joe ,   chicago usa   (06.02.13)
That must be a proverb! Amen:)
32. The result of hate teaching from in Arab
Jozek ,   Wroclaw Poland   (06.02.13)
Culture , Pure hate and racist behaviour to Jews that reflect ARAB culture and teachings in all levels of society. No one surprise here!!
33. Get preventive treatment
Shimon ,   Cincinnati USA   (06.02.13)
Until mandatory HIV, etc. screening is done on both the ladies. This is not a joking matter. The Egyptian should be banned from all further competition.
34. so called promised land
mofti   (06.02.13)
judaism and israel intertwined in a beautiful religion at its core. However, several things are evident from history. Jews and arabs given religious differences are oil and water and do not mix ever except for a buck. The promised land is an invention that has been a burden and curse on the jews. They need a new land approved by the UN and funded by the arab world far away frm any arab.then the palestinians sunnis willbe smashed by the shiite alawites and the games begin. Jews are western in their thinking and the middle east, most of it, is a backward swamp of tribal islamic blood revenge sunni vs shiite. Jews should look to a new land. And no chamberlain proposals advanced by livni and kerry will change the fact that arab and jew never got along in the past and now, not to mention that arabs don't get along with anyone.
35. zoology
EISENFELD ,   ISRAEL   (06.02.13)
Not a surprise when you see how they kill each other. If nobody set the limits for them they behave like beasts.
36. Please have a tetanus injection

37. rotten sportsmanship
Big Al ,   JHB. SAfrica   (06.02.13)
Was the Egyptian wrestler censured by any wrestling sportsbody or are they all petrified from pressure or just plain apathetic because there is an Israeli involved. Well done on the gold. I hope you dont contact a disease from the bite. The Egyptian should rightly receive a lengthy ban. She was probably treated a hero at home for her disgusting behavior directed at an Israeli and showered with sweets on her arrival. viva la sport
38. tutu
big al ,   s africa   (06.02.13)
tutu I think that when you think you are thinking with what you have hidden under your tutu

41. TUTU
Hertzel ,   Tveria   (06.02.13)
My "dear" cousin, "Palestine" is FREE. Palestine is a name an enemy dubbed on the the land of Israel 2000 years ago, your schools never taught you that, it is not your fault, your ignorance is talking. Israel (what the Romans called palestina, has been free in 1948. you can leave anytime you pleasse Mo roun...

Hertzel ,   Tveria   (06.02.13)
Are you mildly insinuating that this article is a Lie, cause it appears in Israeli paper?, and that the Muslim Monster did not do anything at all??? go wash your brain will you !!! Ask yourself WHY do you feel this way, probably cause you belong to that same wild and ugly bunch that this "wrestler" came from.
43. Kol Ha kavod!! Israel is great!
Efroim ,   Virginia   (06.02.13)
1) israeli girl was professional 2) Muslim girl came pre-determined to commit a crime. 3) The muslim girl should have been arrested. 4) As a soccer coach, I have seen this type of behavior when the "opponent" comes with a plan to hurt the other players. -- Its not about sports anymore. Iranian "athletes" also make trouble when they have to compete with an Israeli sportsman.
44. they are not athletes, they are only
Barney ,   USA   (06.02.13)
terrorists in waiting who can wrestle
45. now that is racism
Ilana   (06.02.13)
shame on her disgusting and shameful behavior. Go Ilana!!
46. ILANA
JAVIER ,   BEER SHEVA ISRAEL   (06.02.13)
VERY GOOD ILANA YOU ARE THE BIG WINNER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
47. Egyptian Wrestler
Louis Fried ,   Canada   (06.02.13)
Not surprising in view of the current events in Eqypt. Morsi and the Brotherhoodhas taught her well.
48. Ilana v the animal
Get Real ,   UK   (06.02.13)
Congratulations in overcoming this animal and winning the title. This will strengthen you both mentally and physically for your future in the real sport and spur on all Israelis in all future sports events. Hope a complaint was lodged and the animal is banned for life.
49. Wrestling match a microcosm of Israeli/Egyptian relations.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.02.13)
An Egyptian sneakily attacked an Israeli. The Israeli parried the vicious attack and won. Sounds like a microcosm of the Yom Kippur War. Sounds like a microcosm of Israeli/Egyptian relations in general. However, to be a true parallel of the idiotic conduct of Israeli leaders ceding the Sinai, the Israeli wrestler would have had to pretend the Egyptian won.
50. Sry but it's fate
S herif ,   Egypt   (06.02.13)
I regret what happened but this is a result when u force ur self in a wrong Bulding .. Unwelcomed n trouble sum.

52. free what??? there is not such a place palestine
aaron ,   mexico   (06.02.13)
53. Israel
Carole 67 ,   Colwyn Bay   (06.03.13)
No34....The land of Israel belongs to the jews! God gave it to them in perpetuity and now He`s brought them back from all the countries as He promised! It is the arabs who should vacate the land as they hate their jewish neighbours!
54. Disgraceful
INDIAN in the US ,   USA   (06.03.13)
Could the Egyptian lady not be disqualified for not shaking hands? And biting an opponent? Well.......at least its not as bad as the holy warriors in Syria!
55. Woof! Woof!
Sam SM ,   UK   (06.03.13)
This rabid jihadi should be muzzled like a dangerous dog. Her behaviour is appalling & just goes to show how hateful, intolerant and backward the arab/ muslim world is.
56. #12 what???
Steve ,   Israel   (06.03.13)
Are you saying it take 2 people for one of them to cheat?
57. Egyptian wrestler attacks Israeli
Dora G ,   Northridge, Ca   (06.04.13)
Someone who cannot shake hands with a competitor should immediately be removed from the competition. It does not surprise me though, the Egyptian's disgusting behavior reflects her culture and lack of civilized behavior. Congrats to Israel. The win is even sweeter!
58. Mazal tov, Ilana!
David ,   Washington, DC, USA   (06.04.13)
I hope you had all your shots before the tournament!
59. re:re:free palestine and then u will be respected
Mohammed ,   Palestine   (06.04.13)
The guy was right, leave Palestine and you will be respected. And when you say Palestine doesn't exist you are wrong. Because it is the land between Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Lebanon (the whole land). on November 2012 the world voted for us. and hisotrically if you say Palestine did not exist then sorry, your Bible is lying. just check where Abraham the father of Isaac (father of Israelis) lived. for little help check [Genesis 21:34]. So try again :D Now, what about this better idea. return back to your grandfather original country and save you self from what you called hatred.
60. re 59
nigel ,   London   (06.06.13)
For heavens sake Mohammed -stop. Israel is a legal entity as voted for by the UN in 1947. Carry on like this and you will just keep perpetuating hatred. BTW. My Great Grand father lived in Israel. As for the go back to where you came from bit - yes of course that worked well. Perhaps I should apply your maxim to the Muslims living in the UK - you might have heard a mosque was burned down yesterday and the Jewish community has come out in support of the Muslims here. Your comment is exactly what the EDL ( basically a neo Nazi movement) is saying to Muslims in the UK. Do you think I should start joining them saying get out of the UK. There will never be peace if you and like-minded people keep up this banal, pointless rhetoric.
