1. Where are the arrests?
Bernard Moskowitz ,   Cincinnati, USA   (06.04.05)
How come we don't hear of massive arrests of these demonstrators? Why doesn't AG Mazuz threaten them with charges of sedition? Aren't they threatening the security of the state? Don't they understand that a large majority of the country is for the fence? Oh, I forgot, that's only for the " far right extremists "
2. Wonderful news!
D. U. Belitsky M.D. ,   San Francisco USA   (06.04.05)
Now the IDF can disperse the terrorists without having to stain our precious soil with a single drop of Pali blood.
3. Having Fun
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (06.04.05)
The problem is that this new sound technology will be used in peaceful demonstrations. The IDF doesn't distinguish between riots and peaceful demonstrations. Infact, the IDF itself would turn a peaceful demonstration into a riot.
4. Democratic Israel
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (06.04.05)
Well, when it comes to testing new technology, i beleive that IDF made a big step forward, but towards something very sad and anti democratic like building a wall to make Jews happy and secure and devide the land and lifes of Palestniean people. My fellow Jews, arabs are a pain in the neck and will be so till the day of judgment, you must change you approch, as 57 years is a very short historic period and you are showing siences of loosing your grip.
5. New sonic weapon
Kim Walker ,   Denver, Colorado   (06.04.05)
Treating demonstrators like laboratory rats has become typical Israeli tactics. Once the hope of a desparate world, Israel has become our shame. The wall, the weapons, the torment imposed upon a captive people- all of it- demonstrates to the world that Israel has sacrificed the ethical to the idols of security. And for what? - For the sake of a few thousand stiff-necked and bigoted schmucks from Brooklyn who don't want to live near the shwartzes? You've certainly lost the support of this Jew from Denver. Shame.
6. #5 Yea, just what we love..a self hating Jew.
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.04.05)
Hey kim, just ask yourself one question.K? You said "Treating demonstrators like laboratory rats has become typical Israeli tactics" I call you on that bull and the rest of your shameful spew.Tell ya what, do us a favor and go to pali land and do a pro-Israel demo there.I'd love to see the result.What? Did you say something? I'm sorry, I can't hear you.You are screaming too loud? Seems you lost your head and it wasn't an experiment.Turns out you have become a new 'welcome mat lesson to all collaborators with the Zionists' decoration called 'head and guts on a stick' ! Maybe you can take your 'holier then thou' road trip to baby assad's syria or that absolute bastion of freedom, saudi arabia? Until then, you have nothing of value to say and you self haters look ignorant as usual.
7. The Great Wall
Concerned American ,   Houston,, USA   (06.04.05)
Where can I send money to help pay for this great wall..... IIt will have great benefit saving the lives living inside of the West Bank,,,,, My sympathy is for the Israel people who have to look at this wall every day...... I would make it 100% solid,,,,, and 40 ft tall......
8. Keep up the good work Israel
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.04.05)
Criticism of Israel continues whether she uses violent or non-violent methods for crowd control or to deter terror. Israel has the support of people who take the time to understand the reality on the ground and they are the ones that matter.
9. to Cliff
Kim Walker ,   Denver, Colorado   (06.04.05)
What Israel is doing is creating a medieval fort- a 20' high concrete cylinder surrounding their little section of the hood. But this is the 21st century. So what happens when the pissed off folks outside the wall decide to lob missiles and grenades and mortars over the top? Is Sharon's next project to build a lid? Hey! Maybe a retractable dome! I figure the best thing to do when you move into a bad neighborhood is find a way to get along with the neighbors. Sure- make peace with the little putz from Syria. Why not? Give him back the Golan. Make peace with Lebanon. There's never been a better chance. And invite the Palestinians into the family. Intermarry with them. Become less like greedy Scarsdale suburbanites and more like your brothers and sisters in the neighborhood. Nah.. just put on lid on the cylinder. It's easier...
10. MORE IDF sickness
(06.04.05)
And the "Israelis" ; wonder why the Palestinains abhor them? These disrespectful jewish soldiers make me ill. Israeli army squad in cup final invasion Chris McGreal in Jerusalem Saturday May 28, 2005 The Guardian The commander of an Israeli army squad has been suspended after his patrol took over a Palestinian home and confined the family to a spare room so the soldiers could watch Liverpool's victory in the Champions League final. A Palestinian youth, Anan al-Zrayer, told Israeli television that he was stopped in the West Bank town of Hebron by soldiers who asked if his family had satellite television. http://www.guardian.co.uk/israel/Story/0,2763,1494482,00.html ----------------------------------------------------------------
11. I love it!
David Greene ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.04.05)
Wow, I can really tell by the comments here that pro-Isreali and pro-Jewish people really value the sanctity of life. Since Jews, Christians and Muslims believe in a just God, why do we continue to do things that defy his word? Take a look in the mirror and just say to yourself: "I'm a God-damn hypocrite"!
