1. What about the Human Rights Against The Settlers?
Lisa Cohen ,   Haifa   (09.12.06)
For Hashem's sake, you so called peace loving Israelis threw thousands of Jews out of their homes and beat them at Amona. You complain about their behavoir but how do you treat them?
2. You call that Mertez, right?
Steve ,   USA   (09.11.06)
B"H With everyone so excited about no presence east of the fence, this is the outcome. There is no occupation, to keep law and order! Pretty exciting, huh? Now I wonder how many violent incidents against Jews are prosecuted.... next to zero also. Time to understand the price of not fully occupying this territory with a civil administration, with full Jewish settlement instead of just a military presence. I am not saying the Jews are saints. However, I think this is more a problem with the law enforcement of "Hamas/Left wing partnership" over that territory than with individual crimes, be they Jew or Arab. I see Jewish settlment as the easiest way of improving the situation.

4. Nothing Surprising In This Headline
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.12.06)
The IDF targets the Palestinians for even verbal and physical abuse. Think they're going to do anything about assaults by settlers on the Palestinians? But you know how it is, they're not humans, just Arab rubbish, etc, etc ad neauseum.
5. #1 What about violation of
Norway   (09.12.06)
Jews and their property ??? Is there any Human Rights Org. researching Pal/arab violence against Jews and their property in Judea & Samaria? Who cares? It is only "settlers"... Shortcut to: Amona - violent - tragedy... http://israelreporter.com/index.php/category/amona-violent-tragedy-media/ A minority of the demonstrators were violent, throwing stones at the police, the majority were engaged in passive nonviolent resistance. The Chief of Israel’s police, Moshe Karadi, testified before a Knesset committee, - the police knew in advance that thousands of demonstrators would come. Police directives state that in order to evacuate demonstrators peacefully a numerical superiority of 4:1 is required. Had the police meant to respect the rights of the demonstrators, 15,000-20,000 policemen and soldiers should have been on hand. Instead, only 1,600 riot police, equipped with clubs and horses, were sent to evacuate the demonstrators. Several eyewitnesses who independently observed police preparations before the event on February 1 report hearing commanders give orders to their men, by megaphone: "Don’t talk to them, don’t say anything to them, just hit them in the head.” Police attacked the non-violent demonstrators, inflicting over 200 injuries, including many head injuries. In testimony before a Knesset investigative committee Israel’s Chief of Staff, Gen. Dan Halutz, who approved plans for the police action at Amona, said that a prime purpose of the action was not merely to enforce a court order but “deterrence,” that is, to teach the demonstrators a lesson so that they would not demonstrate again. He stated: that if he had to do it all over again, he would give exactly the same orders as before. At Amona, police acted on the orders of the highest ranks of Israel’s police and armed forces, who in turn acted on the orders of the government.

6. ARAB MK Bishara Called SEVERAL TIMES FOR INTIFADA
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (09.12.06)
against Israel's Jews. The ugly, racist, rabid Jew-hate of ethnically cleansing 10,000 Gaza and north Samaria Jews 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..."
7. Because most Palestinian accusation are bogus
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (09.12.06)
"Human Rights Watch," "B'Tselem" and "Yesh Gvul" should be fined for every bogus report and false accusation they turn in, for wasting police investigater's time in chasing phony claims.
8. typical leftist anti jewish propaganda

9. Settler Gangsters
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.12.06)
The settlers are an Israeli version of Cosa Nostra....these criminal elements have ongoing deals with the authorities, which apparently seem to serve the interests of both sides admirably
10. #9, What proof do you have to back up your ABSURD statement?
Jodie ,   Jerusalem   (09.12.06)
When you claim that ALL settlers are gangsters, give specific examples of just how many of them are criminals. Are you speaking of 1%, 5% etc? And how many gangster/criminals are there in your Arab/leftist community? 20%, 30%?? If you cannot back up your ridiculous claims, don't bother making them.
11. The real Criminals Are Those Who Demonize Zionists
Adina Kutnicki ,   US   (09.12.06)
In the world of the demented left, Jewish or otherwise, there is no bigger demon than the S E T T L E R. Earth to moonbats - the S E T T L E R S are the ones who are fulfilling the vision of reclaiming our Jewish homeland. Those on the leftcoast should pack their bags if they think that being a S E T T L E R in Israel is 'criminal'.
12. well said Adina
