1. Which "regime's crimes"?
rachel ,   chutz4now   (07.03.08)
Get with it....YES many Arab Israeli citizens suffer because of their Hamas/Fatah/? brothers, but so do other Israeli citizens. If you are a LOYAL citizen to the state you know to stay away from extremists in ANY FORM! I still wonder though...which "regime" he was referring to?
2. "He had a criminal record"..."Raping a Jewish Israeli woman"
Jake   (07.03.08)
In other words, he had a record of terrorist violence against Israelis.
3. So, this man was mentally ill..
Joseph Zadok ,   Col.   (07.03.08)
and act like this. The point here is why Jerusalem municipality is not more involved in organizing meeting, seminars to compel arab citizens to get involved in solving their social, economical affairs, in Sur Baher's community center and others similar in east Jerusalem? That way would be possible to fight against terrorist organization propaganda.
4. rapists are known to escalate from rape to murder. he was a
debra ,   usa   (07.03.08)
psychopath. rape and murder satisfied his deviant criminal mind. he was a true monster. he cared nothing for any jewish lives. my prayers are with the families of the victims and all israelis.
5. I hate to say this...
Matthew ,   U.S.A.   (07.03.08)
But Israel created its own mess with letting muslims work and live within Israel. Go IDF!!!
6. "radicalization among MKs"?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (07.03.08)
is he referring to the treasonous acts of some mks from the arab sector? or is he talking about the tough-sounding (pre-election posturing) rhetoric from jewish mks, to demolish the houses of terrorists? because his parting shot at the "regime's crimes" doesn't sound like he's quite onboard with the israeli identity thing.
7. They rejoiced in E. Jerusalem
Jake   (07.03.08)
Dozens of Arabs from Tzur Baher began shouting joyfully when news came of the terror attack by one of their neighbors Wednesday, HNN reported. The terrorist's family members gathered in his house. One of the women of the family ululated with joy from a balcony, according to Nfc. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/Flash.aspx/149286
8. YOU DONT LOOK SHOCKED IN THIS VIDEO
Aharon   (07.03.08)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbP45VON0hU You're shocked? really? you could have fooled me! Liars!
9. al qassam:delusional or a liar
Arie ,   BaGolan   (07.03.08)
One only need look at the arab MKs calling for the destruction of the State;or the ongoing riots by the 5th columnites against the State;or the attacks by arabs against Jews who have the 'audacity' to visit arab areas in the Galil; or.........; the list goes on. So either al-qassam is woefully delusional or an out and out liar of the paliwood level!
10. Looks like...
Jew   (07.03.08)
this is the end of the road for any Israeli arab or frankly for the arabs of gaza and wb. They will be exported to Jordan, their rightful home. they cannot live with Jews as their neighbors. This experiment in kumbaya is over.
11. You What????!!!!!????
(07.03.08)
12. New Knesset Laws
Mike ,   Jerusalem   (07.03.08)
"radicalization among MKs. There is a new set of rules that are extremely dangerous, and which can do Israel more harm" Is demanding loyalty to the State and demanding that they obey the Laws of the Land harmful? Is a law againt being a traitor or against passing State secrets to the enemy harmful?
13. This article is very stupid
Ephraim Rauch ,   Bnei Brak, Israel   (07.03.08)
When police officers came to the murderer's home, they heard a woman chant a song of praise for the murderer. Why is this not mentioned here? Even the "moderate" words quoted in this article are expressions of burning hatred, e.g. "such a honest man" (convinced rapist), "we oppose the murder of any civilian, Arab or Jewish", "the residents receive nothing" (they receive water, electricity, subsidies for education, children's allowances, jobs, etc.), "the Arab population has demonstrated extraordinary political maturity despite the oppressive policies" (which oppressive policies?), "there is a new set of rules that are extremely dangerous and which can do Israel more harm than the radicalization of the law-abiding Arab population", "I hope that the media will not allow the anti-Arab nationalism currently running rampant to break through", "help preserve the relationship between the two sectors despite the regime's crimes" (which crimes?).
14. To all the Arabs living on the Land of Israel !
Rober Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (07.03.08)
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, : We are the legitimate owner of this land. Once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Anthem, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Israeli freedom :'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'. If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. The Arab occupation has lasted long enough. We didn't force you to come here. The Land of Israel is the land of the Jews as explained at: http://xrl.us/bi5c6
15. LOL!!!
joe ,   vienna   (07.03.08)
Rape is a sex crime. Raping an israeli woman is "tarrrorism"? Ahhhm.... Definition by "King George"?? Get a living, Jacky-boy!!!!
16. Yeap!!!
David ,   USA / ISRAEL   (07.03.08)
Arab Israelis love Israel but wave the Palestinian flag. Yeap! and we should believe that.....
17. answer to why he did it!
Santc ,   Canada   (07.03.08)
read faithfreedom.org and you will get answer to why he did it!
