31. to #23 about israeli pre-IDF trips
SomeGuy ,   Israel   (07.20.10)
The thing is that the educated and well mannered people in Israel mostly don’t go on this kind of trips pre-IDF but rather take this precious time to study, work out and stuff like that. This is an important time when getting drunk isn’t a good use to it, so you get more bad mannered people doing it then good mannered. Try looking at Israelis trips after IDF or family trips and you will find its different people.
32. Stupid parents
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (07.20.10)
Why would anyone let their under 18 minor child go out of the country unchaparoned? Furthermore, the drinking age should be 21 as in the US. Im a middle aged woman and last year I was carded in Tennessee when I bought beer. It was kind of funny.
33. Unruly teens are the least of your worries
David   (07.20.10)
Unruly teens do not cause the most damage to Israel's image. The occupation does.
34. Israeli teens
Golani ,   Vineland, USA   (07.20.10)
Let's face it, most Israeli teens may not act this way, but for those that do, they cause real damage to Israel's image. As Israelis leave for trips abroad, they should be given a brochure on the right way to act abroad.
35. this kids are ok!!!!
yosi ,   panama   (07.20.10)
THE PROBLEM IS THE SISTEM!!! IF AM ISRAEL WAS GOVERNED ACCORDING TO TORAH NONE OF THIS AND ALL KIND OF PROBLEMS WE HAVE OR HAD (INCLUDING THE ARABS , THE SHOAH , ETC..) WILL HAPPEN ; ALTHOUGH I KNOW THAT IMMEDIATELY I WILL BE CRITICIZED BY ALL OF THOSE THAT DON'T WANT TO RECIVE THE YOKE OF THE MITZVOT ; AND HAVE ALL KIND OF EXCUSES FOR CONTINUING THEIR "EASY NON OBLIGATION " KIND OF LIFE. IT'S TOO MUCH ALREADY; LOOK EVERY DAY NEWS; WHAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR; DON`T HAVE TO GO ON DETAILS ; WE`VE REACHED THE WORSE . PLEASE DEAR BROTHERS WE NEED TO WAKE UP URGENTLY ! ! !
36. #23 About caring while they are at home.
Josh   (07.20.10)
I have seen different. Meah Sharim last time I was there looked like a landfill with garbage and unkempt buildings. The lack of codes or enforcement have much of tel aviv looking like a ghost town after a flood. Heck even their sons and daughters are slathered in tatoos looking like some truckers fanstasy more than ""chosen ones". I can't count the number of times I had to go head to head with the neighbors for leaving trash outside for the cats to spread all over the place. I was half tempted to help paint green and yellow on the wall because I started thinking I lived in the Palestinina territories rather than a upper class Israeli neighborhood. The PA -another fantabulous example of mistreatment of G-d's good land. I tried stressing the part of Torah where G-d leaves Israel to be conquered if they don't bury thier doody, but the neigbor left the beuve overflow for six months. I guess loosing in war is preferred over sanitation. Good think Karin Kayemet is only renting the land to them. G-d forbid they actually own it and mistreat it.- (kidding actually He commands it, yet Rabbis don't seem to care that nearly 100% or us are renters. Only Arabs seem to be allowed to actually hold deeds.) Hats off to the Israelis who do care after the land.
37. hooligans
mike cohen ,   kansas city,mo,usa   (07.20.10)
SHAME.SHAME. At least they didn't call the greeks ANTI SEMITES. Those kids should thrown in jail.
38. wrong headline. drunks, stupid teenagers thrown out! i'd do
ralph   (07.20.10)

39. and right so!
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.10)
such teens have to carry the consequences... and think twice next time.... this is no excuse, that us tourist, or from other countries, behave like them!
40. to # 6
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.10)
start Salma with you arabs boys, accosting Jewish girls in a boorish manner.. teach them to respect others.. and learn yourself respect the freedom to write in a Jewish newspaper.... every post you put here is full of hate, self-satisfaction and bigheaded...
41. greek island
sas ,   israel   (07.20.10)
IF they did misbehave and IF rthey did cause damage they should be thrown out.
42. #9 Tiki
cassie ,   UK   (07.20.10)
Tiki, take that chip off your shoulder! Don't you know that Brits/Dutch/Belgians etc also get thrown out of places for bad, drunken behaviour. BTW - nice how you try to twist this around and blame everyone else for the bad, drunken behaviour of Israeli youth...Tut-tut
43. Ynet: the world leaders in censorship?
Marco ,   Spain-world champs   (07.20.10)
Why did you censor my post Ynet? Cant you handle the truth? Or were you forced to do that by your military censors? Have you ever wondered why you people are hated so much around the world? Does arrogance, stupidity, criminal behaviour, superiority complex ring a bell? Why dont you study Hezbollah and try to learn lessons from your mighty enemy? While your popularity world wide is at an all time low, the popularity of Hezbollah today is at an all time high. I wonder why?
44. We have become not only....
Yunan Amram ,   Israel   (07.20.10)
an embarrasment to our religion, b ut to the whole human race as well.
