1. don't hang out with arabs, or don't hang out with muslims?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (08.19.09)
the former is rather enjoyable, the latter might leave you with problems.
2. Well let's just roll out the red carpet
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (08.19.09)
for this girl and her spin masters. Look Hun, you're judged by the company you keep and the company you kept KILLED a man minding his own business. Unless you ran from the scene to get the police or physically tried to stop what was going on you are a member of a mob action and thus liable to be punished like the rest. Acts of contrition are expected of the guilty AFTER they get caught. The innocent have no need for it. They new right from wrong before the act. This girl deserves jail time if for nothing else her cynical use of the media to wash all responsibility of her part of this crime from her hands.
3. That is sooooo racist
Ben Israel ,   Kiryat Arba   (08.19.09)
call Peace Now right away, trot out Livni and Kadima to denounce this, call out the left to march and demonstrate. This Chayelet will get life in prison for this statement. The Baguette I mean Bagatz will demand it.
4. Jewish girls are easy pickings for Arabs
David ,   Hartford USA   (08.19.09)
And until they wake up, they will continue to be used by them. But forget about her being Jewish for a moment- and consider her drunken state with a bunch of young men (Arab or Israeli). What was going to come out of this? If her friends could kill this poor guy, why not gang rape her for the fun of it also? She's obviously not the brightest bulb. She deserves jail time. The gang deserves to be staked-down on the beach at low tide and then let the tide come in. They too will enjoy the warm waters of the sea, for a while, until it takes their lives as well.
5. I wish she had been a little more specific about "Arabs" ...
Scott ,   USA   (08.19.09)
There are Arabs I would hang out with, and others I wouldn't. I even had an Arab girlfriend in college, although that's another story...
6. This woman is utterly contemptible!
David ,   Los Angeles   (08.19.09)
To try to save her own skin by appealing to the racism of others is just disgusting. And what will be even more revolting will be if she succeeds, as she already appears to be on her way to doing.
7. Well...
David ,   Haifa   (08.19.09)
According to this logic, you also should not hang out with Russians ( like at least one of the girls who was involved in the lynch ), or with religious Jews ( many if not most of the people you see in court wear a kippa ).
8. Open question
Shayna ,   UK   (08.19.09)
I was in a relationship with an arab 25 years ago, and he beat me up regularly. Does anyone know of any longterm relationship between a Jewish girl and an arab/Iranian Muslim where the man has not become violent?
9. stop this racist nonsence.
Yael ,   Tel Aviv   (08.19.09)
the message should be: choose your friends wisely and don't end up with hanging out with gangsters. Whatever their religion is.
10. Hanging out
Ethan ,   Eilat   (08.19.09)
Don't do anything with someone that they wouldn't let their sister do!!
11. Don't hang out with __________
Mick ,   SC   (08.19.09)
Fill in the blank with any ethnic group and you have a racist statement. Her attorney says she shows good citizenship. Only for a racist state & coming from SC USA, I can recognize it!
12. WItness or Accessory
Yonatan ,   Yerushalaim   (08.19.09)
"My client was a witness to the middle part of the event " So she saw some of her friends beating Arik Karp and her other friends chasing and beating his wife and daughter. I wouldn't expect a drunk girl to start fighting against a drunken mob, but she didn't run for help or scream for help either. That sounds like she should be tried fro Accessory to Murder. Maybe if she goes to prison some of the foolish Jewish girls of foolish Jewish parents will finally realize that Arabs are NOT their friends.
13. Nothing to do with Arabs..
gwen ,   Israel   (08.19.09)
however, this has everything to do with stupidity and cowardice.
14. Who is Ynet to decide on the girl's guilt?
Jake   (08.19.09)
What gives you the right to call her "student involved in lynch"? She is not accused of lynching anyone, only of disrupting police investigations, and she was released to house arrest. The ones who are accused of conducting the lynching are her "friends" from Jaljulya, which is an Arab town. Maybe Ynet should focus on the actual progress of the investigation, rather than getting caught up in red herrings.
15. #4 & 8 - Who said she was Jewish? Most likely not.
5th generation ,   Israel   (08.19.09)
16. Try the little piece of sh- -t for murder already....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.19.09)
So sick of this bullshit. She is an accessory to a heinous crime. She belongs behind bars.
