1. Wait Just a Minute!
Marya ,   sacramento,USA   (09.11.07)
I don't remember you criticizing the Leftist soldiers who were refuseniks. Your bias against the Right is palpable and stinks to high heaven. What a BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!! Who can take this site seriously?
2. The beginning of the end
worried Israeli ,   Israel   (09.11.07)
if this goes on with out severe punishment to all those that took part, it is the end of Israel. the settlers are leading us all to a civil war, and in their actions they are founding tha state of Palestine on the ruines of Israel.
3. These men did the honorable thing. They are an example
Canadian Otter   (09.11.07)
for all other Jews in the IDF to follow. Maybe the IDF will have to rely on non-Jewish soldiers to do their dirty work. Judging by the news this week, they should find plenty of volunteers in Israel who will gladly expel and beat up Jews.
4. Right, as in morally and legally correct
Kerwood Derby ,   Rostbite Falls, MN U   (09.11.07)
Try as you might, you cannot regiment, legalize immorality. As individuals, these brave people stood up against the immorality of the political orders in their war against the best of you. The war against those who love the land. Illegal and suicidal orders given by those who despite their lack of faith, have a messianic belief that if they only give land AGAIN to those that come to kill them, then their will be peace. All the while expecting a different result for their blind faith in disclaiming again the land the protects you and reclaimed with the blood of those whose memory you desecrate by just giving it away.. As if you can give something away that belongs to all Jews, past, present and future. But what do you expect from a party that took power without the benefit of elections and its leader is someone who has never been elected the Knesset of which he is yet the prime member. It would be such a joke if only your leadership wasn't complicit in your suicide.
5. Heroes
Marty ,   USA   (09.11.07)
They are heroes for paying the price of their moral convictions.
6. sons of light vs sons of darkness
Marcel ,   Florida   (09.11.07)
The lines are getting clearer by the day.It's easy to spot those who serve and bow to lying Idols and those who stand up for God and the truth.
7. all in the name
yossy hershkop ,   brooklyn ny   (09.11.07)
you call baruch marzel a notorious right winger i think you should save those words for neo nazi sickos baruch marzel is a good jew the soldiers who refused orders are not evil the neo nazi's and olmart are
8. RIGHT ON! OLMERTIANS WERE FOOLS ON THIS!
stude ham   (09.11.07)
9. So sad that YNet refers to Jewish patriots as right wing!
Nannette ,   London   (09.11.07)
Maybe YNet would prefer Jewish patriots were all dismissed from the army, and the left-wing, anti-Israel contingent took over.
10. I wish I could be hopeful this new year.
Steve ,   US   (09.11.07)
I fear what this government in league with George W. Bush is going to try to do to our people. I fear Olmert is going to establish Bush's vision of a Palestinian terror state in Judea, Samaria, Gaza and Jerusalem. Olmert will divide the Holy City of Jerusalem. I fear. Olmert wants this terrorist state and he will expel many tens of thousands of Jews from our land if he and Bush have their way. I hope I am wrong. I fear a terrible war and slaughter upon defenseless Jews of Israel if Bush and Olmert are not stopped. Bush and Olmert if they have their way, will leave the Jews defenseless before our enemies.
11. A country and society
Sagi ,   Israel   (09.11.07)
that carry out such an act is on a downward slope and sliding fast. Any soldier who disobeys orders should be prosecuted and the instigators of this act are guilty of treacherous behaviour, undermining the authority of the State and should be brought to trial. Democracies have one Government and one law only, if it is not so then society will break down and the end will be in sight. Is this too difficult to understand ? I am as right wing as they come and I hold leftists in contempt. This has nothing to do with politics. A society can not function this way, a house divided will not stand.
12. Refusal
Col. Ivan Zhukov ,   Moscow, Russia   (09.11.07)
Those Jews who were persecuted for wanting to immigrate to to Israel from the former Soviet Union were known as refuseniks. If they were to follow the official government policy, they would have assimilated and would have been lost forever. The soldiers who refused ahighly illegal and immoral order deserve the same admiration as Sharansky and other Refuseniks.
13. Disobeying Orders
JG   (09.11.07)
So one is allowed to disobey orders if one does not agree with the orders? The problem is that it works both ways. Righties refusing to evacuate settlers from Hebron, lefties refusing to defend settlements in the west bank - anarchy is a heartbeat away.
14. Finally some soldiers with the guts to say NO!
Avraham ,   Netivot   (09.11.07)
15. ridiculous line
Dave ,   Herzliya   (09.11.07)
It is remarkably offensive that the right continues to perpetuate this myth of "the youths and to the parents who raised such boys that live in torment, who are willing to serve in jail, instead of boys that go to discotheques and stab each other," That is ignorant of reality and a clearly political attempt to divide people.
16. #11 Sagi One Law
(09.11.07)
humans can and have been wrong. Governments have been wrong. That is why every individual has his own conscience, because each individual will have to give an account of his life to God. Its the one thing that shows there is a God because guilt has destroyed many a man. And following orders against his conscience has led many men into complete breakdown. they have come home from wars unable to function.And who has done this to humanbeings, Authorities that see themselves as a god.Authorities that do not care for their own people. So why should the people care for them?
17. THE ENEMY WITHIN
David ,   Los Angeles   (09.11.07)
18. HAD MORE SOLDIERS OPPOSED GAZA EVACUATION THEN
sderot resident   (09.11.07)
There wouldn't have been a massacre tonight
19. YNET's TERMONOLOGY
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (09.11.07)
Anyone with a kippa,is a rightwinger in the eyes of Ynet. Ynet stands for the global peagans and their anti religious agenda. Right now these people are in power and are dominating us,poisening the brains of the masses. Ynet fulfills the prophecy,that the righteous will be despised. Ynet was so eager to publish articles about neonazis here in israel,beating up on religous jews. Meanwhile they have been beating us up for years verbally, while distorting the facts and the reality. These enlightend humanists spread more hate and division, then most of our outside enemies.
20. these freaks are no rabbis
Ben Qorha   (09.11.07)
they are rejects from the realm of sitra achara. sowing sedition and discord. may they roast with their friends in the fires of gehennom!
21. no government in Israel
Michael ,   Haifa   (09.11.07)
...the country is being run by the settlement thugs
22. Notorious Marzel
Zvi ,   NY, USA   (09.11.07)
I did not realize the Marzel was a mass murderer like marwan bargoutti or Holocaust denier like Abbas that he should earn the title Notorious.
23. Evacuate all of Israel
Daniel, Jew ,   New York, NY   (09.11.07)
We deserve better. The current location of Israel stinks. We're surrounded by enemies, we are under siege. It's only a matter of time before Iran nukes Tel-Aviv. So why are we sitting like ducks, as we were in Nazi Germany. History repeats itself - get out while you can. Move the Jewish State to a more suitable location - one that is safe, far away as possible from those who hate us, and has natural resources. Choices include a part of Greenland, the southwestern U.S., and eastern Russia (where a Jewish homeland was once founded and flourished).
24. #6 The lines are clear for them, but truly blurred for u.
