1. "attacking pal store....."
yehuda.... ,   canada   (07.09.09)
well..well..well, don't like your own medicine...at least you wren't kidnapped, tortured for weeks and killed.
2. "Palestine is the heart of all the problems"
NYC Girl   (07.09.09)
If this isn't the biggest bunch of hyperbolic bullshit, I don't know what is. The only reason why the Palestinians have garnered as much attention as they have is because their adversary is Israel, and the fact that their situation has taken precedence over so many real human rights abuses is proof that it's not a humanitarian issue, but an ideological one.
3. bunch of young morons
Zvi   (07.09.09)
Why descend to the Islamists' level? There must be rule of LAW, not rule of gangsters, for EVERYBODY's protection. But I wonder if the Palestinian orgs condemn attacks on Jews with the same vigor that the Jewish orgs condemned this one? Of course, I don't really wonder, because they don't.
4. A jew that lived in france for 3 years!!!
Mo ,   usa   (07.09.09)
Let me ask you ynet why did that happen?? I bet the owner of the store was openly anti-semetic, and instegated jews. I lived in france for 3 years i know the sitoation very well.
5. Fakestinian nation? Give me a break...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (07.09.09)
Dishonest, deceptive people; liars who are engaged in a fraud. Spreading hatered towards Jews. Your store should've been closed years ago.
6. It looks like a "bookstore" carrying terror training manuals
Genuine Tosefta ,   Tveria   (07.09.09)
for Muslims and therefore the police doesn't dare closing it. These youths did a favor to the scared frogs by exposing it to the media. In any event this is no comparison to the murder of Ilan Halimi by Jihadi Muslims who learned their hatred of Jews from the likes of this store
7. the protestors r muslems, mmm paris riots
ghostq   (07.09.09)
weren't forgotten. but it's to late to many muslems bought big pieces of france sooner or later the riots against chritians will renew, paris won't be so romantic but crime infested slums.
8. Was there any actual evidence?
Avi Noam ,   Jerusalem   (07.09.09)
Sounds like an anti-Semitic excuse to have a rally and incite some more hatred towards Israel.
9. bloody french
Anon ,   Johannesburg   (07.09.09)
as a south african, i can honestly say that a book store of such, would of been closed very early, for racisim is not taken lightly here. The french on the other hand have a dispicable nature of hate that endorses this kind of "freedom" France has and will again pay the price. To conclude, if the Pal wanted peace they would have it, but they prefer war, because that way they recieve hand outs from the world. Israel would love peace - its good for business, but Israel's begger neibours refuse all the time
10. Proper
joe ,   TLV   (07.09.09)
Proper english BS the police should burn down the shop
11. JDL France denies any involvement

12. This bookstore
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.09.09)
It served as a meeting and planning site for anti-Israel boycotts and divestment campaigns. Those who operated this store had no problem devising ways to damage and destroy Israeli owned or supported businesses.
13. To Mo
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (07.09.09)
I lived 27 years in France and I can tell you that there is more hatred against muslims than jews... There is almost no antisemitism in France, it's only in your jewish american brain, washed by Israeli propaganda, that this exists.
14. Kudos to the JDL
Brian   (07.09.09)
May terrorists have no rest anywhere.
15. ATTACK ON PAL STORE
ANGELINA ,   HOLO, ISRAEL   (07.09.09)
such stores fuel the anti-semitism with their materials. I do not agree with violence of any sort. It is the government who should cesor materials that might cause riots and attacks on any population. A grain of tolerance would not hurt too.
16. Bravo!
David ,   Sydney   (07.09.09)
Bravo to those brave young jews. When will mainstream jews learn that appeasement and letters to the editor don't work? How can I donate to the French JDL?
17. To nr 4 usa
Mike Van Harris ,   Antwerp Belgium   (07.09.09)
You are not only stupied,but an idiot also. Palestinians are semetic. How they can be anti-semetic. what those people did was pure terror and they must be brought to justic. There are a lot of jews in Europe and to every action there is equal and opposit reaction, think about it.
18. to #13 : There is antisemitism in France
Gilbert ,   Paris   (07.09.09)
All schools, cultural centers, main synagogues of the jewish community have to be protected by the police. You have to be controlled like in th airport when you enter these buildings. During the jewish holidays you can see many police officers with bullet-proof vests around these buildings. In my precinct in Paris, isolated jews with kipa are attacked by "jeunes" (youngs).
