2. IDF shames the Jewish people
Al   (12.02.08)
The IDF has become a joke.. They are more intent on destroying Jewish life in Israel than protecting it.
3. The Politicization of The IDF Is A Disaster For Our Homeland
Adina Kutnicki ,   Israel,new olah   (12.02.08)
As a new olah, NOTHING shames me more than knowing that our supposed Jewish (citizen) army, and our police are busy persecuting Jews for living in their rightful homes. Those who opine that it is the Jews of Hebron who are the instigators are the same ones who want to see to it that Israel is no longer a Jewish state, but a state 'for all its citizens', devoid of any Jewish content. Therefore, any IDF head who comes to the defense of the marauding Arabs should hang his/her head in shame & cease pretending that his job is to protect our homeland.
4. Really?
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron Israel   (12.02.08)
Do you want us to believe, really believe all this nameless opinions collected by Efrat Weiss and her arab partner? Who in the army is coward enough to be ashamed of using his name to say this nasty things? Nobody! I can tell you that. This are the words of incitement through the usual lies. Shame on you!!!
5. Mr. Olmert dont blame the youth!!!!!!
Yosef ,   exile   (12.02.08)
the real shame is that the state of israel will send in its storm troppers to crack the skulls of innocent youth, the only hope for the land of israel.
6. The "senior military official's" comments are disgusting....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (12.02.08)
Let me get this straight....a 15 year old Jew has a fractured skull and is undergoing surgery in a Jerusalem hospital and he is a "disgrace" for "being there." While the "person" (and I use that term euphemistically) who fractured his skull with a rock escapes comment, but instead is entitled to a "calming envoy." That is simply disgusting. No wonder the Jews of Hevron are furious. They are being treated like shit.
7. RUBBER BULLITS
Frits ,   Israel   (12.02.08)
Were are the RUBBER BULLITS?? A small demonstration of Palestians and RUBBER BULLITS are used!! Damaging graveyards... One Jewisg graveyards is damaged in Europe,all the Hebrew papers will have this pictures on the FRONT-page!! This is the second time the Arab graveyard is damaged!! Kids of 15 years having PROGROMS on Arab houses at night!! Think the other way round: Arab kids are rioting in Hebron..it would be finished in one day!!
8. Shame on Kadima
(12.02.08)
9. no better
m ,   jerusalem   (12.02.08)
firstly what these rightest jews are doing are giving the rest of the jews around the world a bad name now you are no better than the palestinians, and you have proved that you can stoop low enough. In israel we have a democratic system that we follow we don't have to like the courts decision but we must obied by it because its the law. On top of all that they went in and desicrated a muslim cemetary if someone had done this to one of our cemetaries it would be called anti semetic. All we are asking is for you to think before you do something stupid because you are affecting the way people all over the world look at jews.
10. Message to the I.D.F. Spokesman
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
To Senior officer from Central Command too cowardly to give his Name: Bollocks to you .
11. To Jews: Roll Over And Die Quietly
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
Don't make waves,Don't make a fuss.
12. Mr. IDF
USA   (12.02.08)
Jewish gravestones are being desecrated all over the world. You need to understand that these boys are not sheep of yesteryear and they have pride in themselves. We have a rabi and his wife and four other Jews murdered in Mumbai because they were Jews, nobody is feeling any shame for this especialy not your precious Palestinians.
13. ITS TIME
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (12.02.08)
Time has come to no longer let our childeren serve in the IDF. The army is not used to protect its citizens and to destroy the enemy but to evict and police its Jewish citizens. As a political tool it has lost its mission , it is therefore become obsolete and will lose the next conflict without a doubt. Lebanon was not enough of a warning. The state has become an enemy to its own people.
14. This riot makes me ashame of IDF behaviour
trumpeldor ,   eurabia   (12.02.08)
15. Accept responsibility
Don ,   Michigan, USA   (12.02.08)
It is incredibly bad and sad that the right harbors so much hatred for the IDF. The idea of a Jewish State isn't that Jews don't have to follow the law. Israel provides many avenues short of attacking soldiers to get views heard and petition for redress. And those Jews who attack Arabs and deface mosques and cemeteries deserve to be locked up. I'm not worried as much about Jews getting a bad name, as I am about Jews doing bad things, and the victims of both Arab and Jewish violence.
16. Why doesnt Ynet reveal the name of this "senior officer"
Leo ,   USA   (12.02.08)
something is a little fishy. the israeli government (with the help of the media) is very busy fighting, arresting, jailing persecuting and ethnically cleansing Jews and stamping on their civil rights while giving free reign to terrorists and mass murderers - releasing them from jail, giving them land, $$$$, guns, free gas, electricity etc Is this Israel...the Jewish Homeland?
