31. REMOVE THE CHECKPOINTS THEY STOP TERRORIST ATTACKS.
MIKE HAMEN ,   usa   (06.27.07)
I SUPPORT PEACE NOW OR WAR NOW GROUP.
32. "According to "him"...

...Yariv Oppenheimer... Who in the heck empowered this self inflated "peace" expert? Just ignore these ridiculous, deadly busy bodies. You give them too much attention. They're SICK!
33. Who is Peace Now? Each & every tb is against this loathsome
Judy ,   MEDIA WATCH   (06.27.07)
group. So it seems that it's only YNet that supports them. Does this mean that you, YNet, are also part of this disgraceful group? Hopefully not. Stopping to give them so much air time will cause them to disintegrate.
34. I just don't read anything coming from the Lefties anymore
David H   (06.27.07)
There are things that are so wrong and so evil that they don't even deserve the right to call themselves a "point of view" on a legitimate journalistic medium.
35. Checkpoints save lives of Israelis and Israel's visitors!!!

That's rich getting facile lessons from LA, tho unlike you I'm prepared to be charitable and guess that perhaps you are an Israeli living abroad. I am one and I have spent a great deal of the last decade travelling back and forth across check points in both the W Bank. I'm also a former IDF serving officer in the W Bank itself. But that is hardly the point. I do not recall Americans shrugging off criticisms of their Vietnam policy or for that matter any other with the excuse that foreigners should keep out of it. Its a rather hoary old catch -all for not facing up to the truth. And I am well acquainted with both bereaved relatives and the disabled on both sides of this conflict. But that too is irrelevant. What is relevant is that the checkpoints are in their majority morally unjust and corrupting - not that suicide bombings are any less so, but there are other ways to stop all of this and it is not by choking the lives of innocent Palestinians and corroding the minds of young Israelis who carry out this miserbale duty. Where is your right to comment all the way from LA and what do you suggest is the way of ending this?
37. #3 Paul, Israel should just stop ALL Palestinians coming in.
Nannette ,   London   (06.28.07)
If there were no Palestinians in Israel, there would be no terrorism either. Just put a permanent block on all Palestinians entering Israel. Then there would be no need for checkpoints.
38. Lets do a deal with peace now
zionist forever   (06.28.07)
Israel removes the checkpoints and in return peace now pearents send their children to Israel .. if their children were in Israel would they still be demanding the checkpoints be removed if not then why should the be removed and putting Israeli children? These idiots dont live in the real world ..palestian happiness to them is more important than Israeli lives. Hamas are not the only ones who carry out terror attacks against Israel, Fatahs Al Aska brigades have not denounced violence their cause is still the same as the Hamas cause. They want to see the end of Israel, hundreds of Israelis have been murdered by them over the past 7 years. That idiot Olmert is planning to release 250 Fatah terrorists which means an extra 250 men running around with guns. Peace now, Olmert, Livni and the other far left fools are all a danger to Israel.
39. Peace now and bias
ROLAND ,   london   (06.28.07)
I am not aware of Peace Now Jewish Israeli Activists Going to the Main Square in Gaza to raise Arab support by appealing to the crow for the release of Cpl Shallit. Please inform me if they also have taken upon themselves issues which at first glance would not be tollerated if they adopted a similiar stance in the centre of cities in other Arab neighbouring countries with whome Israel wishes to live at peace with.

yariv will grow a brain and concience only when his family will be blown by terrorists he loves so much.

What would you do ? It's easy to say that we hurt innocent people , it's maybe true that our soldiers suffer from this . But give a safe alternative that prevents suicide bombers or other murderers to attack Israelis . If you have such a solution , possible to realise , safe in the same way as those check points , send it to the IDF , and then you can criticise Israel's policy regarding the checkpoints . If not , shut up
42. #30 when talking money, they don't CHECK their eyes or ears

43. 27 and 41
Paul Usiskin ,   London UK   (06.28.07)
You are not listening to the voices who do condemn and I think you know what it is I'm suggesting. What I can tell you is that in private the leading Right wing parties in Israel have been indivating for quite some time now that they realise that the settlelment enterprise is no longer tenable. I woiuld understand a reticence in handing over ther W bank to a fractured Palestinian Authority currently, but I see it coming soon enough and Thank God when it does. What I don't get apart from you telling me to shut up is what YOU suggest for a future political horizon for our young people, or are you one of those who has no vision and seeks to maintain the status quo & turn my mother's town into a 21st century Metzada?

So say it as you see it , do'nt turn around the pot , Say : Israel should leave all of Judea Samaria . That's your solution , No ? Well Barak wanted to give them 98 % of this territory , and their answer was : intifada . What do you suggest now ? We left Gaza , what's the result ? Let me also tell you that i'm not a right winger , far from this . I'm ready to give up those 98% , but if they do'nt want it ? Do you know what they want ? : the whole territory from Jordan river to the sea . Could you accept this ?
