1. none believes that balb, this is ramadan month
ghostq   (08.26.10)
inciting in the mosques r very common especially after the gathering at night, there was no man or mask, otherwise they would have kill him or hurt him, they just find excuss to riot, so they riot, weird I have a feeling the burning car was one of their arab neighbors, the car explotion after the gat burned might hurt their own community, but they got temper as muslim typical behavior.
2. Jews enter the mosque, so what?
(08.26.10)
it is not a crime. The stupidity is that muslims are for one state solution rejecting every other proposal, and think they get it ! NOBODY AGREES TO 1 STATE SOLUTION.
3. Did the masks hide the payos, beard and kippah? Stupid to
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (08.26.10)
these people Jews.
4. It was Nour and Yaakov Sullivan wearing burkas!
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (08.26.10)
5. Good people on New York City, you are looking at your future
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (08.26.10)
When you try to walk into the new Cordoba Centre, this could be the welcome you will get, wearing a Cross, Star of David, or even Peiyes and a Kipa.
6. they were Palestinians, not Arabs?
observer   (08.26.10)
settlers, taking a shortcut to a swimming pool, tried to break down a mosque gate.
7. Molotov cocktails was hurled
Shalom   (08.26.10)
into the Egged bus #2 at Shaar Shechem this past Motzei Shabbat which of course the Left media doesn't find important enough to mention because it's very obvious who were the ones to throw it into the bus there. The Left media is trying to get the world to think that the Arabs suddenly stopped their terrorism. Well, this past week alone there were almost 2 lynches and a molotov cocktail against a busload of Jews. That's what you get living alongside Arabs. In short, the Left media lie about chareidim and don’t report Arab terrorism against Jews.
8. the sublime and the grotesque - religion
john US   (08.26.10)
arson, stoning, beating, burning cars, fire engines, molotov cocktails,all part of the sophisticated lifestyle of our glorious capital; Jerusalem. An every day event?, of course not but, between the arabs, and fanatic jews, they manage to create havoc a few times a month. who foots the bill? the 'sap'. you and I via the city and state coffers, (our taxes). That we are getting what we deserve would be an understatement.
9. to #6 they r arabs they got identity card from Israel
ghostq   (08.26.10)
unless they want to send it back. :)
10. How convenient!
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (08.26.10)
Just when the negotiations are about to start. Wouldn't surprise me if the two sides (lunatic extremists both) were in on it together. Something about this is very fishy. I also bet in the near future we're gonna see more settlers' cars being "stoned" in the West Bank and maybe one or two high-profile foiled terrorist attacks. I don't trust either side anymore. The Palestinians are proven liars, whereas the settlers and their apologists are full of it, too.
11. How did they know???
AJ - Raalte   (08.26.10)
Just a few questions: How could they know the (imaginary?) masked men were Jews, if indeed there were any men and they did wear masks? They must have ultra-sharp vision. And is wearing masks not more in the line of Arab hooligans and terrorists?
12. It was Arabs who threw it into the mosques themselves
Shalom   (08.26.10)
and then blamed some "settlers". Typical Arabs! They always do that and Israel still hasn’t learned their "trick" in order to condemn Jews.
13. To # 5
Sam ,   Jerusalem   (08.26.10)
What do ypu mean? Mosque to be built for Muslim worshipers, as USA is a country of freedom, but dont mix with the country of occupation, discrimenation, racism, and house demolition,
14. Arabs acting violently and Jews are blamed. Not surprising.
(08.26.10)
15. "and alerted the youths"
Arie ,   BaGolan   (08.26.10)
So what they admit is that the "youths" were on standby to riot after their parents claim an alleged "Jew intrusion."
16. Torching
Ezra ,   Florida   (08.26.10)
They look for any non existing stupid excuse in order to cause havoc everywhere. Hey Bibi, how about for good measure if you torch a few arab homes in return, with their residents inside ( because they injured a few firefighters and police officers)as an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? Do you think they will learn something then? or maybe Abbas and Goldstone will join forces with Bloomberg and Obama togther with Ynet to condemn Israel for its inhumane dealing with the "long frusrated" "suffering" palestinians?
17. @#13: The Mosque is the symbol of Muslim domination.