17. army behavior shames us as Jews
eliezer ,   jerusalem   (12.02.08)
the Israeli government behavior shames us as Israelis, What kind of garbage is Ynet giving us? Because the courts decide that a legal sale is not legal, because a court of law decides that Jews have no rights in Germany, because a few popes decided that Jews will all go to hell, because the gentiles may be watching, I am supposed to worry? Come on Ynet. This is pure political propaganda and you people should know better. What the army is saying is basically is that they are frightened that the Jews are upset with the anti-Semitic behavior of the radical liberal left and the constant castigation of the peaceful law abiding right. It is time for all peace loving and land of Israel loving Jews to demonstrate against a cruel and oppressive government.
18. JEWS EXILE JEWS!!!
al mann ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.02.08)
How long ago did the army exile Jews from their homes for the political purpose of HITNATKOOT? Was peace achieved? Did the rockets stop flying from Gaza? Did either Hamas or the other groups give up on conquering Israel? We are so sickly moral that it is to our detriment. We only give and get nothing in return. We are immoral to the world because Gaza is cut off. Yet, the immoral world allows rockets to shoot and kill. India is a late example. WHO CARES??? WHO MAKES THE RULES???
19. IDF protects palestinians THIS IS the real shame !
(12.02.08)
20. so...the IDF throwing people out of their
JL ,   israel   (12.02.08)
homes is ok...the IDF had become an organization run by the dispicable
21. Moslems Can Slaughter A Thousand
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
Jews ,but a few young tearaway hothead settlers draw graffiti on Mosques,which I do NOT condone by the way,and it is called the crime of the century.You are all bloody mental...
22. The Hunchback Can Not See The Hump
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
on his back,only the defects in others....(old yiddish expression).
23. Army Should Be Fighting
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
Hamas and Hizbollah ,not chasing 15 year old boys and girls ,wild and unruly though they may be.
24. "JEWISH" ... both sides act upon being JEWS
avi   (12.02.08)
"jewish" has no more meaning, like "zionist" !
25. #9: Poor Islamist baby - your plan backfired, huh?
5th generation ,   Israel   (12.02.08)
And all this time your campaigns were based on Jews being held to a higher standard - being the humans among animals, caring about cemeteries, children, suffering - so you don't have to. Well, we've one-upped you once again.
26. IDF SHAMES JEWS AND ISRAEL.IDF SHOULD CRY AND BEG FOGIVENESS
OLMERT TORE ISRAEL ,   ..............DACON9   (12.02.08)
OLMERT BARAK LIVNI SARON DESTRYOERS OF ISRAEL
27. The I.D.F. shames us as Jews!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.02.08)
By defending the arab enemy. By carrying out the orders of this soon to be gone coalition. By not returning fire in the western Negev. And most of all the border patrol shames us. They are supposed to be patrolling the border and not evicting Jews. I hope the next government disbands them and tries each of them for participating in the war against the Jews. They are part of a private army of any left wing government and are used to put down Jewish demonstrations.
28. Who is this senior IDF military officer?
Steve ,   US   (12.02.08)
What is the name of the senior IDF officer who issued "a harshly-worded assault on behavior of right-wing extremists in case of disputed West Bank house slated for eviction?" Why doesn't YNet provide him an identity and a name unless perhaps he wants to go unnamed? Why doesn't this senior IDF officer proudly reveal his name to the entirety of Israel?
29. # 15 Call Me Soft But I Cannot
Lawrence Tendler ,   Safed Israel   (12.02.08)
Stomach anybody defacing Mosques or Cemeteries.Even if this can be argued to be a necessary evil in the 100 year plus conflict between arabs and jews.Desecrating cemeteries has too many negative connotations for me.However,what is upsetting for people is the Government of the Jewish State systematically harassing its Jewish citizens aka The Settlers.If I am not wrong,the house which is contested by the govt.was legally purchased and this was upheld in the court of law.Everybody here in Israel,and I speak as a relative newcomer,is as mad and extreme as everybody else,we just can not see it.What is sorely needed is Ahavat Hinam,or unrestricted love of ones' fellow and not Sinat Hinam Hate without good reason,because of which the second Temple was destroyed.
30. always stunned by talkbacks that support these bad kids
charicleia ,   USA   (12.02.08)
Are those who post these hate messages in response to efforts to impose decent human behavior on Jews aware at all that they are constantly breaking Jewish law -- praising violence, inciting to riot, contempt for fellow human beings? They shame us all, not just the IDF
