1. So why aren't palestinian 'members' helping to stop attacks?
Mark ,   USA   (05.25.08)
If the group if supposed to be Israelis and palestinians who decided to lay down their weapons and pursue peace, why do we only ever see the two sides joining hands and acting against the IDF, not Hamas? This sham is is Israeli lefties and palestinians joining together to harm Israel. Nothing new there.
2. Yet again, ynet's bias is clear.
Daniel Pinner ,   Kfar Tapuach, Israel   (05.25.08)
The terminology you use once again reveals your bias and your violent ideology. Your statement that "one of those detained was refusenik Yonatan Shapira" is outrageous: it is a deliberate insult to the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were refused permission to leave the USSR, who were the real Refuseniks. These fanatical leftists - the ideological inheritors of the USSR and its weltanschauung - took this honourable title for themselves, as if pro-terrorism militants are somehow comparable with Jews wishing to leave an oppressive tyranny and come home to Israel.
3. The achievement of the PLO and terrorism.
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (05.25.08)
A survey carried out the Panels Research Institute finds that more than 75% of Israelis see partial or total transfer of Israeli-Arabs out of Israel in any final-status agreement that includes a Palestinian state.The poll asked whether it would be justified, in the framework of an agreement for the establishment of a Palestinian state, to demand the transfer out of Israel of all Arabs. Nearly 30% said yes with no reservations, while 28% said only Arabs who did not express loyalty to Israel should be expelled. In addition, another 19% said that Arabs who lived in areas bordering the PA-controlled areas, such as Wadi Area and the southern Galilee, should be transferred out.The remainder, just under 25%, said no Arabs should be transferred out.The survey encompassed 668 respondents, taking part in a series of Panel4All internet surveys. The Panels Institute says the respondents are a representative sampling of the adult population in Israel, and that the margin of error is 3.7%. The solution ? Details at : http://xrl.us/bjcgx
4. They need psychiatric counseling.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (05.25.08)
We could call it the "ideologically impaired" .....maybe "irrational peace syndrome". In layman's terms, meshuggah.
5. Ever seen Palestinian peaceniks protesting against Kassams?
Tahl ,   Israel   (05.25.08)
Neither have I.
6. THE ENEMY WITHIN
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (05.25.08)
If this would have been religious Jews blocking the entrance to Dizengoff str for protest of some kind the headline would have been "rightwing extremist". We just learned in this past weeks parsha how our enemies within who hate their own Judaism, are our most dangerous enemies. Ynet being their soundboard is a big part of the problem. These same so-called activists are just plain scared because they lack FAITH and have no reason nor connection to live in the land of Israel. As usual one has to wait and see if this will pass our KGB inspired media censorship.
7. simple solution
Boruch ,   Givat Zev   (05.25.08)
set the left wing "peaceniks" free in Ramallah, lets see how their Arab buddies treat them and what kind of welcome they will receive from those that they are defending .
8. Combatants for Peace!
June ,   Ahskelon   (05.25.08)
We are a democratic state - so these people do have the right to feel and act the way they do. It is such a pity however, that when Grad rockets are fired into Ashkelon, Qussams are fired into Sderot and Nitvot these people don't show solidarity with the residents and try and help towards peace in these areas. I wonder why?
9. WE WILL STOP THOSE LEFTIST TRAITORS
(05.25.08)
10. No one will stop us?
Gido ,   Tel Aviv   (05.25.08)
I will stop you, just tell me where you are right now.
11. These Leftists should be deported like Norman Finkelstein
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.25.08)
12. The lie about phoney "non-violence"
JPS ,   Efrat   (05.25.08)
13. Vandals for terrorism
Ilan ,   Ariel   (05.25.08)
Their sort of non-violence is like the 500,000 NIS damage to the vineyard in the Binyamin region. The police know who these people are but doesn't do anything about. The attacks on Jewish property are astounding but the Palestinian sympathizers in the press and government do nothing about it. It is only when it is Palestinian trees or fields do they go hysteric.
14. YNet calls right wing extremists, and left wing activists??
Jay ,   Israel   (05.25.08)
Its clearly a case of biased reporting and censorship, that happens in just about every article Ynet publishes. Why is it the left have a monopoly over the media? Dont they have certain unbiased ethical standards that be law they have to adhere to? There should be an investigation into this!
15. 5? And so much press
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.25.08)
Proof that ynet has become the OFFICIAL paper of meretz, kadima, 'strong Israel', labour, and the PA
16. What are these well meaning dupes doing to stop the
Michael ,   Tel Aviv   (05.25.08)
aggression of Hamas, Hezzbollah, Fatah, etc.? What are they doing to stop the PA from teaching children to hate and kill Jews as their primary educational objective? Why don't they put their energy somewhere where it will do some real good instead of pushing to open road block to allow more terrorists in to kill more Jews?
17. Next time leftists will get hurt!
Kadur Kahanisti ,   Homesh, Judea   (05.25.08)
There may be dead leftists before police arrives!
18. "Peace activists"
umm Danny ,   Israel   (05.25.08)
Before Yasir Arafat came back and messed everything up again, there was trade between W.Bank Arabs and Jews, free movement of workers to Israel and a raised level of prosperity not achieved under the rule of Jordan after 1967. The current hostile atmosphere will not be cured by Israeli leftist activists who havent learned the history of this region properly, and wish to hand over the Jewish heritage to any group noisy and violent and troublesome enough to make themselves heard in the electronic media.
