1. That's not quite true...
Concerned Israeli   (05.26.08)
It's more accurate to say that he who gives away the Golan will sentence his nation to death.
2. The beginning of a Coup
Arie ,   BaGolan   (05.26.08)
olmert and his henchmen (and women) have gone out of their way to dismember and surrender the State: from forcing the IDF to retreat from front bases along the gaza border, to surrendering Jerusalem, to allowing the terrorists to attack Sderot Ashqelon and other communities without retribution, to supplying the enemy wih fuel arms and supplies; to the impending surrender of the Golan, to giving the alleged 'naqba' credence by forcing our youth to hear the propaganda, the olmert gang, couple with meretz the TA leftists and hamas are doing all they can to destroy us. If they believe the public won't react, even by raising arms against them, then their hallucinations have permanently damaged their brains
3. Olmert
Sagi ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
is only one of 120
4. Go home ashkenazi!!
Sayid ,   Sweden   (05.26.08)
Leave the semitic middle east and return to eastern Europe were you descend from!
5. He's right!
Prof. R. Bar-On ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
He is absolutely right from a legal perspective. Treason has been defined as giving (a) land, (b) state secrets and (c) support to the enemy. And treason is punished by death in many countries (including western countries). Only weak jews will not enforce punishment for such a serious crime. And if not (inter alia), we do not deserve a state. What if we demand from the UN to return British Mandate to Palestine?
6. they might file a compiant to the AG against Eldad
YITZAK BEN SHLOMO ,   SINGAPORE   (05.26.08)
7. those meretz-sheretz MKs running to the police
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.08)
are such a bunch of cry babies, it was ok for them to yell dros kol dos and hashmeid kol chareid but if someone says something they disagree with they go running to the police and screeming incitement Ran Cohen, get a life, grow up, stop running to your "mommy" crying very time a MK from the right says something that you do not like Go ran to the police when your arab buddies scream itbach al yahud or when they scream incitement from the mosque on Friday and on TV Ran Cohen, you are a sissy cry baby!
8. National Union just got my vote.

Poitcha ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
You are a moron. Semitic : refers to peoples who are Jewish AND who are Arabs !!!!!!!!!
10. oye! someone remind them what happened on 04/11/95!
(05.26.08)
did they learn nothing at all?
11. Sayid - Leave Europe First
(05.26.08)
Imagine your whining if Sweden were to say you weren't the right race for their country.
12. #4
Oz ,   Perth, Australia   (05.26.08)
Agree with number 9 - and by the way Sayid doesn't sound like a very Swedish name - so you should also return from whence you came.
13. RAN COHEN (MERETZ) ADMITS!
FO ,   Belgium   (05.26.08)
Ran Cohen (Meretz) has filed a complaint with attorney general Menahem Mazuz against MK Arieh Eldad on suspicion of incitment. MK Eldad said indeed earlier that anyone who gives away parts of the land of Israel will be sentenced to death. So finally Meretz admits that the Golan Heights are part of the land of Israel, but seems to have no objection giving them away as a mere present to Syria. Being an integral part of Mandatory Palestine as voted by the League of Nations in 1922, Britain ceded the Golan to France, the Mandatory of Syria, in 1923, by breaching in a brutal and treacherous way Art. 5 of the League's resolutions. Syria cannot make any claim about the Golan in an International Court of Law, because this territory never belonged to Syrian real estate. Ran Cohen, Olmert, LIvni and C° know this very well, but who cares?
14. # 10
Prof. R. Bar-On ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
The question that you should ask is: Who should have learned what and when?
15. To Prof. R. Bar-On - death for treason in many countries
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (05.26.08)
Countries like Iran, totalitarian states and groups like Hamas, Hezbollah and Al Qaeda kill for fanatic reasons. Why doesn't MK Arieh Eldad demand the death penalty for those who sell secrets to the enemy or is he trying to settle a personal score? I totally disagree with withdrawing from the Golan Heights and any peace agreement with Syria in which we give and they take. However, MK Arieh Eldad has crossed the line. The last time someone said something similar we buried a Prime Minister. This sort of thing is unacceptable in today's world particularly as he is by profession a doctor (Prof. Eldad is a professor and head of the plastic surgery and burns unit at the Hadassah Medical Center hospital in Jerusalem. - Wikipedia) The right wing here has done nothing to develop the Golan and the Galilee which has resulted in a huge growth of the minorities in the region. If they had invested in the north the sums earmarked for development here instead of diverting it all to Judea and Samaria there just might have been a Zionist majority in the north of Israel. The fact is putting people to death is not the Jewish way!
