35. I AM NOT A CRIMINAL, I AM A SETTLER
ricardo Macher ,   karne Shomron IL   (12.11.10)
How many times do i have to say that I am not a thieve, but a humble settler. I bought a tract of land for a cheap price. My house has a varanda, garden and a beautiful view. What is wrong with that? My life in Brazil was miserable with all this criminality there. I feel safer here. What is wrong with that? I have rights too.
36. to # 25 and SALMA

Salma ,   Palestine   (12.11.10)
It All Depends on You Ricardo , You Know what I mean, right?!
39. # 35
Jules   (12.11.10)
Ricardo, according to the Quran you have no rights, because this land was once formally occupied by Islam (although it was just desert and swamps), so Israel is considered as temporary and "unnatural" phenomenon by the muslims. You cannot convince them in the opposite, that would be against their religion.
40. " Good fences make good neighbors. "
Jeff Katz ,   New York, USA   (12.11.10)
They harass our women, stone our worshippers, burn our forests and celebrate our tragedies. Now the loonie lefties want them living next door.... as long as its not next door to them. Its about time we knew who pays these traitors!
41. This blog sounds a little like cowboys and Indians to me,
Jens Jarva ,   North Cape   (12.11.10)
with the (sometimes aggressive) new settlers complaining about non-pacified (or was it non-eliminated) natives and calling for no-Indians signs closer to the East Coast. Of course, many of the settlers of those times may to a large degree have been exposed to a situation they were unprepared for, while the new settlers of today know what aggressive kind of politics they serve. And no, I do not believe that Palestinians are angels or that the 'independent' reservations are well managed. Neither would I applaud any violence from their side or any internal racism on their side. But, and that is an important but: they should not be pushed in their own state and discriminated by extremist Rabbis in the territories reserved for the older settlers (that is inside the green line). To your delight, I do not master any divine scriptures, not even those by senator McCarthy. This means, as you know, that you do not have to listen to me. In addition, I am just a mainly North European blend, yawning at some of the stupidities presented in the name of nations, religions, and extreme ideologies.
42. To Ricardo, #24
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (12.11.10)
Yes, as a settler, living beyond the Green Line, you have Palestinian rights to live in Palestinian lands of PALESTINE. Now, give back your Israeli ID, leave us building a normal country alone in 1967 borders and shut up. If you so like these land, accept the fact that PA will now be the only government dealing with you
43. Racism wrong - International "Human Rights" is fraud
Josh   (12.11.10)
The human rights movements is nothing more than a well disguised trojan horse. We need to use G-d spoken Torah to restore righteousness and peace and the wolrd movements claiming they really care about rights in tructh only want to get their hooks into all nations. It is far from a bed fellow for Israel rather a trick.
44. # 43 So you choose a religious fundamentalism...
Jens Jarva ,   North Cape   (12.11.10)
that is made more potent by the totalitarian dogmas of former US senator McCarthy. I would almost like to say: to be continued in the next episode of the Simpsons, but I just say that you make the same kind of mistake as the Bolshevists once did. You lock your ears to all but the tunes from your own extreme ideology, which drastically and immediately wants to reshape everyone and everyhing in its glorious image.
45. #44 You seem to fail to deny it is a trick
Josh   (12.11.10)
You seem to fail to deny it is a trick but rather tell me what is wrong (not with Torah) but the Bolshevists. That and you say I am closing my ears by sticking to the truths I know. "So you choose..." Yes I do choose to reject it. It is not pure but a fraud. Sorry to say but you make a very weak case for the spy backed movement. You coud tout the human rights aspect. After all that is the guise the roman horse is rolling in under (something good for the people). Thanks for confirming what I am saying. If it were a pure human rights movement, I would be behind it pushing it through the gates of Israel right now, but ut is not, is it?
46. Israeli Media Ignores 1000+ Refugees at Human Rights March
Maya Paley ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.13.10)
I am appalled by the lack of reference to the over 1000 asylum seekers that were present at the Human Rights Day March this past Saturday. Neither Ynet's news website, nor any of the Israeli television news programs or newspapers properly acknowledged that such a large proportion of the March's participants were asylum seekers from Eritrea and Sudan. These people are continuously made to be invisible in Israeli society, which goes on ignoring the fact that thousands of people have come to Israel fleeing from persecution and violent conflict in their home countries, merely because the Israeli media itself refuses to acknowledge this fact. It is imperative that the Israeli news organizations recognize that these people deserve to have their voices heard. Rather than writing about them as infiltrators, which according to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights' definition, asylum seekers are not illegal immigrants in any country, and rather than calling them criminals when crime rates among these populations are low and actually much lower than than crime rates among the rest of the Israeli population, maybe we should start with acknowledging that these people exist and that over 1000 of them made the effort to stand up and walk to Rabin Square to tell their stories and to express how they feel only to find that no one was there to listen. In case you're interested in learning more, feel free to check out the website of ASSAF, a humanitarian aid organization for refugees and asylum seekers in Israel: assaf.org.il.
