #4 ignorant Rachel, visit nabeul.net
mushi ,   Nabeul   (01.10.09)
please visit the website of tunisia's town nabeul made by a jew for both arab and jew community of Nabeul (in Tunisia) For your information, ask the tunisian leaving in israel who left tunisia and they will tell you that they prefer returning back to Tunisia leaving with their arabic neighbours ! but it is normal that you are ignorant, your adress show it ;-)
30. Arab Israeli peace
Jason ,   Zichron Yacov Israel   (01.10.09)
Looking at a pro Palestinian idea for peace. It seems good, but is full of misconceptions. ""Israel to withdraw back to the 67 borders. Israel to dismantle the illegal settlements. Ending the illegal occupation, no more road blocks, settlements, home demolitions, jewish only roads, etc. A jewish state within the 67 borders, and a fully autonomous and continous Palestinian state with control of it's borders and full sovereignty.""" All sounds good, but it was Yassir Arafat that did not agree to the above offered to him at Camp David because he wanted all of Jerusalem too and got nothing. How quickly the Palestinians forget. Furthermore, the Gazan population is not an innocent bystander. They voted for Hamas democratically, a representative whose known and proudly stated aim is the killing of Jews with suicide bombers and the destruction of Israel. Proportinality in this war would mean the destruction of Gaza. If anything in Gaza is spared then the Israelis were being good to the Gazan's.
