1. It's the occupation stupid
Realist ,   Ramat Gan   (03.14.08)
2. and now...
Barak   (03.14.08)
for the pictures of the Jews of Hebron and what they have had do endure for simply being Jews.
3. There are also YouTube videos about Hebron
Observer   (03.14.08)
and they don't look good at all for Israel. Much international sympathy is lost because because in the age of Internet, everyone can check for himself out what's going on at those places under occupation.
4. Hebron is home to some 166,000 Palestinians
Mandela   (03.14.08)
and 500 Israeli settlers responsible for those pictures. Peace not Apartheid.
5. Just a thought
Yoni ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.08)
By showing the last 40 years they allow themselves a very nice out from showing pictures from, say, I don't know.....1929 or 1936 when Jews that had been living in Hebron were attacked by the peaceful arab citizens of Hebron. Also what context are these pictures from? True we see people being put in unfortunate positions....but what about the scene before those positions? Were certain people throwing stones at soldiers? Were these pictures taken after a murder of Israel citizens & the security forces were moving in on some of the people responsible? Jews were living in Hebron prior to 1967. Its unfortunate that yet again the artistic community in Israel is lacking the integrity to show more than one side.
6. The Images Invoke Memories of How Nazis Once Treated Jews
Johan Odin ,   Oslo, Norway   (03.14.08)
I hope these pictures and many more are spread around the world to show to everyone just how ugly Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine truly is. The disgusting illegal Israeli settlers squatting in Hebron toss their garbage, dirty diapers down from their apartments onto the Palestinian markets below and even urinate out their windows, all under the watchful and approving eyes of Israel's occupation troops, whose only purpose apparently is to enable the illegal Israeli Settlers to get away with their acts of terrorism against the Palestinians.

7. It's The Massacre Stupid
GZLives   (03.14.08)
Too bad no internet around to show the once Jewish city of Hebron as it really was before the Muslims massacred 70 and drove out the rest of the Jews. But in this age as any leftist knows, history doesn't count if you can't see it on the 'net.
8. #3 Your Funny
Barak   (03.14.08)
Guess you never heard of Paliwood. Maybe you should take a look at Pierre Rehov's "The Road to Jenin" before you believe the lies of the terrorists.
9. #4 Do u know WHY it's 500 vs 166.000?
Rehavam ,   Israel   (03.14.08)
Because “palestinian” literally slaughtered every jew who want to live in Holy Hebrew Hebron! And stole their houses. And this atrocity was going on LONG before 1948. But it’s OK with you Mandela…
10. Antisemitism
Roland ,   Jerusalem   (03.14.08)
Where are the pictures of all the jews murdered in cold blood in Hevron in thename of - killing Jews. The IDF has to operate in Hebron because of the hostility of the Arab citizens and the gratuitous violence against Jews and X-tians that it causes. As in most any subject in this 'conflict' - if the arabs laid down their arms there would be peace in the middle east. we wait. Nuff said.
11. have you also checked
gamba & pilpel   (03.14.08)
whats going on in sderot and ashkelon? have you checked how it looks like after busses with women and children explode into pieces? have you seen pictures of crowd-packed cafés after a suicide bombing? have you seen the video of the two israelis being lynched? have you seen the pictures of the jerusalem yeshiva attack, all the kids who died there? no? it's time to wake up. stop falling for the propaganda the palis are selling you. all the misery they have is because their motto is 'death'. they teach their children to hate, they teach them how to build explosives-belts and how to shoot with an m16 or ak47. they teach them to hate jews with all their strength. they turn mickey mouse into a martyr. they use billions of aid money to finance terror, instead of helping their own people. you give them gaza back and instead of building on it, they use it as a kassam launch platform. and when they launch kassams, they make sure kids and women are only steps away in case israel shoots back. false propaganda is their life. a stage of misery, all fake, to let the world believe in a lie. they scream "cease fire", and when we agree to stop, another suicide bomber kills a dozen innocent civilians in telaviv. we give them food supplies, water, electricity, movile connectivity and medicine, and with all that the bite the hand that feeds them. yes, 'death' is their motto. and 'death' will therefor be their destiny. cheers! ;-)
12. Hebron
Nancy   (03.14.08)
Photographers: Don´t falsify history !!! Tell us something about Hebron massacre of 1929.
13. In a hi tech age where photos and film
Leo ,   TA   (03.14.08)
are manipulated and staged for partisan political purposes - google the Reuters fauxtography scandal or Pallywood/Second draft or the current France 2 Mohammed Al Dura court case - its hard to believe that there are still many idiots out there who take all of these pictures and films (including those posted on Youtube) for face value and without any question. The stand out idiots are those who then go on to compare Israel to Nazi Germany or even apartheid South Africa. And the worst of these are of the European variety (from countries like Norway who collaborated with the Nazis)...they should crawl under a rock. Will there be an exhibition devoted to Israeli victims like 10 month year old baby shalhevet pass - who was shot in the head by an Arab sniper in 2001 or the hebron masscer in 1929which concidentally preceded the 1967 occupation? I would argue that cold blooded murder, terrorism, and pogroms are far worse than being merely rounded up by Israeli soldiers...
