1. Iarael releases Islamic terrorists from Prison
marcel ,   Florida   (11.20.05)
Insane Israel led by fools and cowards punishes it's only sane citicens who try by non violent means to stop the deadly appeasment and surrender. At the same time Israel releases hundreds of Islamic terrorists to kill innocent Jews once again . There has never been such an evil government since Israel was re-born. Mr. Lefkovitch is a true hero ,one of few in a sick society which has lost it's soul and identity.
2. too much !
yoel   (11.20.05)
This is too much for blocking roads. In Judaism we never condemn for intentions, but only for actions. He intended, but he didn't / couldn't do it finally. I need to add I personnally condemn igniting fire on cars. He's not different than muslim riotters in France.
3. Maybe too much, but...
Yakir ,   Swiss   (11.20.05)
...still, it's a crime to act against the government. Yoel, if a man's going to commit a crime, won't you (as the government) try to stop him before it happens? They caught him organizing it, that means he surely would've done it. Anyway, trust me, the judges aren't stupid, they know what they do. If everybody would do what he wants; block roads, burn cars, kill people... it would be a total chaos. What the government is trying to show herewith, is disciplin! Disciplin is the key of life. Even the bilbe teaches you disciplin. There's a verse: " Pray for the welfare of the government, since but for the fear thereof, men would swallow each other alive." ;-)
4. Blocking the Ayalon
gerschor ,   Raanana, Israel   (11.20.05)
This guy was going to commit arson and block a major highway, causing people to be delayed in getting to work, to school, to the airport, possibly even to a hospital, and he's the salt of the earth? The sentence is, if anything, too lenient.
5. Freedom of Speech
Joe Levy ,   USA   (11.20.05)
Blocking roads is a legitamite nonviolent protest. Was done all the time during the Vietnam War. I guess freedom of speech is non existant in Israel.
6. Good!
Michael Steiner ,   Praha, EU   (11.20.05)
A clear message has to be sent to fanatics and forces of darkness from all sides that we will NOT tolerate a bigoted minority impose its standards on the rest of us through violence. If you disagree with actions of a democratically elected government, then use the political processes to change the government. An attack on the government is an attack on Israeli citizens who elected that government. Levkovich is a terrorist and may he have a jovial time in prison. (In my view, two years is excessive; nine months plus three years' probation would've sufficed.)
7. Let him go
Sam ,   Gush Katif, AmH'   (11.20.05)
He does not deserve anything but a complement for trying to put a little delay in peoples life so they can have the time to think of what a absurd police run country we live in. We don’t even have the right to protest or the simple rights to live where we want and then get thrown out of our homes.
8. You can protest, but...
Yakir ,   Swiss   (11.20.05)
...you have to do it fairly, without blocking roads. first of all, the roads are not yours. you have no rights expect driving on it, and second, you can't just stop people from doing their daily basis, going to work or whatever... one thing steiner said (the rest was bullshit, as always) was right: if you want to protest against something or someone, then vote for the one who represents the same political intensions. but don't spread anger and agression over the land just because you have a problem man. besides, who cares what your problems are? there's a law... and if the government decides something, so it will be... because the majority of the land elected it. damn, guys! it's called disciplin!
9. HUGE REWARDS FOR MUSLIM BARBARIC ATROCITIES & MASS MURDERS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (11.20.05)
Muslims have the very special status of being allowed to break all laws in Israel. 10,000 Jews in Gaza and Northern Samaria were rendered jobless and homeless BECAUSE THEY ARE JEWS AND NOT MUSLIMS. In an act of sadistic cruelty, Jews are forced to pay mortgages on their destroyed homes. Their Jewish land and assets were seized by Israel's military and given to Islamists who fight for conquest of all Israel. In intense hate for G-D, Muslim mobs destroyed the synagogues-a huge victory for global jihad against the hated non-Muslim infidels. An Islamic terror state in Israel is the international reward and approval for over 26,000 terror attacks against Israel in the last five years and the maiming and murdering of thousands of Jews. Rewarding those from many nations who finance the terrorists, and those who arm and train them. Rewarding Palestinian Authority Minister Mohammed Dahlan who was in charge of coordinating the withdrawal with Israel-terror master who is responsible for the bomb attack on the Israeli school bus in November 2000 in which two school teachers were killed and three children from the Cohen family lost their legs. Rewarding Islamic human bombers for blowing up Jews and destroying the lives of survivors who have nails from the bombs embedded in their bodies. The bombs filled with metallic objects to maximize the suffering of survivors. Rewarding Palestinian Authority Muslim society who celebrate by the thousands in the streets when innocent Jews are murdered by homicide bombers. Rewarding the Palestinian Authority for teaching through their mosques, media and public education system that the murder of Jews is a religious obligation. Rewarding the Palestinian Authority for hailing as heroes the savage murderers of defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters in Gush Katif in May 2004. Rewarding the sermon (and many similar) of Oct 13 2000 broadcast from Gaza mosque, Dr. Ahmad Abu Halabiya, on Palestinian Authority TV (transcribed by Memri): "Have no mercy on the Jews, no matter where they are, in any country. Fight them, wherever you are. Wherever you meet them, kill them. Wherever you are, kill those Jews and those Americans who are like them..." Genocide and/or planned genocide breaks international law.
10. "Crime" Surely Doesn't Fit the Punishment
Adina Kutnicki ,   NJ, US   (11.21.05)
This is all evidence of grave harassment against the right wing and all who dare defy the "authorities". While left wingers, from Peretz's union thugs on down block highways at whim, endangering public safety at many venues, no one gets arrested. Peretz, the thug master in chief, even gets nominated to head Labor for his efforts! In addition, Islamic terror preachers are arrested, and then inexplicably let out in a revolving door of justice (injustice) on a regular basis. If they want to exact a pound of flesh from this young man, having him pay a fine would surely be enough. Because the "authorities" themselves acted in such fascist manners during expulsion, who can blame those who resorted to desperate means? This harsh payback treatment will come back to bite the "authorities" in their asses soon. They will not last much longer in power. The people will take back their country from the few thousand who impose total control.
11. Good! I am glad he's been punished.
(11.21.05)
these road blockers behaved in an irresponsible manner and caused harm to many people. Don't believe me? check with MDA (Magen David Adom) and see how many people weren't able to get to hospitals because of these people and their roadblocks.
12. Adina...not that you'll believe me...
(11.21.05)
and you will end up yet again demanding that I give up a name but.... if you check the facts will show: 1. "left wingers" and union members and union leaders block access roads to factories NEVER major transportation arteries. 2. "left wingers" unlike these "right wingers" don't get treated with kid gloves....no they get shot at by the IDF. 3. and I am not even going to mention what the IDF and Israeli Police did in October 2000. therefore....please stop whinning!
13. Israel releases islamic terrorists, release this good Jew.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica, CA   (11.21.05)
14. Lets hope that they will learn their lesson
Jennifer ,   Israel   (11.21.05)
There is a big difference between standing your ground and breaking the law. These people are setting an example to the young who were following them like sheep. Not only did they endanger their lives, the lives of the followers and all the innocent drivers on the Ayalon. The right decision was made by the democratic state.
15. Michael Steiner -- He's a terrorist?
AK   (11.21.05)
Are you nuts? you call somebody planning to block a road a terrorist? What do you call the people that blow other people up? I know --- militants.
16. jennifer, most of the people on Israeli roads break law.
AK   (11.21.05)