12. Give Me Some
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (06.04.05)
Kind of disgusting to see what kind of people we have to live with. They enjoy the suffering of people and use "terrorism" to justify it. I thought that the only inhumane animals (Nazis) we had were dealt with a long time ago, guess I was wrong. We need more people like Kim Walker.
13. To No. 10
NYC Girl   (06.04.05)
Gee, I guess compared to murdering and maiming innocent people with suicide bombs (some of whom were Arabs, by the way) and disemboweling those hapless reservists who inadvertently took a wrong turn, what those soldiers committed was REALLY an atrocity.
14. NYC sick girl
Libyan Guy ,   Italy   (06.04.05)
So on a nice sunny day, you will love to have company with mental ill people, that beleive god loves only them, with their full gear of wepons to watch TV in your mum's bed room, in this way they are not committing an atrocity, they are only poor hapless reservists, looking to have some fun, maybe you can help them !!! you are really sick to compare between a military that occpies territories since 67, humiliating, killing children and people and expect them to die in silence. keep smiling in nyc and be happy.
15. Let me know how much you're sending..
Amelia ,   Disenchanted, USA   (06.04.05)
I'll make sure my taxes are underpaid by your amount plus 10 percent. Violence begets violence, if the IDF would stop doing things like emptying weapon clips into 13 year old girls and running people over with D-9 bulldozers, maybe the Palestinians wouldn't want to use their individual "Samson Option" of becoming suicide bombers. I was raised on pro-Israel propaganda for 25 years...since then I've been thinking for myself. Screw 'em - they're bringing it on themselves.
16. typical response
Antisatan ,   Canada   (06.04.05)
Hey (why don't you jump off a) Cliff, if your are so sure of your opinions, it is you who should go, and live in israel, and defend the occupation in person. However, you are the typical jew, and would rather someone else do your work for you. Your time is soon to come, enjoy yourself, its later than you think.
17. #11, correction
Antisatan ,   Canada   (06.04.05)
In your response you say "Take a look in the mirror and just say to yourself: "I'm a God-damn hypocrite"! " I wish to correct you. I believe it is more appropriate to say, "I'm a GodLESS and damned, and a hypocrite"! Shalom
18. Nice to see the zionists shrilling
TB   (06.04.05)
To all the stupid jews who hide behind the "at least we're not maiming innocents" - I ask you to respond to this. How can you justify IDF soldiers murdering innocent palestinian children?? I know of several incidents, including one in which a 13 y/o girl was shot TWENTY times. Go on, justify it. Oh that's right, you can't. Do you really expect the Palestinians to just willingly accept more than half a century of senseless murder and oppression? Get a damned clue you fools.
19. To Libyan Guy
NYC Girl   (06.05.05)
I was referring to those two reservists who were murdered and eviscerated (look up that word if you don't know what it means) by those savages who were allowed into that Palestinian police station and then showed off their bloody hands for the whole world to see. Don't talk to me about sick when this is the kind of thing the people you're sympathetic to do to other human beings.
20. #9 #12 #14 #15 #16 #18
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.05.05)
Man you guys take the cake.You have now beyond a doubt proven to me that all of you have no argument to stand on at all.Hear me? No argument to stand on at all.Instead all I see is meaningless dribble detailing the same old lies and misinformation.This topic was about the IDF for finding a humane way to control violent crowds without harming anyone,but you Jew haters can only see the sky as green not blue! Tell ya what Kim that wall, "medieval fort- a 20' high concrete cylinder " only confirms how little you understand about the situation.But you know what Kim? You are a lost cause and I I feel for you. I only hope you can wake up from your self-hating dream before it's too late! Put to all you simple-minded folks.(and oh, don't delude yourselves with how 'smart' you think you are, cause you aren't) Why that wall? Because your pali buddies made the wall possible.Blame them, not the innocent Jews just getting on with life. To the #12 islamist.Take a look in the mirror buddy, the new nazis are animals like yourself.Get over it and face that reality.Maybe you can be human one day! #14 we have a special for you to.You have also shown that you lack the moral fiber to make a valid argument!You sound like aljazzera on Valium.Get a life.Love that selected memory of yours, eh? We can and will list the millions od slaughtered innocents by your ROP(MA) terrorists! We see through you. #15 You are full of bull.Again another useless post blaming the Jews for something your pali buddies made possible. Actually if you have "been thinking for myself." you would have concluded just the opposite.You have no backbone! #16 It ain't the occupation as you know it.The Jews have always lived there, the palis 'occupy' the land.Shows once more how little dhimmiwits like yourself know. To #18 Man you take the cake buddy.You said this gem "Go on, justify it. Oh that's right, you can't." Put that question to your pali terror heros.What's that I hear? No answer? Come on, you can justify killing little babies on busses for being Jewish "Go on, justify it. Oh that's right, you can't." not without looking like a bloody fool and hypocrite! Which you are BTW! I can easily see how the majority of you dhimmiwits are brainwashed by the arab controlled media and consider BBC,ABC,CBS and CNN as reliable news! Jokes on you kiddies.You lose again.
