1. Villagers who suffer from terror...
Ken ,   Switzerland   (04.16.10)
Give these villagers sniper rifles and rubber bullets. Perhaps these arsons will think twice before acting.
2. Don’t blame the Jews!
Mikael ,   Europe   (04.16.10)
It is not a Jewish phenomenon. Don’t blame the Jews! Colonization, and occupation are well known behavior of many people and races. It is the uprooting of morals, values and people’s minds during these shameful and aggressive acts that is the problem. It brings forth the evil sides of people. It is shameful when the Israeli people turn a blind eye to the sufferings and crimes, just as the majority turned a blind eye on the sufferings of Jews I Europe in the thirties.
3. Will we get similarly detailed accounts of Arab harassment?
Ari   (04.16.10)
Despite the fact that Jewish property, fields, farms and vineyards are constantly vandalised and torched by Arab mobs and leftist/anarchist provocateurs from abroad, as well a by extreme leftists from Tel Aviv, those incidents never seem to make news unless they take lives (and even then they are soon forgotten). Why do Arab victims matter more than Jewish ones?
4. #1-What kind of warmonger are you.
Joey Rose ,   Portland   (04.16.10)
advocating the use of weapons? The settlers often have weapones that we seldom, if ever hear about them using. Someone in that village screwed up bigtime and it is rather sad that many times innocents have to pay the price, but hey, it's not Switzerland. Stick to what you know.
5. :: Ari - #3 - 'Constantly' my a$$!
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (04.16.10)
What planet are you living on? Name the last time a settler car(s) was torched? Show me the weekly reports of Palestinian civilians attacking poor helpless illegal settlers as they try and steal Palestinian land?
6. The price of failure is getting higher
Marcel ,   Florida   (04.16.10)
When the Palestinian terrorists kill Jews and incite violence the government of Israel is in appeasement mode, rewarding them with large sums of money,food,and Jewish land. The Israeli government goes after non threatening Jewish settlers and throws them off their land and homes. Violence and terrorism are rewarded by the Israeli government. Look at the free Sheikh Saleh of the Islamic Movement. Maybe others are tired of being abused by a corrupt and spineless government and have learned this reality ? The new 'price tag' is something the leftist appeasers will have to deal with. If they push too hard while rewarding the Islamic terrorists things will only get worse.
7. May I sugest the settlers get what they give
EZra   (04.16.10)
go to that illegal settlement torch their cars and buldoze their houses
8. No one will be punished
David ,   USA   (04.16.10)
The Israeli government incites this racism and hatred towards Palestinians...the settlers are just thugs they send to harass and harm the Palestinians in their effort to ethnically-cleanse the lands. No settlers will ever be caught or punished for these crimes, in fact they are "heroes" to their people for doing these things to Palestinians in the name of Zionism.
9. #5 "Matty"
Ari   (04.16.10)
A week ago a man from Yitzhar was critically injured by stonethrowers who attacked his car as he was driving along the road. In Havat Gil'ad, in fact, a serious arson incident before Rosh HaShana destroyed a number of homes, damaged others and cut the power for weeks. There have been uprootings of vineyards in Gush Etzion on a semi-regular basis, as well as several incidents of burned fields in Yitzhar. This is just off the top of my head. Of course I can't show you weekly reports from YNet or Haaretz because they don't report those incidents, hence my previous post. The reason why Arabs can't get into the Jewish communities to torch their cars is because Jews have to build security fences around their villages and towns to stay safe, which usually prevents Arab thugs from entering. When they don't have fences (e.g. Bat Ayin) they get attacked by knife-wielding or axe-wielding psychopaths. When was the last time a "settler" with an axe attacked a 7 year old boy? How did you feel about that particular incident?

How about rabbi Chen for starters

This sadistic psychopath did NOT attack ARAB children.His victims were Jewish children. So how is it YOUR business, for starters?
