1. Terrorism is a bit of a stretch
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.20.12)
This isn't exactly a terrorist attack. I would call it a nuisance protest if anything.
2. Place Motion Camera's For Proof Of
(09.20.12)
Perpetrators, Publish Pic's And Charge Them And Collect Damages For The Victims To Repair Auto's.
3. Have the security forces enter the closest
jason white ,   afula,israel   (09.20.12)
villages and destroy 50 autos and 20 trucks and tractors. The next time, they should destroy 200 autos and 100 trucks and tractors. Let the arab villages pay for the damage to Israeli autos.
4. Kahane was right
BH ,   Iowa   (09.20.12)
Every day he is proven right.
5. usual - no response?
martin ,   uk   (09.20.12)
Jews should be doing the same and place some fear into their evil hearts. But that takes initiative
6. Despicable
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (09.20.12)
This is despicable behaviour and is most certainly not an innocent prank. Serious injury and death can result from these actions. All acts of sabotage, undermining, marginalisation, dehumanising, violence and abuse must be condemned in the Holy Land. A more inclusive paradigm is called for.
7. Are those roads Jew only roads?
Donald   (09.20.12)
Just checking.
8. To Dave from Montreal.
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.20.12)
How about we meet at JavaU on Queen-Mary and I explain to you how this is terrorism. Try driving a car at night at 80km/h and hitting those rocks. What do you think will happen? Terrorism is not just exploding bombs, it is anything that will cause harm to someone else, and believe me throwing rocks or putting boulders on the road will do just that. Search for a father and his toddler boy who were killed in such an accident a few months ago!
9. I agree with the other talkbackers
Ethan Schwartz ,   Eilat   (09.20.12)
We must be more like our enemies. NOT
10. terrorism or nuisance
sf2oak ,   oakland usa   (09.20.12)
@Dave montreal, I'm glad you have determined activity a nuisance instead of terrorism. I suppose the definition depends on where you're sitting- if it's a road you use it would be terrorism but a road 1000's of miles away it's a nuisance.
11. We are the real criminals
Daniel Kummermann ,   Prague   (09.20.12)
All the settlements are against musar and democratic laws of Judaism. We cannot steal what is not ours.
12. Well if these settlers where....
Ken   (09.20.12)
...back in Israel this wouldn't be a problem.
13. #7 just checking
Amihai ,   Yesha   (09.20.12)
And how they get the rocks here you think ? Those roads are near the entrance of the settlements. The arabs haven't any reason to ride them...
14. # I am with you 100% after all WB is their land.
Other X   (09.20.12)
15. Donald: There Are Only "Non-Jew Only" Roads Here
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (09.20.12)
There are no Jew-only roads, but Jews ARE forbidden to drive on: Road #354 Road #3266 Road #3267 Road #3556 Road #3698 (part) Road #3517 Road #3527 Road #3676 Road #3586 Road #45 Road #436 Road #3 ((northern part) Road #450 Road #463 Road #466 Road #4566 Road #466 Road #449 (western part) Road #4568 Road #4775 Road #4777 Road #5077 Road #505 (middle part) Road #5066 Road #5076 Road #574 Road #5506 Road #5526 Road #5487 Road #5715 Road #5717 Road #5815 Road #60 (much of the middle, from Schechem to Jenin) Road #588 Road #6115 Road #6010 Road #6255 Road #6155 Road #66 (southern part) And of course, any road that goes through Arab-occupied areas are forbidden to us- by law; also de facto, because a Jew who is caught there- even making a wrong turn, stands a decent chance of being slaughtered.
16. rocks on roads
Lloyd Oestreicher ,   United States   (09.20.12)
and if it were your car?
17. resistance of occupation sponsored by international law
observer ,   Egypt   (09.20.12)
18. In that case..
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.20.12)
You are correct... but you should always drive cautiously (especially through these neighbourhoods) and watch out for obstacles. Those rocks could easily be animals, children or any other number of things. Driving blindly at 80Km is never a good idea.
19. Re: terrorism or nuisance
Dave ,   Montreal, Canada   (09.20.12)
I'm just uncomfortable putting these "attacks" into the same catagory as suicide bombings.
20. moving occupant population into occupied land in unlawful
observer ,   Egypt   (09.20.12)
21. @5 The settlers do respond
daz ,   uk   (09.20.12)
by setting fire to olive groves. If these acts are down to Palestinians it's only in response to Settler terrorism, if Israel doesn't like it they can stop occupying Palestine and go home to Israel Proper.
22. #11 - TELL ME DANIEL,
Reuven ,   Petach Tikvah   (09.20.12)
Why are you living in Prague? If you really understand the Musar movement, you yourself do not seem to be very enlightened. I ask again, what are you doing living in Prague? I haved to tell you that Israel is the home of the Jewish people. It may not be your home, but it is certainly mine. Are you one of the self-hating Jews who has a personal problem and can only see the solution by bad mouthing Israel and the Jewish people? Shana Tova v Chatima Tova.
23. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.21.12)
You might think differently if you were driving down one of those roads.
24. #23 "You might think differently"
Robert ,   Australia   (09.21.12)
Don't the cars in Israel have brakes?
25. #1 - Until a car loses control and kills someone?
William ,   Israel   (09.21.12)
I believe its pretty damn close to "terrorism" - it targets civilians, it aims to cause damage, and has the possibility to kill. The mal-intent is there, and its directed towards another ethnic group.
26. #7 - they weren't before crap like this started
William ,   Israel   (09.21.12)
All roads were free for use until Arabs began drive by shootings that took the lives of several Israelis, some of them Israeli Arabs. Unfortunately, the need for segregated roads became a necessity for simple safety.
27. #11 - thank you for validating the settlements
William ,   Israel   (09.21.12)
You have it completely right. We cannot steal what is not ours, but we can re-claim that which was stolen from us. 1949 was an ugly year for Arab war crimes, but justice is slowly being achieved.
28. #1 a nuisance like throwing a bottlle at a taxi
Alan   (09.21.12)
Just kids having fun for you?
29. Yet another reason to extend full sovereignty over the WB
Jake ,   USA   (09.21.12)
30. Ruven
(09.21.12)
Well said Ruven
