1. Whose country is this, anyway?
Jared ,   New York, USA   (10.10.08)
It's getting hard to tell.
2. Expel the Arabs before they get majority and will expel us.
e.m.Jordan is Palest ,   s.f   (10.10.08)
Expel them before it will get civil war, Expel them before they will bring disastrous to us, expel them and do not let Israel will be like Lebanon and Kuwait and Iran and France.
3. why was he walking his dog ?
observer   (10.10.08)
hasn't it come to his knowledge that a man risked more than three human lives by just intending to walk his own daughter to his own home?
4. They take the law in their own hands
Scott ,   Haifa   (10.10.08)
Because the government does not do it for them. The real story was that the fights started when the Arabs were desecrating Yom Kippur by driving through and playing loud music. What would happen if a Jew did that to Arabs on Ramadan?
5. EXACTLY #4 . JUST TELL US "HOW" THIS STARTED?
(10.10.08)
What a disgraceful episode. Not just the grubby arabs - the weak politicians reaction is sickening. For Livni the unelected PM : Appeasement begins at home.
6. #4 they will share music with him, and dance
(10.10.08)
7. #4
tiddly winks   (10.11.08)
Riiight. So if it was Ramadan and the Palestinians demanded that all Jews stop driving their cars and make no noise at all, you would all obey? And if one of you drove your cars with the radio on that would justify a group of Arabs stoning your car and beating you up and you wouldn't be crying persecution? Give me a break you rabid, illogical, yapping chihauhaus.
8. Arabs should know!
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.08)
'The Land of Israel 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
9. Take Back Your Country
Dan ,   USA   (10.11.08)
The biginning of the end for any country is when it fails to protect its own citizens. In the U.S. our government has failed to protect those U.S. citizens who live in our southwest. Mexican crooks, drug dealers and other aliens have invaded U.S.towns close to the Mexican boarder and neither Bush, nor our Congress has the will to stop them And Obama certainly will not stop them. The Democratic party knows these people will be allowed to vote Democratic even if they are not U.S. citizens and the Republican party is affraid to do anything about this for fear they will be labled as racists. The far left will do the same in Israel and Israel's decline will continue. Unless Israeli citizens take back control of their country from the far left, there will be no Jewish country left in the mid east. Israel will be over run by Arabs without a war ever happening.
10. Let me understand
Arie ,   BaGolan   (10.11.08)
Arabs throw stones at Jews, so police arrest Jews. More fallout of the 1%er regime led by the olmert kapos of kadima
11. It just doesn't work
ben Ish   (10.11.08)
This policy of appeasement, gestures and bending over for arabs has accomplished what? No respect whatsoever for us. Of course the people have given up on government. We don't even have an elected PM, but oh -thats ok, right?- This is why there are riots: the arab community spits on us, and the government and police do nothing. If an arab will support Israel then fine, but ANYONE who chooses to oppose Israeli or Jewish interests whatsover should be shipped out immediately. What is the point in having state, when the state supports only those opposed to having it? Palestine is Jordan, and all of you can just go home now, thank you.
12. Observer, u're vision is cloudy!
on the seen ,   Akko, Israel   (10.11.08)
As a first hand observer to what is going on here in Akko I can assure u that no man risked 3 people's lives to "walk his daughter home". The Arab was driving at high speeds and in an irresponsible manner, swerving the whole way through a crowded street, filled with Jews observing Yom Kippur. Everyone was positive the Arab was trying to run over people as he charged towards a group of girls. Mini buses filled with Arabs from the old city soon arrived into the Jewish neighborhood and started smashing hundreds of car windows, houses, and shops in the city. Despite all the chaos, people still leave there houses and roam the streets freely. After all, Jews should never be afraid in their own Jewish country. However, today the problem escalated when stones were thrown from the balcony down into the streets from an Arab house of Mashtapim. You see observer, things are a lot different when u experience them first hand. I hope I cleared up u'r cloudy vision.
13. Dont call them "youth",these are Israeli gipsies,do they sudy at all?
Adnan ,   Southern Europe   (10.11.08)
14. Whose country is this? Speaking from NY NY, I'd say
jack ,   richmond, va us   (10.11.08)
it is our country without regard to religon, race, ethnicity. Our country belongs to all of its citizens. Israel does as well as most other modern countries. There are not many peasants remaining in the world.
