you hate so much? And so close to Rosh HaShana? It is NOT religious people setting fires to their OWN fields on Shabbat! I think you need to get a grip and go visit Right-wingers rather than spew what your told from your friends. Poor soul...still shabbat shalom and shana Tova umetuka.

internal sec and the justice min is to protect the nation of Israel from left wing anti Zionist groups. They should investigate where they are getting their money. Why they are aiding the enemy and how to try them. barak is just an uneffective min of def and the min of internal sec is alsoa failure,but it is his job to investigate. Finally most Jews would like to see these left wing traitors deported from Israel and many would not mind seeing them dead.

He incited the Palestinians to direct terror attacks against Jewish settlements. He incited the IDF to use tanks to obliterated settlements. What' do you call that? Freedom of speech?

The writer is very naive.Since when does the egomaniac do his job.Barak knows how to run when jobs are tough.He knows how to arrange that he keeps his seat.He was kicked out for being a useless prime minister He ran from lebenon Barak is still waiting for a little courage to stop the rockets from hamasland.Barak is presently fighting to remain in government with the weak leftest livni Barak is known to be a yellow coward. And you want him to do his job Laughing in the rains of summer in Israel Thats when barak will do his job

and frankly not at the top.

I agree that this is a problem but we dont deal with much more serious problems than this with any kind of tenacity. Why should this be different?Its because you are a leftist. The leftists causind violence at the wall protests, are they a problem?

Where is the outcry by the Israeli government against some Left Wing groups and them taking foreign government money. Who is protecting these groups from scrutiny. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com/

You see, the problem is that the left takes isolated incidents and really works them. Did the police cathc the culprit? No. But blame has already been placed. Let's face it, if there is an oppressive fascism in Israel it is left wing. And if there are acts of terrorism, arabs are doing them. Ooops. Sorry. Those are not nationalaist acts. Merely angry acts of unrequited love. To all left wingers, get a grip on reality.

Since biblical times, Judea and Samaria are part of Israel.....there is no Palastine! They are the FACTS! Another ridiculous leftist article demonizing the settlers. If you want Barak to do the job he is supposed to do, then lets get rid of the bogus Palastinian terrorists! They are the threat to Israels existence.... not the settlers like you try to portray! The settlers are Israels true heroes as they are the only ones trying to get back what was stolen from us in the first place! The left make me sick and are a pack of hypocrites that deny the facts!

Especially in Billin each week !

No surprise here.

Theres a reason the police and idf like the settlers.. they take part in a big part of the securty of israel and they love them back.

What Glows on the Dark and sings " All my Troubles seem so Far away" ? Sir Paul McCartney after an Iranian Nuclear attack on Tel-Aviv ,but no matter...more important to defend against the real Enemy by being up some religious fellow jews,a.k.a. "Settlers".

I thought the title was referring to the upcoming Iranian Holocaust and frying of millions of Israelis,but I was mistaken.Another boring piece of drivel about ...THE SETTLERS.Anyway ,Barak is far too busy playing the bigshot businessman to take anything seriously.

Well known that they acquired them on the black market from former Soviet union.But sleep well,you can always hate your fellow Jew ..that will save you all.When Ahmadinejad talks of a 'Big surprise" for Israel ,he knows what he is talking about.But don't take my word for it,ask Mossad.

Those Naughty Settlers ,they are bullying my poor mikey ...aah.They are bad boys those right-wing boys ,you mustn't play with them anymore.Come here,mummy make you feel better poor mikey .

Suddenly Mankin protests when someone allegedly placed a bomb near Mr. Sternhell, causing no damage. Where was Mankin when a soldier was blinded? Where was Mankin when a nine-year old boy was stabbed? Why couldn't Mankin protest when a family was almost incinerated in their home? Apparently Mankin believes that only those who think like him have a right to live.

I though SternHell supported bombing soldiers and civilians? Or only as long as the bombers aren't Jewish?

Whoever provides moral and logistical support to Terrorists is just as responsible as the Terrorists themselves.

Even though we live in an insane environment in this country.

How about Mankin and his Friends campaigning against the Mafia Families in Netanya and giving "The Settlers" a break.Or is he Too afraid?

The claims of the rightwinger whiners here -- none of whom condemn the bombing of Sternhell, naturally, and some of whom libel him -- are as follows: 1) The Left gets money from abroad. Answer: The settlers gets more money from abroad -- only they get it from Christian fundamentalists. This, in addition to the mega shekalim they get from the Israeli taxpayers. 2) The Left supports terrorism. Answer: A lie; the Left condemns all terrorism, Palestinian and Jewish. Apparently, many of the commenters support Jewish terrorism. 3) Jews are also hurt and killed by Palestinians. True, but irrelevant, because the statistics overwhelmingly favor the Palestinians when it comes to suffering -- on any and all fronts. More Palestinian babies killed; more children killed; more property taken away; more injuries. And only one side has total control over the other. You want to switch with them ? I doubt it. There is no symmetry here. 4) The Leftwingers also commit violence against the right. Uh, examples? Numbers of rightwingers shot at by leftists? Bombings by leftists? Assassinations of prime ministers by leftists? Eggs and tomatoes thrown by leftists? Harrassment of protesters by leftists? Where are the rightwing human rights activists? Or are only Jews "human" (atem keruyim adam...) As for Bilin -- let's see what the settlers do on the West Bank when the army starts using live ammunition on them. And to compare a hidden pipe bomb against a civilian with even rocks against riot police and soldiers -- which I also oppose -- is truly sick.... But what is most pathetic is that despite the fact that the Zionist consensus has been in power for the last sixty years -- and is mostly rightist, including the Kadima party, and to a large extent the Labor party -- and despite the fact that the rightwingers call the shots (literally) on the West Bank -- they still whine about the leftists, who lack the political clout of the right. And some of their extremists (obviously a small number) still are active in terrorism, despite the fact that they have almost everything they want. 5. Puerile comments by rightwing kids with access to internet. Nothing I can answer there...there are children masqueradings ad rightwing bigots all over the globe.

Today a Border Policeman was assaulted by Jewish "anarchist" terrorists who broke his leg with rocks. Mankin has not condemned this action. Do you? Or do you justify it? As for "settlers". Those you call "settlers" invariably live on government-owned land. Where do you live? As for your comment #4: have you ever heard of Amona?

Typical of the rightests. Have an opinion differing from theirs, it's OK to kill them just as rabin was murdered. Jake, is it freedom of speech you decry or is it lack of freedom to murder whomever disagrees with your warped mind?

Barak and Dichter. Barak is Minister of Defense and Dichter is Public Security Minister. What has placing a pipe bomb outside the home of Professor Ze'ev Sternhell got to do with Barak? Amos Oz, A.B. Yehoshua and Mordechai Kremnitzer, signed a petition calling the Israeli Police to enforce law in Hebron and to return the Breaking the Silence tours to Hebron. The above refer to the "Israeli Police" but it's a seemingly a difficult distinction for Mankin to make. Mike

The rightists are taking over the world! Proof? There are still settlers in Yesha! Mr Mankin: logic is very useful in the real world, but loses accuracy in the reality vacuum you inhabit.
