31. But Arabs can build illegal settlements....Hypocrisy
Jay3 ,   Israel   (02.28.11)
32. Don't Blame Barak
Marcel ,   Florida   (02.28.11)
How narrow minded to blame Ehud the loser Barak for attacking fellow Jews on a regular basis with such brutality. It is his boss Netanyahu who is responsible for this evil. He does this to please the foreign gods (on the Potomac) he serves.
33. The settlement is illegal, nuff said.
Moshe Cryan   (02.28.11)
What part of illegal do these hoodlums and their supporters not understand? As has been stated many times in the past, throwing rocks can kill people and by throwing them at the IDF or police it justified the measured response by the authorities.
34. Irony: Pogroms happen only in Israel
Sergey ,   Brooklyn, USA   (02.28.11)
What a shame!
35. Iwas gonna say only in Israel..
Avigdor ,   Belgium   (02.28.11)
But i guess I'm wrong, since Israel has learnt from Khadaffi and others. Indeed unbelievable that soldiers go on the Marmara with paint ball guns to stop arabs and left wings and here they don't hesitate and have rubber bullets, nice to see who is more important. Israeli policy is gonna kill us all
36. Pathetic; I echo Svietka
Larry ,   TA   (02.28.11)
Brave Men in Black. What is this color for, what are the masks for? Why do forces descend to the Marmara as if expecting conversation and shoot Jews point-blank?
37. Destroing a tent? What a great military victory.
tanya ,   tel aviv israel   (02.28.11)
Don't worry guys, in a couple of days the tent will be back. It is unbelievable what our government is busy with.
38. #26 don't worry
(02.28.11)
The police brutes who are "only following orders" to attack innocent Jews will not be punished. They will cooperate with the next government to punish the real criminals, those who gave the orders.
39. heres a thought
courtney ,   usa   (02.28.11)
if you dont want little boys and 75 year old men to get hit with rubber bullets and tear gas, dont put them in harms way by building illegal settlements...
40. #4 are you serious?
courtney ,   usa   (02.28.11)
a crime is a crime, a criminal a criminal... matters not that they were jews
41.  there is daily rocket bombardments on Israel
chaim schonbrun ,   brooklyn ny   (02.28.11)
and what is this traitorous pathetic coward Barak busy with? destroying jewish tents,and beating up women and children. people of israel,have you gone mad? how long will you tolerate this? in any other normal country the people would revolt,you should march up by the millions to Jerusalem,and storm the Knesset,and drag out those leftist traitors and hang them from the nearest lamp post'
42. They didn't cut down "palestinian" trees, if any:Arab trees
tom ,   tel aviv   (02.28.11)
43. #4 Laurence, comparison is not an answer to simply breaking
A Bethlehemite   (02.28.11)
the law over and over again. You dont seem to care about the law, do you? And BTW, Barak has dimolished Bediun villages over and over again.
44. Politics as usual
Baruch ,   Marin County, CA   (02.28.11)
If you read between the lines of these moves by the army on the settlers, this is a warning shot to the growing number of Lieberman supporters out there: Don't get any ideas... If any of the settlers believe they are outside the realm of politics then forget about it. They have placed themselves at the forefront of Israeli politics, and as they should be aware it isn't always pleasant...
45. A really big show to impress Barry and Hillary.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (02.28.11)
A lot easier to just tell them politely to mind their own business. Nobody will accuse Bibi of being Golda or Shamir.
46. Settlerswood...
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (02.28.11)
47. to # 26
Ehud ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.28.11)
I note with satisfaction that the firing squad has been eliminated from your usual list of punishment forms.Presumably this points to some mellowing in your nature or could it be the begining of adulthood.
48. IDF tough fighting Jews - but weak in fighting terrorists !
Jaacov Baumann   (02.28.11)
What a shame for Israel ! What a disgrace ! But those responsible will pay a heavy price - sooner or later !
49. Where Is The Same Ruthlessness To The Iranian War Ships?
JOSH EBERT ,   Chicago, IL   (03.01.11)
To the defenseless settlers who build a home on land owned by them, Barak has the great courage of having the police fire on the settlers. Where is all that courage against a real enemy, Iran, who had sent war ships with war supplies in the Mediterranean in preparation of a war with Israel? Why weren't those boats sunk in a real sign of strength? What about letting the IDF win and retaking Gaza, and resettling Gaza, in response to the constant rocket fire? Bibi, man up do what you need to defend Israel and fire Barak!
50. 27 Ricardo
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (03.01.11)
It is a very complicated situation.For some people "settlements"is their life.Are those who are ready to give up the settlements ,also ready to deal their houses with settlers? On the other hand,keeping the settlements means war.Are we ready for this?Only G-D knows.
51. Well said #49 & #45
Camie ,   USA   (03.02.11)
"It's the Jewish settlements, stupid!" The new mantra of the U.N. and Obama. I can't believe Israel's own govt is falling for it! Go back and read resolution 242 Barak. There is nothing illegal about Jews living anywhere in Israel.
52. To #7Avi,#33Moshe,&#39Courtney,USA
Neshi ,   Yisrael   (03.02.11)
There is NO part of Eretz Yisrael that doesn't belong to Jews! We were given this land by Hashem and it will always be ours. To Avi & Moshe if you disagree you should leave Yisrael immediately! As for Courtney, you sound like a non-Jew living in Chutz l'aretz your opinion is ignorant at best and doesn't matter!
