1. I see, anti-Semetic no peace now thinks reaction to murder
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.04.10)
of a pregnant woman should be to give all the land back and have all Jews march into the sea. The muslum terrorists kill pregnant women and children for riding in a car now that the roadblocks are removed and they think that their terrorist enterprises, mosques and schools should preach even more hatred without a price. Well, there is a price to be paid for killing innocent civilians. Unfortunately it is a small price, the terrorists should be hanged in a public square.
2. Wake up Israel
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (10.04.10)
Violence leads to violence. Terror leads to terror. The settlers will be the couse of bringing Israel down and then the jews will have to wait some 3000 more years to get another chance. Do you really want that?
3. I live in a national religious yishuv in yesha and...
Alice In Wonderland ,   Yesha, Israel   (10.04.10)
I denounce this disgusting behaviour. Jewish settler extremism is dispicable, doesn't solve anything rather creates more hate, and is an absolute CHILLUL HASEM.
4. IF
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.04.10)
IF it was settlers then shame on them... they ar ea scourge on israel... i think it might have been arabs looking only to incite though...
5. Palestinian sins.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.04.10)
Coming home to roost.
6. i know who did this....
rashid ,   palistinian   (10.04.10)
it was firebugs believe me they are very common this time of year they fly over from amrica and infest the land and cause havoc believe me they are fat and hairy and eat up all the land....we had them in gaza for years but got rid of them
7. Re #2
Andrew Brehm   (10.04.10)
Offering peace leads to terror. Giving up land leads to terror. Opening the borders leads to terror. And terror leads to terror. Everything leads to terror with those people. In my opinion the Jewish criminals who destroyed the mosque should be punished just like Arab criminals who destroy synagogues. They should be put in prison and then huge demonstrations should be staged in Europe demanding their release from prison. Alternatively, once we found the criminals, we should put them in prison and then let them out again in a "prisoner swap" together with Arab terrorists the world tells us to let out of prison for "peace".
8. not gulty until prove otherwise? why u assome
yaron   (10.04.10)
they were jews that done that?
9. TO THE GOVT OF ISRAEL/ BENJAMIN NETANYAHU
Benjamin ,   Singapore   (10.04.10)
REBUILT THE MOSQUE WITH PROPER FACILITIES FOR THE MUSLIMS. SHAME ON THOSE WHO SET FIRE TO PLACES OF WORSHIP ! THIS IS RACIAL AND RELIGIOUS EXTERMISM ! ACT SUCH AS THESE AND THE CRIMINAL DESERVE TO BE PLACED IN GEHENAM ! PLEASE REBUILD THE MOSQUE WITH STATE JEWISH MONEY ! REPENT FROM YOUR SINS AND BUILD THE MOSQUE FRO THE MUSLIMS ! DO IT ! BENJAMIN SINGAPORE
10. Once again...
Dirty Shirt ,   Israel   (10.04.10)
Once again there is a story about a mosque burning. Once again Ynet is quick to accept the palestinian claims at face value. Once again there will be an arrest of "extremist settlers". Once again they will be held without remand. Once again they will be released for lack of evidence. Once again the government needs to paint the settlers as extremists so that it can garner the support that is needed to implement a building freeze.
11. David, #4 : Agreed. Let's wait and see.
The 11th Man ,   London   (10.04.10)
12. Disgusting, wrong, sad, and benefits no one
Adam   (10.04.10)
The idiots who did this need to be locked up. You who say, "well, this is the price tag for murdering our people," have a pretty childish (and destructive) worldview. Really, 5 lives is worth one book being burned? And not even the property of the murderer? You want to tell them they can't get away with killing us? Then continue to build your homes, saying "there's no place on Earth a Jew cannot live." Have babies. Respond to their death-obsession with a life obsession. Don't hit your neighbor to your right because the neighbor to the left did something to you.
13. question to all israelis
(10.04.10)
you know that Palestinians are Semitic too?? because it looks not and when anything happens its anti-antisemitism but when it happens to Palestinians its not!!!
14. Perhaps a simpler answer
Arie ,   BaGolan   (10.04.10)
Sunni vs Shi'a as is common throughout the Muslim world. Massacres of one over the other in Iraq, Iran, Syria, Lebanon, Kuwait, Saudi, and on and on.
