1. Kol Ha kavod to them!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.24.09)
The NORMAL practice must be we to go wherever we want in Israel without any worries. If not,those who are blocking our way must leave our country.
2. do stupid thing, receive the reward of stupidity
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.24.09)
just like palestinian children who willingly go to a war zone: when you put yourself in danger and something bad happens, you just showed the world that you have no common sense. so if misfortune befalls marzell and co., we'll at least get a good laugh and jokes from it for time to come.
3. We should demand the same from Borough Park
Candida ,   NYC   (03.24.09)
Time to demand loyalty in US too!
4. Demand loyalty to the state from the Charideem
Avi ,   Rannana   (03.24.09)
How about marching to Meir Shareem and Bnei Brak and Ramt Beit Shemesh and demanding loyalty to the state of Israel from the ultra orthadox. The very people that burn Israeli flags on Independence day, carry on with their duties when the siren for our fallen soldiers on remberence day, the very same people who do not work, do not pay taxes and do not serve in the army. So if these fanatics are looking for loyalty to state i suggest they sort out there own house first before marching in to Arab towns inciting hatred and violence.
5. "Fear of violent clashes in rightists' march"
Matityahu ,   Slovenia   (03.24.09)
But the article says that the leftist activists were throwing things at them. hm...
6. left wingers????
ghostq   (03.24.09)

7.  to nr 1
MIKE VAN HARRIS ,   ANTWERP BELGIUM   (03.24.09)
THIS IS ONLY TO PROVOKE THE ARAB POPULATION OF THE CITY. YOU PEOPLE DO NOT UNDERSTAND ONLY THE LANGUAGE OF BLOD. YOUR TIME WILL COME AND I HOPE SOON.
8. To #2 Mike
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (03.24.09)
Hi Mike, This is not a stupid thing! This is about stating that in ANY part within Israel, specially in places considered on the right side of the infamous Green Line, the Israeli flag must be risen with no problems and without feeling that as a provocation. It is simple, or Um El-Fahem is inside Israel or it is outside Israel, if it's outside they have no rights, social security, medical care, nothing, that MUST be clear and is there choice. This is not racism, this is simply not giving up part of your country.
9. salah and Zahalka - you're digging your OWN graves!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.24.09)
10. What Netaniahy should really do is:
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.24.09)
Resolv this ABSURD matter in the Knesset!. It is incredible not to be able to walk freely in Israel. THIS TOWN SHOULD HAVE all BENEFITS CUT OFF. Nobody in Israel should employ people from this town.Police stations should be there to enforce the law. Organized Jewish groups should start going there and Jewish settlements iniciated. IS IT THAT HARD TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS AN ENEMY STATE INSIDE OURS,AND ITS SHORT AND LONG TERM DANGER TO OUR OWN SURVIVING? DO WE WANT A GAZA INSIDE????
11. I feel for the shoes. what an indignation for them.
jerusalem   (03.24.09)
12. # 1 Karen do join them why dont you
Avi ,   Rannana   (03.24.09)
I presume you will be supporting your brothers and joining the march? Dont forget to wave to the cameras. We are all so proud of you,.
13. Hope theres marches like this daily
(03.24.09)
14. wadi ara
ari   (03.24.09)
give it to the palestinians in exchage for lands in the west bank...
15. 8 - ideally, yes
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (03.24.09)
but go in a muslim city in order to provoke? stupid. just like gay jews who want to march in religious neighborhoods, or anyone walking around tel aviv's old central bus station at night = dumb. sure, you can do it, it's a free country. but if someone doesn't have any more sense than that, then they should gladly accept whatever happens as a result of their foolishness. i feel sorry for the police who have to keep order, but if any of the marchers get hit in the face with a rock? that's good comedy.
16. #4 Ari: Why Not? Because This Is A Jewish State
Brana Lobel ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
Because Haredim are Jews and we are a klal. Because Israel is the home of the Jews. Because Israel is not simply a "democracy" like various states of the goyim but has a character of it's own and that charater is Jewish. Because many if not most Arabs residing in Israel actively want to see the downfall of the Jewish state, and if they don't are subject to harassment and even murder themselves. Because this is our holy land; we are not here by accident and this is not Uganda. Because as many posters have stated it is ridiculous for Jews not to be able to walk freely in our own country. Because we as Jews and Israelis need to get our priorities straight and support one another even though we might not agree on all matters.
17. let's face it...this was much ado about nothing!
(03.24.09)
18. MARCH OF FLAGS
ANGELINA ,   HOLON ISRAEL   (03.24.09)
TO KEREN- YOU ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LOOK FOR TOUBLE. ANYONE CAN WALK ANWHERE IN ISRAEL. WHYMAKE A PROTEST OF IT.. YOU ARE LOOKING FOR TROULE YOU WILL FIND IT AND DESEVE IT.
