1. Arabs and so called Jews
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah   (03.28.09)
B"H Arabs and so called Jews are trying to politicize criminal activity.
2. Jews have some rights too!
Jerome ,   Paris   (03.28.09)
Well, it is clear that these people think that jews have no rights at all; it started with so called Westbank (because the British gave away the Eastbank), then of course Palestine has to be jew free for a lot people (funny, the name was given by the romans after they murdered the jews). The romans were keen to kick out all the jews- even the names Judea and Jerusalem had to be eliminated by replacing them with Palestine and Capitolina Alena... TODAY these folks you mention would love to see the destruction of close to 6 millions jews in Palestine. Some people never change. We all still remember when for hundred of years stupid people said that jews need christian blood to bake mazzah so what do you expect from these schmokes!? We shall call them romans, Titus lovers!
3. We build homes they protest, we demolish homes they protest.
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.28.09)
ooooo left wing folk are funny.
4. Shame!
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (03.28.09)
I can understand that arabs protest demolishing their illegal houses. I can understand activists from ISM join them. But I am ashamed that self haters from among OUR people join them! This "Jews" are moved by hate to anybody who believes in HaShem and the land of Israel and they don't care which means to use, as long as they can express their hate.
5. Jews? Who try to give away Jerusalem? Thats against Judaism.
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (03.28.09)
Seems to me they are non-arabs living in Israel.
6. Jewish protesters
Frank ,   Canada   (03.28.09)
They never protest against terror attacks or rockets.
7. not only settlers want to kick you out
Michael ,   Jerusalem   (03.28.09)
For example, I'm not a settler and I YES want to expell arabs making trouble. Jews that collaborate with terrorists that call themself peace activist are just Jews that want to give a sense to their empty existences. Arabs making trouble should be kicked out, thats for sure. By the way, settlers come from Isaac, the one that got the land, not the guy called Ishmael that was asked to stay with the hamor. Each one at his place !
8. Too many Arabs are Terror collaborators,
Vardina   (03.28.09)
therefore they should not be surprised that Israeli jews want them on the other side of the border.
9. Only 150 people, LOL I guess you can't make everyone happy:P
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.28.09)
10.  Jerusalem home demolitions.. solution,
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (03.28.09)
build more homes for the arabs in tel aviv
11. illegal building
colin   (03.28.09)
Kick the bastards out.No ILLEGAL structure must stand.The settlers are to blane in Israel Israel is to blame against the world.If they build in judea and shomron __naughty If they demo;ish in silwan _naughty What do the traiterous left want???Clinton must be told to stay in America She has NOTHING to say in Israel Clinton is sect.of state in USA not Israel Clinton should watch her galavanting husband that likes jewish ladies,Maybe thats what makes her think she can sonething to JEWS
12. Incorrect title
Settler ,   Ramot, Jerusalem   (03.28.09)
Let us define some terminology, starting with "THERE ARE ALMOST 300 SETTLERS LIVING IN SILWAN!". Setlers, meaning Jews, productive citizens, not threatening folks like myself, a settler in Ramot, according to Condeliza and Helliry. Now, as to" ARABS AND JEWS PROTEST". Arabs are herein to be called "SQUATTERS", and the rights of a SETTLER are surperior and senior to those of a SQUATTER. There are halachic standards of what a Jew is, and means and actions whereby one ceases to be Jew. Abandonment of the covenant and mitzvot is one way, Moser, or a malevolent pursuer is another. I am not suggesting a theocracy, just that some of these definitions enter the political discourse. So that the title should read: "SQUATTERS AND TURNCOATS PROTEST JEWISH PROPERTY RIGHTS IN SILWAN" (SHILOACH, in the original Hebrew, got that?)
13. Ismail and Ishak
Goliath   (03.29.09)
The good Jews participating in the protest realize that in fact Arabs and Jews are brothers because Ismail and Ishak are brothers of the same father - Ibrahim. Arabs never expelled Jews from Palestine, Romans did.
14. "jewish "protestors
bubba ,   nyc   (03.29.09)
these soon to be yordim have nothing better to do on shabbas
15. I will go protest
zionist forever   (03.29.09)
I would like to start my own protest WE DONT DEMOLISH ALL THE ARAB HOMES IN JERUSALEM Lets also stop this talk about arab East Jerusalem .. most those homes were occupied by jews before 1948/49. When the ceasefire lines were drawn up with Jordan after the war of independence the city was divided, jews expelled from their homes in the east a wall built and arabs illigaly occupied jewish homes. If only we had listened to the Lubavetcher Rebbe in 1967 who said give the arabs 48 hours to leave town because they are terrified that Israel would now treat them as badly as they treated jews. Sadly the government decided we want to be bettwen we want the arabs to stick around. If we had taken his advice when we had the chance there would be nothing to negotiate today because there would be no arabs in East Jerusalem only jews living in the homes that had belonged to jews less than 20 years earlier.
16. #4 Ricardo Macher
Moshe ,   Israel   (03.29.09)
Shame on you Ricardo. Its people like you that are giving Jews a bad name. People like you are a filthy stain on our heavenly religion.
