1. EU: Jews are not going to take yor crap anymore
carlos ,   San Diego CA   (09.22.13)
2. The EU is out of control
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (09.22.13)
Said "diplomats" refused to identify themselves - they were violating Israeli laws, they assaulted an Israeli soldier and now they are whining because they bowed down to. Take all the EU "diplomats" and deport them
3. Good Israel reaction to EU -eject those
Sam ,   USA   (09.22.13)
diplomats. Revoke their diplomatic status . make then persona non gratis and give them 4 hours to exit Israel. Enforce strictly Israel decision that EU may not enter Judea-Samaria
4. Clearly, the EU leadership, along with the leadership of the
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (09.22.13)
leadership of the government of France, ought to come out with a clear statement, apologizing to the citizens of Israel and to the entire Jewish people whose nation-state Israel is, for the absolutely unacceptable behavior of its personnel, and especially the French among them. No diplomat, regardless of who he or she may be, and regardless of their mission at any given time and place, initiate the beating of local law enforcement officers. Indeed, the diplomat in question out to apologize not only to us, Jews, but to the person himself for having caused this provocation and having harmed a young man who was doing his job to enforce law and order. Shame on you, Europeans, if you don't come out and apologize, and immediately, shame on you!!
5. wow
elke ,   USA   (09.22.13)
unlawful to render aid to 120 souls whose homes were demolished?!! that speaks volumes about the "Israeli ethic" doesn't it?
6. #1 yes they are
(09.22.13)
Some French girl came up to one of the IDF soldiers and slapped him, following in the tradition of her Jew-baiting forefathers. I do not know why that girl was not tasered and thrown in jail, why the French ambassador is not on a flight back to Paris on cargo class, and why we aren't supplying the Basque freedom fighters with weapons to get rid of the French colonists.
7. MARION, stay in your arab suburb in France !
Andy ,   Manchester, UK   (09.22.13)
there you can enjoy wearing the burqa, and all the niceties of "multi-cultural" islamic France !
8. European ""diplomates" ignoring Israeli laws.
tiki ,   belgium   (09.22.13)
It seems that when it comes to Israel, Europeans always feel they have special rights & status and allow themselves behavior they wouldn't dare in any other country! It's about time that this phenomena is stopped together with the total out of order & disrespectful behavior of this French woman beating an Israeli officer. There is no excuse & no pardon but as they have immunity and can't be tried, throw them out!
9. Expell them!!
Gallula ,   Paris   (09.22.13)
Israel waits for further explanations and condemns these militants !! Europe forgot that Jews are now in their own country ! especially French proislamist bastard Ham Israel haï
10. no surprise
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (09.22.13)
When the mindless military courts finds Col. Shalom Eisner guilty for striking a Danish provocation activist, why should anyone be surprised that another IDF officer gets punched in the face for carrying out the court's orders. If she is not sent home within 24 hours the IDF isn't worth a pig's s**t to Bibi's government.
11. # 6 and sending the French Embasador home
Al ,   USA   (09.22.13)
Please please please do it. Maybe then the EU will realize that they are not dealing with civilized nation, and carrots do not work with this entity. Economic boycut and cutoff aids are the only language they understand. They continue to steal land and demolish Palestinian homes since inception and its time for the EU to go beyond condemnations.
12. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.13)
Israel is a nation of laws. It is against the law to build without a permit, and it is certainly against the law to tap into Israel's national water carrier and electrical substations. Moreover, diplomats in a foreign country are expected to act diplomatically. Is punching an Israeli soldier your idea of diplomatic or proper behavior? For the record, Israeli courts have ordered the demolition of more than a few Jewish-built structures. Where was the hypocritical European Union then? You are so hidebound by your hatred of the Jewish people and of the Jewish State of Israel that you cannot see the forest for the trees. Seethe in your hatred, dear. If it gets virulent enough, perhaps you'll simply stroke out. As the ersatz "Palestinians" whose illegitimate and baseless "cause" you champion would say -- Inch'allah. Elke. That's a German name, isn't it? Gee. What a surprise!
