1. Druze rioters
Susan ,   Kfar Saba   (10.31.07)
This whole incident is really shocking. The Druze have always had the respect of Jewish Israeli's because of their loyalty and service in the army. It may be true that the police didn't handle this situation in the best way, but I don't think that one cellular antennae excuses this kind of violence. There are legal procedures to handle this kind of situation. It is shocking that a gang of men would beat a woman so savagely even if she is a border guard. The authorities have to prosecute the perpetrators of this violence. If the Durze leaders are wise, they will help.
2. Druze are decent people
Alexander ,   Holland   (10.31.07)
The Druze are our friends. Let this whole situation be resolved in a good manner.
3. they received everything they demanded
Liat   (10.31.07)
and that was encouraging. Thanks God!, they were not Muslims, otherwise they would have release me for free.
4. it is sad...
(10.31.07)
..to see girls in army. well, its also kind of honor BUT still sad. I call girls soldiers as little fishes. I mean If you catch a little fish ! what you do ? SEND IT BACK TO SEA, RIGHT ? Lets give duties to the girl soldiers as passive. you know ! safe places. THERE IS ALSO UNWRITTEN REALITY ! THAT ; IF ANYONE HURT A GIRL SOLDIER CAN HAVE WORST WORST ANSWER. So, Lets dont put Girl soldiers into fight. Thank you. Atilla Karagözoğlu PS: IDF ! please give her, long vacation. give her some money too. than she go visit some holiday places. anyway ! now I remember NEW IDF CHIEF ! we dont see his photo lately ! Ynet ! make news about him that WHAT HE HAS DONE IN THE IDF AS NEW UNTIL TODAY !
5. Liat, thank Hashem that you are safe.
Kev ,   London   (10.31.07)
G-d bless you and the retired police officer - what a hero.
6. If Pekiin were in Meah Shearim
Joseph P. ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.07)
the Druzim would have been killed or at best brutally beaten by the Israeli police.
7. Riot leaders should be punished severely
Not above the law   (10.31.07)
It's a disgrace that the police is afraid to go to the Druze villages to arrest a suspect. The Druze need to understand that they are not above the law. I guess the only language these people understand is the language of force. What happened in Peki'in is an outrage.
8. Ready and waiting
Yael ,   Gush Etzion   (10.31.07)
"The nightmare began just moments after we arrived at the scene to apprehend those suspected of rioting last Saturday night," Seems the "youths" knew the police were coming>
9. Kol Hakavod to the Druze
YS ,   Israel   (10.31.07)
for standing up for their RIGHTS! Don't be putting a toxic, lethal tower power in their midst unless you want to rumble till a fall. And the absurd is that we just sit down and take whatever a municpality and telecommunication company dictates and consider this *NORMAL*. What? We''re selling out for $$$$? Say it isn't so!
10. Police mishandled the situation..
Rami ,   Nazareth, Israel   (10.31.07)
just like they knew to negotiate with the local leadership in order to have the officer released, they should have coordinated with local leaders to carry out the arrests and everything would have ended in peace.
11. got what they wanted?
il ,   israel   (10.31.07)
does she mean that she was raped?
12. #11 No!, just wanted a couple of NIS
(10.31.07)
13. Congratulations
Ingvar Karlsen ,   Rio, Brazil   (10.31.07)
A lot of people around the world are proud of you
14. THE REAL TRUTH IS.....
Yehuda ,   Jerusalem   (10.31.07)
The Druze have what we the Jews once had many years ago in 1967and don’t today that is togetherness. We the Jews of today sit and watch and do nothing about cancer causing antennas on our roof tops and most everything, in hospital and shopping center ceilings and hidden in street light poles, parks and schools etc. Jew wake up and give a dam while you still can for soon it will be too late. Learn from the Druze gather together as brothers rather than call me achi (Achi = Brother in Hebrew). The politicians owe us not we owe them; donors to Israel and Aliyah makers wake up before it’s too late, rid the evil politician and nourish the citizens that care. Visit a cancer free Israel instead! Have a great day.
15. It's disgraceful that the Police have their own militia
(10.31.07)
which can be and often is used to oppress the Israeli population. Dismantle it now!