18. Re: to Jake
Bret Allan ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (07.03.08)
No, it just sounds to me like you have a narrow mind. The report clearly states that the Jewish woman he was 'romantically involved with' Probably her parents were disgusted with the idea of her involved with the 'enemy' so she conjured up a fake rape story. In my opinion, if it was a legitimate rape charge he would have received more than 2 years in jail.
19. He Married the Woman He Raped
Yaakov ,   Dallas TX   (07.03.08)
And then had two children with her. Now that is real testament to Arab Israeli relations.
20. According to The London Telegraph
AK   (07.03.08)
It was the terrorists mother on the balcony, ululating, but then apparently changed her mind about open celebrations, possibly when talk of raizing their house came up. The Israeli girl the terrorist was convicted of raping lived with him and his family and was later saved by some Israeli girl-saving group, which leads me to believe, that while she came to live with him voluntarily, she couldn't easily leave him and had to be rescued. Obviously, nobody among the Arabs will admit to any terrorist support and the press, Israeli and foreign alike reports Arab lies as facts. Shouldn't Israeli journalists put at least some effort into real reporting off real news and not simply channel Arab lies and propaganda like some demented parrots?
21. CRAPPY MISLEADING REPORT
gabriela ben ari ,   Jerusalem   (07.03.08)
AS it is , yesteday I had the radio on for most of the day. Only once they broadcasted what happened when police went to the home of the terrorist to break the news. The woman that came out (his wife?) automatically sang in praise and started yelling in all directions "we have a shaid! ", all other people joined and sang joyfully as well Now comes Ynet and tries to fake a "shocked" neighbourhood for the reader in a desprate attempt to make us believe most arabs are peace living people, and the terrorist was "an isolated case". Wasn't my impresion. Ynet is more suicidal than the goverment. That's the leftist's mentallity n Israel. Since they don't believe neither in G-d nor in justice, they fill the vacum by adoring the god of appeasement. On top, I always say, a raper or a first grade murderer are on the same level and should be either killed, or rot in prison. HOW CHEAP a woman's life can get ? WHY do Jewish contractors hire Arabs and with that kind of background ? If we didn't see them passing candy in front of the camaras they probably celebrated privately with cheers and songs of praise as they did so well when they did not realize they were caught on tape MKs and people who voted for this "cetntral" governmet, please take notice of what YOU BROUGHT ABOUT
22. 'One terrorist does not prove extremism'
REP ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.03.08)
Yes it does!!!!! You liberals will never get the message. We're at war and they are being educated to kill and be killed.
23. The other terrorist was ALSO FROM THAT SAME CITY & his home
Miriam ,   Israel   (07.03.08)
was not destroyed. The terrorist that murdered 8 Mercaz Harav students was from there too. And what did the government do then? NOTHING! They didn't even destroy his home. If there's no "extremism" in that city, what's all that joy there?
24. to 13
samia ,   jerusalem   (07.03.08)
the report is not stupid .it is not analysis ,it is the truth and i think these people say exactly what they are feeling . it is not lies but the truth . but sure when the truth is hurt is better than you deny it or neglect it as you did in your post
25. to 20
lama ,   jerusalem   (07.03.08)
it is about aluling .. befor many years it is at 52 i was 3 years old . there was some problem in jerusalem and there were demonistration . one person from the nouber was killed by the jordanian soldiers , he was 15 years and he was so naughty and the only son to the parents . theb women from the family were dancing an aluling . i asked my mother .... why ... why .. it is not a happy accident . my mother replied with a sad smile .it is from sadness it is to feel high soule to bear the lost of their son . it is a custome to tell it is a shahid .. then she said god help them god help them and bless our children and keep them
26. Gabriela # 21
bar ,   Israel   (07.03.08)
Why do Jewish contractors hire Arabs you asked . The first reason , they do not find Jewish people . Jews prefer better jobs . The same reason why you find so much immigrants in Europe . Second reason , maybe cheaper ? But not necessarely , there are rules , and great contractors have to respect them . This is not a small contractor , not a "schiputsnik" [ look at the price tag for such an engine ] That kind of background : he served his prison term . A raper a life prison ? maybe , but we don't know why he served only two years .
27. criminal record; he built his house without permit
observer   (07.03.08)
a 50,000$ fine and house demolition would certainly make criminal out of any man. No building permit is allowed for Palestinians.
28. To Bret Allan- are you crazy? 2 years is high!
Helen   (07.03.08)
Rapists in this country are rarely sentenced, and if at all, 2 years would be seen as a significant result (over nothing at all) Sad but true.
29. #19
pete ,   bat yam   (07.03.08)
He did NOT marry his rape victim, he went to prison and when he got out he married an ARAB woman and had 2 kids with her. Rapists should not be allowed to have kids, rapists should be castrated and left to pee sitting down. You know bobbitized, sent to the Saudi Executioner to have his "weapon" chopped off, sent to have a guillotine remove it, the French made good use of that tool the Saudis make good use of their swords, the Brits used a gallows, and no one said boo, why can't we do this? What gfood did jail do when after him getting out he went to mass murder?
30. reporter shows DIFFERENTLY