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (08.26.10)
The occupation in Israel is an Arab one, over the Israelis. There isn't a single (public) spot in this country where an Arab can't enter within the state of Israel - Synagogues, Courts of Law, Government institutes, beaches, shopping mallls, schools, universities - all is open before them, and they can harass our women and beat the men to death (Eric Karp was beaten to death at the Tel Aviv beach a few moths ago, for defending his daughter). But if a Jew stumbles into an Arab institute or village - they're getting stoned (see Rabbi Yona Metzger last week), robbed (like the poor bloke who ventured into Ramallah to fix his car a few years ago and was rescued in the nick of events by two PA policemen - who were later punished for helping him) or worse (two reservists in Ramallah a few years back got lynched by the mob). An Arab neighbour in Jaffa can burn and demolish the synagogue bit by bit, and all Israeli police does is sit still - in fear of Arab riots. Same in many Galilean cities - Carmiel, Akko (where a Jewish girl was run over to death by an Arab who didn't like being told to shut the loud music on Yom Kippur) - fear of Arab rioting is on all the authorities. Even our policemen are afraid to deal with Arab thieves - the thieves either kill or maim them, or else if the policeman hurts the thief - the policeman goes to jail. Not to mention how they build - in East Jerusalem, Jaffa, Akka, but also inside their own villages - no plans, outlaw, threatening and hurting inspectors - small wonder sewage runs in the streets there, no law abides there! And don't let me start with all the traitors who betrayed Israel for our enemies - MKs Azmi Bashara and Hanin Zoabi, the Al-Kaeda cells and Sudani-training for Young Galilean Arabs, assisting and driving Palestinian suicide bombers - oh so furiating. So the feeling here is that this can't go on. We've had enough. Arabs within us have overdone it - if they can't be law-abiding citizens, if they keep fighting us from within to tear this country apart - then I say enough is enough. Now, as Abbas and Fayed are building the Palestinian State, and since MKs like Zoabi and Tibbi declare that they are Palestinians - let us part: Israel - only for Jews, Palestine - only for Arabs. Two States for Two Nations. Enough already!
18. Bat Zion great speech
Daniela   (08.26.10)
fully agree with you.
19. #4 - LOL! And then Sullivan...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.26.10)
and his Palestinian husband from Ramallah shed their burkas and treated the crowd to nude salsa dancing. Then the rioting began. Where is the accuracy in journalism anymore?
20. Because Plaestinians lie so often
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (08.26.10)
It hard to know what happened. If the men were masked how could they know of they were Jewish. As we here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_B1H-1opys It is common to stage and fabricate incidents as the above video proves. Plus it has been going on for a long, long time. More than likely, this was staged by the Palestinians themselves.
21. Oh no! Not the masked Jews again! ...
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (08.26.10)
This is like in the US when that crazy bitch Susan Smith killed her kids and said she was carjacked by "a black man with a gun."
22. Masked Jews ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
... tried to enter a mosque. Oh, of COURSE they did! I believe it. I really, really do. (If that is the best that the Palestinians can come up with in order to foment trouble, they're too damn stupid to have a state.) Oh, wait! We knew that already .....
23. masked men
ed ,   reno, america   (08.26.10)
well how could they tell they were Israelis if they wore masks and it was dark. when in the news media photos of the area are constantly showing pictures of palestinians with masked faces. a mask doesn't make you an Israeli. i am amazed that you are reporting this incident without and corobaration. this is so one sided. its always the poor palestinians being bullied by the the big bad Israelis.
24. Sarah no. 22
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.26.10)
What do you mean “we”? You have some cheek! Don’t try and represent me or anyone else here with your bitter and hate filled comments. Stick to the singular tense in your vile posts and don’t taint the rest of us with your garbage.
25. Silwan 70% Hebron Residents
DAVID ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.26.10)
It is well known the majority of Silwan residents are from the Hebron area and only since the mid tolate 80's The original residents were given land in north Jerusalem & the old houses were to be torn down to expose the Biblical cave graves Teddy Kollek who wanted Jerusalem divided did not follow up people from Hebron moved in. The majority in Silwan have no residency permits.and Jews entering a Mosque in that neighborhood is ludicrous !
26. Gee 24 reply to Sarah B
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (08.26.10)
While Sarah may sound bitter she never writes garbage, ever. I can understand a lefty not wanting to be represented by her and you can tell her not to speak for you if you want. Just don't tell her not to speak for others because some of us don't really mind. You certainly don't speak for me.
27. KICK THEM OUT THEN!
chris ,   bangor,wales   (08.26.10)
KICK THEM OUT AND FILL JERUSALEM WITH JEWS..IF YOU DON'T KICK THEM OUT NOW,THEY WILL KICK YOU OUT LATER..IT YOUR CHOICE. BUT ANY ARAB THAT WANT TO USE VIOLENT SHOULD BE KICKED OUT OF ISRAEL COMPLETELY NEVER TO RETURN AGAIN!
28. #5 but New Yorkers are not settlers
observer   (08.26.10)
29. are settlers civilians?
observer   (08.26.10)
look at the other side of the coin; the many security men- hiding behined those civilians- use them as human shields by Israel's own standard. Yet, the official Bet Salem (NGO?) has another view! “The holy martyr, Baruch Goldstein, is from now on our intercessor in heaven. Goldstein did not act as an individual; he heard the cry of the land of Israel, which is being stolen from us day after day by the Muslims. He acted to relieve that cry of the land... The Jews will inherit the land not by any peace agreement but only by shedding blood!” said Rabbi Israel Ariel Eulogizing. Settlers1, go back into your country Israel; the West Bank is internationally recognized OCCUPIED land.
30. Eaglebeak #26
The real Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (08.27.10)
I had nothing to do with #24. It is another coward that is too stupid and afraid to use their own name. I have never said anything like that about Sarah B. #24 is a stupid lazy coward.
