1. BBC
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (09.23.12)
The BBC is starting to really piss me off why Regev would even stoop to commenting to the BBC is beyond me. The Hilltop Youth in my opinion not terrorist. The Peace Now organization are US and UK paid spies in my opinion
2. BBC!! SInce when do you use the term Terrorist??
Ilana   (09.23.12)
Haven't seen that term before. I have seen Activist, militant. etc... Hmmmmmmm!!!
3. They are just a bunch of criminals
Sarah B. ,   U.S.A./Israel   (09.23.12)
and as such should be punished and arrested.
4. The post at No. 3 is not mine.
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.23.12)
5. rabbis
ghj ,   Passaic, USA   (09.23.12)
From someone who has 3 children who have made aliya: The only way that this can be resolved is for the rabbis they respect to tell them that their actions are a major violation of halacha. If they won't, with no excuses, then they are the problem.
6. BBC exposes Hilltop youth
David Gitlin ,   Israel   (09.23.12)
Jack Teitel, the Purim bomber and friends exposed, and the Israeli governments refusal to arrest the criminals is also exposed.
7. Seriously BBC?
Dan ,   Tel-Aviv   (09.23.12)
The biggest story is a couple of kids spray painting buildings....
8. forget people who blow themselves up and fire rockets
(09.23.12)
nah, the real threat to stability is that graffiti on the walls.
9. Hilltop Youth, Hitler Youth....
Robert ,   Australia   (09.24.12)
....Netanyahu Youth.
10. The BBC
Fliss ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.24.12)
The BBC are well known for their biased reporting against Israel so who can take them seriously?
11. @2 For BBC, even the 7/7 London bombers are not terrorists
Mike ,   Oxford   (09.23.12)
Obviously blowing up innocent civilians in London/Madrid/NY/Israel is less serious than graffiti
12. BBC = Biased Broadcasting Company
Nili ,   Jerusalem   (09.24.12)
The bombings, stabbings and attacks on innocent civilians and children are not considered terror if it is against Jews. The world is sick ...
13.  #1 Don't fan fire while you enjoy secure life in diaspora!
Aaron ,   Jerusalem   (09.24.12)
14. Bbc is anti-Israel
Kurt ,   Usa   (09.24.12)
Bias reporting 100% of the time.....
15. BBC shows it's Bias & Prejudice very openly for all to see
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (09.24.12)
BBC does not even use term "terrorist: to the murderous Pal/arabs or any arab crimes. BBC uses the terms "activists", "militants" and not terrorists, but for Israeli Jews they used "terrorists" --- BBC are obvious hypocrates.
16. Disgusting - "peace now" allies with BBC against Bibi
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (09.24.12)
17. Brits tend to side with Arabs, so too BBC
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (09.24.12)
The British have a very distinguished and disturbing history of anti-Semitism mixed with anti-Israeli actions. This stems from having their own 'best' interests established firmly in their nation psyche. Reasoning that it is best to side with a billion Arabs than a few million Jews the question of right and wrong does not influence their decision making process. Where as most Western countries realize that 'right and wrong', morally and ethically, should be part of the decision making process, Britain does not have such sentiments.
18. Let's NOT forget that....
Riva ,   Betar ilti   (09.24.12)
all of these "kids" have been exposed to REAL terrorist actions! They have been particular targets for horrendous Arab terror! in which THESE REAL TERRORISTS have gotten away with murder of babies/children/adults, damaged property, distroyed lives....so is it ANY wonder these so called hilltop "terrorists" are just a wee bit angry! I think we should show some compassion for these KIDS! because i'm pretty sure that a lot of them are suffering trauma!!!!
19. The Israeli govt exposed...
Tom ,   Haifa, Israel   (09.24.12)
A very good program by the BBC and it clearly exposed the blind eye our government . Regev was not at all convincing, but then how could he be in covering for this stinking state tolerated terrorism.
20. The post at # 4 is not mine
Sarah B. ,   U S A / Israel   (09.24.12)
21. I completely agree
Aaron ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (09.24.12)
I completely agree with the BBC. If you were once a supporter of this 'Price-Tag' movement, that support should have gone out the window as soon as they tagged and burned an unrelated church. These kids "retaliate" against unspecified groups of people due to their racial or religious background in a way as to terrify the population, this is the very definition of racism which is only matched by the very thing that they despise the most. There is no excuse for a Jew to act this way, and the members of this movement as well as its supporters should be ashamed of themselves. In a civilized country, even someone who has murdered a child is not punished by having his child murdered. If you want to follow eye-for-an-eye punishment, go to Pakistan, because THAT is not the Jewish way.
22. # 4
Stan ,   Israel   (09.24.12)
So are you saying Sarah that you agree with what they do ?
23. To # 1
Stan ,   Israel   (09.24.12)
Joe A Likud minister in Bibi"s government also calls them terrorists !
24. Not a big issue.
keren, IL-BR ,   Tel Aviv   (09.24.12)
Did BBC also made a report about Arabs that shot Israelis on a daily basis? And about Arab terrorism? Has anyone ever hear of that? I am sorry, but to criticize two or three young boys that just want to have some fun is tantamount to antisemitism .These are la creme-de-la-creme of our society, brilliant youth that are pioneering the land and extending our borders. To criticize them for having some moments of fun is indeed very anti-patriotic.
25. Brave Like Rachel Corrie and Julian Assange
Marcohoe ,   San Francisco, USA   (09.24.12)
Going for the low-hanging fruit. Very brave, just like Rachel Corrie and Julian Assange. The bigot cowards at the BBC wouldn't dare to infiltrate a terrorist group that really kills people. Where are the ISM human shields in Syria? Why didn't Assange publish some secrets of really evil governments?
26. West Bank "terrorist incidents" listed by State Deptartment
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.24.12)
...for the first time this year. "According to the UN office for humanitarian affairs, the number of settler attacks causing casualties or damage to Palestinian property has increased by 144% between 2009 and 2011(pdf). Three Palestinians were killed and 183 injured by settlers last year; about 10,000 trees were damaged or destroyed; and more than 90% of complaints filed with Israeli police were closed without charges being brought."
27. Golden days of BBC
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (09.24.12)
were a decade ago. Every day a suicide bombing in Israel, 10, 20, 30 casualities. Breaking news in the BBC, Lise Doucet and the other bandits smiling to inform about how many israelis died that day. These golden days are over now, the BBC must find other options to defame Israel.
28. Saw the report, ONE concusion
tiki ,   belgium   (09.24.12)
IF all the ""terrorists" of the world would be as "dangerous" as these youngsters who, contrary to terrorists are not afraid to show their faces and who's only bullet is their paint, the world would be a very safe & peacefull place. BBC only made this report about "the danger within" because it's about ISRAELI youngsters feeling they have rights too. Otherwise it wouldn't be an issue. IF grafitty is sooo dangerous, they could make the same report about "the dangers within" the streets of London. The very visible hate graffity in Arab countries, palestinian territories & Gaza is (of course) not an issue for the always biased BBC.
29. Great Documentary by the BBC
Rubi ,   Jerusalem,Israel   (09.24.12)
It`s not often i`m truly impressed by a doco but this Panorama was amazing to watch and i believe balanced . No other media outlet even Israeli has ever had such access and dealt with this Price Tag issue before like this i have one word RESPECT!!!
30. terrorism in the name of God
observer ,   Egypt   (09.24.12)
that's the most appalling thing about price tag terrorism.
