31. #28 - Keren, please, clarify, what "SP" stands for?
Just curious   (01.30.09)
32. #31 It stands for São Paulo
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (01.30.09)
33. They came to fight not to leave chocolate
Ilan ,   Ariel   (01.30.09)
It was not like they were invited to a bed and breakfast and asked to leave a gift. This was a war and this was a way to blow off some steam. It wasn't a nice thing to do, but it is stupid to expect to send them to kill Hamas, but not to write on their walls.
34. He is not as dead as you think
Gideon Reader   (01.30.09)
Ypip in Canada#30 Responding to your question, about what happened to Killroy.He was wounded, or killed defending europeans in a war they allowed to occur through their usual cowardice.He was discharged from hospital, or sent home in a box, or was buried someplace in one of the european nations he left his home and family for, he was demobed from the army and went home to build a life. Killroy was the face of the non-person peering over the fence or wall, hanging on by his fingertips and nose, getting a glimpse of the horrifying present and a possible future; who represented everyone's sacrifice in trying to free a world and save the remaining scraps. He never quite came home. Poor Killroy does have a Jewish cousin, a citizen of Israel who does his duty in the IDF. His name is "Shmulik", and he has been to Gaza. Shmulik gets jumped on when he relieves his frustration or anger or loathing, by scribbling some doggerel or graffiti. All in all not to bad a trade. Some letters for a IED.
35. graffiti
motherland   (01.30.09)
why moan about a little graffiti if idf has apparently killed 1200 civilians. everything that comes out of those iranian rent boys mouths is a lie
36. #10...mohammad
JL ,   israel   (01.30.09)
i have lived in israel 30 years and never ever heard anyone ask someone to not speak in arabic...your a liar....like most of you seem to be
37. so ynet...
JL ,   israel   (01.30.09)
this graffitti proves we are not up to yours or hamas lofty standards?...maybe this should be used in the war crimes law suits that the europeans will start...im sure ynet and haaretz will run to provide them with such damning evidence of zionists crimes such as this
38. True or not ...
leo ,   USA   (01.30.09)
... does not matter. I see reaction of people here who either do not believe it can be true (which is possible of cause) or are embarrassed by it (and rightfully so). Then I see reaction on Lebanese or Palestinian blogs to even more hateful talk and I see cheers and unquestionable support. Guys, do not worry. We are fine.
39. morals
Christiane   (01.30.09)
Neverheard of an army being so incredibly moralistic. They teach their children to hate Jews from age 1 and Israel spends time on grafittit against their enemy!!!!!! IDF amazes me!!!!!! I am in love!!! I want to marry a soldier from IDF!! They are also so handsome!!! AAAAH!!
40. IN ISRAEL: "DEATH TO JEWS IS OK" BUT "DEATH TO ARABS NOT OK"
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.30.09)
41. There are Gazans who know Hebrew & can write
Zvi   (01.30.09)
42. If, G-D forbid, the events were reversed
Allan ,   US   (01.30.09)
and it was Hamas that was writing the graffitti I can assure you that they would not have used crayons and ink. They would have use the blood of their victims.
43. There are Gazans who know Hebrew & can write
Pallywood sucks ,   Germany   (01.30.09)
There are Gazans who know Hebrew & can write that´s the point. Don´t believe into Pallywood lies!
44. to # 29: Maybe............
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (01.30.09)
45. Jees get a grip it is just graffitti
Debbie ,   Toronto   (01.30.09)
Letting off a little steam. You see graffitti on walls all the time. I don't pick up the phone and call the cops
46. Debbie, #45
(01.30.09)
Debbie, If someone scribbled a swasitka on the door of your house, would you call the police? I sure hope you would. Basically you're saying it's ok for a Neo-Nazi to burn off a 'little steam' and write the same about Jews on a Jewish home.
47. What's the big deal? I don't get it
Alexander ,   Herzliya, Israel   (01.30.09)
Arabs and other non Arab Muslims are polluting cities in Europe and Israel with anti-Jewish graffiti every single year hundreds of thousands of times, so what's the big deal if some IDF soldiers want to have some fun? If I would kidnap a Hamas terrorist, I would tattoo the message on his ass. But I wouldn't kiss his ass for hygienic reasons...
48. #2 Thanks...Ynet...thanks for publishing it!!!!
Maria ,   MD   (01.31.09)
49. #46 Do you really believe that?
Maria ,   MD   (01.31.09)
Probably written by a Hebrew speaking Palestinian.
50. Christiane....I wish my daughter could marry
Maria ,   MD   (01.31.09)
an IDF Jew.Aaaah,but she's only 13...aaaah!!!!Don't you worry it's not a bad one.I support Israel myself. http://www.conceptwizard.com/info.html
51. graffiti
Tom from Canada ,   Edmonton Canada   (01.31.09)
with 5000 dead and wounded Palestinians, you write about wiping off graffiti? Did you clean up the blood as well?
52. to #36
Chuck ,   USA   (01.31.09)
You proved number ten right. You called him a liar when you were'nt there when it happened to him. How do you know it did'nt . You are a racist.
53. I'll tell you how stupid
Lee Kaplan ,   BErkeley,CA   (01.31.09)
The ISM routinely writes graffiti in ENglish against Arabs in YEsha then says the settlers did it. No doubt some IDF soldiers may ahve done this, but an army that punishes soldiers for this pety crap but can't get GIlad Shalit freed is an army from Chelm.
54. to 19* and to 36* and to other ppl that commented
mohannad   (02.01.09)
1st of all to 19* i dont know if you a zionist or a just a tourist, if you are a tourist then, as you know we have our own tradistion and culture and you should respect it, we dont kiss our wives in the streets, that of course dont go to all arabs, am talking about the extrimest and personaly i dont have a prob with that. 2nd, arabs say Death to zionism and not death to the jews, and there a HUGE differance betwen jews and zionists, zionist dont have a problem killing children and womens in gaza, jews will never do that, jews lived in palastine way before it was occupied, and we lived peacfully, and ofcourse other differances, that i can talk about when you are ready to listen and stop being brainwashed by the media. 3rd, to 36* 1st of all my name is Mohanad and not mohammad, so am writing this now and not being sure if you can read or understand what i type. am not a lier and i dont need to lie, ofcourse you wont hear that, you a are a zionist why would they say such thing to you?you dont even speak arabic, sit in a bus and watch how the palastinens being treated, and am not just talking about the ones living in gaza or west bank. am talking abou the ones living among you. why we get checked and must take our clothes off, when you can pass without any problem? why the ones there tear our bags althout its clear that we dont carry anything?. if you live in jerusalem, go to the man bus station there and just sit and watch what happen everyday. and then come and tell me that am a lier.
