31. Proverbs 9:7-This is all a really stupid business. Do . . .
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (03.24.09)
Do you want the Muslims parading through Rehavia in Jerusalem?
32. Avi #4 - summed it up nicely!
Sharon ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (03.24.09)
You summed it up nicely - I couldnt agree with you more
33. It's an issue of practicing civil disobedience responsibly
America   (03.24.09)
Rioting always brings out the worst in people and the police know it. They will do anything to restore order and keep the situation from escalating by subduing those deemed most threatening. Protestors who hurl stones should not be surprised if they receive a canister full of tear gas in their faces. Marching with flags should not be considered an incitement in your own country. I have seen on the news many times that Palestinians raise their flags even in Israel and they never require police protection. Something is wrong with this picture.
34. If the enemy can raise their flags in a march in Tel Aviv
m   (03.24.09)
during a WAR!! we as Jews can't walk with our flag in an ISRAELI arab city? Whomever is complaining of "provocation" is doing just what the Jews did in Europe before the Shoa, just give in, be quiet, don't provoke. Is this what you want?
35. Why doesn't the Knesset pass a law that the Israeli flag
America   (03.24.09)
is allowed to be raised in every town, village or city within the limits of the State of Israel? No other flag should be officially raised. As a result of a very bloody, costly civil war, he flag of the Confederate South in USA is banned from being raised officially, even though many people still display them for reasons of pride. Certain states ban them entirely. America is ONE UNIFIED country with ONE FLAG. Shouldn't Israel be the same?
36. It's nice to give Salah a poke in the eye by displaying a
usa   (03.24.09)
Israeli flag in his neighborhood. It was probably worth it just to see his expression when that six-pointed star flying in the wind made him feel what it's like to have the status of a "dhimmi."
37. Police in Umm al Fahm
Judith Nusbaum ,   Rishon Letzion   (03.24.09)
It's a relief to see the Israeli police trying o prevent violence against Jews rather than see them aggressively dragging Jews from their homes.
38. very sad: Arabs live in Jewish State & can't be proud of it
orly ,   elkana, israel   (03.24.09)
This is really a shame. Could you imagine how things would have turned out differently had the Arab mayor said "Yes, we are proud to live freely in a Jewish country that upholds our rights as citizens". The Arabs are just showing how ungrateful they are. Now why would Israel want to broker a peace with other Arabs who don't even live here - if Arabs that live here can't stand the Jews. Secondly - I was amazed to here that a Meretz member was with the Arabs as opposed to marching with the Jews. As a peace lover, I would expect him to try and get both sides to accept one another. too bad.
39. Flags
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
There were very many Palestinian flags there, as seen on the picture posted, and the flag of Israel is PROVOCATION? Where do we live, - in Israel or in PA? Those Jewish leftists who participated in the demonstration, waving Palestinian flags and throwing stones, including Meretz MK, please enlighten me on the matter.
40. 4
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
Yes, marches with The Flag of Israel MUST be held in Mea Shearim, TOO, Not in stead of Um-El-Fahm.
41. 8
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
Agree with you 100%.
42. 14
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
Absolutely right! Halevai!!!
43. To Orly #38. A VERY Good Point.
Maansingh ,   The Netherlands   (03.24.09)
You say :” Now why would Israel want to broker a peace with other Arabs who don't even live here - if Arabs that live here can't stand the Jews.” A good point, Orly. A VERY good point. Israeli political leaders SHOULD think about it.
44. 19
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
And you are so right, too. Not only in restaurants, shopping malls, etc.. There is hardly a place in Israel where Arabs don't work: hospitals, farmacies, government offices, such as: bituah leumi, mas ahnasa, Ministry of Education, Health, etc., etc., etc., and this is really very good! What is absolutely INTOLERABLE is the fact that we, Jews, can't walk freely in Arab towns!!!! This is INCONCEIVABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
45.  WHAT, NO CAMERAS THERE?
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.24.09)
WHERE IS THE MIAOWING OF THE LEFT, AMNESTY INT. AND,PEACE NOW ACTIVISTS CAMERAS TO SHOW WITH THEIR CAMERAS JUSTHOW TERRIBLY THIS MARCH HAS BEEN CONDUCTED WITH INEFFICIENT SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS .HOW TERRIBLE THAT THESE PROTECTORS OF CIVIL LIBERTIES ARE LOOSING SCORING POINTS,THEY ARE SLEEPING ON THE JOB AND OUGHT TO WAKE UPA BIT!
46. 20
Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
What is provocative about giving Um-El-Fahm to Palestinian Authority? They call themselves Palestinians, they wave Palestinian flags, they hate the State of Israel, so what is wrong about them being proud citizens of PA? Nobody speaks here about expelling them from their homes and land, God Forbid! ON THE CONTRARY, it is the State of Israel that should withdraw from that area. So what is provocative about it? Would appreciate if you could explain.

Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
As to Haredim, Nili, overwhelming majority of them do get welfare, medical and other benefits', but don't work. and none of them serve in the Army.
48. VIOLENT Immigrants to the Free World-Their Goal is CONQUEST
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.24.09)
Savage Muslim mobs - immigrants welcomed into our countries call for the murder of innocents: "UK, you will pay" "7/7 on its way" "Slay those who insult Islam" "Europe, you will pay, your 9/11 is on its way!" "Jihad Against European Crusaders" Violent Muslim Protest Outside the Danish Embassy in London (February 3, 2006). Ferocious screams: "Death to you, by god." We want Danish blood." "May they bomb Denmark! So we can invade their country! And take their wives as war booty!" Threats are made against Jews: "The army of Mohammad is coming for you." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMeUcC_M20 Anti-Israel demonstrators in the West support Hamas: Hamas declares Jihad to America and Europe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQE8bf1T5H8&feature=email

Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
Yes, not less than Arabs, even more.
50. Attempted MASS MURDER: Rocks Maim and Kill
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (03.24.09)
Muslims can walk and live in absolute safety in any Jewish area in Israel and Muslims can walk and live in absolute safety in any non-Muslim area in the world. Muslim areas in Israel, UK, Europe, India and other countries are far too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter, making it a necessity in some European cities for ambulances to be given police protection when entering Muslim areas. This violent Islamic, murderous hate for non-Muslims should result in the U.N. holding emergency sessions to deal with this alarming problem. Instead, freedom and safety destroyers U.N. tyrants continually endeavor to make it a crime to say or write anything critical or negative about Islam. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buzRV-t5fLM&feature=related PA Muslims CHEERING murders of Americans on 9/11 Video-What Really Happened In The Middle East http://www.terrorismawareness.org/what-really-happened Flash Video-What the West needs to know about jihad: http://www.terrorismawareness.org/know-about-jihad/

100 %!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosie ,   Israel   (03.24.09)
I could't agree more.
53. forrest gump said it best
zionist forever   (03.24.09)
STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES The rightists went on this march to make trouble yes of course. This idiot from Meeretz probably knew there was a chance it could lead to violent clashes the man isn't that naive. He chose to go along anyway to demonstrate going up against the rightists and he got hurt well thats what you get for putting yoursef into a potentialy dangerous situation. The man knew exactly what he was getting into and so has no reason to complain or even be given any sympathy and hopefully he will learn from his mistake and not go along next time.
54. With the likes of Michael Ben Ari, Israel has HOPE again

Hey Rosie, have you replaced Sarah of New York City as the 'Loud Mouth' on Ynet?
