1. A special unit of the Mishtarah
Gideon Reader ,   USA   (09.07.11)
has been formed in order to recover and redistribute the inadvertently misplaced ot inteltionally relocated "ists" and "isms" to the "Social" Protestors". The missing suffixes will allow the detained individuals to properly find their way among the other marching kvetches. How liberating it will be to once again be a Socia-list, expressing the desire, the demand and possibly the need for Social-ism. And besides it will stop the charges that the police destroyed or stole the "ists" and "isms" of these latter day Saints of Saint Marx. Morons.
2. Are the leaders of this "social justice" movement inciting
Mike ,   TA   (09.07.11)
Are the leaders of this "social justice" movement now inciting against the police? Bad move.
3. I think police is very right.
Keren ,   IL-BR   (09.07.11)
One day in tents in a public place,ok;two days in tents in a public place,ok;three days in.....,now it is enough! I think it is very beautiful Jews to gather and ask for what they believe are better conditions of life,but this is not a gathering of just Jews anymore,it is an ugly balagan and so it must be curbed. Enough is enough.
4. Protestors losing support with these actions
mika ,   Israel   (09.07.11)
Enough. Enough with the tents, they made the point already. Definitely enough with this sort of violent, disrespectful activity. The average Israeli who came to march on the big rallies will stay away and distance from such acts and the movement itself. What we see here at this 'protest' is a small group drunk on protests and looking for excuse to make trouble.
5. To protesters
Upstanding Tel Avivi ,   Tel Aviv   (09.07.11)
Tell me whose gonna pay for all the damage caused on Rothschild Boulevard and Kikar Habima? The graffitti sprayed on trees and art exhibits? You should be ashamed of yourselves. Good cause, lousey expression. Leeches.
6. We have to apply the courts here over such issues.
Ypip ,   Canada   (09.08.11)
and usually attain results based upon the application. It requires a good business plan but tends to work with time without thugs from outside of town usually, crowding our space.
7. social justice in a civilization
Jonah ,   Amsterdam   (09.08.11)
You can demonstrate, after that , leave it to your politicians. they can't do it for you? than you use your power in the elections. In Europe we call Israƫl (still) the only democratie in the Middel-East ;)
8. Just like their spiritual brothers Palis, they must be
tom ,   tel aviv   (09.08.11)
delighted at such outcome: after all sice the first days of Tahrir sq. "revolt" local Left Wing Lunatics have been salivating for the same happening here. I cannot sufficiently express my utter disdain and dissapointment at the fact, that it's so easy to whip up mass-hysteria and blind stupidity even within educated, smart population like the one we have in Israel. In that department we're no different from the Germans (in the 30's), the French ('68), the Chinese and Arabs. Long Live Equality!!!
9. Track the source of all this
Robert ,   NY USA   (09.08.11)
Maybe the Dimona Radar Facility can help out?
10. Daphne Leef + moral equivalence.
Ron M. ,   South Tel Aviv   (09.08.11)
I found this statement of hers that 'violence was also carried out by police' who were forced to this by violent protesters repugnant. It's the same moral equivalence used by the radical left and Muslim terrorists, when they blame us for responding to their atrocities. There's an initial always unjustified action, which causes / forces a reaction, these things are not one and the same. Moral equivalence is the greatest failure of the left. I'm a tax payer, I've had enough. Get these people out, get rid of these tents. I don't pay taxes to see tents on public property. It's enough - I have rights too. No more support from me I don't care how noble the media paints this out to be. It's all smoke and mirrors.
11. Anarchists and Thugs
Daromi ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (09.08.11)
These people are not protesters in the exact sense, they are Marxist thugs, cut from the same ilk that are trying to take down the USA from within. Don't be ignorant, readers, these anarchists are being funded by anarchist sources in the USA who wish Israel to crumble, as well. These "activists" are very dangerous to have around right now, (and this is exactly why they picked this point in time) especially when we have immediate external threats to take care of. You didn't see these "activists" make as much noise when the Fogel Family (May they rest in peace) were slaughtered in their beds, or because of the other horrendous acts perpetrated against innocent Israelis. No, you didn't and you won't because these narcissistic and selfish troublemakers only care more about themselves and what they can have given to them a a silver platter and want to have it now, now, now. They are disgusting, and with this shigayon they are doing absolutely NOTHING positive for Israel and to protect Israel. Slugs all of them.
12. Enough already.
Philip . ,   Afula, Israel   (09.08.11)
When do these "young " people work ?
13. Dafni Leef is drunk with power.
noa ,   israel   (09.08.11)
14. 50 radicals
dc bateman ,   texas, usa   (09.11.11)
freaking bolsheviks. how dare these thugs try to overthrow the city or national government? the legit complaints are lost to the rantings of these fanatics.