17. tried to prevent this whole ordeal
Marcel ,   Florida   (08.19.09)
Ordeal ? ordeal ? How about stop minimizing your evil inclinations which led you to this event and just call it murder ?
18. why???
Ron ,   L.A., USA   (08.19.09)
Why can't people just leave each other alone? Why can't people just mind their own business? Why does everything have to be a racist statement? People should just stop antogonizing each other!
19. #4 "Jewish girls are easy pickings for Arabs"
Marco ,   Spain   (08.19.09)
Never knew that Jewish girls were so easy. Wonder why!
20. Does this include Jewish Arabs?
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (08.19.09)
Does the advice given to "Jewish girls" by the blondie who is accused of participating in the lynch refer also to Jewish Arabs? I mean here people who immigrated to Israel from Morocco, Yemen, etc. Let's face it, their share in violent crimes is much larger that the share of Ashkenazi Jews , like me. Also, even with the help from the state and the lowering of the standards, their share in higher education is less. So, are we going to recommend to girls not to associate with them too? It only makes sense that we should. And another question, since when does YNET publish as a headline dating advices given by a lyncher?
21. Does she sign her name with an "O"??
(08.19.09)
22. #19
(08.19.09)
part of the reason you had no clue that "jewish girls are so easy", as you claim (which is totally false!), is because none of them will look in your direction. look in the mirror and understand why. or better yet, jewish girls are way too intelligent and smart for someone like you whose ynet comments verge on not only stupidity, but on ignorance as well. we ussually stick to our own. have you looked recently at the israeli boys???? eat your heart out. they are bright and absolutely gorgeous! jewish girl, tel aviv
23. Too many morons in the streets of TA
Richard S. ,   Miami, USA   (08.19.09)
This is not just a question of not hanging out with Arabs or not. The problem are that there are too many idiots and jerks in the streets and beaches of TA without police doing anything. Don't they have anti-loitering or anti-public drunkenness ordinances? I don't care who you are, Jew, Arab, American tourist, religious or secular: You act stupid and start-up with people minding their own business in a public place, then you should have your ass thrown in jail. Here in the beaches of South Beach (Miami) you can get arrested for being drunk in public and if you just touch another person without permission you are arrested for assault.
24. Trade her in for Shalit!
Sol ,   USA   (08.19.09)
There is obviously alot of jewish girl trash in Israel. The parents are to blame. She has to be tried as an accessory to murder. Did she run for help? Anser: No. There is your verdict people!
25. Avi at #20
brian ,   Tel Aviv   (08.19.09)
What is a Jewish Arab? The Jews who immigrated from Yemmen, and Morocco etc. are Jews not Arabs, which is why they were forced to leave those Arab countries you idiot. You are a complete idiot.
26. 1

It's "Don't hang out with Arabs". Period. Jewish girls, date Jewish boys. Period. BTW the greatest enemy of Israel - Azmi Bshara - is not a Muslim.
27. #20 There is no such thing as "Jewish Arabs"
Jake   (08.19.09)
unless we are talking about the Jewish tribes who lived in Arabia at the time of Mohammed (but not after). Jews and Arabs are two separate peoples. Jews who immigrated to Israel from other parts of the Middle East, like Morocco or Yemen, may be of Mizrachi/Sephardic background, but are not Arabs and are not classified as Arabs. Also, where do you get the notion that "Jewish Arabs" contribute more to violent crime than Ashkenazi Jews? After all, the American Jewish mafia from the 20s, 30s, and 40s was pretty solidly Ashkenazi. Or do you still believe grandma's bubbe meise that they never existed?
28. #15 5th generation
Yonatan ,   Yerushalayim   (08.19.09)
Previous reports on several media sites have said that both girls are Jewish. There's been a lot of speculation in the TBs if they're Halachically Jewish mostly based on one girl's blond hair (could be dyed), the fact that she's in the IDF, and that she's just so stupid!
29. She didn't know that Arabs are violent???
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.19.09)
Where the heck has she been all of her life and what does she think she's doing army service for anyway? Nice try. Nobody can be that dumb. Good advice though about the drinking and friend making. Glad to hear that your not feeling guilty and having bad dreams too. I hope she gets everything coming to her. When words lose their meanings, society collapses. (Treason)
30. 20
Israeli   (08.19.09)
Jewish immigrants from Arab countries are Jews, not Jewish Arabs.
