18 Talkbacks for this article
1. zebra in the flesh
observer   (10.09.09)
Zebra flesh is kosher for Muslims as food. Good investment; who knows one day there might a need to.
2. They can make a Zebra out of a donkey
Name   (10.09.09)
They can say the Temple Mount is Muslim. They can lie about anything.
3. Culture of lies...
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (10.09.09)
Imaginary people, imaginary history, imaginary "natives", imaginary refugees, imaginary "zebras"..
4. Isn't This Animal Abuse?
Mike   (10.09.09)
Just saying. Regardless of how "impoverished" they are, does that allow them to hair-dye an animal? Where's PETA? PETA freaked out when an Israeli developed the hairless chicken, remember? So where is PETA now?
5. bring them violet cow Milka from Alps
(10.09.09)
they will be happy to see something new :-)
6. wow just how spitefull can these talkback get?
Ezra ,   London   (10.09.09)
you have everything by taking from others but still they can't have a little bit of happiness for their children. Nice
7. I'm Suposed To Feel Bad About These Kids?
emanon ,   USA   (10.09.09)
That what the article is trying to tell me. Sorry, wrong reason. I feel outraged that their parents would rather spend money on munitions instead of food; money on destruction instead of building a sustainable enterprise; spending money on brainwashing their kids into being human bombs instead of building schools to build creative minds.
8. To #4: Definately animal abuse!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.09.09)
But this is typical of the Palestinians. Take something innocent and turn it into a lie and then blame Israel for it. If the Zonkeys (Zebra/Donkeys) die from poisoning by the paint, we all know they will blame it on th Zionist Conspiracy to destroy the Palestinian Zonkey State made up of complete donkeys! No offense intended against real donkeys! PETA should have a good look how the Arabs treat their animals!
9. Just Not News
Tom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.09.09)
People brand cattle. People eat cattle. People ride donkeys and kick donkeys and gawk at zebras. If this were not Gaza, the self-inflicted weapon against Jews, it would not be news.
10. #4, Hairless Chicken?
JewishDragonfly ,   Torrance, CA, USA   (10.09.09)
They're ALL hairless. They have feathers.
11. gorillas for sale
(10.09.09)
and if they need gorillas i know a few in the middle east what with some extra hair nobody would know the difference,
12. Ynet omitted the fact that two zebras starved to death in
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.09.09)
the gaza zoo, THAT is why there are no zebras in their zoo.
13. #2 No, they prove they can do anything...
Edithann ,   USA   (10.09.09)
They are a creative people who are waiting out the demise of Israel...They have turned to their creative talents into something they can enjoy, during the wait..as they will be there forever... Just as Israel will be fighting them forever..so too they will wait it out forever and with honor... TATA
14. #6 right on...
Edithann ,   USA   (10.09.09)
Israel wants to take everything from them...can we say 'Jealousy' writ large? TATA
15. Ezra #6
(10.09.09)
Look who's talking. Doesn't UK still hold Northern Ireland? After occupying Ireland itself for hundreds of years? Pot calling the Kettle black, methinks.
16. To Tata , 13
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.09.09)
They are creative people , yes , but only for murdering or such a stupidity as painting a donkey . Are you painted too ?
17. "Spiteful"? Oh, please!
rnathans00 ,   Washington, USA   (10.09.09)
Ezra (#6) writes, "wow just how spiteful can these talkback [sic] get?" Israel didn't take from others; they built on what was theirs, was bought, or was won in defensive wars. Perhaps if Hamas hadn't been booby-trapping their zoo or stealing supplies intended for those animals Gaza would still have its zebras. I'm disappointed the Ramat Gan Safari fell for this piece of propaganda. Do they really think this gesture will win them any points from those who wish them dead?
18. If We Can Replace Painted Donkeys With Zebras Perhaps We Can
Logic   (10.10.09)
Replace Gazan Hmarim like Haniyeh with real politicians, like Abbas! Oh wait, no, just another Hmar from a different savanah... Maybe a lioness could tell the difference between a donkey and zebra but the international community couldn't tell the difference between a terror state and a democractic one. At least the animals can feel at home in the biggest zoo they call the U.N. thats a place full of howling hyenas! Pity the children are raised in such a desolate culture that spends most of its time trying to destroy another culture. Quite like Edithann states with "They are a creative people who are waiting out the demise of Israel". Why not put arms funds into Schools? Businesses? Hospitals?