15. Jews should be armed for self protection!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.11.08)
All Jews that served in the I.D.F. should be given an assault rifle and a half dozen magazines. When there is a pogrom by arabs we can stop it in a very short time. No police, no border guards and no army. Let the people be responsible for their safety,no else is.
16. Untill the Jews act like guests in Israel there will be
Frank ,   USA   (10.11.08)
trouble. By allowing the Arabs to get away with it the Jews demonstrate their weakness.
17. #8 they are not leaving because they get too
Michael ,   USA   (10.11.08)
many benefits from the dumb Jews. Can they get an excellent medical care from their brothers? NO. Can they get the best education in Yemen, Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan, etc? NO. ....and why should they when the Jews are the best providers of benefits and they also take the beating...
18. The Jewish tolerance has turned into the Jewish stupidity
Danny ,   USA   (10.11.08)
You cannot expect any respect from those who hate the Jews. The adversaries inside Israel keep antagonizing and provoking the Jews of Israel with total impunity. So, whay are you shocked when they forget civility and you continue to tolerate their vile acts?
19. to diaspora; are you still calling it your country?
observer   (10.11.08)
a state of racism and apartheid? do you believe your dreams have come true?
20. #19 = Antisemite
observer (honest)   (10.11.08)
Nothing new here with this knee jerk reaction to everything happening in Israel. Never seem to find fault with anything Arb settlers do like recent Arb savages deadly attacks in Jerusalem or Schalit still being held in captivity with not even minimal family contact.
21. #19 the Antisemite Arb settlers must be disturbed this Frida
observer (honest)   (10.11.08)
#19 the Antisemite Arb settlers must be prevented this Friday from attending Mosque as they never respect others holy days pf prayers.
22. #19, the blind and deaf observer
observer (honest)   (10.11.08)
23. 2 way respect for religions?
Sam ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.08)
Scott. So you don't eat or drink in the streets during Ramadan out of respect for the Arabs living in Haifa - or is their hypocracy going on?
24. on the seen
Sam ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.08)
I don't believe you are writing from Akko
25. damn.
jerusalem   (10.11.08)
why were jewish youths assembling in the first place in the east side?
26. #4, it did happen; approx. 3-4 times, this ramadan.
jerusalem   (10.11.08)
about the loud music. i dont think that they care if u drive around in a car though. anyway, the result to all that was i bet you that you havent even heard of protesting from arab side. and they were playing loud jewish music during prayers, trying to drown the prayers
27. #19 Yes, enemy, it is our land
Bill ,   USA   (10.11.08)
28. The Beilinists want to destroy Israel. The Jewish liberalism
Barry ,   USA   (10.11.08)
makes no sense whatsoever. The Arabs lynched 2 Jews when they entered Ramallah on by mistake. If a Jew entered an Arab neighborhood with an intention to provoke just like that Arab provoked the Jews he/she would be cut in pieces right on the spot.
29. Come on, curfew time already!
Joe Sittizen ,   Jerusalem   (10.11.08)
Time for a curfew, arrest anybody out in the street after sundown. Hold them for a month, release them on 20000 shekels bail that is only returned if they stay out of trouble for the next 3 months. If the rioting continues during daytime, then declare daytime curfews in those neighborhoods as well. Zero tolerance for this kind of crap.
30. # 15 Jason
Sagi ,   Israel   (10.11.08)
As you have probably noticed by now I am extremely right wing and secular. Jason, anarchy is not the way, it is a very dangerous ideology and would lead to our international isolation and our eventual downfall. I agree that we should have solved our Arab problem years ago, but it is still not too late and it is very simple. Every citizen of this country, no matter of what origin or creed should be made to undertake an oath of allegiance, those who refuse would be obligated to surrender their documents and forego their citizenship and bid us farewell on a one way ticket. No country in the world or organization would be able to condemn such an implementation as it would be the epitome of fairness and decency, might I add, for both sides. We would be rid of those whom we believe to be undesirable and those who go would be rid of us whom they consider to be undesirable. Simple solution for all.
