31. STOP THE ISLAMIZATION OF MECCA!!!!
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.31.09)
Hehe....seriously, Arabs?
32. Israel is the Democratic Jewish State
Keren ,   Israel-SP   (03.31.09)
The longer Israel takes to forbid any march or act against its status,the more difficult it will become. Sovereignity is usefull in this cases,after all this is its meaning:To be SOVEREING !Sovereign within its borders. And by its borders I mean all that is already anexed and all that was gain in wars Israel didn't start. Arabs with the Israeli citizenship don't have the right to behave the way they are behaving.
33. The bible says they will be a thorn in your side
(03.31.09)
if you do not drive them out of the Land.
34. an unexpected voice of reason
will edwards ,   dallas tx usa   (03.31.09)
Mr. Mohammed from Mecca... I thank you. You have shown me hope that there is a chance for intelligent solution to this centuries old problem. I agree with you concerning the Palestinian and the Arabic following. I am honored to read such a well thought solid explanation of an honest view from the side of Islam. Thanks again You have given me reason to hope for peace between us.
35. 22 Arab states - none democratic or vibrant
David ,   USA   (03.31.09)
The Arabs live in the best land in the Middle East . They don't serve in the army and challenge the Jewish establishment asking for more benefits. They also learned how to make the Jews guilty. Not a bad deal for them.
36. STOP THE ARABIZATION OF MECCA NOW !!
andrew ,   miami,fl   (03.31.09)
37. this isnt the warsaw gheto jews can live anywhere
zionist forever   (03.31.09)
This is the jewish state not the Warsaw Gheto. Jews have the right to live anywhere they wish and the more jewish land they move to the better. They arabs not only want the jews to leave Jerusale & the Yeshe & give it to the arabs and but they want jews out of the Galil & Negev. They want to remind their children their roots are arab.. this is where the next intefada will be coming from, we are going to eventualy have arab riots and some acts of terror over these parts of the jewish state. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT MY CHILDREN UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE TO LIVE IN PEACE, COEXISTENCE AND EQUALITY The man contradicts himself. How can you live in peace coexistence and equality if jews are not allowed to live in certain parts of the country where is the coexistence? In Tel Aviv the coexist .. jew & arab live in the same city sometimes in the same streets or apartment blocks. To these arabs coexistence means jews can exist in a few places ( where arabs are allowed to exist as well if they want to ) in other parts of the country arabs are allowed to exist alone.. As for their other plans Other then the arab parties, Meretz and the likes of Yuli Tamir they won't get enough support in the Knesset to pass any bill making Land Day official. They certainly won't be getting any laws past giving them land. These arabs don't belong in this country and its time to get rid of them just the same way as their arab brothers in their states want to be jew free.
38. Arabs should ask Arabia to allow other religions
Dan scott ,   Canada   (03.31.09)
Why does Saudia Arabia strictly ban other religions to be practised. They are so free in Israel to practise religion mentioned in www.faithfreedom.org
39. The Arabs are good for the Jews. They bring the wayward Jews
Reality ,   USA   (03.31.09)
to their harshe reality.
40. The Arabs continue to prove the importance of the Jewish
Frank ,   USA   (03.31.09)
unity. Having the hostile element breathing down your throat will keep the Jewish guard up.
41. To all the Arabs living on the Land of Israel !
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (03.31.09)
'This is OUR COUNTRY, OUR LAND, : We are the legitimate owner of this land. Once you are done complaining, whining, and griping about Our Flag, Our Pledge, Our Anthem, or Our Way of Life, I highly encourage you take advantage of one other great Israeli freedom :'THE RIGHT TO LEAVE'. If you aren't happy here then LEAVE. The Arab occupation has lasted long enough. We didn't force you to come here. The Land of Israel is the land of the Jews as explained at: http://xrl.us/bi5c6
42. Arab Land Day
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (03.31.09)
In no Arab country do Arabs march to proclaim that land theirs. Yet in Israel, they feel a need to make a statement that at one point in 2000 years Arabs had the higher demographics and controlled it. Well who cares. the JUDEAN desert is the home to the Jewish PEOPLE. If you have citizenship in Israel it means that you recognize this. Israelis are sensible and humane enough to allow a huge array of diverse people to flourish and prosper within its borders. to have citizenship of Israel but to deny it's sovereignty is antithetical to being a citizen. These marchers should go live in any of the 21 Arab countries that have 600 times the land Israel does if they reject Israel's legitimacy.
43. Thank you #16, Mohammed from Mecca
Israeli ,   Israel   (03.31.09)
We will live with you in peace for ever. You are our brother Ishmael. We love you as family.
44. I like that its a peaceful demonstration
potash katiftof ,   tel aviv israel   (03.31.09)
The arabs are and should continue to demonstrate whatever they want, as long as its in a non-violent fashion. They'll probably actually see results too.
45. #16-17 Mohammed, Mecca, Saudi Arabia
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (03.31.09)
Thank you! !כל הכבוד (all the respect!) I can understand why you may wish to remain anonymous as I imagine your view is unpopular to the point of life-threatening. (If you're willing to go on the record, please contact me in the Web Cafe of our website.) Nevertheless, your logic seems solid. I've quoted the entirety of both of your postings, properly cited to you and ynetnews, in the Islam page of our website. Your posting personifies an Islamic view paralleling the core direction of the Netzarim spelled out in our home page: "Jews, Christians, Muslims - Starting on the same page, from different perspectives, toward a shared path…" This goal could transform the entire Middle East into the most harmonious, prosperous and influential region in the world for ALL of our combined family of Avraham--fulfilling the ancient Biblical prophecies in the process!!! May ha-Sheim Elohim bring blessings and peace upon you.

46. only jews can officialy ever call themselves Israeli
zionist forver   (03.31.09)
No matter what part of the country they live in or if the hold Israeli citizenship or not they can never be ISRAELIS An Israeli is a decendent of Jacob who G-D renamed Israel. Arabs belong in Arabia where rich men like Osma Bin Laden come from. Arab terrorists living in the jewish state belong in the arab state with other arab terrorists. All terrorists friends together and all jews together in Israel in the north, south, centre east and west of the country. Time to stop being so polliticlay correct and turning a blind eye to everything arabs do because we want them to feel like welcomed members of Israeli society. They are not wanted by the majority of jews who wold be delighted to see the back of them so why pretend that we do want them. The arab world has always been pretty straight talking when it comes to how they feel about jews so lets be straight talking as well we dont want the arabs.
47. (AKA) Mohamed
hakim ,   usa   (03.31.09)
In surah Al-Maeda which you obviously did not read it states that the jews refused to enter Palestine.Now you are saying "we will apoligize...Read and respond to the true facts, and do not interperate the quran as you wish...
48. to #47 religion
ghostq   (03.31.09)
is not exact science people can interpert as they pleas, you have to remember that man wrote thos books(old, new and quran) not higher being so keep that in mind that there is not absolute truth, and if someone finally find a way to bring muslems and jews closer together you should praise them not reprimand them, quaran laws r based on old jewish laws that existed 1500 years ago, such as the laws of eating kosher food and all, and caring for the widows and the orphans and the poor , even though in traditional arab society thos things r not needed since every one belong to extended family - a clan.
49. MKs warned against Israel's Judaization of Galilee, Negev
m   (03.31.09)
This should have been the caption!
50. #41 Robert Bernier....thanks for the information!
