1. No surprise ....
Secular Sabra ,   Israel   (01.11.07)
Amos Oz, Israel’s most celebrated writer, refers to his country’s extremists as “Hezbollah in a skullcap.” He says that Rabin’s death made him realize that “the real battle in the Middle East is no longer between Arabs and Jews but between fanatics of both faiths and the rest of the people in the Middle East who want to find some reasonable compromise.”
2. Scapegoat
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.11.07)
Too late, YNet, you have already turned her into an international scapegoat, for no other reason than to push the articles of Olmert's crimes off the front page.
3. Why Aren't the Police After the TEL-AVIV SETTLERS WhoCursed?
Eli ,   Israel   (01.11.07)
4. Since When is Cursing a Crime in the G-dless Israel?
David ,   Jerusalem   (01.11.07)
5. Disgrace to our mother Sarah
bentham ,   singapore   (01.11.07)
She is not a daughter of Yisrael ! By now she should have been in the court of law, bring a complain to the DPP or the majistrate.These kind of bickering woman is no good for peace anywhere, in Israel or outside Israel.Shame !
6. To the Police: For your good, stay away from
David ,   Jerusalem   (01.11.07)
that woman. She knows how to curse...
7. Very disturbing to watch
John ,   Toledo   (01.11.07)
What a sick women. She must have some kind of mental disorder.
8. Busy, busy, busy settlers
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.11.07)
Each settler is assigned 266 Palestinians to personally oppress and harrass. Very busy these settlers!
9. B"Tselem is scapegoating all the settlers
Margaret   (01.11.07)
A so called "human rights" group is actually promoting racism and hatred of their own people when they make assenine remarks like this" As serious as this incident may be it is only the tip of the iceberg of the daily violence Hebron settlers subject their Palestinian neighbors to on a daily basis under the army's auspices. Of course,I suppose the Arabs daily throwing rocks and firebombs, at Jewish cars,and buses ,isn't harrassment at all,only recently a Jewish infant was wounded when her familie's car was stoned in the area. But I suppose the violence,hatred,is all onesided and it's all the Jew's fault. Next time there is a terror act in Hebron or elsewhere in the West Bank against the Jewish people, where Jewish people are killed or injured.The antisemites will only need point to this video and say look at those awful old settlers they got just what they deserved, and I will hold B"Tselem personally responsible too.
10. #7 even more disturbing to watch
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.11.07)
Hamas, Fatah and Islamic jihad videos of goose-stepping, Hitler-saluting "jihadi" youths, with their songs, chants and jingles about murdering all the Jews. Oh yeah, and Americans too. http://www.memritv.org
11. Two Updated with same video photos
bentham ,   singapore   (01.11.07)
Saw two write up on : SETTLE VIOLENCE One by Ali Waked published 01-10-07 22:47 Second by Efrat Welis 01-11-07 16:27 both Israeli and Fakes deserve each other, uncivilized creatures, the woman is the cause of all the problems in this world.No wonder Adam fell and it all started with the woman. LOL :) no woman no cry no woman no cry No woman no cry No woman no cry Bob M is right ! good luck with the neighbourhood, and they talk about fence and boarders ( temporary or permanent) it would even collapse when we have woman on both side for settlers :) These woman really know how to curse and bring upon curse.Seems like Pharohs emissaries, even balam and his donkey would run away ! bentham singapore
12. What about the arab spitting at her?
freejay ,   Israel   (01.11.07)
Did the police also summon the arab that spat at the jewish womans face????? It is clearly shown in the first video. This should be considered a physical assault, which in my opinion is alot worse than verbal.
13. John; I agree woth your description of the Arab woman.
Daisy ,   USA   (01.11.07)
She definately is crazy.
14. Arabs are the real settlers! Stop using Plo propagnada
Daisy ,   USA   (01.11.07)
What the heck is wrong with Ynet?
15. #8-u r bad bad bad at math-its actually
mootzi ,   settlement of tlv   (01.11.07)
about 941 palis to opress and harass per settler. There are about 80,000 arabs in Hebron and about 85(no-u see it well-no zeros)Jewish settlers... so they r much busier than yo count.. those bad bad, opressive ,power hungry, land grabbing, wisper swearing settlers.. ALL 85 IF THEM!!!LOLOLOLO
16. There was name calling but no violence
Steve ,   USA   (01.11.07)
B"H These reports suggest a violence I did not see in the footage. There was a verbal fight, and there was hysteria. But I did not see violence. I think we are going a few steps beyond what is actually documented and that bothers me considerably. It is respectful to provide proof, but disrespectful to misinterpret that proof with unsubstantiated accusations which are also very bad for peace in the area.
