1. Maybe they should reach out
Stan ,   JHB RSA   (02.13.08)
Maybe they should reach out to the Jews of Hevron and Maalot (to name a few) as well as the Jews who escaped persecution and lost loved ones and all their property at the hands of the arabs of iraq, yemen etc. A march through these streets and the erection of a monument would be a fitting tribute. Or is justice one-sided?
2. Set this as an example! Thank you Sami Issa!

3. "This is a day of holiday for Kfar Kassem"

eureka! It is a city! I wonder when exactly did they find out that there were people and buildings in that given location-lol
4. Do not trust them.

The attitude of the Israeli Arabs to Israel can be summed up in one of the popular sayings: "take whatever you can and give nothing." For this reason they avoid paying true taxes, either to the municipalities or the state. However, at the same time they enjoy all the services and benefits which the state offers its citizens. Since they pay very little income tax, they are regarded statistically as belonging to the low-income, namely the poor, sector of the society. But anybody who travels through all the Arab villages and towns in Israel is astonished by the wonderful villas in which these "poor people" live. The Israeli Arabs are represented by three parties in the Knesset that are elected in free, democratic elections. One of them is officially communist, one officially Islamic, and one "national-democratic" but as far as their attitude to Israel as a Jewish state is concerned, there is no difference between them. They all openly wish for its disappearance although all of them swore allegiance to "the State of Israel and its laws" when they joined the Knesset as described at: http://israelagainstterror.blogspot.com/2007/12/enemy-within.html
5. Massacres etc.
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (02.13.08)
Yes, let's also not forget the thousands of Jewish residents massacred by Arabs in places such as Hebron, along the supply lines to the kibbutzim in the north etc. Let us not forget the historical alliance of the Arabs with Hitler and the Mufti of Jerusalem joining the Nazi war machine, encouraging the massacres of Jews across the Europe and in Palestine. Yes, the Porder Police might have killed 49 people in Kfar Kassem but Arabs are still committing atrocities against the non-Muslims around the world and in Israel. Heck, they are even mass-murdering their own! So to those young kids in Kfar Kassem I say: you have MUCH MORE penitence to do than us, but you never did it and you never showed any sign of intending to do it in the future. Instead of perpetuating your hatred which, admit it, has ntohing to do with what happened in '56, try to mend your own ways. If you had not been so hateful and subversive you and your brothers would have also been as succesful as Rosh Haayin which you envy so much. But if you lead your lives around treason, hatred ad terror, you can never be a creative or productive people - even if Rosh Haayin was given to you for free on a golden plate. Look what your did in Gaza when we left the area - they looted and destroyed all the greenhouses, irigation systems and factories which were supposed to give them a start in life. What a pityful heap of dung! So don't regale us with your own claims to Rosh Haayin "pennies" (so it's always been the money, eh?) when your "heroes" are still butchering our women and children with YOUR moral, and sometimes even active support. In our case, "massacres" are the rare exception - in your case, it's the rule.