14. You reap what you sow..
Elchonon ,   Chevron   (03.14.08)
Chevron has always been a jewish city, the fact that there are arabs living here does not change anything. The government forced "status quo" forbidding jews from building / expanding combined with arabs being killed if they sell land to jews.. has brought about the cureent situation. The left does not want peace.. the leftist and anarchists that call themself internationals and peace activists are none of the above. They want the jews out at any cost.. they respect nor acknowledge anything jewish here. Peace not apethtid... right #4.. so why cant jews build or live in peace or buy land ? Because you leftist fruitcakes dont want jews! you wanty to ethnicaly cleanse hebron of her jewish residents. We in hebron know and are accustomed to the likes of you. Happily, we and other sane people around the world can see and comprehend the true situation and the intentions of our enemies. The true obstacle to peace lies in the form of leftist provocateurs.
15. Why are Palestinians so afraid of 500 Jews?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (03.14.08)
If they would welcome them as neighbors, they could live together in peace. Too bad Palestinians have been brainwashed that it is their right to an ethnically-cleansed Jew-free environment and their "right" to kill any Jew who gets into their space.
16. Hey...ROCKS CAN KILL!
stuart ,   Ny,ny USA   (03.14.08)
17. Nr. 11 Gamba & Pilpel
Camealeon ,   New York, US   (03.14.08)
you rock! I have seen your comments more than once and I share your opinion. You always keep it simple and true. Rock on!
18. Top 10 Things One Goat Said to the Other: #10
(03.14.08)
10. So...it's against the law to wear panties on your head now?
19. Sympathy for murderers is chic...
Ilan ,   Ariel   (03.14.08)
Nearly forty-one years ago Israel liberated from Jordanian rule Judea and Samaria including Hebron and Jerusalem. Nearly sixty years ago we established our state on the territory of the British Mandate over Palestine. Arabs call this an occupation, Jews do not.
20. Should be called Pali Propaganda Exhibition
3Jay ,   Israel   (03.14.08)
21. how comforting
Jennie ,   Israel   (03.14.08)
To know that yet again, we can count on our own people to give us the worst public relations, to present only one narrow view of a situation, to present us in the worst possible light, to be the most virulent anti semites, to cause the most damage to us, to prefer to placate those who want us slaughtered , rather than do anything at all to protect us. There is no Jew hater worse than a Jew. Disgusting. Someone hand me a barf bag. Shabbat Shalom
22. End the Occupation
Arabman ,   Kalamazoo, US   (03.14.08)
One day, inshallah, Hebron will be Arabrein. End the Occupation - Arabs Out!
23. One sided as usual
Dave ,   Seattle, USA   (03.14.08)
Israel does not want to do anything with Hebron, a hand full of Jews live there and the soldiers are there to protect them. If the PA wasn't so corrupt and allow terrorists to operate freely in the west bank than Israel wouldn't have to have such a strong presence. Unfortunately, Israel has to babysit the Palestinians who cannot properly manage themselves.
24. #4
Barak   (03.14.08)
Yes166,000 palis live with 500 Jews.Why do you think the IDF has to be there to protect the Jews. If the racist palis in Hebron would leave the Jews in peace there would be no problem. You are a typical leftist wingnut who has cause and effect backwards and who does not care about the facts and truth because the liberal media tells you it "feels good" to root for the terrorist underdog.
25. Exhibit
Proud Jew ,   Israel   (03.14.08)
So one-sided. It kills me that Jewish photographers took part in it. They should have shown pictures of all the Jews who were murdered in Chevron too.
26. TO THE MORONS # 6 SHAME OF YOU ! JEWS WERE MURDERED !
(03.14.08)
27. To #6 Mr Odin
daniel   (03.14.08)
If so, where are the mountains of dead bodies? Why dont you understand that by saying such things you just close our hearts for the suffering of the Palestinians. Dont you get it that no matter how hard it is for them, any time you compare us the the Nazi's we can only conclude one thing: It ain't that bad. Now tell me, is that what you want? Do you want us to look at those pictures, think of the Nazi's and conclude that the Palestinians have nothing to complain about? What are you, some Kahanist?
28. OCCUPATION????
steve ,   denver co   (03.14.08)
Are you people insane or just totaly ignorant?! Occupation of Chevron? Chevron belonged to The Jewish people long before it did to the Arabs who live there. The fact that the world believes the prpoganda of the Arabs that there is a "Palestinian people" is in itself absurd". Can one single person please trace a Palestinian people historically? No, of course not, becasue it is a lie. These are Arabs who were discarded by their own countries and called Palestinians so that Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia would not have to take them back. As far as Chevron, it always belonged to the Jewish people. Why does noone speak of the Jewish people's RIGHT OF RETURN!!!!!!
29. Learn and act, against the heinous acts in our name
Occupation Magazine ,   Israel   (03.14.08)
More - on the Occupation Magazine
30. anti-Semitism is no "culture"!
