1. Israeli Justice
Arab ,   somewhere   (08.27.06)
I strongly belive in Israeli Justice even though there is a history of rivalery between the two ethnicities. I am sure this problem will be resolved.
2. humiliation and mockery of Arabs
be real ,   freedom of press   (08.27.06)
This investigation maybe would be authorized if it is applied equally across the entire spectrum of the Israeli Press. Having seen and read the articles being printed in the Arabs newspapers their venom and incitement against Israel and Jews pale in comparison to what was written about the Arab ideology. Stop pandering to all the demands emanating from Israeli Citizens who are Arabs. Just look at the current strained relations in Haifa between the Jews and Arabs it never was as bad as it is now.
3. racist article
ronen   (08.27.06)
This article is disgusting, but I cant argue with the facts
4. 1 I dont think one should talk like that.
freedom ,   canada   (08.27.06)
But, If Adalah, is really serious about being respected. Then they must as well sue the president of Iran, even if the suit is done in absentia. Until then, Adalah to me has no relevance.
5. AND WHO IS SAYING " KILL JEW GO TO HEAVEN " ???? !!!!!!
AVINU   (08.27.06)
THAT IS OK ????? WHO IS CALLING TO KILL JEWS ?? !!!!!!!!!! BEN - ZVI IS RIGHT !!!!!!!!!
6. the nazis accuse a Jew of racism
Jorge Banner ,   Bs.As.,Argentina   (08.27.06)
It does try one’s patience to see nazis accusing a Jew of racism. And it will be a sad day on the Earth if ANY court takes this crap seriously.
7. racist remark
jj ,   montreal canada   (08.27.06)
Why is this more racist than moslems refering to Jews as apes and pigs, or refering to the lies in the protocols of zion, or wanting to wipe Israel of the map, or holding a contest for cartoons about the holocaust? Why were they not indicted for hate speach?
8. Adalah should talk!!!
Sumayah ,   NY   (08.27.06)
What we are exposed on TV the Muslim Terrorists and what they do - and dont hesitate to do is beyond savages. They are showing forth the violence for which they have been raised. The Islamists are brainwashed zombies. They know only one thing and that is the language of violence. This is not making Islam any stronger, on the contrary many intellectuals born and raised as Muslims are seeing Islam for what it is and are leaving it in troops. Many of us are ashamed of what our brethren do. We do not buy the lies that the non-Muslims hate us. We do not believe that we are a superior people for our belief in Allah. We see the humanity as one extended family. We see Islam a cause of disunity and hate. And we are coming together, we are forming a mighty force to combat Islam and liberate our people and our loved ones from the claws of this fiend of hate.
9. Interesting Article
USA   (08.27.06)
It is quite interesting that the Arabs read Jewish newspapers?? Why is that?? Why are the Arabs so upset when Ben-Zvi wrote the truth??
10. OY!
ilana   (08.27.06)
And what exactly is incorrect about the comments?
11. I thought Moses was an Arab.
Nabil ,   Riyadh, Najed   (08.27.06)
Was Moses an Arab?Because accordung to the Torah he realy fits on most of thess describtions.
12. monkeys and apes
the rest of us ,   pennsylvania, usa   (08.27.06)
and the little text books that shape childrens minds all over the arabian peninsula teach that jews come from monkeys and apes and when children memorize this, they are given candy and told how cute they are. if you comb the editorials and cartoons all over the middle east throughout the year, you will find the most vile things stated about jews and israel. so please take it somewhere else.
13. Arabs don't like their own tactics used on them
Moshe ,   Jerusalem   (08.27.06)
Arab and other Moslems have been preaching and printing the most vile, prejudiced anti-Jewish garbage imaginable. They just don't like their own tactics used on them. What goes around comes around.
14. Racism and reality
Sagi   (08.27.06)
I am not only not Haredi but totally opposed to religion in all its manifestations. I am as far from being a racist as is humanly possible, I am a great lover of other cultures. What the man said is pure reality, fact which has been proven time and time again since the inception of the relgion by the prophet who indeed was false as are all prophets. The day mankind wakes up and admits the fact that we are all one and the same thing and nobody ever spoke to any heavenly entity or received any special message from that entity is the day that mankind will finally start to mature.
15. So what?
Bechor   (08.27.06)
We all know that there are extremists on both sides, so what? The difference is that the arab extremists who think that way are far more common.
16. Sometimes the truth hurts
Mikael ,   New Zealand   (08.27.06)
17. savages?
Huck Finn ,   Hannibal, USA   (08.27.06)
One's ethnic group does not automatically make one a savage. I wish I could say the same regarding a person's religion. There are, to be sure, very decent Muslims. However, their decency is inversely proportional to the square of their degree of belief in Islam.