19. The nerve
Ellen ,   USA/Israel   (03.24.09)
Walk in any Israeli city or town and you see Israeli Arabs in the stores, on the streets--walking, shopping, sitting in cafes etc. When I go to the Canyon--they are there, when I go to a small clothing store--they are there, when I go to the supermarkedt, they are there--when I sit having a meal in a restaurant--they are there! AND they sit unmolested, unbothered functioning freely as any Jew in Israel does. Yet, when a Jew wants to go to an Arab city--all hell breaks loose. The hypocrites. Who is racist? Who provokes. Keren, #10--you are so right!!
20. WADI ARA
ANGELINA ,   HOLON ISRAEL   (03.24.09)
NO 14. ANOTHER STUPID WARAMONGER. LEAVE THE RESIDENTS ALONE. IF YOU PROVOKE SO SHALL YOU REAP.
21. Marching with a flag
Nili ,   Jerusalem   (03.24.09)
These people get benefits, medical care, jobs and whatever--they have no right to stop the Israeli Flag. To #4: There is a small group of Charedim who do not acknowledge the state, But, they do not accept welfare, medical, or any other benefit from the state. They even have their own buses. And there are tourist bums who go to their soup kitchens and eat their food. Learn your facts!
22. THE DEATH OF THE TREASONOUS LEFT IS SURE TO COME SOON!!!
ISRAELI LEFT IS THE ,   ENEMY!   (03.24.09)
23. SUCH EVENT IS SCANDALOUS
MICHAEL ,   JERUSALEM   (03.24.09)
ITS ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS TO SEE ARABS OPEN THEIR MOUTH ON THE JEWISH LAND G.D BLESS MARZEL AND ALL JEWS THAT BELIEVE IN HIS TORAH AND ERETZ ISRAEL. MAY G.D HELP THE LEFTIST OPEN THEIR EYES AND ARABS UNDERSTAND THAT WE ARE NOT IN 1431 BUT 5769. AMEN
24. 16 - It's ok because this is a Jewish State?
Jerry   (03.24.09)
So Rabbis who commit pedophilia against non-Jews can do it because they are Jews and are a klal, right? No wonder Israel is becoming more and more like the Arabs you belittle.
25. #18 You are a lier!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.24.09)
That's absolutely not true that "anyone can walk anywhere in Israel." Or you never go out of your block in your town,or you are an ill intentioned person. Angelina is not even a Jewish name.You must be one of the many cases cheating Israel pretending to be Jew to suck us and knife us in the back. Jews CAN NOT walk freely wherever we want IN OUR COUNTRY!
26. #21 Very right ,Nili!
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.24.09)
And these bums who bash Haredim are nothing else than simpletons who have received ,very passively, the long term brainwashing treatment Left has been giving to them. They are the types who fight for animals rights and hug trees and make happy gatherings against global warming in the parking lot full of cars of their clubs or ,in most cases ,of their slums(well,in Israel there are no slums,but I mean sort of...you understand me)! Ah,and who buy the finest clothing and parfums to their pets!
27. Police MUST Move Freely in Umm al-Fahm !!
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (03.24.09)
Quote :”“But all we are doing is wave the Israeli flag. All we are demanding is loyalty to the State, and that the police will be able to move freely and enforce the law. We are not here to provoke or expel anyone."” What is this that the Police can not move freely and enforce the law in Umm al-Fahm ? The Police MUST be able to move freely in Umm al-Fahm in order to enforce the law !! MUST !! OTHERWISE, it looks like as if Umm al-Fahm has become a pirates nest, an abode of thieves, a place where State rule is absent. And that can NOT be allowed in Israel !! And what is this nonsense that Israeli flags are not allowed in Umm al-Fahm ?! Israeli flags MUST be waving in Umm al-Fahm !! MUST !! Muhammad Talas said :” This is a sad day for me.” A sad day ?! To be asked to wave the Israeli flag -- you say it is a sad day ??! To be asked to be loyal to the State of Israel -- you say it is a sad day ??! To be asked to follow the orders of the Police -- you say it is a sad day ??! This NONSENSE that is going on in Umm al-Fahm MUST stop !!
28. #10 Keren, GREAT Posts, all of them. Thank you.
Marcella   (03.24.09)
29. It was a dumb idea all around
America   (03.24.09)
One of the Arab protestors complained about the police's policy. "What can I say? You see for yourselves how the police defend the settlers instead of defending the city's residents." Defending the city's residents was not necessary if the only thing that occured was marching with a flag. If the protestors had left the stones on the ground instead of throwing them at the marchers, there would have been no need to defend the marchers. Next time, the protestors should carry placards and excercise their freedom of speech instead of resorting to violence, no matter how repugnant they feel towards the Rightists.
30. 28Ithank you too for yours,Marcella.I always read when you