17. Re #1: Those who want a celephate versus democracy
Steve ,   USA   (01.11.07)
B"H Secular Saba, I think your quote is close. One branch supports a celephate and the other branch supports a democracy. The military is a celephate-like government, and the civilian branch is more democratic. In these films is shown a celephate system of government, more moderate than what Hamas has to offer. No one was physically injured though, versus Hamas where Jews and Arabs are physically injured on a regular basis.
18. So what?
Eli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.11.07)
Why is it news when a jewish woman is swearing and it is not news half of the Arabs are swearing to Jews everyday.
19. Amir Peretz
Eli ,   Tel Aviv   (01.11.07)
It is unbelievable that a minister of defense apologizes for some woman who swore to another woman, which is shouting and haressing the former one. The clip is also editted and cut subjectively. Is Amir Peretz so afraid from the Arab sector, as there is no logic to apologize for that.
20. What about swearing on talkbacks?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (01.11.07)
I'm f***ed.
21. Still amazed Arab woman's hebrew is fluent
Steve ,   USA   (01.11.07)
B"H It is utterly amazing that the lady who was involved in a verbal fight is speaking fluent Hebrew. It seems in the footage we see the tail end of a verbal fight. I have no idea what happened at the beginning of the verbal fight. And the swear words are not very nice. But a context I could envision is if one of my children were threatened by a neighbor with physical violence, then a mother would defend her children. I am not saying this is the case here, but I do not have the full context from the footage and that is where careful probing could bring out a fuller picture of what is going on. It takes two to tango, though, so the big picture is important to fully understand this incident. But I am amazed that the Arab lady speaks very fluent Hebrew. She is closer to Hebron than I am, and some how the Arabs are considered by some as enemies! It seems the Jews treat their enemies better than some people on television here treat their friends. Moreover, the Jewish lady yells at her to go back into her house. I am not sure what the beginning of the verbal exchange is, but it seems that she did not want the woman outside and I am not sure what she was doing outside to raise such a storm. In any case, her situation is difficult. But I think it is much better than Gaza, and I have a feeling that her boy is going to be raised in good health as they bear through it. There has been no violence against her children in either video. The Middle East is not as politically correct as the Western world is portrayed. Verbal exchanges happen there just like in any major city in the United States, or many of the more popular talk shows. I am surprised the two women do not start a soap opera to make a lot of parnassa for their families.
22. Where are the Videos of MUSLIM HUMAN BOMB KILLER ATTACKS ???
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.11.07)
Muslim daily rocket attacks and crimes against humanity against Jewish innocents are NOT punished. These evil, barbaric acts are rewarded with Jewish land and assets.
23. to # 22 Linda Rivera , New York
Ali ,   Pakistan   (01.11.07)
You think Israeli are innocent please go and live in Palestine, you will feel it. You don’t know how much Palestine is suffering? Israeli kills your children right in front of your eyes? IMAGINE THAT!!!! palestines rocket is nothing comapre to Isralies rockets.......wake up baby
24. More Harrasament and Child Abuse
E. Laban ,   G   (01.12.07)
It is evident in this video http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news /1423506/posts
25. Islamics in Hebron BOOBY TRAP TEDDY BEAR for JEWISH Child
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (01.12.07)
The values and ethics of PA society are the complete opposite of the values and ethics of Western civilization. PA Muslims pass out candy and celebrate in the streets by the thousands when Jewish innocents are murdered by Muslim human bomb killers. The Palestinian Authority hailed as heroes the terrorists who brutally murdered defenseless 8 months pregnant Jewish Gaza mother, Tali Hatuel, and four little daughters in Gush Katif in May 2004. And in the Jewish holy city of Hebron: From: The Jerusalem Post, Nov 16, 2005 'The case for Mitzpe Shalhevet' by David Wilder "...The market was finally shut down following an attempted terrorist attack: Arabs placed a booby-trapped teddy bear in a plastic bag in the market near the entrance to the Jewish neighborhood, hoping a Jewish child, finding it, would play with it and be killed in the ensuing explosion... On March 26, 2001, at the beginning of the Oslo War an Arab sniper shot and killed 10-month-old Shalhevet Pass...

debbie ,   LA   (01.16.07)
Unfortunately Pakistan is not where you will find any sort of "truth" so it is impossible to tell you about the reality.I also lived in NY and met Saudis and Pakistanis who were so ignorant and uneducated,that it was impossible to have any meaningful dialogue.Their reality of what "Jewish" meant was far beyond this world...
28. to #27
Ali ,   Pakistan   (01.28.07)