18. Donkeys
Charles ,   Battle Creek USA   (08.27.06)
This is pretty mild stuff compared to what is oozing out of the mouths of Arab MK's. One person's racist comment is another person's succinct commentary.
19. The Ayrabs
vour ,   US   (08.27.06)
Exsqueeze me, but which part of the article is untrue?
20. How about the Protocols?
Eli Reuven ,   Newton USA   (08.27.06)
21. How about the Protocols?
Eli Reuven ,   Newton USA   (08.27.06)
Broad-brush complaints about groups are rarely a good idea. In spite of the hatred and venom spewed by the Arab and Muslim world against Jews, there remain Arabs and Muslims interested in good relations with us. However, any investigation into this book should also look into the popularity in the Arab and Muslim world of the Czarist forgery, The Protocols. Perhaps any seller of this book should also be investigated for racist incitement.
22. How many Jews have Arabs killed?
Khalid   (08.26.06)
How many Jews have the Nazis killed? How many Arabs have Jews killed? Enough said. Grow up.
23. Stings, doesn't it?
Ste[phen ,   Raleigh   (08.27.06)
Let's hear it 3 million times in the press and then we'll it even.
24. well...
Harissa ,   Argentina   (08.27.06)
Yes is very direct indeed. You cannot put all the cats in the same bag. But how about the kind of insults we had to stand from the israelis arabs even those in the Parliament when they were on favour of Hizbollah, when we have to stand, this sort of thing from people that is israeli, that don`t pay as many taxes as the israeli jewish, don`t go to war and still have the toupe of taking the position of an enemy in their own country...and don`t understand that they are israeli muslims and not israeli arabs. Well does not seem very bright to me...and defenetely makes me think of the tantric theory of devolution...For the arab nation used to be one of the brightest ever on earth...and like the romans...vanished.
25. INVESTIGATE ARAB MK BisharaCalled SEVERAL TIMES FOR INTIFADA
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.27.06)
against Israel. Investigate the hate for Judaism and racist, rabid Jew-hate of ethnically cleansing 10,000 Gaza and north Samaria Jews which violated Article 80 of the United Nations Charter, broke Israel's Basic Human Rights Law and Clause 9 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Patriotic Jews, including children, are brutally beaten and jailed. Jewish taxpayers who pay Arab MK Bishara's salary are FORCED to FINANCE TREASON! Arab Israeli MKs who are openly genocidal to Jews and support the violent overthrow of Israel are members of Israel's government! No other nation on earth allows such treason. Will Jews revolt against their forced financing of treason and Arab MK hate incitement to a second holocaust of Jews? From article on the violent Arab Muslim Israeli riots in 2000 'Let's investigate everything' by Yaron London, 10/2/05 http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3150205,00.html The report offers a history of Arab demonstrations and protests that over time have become evermore extreme. The report also mentions several individuals that contributed, through words and through silence, to the progression from legitimate protest into a violent, destructive riot. Leaders of the Islamic Movement, wrote the Or Commission, fanned the flames by accusing Israel of planning to destroy the Islamic holy sites on the Temple Mount, and openly sympathizing with Hizbullah and al-Qaeda. MK Azmi Bishara (National Democratic Assembly) has said the Shiite militia should be a role model for the struggle with Israel, and has called several times for an intifada against Israel. Arab-Israeli leaders should be investigated The Or Commission- including one Arab justice and another member considered an important expert in Arab culture - rejected Bishara's evasive comments, and had this to say about the part Israeli Arab leaders played in the October, 2000 riots: Individuals such as the leaders of the Supreme Israeli Arab Monitoring Committee, the Islamic Movement, and Knesset Members Tibi, Bishara, Dehamshe and Zahalka were full partners to the outbreak of riots in October, 2000, and therefore also bear responsibility for the deaths of 13 of their brethren." The following is part of an article from jerusalempost.com, Sept. 25 2005 'Column One: Israel's disengaged establishment' by Caroline Glick: "...recall what happened five years ago. Following months of increased violence and extremism in the Arab-Israeli sector incited directly by the Palestinian Authority, the Israeli Islamic Movement and the Arab members of Knesset, violent riots seized the Arab sector of Israel in October 2000. During the week of riots, Arab Israelis threw rocks and Molotov cocktails at Israeli civilian cars throughout the country. Israeli motorists were dragged out of their cars on Highway 65 along Wadi Ara and beaten. An Israeli motorist was murdered when Arabs from Jasser a-Zarka threw a rock at his windshield as he drove down the coastal highway..."