45. How absurd ! To say that a group..
Paul ,   USA   (07.20.10)
of drunken and disorderly Israeli teens, make the entire country "look bad ", is moronic. It's a safe bet to say that there are idiots of all nationalities, who misbehave in different areas of the globe. But of course, because it's Israeli teens, that's a different story !
46. bad behavior means bad parenting
daniel ,   finland   (07.20.10)
this universal phenomenon is now made into a national crisis? israelis might be devoid of manners but i have witnessed such unruly behavior by non-israelis as well. sad that the antisemites can have a field day with this .
47. Take away their passports for while..
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.20.10)
That will learn'm good.
48. Secular Israeli "Y" Generation: Worst Ever!
iObserver and News ,   US/Israel   (07.20.10)
The Israeli "millenium" generation has revealed itself to be among the worlds most dispicable generation in generations. Arrogant, ignorant and completely self-indulgent, they've wreaked havoc everywhere they've gone. In the states they are despised as thugs and often arrested, thrown out of apartment complexes and a great cause of humiliation for ALL Jews. Their drug use in the states is widely known and they always appear to be completely aimless about life, not simply because they're young but because of their parents indifference and lax attitude. It so sad that after 2,000 years of exile, we've become the most hated nation in the world community on so many different levels that one loses the ability to find a way to defend their own people when things like this happen. The IDF turns a blind eye to this garbage all the time which does not help. Regardless of the pressure of the IDF soldiers, this new generation is sinking the final nail into Israels coffin. If we can't be decent people when we're on vacation, who the he'll is going to believe we're decent on the battlefield or when fighting for our soveriegnty? NO ONE. These idiots have given the world one more reason to hate the Jews ( yes, the JEWS: the world community does not seperately Israelis from Jews or secular and religous Jews). It's purely disgusting. The Israeli government had better nip this one in the bud NOW or we are SCREWED and with no place left to hide. Shame on these thugs AND their parents!!! A million times over. Hope these loonies enjoyed their 'party' because the party is just about over for all of us if we don't straighten ourselves out.
49. Greece is a failed state.
Ben Hur ,   Manhattan, USA   (07.20.10)
50.  Marco , Spain (world chimp)
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (07.20.10)
51. Why is this news?
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.20.10)
What's next man bites dog?
52. so where are the picter all talk???
(07.20.10)
53. These boys want to have fun. Wonderful!
Frank ,   USA   (07.20.10)
54. Boys, dont pay attention at the dumb people..
Dan ,   USA   (07.20.10)
Let them argue with you. Have a good time. The old people are just jealous of your youth. Let them bark to the Moon!
55. #15 eye witness account ??
Jason ,   Israel   (07.20.10)
Has anyone else noticed #15 claims to be from the hotel itself in Greece and contradicts the story in a big way?? if that's the case that's a major blunder on behalf of ynet. But if the picture is true, I propose straight to the local jails and escort back to the plane! Zero tolerance for hooligans wherever they come from.
56. to cassi (42)
tiki ,   belgium   (07.20.10)
Cassi, I DO read newspapers (English aswel) and I DO read about the abominable drunken behaviour of Brits and others, but I NEVER read or heard, they were 'thrown out of hotels. Furthermore I don't put the 'blame on others, I just 'state facts. I don't condone their behaviour at all, for I hate drunks and rude people, no matter were they come from.
57. From daytone beach to Can Cun unruly spring breakers etc.
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (07.20.10)
There is nothing surprising or unusual about this incident. It happens everywhere. In fact here in the USA evry year on Spring Break it used to be Daytona Beach Florida nowadays Can Cun Mexico where college students flock and get unruly for a while. The Mediterranean shores in summer has many of these happening almost every day. In fact Turkish resorts in Antalya, Bodrum , Marmaris has also many of these incidents yearly coming from Russian, Moldavian young Tourist. However singling out this one incident to create a Jewish stereotype is pure racism.
58. Severe damage to Israeli image
Khalid ,   The Netherlanfds   (07.20.10)
Get real man, as if Isael image is not damaged already. I think zionists (like the writer of this article)should wake up from their egocentrist mentality and self-righteous arrogance and start checking for themselves how the world is viewing their country. Long gone are the days when zionists used to fool the world with terms like "The only democracy in the Middle East " and garbage like that. The world is already well aware of the aggressive, reckless, arrogant, disrespectful behaviour of the zionist state. Any remaining support that the zionist state is still enjoying is not due to conviction, it rather due to expediency where the zionist state markets its services as a capitalist front base in a strategically important oil reach region.
59. #43 Out of the closet at last, Marco
Cynthia ,   USA   (07.20.10)
Hezbollah is so popular that Nasrallah hides in a bunker as his paranoia expands faster than his waistline. If you blindly hate us, then it is you who has the problem. And your insecurity is reflected all over this site.
60. Something they will learn the hard way.
Fred ,   Boston, USA   (07.20.10)
Respect arrives on foot but departs on horseback. I wonder how fast these kids can run?
