1. Let the settlers become part of Palestine
Free Thinker ,   Free World   (08.05.10)
Im sure the Palestinians will know how to deal with these thugs !
2. There should be no settlers in the West Bank - period -
Brod ,   USA   (08.05.10)
3. Very interesting
Peyman ,   Haifa   (08.05.10)
So the same Defense minister who thinks it is "not Jewish" to expel children of illegal immigrants in order to safeguard the Jewish Identity of this country feels that it is perfectly OK to kick out patriotic Jews who live in sovereign Israeli land? These Jews have a right to live where ever they want in the land of Israel. That is why it is called the land of Israel. Leave them alone.
4. I'm BORN in Gush Etzion! Why I can build a home?
Itamar ,   Gush Etzion   (08.05.10)
Please stop to call us settlers! We are around 100.000 Jews, second and third generation of those who settled here. We are grown up here, Yehuda and Shomrom is native to us. We are not here for political or religious reasons, we just happened to have here our home and we will not go away here, as Arabs from Jaffo do not go away. Give us back the right to build our homes here. What is our crime?? That we are born here and happen to be Jews? Are we in (Nazi)-Germany where a native born Jew was declared illegal? Unfortunately, that is what the 'peace' camp's attitude to us comes down to.
5. Law-breaking settlers
Michael ,   Haifa   (08.05.10)
Scores of law-breaking hoodlum settlers have been arrested over the past months, but we hear nothing of their investigation, their being brought to trial and punished, if found guilty. Like the mafia in Sicily, they seem to have subdued the law enforcement process.
6. An iniquitous anti-Semitic govenment
Avi ,   Geneva   (08.05.10)
backed by iniquitous supreme court and iniquitous police force, together with iniquitous media. Surely the Mandate of Heaven will soon be removed from these people, and a truly Jewish state be restored.
7. Thugs
kwelam ,   BYO   (08.05.10)
These thugs should be forced to pay compensation to their victims
8. unnecessary work
olim hadashim ,   tel-aviv/israel   (08.05.10)
The prority of the police force shall be prevention of crime.Jews who are willing to build up their land shall be permitted to do so.This the most natural right of them.
9. #7 correct
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (08.05.10)
The civil-administration workers were accompanied by hundreds of the YSM stormtrooper thugs. During their night, when the law-abiding citizens were asleep, these animals attacked the Jews, wounding a sleeping baby. Later, the YSM stormtroopers beat any Jew they saw, including a 16 year old girl. But don't hold your breath, these thugs won't be punished because they probably stole all video evidence and the AG will say that prosecuting police who illegally beat Jews is not in the public interest.
10. 4# Same Logic applies to Palestinains
SAM ,   ME   (08.05.10)
And there 2 million of them. Fix that first.
11. I think the guy who tourched the field
SAM ,   ME   (08.05.10)
wanted to show the Palestinians how Jews can be "the light amongst nations".
12. What am I missing here?
Alan ,   Europe   (08.05.10)
Possibly someone can help me out here, I must be missing something. Everybody is blaiming cursing inuslting Barak and Netanyahu, Labor and Likud because of the demolitions, so far I can follow, it makes sense. But how come nobody is blaming Lieberman and Eli Yishai, Yisrael Beiteinu and Shas as well? Are they not part of the government as well? To me, this looks like some unballanced silly criticism. It seems to me Shas and Yisrael Beiteinu are supporting the demolitions, otherwise they would have to break up the coalition and possibly ask for new elections. That would make sense, But possibly I must be missing something. Have a nice day
13. Itamar #4
Barbara ,   Israel   (08.05.10)
You say What is our crime? Well I will tell you.... Stealling land that is not belonging to you, Attacking the local Palestinians including their kids, Derstroying their farmland, Attacking the brave Israeli soldiers that protect you, Refusing to obey state laws If you did these things in Israel you would spend most of your live in prison as you keep breaking the laws.You say you were born in Gush Etzion to parents who live their illegally , so what? kids of the illegal immergrants were born in Israel and they still get deported and don’t try and pull our heart strings with that Are we in nazi germany bull*hit. If you act like a thug you get treated like a thug. I have no pity for people like you who think the world revolved around you and noone else.
14. Structures??? =A synagogue. Did they burn the Torah scroll?
m   (08.05.10)
What it is a country called that destroyes synagogues? The association is pretty bad, and I'm sure all the outraged commenters on the "rioting" did not bash an eyelash at this sacrilege. A Jewish state that buldozes synagogues.
15. Who will compensate the palestinian land owner
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (08.05.10)
It is Israel's duty to charge the criminals and make sure land owner is compensated.
16. #4: to Barbara
Itamar ,   Gush Etzion   (08.05.10)
I never stole any land, neither my parents. The land I live on was bought already in the 1930's legally from Arabs. Also Jews lived Kfar Etzion, Chevron, Shimon Zaddik for many generations already. Also I never destroyed any farmland neither I don't know anyone who did this or would even justigying this. I see from your gross generalizations that you actually never have been here and tried to see our point. Tell me Barbara, why Palestine must be free of Jews, and Israel must be for 2 peoples?
17. Rioters
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.05.10)
The Druze riot, the Arabs riot and the Settlers riot. Just further proof of what they really are...
18. #1 AND OTHERS
yaakov ,   jerusalem   (08.05.10)
there is a preliminary historical fact that must be established now. There has never been a civilization or a nation referred to as "Palestine" and the very notion of a "Palestinian Arab nation" having ancient attachments to the Holy Land going back to time immemorial is one of the biggest hoaxes ever perpetrated upon the world! There is not, nor has there ever been, a distinct "Palestinian" culture or language. Further, there has never been a Palestinian state governed BY Arab Palestinians in history, nor was there ever a serious Arab-Palestinian national movement until 1964.. There is no Palestine Only occupied JEWISH land
19. Under International Law settlements R legal
sam ,   USA   (08.06.10)
USA-Britian Treaty 1924 concertrated settlement=Barak actions R illegal
20. #18 Yaakov
Fredrik-C   (08.06.10)
I'm just curious, in case what you'r saying is correct, then how come all the israeli media TV Radio and WWW and Print Media refer to them as "Palestinians"? Palestianina vehicles, Palestinian homes, Palestinian agricultural fields, Palestinian people. At least thats what this article is saying. Yaakov from Jerusalem have you read this article? I want to learn, tell me please : How come?