15. Maybe they can rebuild at Ground Zero
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (10.04.10)
16. #1. Bunnie 2 wrongs dont make a right
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (10.04.10)
Why make excuses for them? They are pure and simple Anti Social thugs who seem to have no respect for the law and quite frankly dont give a peanut about anyone else Jew, Muslim or Chistian
17. No doubt that Arabs THEMSELVES torched the mosque
(10.04.10)
and then put the blame on Jews as usual. Only Leftists would believe otherwise.
18. Re #9 You must be new to this
Andrew Brehm   (10.04.10)
Churches and synagogues (especially synagogues) are burned down by Muslims in Arab countries all the time. No synagogue destroyed by Arabs was ever rebuild by Arab money. This item is news because for once it was a mosque. It feels like the Muslims are suddenly on the receiving end of the hatred they themselves created. That's a shame. But it has been a shame when the Arabs burned down synagogues, not only now.
19. The 3 recent mosques were torched by the Arabs THEMSELVES
(10.04.10)
and then they put the blame on Jews as usual. Only Leftists and anti-Semites, including Jewish anti-Semites would believe otherwise.
20. Re #13
Andrew Brehm   (10.04.10)
Yes, we know that Arabs are Semitic too. But the word "anti-Semitism" refers to Jews, not Semites. Back when the word was created, Jews were the only Semites in Europe (apart from Malta) and hence hatred for Jews was named as hatred for Semites. That that is technically the wrong term was evident during World War 2 when Nazi Germany was allied with the Arabs and when Hitler had Muslim friends and certainly didn't think that Arabs were "Semites" in the sense Jews were. The only way "Palestinians" can be victims of anti-Semitism is when they are mistaken for Jews or want to live in peace with Jews.
21. #3 - You know what is a bigger chilul Hashem?
Debbie Levine ,   YESHA ISRAEL   (10.04.10)
When a religious woman condemns her fellow Jews in public without being 100% SURE that her fellow Jews were involved in this mosque burning. Did you also publicly condemn the killing in cold blood of a pregnant woman?
22. #18 please note
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.04.10)
The Arabs are not on the receiving end of anything. This is the fourth mosque in Israel that was reported to be attacked by Jews. In all cases the damage was minor and in all cases Jews were arrested and eventually released because they were innocent.
23. I Suspect arab Involvement
Emanon ,   USA   (10.04.10)
Good way to stir up trouble and rouse the rabble to committ acts of violence against the Jews. In other words, the usual arab game plan.
24. no.19
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.04.10)
Who has the most to gain by committing ithese acts of defiling Mosques,the Moslem himself so he can now go on the rampage ,like he does so often ,in India ,torching and burning Hindu/Sikh temples ,there are Islamofascists like Haniyeh.Mes hal and al Zahar who have a special vested interest in not allowing peace talks to succeed; big bucks is the name of the game Hamastan is the playground ?
25. Why is Peace Now quoted? they have nothing to do with this.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (10.04.10)
unless they orchestrated it.
26. torching mosque
Yoel ,   Ossining,NY   (10.04.10)
It is obvious that such an act constitutes chilul hashem. On a more practical level, it sets a dangerous precedent. What is our answer, when shuls and sephrae torah are torched? Benjamin from Singapore is correct; the Isreali government must act quickly to apprehend and punish these criminals and rebuild the mosque.
27. disgusting
observer   (10.04.10)
the majority prefer flattening rather than making indoor bonfire.
28.  THE ARSON
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (10.04.10)

BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (10.04.10)
MY HOUSE WAS SET ON FIRE IN MALAYSIA - I AM THE LAST JEW WHO LEFT SEREMBAN, MALAYSIA. I KNOW THE PAINS AND AGONY,IT IS VERY HARD FOR JEWS TO FORGET HENIOUS MALLICIOUS ACTS AS REPORTED BY YNET.

WE LOST TWO TEMPLE, WE WILL WAIT FOR THE THIRD TO BE BUILT ON DAY- COMMING SOON I THINK ! THANK YOU FOR YOUR POST. BEN SINGAPORE
30. Did Abbas beg forgiveness and for calm after terrorist attac
zeev ,   passaic, US   (10.04.10)
After the terrorists murdered people in Kiryat Arba, did Abbas come running begging forgiveness and saying he was sorry? How about when the Fatah terrorists targeted the pregnant woman and shot her in the leg? Oh that's right, Fatah "claimed responsibility" meaning they admitted openly that they planned and carried out that terror attack as an "operation." And abbas is their leader. But a burnt rug inside a mosque will derail the possibility of Israeli national surrender to their enemies? So be it!
