1. PEACEFULLY PROTESTING IS A CRIME IN ISRAEL?
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.19.05)
If it is a crime to protest a government policy - then FREEDOM IS DEAD IN ISRAEL.
2. Don't worry, the people will walk
(07.19.05)
3. Rivera
Michael ,   Haifa   (07.19.05)
When Israeli Arabs engage in an unarmed peaceful protest they get shot and killed. The same policy should be applied to the settler thugs and their supporters.
4. sue the police on behalf of the bus companies
Dov Miller ,   Washington DC   (07.19.05)
Why doesn't someone sue the chief of police personally for the 10's of thousands of shekels of damages caused by his capricious action on behalf of the bus companies?
5. Settlers should respect the laws
Israeli ,   Tel aviv   (07.19.05)
By the way, to #1 : Just because a bunch of fanatics are prevented to make a lot of balagan in our country doesn't mean that freedom is dead. THIS IS ACTUALLY THE OPPOSITE, and also stop being demagogic and using some concept such as freedom, democracy and justice since this is disproportionate in regards to the actual situation.
6. Israel only pretends to be a western democracy
Craig ,   USA   (07.19.05)
I disgusts me that three billion dollars of American taxpayers' money is given to a country that uses police state tactics to thwart peaceful protests. We may as well throw away our foreign aid money on China.
7. #4: Sue the settlers on behalf ot the people of Israel
Israeli ,   Tel aviv   (07.19.05)
Why doesn't someone sue the settlers for their behavior against the people of Israel with blocking roads and disrupting civil order?
8. Marching is a crime!!!???
Matthias ,   Switzerland   (07.19.05)
Marching in the land of Israel of Israel is a crime? Well, it is forbidden to enter a closed military zone, but I think it is allowed to walk to the border of this zone. if not, then Israel is a police state!
9. Country without a constitution
Sarah ,   Israel   (07.19.05)
Israel needs a constitution. Without it, civil rights are up to whomever's in power.
10. ISRAELI LEADERS RECKLESS ABANDONMENT OF ISRAEL'S DEFENSE
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (07.19.05)
israelinsider.com July 8 2005, 'From London to Gaza', by David Bedein "In recent weeks, American, British and Israeli intelligence sources have revealed that al-Qaida units now operate in the southern section of Gaza, and are positioned to take over the area that Israel Defense Forces would vacate..." Since 1974, it has been Islamist strategy that when Israel was sufficiently weakened through a combination of diplomacy and violence, the Arab nations would join in the final solution against Israel. PA leader, Abbas was Arafat's partner for over 40 years. Shortly after Oslo, Arafat explained on Jordanian TV the PLO strategy adopted in 1974: "Since we cannot defeat Israel in war, we do this in stages. We take any and every territory we can of Palestine, and establish sovereignty there, and we use it as a springboard to take more. When the time comes, WE CAN GET THE ARAB NATIONS TO JOIN US FOR THE FINAL BLOW AGAINST ISRAEL." Colluding with Egypt, the Palestinian Authority have smuggled in anti-tank missiles and anti-aircraft shoulder fired missiles that can take down commercial jets. Israeli leaders invitation for Egyptian military forces to deploy on Israel's border with Egypt fits in perfectly with the Islamist plan for the destruction of Israel. Egypt is equipped with the latest American weapons and, due to massive U.S. military aid has the largest and most powerful army in the Arab world . Nearly a year ago, U.S. Congressman Tom Lantos in the House International Relations Committee, warned Egypt was building up its military in preparation for a future war with Israel. M.K. Steinitz stated: Egyptian military "has been training for war against Israel for the past 10 years." After the 1967 War, the American Joint Chiefs of Staff report stated ISRAEL CAN ONLY BE DEFENSIBLE IF IT RETAINS JUDEA, SAMARIA, GAZA AND THE GOLAN. israelnationalnews - Jan 10 2005 - Israel Radio's morning newsmagazine reported PA leader, Abbas, appeared the night before and declared before cheering crowds, the "little Jihad had ended, and now the BIG JIHAD IS BEGINNING." The crowd responded, "A Million Shahids Marching to Jerusalem!" Israeli military analysts state that after Israel's exit from Gaza terror will greatly increase. Gaza will become Hamastan - the largest terror base in the Middle East with its own airport and seaport - and Al-Qaida - a major terror threat to the entire world - worldnet daily.com, July 11 2005 ‘Al-Qaida nukes already in U.S.’ The Road Map Islamic terror state will reduce TINY, over-crowded Israel to a 9 mile wide border at its middle. A TOTALLY INDEFENSIBLE ISRAEL. Through a series of horrifying concessions and suicidal agreements, under intense pressure from the U.S. and EU, Israel's leaders have recklessly abandoned the defense of Israel.
