1. Carpet bombing them will stop them in their tracks!
(05.14.11)
2. Mr. Obama, this is your 'Arab Spring' in full bloom.
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.14.11)
Isn't it nice to see all the 'moderate' Arab states come together in this hate-fest? These poor Arab idiots can only blame Israel for all their miseries when, in fact, it is their own pathetic (and criminal) leadership that has held them down these many years. What can you expect from a people whose hero for the last decade was found out to be a porno-junkie and goat-humping pervert? Nakba? I'd say so- for Israel! It was the day Israelis decided to live in the midst of uneducated, unclean, uncouth, ungulate-adoring perverts and killers. As proof of their stupidity, notice that they protest against Israel when their fellow Muslim leaders in Syria, Yemen, Libya, murder their own subjects! Yes, it most certainly is a Nakba for Israel. To be surrounded by such morons in the 21st century is just too much to have to take.
3. Great activities for Arab dictatorships
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.14.11)
And even for those quasi-democratic places like Lebanon. Oh right, Lebanon is "democratic" except for the "Palestinians" who are denied citizenship and rights.
4. Psychologically, culturally and practically.......
Jerry ,   The Netherlands   (05.14.11)
ONLY a BIG Jewish State of Israel can bring genuine equilibrium and freedom to the ME. It will in time lead to peace, prosperity and positive neighbourly relations with our future Arab and Muslim (not Islamist/Jihadist) friends. The ME will come to bloom, once true balance and quiet can serve as a foundation for goodness. (Vowel letters in Hebrew, Arabic and Farsi would facilitate practical, modern communication and empower the region.)
5. Their mourning will be that they don't know G-d.
Annmarie ,   USA   (05.14.11)
6. we have a right to return to our homes!!!!
abdalla   (05.14.11)
7. "with officers trained in riot-prevention"
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (05.14.11)
Are those the guys that fire live ammunition into crowds of protesters? They must have gone through the same riot-prevention training as the Syrian and Lybian soldiers have gone through.
8. Lebanon letting them out of the refugee camps??
rebecca ,   Modiin   (05.14.11)
It's like taking them on a picnic.
9. Reject nationalism
Daniel ,   UK   (05.14.11)
10. What about the Jewish Nakba? Expulsion of 1M Jews in ME
Tomer ,   Herzeliyya   (05.14.11)
The arabushim never mention it, do they? We must work harder to remind them and the World.
11. NAKABA
LT COL HOWARD ,   USA   (05.14.11)
, Nakba (catastrophe) Arabs mourn is 1948 failure by combined armies of Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon and Iraq,( augmented by local Arabs, many veterans of the SS division of 20,000 Arabs organized by mufti of Jerusalem who fought for Hitler in Europe and hunted down and brutally murdered Jews) to achieve their announced goal of crushing newborn state of Israel, pushing every Jew into the sea and having the streets flow deep with Jewish blood. (“This will be a war of extermination and a momentous massacre which will be spoken of like the Mongolian massacres and the Crusades”-Azzam Pasha, Secretary-General of the Arab League.) Where invading Arabs succeeded ( British trained,equipped,& led Jordanian army occupied East Jerusalem and West Bank) all Jews were murdered or expelled. Arabs were settled in the homes formerly owned by Jews.
12. Peace with Honour
Luiz Felipe Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (05.14.11)
About "Nakba Day"s news, and as a true friend of Israel, I think that something must be quickly done, in order to prevent a new awful war, without dangerous concessions. Israelian government has to tell Arab Palestinians: 1)We recognize your State, but our borders with her can't be the 1967's ones. They must be carefully redrawed. 2) Jerusalem is our eternal capital, but some smaller parts from her can be ceded to your sovereignty. 3) Your State oughts to be demilitarized forever, having only Police forces. 4) You must renounce to any "right of return". 5) Arab people, that wants to reside into our territory, must only obey our laws. If they want to be Israelian citizens, they will have to swear fidelity. 6) Prisoners, from the both sides, will be changed. At first, Gizad Shalit. 7) Anti-Jewish propaganda and Anti Islamic acts will be soon ended. 8) Our settlements into your territory, since the new frontiers are established, will cease to exist. 9) The Arab League must, also, sign the agreement. UNO's General Secretary, too.10) Terrorism and violent acts, since today, will stop. 11) On the contrary, no more dialogues, with the logical consequences.