13. European Prostitutes.
Uzziel   (09.22.13)
They can repeat a thousand times the lie "occupied palestinian territory" and yet it will not make one truth once. As for the french diplomat I would have her removed closed in the same truck with 20 of the arab males he wanted to help for a couple of hours and just wait what would happen to her.
14. Euro Hypocrites
Louis Fried ,   Toronto   (09.22.13)
To hell with those European hypocrites.
15. To No. 5
New Yorker ,   U.S.A.   (09.22.13)
To answer your "question" - yes, it is unlawful for a "diplomat" of a foreign country to act in a thuggish way, in blatant contravention of laws of a another sovereign country, where she is merely a guest. Unruly and spiteful thugs of this type must be dealt with like any other thug, "diplomat" or not. The Israeli border police had acted with relative restraint.
16. #6 Al - the Israel basher
Madeleine ,   Israel   (09.22.13)
Not only do we not "continue" to steal land, we have never stole one inch of land. Yehuda and shomron have been an integral part of Israel for thousands of years until they were taken by jordan in a war (1948) intended to wip Israel off the face of the earth. And in no UN resolution are the words "illegal" or "occupation" mentioned in relatin to Yehuda and Shomron, but only "disputed". Israel has every right to settle in any part of that area.
17. What in a reverse situation?
Raphael ,   Netanya   (09.22.13)
If an israeli diplomat meddled with the dismantling of a gypsy encampment in France, which happens on daily basis, he would be loaded on the next departing plane. The french consulate in Jerusalem is hosting a troop of such parasites whose main duty is doing palestinian agitprop. This lady founded an anti abortion NGO, which siutates her among the traditional rightist jew haters. The bulging staff of this consulate includes 71 people caring for 229 french citizens in the P.A. and 40.000 in W. Jerusalem. Compared to the consulate in Geneva, where 10 perons deal with 130.000 french expats. The difference: full time spies and incitators, who should be stripped from their diplomatic status.
18. To: No. 5, redux
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.22.13)
Do you mind much if I call you "elk?" You know -- an incredibly dumb and cumbersome animal. Suits you incredibly well -- slow, stupid, lumbering and incredibly overweight. That's you, Elk. Enjoy. Find an orange vest, darling, before you are dispatched. I'd rather see you succumb to a long, lingering and incredibly painful death. A bullet is far too kind for the likes of you.
19. UNSC '67 borders, NATO, ICC, and UN sanctions coming in 2014
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.22.13)
20. French Agent Provocator
Beer ,   Germany   (09.22.13)
I wish French Diplomats were that brave in real war zones: in the past during WW2, or now in Darfur or Syria or in their own country that they are loosing. Where they studied Diplomacy? In Al Kaida camps? Such kind of education is trendy in Paris and Marseille nowadays.
21. The EU are full of themselves
BM ,   Bat Yam   (09.22.13)
Why not helping the opressed Christian Palestinians that are being ethnically cleansed from their land according to Open Doors? Why Messianic and Arab Christians cannot enter the birthplace of our messiah? Why is the Christian population in Bethlehem dwindles?
22. Benassi, of 18 Marks Drive?
HaifaGuy   (09.22.13)
What a rathole you're living in! No wonder you are so wound up! Your brother Carmel (are you Lebs?) is probably much better off and this must be driving you nuts. Just remember one thing, steve-o, the Judophobic venom you spread is like a boomerang. You WILL know it when it comes full circle. Loser. PS Kudos for going full monty about your identity: )
23. Oh - I feel so ashamed of EU!
Jouko ,   Finland   (09.22.13)
24. i spit on the EU and steve benassi
JL   (09.22.13)

Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.22.13)
26. NATO, UN, ICC get rid of Foreign Arabs and deport to Mecca
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.22.13)
27. Europe: how dare you
CJK   (09.22.13)
the europeans are jew hating imperialist scum. they want to impose their will on the sovereign jewish state of israel. they will not succeed. israel does not need these cowardly descendants of mass murderers.
28. you cannot serve G-d and guns,weapons,money
daniel   (09.22.13)
29. Formerly I predicted 2011, 2012, 2013 and nothing happened
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (09.22.13)
30. As much as i deplore this idiotic decision of the EU
BM ,   Bat Yam   (09.22.13)
Anti European racism is intolerable in my view.
