1.  Ynet wrong Zion Square lfracas not ynch
Nornus ,   Jerusalem   (08.28.12)
Lynch mobs were the Klu Klux Clan after a Black rapist, Midwest farmers after a runaway murderer, Arab gang lynching 2 reservists in Ramallah not a youth mob confrontation which turned ugly.
2. 9 suspects indicted in Jerusalem lynch case
LRS ,   Israel   (08.28.12)
Your writers should look up the definition of "lynch" before using it in an article. Check it in any on-line dictionary of Wki site - i.e. (Law) (tr) (of a mob) to punish (a person) for some supposed offence by hanging without a trial [probably after Charles Lynch (1736-96), Virginia justice of the peace, who presided over extralegal trials of Tories during the American War of Independence]
3. Not quite
Amichai ,   Huntsville, US   (08.28.12)
I live in the Southern US and can tell you this isn't a "lynch" scenario. Still, I think the attackers should be charged with attempted murder. This type of behavior against other peaceful citizens, regardless of their ethnicity, should not be tolerated.
4. Religious fundementalism kills
Haim ,   TA   (08.28.12)
nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism remains the primary source of bigotry, hatred and racism in the modern era
5. Haaretz or Ynet.
Quebec observer ,   Montreal,Canada   (08.28.12)
Ynet writing articles as Haaretz does. In that way you are losing your country. What's the point, indictments and indictments for "lynching". Come on, don't be so stupid.
6. to 1 and 2
peter ,   jerusalem israel   (08.28.12)
Really? is that what is important to you? the ignorant teens wanted to kill somebody, their parents should be investigated.
7. # 1 & 2 Not a lynching. Attempted Murder but as everyone kn
USA   (08.28.12)
knows: if found guilty they will only serve a fraction of the sentence. Justice is very, very fluid, religion based.
8. Lynch
Zvi ,   Bat Yam   (08.28.12)
To 1 and 2 A Lynch is what it is Those low level human beigns do not have any notion of Jewish moral values. If the President and the Premier Minister codamned that act you really have a twisted notion of justice values
9. It's fine, now we wait for the other side
Yossef   (08.28.12)
to act accordingly in similar situations. First of all, remove the name of terrorists of your streets and places.
10. To 1 & 2
Chaim ,   Israel   (08.28.12)
The issue here is not semantics. No matter what you call it the intention was to kill, and it almost succeeded. The same low level Riffraff that at 13 throw Molotov cocktails at a car...
11. it was a SIMPLE BRAWL between teens and now it is politic
(08.28.12)
12. the State of Israel is BAD for JEWS
(08.28.12)
13. racist ? So an arab can insult a Jew ?
(08.28.12)
14. This gov hates strong jews. They like them as victims !
(08.28.12)
15. The State destroy the life of these youths to please Arabs
Frederic   (08.28.12)
Shame
16. strange what upsets Ynet readers.. lynch or mob
Liron ,   Zichron   (08.28.12)
Does it really matter if it was a lynching or a mob attack. The motivation, as presented by Ynet, are hate based and not in line with Jewish teaching or Zionist thought. Instead of worrying as to whether or not it was a lynch, let's worry about our youth.
17. An issue of who
Observador ,   Olesh, Israel   (08.28.12)
When a Jewish boy do something agains and arab boy its called racist. How do we call the murder of aman by some arabs boys in Ramle 5 months ago, they are out at hose arrest, why?
18. NO INDICTMEMNTS AGAINST ARABS FOR EVERY CRIME IN BOOK 64yrs
...DACON9   (08.28.12)
19. IMO
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.28.12)
1. According to the article this had been going on for some time. Other Arabs were chased and frightened before this victim was attacked. WHERE were the police ?!? 2. These criminals should be tried and the guilty ones punished to the full extent of the law. I much fear that they will be 'excused' as Jews, as 'teens' and as 'first offenders' 3. Last and least: Language grows and changes. In Israel the word lynch means to attack for racial reasons with intent to harm seriously or to kill.
20. #15, No Frederic, to please Justice...
Yossef   (08.28.12)
21. Where were the police?
SD Charger ,   San Diego   (08.28.12)
How could they "march" from street to street without the police noticing a group of teenagers? We know what teenage boys are capable of when it comes to peer pressure from an admired teenage girl. They went too far with the violence though.
22. Not a lynching but racist acts
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (09.12.12)
Jewish teens today grew up during the wave of Islamic terrorism in the 2000's and have been shaped by the violence they witnessed. This must be addressed and our youth must be taught not to hate.
