31. 17. Salma, so right!
What did u ,   expect?   (10.08.10)
Thank G-d for the safety of our children. Now, where were the parents of those idiotic children?
32. I want to thank Al-Jazeera
Andrew Brehm   (10.08.10)
I want to thank Al-Jazeera for showing in their video that the men were throwing stones at the car before he tried to get away. I doubt the western media would have bothered to include the before detail. They would only have shown how the car hit the men, not why.
33. planned asault with cameras running
Prof. David ,   Rochester USA   (10.08.10)
The mans life was threatened. Surrounded on all sides by maniacal youths hurling rocks. What more would have awaited him if he stopped. Totally justifiable.
34. does not matter what he was doing in Silwan
real vision ,   usa   (10.08.10)
The fact is arab attacked a car of civilians. If this is how arabs behave to their possible neighbor in peace talks then why have any peace talks and the palestinians will continue to live in a cesspool of their own making
35. not surprising
real vision ,   usa   (10.08.10)
that NO arab countries want the palestinians as neighbors either. Time for a new gene pool
36. righto
David ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.08.10)
the lil thug arabs should not have been throwing rocks.
37. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.08.10)
Oh, yes, the "Palestinians" are REALLY concerned about the safety of their children. Putting them out on the front lines during the intifada -- hoping that the kids would get hurt in order to have that perfect Kodak moment (what's a child doing out on the street at 11:00 a.m. on a schoolday?); using them as suicide bombers; teaching them to throw boulders at passing cars; and now, having them throw stones in the path of an oncoming car while the adults stand around, filming. Oh, yes, the "Palestinians" are REALLY concerned about the safety of their children.
38. car jihad
mimi ,   n.y.   (10.08.10)
a brave kafirs response to arab car jihads!
39. There's a lesson here
Chatich   (10.08.10)
Time for David to trade his little subaru for a land rover!
40. a political move
observer   (10.08.10)
Israel came from the Hebrew name Yisra'el meaning "G-d contended". Israel (who was formerly named Jacob wrestled with an angel. "Then the man said, "Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with men and have overcome." (Genesis 32:28) . So, the fervent settlers in keeping with Jacob path are even ready to be G-d contended. Their belief that history can be best understood as a series of confrontations between the Jews and those who seek their destruction, and their faith in their ultimate triumph, make them hesitant to turn against their own, even in dire circumstances. many settlers believe that they and their supporters are inheriting the mantle of Zionism, so promoting an internal war would be counterproductive. Elad Association is not a research institution interested in archeology, but a political tool for the Judaization of East Jerusalem through the expulsion of the Palestinian inhabitants. Elad settlers are destroying evidence of the presence of many other peoples and cultures – 21 strata dating from the time of the Canaanites, who established the first permanent settlement in Silwan some 5,000 years ago, and the levels of the Muslims who ruled the place from the mid-seventh to the early twentieth centuries.
41. do you believe deceitful settler called Davideleh?
observer   (10.08.10)
Be’eri (Davideleh) fancied Abasi’s house which was called turn handed over to Elad, and Abbasi found Davida’le, the phony tour guide and the phony friend, settling his house, while he, Abasi, was removed from it. Later, when the whole thing went public, it was discovered during the Klogman committee (headed by the Justice Department chairman) that Elad’s and Ateret Cohanim’s lawyers were the ones who had brought the custodian the declarations testifying to the fact that certain assets were absentee property - and that some of the declarations were false. In the discussion of a petition to the High Court of Justice, three justices decided that the activities of the custodian in the matter of the Abbasi home "were tainted by extreme lack of good faith."
42. They got what they deserved
Adam Helberg ,   USA   (10.08.10)
They attacked the car with potentially lethal force and should not expect to escape unscathed. He did the right thing and I woul react the same way.
43. Why are there so many photographers?
vperez ,   Puerto Rico   (10.08.10)
The end of the clip shows photographers ready to document the action. This was so staged, as are many of the incidents recorded on CNN and the like.