26. Please Investigate!ARAB MK: 'I ADVISED PA TO KIDNAP SOLDIER'
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.27.06)
Treason and maliciously endangering IDF soldiers' lives by Arab MKs is allowed in Israel whilst patriotic Jews are punished and jailed and regarded as ENEMIES OF THE STATE. Please investigate! It is urgent that demonstrations are held outside the Knesset and outside Israeli consulates world-wide to protest that Arab MKs are allowed to commit treason - collude with the enemy - repeatedly call for intifada against Israel - and encourage global jihadist religious supremacists to kidnap IDF soldiers. And to protest the persecution and politically-motivated, unjust jailing of Jewish patriots. israelnationalnews.com Arab MK: 'I Advised PA to Kidnap Soldier' Jul 09, '06 / 13 Tammuz 5766 by Hillel Fendel Knesset Member Wasal Taha, corresponding publicly with internet surfers on the Arabic-language IslamOnline site, said he repeatedly advised PA terrorists to battle and kidnap Israeli soldiers. According to a report in Maariv newspaper on Sunday, Taha told surfers on Thursday that he repeatedly advised the PA Arabs to stop shooting and targeting civilians, and to concentrate on IDF targets... http://www.israelnn.com/news.php3?id=106857
27. Please Investigate - ARABS ALLOWED to BREAK LAWS ENDANGER
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.27.06)
Israel. THE SELF DESTRUCT DOUBLE STANDARD by Yoram Ettinger, January 20, 2006 Illegal Arab construction has become a norm, led by the Palestinian Authority (many PA officials reside in illegal homes), bankrolled by Saudi petrodollars and observed by the wide-closed eyes of Israel. Illegal construction has become an effective means to challenge Jewish sovereignty over Jerusalem, to undermine major infrastructure and housing projects in the Negev and Galilee, to limit the freedom/security of Jewish movement along major transportation arteries, to facilitate terrorism and to exacerbate crime. Over 1,000 illegal houses are built annually – by Jerusalem Arabs – since 1997. Only 30-40 are demolished by the authorities. About 10,000 illegal houses are built, annually, by "Green Line" Arabs in the Galilee, Negev, "Triangle", Lod and Ramleh. About 100 are demolished. Since 1967, there has been more Arab residential (largely illegal) construction in Jerusalem than Jewish construction in the capital of the Jewish State. But, Israel is enforcing the law in an iron-fist manner when it comes to a few scores of Jewish houses throughout Judea & Samaria and Hebron (built on a Jewish-registered property, which was ravaged by Arabs in 1929). Legal and governance impotence have characterized Israel's battle against illegal Arab construction, which threatens Israel's sovereignty and the rule of law in Jerusalem and all over the country. Palestinian documents, found at the PLO's "Orient House", highlight illegal construction as a key instrument in the campaign to erode the Jewish character of Jerusalem. According to the documents, the Palestinian Authority (PA) has enticed illegal construction in Jerusalem's Arab neighborhoods of Shoafat, Beit Haninah and A-Zaim, in order to prevent continuity between the Jewish neighborhoods of French Hill and Pisgat Ze'ev, and to avert the unification of Jerusalem and Ma'aleh Adoumim. Illegal construction is raging along Highway 443, the critical road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, with the aim to transform it into an Arab road, threatening the security of Jewish transportation. While a 1999 Palestinian document anticipated that Israel was determined "to demolish 400-500 illegal houses in Beit Haninah and Shoafat", a 2000 document notified the PA that "no need to worry", since Israel would only demolish a few houses, and illegal construction could proceed with full speed ahead. For instance, illegal construction in the Jerusalem Arab neighborhood of Silwan has been a platform for intensified terrorism and felony. Forging real estate titles has proliferated in the Arab sector, robbing state-owned land as well as privately owned Arab land, fueling extortion, protection, gang-wars and the importation of illegal Arab residents from Hebron and other towns to Jerusalem – a fertile ground for terrorism.
28. No different from what Sheiks say about Jews
(08.27.06)
29. Come... we'll laugh together - Jew & Arab
Levity ,   USA   (08.27.06)
Hello everyone, Sometimes laughing is the best medicine there is....... Two Arabs boarded a shuttle out of Washington for New York. One sat in the window seat, the other in the middle seat. Just before take-off a Jewish guy got on and took the aisle seat next to the Arabs. He kicked off his shoes, wiggled his toes and was settling in when the Arab in the window seat said, "I think I'll go up and get a coke." "Don't worry about it," said the Jew. "I'll get it for you." While he is gone the Arab picks up the Jew's shoe and spits in it. The Jew brought back the coke, when the other Arab said, "That looks good. Think I'll have one too." Again, the Jew obligingly goes to fetch it, and while he is gone the Arab picks up the other shoe and spits in it. The Jew returns with the coke, and they all sit back and enjoy the short flight. When the plane was landing the Jew slipped his feet into his shoes and knew immediately what had happened. "How long must this go on?" he asked. "This enmity between our peoples...this hatred... this spitting in shoes...and blowing noses in Cokes?"
