1. do they have any evidence?
eddie ,   london UK   (12.31.09)
or is it a another shin bet ploy to discredit the settlers?
2. Kahane's Relative...
Bruria   (12.31.09)
If he is guilty he should be tried in court. This article carries a red flag saying racist arson. Would you be screaming racist so loud if it was a synagogue? Oh, wait, that would not be politically correct...
3. what about the Arabs that torched Kever Yosef in 2000?
Moshe ,   Beit Shemesh   (12.31.09)
or the synagogue in Jericho ? were THEY ever arrested??
4. Fire in the hole
Meir ,   Arad   (12.31.09)
The message is clear. In order to undermine the efforts of the extreme left government to surrender the Land of Israel to the Arab enemy all is needed is to set ablaze few mosques. The chaos this will bring to the country will keep the army and the police busy trying to control the riots and may cause another intifada. During periods of intifada there are no concessions to the Arabs. In order to keep the Land of Israel in Jewish hands we should use Arab stupidity to our advantage. Paradoxically, the extreme left Israeli government is the worst enemy of Jewish interest and our best friend is the Arab intransigence.
5. #5 you don't understand the game
(12.31.09)
The government and police are dehumanizing the "settlers" to prepare for their future plans. See how angry they are at a scorched bookcase and carpet in Yassif (with no evidence blamed on Jews) but the silence when an innocent Jew is gunned down.
6. "Suspect"
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim,   (12.31.09)
B"H I suspect this article is a leftist provocation and slender. I suspect it is politically motivated. I suspect that without islamic jihad Israel had no terror problem. I suspect that if Israel fought its enemies, Teitel and this Kahane relative would stay at home playing with their kids. I suspect that under "suspect" you can say anything you want, correct?
7. Where is "Champagne" (Avishai Raviv)
Uncle Shimmy ,   Tel Aviv   (12.31.09)
One more targil masreeach (stinking maneuver) of the Shabak and it's shtinkers and provocateurs Interesting how it was The Maarach (Labor) that invented "settlements" and encouraged people to live in them!
8. I trust our police but the Kahane family I know
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.31.09)
will not condone this sort of behaviour of their children. This is a child (must be or they would have published his name) and if he is guilty, the best punishment would be to return him to his family, and let them deal with him, preferably keeping in mine the trauma his family have gone thru.
9. american extremists that hate in the name of judaism
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (12.31.09)
what is it with them? they are either preaching hate and bigotry in the name of judaism toward christians, arabs, homosexuals, seculars, messianics, or they are acting on that hateful incitement. i know that there are those who spew hate and incitement while saying they are against violence, but are they really innocent when someone takes up arms? i think the one who foments such ugliness is an accessory to the deeds of the titels, kahanes, and rantisis of this world. nothing good comes of their words except death.
10. dear .3
miriam ,   israel   (12.31.09)
if it were an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, everyone would be blind and toothless
11. Good news now jail them where they belong
Avi ,   Israel   (12.31.09)
Slowly but slowly these thugs will be brought to justice and justice will be served.
12. The Ugly Palestinians
JPS ,   Efrat   (12.31.09)
The Palestinians again prove that they do not deserve a state, but do deserve to be put on trial for war crimes. The Palestinians will show that they deserve a place amongst the civilized nations when Ghassan Dargeles announces that the PA has arrested any of the dozens of Palestinian murderers walking the streets of Ramallah and Gaza City. Palestinians think they can kill Israeli citizens with impunity. They cannot. They think they can join the community of nations when they have a national policy of committing war crimes. There will be no Palestinian state until they deserve one. For now, Palestinians still embrace the murder of Israeli civilians, and they do not prosecute any Palestinian who murders an Israeli. Ghassan Dargeles shows that we indeed have no partner for peace.
13. journalism?
tom ,   toronto, canada   (12.31.09)
this article is terrible. does the suspect have a name, other than "kahane's relative"? and why, in the name of incitement, is 90% of it about "stuff" that has nothing to do with the mosque in yasuf? and is the english-speaking editorial staff on permanent vacation? articles like this should never make it to publication without a proper rewrite.
14. Police "arrest" only when it suits them..
eddie ,   london UK   (12.31.09)
I used to think Israel is a democracy , but it is actually a fascist/bolshevik state controlled by its secret police and corrupt unelected politiicans. Of course, this is a set-up. They chose Kahane because it is the name which the left revile the most (the left that loves names like arafat). There were 2 fixed crimes desgined to incite hatred for the religious right: 1) the gay shootings - which was a professional hit, by expert gunman dressed in black who left no trace. 2) the mosque fire and the graffiti - as if an extremist vandal would hang around and write all over the mosque before setting fire to it
15. Want To Bet???
Ohiobaby   (12.31.09)
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if some nutcase Muslim burned the Mosque so they can BLAME THE JEWS. What does break my heart is the stupid left believing BLAME THE JEWS AND LETS KISS UP TO THE MUSLIMS.
16. Innocent kid!!
KACH 613 ,   Judah, Israel   (12.31.09)
Any building in Israel that preaches hate of Jews should not stand!!! The amount of hate speech that was aimed at Jews from that so called house of worship is unbelievable. The I.D.F. should be investigating all these places and stop arresting innocent children because their name is Kahane. I was named KACH 613 at birth do I now have to go into hiding??
17. Sure, he will spend a couple weeks being interrogated 18
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.31.09)
hours a day by the shabak and when that is over he could confess to flying to the moon illegally on a broomstick and not know he didn't really do it. If it is a relative of Meir Kahane, OBM, then Israeli facists sees it as a duty to convict, innocent or guilty.
18. Does anyone really trust the shabak
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.31.09)
or the police? They have their own agenda and they will work for a cowardly government and not for the truth. A terrorist killed eight Jewish students in a yeshiva in Jerusalem and practically nothing was done in response. moslims do not renounce terror against Jews, but ghetto mentality "jews" will arrest any Jew for an alleged crime of arson and will cry and buy the arabs more korans.
19. children of Israel have their driving license at age of 18
observer   (12.31.09)
so, that naughty boy might have been caught for driving below age.
