The attitude of Israeli male soldiers and the general attitude of Israeli men in general sadly does not allow me to be surprised at these mens' actions. As a religious, unmarried girl who dresses modestly living in Jerusalem, I have been called a zona (prostitute) as well as told to lift up my skirt by men on the street, in broad daylight. I am sick about this horrible chauvinistic society, and believe ever one of these poor girls' claims of harassment.

if what those teenage girls claims are true,and i have a very strong feeling that they are,this conclusion coming from watching clips of the brutal and disgusting behavior of the police. a society is judged by the treatment of its citizens by thier goverment and ofcourse by thier police.at the moment .out of ten points i would give the israeli police minus 10 points. you guys need a compass, you have lost your way. cheers......

Although, after seeing those videos on Arutz Sheva of the cops screaming at people seated in peachful protest and beating them with their batons, I wouldnt doubt that what they say happened happened. I hope more videos will surface in the coming days to put the screws to Olmert to open an investigation and not try to sweep this incident under the rug. Everyone is out to demonize the setllers, but there are rules on conduct for the Mishtara, and if they are guilty of violating them, they should be prosecuted with the same ferocity that other scream the protesters should be. Fair is fair, no?

Finally Ynet prints some balance. Thank you for that, but you know I shouldnt have to thank you for that either. so you have to ask yourself why am I thanking you in the first place. These Yassamnikim are a real question, who are they? Could they have been grouped together as "non-Jews" from former soviet union and elsewhere? I think if they were individually investigated why they are yassamnikim, we all would be horrified at the result. Something isnt right about them. They have a history of anti Jewish behaviour especially in Hevron. An expose into who they are is definately needed. My personal belief is that 80% of them would be foreign imports whos thuggery behaviour is totally acceptable to them. And I say this as one who has long served in Tzahal.

Police Strip Shirt Off Jewish Mother During Protest 17:31 Feb 02, '06 / 4 Shevat 5766 By IsraelNN Staff During a protest at the Shiloh junction north of Amona, a dozen police jumped a mother of nine, delivered strong blows to all parts of her body and then stripped off her shirt in public. The woman, who recently gave birth, told her story to our correspondent on condition of anonymity. She explained that she is ashamed to gain publicity for being stripped in public by the police. Click here to listen to an eyewitness account The incident began when a small group of people, including women and children, began a protest at the police roadblock against the demolition of homes in Amona. One girl crossed the road, and an officer told her to move out of the way. When she talked back to the officer, a policewoman teamed up with the officer, and they pushed her with force to the ground. "At this point," said the mother of nine, "I approached the officers and told them that they were using excessive force for no reason. A friend of mine tried to take a picture of the policewoman's badge, but it was tilted to the side. I extended my hand to straighten her badge, and my friend took the picture." According to the mother, the badge displayed the name: Yana Rosenfeld, #7467875. As per photographer's testimony, this policewoman wore badge "Yana Rosenfeld" "Yana ripped her badge away from me and called out to all the policemen there to arrest me. Within seconds, a dozen officers approached me to arrest me. They grabbed me, pushed me to the ground, and kicked me in my stomach, head, and all parts of my body. Yana kicked me right in my womb. Yana was yelling, 'Hit her hard. Smash her.'" Naomi Shachor, wife of the chief Rabbi of nearby Maaleh Levonah, came over when she saw the policemen trying to arrest a protestor. Naomi says, "We were trying to pull her back towards us. They grabbed her… I saw her on the ground, and they started to pull off her sweater… The ones who did it and pushed her were men... It was a very terrible and shocking moment for me. I am still trying to get myself together from it." The assaulted mother identified this policeman as one of the attackers The assaulted mother continued, "As they assaulted me, they began ripping my shirt. With no shame, several officers deliberately ripped off my shirt, and I was left there exposed. At this point, I started resisting so strongly that they backed off of me a bit, I grabbed my shirt from an officer who was holding it, and fled away in shame."... http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=97820

Barbaric Muslim terrorist murderers show no mercy to Jewish children. But Israel's police and IDF don't go to war against the terrorists. Israel's police and IDF go to war against defenseless Jewish children. Police on horseback charged at a gallop into Jewish peaceful protesters. Jews passively sitting down were savagely hit repeatedly in the head with metal batons. This is the U.S. EU, UN/Russia' Road Map peace process in action, to give Jewish Land and holy places to Islamic terrorists. Shlomo Wollins of: http://www.israelreporter.com "I have just been contacted by a medic who has been involved with the treatment of the 200+ wounded child protestors. He said that doctors who have worked in Israel for 20 years are shocked at extent of wounds and numbers of injured. The doctor said that when the IDF raids an arab “terror-den”, that the terrorists wounded in raid are usually less-severe than the majority of the cases with the child-protestors." Pictures and video evidence of the criminal, brutal, violent pogrom against Jewish children: http://www.hashkafah.com/index.php?showtopic=20215 http://www.israelreporter.com/ http://www.guysen.com/diaporama.php?file=amona http://www.guysen.com/diaporama.php?file=amona_hosto http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=97758 http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=97839 http://www.landofisrael.info/Video/amona-alimut.wmv

to all those who defy the State, foment chaos, sow disunity and endanger the state of Israel and the jewish people

Eventually the corrupt dictatorship of the left will fall never to rise again. And in it's place will rise a people who fear their God and honor Hima above the perverse lying corrupt amoral dogs who pollute the land with their lust for power. The whores of poltics who pollute the soul of Israel must be cleansed from the land.