16.  Road Map brings death,not peace
Marcel ,   Florida   (05.26.08)
ISAIAH 28 speaks on the Bush Road Map Israel,Olmert,Barak are following. Remember Bulldozer Sharon's end ? 14 Therefore hear the word of the Lord, you scornful men, Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem, 15 Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves." A Cornerstone in Zion 16 Therefore thus says the Lord God: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. 17 Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet; The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place. 18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it. 19 As often as it goes out it will take you; For morning by morning it will pass over, And by day and by night; It will be a terror just to understand the report." 20 For the bed is too short to stretch out on, And the covering so narrow that one cannot wrap himself in it. 21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, He will be angry as in the Valley of Gibeon-- That He may do His work, His awesome work, And bring to pass His act, His unusual act. 22 Now therefore, do not be mockers, Lest your bonds be made strong; For I have heard from the Lord God of hosts, A destruction determined even upon the whole earth. Isaiah 28
17. Hey, he's just saying what all of us are thinking!
Deb ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
18. RON COHEN AND MERETZ ARE TRAITORS WHO SHOULD BE KICKED OUT..
OLMERT=CRIMINAL   (05.26.08)
OF THE KNESSET!
19. Typical that on the Hebrew site most condemn Eldad...
DkS ,   J'lem, IL   (05.26.08)
...while on the English site you don't have to expect more than 2 negative remarks regarding his disgusting statements. Just shows again the immaturity and extreme right-wing sentiments of most of the English-speaking surfers. Such a shame.
20. David #15: Why do you say capital punishment is not Jewish?
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
There certainly are indeed capital crimes in our Torah. Our judges wisely erred on the side of mercy and leniency, yet this does not mean the law should be ignored. It seems to me, this law forbidding giving our precious land to our enemies is a good state law. How can we Jews allow treasonous offenses to go unpunished by our courts of law? By our judges?
21. Ynet, You are doing a great service!!
Ryan ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.08)
Ynet, keep up the pressure with your reporting. Surely MK Eldad must be lying about there being a Penal Law that calls for the death penalty for ceding the Golan. That is a convenient excuse for someone engaged in alleged incitement. MK Ran Cohen (and MK Ophir Pines), please continue your efforts to bring MK Eldad to justice for his alleged incitement. If Attorney General Menachem Mazuz does not indict, bring it before the Israeli people. Everyone must know the truth, and chase that charlatan out of office. The PM's Office said: "the man and his words are unworthy of a response." Bull sh**!! You are trying to cover-up the alleged crimes of MK Eldad. What greater crime is there than incitement by a public official, which could lead to a lynch mobs in the streets? And lastly to the readers of Ynet, keep up the pressure until the truth is exposed.
22. #10 and #19: Can you not make distinctions?
Steve ,   US   (05.26.08)
Can you two not make a distinction between incitement to vigilantism and invoking the law?
23. Distraction
David   (05.26.08)
Great. Now we have a distraction. An opportunity for the leftists to exercise their desire to criminalize dissent, and for our failure of a prime minister to cloak himself in the mantle of the Yitzhak Rabin, and to receive all of the admiration and public affection that it entails.
24. Whats wrong Cohen...He is only stating the law!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
Its about time someone stated the law regarding giving away sovereign land! Olmert is guilty of treason and whether it be the death penalty or a long jail sentence, Edad is only stating the facts! Elections now and oust this fool Olmert!
25. Israel Must Leave the Golan Heights
World Citizen ,   the world   (05.26.08)
as they must leave Shabba Farms, the entire West Bank. Only then do the Israelis have a chance for peace. There is no other way.
26. Eldad gone mad?
outsider ,   home   (05.26.08)
They all lost their minds! but, Eldad, who in spite of his extremism always demonstrated some sensibility and rationality in convincing ways is going mad! Olmert also has gone mad long ago...
27. Israel wants to commit suicide and I should worry?
aL   (05.26.08)
Go ahead..jump to your death. Keep on B.Sing yourself with'democracY" and othe BS all the while people in Israel vote with their feet. How many Jews have already left sderot and environs in the past year? How many good Jews have left Israel in the past 8 years since the start of the intifada. Tell yourself what you want...Israel is on tender hooks. You have lost the hope of the Jews. Go ahead..jump! and keep on telling yourself you are a democracy. You are a pathetic losing nation hell bend on national suicide. And I'm supposed to worry about that? I dont think so..I'm simply watching you self destruct and its pretty "f"ing sad.
28. The Golan
muriel ,   israel   (05.26.08)
Talk, talk, talk Will we give up the Golan in the near future? Please spare me all the hysteria. First and foremost - there will be long discussions and negotiations and perhaps in 25 years after Syria has proven to be a peaceful and friendly neighbor, we might relinquish some land. Hopefully, we have learned a lesson from the Gaza expulsion of our settlers.
29. # 19
(05.26.08)
On the Hebrew site does it feature the article where Hizballah says Israel will disappear soon? I believe him more than you and your sense of maturity and intelligence.
30. ELDAD FOR Prime Minister! Now, here is ONE MK a true Zionist
Miriam ,   Israel   (05.26.08)
who cares about Israel. All the other disloyal MKs should get out of this government.
