mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (10.08.10)
and there's a big ol' dose of it right there.
2. adults and cameramen seeing children used as a frontline
(10.08.10)
and do nothing until they get the "scoop". It was either a kid gets run over or the guy getting stoned to death.
3. Arabs trying to lynch a whole family should be run over!

4. I hope that was 4 wheel drive.

5. A Palywood work-related accident. Sweet.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.08.10)
6. What did you expect?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.10)
It is clear from the content of the article that this was a deliberate attempt to ambush Mr. Be'eri. Dozens of masked men? Stone throwers? Cameras at the scene ahead of the confrontation? A car blocking Mr. Be'eri's retreat? What was Mr. Be'eri supposed to do? Sit there and wait to be killed? Oh, I think not. I think not. I think he did the only thing he could do, and if the end result is two fewer stone-throwers, perhaps it should be done more often.
7. The true victim is the man driving the car.
Michael Hyam ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.08.10)
it is very unfortunate that a man has to be subject to stone throwers. In a time where cars are being ambushed and the drivers murdered. It is unfortunate that jews must be subject to these conditions. To me there is no point even addressing the people hit by the car. They completely deserve it.
8. Yes, and what was he supposed to do?
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (10.08.10)
Wait for his windows and windshield to be smashed and dragged out of the vehicle to be beaten to death?
9. Cameras everywhere
jordan ,   Canada   (10.08.10)
Rocks are like Bullets. It is obvious the people were throwing rocks. People who have cameras didnt try to stop this. We are supposed to feel sorry for people who throw rocks at cars. it is obvious that the driver had to leave to eliminate damage and possible injury to himself and his passenger
10. #1 is irrational. #2 is smart and logical
Israeli 2   (10.08.10)
11. settler hits stone trowers
Jerry ,   TEXAS USA   (10.08.10)
It was staged. That is self defense. Too bad he did not kill them. He should have run over the people with cameras also.
12. I call it defensive driving.....
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (10.08.10)
13. Arabs reached a new low
CJ   (10.08.10)
Sending their kids to do Jihad on the road, throwing rocks at cars in the middle of the road while the adults are standing idly. Apparently, there was nothing but cameras there. The police should investigate, I bet Al Jazeera planned this. They probably paid a nice sum for each child's "head". Palliwood at work. And we are left to wonder why Arabs hate their children and abuse them.
14. he did the right thing
(10.08.10)
15. As a man of peace, Be'eri.....
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (10.08.10)
avoided having to put a slug in their respective skulls.
16. Great! Hopefully they were hurt badly...
Daniel   (10.08.10)
17. what can one say?!!!!!
Salma ,   Palestine   (10.08.10)
thank God for the safety of our children.
18. A perfect example of self defense.
Paul ,   USA   (10.08.10)
Lesson of this story ? People have every right to defend themselves, by any means necessary. That includes using a car.
19. I whould have done the same thing.
Vardina   (10.08.10)
20. Nothing more than a "vehicle" of self defense
DL ,   Florida   (10.08.10)
21. amm. what he was doing in Silwan ?
Joy ,   NJ   (10.08.10)
looking for truble
22. Settler
Natan   (10.08.10)
I would have done the same thing without any hesitation!!!Those teens are sent to kill Jews. Period!!! This settler would have been stoned and beat to death had they been able to break into his car. Those teens are nothing but young killers brain washed by their leaders!!!
23. Why use a car for a job that need's a Truck!!!!!
Gr ,   USA   (10.08.10)
24. Exactly
Larry ,   P Alto   (10.08.10)
This is set up as an ambush. 'Cameramen' are alerted. If David was killed, then it gets distributed as a snuff film; if he survives by taking desperate measures, then he is prosecuted by (basically) anti-settler Israeli police. In either case, they consider it a Win. There was also the case of the near-murder of Col. Indor and his wife last week returning from prayer. Massive rocks - not 'stones' penetrated their windshield; one injured Indor in the head.
25. If the Cops and Courts
Ron ,   OC, USA   (10.08.10)
won't protect Jews then this Jew did exactly the right thing.
26. Watch closely.....
Simon ,   Rishon LeZion, IL   (10.08.10)
I'm not really an enthusiastic supporter of Elad - personally I'd rather go to the beach or to the pub. But what else was David Be'eri supposed to do? He was blocked in, under attack, and had only one way out. He should be commended for his quick thinking. If you watch the video closely, you will see that at the beginning he tried to go around the guy that he eventually hit. But the guy basically ran into his path. And the guy also didn't appear to land too badly. You can see that he even starts to get up at the end, but possibly realises that the resulting footage won't be as dramatic. These attackers should be the ones under inverstigation. If it wasn't for Be'eri's quick thinking, we might instead be reading about the lynching of a fellow Jew instead.
27. he is 100% right, i would also do that if i was there
(10.08.10)
28. it was all planned !! the cameras were there by accident?

30. AND NO ARAB WANTS TO HELP THE OTHER ARAB KID