13. jihad
cristian ,   buenos aires arg   (05.14.11)
jihad an islamic term is a religious duty of muslims,in arabic the word jihad translates as a noun meaning struggle,jihad appears 41 times in the koran and frequently in the idiomatic expression "striving in the way of god(al jihad fi sabil allah)" a person engaged in jihad is called a mujahid,the plural is mujahideen,jihad is an important religious duty for muslims,muslims use the word in a religious context to refer to three types of struggles an internal struggle to maintain faith,the struggle to imrpove the muslim society or the struggle to defend islam,yahya ibn sharaf al-nawawi stated that "one of the collective duties of the community as a whole (fard kifaya) is to lodge a valid protest to solve problems of religion to have knowledge of divine law to command what is right and forbid wrong conduct" in western societies the term jihad is often translated as "holy war",the begginings of jihad are traced back to the words and actions of muhammad and the koran,this encourages the use of jihad against non-muslims,the koran however never uses the term jihad for fighting and combat in the name of allah,qital is used to mean fighting,the struggle for jihad in the koran was originally intended for the nearby neighbors of the muslims but as time passed and more enemies arose,the koranic statements supporting jihad were updated for the new adversaries,in modern standar arabic jihad is one of the correct terms for a struggle for any cause,violent or not,religious or secular,for instance mahatma gandhi struggle for indian independence is called a jihad in modern standard arabic the terminology is also applied to the fight for workers´liberation,the term jihad has accrued both violent and non-violent meanings,it can simply mean striving to live a moral and virtuous life,spreading and defending islam as well as fighting injustice and oppression among other things,sacrificing one´s life for the sake of islam just cause,fighting against the opponenents,a commitment to hard work and achieving one´s goal in life,struggling to achieve a noble cause,promoting peace,harmony or cooperation and assisting others,living the principles of islam.the prophet returned from one of his battles and thereupon told us you have arrived with an excellent arrival,you have come from the lesser jihad to the greater jihad,the striving of a servant against his desires(holy war)",the best jihad is the word justice in front of the oppressive sultan(ruler) and what is jihad? you fight against the disbelievers when you meet them on the battlefield what kind of jihad is the highest? the person who is killed whilst spilling the last of his blood,the goal of true jihad is to attain a harmony between islam(submission),iman/faith) and ihsan(righteous living)
14. Its time for Israel to demand compensation for the 1 million
(05.14.11)
jewish refugees kicked out of Arab countries
15. whether Egyptian troops will allow this
observer ,   Egypt   (05.14.11)
No!, Egyptian troops scarcely make their way into Sinai.
16. Only themselves and arab "brothers" to blame for the 'nakba'
Seth ,   Boston   (05.14.11)
what about the real Nakba in which Jews were thrown out of arab countries with nothing more than the clothes on their backs? They deserve compensation. No matter how many times the arab narrative gets told about their precious "nakba," it's still a big fat lie!!!!!!!
17. Refugee camps?
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (05.14.11)
Yes. after 60+ years. There is no place for these guys in the countries of their co-religionaries, in the Arab countries ... just refugee camps. Appalling.
18. 6
birdi ,   israel   (05.14.11)
yes you do=in jordan.
19. Yes return Home...>>>Jordan, Egypt
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (05.14.11)
20. Happy Mourning
Jerome ,   NZ   (05.15.11)
You gor your chance to have a states and you missed it several times. Happy continuous mourning!
21. ROR is a human right
Nour ,   One State   (05.15.11)
To Palestine we will return.
22. #7
Jane   (05.15.11)
Doug, you are an ass. If you think we will let them over-run us and acquiesce in our own suicide, think again lefty boy.
23. #10
Jane   (05.15.11)
Amen, Tomer. We should have done it every day since 1948. Every time the Jewish population was cleansed from another Arab country, we should have screamed our heads off.
24. Naw, Doug. We took lessons from you Americans
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (05.14.11)
Why are you in Rochester, Doug? Because you occupation settlers illegally invaded a continent that was not yours. Doug, you Americans committed genocide and ethnic cleansing on a scale that was unprecedented and probably not exceeded until Hitler came along. You wiped out several native American nations (yes, using live fire against unarmed civilians), and whoever survived you used apartheid to put them on "reservations". So what are you trying to tell us, Doug? We Israelis are not anything close to the racist, criminal, disgusting behavior that led to modern day Rochester, where you Americans live on occupied stolen land. What's your point? Are we not living up to you American standard? Should we use the "Doug" method and have our own "Indian War" here in the holy land?
25. Unfortunately Israel's 63 year War of Independence continues
Cynic ,   USA   (05.14.11)
26. MOSES WAS THE FIRST ZIONIST.
BUTSeriously ,   Sydney Australia   (05.15.11)
But Muslims tell their people Moses was a Muslim and the Jewish temple is a Zionist myth. Then they scream allah akbar in F Minor.
27. Brian Cohen #24, Love you brother
Jerome ,   NZ   (05.15.11)
You are absolutely right. Well put! Yeshar Koach
28. endemic Arab hate will doom any genuine reform anywhere
Eric L ,   Chicago, USA   (05.15.11)
It is tragic how much racism and hate appear part of the modern Arab culture....That hate dooms any chance of any genuine freedom or liberty anywhere in the Middle East (except those lucky Arabs who are Israeli citizens.....and yet they still spit in Israel's face...ungrateful...ironic that over 60% of Arab Israeli's say they would move within Israel proper before giving up Israeli citizenship for some inevitable PA tyranny)
29. If it were an ethnic cleansing my dear Tibi
William ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
you and your ilk wouldn't be in Israel currently. Remember that!
30. #6 - ok, where's the land deed?
William ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
and while you're at it, can you explain why you chose a genocidal war against under-armed, under-trained Jews, and refused to end aggression against them in return for the option to return to Israel in 1949? Seems like you forfeited your home when you chose war against Jews in lieu of returning to the home you claim you want.
