1. what an embarassment
Daniel ,   doesn't matter   (09.09.12)
what an embarassment to israel and it's citizens. how can us jews treat arabs this way? we ought to be more warm. especially to those who live within the same state as we do. we are all equal.
2. Israel has become a rascist and intollerent society
Haim ,   TA   (09.09.12)
Nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism remains the primary source of bigotry, hatred and racism in the modern era.
3. @2 3 racist act don't define Israel & not hapening in vacuum
tf ,   herzliya il   (09.09.12)
4. This Scheiße has to stop NOW!
HaifaGuy   (09.09.12)
Jews or Arabs - I don't care. Drunk violent up-to-no-good teenage punks belong in jail is where they belong. End of story. I see one of them and happen to have a baseball bat @my disposal - off goes the nose!! Jerusalem's always been a sewer whenever it came to interracial relations.
5. As a jew and zionist, I condemn this attack.
Airdrone pilot ,   World   (09.09.12)
Israeli arabs are citizens of Israel, and it is a criminal act as well as a racist act to attack a fellow citizen. The perpetrators of this attack has to be strongly prosecuted and condemned by israeli courts, where there are arab judges, as well as jewish judges, due to the fact Israel is a true democracy. I pray for peace and love among israeli citizens, including both jewish and arab citizens, and to the hell against racists. G´d bless Israel and her citizens.
6. Overreaction
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (09.09.12)
Jews are attacked and murdered everyday around the world and nobody says anything. I really don't see nothin wrong in an incident here or there in Israel. I think people that overreact on these incidents are anti-Semites because they are denying Jews to do the same as they do to us everyday.
7. And also
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusulam, Israel   (09.09.12)
Haim, #2 noted that Nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism is a primary source of bigotry. He is right. One must also add the political hierarchy that supports them and the far right. The remarks made by many of our political leaders are pure incitement to violence.
8. Get a good Psychiatrist
Fair deal ,   Cape   (09.09.12)
Sarah , something is really wrong with you , what Jews are being killed daiy around the world ? Its shocking these right wingers, they even forgot that they are humans . And please dont put US/Israel unders your name , Americans have nothing to do with your hate crimes
9. # 2 and 7 I couldn't agree more
roger ,   zurich switzerland   (09.09.12)
I couldn't agree more. This is not about alcohol. It's religious and nationalist indoctrination from the leaders, from the parents, from the education system, from the media. A constant stream of input demonising and dehumanising the Arabs. Add the obsessive sense of victimhood inculcated into Israelis using the Holocaust and Biblical 'history' to reinforce it. These maniacs see the Arabs as another manifestation of Amalek. They are psychotic.
10. #2 Haim, I agree...
Yossef   (09.09.12)
"Nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism" is poison.
11. #2 and #1
David ,   Haifa Israel   (09.09.12)
and how do you feel about the grad rockets hittiing buildings today? you support that right?
12. To no 9 I dont condone this acts but let's
(09.09.12)
not generalize. On the other hand what do you think the arans teach their children? This is a efect-cause problem. When arabs insinuate that Jews dont have links to Jerusalem or the Holy Land, these type of reactions can happen. This morning I red about the Grad Rockets in Netivot, do you think people love this? are they going to love arabs better? When Yom Atzmauth comes arabs want to turn our Holiday in awe and they made up Nakbah Day this wasn't celebrateduntil 1982. It passed allmost 30 years since Inependance Day and they decided to add a new chapter to their narrative? Besides the arabs that stayed are Israeli and are giving the same rights, why do they have to celebrate a tragedy? What happen at the Gas Station has been cooking for many years. I allways hear "we are different" Well, there is a limit. The same as there is Arab nationalism, there is also Jewish nationalism. For many Yeras before the Independence most of the Jewish leaders promoted good relationship with the arabs, even a binational state-They were the ones who started the hating-They were the ones who masachred Jews in Hebron when thetre wer no settlements. So dont hit yourself so hard in your chest.
13. #11 And tell me what the young Arab serving at the station
Yossef   (09.09.12)
has to do with the rocket launched from Gaza ??? That is pure racism, and plain stupidity and certainly at the opposite of what teach judaism about Justice. Buy you a brain.
14. To No. 11
Bertram ,   London, UK   (09.09.12)
This is a foolish question, reflecting an immature approach to serious issues. To illustrate this, allow me to turn the question round. Let us say a relative of yours commits a dreadful crime against an individual. Would that justify a relative of that individual committing an assault against you?
15. 2 Hatred has nothing to do with...
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (09.09.12)
nor nationalism nor religion. Hatred is a contagious disease of souls deprived of love.
16. where were BEN-ARI at the time of this VIOLENT act ? Police
Sarah B ,   U.S.A/Israel   (09.09.12)
can find HELP in talking 2 him ?
17. not a hate crime just drunks
zionist forever   (09.09.12)
Looks to me like we had some drunken Jewish drivers beat up a gas station attendant. Israeli's don't like arabs for good reason and these guys were just drunk and they used they cause him a stinky arab. if he was black they would call him black, haredi they would say he is haredi or just a regular Secular Jew they would find something to insult him with. Last time an arab was lynched the people who did it were not drunk it was a conscious decission this was just a bunch of drunks.
18. The post at No. 6 is not mine.

harry ,   Beer Sheva   (09.09.12)
Sarah i invite you to stay in Israel run at 2:00am from rockets and then speack your mind and not sleaping well at night and then beeing the specialist in overreacting!!!!
22. As an Israeli I don't belive him
NATAN ,   ISRAEL   (09.09.12)
We all know all the lies they say, they always are victims of the Israeli jews so it's a shame the video of the security cam's is not avalible. But the two grads feel on Beer Sheva what, they doesn't meater?
23. I would like to see the camera footage,from the fuel station
Erika ,   Israel   (09.09.12)
and than ill make an opinion...till than nothing is sure!!!!!!!
24. It's our right to hate Arab's wy not
NATAN ,   ISRAEL   (09.09.12)
They hate us they kill us and our familis. They hate us more than we hate them so be realistic, we hate them wy not?.
25. Wrong and sad
rachel   (09.09.12)
But I honestly believe this is the end result of some Israeli youth growing up hearing Arab hate and racism against Jews,and being constantly subjected to Arab violence against Jews almost everyday,and of hearing about and seeing terror attacks. For instance,just today a security guard in Samaria was deliberately run over and killed by an Arab driver who fled the scene. Israelis are human, and there are going to be some unstable people that will react in rage and do bad things themselves because of these terrible things. Thankfully though these kind of unfortunate incidents are rare and are denounced by almost all of Israeli society.
26. to Davidfrom Haifa # 11
David ,   Herzlia,Israel   (09.09.12)
what is the connection?, you are only looking for excuses, just like all racists !!!!
27. to # 24 , Natan
David ,   Herzlia,Israel   (09.09.12)
You are another moron, just like David from Haifa. Nobody is asking you to love the Arabs or Jews,, you are only looking for excuses , just like the nazis when they said that the Jews in germany stole all the money ...........
28. employees of a nearby Pizza place
ghostq   (09.09.12)

29. Shame
Thomas ,   Poland   (09.09.12)

30. You are a fool