21. Anti-satan, TB
Jay ,   Chicago   (06.05.05)
What the hell do you mean being a "typical jew". You are an anti-semite, or at the very least made a grossly anti-semetic remark. TB- Israel has made several good faith efforts to get along with the Pallestinians. They had golden, no wait it was a platinum oppurtunitty at camp david and they blew it like a 4 yr old who didnt get everything he wanted.
22. Put up or shut up!!
kj ,   scotland   (06.05.05)
OUR!!! What country do you inhabit!!? If your 'soil' is so important, go tend it! Fund it from your own purse, compete in the global economic market, be effective. Aint gonna happen, Huh!? Stand off, 'safe'! stop killing people 'in your name' as some kinda arcade game. If you 'belong' GO!
23. Living In Mars
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (06.05.05)
To Jay: Get along with the Palestinians? Camp David? Do you hate yourself? It's hazardous to your health to believe these things. It's like a fairy tale for Israeli children; "here came loving and peaceful Israel with open arms to the Palestinians asking for peace and friendship, but the mean Palestinians sent their suicide bombing kids to kill Jews" Please get real, no one here has time to play games.
24. Pali?
Bill Meyer ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.05.05)
Is calling a Palistinian "Pali" the same as calling a Japanese a "Jap" or a Chinese a "Chink" or a Jew a "Hebe" or "Kike"?
25. to #23
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.05.05)
you said "It's like a fairy tale for Israeli children" I must say you sound repetitive and boring as usual. I will take the time to remind mr.islamist terror supporter that the pali cause was created by the arab league bigots just to drive the Jews from their true homeland,Israel into the sea.Don't forget that.You also said "Please get real, no one here has time to play games. " Hum, truly a timely statement spoken by one who should follow his own advice! So I ask, where "in" mars do you live? Send a postcard,k?
26. #24 Is calling a Palistinian "Pali"
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.05.05)
No.Pali is not a race, religion or a country. It is in fact a fraud conceived the arab league in their never ending islamic quest to rid the holyland of the Jews!
27. Eating Ham
Fadi ,   FL, USA   (06.05.05)
Hey Cliff, thanks for the support, your words really inspire me. BTW, Im in Jupiter right now, hold that card until I get back to Mars.
28. to fiddle fadi
cliff from montreal ,   Canada   (06.06.05)
hey when you get back from your trip travelling in your own private universe where all fruitcake islamists like yourself hate the Jews,we will be more than pleased to serve up some smoked ham for you, k?
29. Sonic Weapon
Jacob ,   Philadelphia   (06.08.05)
What the report does mention is that all though the "sound beam" is not loud to observers, it can still rupture the ear drums of anyone in contact with the focused sound. Much like so called non-lethal weapons are actually less lethal, since death does occur even with plastic or rubber projectiles.
30. small acts of love
Jesse ,   Fukushima, Japan   (06.19.05)
It's difficult to defend yourself without hurting the other. Einstein shared insights into the universality of truth. If something is true in one place, it's true in all places. This could also be applied to feelings; of people for example. Another of his insights is that nothing is annihilated. Matter changes into energy, and back again. One doesn't end another's energy by destruction. War is never ended through hate, only love. As long as there are sides, there is war. Anger is like a drug. It gives great power for a short time, but depletes vital energy. If we use this drug more than the nourishment of love, it's an addiction, ruining our mental health. The more pain we're in, the more we want the drug; but over time this will weaken us further. Only nourishment can heal us. May all people, all beings find happiness. May there be justice with compassion.
