1. Odd story lacks substance
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.24.10)
Unprovoked attack. Yet a settler was injured. Document illegal construction but filmed on Shabbat when presumably no one would work. Any reputable journalist would ask for the unedited tape.
2. Take guns with you and shoot back!
Dan ,   Raanana, Israel   (01.24.10)
3. Vicious and ferocious settlers
Avi   (01.24.10)
4. lynch attempt?!?!??!
eye ,   JLM   (01.24.10)
they call these little teenage boys throwing rocks a "lynch attempt">?!?!?! granted rocks can cuase damage or even kill, a bunch of teenagers throwing rocks in the west bank is COMMON and not quite what you would call a lynch. arabs throw rocks at jews all the time- whats new?! if youre an activist coming to tape angry youth in the W. Bank wear a friggin helmet! DUH! i know one of the kids in this video. he is a child. im think 15 years old/!?!??! kids that age are angry at the world, their parents and any person who gets in their way. they live in little makeshift camps on that hill. and seriously, who cares. theyre children for Gds sake!! these are hardly hardkore hooded settlers - theyre just a bunch of kids doing balagan. so what. blablahhhblahhhh
5. leftist
tzachi ,   montreal canada   (01.24.10)
this guy looks like binladen and acts like him thay are worse than the arabs and you are not imbaresed to call them peace actvists. shame on you.
6. Completely staged . Good show .
Mike ,   Los Angeles   (01.24.10)
7. "peace activists"
RB ,   USA   (01.24.10)
Why not call them what they really are- "anti-Jewish activists".
8. Radical Left Activists
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (01.24.10)
While I declare first of all that it's a bad thing to attack others (in Shabat even more) I am sure this "well intentioned activists" know that Shabat is holy for Jews (even they don't think it is) So coming in Shabat, with cameras, enter the yshuv to film what they "consider" illegal, is at least not a good will gesture. To do so is their own desicion and for sure they know that if you bother anybody, maybe this person will react, so please, stay at home, don't try to disturb other people's Shabat and things like these will not happen. It's just a question of giving respect to receive respect.
9. Their very presence in this area is a provocation!
Berl ,   formerly of Seattle   (01.24.10)
Peace now should be in Gaza or Beirut
10. Unprovoked?
Loyal Jew ,   Efrat   (01.24.10)
Being a "leftist activist" is already a provocation, against Hashem and the Torah.
11. :: Yesha Yobs
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (01.24.10)
Another video clip for YouTube showing the mindless violence by those ‘law abiding, peace loving’ illegal settlers. Has anyone here ever bothered to do a search on YouTube for clips of settler violence? It is astounding the level of wanton hate and violence that these thugs met out. I look forward to the day when these illegal settlers are removed from the Palestinian WB and relocated back to Israel proper, I also sincerely hope that they are housed beside those poster on this thread that have defended this act of violence.
12. the tones didn't even hit nobody
ghostq   (01.24.10)
the lefties just stood there smiling, so what's the big deal Lefties like to make pointless noise.
13. "Hooded" yeah right
Z Lando ,   Tekoa, Israel   (01.24.10)
This video is all a fabrication! Anyone who believes this bull is either left wing radical or stupid (probably both...)
14. :: Other recent attacks...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (01.24.10)
...by the vanguard of Israeli PR. Jan 14 - 15, illegal settlers burned two Palestinian cars and a tractor and destroy approx 70 olive trees. Jan 19, illegal settlers desecrated a Palestinian graveyard.
15. Hoods and Masks are Hamas Symbols
emanon ,   USA   (01.24.10)
16. #14
(01.24.10)
Get with the program. Extreme-Left organization admitted the alleged Muslim graveyard desecration was staged.
17. no provocation?
Yoni ,   Tel Aviv   (01.24.10)
no provocation? you go to video and document "illegal" building as if you are the law. You walk into their homes with the objective of having them thrown out and their houses torn down. Can there be a bigger provocation? Imagine if I came to your home with a video camera looking for building violations to report you. There are no other words than traitors
18. Leftist Video Tape
Bruria   (01.24.10)
Just like the last one where they were caught in a lie. These people are instigating hatred and division. It is not their job to attack soldiers and Israelis. They want to demonstrate? Let them go to Gaza and stand their. We can do without these dishonest anti-semites (even if they do claim to be Jews!)
