61. Thanks to Jews you even HAVE JOBS.....
MUSTREAD ,   Haifa   (11.04.09)
if you're so unhappy about that then tell YOUR leaders to spend the billions they get in international funds towards building infrastructure and factories instead of wasting it all on weapons to kill the Jews.
62. whining after someone tried to spill acid
ghostq   (11.04.09)
on soldiers on that junction you can blame only yourself. you don't behave you get treated with harsh conditions.
63. To #51, there are Israelis unemployed
Steve   (11.04.09)
According to the CIA World Factbook, unemployment in Israel was 6.1% in 2008. Instead of bringing in Palestinians to work, we could give those unemployed Israelis a job.
64. Even a casual reading
Abba ,   Modi'in, Israel   (11.04.09)
of the article and the photo-props it contains reveals that it's nothing but a put-up job by the ultra-left Machsom-Watch so-called human rights gang, (rights for everyone except Jews). Who do they think the're kidding?
65. Shocking!.. It could pass for 1943 Poland.
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.04.09)
No No!! I hear you scream.. Poland was much worse.. Perhaps... but in 2010 all things are relative.. and this is the Shameful.. Ironic, that Jews would do this to their cousins.
66. #16 Really? Hizbollah will welcome them?
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.04.09)
Only if they can use the Palestinians for martyr terror attacks. Anyway, Hizbollah has no jobs for them and doesn't do sqat for them. Just like Iran. Don't offer something you can't provide, Marco. The ones who bark the loudest (Iran, Hizbollah, Hamas) are the ones who create the mess others have to clean-up. Lots of cockroaches where you come from.
67. Palestinian Workers
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.04.09)
Considering the number of checkpoints previously destroyed by Palestinian terrorists hiding among workers, it's fair for the PA to build a suitable waiting area for these people. A minor investment considering Israel remains the primary employer for Palestinian workers.
68. To: No. 65
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.04.09)
Wrong, as usual. How many Jews perpetrated acts of terror or suicide bombings against Poles? Cousins? What kind of "cousin" to Jews are the Arabs -- sixty-one years of terror is not conducive to good familial relations and is shameful indeed. Your "analogy" is not only inapposite and entirely untrue, it's positively puerile. In other words, your comment reflects everything we have come to expect from you, which is to say -- absolutely nothing beyond undisguised hatred of Israel and the Jewish people.
69. grow up
Selena ,   New YorkUSA   (11.04.09)
I walk about 30 minutes to my metro, ride it for over an hour, then walk another 30 minutes to my job, in the snow, in the sleet, in the rain, in the negative degrees of winter. Every day, not the hand full of days these workers are exposed to (what us new yorkers would consider a blessing) 60 degrees and rain. Grow up. Stop complaining. Why dont we all demand covered sidewalks so none of us walkers have to deal with the elements. jeeeeze
70. Israel should build a shed and a few proper bathrooms
potash katiftof ,   tel aviv, israel   (11.04.09)
I think this is a very reasonable request. Israel needs these labour's to continue the large real estate projects in development. I don't think its too much to put up a roofing structure.
71. #65 You might be hallucinating
Cynthia ,   USA   (11.04.09)
Palestinians are not forced to work in Israel. No one is holding a gun to their head. They face 40%-60% unemployment because their leadership does not invest in jobs, job training or create a stable economy to support a labor market. Why can't the PA build this structure? When the PA refuses economic cooperation with Israel, the Palestinians suffer.
72. To Sarah B., no 60
Chardon Bleu ,   Geneva Switzerland   (11.04.09)
The venom and hatred in your heart unfortunately already are destroying your psychic and physical health. I’m sorry to hear that! However, by spitting them out against the opponents of the Zionist ideology, you are also harming Israel and your fellow Jews there and elsewhere. The unbelievable flood of hate talkbacks against the critics of this ideology and it’s destructive consequences for others and the world at large, is making it more and more look like a malignant cancer needing surgery. Is this what you want?
73. Arab responsiblity
R.F. Seigel ,   Kapaa, Kauai USA   (11.04.09)
Arabs determine responsibility for their own behavior. Like all of us they get what they deserve.
74. To: Selena at No. 69
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.04.09)
Amen! And they don't have to deal with cars, buses and trucks that go speeding through the slushy streets, kicking it all up on the commuters waiting patiently at the curb for the light to change ....
75. to #65 than y the Arab cousins did so many
ghostq   (11.04.09)
sucide attackes on busses in the 90's.?
76. REMEMBER THE GOOD TIMES BEFORE INTIFADA ? SHOOT IN THE LEG.
Nowhere Man ,   Metropolis, Zion   (11.04.09)
77. To: No. 72
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.04.09)
No. What I would like to do is get some answer with respect to Swiss collaboration with Nazi Germany, the theft of Jewish bank accounts by the Swiss and the ongoing calumny of the Swiss insurance companies in their continued refusal to pay out the proceeds of fully paid-up life insurance policies taken out by Jews in the 1930s. I remind you again that Zionism is the national movement of the Jewish people to re-establish their ancient homeland. You use the term "Zionism" as if it were a curse. It isn't. It has produced a homeland and a safe haven for the Jewish people which had been denied them for two thousand years. Emphasis on the "safe haven;" Europe is one huge Jewish cemetery. If you do not know that, you should. The hatred of Jewish people is not new to us. We know full well what Christians and Moslems are capable of; frankly, your record is less than impressive. If you hate us, you need to look to your own insecurities and beliefs to answer the question; the onus is on you, not us. The fact that you hate us does not make us wrong or guilty of anything; it means you are merely reverting to racial type, as demonstrating time and again over the past two thousand years. You are the ones with the malignancy that requires surgery. Do not project your own disease onto the Jews merely because it makes you feel better. So, when are you going to answer my questions about the venial acts of the Swiss during World War II and since? I have addressed all of your questions (even the churlish and silly ones). Why do you not answer mine? Your silence speaks volumes ....
78. Steve 63 . You are 100 % WRONG
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (11.04.09)
are you ready to do the job those palestinians do ? It's the same situation in the whole word . Immigrants , legal or illegal , accept those low paid jobs . Nowhere will the local population in the developped countries accept such a job . Extreme right parties in Europe say the same as you do : half a million immigrants , the same number of jobless citizens , So throw them out and give their jobs to citizens . The problem is that locals will NOT fullfil those work places . Another fact , those locals have better paid jobs because of this .
79. #65 - "Ironic, that Jews would do this to their cousins."
William ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
RJBH, but it seems the irony of Arabs targeting and killing their "cousins" is lost on you. Had Israelis treated their "cousins" the way "palestinians" were treated by their brethren, there wouldn't BE a "palestinian" people. Again, an irony that seems lost on you in your racist diatribes.
80. Please Willie... You Just shot ma camel burned ma olive
RJBH ,   Methil   (11.04.09)
grove, stole, ma house and all its contents, chased me out my country and made me a Refugee,.. Changed the name of the country I lived in,, then bombed the refugee camp I lived in...And ye call me a Terrorist?.. Surely if Im a Racist.. Your a halfwit.
81. Palestinian workers
Ron ,   Amsterdam,Netherland   (11.07.09)
What's the matter with this picture? I also have to stand in the cold for an hour at 2 degrees. But I take an umbrella or dress warm. Anyway they have work they can go to don't they? Why don't they go to Europe? There they can experience real cold!