17. When structures are constrauted illegally the structures...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.29.09)
...must go. This is the case in any properly governed municipality and this should be the case in Jerusalem. Furtheremore, when those structures are constructed in an area designated as public area for its historic importance - 'Ir David - so as to preserve it archaeological fines for the entire world community for many generations to come, people of true good will must insist that those structures come down. But the "peace" activists are not really interested in peace, in human rights, in an accommodation between the various communities of the country. These people are interested in the wiping of Israel off the face of earth and all means for them are acceptable. Shame on you!
18. To Moshe #16
Ricardo Macher ,   KarneiShomron-Israel   (03.29.09)
I really don't understand you Moshe. Unless you believe that law enforcement is just meant for us "settlers" and not for arabs and leftists. Illegal buildings are to be demolished as per law, being arabs is not an excuse!
19. No rights to Arabs on Jerusalem!
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.29.09)
Arabs and/or Muslims have no historical rights on Jerusalem. In the days of Muhammad, who died in 632 c.e., Jerusalem was a Christian-occupied city within the Byzantine Empire. Jerusalem was captured by caliph Omar only in 638 c.e. About 80 years after Muhammad died, Malik's son, Abd el-Wahd ‒who ruled in 705-715‒ reconstructed the Christian-Byzantine Church of St. Mary and converted it into a mosque, he named it El-Aqsa, so it would sound like the one mentioned in the Koran as described at : http://xrl.us/bjheo
20. Why do we tolerate international activists
YSL ,   Israel   (03.29.09)
To run riot in Israel,it is bad enough that we have our own idiots, why allow foreign morons into the country.Arrest them fine them heavily then throw them out of the country,never to return.
21. #12
Sean ,   Montreal, Quebec   (03.29.09)
After reading your post I can only say you make G-d seem a most loathsome option. Perhaps you should consider making love to a nice Arab man. You know. Maybe take a bit of the edge off?
22. #21 Maybe you should mind your own business
(03.29.09)
And stop lecturing Israelis on how to behave from your throne in Montreal.
23. #15 and demolitions
London Eye ,   London   (03.30.09)
"If only we had listened to the Lubavetcher Rebbe in 1967 who said give the arabs 48 hours to leave town" Do you live in 2009? Do you have the mentality of a Cossack horde? I simply cannot believe the number of people who think that throwing people out of their property and demolishing their houses has anything whatsoever to do with shared humanity. If you want to see what the corollary of that argument means, then you are welcome to the conclusion. The more I read the posters on YNET the more I get the impression of an ignorant lynching mob. You would have done better to join the KKK and many of the statements on this page would not be out of place in the columns of Der Stuermer. Well done! The actions of Israel on the ground and the words of ye freako rabid haters in essence assure you continued hatred towards your inhumane actions. Kol hakavod.
24. SEAN ... FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE !!
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (04.10.09)
SEAN, SINCE YOU RECOMMEND THIS IS FOR OTHERS, WHY NOT TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND .... " Perhaps you should consider making love to a nice Arab man". ALSO, DO YOU RECOMMEND FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ? SINCE YOU ARE IN MONTREAL, CAN'T YOU GO CONTRIBUTE YOUR COMMENTS TO "LE DEVOIR" OR THE "MONTREAL GAZETTE".... OR ANYWHERE ELSE BECAUSE YOU HAVE REALLY NO BUSINESS TO INSULT THE "REAL" YNET POSTERS. SEAN....... YOU COME AS A GUEST YO YNET ISRAEL TALK-BACKS. IF YOU COULD BEHAVE WITH SOME RESPECT, PERHAPS YOU MAY BE TREATED AS A WELCOME GUEST INSTEAD OF AS A "PARTY CRASHER" !!
25. LONDON "FOG" EYE .... DO YOU REALLY SEE ??
AVRUM ,   CANADA   (04.10.09)
LONDON "FOG" EYE .... CAN YOU NOT SEE YOUR OWN COUNTRY'S RECORDS ? YOU PEOPLE ONCE CONTROLLED THE WORLD.... THE BRITISH EMPIRE. YOU CONQUERED AND PILLAGED AND STOLE SO MUCH OF OTHER PEOPLE'S LANDS AND THEIR HISTORIES. YOU RE-NAMED THEIR LANDS TO NAMES YOU WANTED. YOU STOLE THEIR RICHES, PROPERTY, JEWELS, AND YOU STOLE THEIR IDENTITIES......SHAMEFUL ! YOUR LIST OF ATROCITIES INCLUDES: INDIA, PAKISTAN, MID-EAST, "BRITISH" GUIANA, INDIES , IRELAND, NOT TO MENTION YOUR HOLY LAND, THE "FALKLANDS". YOU GUYS DID SO MUCH DAMAGE IN YOUR EMPIRE TIME, THAT IT WOULD TAKE OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE ISRAEL, A THOUSAND LIFETIMES AND STILL NOT EVEN APPROACH YOUR OWN RECORD OF ATROCITIES, INHUMANITY, AND BARBAROUS ACTS. YOU STOLE AND PILLAGED FOR MONETARY GAIN AND POWER IN COUNTRIES VERY FAR FROM YOUR OWN.............THESE WERE NOT DEFENSIVE ACTS, NOR ARE THEY DEFENSIBLE !!