19. Strange
Pragmatist   (01.24.10)
First, how do you even know who is under the mask. Isn't that the disguise of most arabs in gaza and west bank who are causing trouble? Secondly, I thought stones are no big deal. Right, you can't really do any damage with stones. That's what they say when IDF soldiers are being pelted by "stones" aka: large rocks that can split your skull open. It's kinda like the same argument that those little, homemade rockets do no harm in Sderot and elsewhere since they are just being launched on Israeli citizens. I think the world needs to know what it's like to be terrorized then they will know what they are talking about when they dismiss attacks on the sovereign state of Israel.
20. :: Anon - #14 - Prove it...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (01.24.10)
In that case you should be able to prove this statement. Or did you read this bit of disinformation on some rabid extreme-rightwing Jewish website?
21. to #14 we saw that photo nice try
ghostq   (01.24.10)
the car just neded a lil paint but it wasn't proven that the car was bought or "borowed" from Israelis, just in case you didn't get the hint cause normally you don't palis steal so many cars from Israelis. and the GPS can check that up.
22. to #20 nearly forgot some of palis r staged
ghostq   (01.24.10)
that includes digging old bones to show the media massacre that never happened.
23. The operative word here
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.24.10)
.. would be "hooded." I've seen more than my share of "brave" hooded Palestinians, even in demonstrations in New York. Hard to tell who is behind a hooded face and head, isn't it? And I note particularly the remarkable absence of tzitzit. The shirts on the stone-throwers, while worn outside the trousers, are not long enough to hide tzitzit. What we are looking at is clear provocation by disguised individuals. Nothing more.
24. To: No. 20
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.24.10)
The poster at No. 16 does not have to prove anything. Those who made the allegations of desecration must prove their version of events. That's how things work in democratic systems, didn't you know? The accused need not prove innocence; the accuser must prove guilt. When it became evident that any prolonged investigation would prove that Moslems were responsible for desecrating the graves, the accusations were quickly withdrawn and acknowledged to be staged. My personal preference would be for Israeli authorities to pursue the investigation anyway. Desecration of graves is a despicable -- and punishable -- crime -- even if the perpetrators are Arab Moslems, and even if the findings of the investigation would prove highly embarrassing to the Moslem community.
25. :: Sarah B - #24
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (01.24.10)
If one makes a stupid statement (lie) such as "Extreme-Left organization admitted the alleged Muslim graveyard desecration was staged" they need to back this up with proof. In truth they (or you) can't. Lets see, illegal settlers visit a Muslim graveyard and when they leave it is desecrated. Unless you have any evidence to prove otherwise I think this is pretty clear cut. We also have a very, very long list of documented reports and video clips of illegal settlers destroying Palestinian property and attacking innocent civilians. I think that any doubt that these illegal settlers are 'innocent' of any 'wrongdoing' has been rubbished a long time ago. I think one of the best documented cases of mindless and cowardly settler violence has been the repeated attacks on innocent Palestinian schoolchildren as they travel to and from school. I’m sure you will agree that this act of hatred perpetrated by the illegal settlers *for years* is despicable and punishable however it should be noted that these settler thugs have not been arrested or charged. So much for so-called Israeli justice/investigations.
26. on Saturday ? what bulls..t is this?...anyone can dress and

28. Hoods = Hamas
Drewkowski ,   Miami, USA   (01.24.10)
You are kidding right? For mellinia people have been using masks to conceal their identity during crimes, or through fear of the state, and here you esentially say Hamas has a monopoly on the symbol. And anyone with a mustache is hitler too, right?
29. GRAVE AND HATEFULL, MATTED RACIST ALLEGATIONS
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (01.24.10)
THEIS MATTED RACIST IS RUN OF THE MILL BULLY. DOES HE HAVE A LITTLE ' KNOWLEDGE " ....MAYBE. DOES HE HAVE DISTORTED VIEWPOINTS .....YES ! DOES HE LIE REPEATIDLY.... YES. DOES HE MAKE FALSE, UNTRUE CHARGES AGAINST " ILLEGAL JEWISH " SETLLERS "..........YES. HOW ARE JEWS " ILLEGAL " ON JEWISH LAND ? JEWS CANNOT BE " ILLEGAL " IN THEIR OWN LAND, THE LAND OF ISRAEL.
