2. What was a "barricade" doing there?
(08.30.06)
We Jews just want to be left alone, there was a provocation but ynet hasnt posted it. REMEMBER AMONA We will never give up our homes whether its Jews or goys
3. According to the soldiers - LOL
(08.30.06)
The police/IDF/Knesset can hold any Jew in jail without any charges and without any bail for an infinite amount of time. There is no freedom of speech nor is there any due proccesses. The government removes Jews out of them home forcibly with horses and clubs and doesnt give them anything in return. We will not go down without a fight, we are strong and we are united against this erev rav sicko "government. AM YISRAEL CHAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4. This is an unresolved issue.
Keren ,   Sao Paulo   (08.30.06)
These guys are Jews who are deeply revolted because they feel they were injustly uprooted and treated. And the actual government don't inspire any confidence nor trust that they( government) have been right in their actions. Somehow,Israel will need to reach a point of agreement and satisfaction among all its citizens,and this point has not been reached yet. But I can understand their revolt.I would feel the same.
5. War is over, demonization resumes
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (08.30.06)
The settlers shot 4,000 rockets into the North, kidnapped IDF soldiers, staged fake scenes for the media... Oh wait...
6. Israeli soldiers are to protect Jews- not to stop them
Former Paratrooper ,   101 Israel   (08.30.06)
When I was a soldier not long ago, we knew our mission; to protect Jews- not to prevent them from traveling where they want to in the land of Israel. It's a disgrace that this soldier acted as he did- not only stopping these Jews from visiting Sa-Nur (the most beautiful part of Israel), but even shooting in the air. He should be court-martialed.
7. settlers are realizing their end is near
Yisraeli ,   TA IL   (08.30.06)
they're like wounded animals
8. JEWISH HEROES should receive award
DAVID JACOBS ,   HASMONAIM   (08.30.06)
The Jews are going to return to Gush Katif and the Northern Shomron with or without the support of the government of Israel. With Love of Israel David Jacobs
9. What about vice versa'?
Matthias Roth ,   Switzerland   (08.30.06)
Any attempt to hurt soldiers is severe. But what about the cases where settlers were beaten by the Police and soldiers?
10. #6
Ron ,   Los Angeles   (08.30.06)
If it was an Arab they would have shot him/her...not the air! The soldier did the right thing!
11. OK... David Jacobs..... Keep Dreaming!
USA   (08.30.06)
12. Yeah, yeah
Johnny ,   Canada   (08.30.06)
If they were Arabs they would be dead... Jewish settlers are forced out of their homes and it's a crime...Palestinians are forced out of their homes and it's because they are terrorists...whatever...
13. Shoot the SOB
Dan Hirsh ,   Los Angeles, CA   (08.30.06)
I would shoot the first SOB that touches me! And then worry about legal presentation. It is another way the clueless Government betrays and abandons the Israeli soldiers all around. I can see why the brightest refuse to take part in that thoughtless masquerade where politicians always get away and the poor schnooks are hung to dry
14. They Shouldn't take it out on the soldiers
Spoon ,   Ashdod Israel   (08.30.06)
they dont make the laws they just enforce them, they have been put in a position where if they dont follow orders they're stuffed and if they do the people hate them its not right
15. # 6 is RIGHT ON!
Mark bellm ,   USA   (08.30.06)
paratrooper says it all, Let the young men visit where they grew up, what's the big deal?
16. HE WAS FRIENDLY BEATEN.LOL
(08.30.06)
17. Who Died & Made This 'Edict' the Law?
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (08.30.06)
Hogwash. If the police/IDF decide that Jerusalem is offlimits to Jews, will they listen? Some orders are begging to be defied. The fact that the Sharon regime decided to give away Jewish communities does not make it a 'holy' decree. I salute these 'lawbreakers'.
