1. What should Ayalon do
(04.09.14)
He should annonce that the destruction of Gaza homes by Sharon was a terible mistake (unless he tinks otherwise?), and he would not do it in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. He talks bad things about Kerry but tells Jews nothing what he is going to do NOW. Why he is so scared? Talk to Jews not to Kerry.
2. This will end very badly if nothing is done
Avramele   (04.09.14)
Jewish messianism going back to the days of Akiba's support for the false military messiah Bar Kosiba ends with tragedy. Sanity, pragmatism and an end to the occupation are needed now. True Zionism and the rule of law must vanquish fanaticism internally just as the IDF and smart diplomacy confronts threats from the outside.
3. fear helps
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (04.09.14)
But realize that from the time of Sharon till now, the government has used the settlers to wipe the rear of the Pals while the goodie goodie leftist press roasted them. I can understand their frustrations in dealing with a government that had in the past aided them to settle Samaria and now wants to turn their back on them and sacrifice them to the Pals. It is time for the government to admit Sharon's folly in evicting the people of Gush Katif and pledge that it will never do it again. Perhaps that might bring back some trust. Then they can begin to repair deep wounds that lie under the surface.
4. settlers need to join the real world
zionist forever   (04.09.14)
Whilst I am not against settlement from a moral point of view I am against the fact that they have such a tunnel vision when it comes to Judea & Samaria. For them Judea & Samaria is Jewish land and we must settle there and they seem to forget that the rest of the country is also Jewish land and the problem is it breed ideology likes this. It is true that one of the countries biggest problem is that the majority of MKS come from single issue parties like the haredi, arabs, nationalists and far left rather than mainstream parties like Labor & Likud who have no pet cause and exist to run the country not join coalitions and gain a disproportionate amount of political influence and its why the whole system is dysfunctional. The government should tell the settlers if you attack soldiers we will jot send soldiers to protect you and we will leave you to deal with your arab neighbours. Anybody who does attack a soldier should be given even harsher punishment than palestinians terrorist because the arabs are enemies the settlers are Israeli and the soldiers are there to protect them so if they want to shoot at soldiers they will be treated as worse than arab terrorists.
5. Just like in Rabin's time
(04.09.14)
Someone warning of "Rightists" shooting someone? What do I smell champagne in the air?
6. I challenge the police
(04.09.14)
Yesterday, 50 people allegedly threatened 6 border police for at least 3 minutes, while they broke their equipment. Since Yizhar has only 200 families, it should be very easy for police to identify even one attacker and bring him to justice. It makes you wonder why no arrests have been made, but only wild accusations by two ex-officers.
7. You get what you voted for
Anonymous   (04.09.14)
You voted for Bennett who's nothing but a destroyer of Jewish homes, a destroyer of Yeshivas, a destroyer of Torah and Judaism. You get what you voted for! You should have listened to the real Rabbis who said it all along that Bennett with his ally Lapid are 2 evil souls.
8. NATO must displace IDF in West Bank, protect Arabs from Jews

9. One word - raviv avishai
DD ,   TA - IL   (04.09.14)
been there, seen that and have had oslo and many deaths pushed down my throat! Sounds like we are just before another oslo to enrich the monkey business lefty elite at the price of jewsih lives
10. jewish terror? terrorism is only for Arabs
yoni the jew ,   jewish homeland   (04.09.14)
Terrorism is violent acts that are intended to create fear (terror); are perpetrated for a religious, political, or ideological goal; and deliberately target or disregard the safety of non-combatants. What they are doing is called defending their land without hurting or killing anyone and that is not even close to terrorism.
11. Minister of defence
Harry ,   Haifa, Israel.   (04.09.14)
About time you put things in order and stopped pandering to these extremists What is happening is a direct reflection of your attitude ie seeking the political support of the extreme right is more important in enforcing the law and other social norms.
12. If
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.09.14)
If they were arrested, If they were tried, If they were convicted, If they were punished... Then all this would stop!
13. They are not settlers
Yechiel   (04.09.14)
They are looking for trouble and have leached on to the settlements. Avigdor Leiberman is a settler but he doesn't slash tires. These terrorists should be put in a nut house or jail or both.
14. army hallucinates
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (04.09.14)
The army supposes that they have the support of the people, but that is not the case, except for some misguided leftist, the people actually want the settlers there, to make life for the Palestinians as hard as possible. Pals can pack their belongings and move to Venezuela.
15. Time to get tough with the settler thugs
Nancy   (04.09.14)
They really are their own worst enemy. They effectivley destroyed public support by crossing the red line and attacking our security forces. the very same people who have given up their valuable time, taken away from their families and work to protect these thugs. Time to withdraw all protection and let them fend for themselves. And cut all funding to this so called settlement, which is a waste of tax payers money.
16. Yofi!
Gady ,   Mexico City   (04.09.14)
drosim acting like arabim metorafim
17. #14
Ehud ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.09.14)
If you also were to shift to Venezuela we would benefit by regeristing an immediate rise of the national IQ.
18. NO HELP AND UNDERSTANDING FOR CRIMINALS
(04.09.14)
Let the settlers without water ,without food,energy or techniques and IDFprotection -like in times as they claim- and the problems will be solved like in THAT TIMES and not day by day on the shoulders and Lifes of our soldiers and the money, what is needed for the survivors, for the first generation what built our State and the poor, what dont call themselves settlers ,activist etc ! And let our soldiers be protected in better ways.
19. nobody killed hurt or maimed,it is not terror
trump   (04.09.14)
Leftists keep mum when arabs kill!
20. 3 Very well said Larry
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (04.09.14)
21. Let's keep it real
Eugene Levant ,   New York & US   (04.09.14)
They are slashing tires, painting nasty messages and vandalizing bases.
22. nothing has happened.
jochair ,   kfar saba Israel   (04.11.14)
You may worry, but no shooting has occurred yet, so do not blame Yitzharies, for possibilities.but if you are afraid, take away their guns, but then you wiil have to protect them against Arab arracks, and what would be worse?
