1. threats make Lapid into a martyr & Bibi fans into vilians
zionist forever   (01.10.12)
Lapid is bad news and its crazy so many people have rallied around him before he has even released any serious policies, just because he is Yair Lapid. This though is not the way to fight him if anything its counter productive because Lapid will use it to say look this is the sort of person that votes for Netanyahu. If the idiot who wrote that piece reads this then think up an intelligent reasons why people should not vote for him and put it on your Facebook to tell your friends.
2. Isrealis!
abdullah ,   Jordan   (01.11.12)
the difference between you and us. Israelis take it personally you can feel the hate in the violent rhetric. slandering him and his dad. CMON?!? palestinians just hate what you do and injustice you spread. and only aim to defeat and end it.
3. So Lapid attracts psychos, what's new!
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (01.11.12)
4. Wow,
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.11.12)
Already? so soon? shame!
5. Israelis!
Rochel ,   Los Angeles USA   (01.11.12)
The difference between you and us is ISRAEL! Stay in Jordan.
6. # 2 Jordan is huge...
Jules   (01.11.12)
... but you still keep your "palestinians" in concentration camps. Shame on you !
7. unless the Left did it
joe sombrero ,   usa   (01.11.12)
Unless someone fabricated it to build him up and make Bibi and the Right look bad.
8. Is a fake and fony.
Lapid ,   Toronto   (01.11.12)
9. This is not the way
alexi   (01.11.12)
whoever is making threats because they don't like someone's politics, threats are not the way. You should stop this rubbish right now-you hear! Threats can lead to violence as the moslem brotherhood well knows as they deliberately whip up their audiences. You can protest lapid all you want. Apologize for these threats as they can end up harmiing you!
10. Just the right wing experssing an opinion
Haim ,   TA   (01.11.12)
Unfortuently violence is the language they use. Anyone who dosent agree with their fanatical views is a threat to them.
11. Likud Kadima Labor
zivron   (01.11.12)
What Israel ought to benefit from is a Coalition to magnify security and diminish osraels poverty.
12. Murder inc is still alive and kicking
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (01.11.12)
Based on his experience The shaven binladen will be freed from jail to do a little job,remember, the shaven binladen provided the premiership to the present prime minister,so when duty calls,he will be there,to make sure that everything stays the same.
13. # 2 Palestinians just hate injustice
J.K. ,   Brooklyn USA   (01.11.12)
abdulla in your country,Jordan,young girls who were raped by uncles,intruders,are kept in jail,to protect them from the "justice" of their father,brothers,and when the father or brother manages to kill the poor girl,the killer will be greatly honored by his neighbors and friends,for saving the family honor,and when the Muslim brotherhood takes over Jordan ,she will not even get protection in jail,the government will hand her over to her family to be killed,honor is very important to people who have no honor.
14. Israel needs to declare it has only one law, the Civil Law.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.11.12)
Yair Lapid deserves to be protected, like every law obiding citizen of Israel. Only one law needs to apply, the Civil Law of the State. No halacha, no poskim, no batih. No rabbis or individuals to challenge governmental actions, but freedom of speech is fine. A clear and unequivocal Constitution needs to be put out by the Knesset and citizens need to swear allegiance to the State and its constitution, like in America. Hurry up, Knesset. You have erected a wall by the borders after waiting too long and seeing many deaths. Don't procrastinate again. It is time to erect Law obedience borders within the State, applying such laws BEFORE the courts are needed to intervene. Make it strict: those who will decline to swear obedience to the Civil Law will be refused an entry to Israel.
15. Real? Made-up?
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (01.11.12)
Personally I do not believe for a second that this was written by someone who is anti-Lapid. I think it is a clever ( or not so clever) attempt to create a backlash that will get him more seats. We have seen before and we will see again the left wing creating incidents that never happened. Look at the Rabin killing. We know who REALLY did the incitement but we choose to forget.
16. Astroturf much?
Dan the Jafa ,   Auckland, NZ   (01.11.12)
Ever since Rabin's demise, every left-winger has received death threats. It earns cheap points and no one dares to question their authenticity and credibility anyway.
17. Left is using agent provoceteur
moriah ,   sacramento usa   (01.11.12)
They're like the Muslims who burn down their own mosques to bring incitement against the Jews.....Nice try...
18. Sorry Abdullah #2, the hatred of Islamists
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (01.11.12)
is beyond accounting for and its effects do injury not only to Jews but to Christians and Muslims not only in the Mideast but in western countries as well. There is nothing quite like it. It all springs from a perverted sense of religion (Islam) and jealousy due to seven centuries of backwardness and lack of achievement. I just wanted to be sure to correct your ridiculous assertion.
19. Yair Lapid is exactly what Israel does
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (01.11.12)
not need. His occasional articles in Ynet are trivial.
20. ... It's a facebook post by some nobody. This is worthy of
Henry from New York ,   USA   (01.11.12)
attention? I read at least two death threats at various people a day on this news site. The Italian teacher was something else, but this is just silly.
21. Shocked! Shocked I tell you!
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.11.12)
Only one death threat, on his Facebook page? That's so lame. He can do better than that.
22. I couldn't agree more!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.11.12)
Bravo to the Facebook poster for just saying what all us Israelis are thinking.
23. This sick, anti human fanatic requires
Israeli 2   (01.11.12)
an immediate trip to the psychiatric ward or get arrested immediately. Dump him with Amir. I agree with everything he said about Lapid, but the Lapids have the right to live in Israel free of abuse and threats. We all know that Liberalism is a mental disorder, but fanatics like him are far worst and a danger to all of Israel. He is simply a stupid, disgusting nutwinger.
24. I think it is Bibi that attracts the Crazies
Ben ,   Cincinnati USA   (01.11.12)
How can you blame Lapid for someone threatening his life. If someone threatened Bibi's life you wouldn't suggest that Bibi's followers are to blame, would you?
25. So what exactly is there in terms of "news" here?!
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.11.12)
Someone once wrote "Here lives a Jew" on our house-wall, nuuu, so....?? Already Lapid turns into a Tzaddik?! Maybe ( just like Obama), he should be nominated for the Israel Prize? -(not thea Obama was, you know what I mean:-) In the meantime he has to earn his prefix: "Tza..." ...the rest he already is...
26. I agree with nr 1
Alexander ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.11.12)
Don't make Lapid into a martyr, because then people supporting Likud and Netanyahu will be collectively portrayed (falsely of course) as "extremists" and "fanatics". I have nothing against using such language and rhetorics against Iran, Syria, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Russia, North Korea, the "Palestinians", PLO, Fatah, Hamas and Hizbollah, but this should be unacceptable inside Israel. Let's settle politics and political differences among the Zionist Israeli/Jewish parties in a civilized and cultured fashion shall we?
27. Death threats
Shlomo ,   USA   (01.11.12)
Seems like there are "Jews" in al-Qaeda. A "Jew " who threatens another Jew with death is not a Jew and deserves a long jail sentence in the harshest prison in the country. Better yet, parachute him into Gaza and save the shekels.
28. Abdullah...
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (01.11.12)
Hahahahaha....you are funny! Yes, Arabs just kill each other when they hate...but one Jew writes a message on a Facebook page and it is worse to you....is that the best you can do :)
29. Abdullah...the Difference is:
(01.11.12)
The difference is this person has only written this on Facebook , whereas this type of behavior is actually carried out as the norm in pal community that institutionalizes hatred with textbooks, and official events that glorify terror.
30. Journalist before politician: master of publicity. Cheap!