18. Common Israeli and Lebanese Policy?
Steve ,   USA   (08.30.06)
B"H See http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=111126 Lebanon, even after a war that Olmert sees as a victory in many respects, still entertains a hostile position toward Jews living east of Olmert's fence. It is taking the position that even Hamas cannot take, in the "negotiations" of trying to defeat Israel and wipe it off the map. It sets outrageous demands of evacuation and leaves temporary peace in its wake only after a missile barrage from Hizbullah, the Iranian supported military organization. The only question is how this is different than Israeli government policy towards Jews who wish to return to these areas. For some strange reason, it appears that the Israeli government is oppressing the very people that are most strongly trying to support it. Quote: Lebanon: No Peace Agreement With Israel 21:50 Aug 30, '06 / 6 Elul 5766 (IsraelNN.com) Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora on Wednesday announced his country will be the last to sign a peace agreement with Israel, adding he will not enter into any talks or have direct contact with Israeli leaders. Siniora stated that until such time Israel adheres to the Arab agenda, namely a withdrawal to pre-June 1967 borders and the establishment of a Palestinian state with eastern Jerusalem as its capital, there is no hope of peace with Israel. The Lebanese leader also mentioned the need for Israel to recognize so-called Palestinian refugees, demanding they be granted the right of return.
19. To # 7-tel aviv loudmouth
Yossel ben Yehuda ,   galut   (08.30.06)
The settlers have always been and will always be the only chance Israel has got. Either you live in Israel according to the word of G-d or you get tossed out like our predecessors. A Jew who evicts his brother in the land will himself be evicted and worse. The yuppie dreamers in tel aviv who would like to turn Israel into their vision of america or europe should switch places with those of us in galut who would never take for granted that which you so easily toss aside.
20. TERRORISTS!!
Michael Steiner   (08.30.06)
Why were these terrorists not shot in the same manner in which non-Jewish Palestinians are dealt with??
21. Deflecting attacks on Olmert-Peretz
Itzik ,   Haifa   (08.30.06)
Nothing happened. No soldier was "attacked". This is just another attempt by Kadima to save Olmert. This is not the first time they call Jews from Judea, Samaria and Gaza "worse than Hizbullah".
22. I haven't seen any Ynet article
journalist   (08.30.06)
presenting the tens and hundreds of soldiers beating Gk and Amona evacuees yet. A couple of days ago israel media complained how biased int'l media was during Lebannon war II. LOL. We don't have a shortage of antisemites from within
23. Judea/Samaria Jews often FALSELY ACCUSED of assault
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.30.06)
of police/IDF. In reality, it is generally the Jewish citizens who have actually been assaulted! In order for Israeli leaders to ruthlessly ethnically cleanse Jews from Judea and Samaria it is first necessary to demonize these Jewish citizens so that the public will accept the ethnic cleansing of their demonized Jewish brothers and sisters. Arab Muslims play an important part in the demonization process. Every year, the Arabs prune their trees, then accuse the Judea/Samaria Jews of cutting down their trees. The false accusation is then given wide publicity. The media war against Jews NEVER stops.
24. #6 You are a PATRIOT for Israel and the Free World
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.31.06)
Non-Muslims MUST have freedom and human rights !!! Jews must have freedom and human rights in the Biblical heartland! Appeasement and surrender was unthinkable to Winston Churchill, England's prime minister during the Second World War. Churchill said: We will fight in the hills, we will fight in the streets, but we will never surrender. Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.
25. I hope they succeed in resettling
Steven ,   San Francisco   (08.31.06)
those places that they were thrown out of.
26. #25 Palestinians or Israelis?
Al ,   Salt Lake City   (08.31.06)
27. #24 Get a life!!!
Schmuck ,   NY, USA   (08.31.06)
Linda, If the arabs said the same thing you would label them terrorists. The soldier was just doing his duty by making sure people do not cross the barricade. Which by the way is an occupied territory, which makes Israel both an occupier and a colonizer!!! So get a life and don't stir t
28. Linda Rivera - Grifter For Jesus

Linda, how is business going at the Ministry of Healing?
29. Kadima trying to draw attention away from their war mistakes

time to turn the situation against the settlers again and start talking about "conversion."
