1. So, arrest them.
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (06.16.08)
Jail sentences & stiff fines are what is needed. But, of course, our courts are so PC, so lenient, they'll get off with a slap on the wrist.
2. Finally...
Eli ,   Jerusalem, ISrael   (06.16.08)
...someone dares to speak the truth. Just when I was about to lose all my faith in the Police.
3. Leftists Plaster PA Flag on Tel Aviv License Plates
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.16.08)
Not only in Chevron are the LEFTISTS THE TROUBLE-MAKERS but they are the MAIN CAUSE of all the problems Israel is facing with its enemies.
4. The TRUTH, it's about time.
ecr   (06.16.08)
There may be hope for the police after all. Hope this cop doesn't loose his job for speaking up.
5. Mustn't be beastly to the settlers
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (06.16.08)
They do after all represent everything that Israel stands for: apartheid, racism, the theft of Palestinian land, resources and history. Without Palestine the Zionists are nothing: their entire culture and raison d'etre is based on what they have stolen. Israel is a decaying shipwreck inhabited by hungry rats plundering the unlucky shores of Palestine; it brought nothing with it apart from the plague.
6. Breaking the Silence
Jerry Haber   (06.16.08)
Some points to consider: 1) The police lost a court case last week. against Breaking the Silence. They are covering their you-know-whats. 2) They have no evidence against the group, which has been doing these tours for THREE YEARS. If it bothered the settlers so much, then why they didn't they complain earlier? They say that the tours are like gay rights parades in Geula. Would the haredim let them gays parade in Geula for three years? 3) If the police are worred about illegal demonstrations, let them limit their tours to nine people at a time, unless they get a permit. If they are under 10, the only thing the police can do is to protect the group from the settlers. 4) The settlers think that if they make a big enough racket, they will win. Who can blame them? For forty years that is what they are doing. 5) But what the settlers don't realize is that banning these groups is exactly what they want. If you were a leftwinger, and you had to choose between a boring tour of a closed Shuada street in Hebron, or a mob scene of angry settlers yelling curses, with the police and army standing by....what would you pick? 6) Breaking the Silence and Bne Avraham are in a win-win situation. No wonder. These guys learned in yeshivas. They know what they are doing.
7. I will repent from my wicked ways of deceit and Taqqiya.
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (06.16.08)
My real Name is Fatman Aburahmeh not Chanalau, Tova , as no such name exists. It was a weak attempt to fool readers into thinking I was a self hating Jooo who was pro-terrorist. I am loser who sits at home writing pointless pro-islamofacist propoganda on an Israeli news site. I am a hateful bitter person, who hates Joooooooos most of all. please forgive me all I have finally realised how evil islamofacists and the left really are. I renounce my Islam and I will convert to Judaism, the one true original religion, who preceded Islam by centuries. Shalom. Long live Israel!
8. Sheik Abu Khader Jabri, in his interview to the newspaper
Roman ,   Lod, Israel   (06.16.08)
Mispacha (an ultra-Orthodox weekly in wide circulation in Israel and Brooklyn, NY), said that leftist activists, both Jewish Israeli and foreign, were stopped by his men on occasions when they wished to "destroy illegal settler buildings". The Sheik, who is actively trying to reconcile relations between the two communities, didn't take kindly to the presence of these groups. And as a religious Muslim, neither did he take kindly to the building of choice - synagogue. Apparently, the... activists in question were told that should they return again they would be shot. Sheik Jabri was both amazed and enraged at the existence of such utter madmen who seek nothing save conflict between the two communities in Hebron. They already had enough trouble with various Jihadist organizations there as it is - he didn't need stupid *leftist* extremists messing up his attempts to open various secured roads to vehicle traffic, to try and give assurances for a semblance of normalcy. Why would they need the extra troubles brought by leftist extremists supposedly there to "defend Palestinian rights", but instead starting violent conflicts, particularly protests involving Palestinian children? With friends like that, who needs enemies?
9. #5 who do you think you are talking to?
Raphael Cohen ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.16.08)
You call us rats stealing "Palestinian land"? Have you ever read a bible? don't you know that this is Jewish land and has been for over 3000 years? You dare you talk to us this way! Where were you and the UK when we were suffering in the death camps?
10. #5
jerome ,   basalt, co   (06.16.08)
your talkbacks are gett'n more corny, stupider and ridiculous. you just make yourself look ignorant and very unhappy! I think you need a vaction and I recomend visiting Gaza. to get there go thru a tunnel from Egypt.
