Interesting term used to describe the problem of Jews and their children buying houses to live in. Not so long ago, there was a discussion in Europe of how to solve the question of "Judaisation". What solution does journalist Yigal Sarna have for this question?

Every time I hear this word, especially used by Arabs ( Erekat, for example) in terms of Jerusalem. How disgusting! It sounds as if Jews are some kind of rats or cockroaches! Blind hatred!

" . .about the settlers that are growing more numerous . " Since when are the Jewish residents of Acco considered settlers? If so, then all the Arab residents of Tel Aviv, Netanya, and Haifa will of course volunteer to move to "Palestine" if they ever do get a state. But they won't. Life for them is 1000% better among the settlers of Acco and Haifa, then with their bretheren in Nablus. Same thing for every Arab in Jerusalem, who would kick and scream before handing over the blue ID cards and becoming "Palestinians," instead of Israeli Arabs. Biggest hypocrites around. They are LUCKY to live in Israel and they know it.

war of the poor.Uneduacted backwood people with no culture,with nothing else too do,but create violence and destuction.Religion is mans worst enemy and this proves it.

What a shame Mr. Sarna, I'm the first one to agree with your assessment. How about doing the right thing, sell your house and your liberal friends houses and help the "poor" Arabs, or better, give your house to an impoverished Arab family, then you can come out on YNET and talk about the "judaization" and "settlerification" of Akko. Be a Man do something concrete!

Arabs live in Israel not because the state is doing them a favour but because they have the right to live in their homeland. this is the place where they were born and their ancestors lived.

Actually, Dina, the ancestors of most of the non-Bedouin Moslim Israeli Arabs moved to Israel between 1912 and 1948 from Syria, Lebanon and Iraq. But that is beside the point. Arabs may choose not to be citizens, in which case they should move elsewhere. If they choose to be citizens they must abide by the laws. Maybe it is a stupid law, but in Israel participating in racist riots, screaming "Slaughter the Jews" destroying cars and shops owned by Jews and blinding a praying boy is illegal.

This was a great article thanks!!! as it shows exactly what is going on in this world in the moment and in israel yo have it all- it is not baout the clash of civilisaitons it is hte clash about the poeple that carry the counsciousness of peace and love and those who have so much fear that they prefare to stay in aggression and hate- it is the clash between cooperation and hatred, between an old world and a new world and the division is not between nations and religions but between people holding onto old believe systems because they fear change to the better that would releas any drama but as your collegue at ynetnews wrote twice here recently people all over the world love drama, so they constantly create it.

Do you mean uneducated and backward? But you do have a point Eric.

Interestingly I have seen a lot of common sense coming from this "unenlightened" people and surprising stupidity, obtusenes and self defeteasim, I would say lack of stamina, from the elites or at least the the ones who see themselves as intellectuals or enlightened.

A privileged elite writing from his ivory tower about all those underprivileged poverty stricken masses having at each other. How quaint, and predictable.