19. French Brutality
Yonatan ,   Yerushalayim   (07.09.09)
France has occupied the North Eastern Basque region, oppressed and brutalized it's population for 200 years They call the Basque separatists "terrorists" because they don't want to suffer under French domination.The Basques were documented there by the Roman Empire before there was a French people. The same Roman Empire documented Jews in Judea (Eretz Yisrael), later renamed Palestine by the Romans after the revolt of 135 CE. The Romans have no record of Arabs living in Judea. The Basques have a REAL claim of an ancestral homeland, unlike the fakestinians. France should get out of occupied Basque land before it tells others what to do!
20. To #17 - Mike
dan ,   tel aviv   (07.09.09)
That's the most pathetic thing I have ever heard in my life. Trying to say that Palestinians cannot be anti-semetic because they are semites... I hate to quote Wikipedia, and sorry for the brutality, but following the lack of respect you showed to the dude from the USA, you shall get none from me: Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism; also known as Judeophobia) is a term used to describe prejudice against or hostility towards Jews, often rooted in hatred of their religion, culture, or ethnic background. While the term's etymology might suggest that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic peoples, it has been used exclusively to refer to hostility toward Jews since its initial usage, since "Semite" is a common synonym for "Jew". In closing, You Sir, "are not only stupid, but an idiot also..."
21. Ynet's... strange... choice of stories
Ari ,   Gush Etzion, Israel   (07.09.09)
How sickening that ynet decided it would be a good idea to publish a story about this isolated incident, as opposed to the daily attacks - often far more violent than this one - that pro-Arab supporters and leftists carry out against Jews on a regular basis!
22. to #17 belgium that's because the origin
ghostq   (07.09.09)
of palisr shady, befor the 80's they were called arab gangs. they can have turkish as well as kurdish origin, meaning un semetic people. duh.
23. How many have been arrested for attacks on Jews in France?
rebecca ,   modiin   (07.09.09)
There have been many attacks on Jews and Jewish buildings in France. How many have been arrested in connection with these attacks. The police renames one such attack "normal overactive teenager behavior", rather than investigate it. But when the Pals are attacked, immidatly the people the point to are arrested. Sorry call it unfair. I call it anti-semitism - in France.
24. Gregg cut the crap
Benji ,   Paris   (07.09.09)
Antisemitism is huge in France. It is part of the culture. If you've lived in France you would understand when I say: "il y a un antisemitisme latent en France." Make your own survey in France and you will realize that if you ask any non jew what they think about jews and judaism it will rarely be positive. The positive stuf you'll here is that jews are rich and jews are powerful ... 2 huge arguments put forward by the nazis and any antisemites. During the 2nd world war the french did not hesitate to go further than the nazi when it came to get rid of the jews, the worse case is "la rafle du Vel d'Hiv" a place very close to where I grew up. I would agree with you when you say that the French dislike as much or maybe more arabs/muslims people. However, the french are scared sh*t-less of them and feel guilty for their colonial past. And rather look the other way anytime they have to confront muslims. The french on the other hand are happier to sacrifice the jews in order to please the muslims. Now talking about israeli propaganda and american brain wash, please get real, because if you have not figure out that any news medium in the world has a political agenda and that being fair and balanced is not one of them you are just being naive. However, Amercian and Israel are both a democracy and in a democracy there are tools available to the people if the media get out of hands. There is no more american or israeli brain wash than french, german, danish or Italian brain wash. There is always a political agenda behind the author or the news medium.
25. a taste of their own poison!
oded   (07.09.09)
doesn't feel so good ,ha zamour ,being on the recivieng side... well, get used to it- the french jews are fed up with hypocrites like you.. and the time has come to start evening the score! btw, what is a """""pali """store?
26. The owner of this store
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.09.09)
was on the same candidates list for last elections , as this dieudonne who was condemned [ i'm quite sure ] for his antisemite remarks [ cfr a tb on this site given in # 11 , in French ] It says enough .
27. Benji # 24
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (07.09.09)
Yes "il y a un antisemitisme latent" en France . The French did more than what was asked by the occupying nazis , Le Vel D'hiv was only the greatest "action" But you had Le Chambon sur Lignon [ you know ? ] You had that around 75 % of France's Jews survived . You had that France acknowledged the responsability of the "etat francais" for the deportations . You have that France is paying every Jewish orphan from parents deported from France a monthly pension , without any condition regarding nationality , place of living and so . I lived in western Europe and what i heard was : we had'nt to fear the Jews when they lived in our neighborhood [ now it are muslim immigrants who live there ] It has to be the same in France , they don't like Jews very much , but they dislike those others more . I'm not French at all
28. Once again we see self-righteous Hebrews
goyboy ,   tel aviv, israel   (07.21.09)
You Jews don't get it. You don't own the world, it's people and their minds.