11. how dare the police speak the truth - fire them
Arie ,   BaGolan   (06.16.08)
12. illegal occupation in Hevron
Yonatan ,   Nahariah   (06.16.08)
Jewish property owners of the land illegally occupied by arabs have been crying out since 1929! When the arabs took the Jewish city of Hevron they just killed the Jewish owners! These left wing dogs are itching for a repeated performance of the 1929 Jewish massacre!
13. Extreme leftists
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.16.08)
Not my kind of Jews
14. Chanalau, Tova , London, UK
Leon ,   Grand Rapids USA   (06.16.08)
You're right...theft of land is a terrible crime, and all of Yehuda and the Shomron must be returned to their rightful owners. Am Yisrael Chai !
15. How Low Can You Go
Mikesailor ,   Miami, FL   (06.16.08)
So, the 'left-wing' organizations go to Hebron and non-violently remind the 'settlers' that they are brutal occupiers. The 'settlers' respond with violence. And the 'police' respond by blaming the non-violent, with the approval of the majority of Israelis. The Taliban is alive and well, it has found a new home in Israel.
16. Solution: Let The Hebron Jews Attack Them
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (06.16.08)
Turn a blind eye and let them beat the living daylights out of these traitors. "...לץ תכה ופתי יערים" " Smite a scorner, the simple will become prudent..." (Proverbs 19:25)
17. Its time someone spoke the truth...#5 doesnt like that!
Jay3 ,   Israel   (06.16.08)
Every Israeli should go down to these demonstration sites and beat the crap out of these leftist traitors! Most here in Israel are sick of the leftists treason! Chanalau, you are the only rat here......go join the leftists so we can beat you up too.
18. ynet reporting
charles ,   jerusalem,israel   (06.16.08)
Some objective reporting from the leftist media ,incredible!!We would appriciate it , if it would happen more often .
19. Left Wing Racism
Bill ,   US   (06.16.08)
I believe on some level the average human being knows that since the Arabs started the war in 1948 they bare the consequences for the results. The only exception being the Leftists who believe they are more "understanding" by not holding people of the third world morally accountable for their actions. This shouldn't surprise Israelis who know that the forefathers of today's Labor party believed Yemenite Jews to be incapable of raising their own children so they assumed the responsibility of doing it for them.
21. Re: Chanalau Tova. Looks like she is a neo Nazi type
Jerry ,   London   (06.16.08)
I am not sure she is a Palestinian because of her good English. She might be the neo Nazi type. And what makes you think it's " she"? I imagion a skin head sitting at the keyboard and spreading his hate.
22. about time we see this in the press
sam ,   jerusalem   (06.16.08)
these kind of anti-settler activities have been going on for years. the leftists antagonize the our brothers living in hot areas and then film their reaction, its nice to see the truth being printed, that they are in fact dangerous not only to the jews living in these areas but to the soldiers as well.
23. Commander Avshalom Peled is him self a settler
Mary ,   London, UK   (06.16.08)
24. #23, More than one police official quoted in this article
Jake   (06.16.08)
Perhaps all their claims should be discounted in your version of justice, as they all might be "settlers" and therefore by extension, congenital liars.
25. True Heroes
Truthseeker ,   USA   (06.16.08)
The so-called "leftists" are true heroes. It is time that the Hebron squatters vacate their stolen properties and return behind the Green Line. The "leftists" have every right to confront this scum who delight to throw their garbage on the heads of Palestinians who walk by and who delight to scrawl their obscenities on the walls of now shuttered Palestinian shops. These Hebron squatters make me sick. We ned more good Israelis who will show the squatters that they are not only impediments to peace but also inflame hatred against Jews. Thank G-d for these brave heroes.
26. Settlers of Hevron are closer to G-D than even Mea Shearim.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Santa Monica,CA USA   (06.16.08)
27. PS Liberalism-Leftism like Savage says is a mental disease!
Stewart ,   USA   (06.16.08)
28. Simply said: Israeli Leftists
Miriam ,   Israel   (06.16.08)
are Jews who discarded the yoke of Torah and any dignity of humanity.
29. # 25 Arabs Used Violence to Rid Hebron
(06.16.08)
of Jews. The few Jews living in Hebron hardly make up for the community that once lived there. How many Arabs are living in formerly Jewish homes?
30. # 7 I don't think so
Thomas   (06.16.08)
If you read posts by Muslims and Arabs who write to this site, for the most part they are civil whether you agree with them or not is another matter. However when you read posts by Israeli leftists and their European idols, it's as if you're reading an English translation of Der Strumer.