44. stones in silwan
fred ,   philly usa   (10.08.10)
I dont see dozens of masked men
45. Throwing stones is a crime anywhere
RayS ,   USA   (10.08.10)
In any normal country "youths" stoning a car would be charged with a felony crime. If an ambush can be shown they should also be charged with conspiracy. If others were involved ,they also should be charged.
46. Al Jazeera co-conspirators?
RayS ,   USA   (10.08.10)
If there is evidence that Al Jazeera cameramen were involved in an ambush ,they should be imprisoned pending trial for attempted murder.
47. 8-Kyle, havent you learned anything by now???
Ros ,   Israel, Modiin   (10.08.10)
After hours of conversation with Europeans and people worldwide i came to conclusion that its obvious that the bad man in the car should give his life to protect the innocent Palestinian children! In fact this is a direct evidence that the Israeli are running down Palestinian civilians in the middle of day light! this is how absurd the world is today, and unfortunately this is exactly what you will hear from the media worldwide.
48. Arabs - They care more about PR than the lives of their kids
ACT ,   1   (10.08.10)
So many cameramen, so many people stood there and did nothing to make them get off the road. A well-planned ambush by the lying Arabs. One word to sum it up: Pallywood.
49. #17 Salma
Lazerbenabba ,   London, England   (10.08.10)
I don't know about thanking god for the safety of your children; if this god had any common sense it would have drummed into your and the childrens minds that stone throwing is dangerous, both to the attacked and in this case the attackers. Salma, when are you going to get some balance in your talkbacks; anything your fellow arabs do no matter how self defeating and stupid you always manage to twist and somersault to make it appear that it is always the others fault?
50. The parents were holding the cameras handing them the rocks
Z ,   Jerusalem   (10.08.10)
They were holding the cameras
51. A well planed plot...from the Palestinians.Even a cameraman?
Ari ,   Romania   (10.08.10)
It was a plot. A well planed one and the arab reporter called to film the sequence. How convenient. A clear provocation. Using Minors to create problems. Very Cowardly of the Palestinians. Those kids have poissened minds and should not be treated as minors. As for Salma I tell you take care of your children and stop using them as shields, and provocateurs. Very cowardly of Palestinians to do this.
52. To Joy NJ# 21. He lives there in the area, Dig?
Ari ,   Romania   (10.08.10)
Now Jews have to ask permision where to travel in Jerusalem.mmmm I don't think so!
53. They simply filmed themselves provoking...
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (10.08.10)
The 'kid' on the left that got run over was about to unwisely launch a stone with all his might into the car's windscreen. Not doubt, IBashers and lefties will only be able to comment on his comeuppance.
54. Throwing stones is danger
Dani ,   Amsterdam NL   (10.08.10)
No regret , parents are responsible for they children action.In that specific case they are feeding them with hate for Jews and this is the result. No one have the right to blame Mr. Be'eri Someone have to react to the logics that give them a sort of immunity because of this and because of that.
55. People in glass houses
Chris Perver ,   Bangor, N. Ireland   (10.08.10)
shouldn't throw stones. You don't across the road at an oncoming car weidling a stone, and expect to get away unscathed. He'll think twice before doing it again.
56. Title should be: Settler leader escapes organized lynch.
Yigal   (10.08.10)
57. Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6
Potash Katiftof ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (10.08.10)
If he felt he was in danger, he had to protect himself. If someone is throwing stones at you, do they expect you to keep eyes on the road to avoid hitting you? Anyone deliberately throwing rocks at vehicles or soldiers is giving up their right to safety.
58. Joy #21: Are you saying that Jews do
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (10.08.10)
not have a right to visit in parts of their own country? We haven't quite given Israel over to pockets of hostile Arabs the way Europeans have it their own respective countries.
59. Where can we donate to help fixing his car
izzy ,   Eastern Wahington   (10.08.10)
Is there a link to donate, also maybe install a water gun to his car. Run over those dumb bastards what the hell do you expect throwing stones at a moving car.
60. These illegal settlers are killers and murderers
christianpalestinian ,   bethesda, maryland   (10.08.10)
They must leave the west bank and east jerusalem without conditions.
