1. THIS Is Apartheid
Yishai kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (03.11.13)
Apartheid = "apart" + "hood". This is, and has been the Arabs' policy; a Jew-free land. We will not tolerate that here- not in OUR land, and all the more so, not in OUR capital.
2. These are obviously not racist attacks
Only Jews are racist   (03.11.13)
I didn't see the word 'racist' even once.
3. Jewish: Ribi Yehoshua healed in pool;Teimani K'phar Shiloakh
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (03.11.13)
NOT Arab! NOT Silwan! It was Jewish in the 1st century, during the life of Ribi Yehoshua, then, as the 1886 photo in our website proves (Go to our History Museum pages and select Teimanim in the menu at the top), remained vacant from the time the Jews were expelled until resettled by Yemenite Jews in the modern era.

Birdi ,   Israel is ours.   (03.11.13)
Thank you Judge Noam. We Jews refuse point blank to be intimidated and terrorized to leave our homes anywhere in Israel. No matter what the rest of the world says, including the lame liberal posters on this forum, we are here to stay, now and forever. ''Never Again" Am Israel Chai.
5. little known fact
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (03.11.13)
Silwan was originally a Yemenite Jewish settlement. The Jewish Yemenites were force to leave during the war of independence. The area was under Jordanian rule until the Six Day War but the Israelis never bothered to evict the Arabs who stole the Yemenites' homes.
6. 5 Larry - you mean in the modern era
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   netzarim.co.il   (03.11.13)
It was ORIGINALLY Jewish in the 1st century, part of Ir Dawid, and is specifically recorded as I mentioned in #3. (I think that's probably what you meant?) The photo I mentioned shows the Teimani (Yemenite Jewish) settlement in the 1800s.
7. Molotiov cocktail=attempted murder. Deport them to Syria!
SG ,   Teaneck   (03.11.13)
8. Arab Terrorist of age 29= "Youth"...
Tevye ,   Chelm   (03.11.13)
Israeli National aged 16 living in settlement = "Ultra Nationalist Extreme Settler"...
9. Palestinian Price Tag
Holy Warior ,   UK   (03.11.13)
to evict the illegal european squatters.. A taste of your own medicine..
10. All those accusation and only 3 years?
Tevye ,   Chelm   (03.11.13)
11. #9. First of all, learn how to spell before
A ,   Belgium   (03.11.13)
making a fool of yourself. Second, care to discuss English history and how many people YOUR country (if you are at all English) conquered, enslaved, murdered, oppressed and persecuted? Are you ready to step in THAT pile of shite, Holy Whorier?
12. As non-citizens the Criminals Should Be Deported from Israel
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (03.11.13)
These criminals will return from prison and return to acts of terrorism. The best course of action is to deport them to Gaza after their sentence is finished.
13. Deterrent ?
Get Real ,   UK   (03.11.13)
Young enough to carry out life threatening attacks that could have led to deaths or serious injury. Numerous attacks over a period of time. Firebombs, aggravated assault etc etc Seems fairly lenient sentences with little deterrent effect.
14. Thanks goodness for posters like "Holy Warrior" (#9)!
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.11.13)
He calls this a Palestinian campaign "to evict the illegal European squatters". Posters like him are a powerful illustration of the true motivation and deep-seated racism that are at the heart of anti-Zionism, whose real goal is to try to erase the Jewish people's history and very existence. Thank goodness for posters like "Holy Warrior", whose naked racism and aggressive hatred remind us of exactly what and who we are dealing with!
15. These Palestinians...
Mike   (03.11.13)
...are behaving no different than Israelis settlers.
16. Corrupt property acquisition through "Absentee Property Law"
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.11.13)
17. #11 save your breath
(03.11.13)
#9 isn't English and England isn't his country. He moved there from the Middle East because of the benefits.
18. #16 Sort of like the acquisition of most of the US, right?
A ,   Belgium   (03.12.13)
Except the owners weren't absent, they were cheated, murdered and forced onto reservations by your predecessors. But that's acceptable in Amerika, right? Or at least in Silver Bay, Minnesota.
19. How is 3years in jail enough punishment 4 attempted murder?
Moshe ,   Usa   (03.16.13)