The settlers have made an art form of victimization. Shame is not something they are aware of. Another media event to take the focus off of their lunatic messianism and its consequences.

Israel must outlaw the terrorist party Kadima and arrest its entire leadership. This was no different than how the Arab countries treat dissent. Violence and Rape as government tools to intimidate the opposition. These sexual attacks were planned from the top. Olmert must be removed from office

A sad, sad situation. As a fellow Jew, I ask you "what would Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob think of this?"

May the victims receive full compensation from the state -and may the perpetrators be arrested and their commanders dismissed. G-d bless all of the victims and their families. Olmert should bow his head in shame. What's even sicker is that radical Leftists like Michael Stoner laughed at these tragic and disgusting crimes and mocked their deep suffering by shouting 'boohoo.' The vehemence of such people knows no bounds.

... previously said that there is no such thing as sexual assault? That all women who make such accusations are liars? That nothing can happen to a good girl? That if a girl goes out in a dangerous place she is asking for it? Now, I'm not saying that they weren't assaulted, but given their pious little holier than though mindset, I'm wouldn't be surprised if that is what they think.

If what the girls are saying is true they should fight back with all their strength for justice.

Olmert is a sick man to order his soldiers into a peacefull demonstration sounds like our kent state to me. id be shocked if he wins next months elections .and to the soldiers how pathetic . save it for your enemies around your borders .for beatings but leave touching womans privates to your wife only .

You heartless morons are standing up for brutal police officers, over the rights of unarmed citizens? shame on you! you morons are true example of why Israel is not up to par to western standards. In the US the police would be dealt with stiffly.

They are a disgrace to the religious community. They knew exactly where they were going and what to expect. What warped education our girls are receiving from home school and ulpana.They contributed nothing except a disgraceful 'Chillul Hashem'. Find a prayer in Professor Lavis new Tfilat Nashim, and ask H' to forgive your disgusting behaviour. We don't want to see you again, so practice some modesty and pray for forgiveness together with your mothers. What a warped community we religious have become if this is how we are bringing up our daughters.

Marcel - why don't you tell us again about Jews charging high rates of interest and being kapos? And about what you believe will happen to the Jews after the Armageddon you believe is coming soon? TELL US> YOU ARE TOO DUMB TO HIDE YOUR BELIEFS FOR VERY LONG.

what garbage you write may Hashem forgive you for your desire to be passive when Jews are attacked and think you can hide behind a sefer tehillim all your life so long as you dont have to endanger your fingernail, you ghetto yidden are a thing of the past. These girls and boys are literally Tzivos Hasham aka Tzvaot Hashem and follow the banner of MACABI mi kamocha b'eilim Hashem while you and your ilk will sit passively expecting Hakodosh Baruch Hu to do all the work for you. Narishkeit, your blind, open your eyes and ask forgivness for yourself, those girls need not ask for they go out and face the enemies of Hashem with pride and zeal in their eyes knowing they are fighting with their presence l'shem shamayim whilst you hide in your cave chalila never to get involved and thinking a tehillim will give you salvation and forgivness. Geulah will not come from the like of you but these truly holy girls and boys.

They really made a fool of themselves with this one, but nevertheless did apologize since they didn't realize that the women they were beating was 1. the wife of the ambassador to Israel of the Dominican Republic and 2. their maid

You said it yourself. Maccabim, not Maccabot!! No mention of masses of women fighting there.Our Giborot from the T'nach are Miriam Devora Channa Yehudit and Esther. They worked fought and prayed singly and with modesty, not in packs like the men. T'hilim? A wonderful idea, but one I didn't mention.Sounds like you're from overseas and you weren't in the army, right? These misguided girls achieved nothing but Chilul H' but it's not their fault. Try to learn the difference between Tefillah and T'hillim, o.k. "Yisraeli"?

You poor guy if you need little girls to fight your battles for you.

Deplorable Girls next time stay home No idealogy is worth this deplorable violence

mi kamocha etc. is neither male or female but a banner under which to rally by. I will concede to your point re Giborot of Tnach. And as for me sounding as one who hasnt served in the army, wrong. I served in a yechida kravit and I well know the difference between tfillah and t'hillim. Elazar? I know a few families there when I lived across the road in Efrat. But all in all I wouldnt say what you say that these bnot yisrael are comitting a chilull Hashem. But I may have been too harsh on you in my original post and for that I apologise. But as I said I still dont agree with you. Chazak U'Baruch. To #27 you exaggerate and its not a matter of needing girls to fight and you know that well. But I am proud of this generation of youths, it will be they who will teach theyre parents as fortold for ketz hayamim and the geulah. Be well.
