1. Let the kid (a criminal) try that in Tampa
Cynic ,   USA   (07.05.14)
In the USA if you riot against the police and use rocks, which under our law are deadly weapons, the police would be justified in shooting you.
2. Excuse me, but ...
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.05.14)
... the murder of a "palestinian" boy by his own family because he was a homosexual sparks anger, but no one is bothered when three Jewish youths are kidnapped and then massacred in cold blood? Of course not. They were murdered by Arabs, and the international has no problem with Jews being slaughtered by Arabs. Evidently, they don't have much of a problem with an Arab boy being murdered by Arabs, at least not if they can try and pin the blame on the Jews. Doesn't work as well when you're trying to account for hundreds of thousands of dead Arabs in Syria, or Lebanon, or Iraq, though, does it? Go figure.
3. Fishing In Tampa Bay Is Safer Than Rioting In Jerusalem
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (07.05.14)
He should consider that next time he has to choose. Bottom line is that we will not tolerate violence here in OUR land- in OUR capital. Americans wouldn't in theirs either.
4. Who can tell if this is for real? could be a faked beating
elianna ,   Jerusalem   (07.05.14)
Why jump to the conclusion that the arab story is correct before investigation? shame on you Ynet.
5. HE LIKELY DESERVED A BEATING
CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (07.05.14)
6. If I go to Mexico to riot in the streets,I'll be in body bag
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.05.14)
7. Pigs
Greg Shuller ,   Los Angeles USA   (07.05.14)
That is all
8. Learn from Egypt
Hassan ,   Cairo   (07.05.14)
Stop these assholes before they destroy your country. Don't care what international community says. These people will damage your economy and will cost lives of your citizens. Be tough. Now you have your country don't be pussies.
9. Israel police is shameless
Non Jewish immigrant ,   Haifa   (07.05.14)
They never beat Jews. Only non Jews. Israel is becoming more and more laughable
10. There is no video of a beating.
History nut ,   Israel   (07.05.14)
Ynet plumbs new depths of deceit.
11. Brutality cannot be justified
ggg ,   Tel Aviv   (07.05.14)
Already, the ultra right wingers are defending the indefensible. Israel has not denied the incident and that's already telling. There is defence and there is offence. You can say what you like but this is not an isolated incident. It may well be that the cops were under pressure but the odds were well in their favour and kicking anybody who is being held down on the ground is the act of a brute, no matter which side he's on. More and more there are those who are sinking to the same level as those they accuse and they are creating a frightening loss of control that can't do the rest of us any good.
12. I see only covered men ,they could be arabs pretending to be
rachel ,   usa   (07.05.14)
jews ...they do it all the time ....
13. This Muslim Arab thug is a Jihadi in training,deserves worse
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.05.14)
14. STAGED
Avi ,   USA   (07.06.14)
Pals are good at movie making. it's all too obvious. Father films his son getting beat like that without coming to his rescue. Please! I got a bridge to sell.
15. What a JOKE!
David ,   Montpelier USA   (07.05.14)
What a joke! The family just watched from inside and kept quiet? Yeah right, when was the last time we saw quite Arabs??? This is more Hamas produced footage to avoid responsibility for the murder of three Israelis. And of course what does the US State Department do--help the murders.
16. How do you know when an Arab is lying
Elad ,   Nes Ziona, Israel   (07.05.14)
His lips move
17. Better (and sooner) crowd control
rayS ,   USA   (07.05.14)
Water cannon spraying INDELIBLE DYE along with overwhelming numbers of police. This can make it much easier to pick up rioters later and get convictions in court. Every stone thrower should be jailed ,every incident. Get former NY Mayor Guilliani to show you basics.
18. Don't faze us at all that Junior caught a beating
Cameron ,   USA   (07.06.14)
He stepped out the door to raise Hell and tangle with the cops. A serving of needful medicine for Junior.
19. This tape has been edited. The individuals beating are carry
Adi ,   Zurich   (07.05.14)
This tape has been edited. The individuals beating are carrying no firearms and have diferent helmets.
20. #11
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (07.05.14)
... at last, a voice of reason.
21. You do not react to provocation
Maurice Solovitz ,   London, England   (07.05.14)
Bottom Line - if the police were attacked they should have taken him into custody without the prolonged beating - there is never a reason to do it. it is not just ethics. If they start on Arabs - they will progress to other people they dislike or who pi** them off. It demonstrates a lack of self- control that is very worrying.
22. #4 You're right. Just like that retarded Arab kid
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.06.14)
his cousin who was killed by Arabs as reported in other media: "the father arrived, and he disputed his wife, saying that it was Arabs who tried to kidnap the son." However, now, he's changing tunes and putting the blame on Jews to please the Arabs and the stupid left in Israel. THE LEFT HATERS AND DESTROYERS OF ISRAEL SHOULD BE THROWN OUT OF ISRAEL.
23. Obama couldn't care less about US marine beaten in Mexico
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.06.14)
Andrew Tahmooressi was jailed for nothing and beaten there more than once. Obama cares only about his brothers in faith.
24. #16
joe ,   vienna   (07.06.14)
How do I know when Israel tells lies? When Mark Regev move his lips. Proven a 1000 times.
25. how stupid
forehead1 ,   usa   (07.06.14)
dum azzes ---- really? you claim that the israeli police arrested an already beaten 15 yr old? what? it saved the police time? they didn't have to beat him themselves? modern israeli arrest==== pre-beaten prisoner LOL
26. Stomp his face, again, again, again, again, chosen ones
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (07.06.14)
6, 13, 23, not mine.
27. #9 Laughable?
Benji ,   US   (07.06.14)
As long as it's not on your street and you're not the driver being dragged from your car. Funny as long as the police and IDF put their lives on the line to protect your sorry ass. Arab parents send their children to provoke the police and IDF so they can video bloodied faces and distribute it to hypocrites around the world. Seems the Khdeir children have been used for this purpose. You find that laughable too? Hassan #9 gets it. Thank you Hassan.
28. To: No. 9
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (07.06.14)
Has it escaped your notice that 99 percent of the border police are Arabs? Please laugh your way out of our country. Take your Arab boy-toy with you. Too bad you didn't know about that 15 year old boy in Shuafat, huh? A missed opportunity for a pedophile such as yourself. We can give you two one-way tickets to Teheran. I'm sure you'll find much happiness there. Think of your fate as erotic strangulation gone a little too far. Because they WILL hang you. So go ahead, keep biting the hand that feeds you. Ingrate.
29. To All Commentators
Harold ,   USA   (07.06.14)
I wish President Obama and the world leaders watch this video and find out who they are dealing with for peace and the creation of two states solution. This kid is an American citizen and someone has to speak out and say something.
30. Israeli Police beating US- Palestinian Teen
pgs ,   Jerusalem   (07.06.14)
There is no beating or kicking in this video. There is no clear image of the detainee. This is pure incitement.
