How about The Galilee Liberation Group to which the killer was a member? He lives a pregnant wife and children, will they go on welfare from Israeli government? No such news in Ynet, eh?

For the second time in 12 months, Israeli Arab MK Jamal Zahalka has declared his support for the position of enemy Arab nations claiming that Israel has no right to be in Jerusalem. Zahalka was one of approximately 1,000 Israeli Arabs to participate in the funeral of the terrorist who was killed in Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday. The Arab MK referred to the Old City as “occupied” and to its Jewish occupants as “right-wing settlers.” He criticized police for believing the Jewish security guards who fought the terrorist, and dismissed video evidence of the attack as unreliable. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/123351

Defense Minister Ehud Barak will not order the distribution of gas masks, despite intelligence reports that Syria has built up an arsenal of missiles that can carry biological and chemical warheads, Army Radio reported on Monday. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1186557433993&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull In the face of this leadership, Israeli people can be asured of disaster.

The writer purposly forgot to mention that more than 50% of the residents of this town are under poverty level and it has high unemployment rate. These are two breading grounds for criminal activity and radial behavior. The writer is the only one who thinks Manda is under occupation, its own residents don't think that. More inverstment in creating jobs and education are needed for this town to reduce unemployment and prevent the spread of radical believes. The enemy within is only within the head of the Uri Ariel

growth.. they will bever accept your return home - and they are onky going to close in in order to survive - israel must expand expand expand

If the residents of Manda are so unhappy in Israel, let them all relocate to Gaza.

In 1989, a friend and I were hiking across the Galil and we ended up in Kfar Manda along the way. Being thirsty and wanting a break, we went into a place to buy some Kinley. It was like a scene out of a western. Everyone there stopped what they were doing, stopped talking, and stared at us as we went up to the counter to order. You could cut the hatred with a knife even then.

Many Israeli Arabs except for the Druse are a 5th column ready to explode.

Salah belongs in prison for a very long time and the Islamic movement must be made illegal and its activists hunted down.

What the HELL!

Rami, you are obviously an immoral capitalist. If you think that poverty justifies murder than that is really sick and twisted. Like most left wing sickos, you think that being poor bestows the moral high ground. Wrong. Palestinians are poor because of their leaders, not because of settlers. West Bank arabs live better than their cousins in Jordan..... and better than their cousins in Tel Aviv. Murder is murder. Stealing is a lesser crime. If the man was hungry and stole I could understand. If he was poor and decided to murder what is the justification? Rami, get your morals checked out. You scare me.

I hope we are not alone

you better read his post again, without such strong bias...

Israeli minorities (and I'm not singling out Muslim Arabs living in Israel) have to make a choice: living as loyal citizens in the Jewish State or if they hate it so much - like apparently the guy from Manda did - leave for Gaza/West Bank or beyond and be happy away from Jews.

You are a good person, I have told you this before, but you are confused. I live very close to you and I know a lot of people in Nazareth. Rami you should have learnt by now, if not you are naive. Your "brothers" the Moslems will come after you once they have finished the Jews, that is what is in their head. That lovely church you have in Nazareth wil be replaced by a mosque. You will be eliminated. I agree 100% with the writer. "Manda should be somewhere else right now". In fact it should not be at all.

Are they tring for a repeat performance of 1948? Time will tell.

when i saw the headline" the enemy within"i was sure you were writing about our esteemed prime,foreign and defence ministers,siting in the knesset. as much as the israeli arabs are a threat to the country,it pales in comparasen to the threat from our own prime minister,who if will not be stopped will single handedly destroy this beautifull country

c'mon, you really expect suggestions from the israeli right? all they know to do is to sell fear. Look at the title the enemy within... what are the reasons for this enemy? What can we do to solve the issue wthout tearing the Independence Declaration apart?? This party calls itself National Union. I would prefer calling them the Orthodox Union 'cause the nation I love was created by other people, it was created by people that believed on: " WE APPEAL - in the very midst of the onslaught launched against us now for months - to the Arab inhabitants of the State of Israel to preserve peace and participate in the upbuilding of the State on the basis of full and equal citizenship and due representation in all its provisional and permanent institutions. WE EXTEND our hand to all neighboring states and their peoples in an offer of peace and good neighborliness, and appeal to them to establish bonds of cooperation and mutual help with the sovereign Jewish people settled in its own land. The State of Israel is prepared to do its share in a common effort for the advancement of the entire Middle East."

In order to make this choice they first have to change their ideology. If they were to leave Israel now because they do not wish to be loyal citizens then they have lost the fight. What is the fight you ask ? To liberate "Palestine" from Lebanon to Gaza and from the sea to the river and beyond. They do not wish to be equal citizens, they wish to be the only citizens. I have tried to explain this to Rami, he does not get it. No synagogues, no churches, no Jews, no Christians, no Israel, just Palestine, just Islam. That is why they can not leave, it would be failure.

Igal Amir came from Herzlia, and no one tried to generalize over all city population. But when some arab guy carries out a terror attack the whole town is being accused. This is sick ! The aim of this article is clearly to incite, the villages in the Galilee are begging to have a police station, in Taybeh they even organized a whole demonstration hoping police will finally recognize the town and save them from criminals, but no one cares. There is no state over there except cases of natonal security.

Let me be clear, I'm not trying ot justify the actions of this terrorist or others like him. As a matter of fact and condemn such behaviour. All i was trying to say is that you can't generalize, and use this act to incide against the WHOLE population. When jewish terrorist Zada assasinated 4 innocent civians riding a bus, i did not brand all jews as terrorist.

is not in Galilee and it has been a bandit's nest for as long as I can remember, and that is a long time. No police station or force would be able to rectify this situation, they would all be bought off within no time. A radical solution is necessary, military rule or mass convictions and long jail sentences.

the bag prepared In Advance for his body carried the name "terrorist". Entebbe was also a "terror" affair prepared in advance to blow up Palestinian-American approach.

during last summer Lebanon war. Arabs killed are Shahids. You'd better not adress the shaid question, that belongs to Allah (the God) to judge. The question is what mad them believe they would be Shahid.

roll out the red carpet for a couple of arabs strolling through Karnei Shomron with backpacks. I am sure you would fall all over yourselves to bring them cold Kinleys. I'm no fan of Kfar Manda or this scumbag, but your anecdote proves nothing, other than two Jews were stared at in an arab village in 1989.

then the guard has been right to use gun, 18 years later, for something a bit less than staring.

The phrase "you could cut it with a knife" means that it was thick - so thick that it was like a solid which can be cut like a knife. It is like the difference between melted butter and butter that has cooled and solidified so that it can be cut with a knife. The writer only meant to say that the hatred was so thick and palpable that you could cut it with a knife. It was almost visible it was so stark and real.

It is a graet title for the real enemies within. They are the Supreme Court, Peace Now, Betselem and Amnesty International. All these instituitions give peace and comfort to our mortal enemies and aided and abetted thefervor of terrorism

The good news is that it is one less Arab terrorist. The bad news is that Israel in it's weakness does nothing so it will get worse
