1. He should be tried
Shemaya ,   Amsterdam, NL   (03.28.10)
Holland is full of dhimmie lefties. Where is the justice, how can this just be allowed? Shouldn't be a prison sentence on thou shalt not bear false witness, especially not as a 'journalist'.
2. The Dutch are famous for left wing insanity,don't you think?
Ken Quinn ,   Amsterdam   (03.28.10)
3. Before talking about the legality of the settlement
Indigenous ,   Nablus- Palestine   (03.28.10)
how could they employ a 15 year old child, this is called child labour...
4. A 15 year old boy is not a child, he is a young adult
Indigenous ,   Jerusalem-Israel   (03.28.10)
5. leftie kingpin Joop Cohen soon to be PM
jerry   (03.28.10)
the worst of them
6. #3
jerusalem, israel   (03.28.10)
Do you realize it is talking about a "palistinian" 15 year old? You just dug your grave deeper...
7. ynet headlines
(03.28.10)
How about : Dutch journalist cought attempting to fabricate anti -settler slander.
8. I am not a leftist. However, this time I
Vardina   (03.28.10)
believe the reporter. Israelis like to exploit and abuse Arab workers, just as they enslave Romanian or Philippine workers. This shows - however - that Israli employers do not discriminate Arabs. They enslave all workers equally. The government has to put an end to this shameful situation.
9. :: This happens all the time
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
Well no surprises here, the illegal Israeli settlers are always harassing and attacking non-Jews. It will be nice when these illegal settlers are removed back to Israel proper as per the Obama Peace Plan. In fact I dare say that we will start to see the start of the dismantling of the illegal settlements this year.
10. child labor #3, #8
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.28.10)
I don't know about the Dutch journalist, but there is a real question here. Fatah is drowning in billions of dollars received from the US, Europe and the UN. The Arab have more schools than the Americans, all subsidized by the UN. So why does a 15 year old Arab boy need a job from the Jews so he can buy food for his family instead of going to school? Where did all the money that Abbas and Fayyad receive go?
11. He should documebnt the ARAB occupation of Israel, north afr
Far More Indigenous ,   Judea Israel   (03.28.10)
africa and kurdish lands. The largest occupation on earth on lands twice the size of the USA. Arabia-Arabs Judea-Jews
12. Concern for The Safety of Foreign Journalists
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (03.28.10)
In most parts of the world, governments are very concerned with the safety of foreign journalists, and will provide extensive security to prevent meetings with unhappy people, and restrict the movement or ban journalists from certain areas altogether. What a horribly backward country Israel is! Poor Mr Kluwer would have been much better off in Indonesia, Lybia, Iran or Syria.
13. :: It happens in my own backyard
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
where I employ illegal Mexicans in sweatshop conditions. Matty aka BS aka Hess
14. 15 years old is not too young to work
Takan ,   Elat   (03.28.10)
Even in Europe, students can work from a young age during holidays or week end.. It is restricted by some rules but is completely legal. I myself worked at age 15 in a hotel in Brussels.
15. Escorted by
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (03.28.10)
a "15 year old boy?" Was this chap a reporter or a Priest
16. Fear?
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.28.10)
Just what were the settlers afraid of the that the journalist would see? The truth?
17. :: Oh look – a cowardly impersonator...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
...pretending to be me at #13 because he or she can’t think of anything of substance to reply with. What brings people to stoop so low as to pretend to be someone else just because they can’t contribute anything of merit? I reckon immaturity and lack of a decent education.
18. Dutch journalist was NOT "held by settlers"
soludo   (03.28.10)
He was held off by security when trying to enter private property, and refusing to let the security personnel check his bags.
19. Concern for The Safety of Foreign Journalists II
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (03.28.10)
Some governments even have foreign journalists killed to prevent their seeing things that would be too hard to live with. Such humanity we see in the world!
20. :: Who are you kidding #17?
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
Stealing my identity and then blame the victim. This is your mode of operation and Antisemitic thinking. Eat your heart out Michael impostor
21. :: More stories from my backyard
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
When local reporters become too nosy about what i am doing there, I fire at them to kill with my shotgun. End of story.
22. Poor Matty Groves, Just Like An Arab
Frankie Littlehammer ,   New Herstal, TX, US   (03.28.10)
Poor Matty Groves, takling his name from a beautiful Fairport Convention song, and then being upset when someone else claims that name too. Just like his beloved Palestinians, stealing other people's land and then saying it's forever theirs, crying 'Injustice!' when the original owners claim back part of it. Hamas already set the re-reconquest of Spain as their next goal. John Riley, 5D Byrdsland
23. European journalists
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (03.28.10)
European journalists and their anti-Israel bias are inviting hostile reactions. The minimum one can expect from a professional journalist is to be objective.
24. Surely you jest...
Indigenous, Canada ,   AKA Ginette Golden   (03.28.10)
Hamas is training an "army" of children from age 8 to 16 carrying guns and other shit like that... The Palestinian boy was in his right to take the money and run, then rat on the low life "journalist". As for Vardina #8, if you live in Israel, go back to Russia if you don't like it . As for Matty *&^#@! Groves, don't you have better things to do than reading Ynet... like making yourself happy?
25. :: Ginette - #24
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.28.10)
Don’t you know Ginette that I read Ynet to make myself ‘happy’ - just reading the comments from Ynuts like yourself cracks me up every time.
26. Dat is niet Mooi!
Israeli 2 ,   Schande   (03.28.10)
It is hard to believe how jealousy and envy turn into antisemites...but then we had our Hitler to remind us of how serious this can turn out. It all starts with little people like "reporters."
27. Cowardly impersonations:
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (03.28.10)
¨"Matty Groves" is a nom de plume meant to distract the Reader into thinking that he is English or of English heritage. In fact, in one of his recent posts, he used the pronoun "we" when speaking of "palestinians". He is a very careful poster and propagandist who finally slipped, revealing something personal about himself. In addition to his false name, he does not give the facts about where he resides nor his actual internet address. Yet he claims, "cowardly impersonations". This guy just fails to possess any worthwhile ability in terms of self reflection and his motives for posting are clear: Not to learn, not to dialogue, but to utilize an Israeli website to taunt and propagandize.
28. Matty Groves is a title of UK Fairport Convention LP
GZLives   (03.29.10)
So he's probably either an aging leftist living in the UK or N America. He could be Palestinian or not. He could also be Jewish for that matter ... sad to say. As for this story ... the reporter ought to consider himself very lucky it was settlers and not Islamists or he might not be able to speak ot of the head that would have been cut from his body ...
29. :: #24 - Ms. Golden
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (03.29.10)
It is our right to spread Islam anywhere in the world. Neither you nor anyone else can stop us. First we must get rid of this little nuisance "Israel" that blocks all our initial moves toward Universal Islamic Peace^^^^^^^
30. Anti-Israel Journalist should be deported
Brod ,   USA   (03.29.10)
This kind of element should not even be allowed to step foot in Israel. Israel should deport such anti-Israel foreigner immediately.
