1. If it were Arabs attacking Jews....
Edgar ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (12.21.10)
Your are correct Mr. Farah: "if it were Arabs attacking Jews, no one would have been released".......because our cowardly government does not prosecute Arab attackers, rioters, and criminals. It hardly even makes our liberal papers.
2. Libel
Jules   (12.21.10)
Jafar Farah, you must either provide a proof against Lieberman, or be investigated for criminal offence called "libel" (i.e. slander).
3. This is the result of Arabs throwing
(12.22.10)
stones to passing cars and beating people going to prey in the old city in the morning, as recorded on camera and shown on IL tv. The police do not prosecute them too. Sorry but you brought it on youselves. Now deal with it.
4. :: Copycat crime?
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (12.22.10)
It is possible that these Israelis were copying the gang who murdered Ilan Halimi in France as news of the convictions of the 16 people was in the news recently.
5. If true, then bravo to the Jews!
sk ,   USA   (12.22.10)
How many more stabbings, murders, and rapes have to be perpetrated before Jews defend themselves?
6. East Jerusalem must be free
Joseph   (12.22.10)
East Jerusalem must be part of the State of Palestine free from Israeli control. They should not have to be part of such a racist, discriminatory state of Israel.
7. Eli Yishai encourages rascisim
Avi ,   Israel   (12.22.10)
Eli Yishai the biggest rascist that walked the earth regulary fans the flames of rascisim at any chance he gets, no wonder people are being attacked , sadly there are those bleeting sheep such as Sh-ass supporters that belive him and his type
8. not happy to get some of their own medicine?
rachel ,   usa   (12.22.10)
They attack jews all the time and I don't see them complain.
9. "Young Arab men"
Brad ,   USA   (12.22.10)
Welcome to the party pal. How do you like being treated like dirt? Boy, oh boy! You Arab Muslims can dish it out, but you sure can't take it. Run home to mama, and hide behind her skirt. Again.
10. The "gang".
Brad ,   USA   (12.22.10)
They're hero's. They are fighting back, and it's obviously working because of all the Arab squeeling. You see, there's a reason why zebra, and antelope don't go around attacking lions.
11. What kind of headline is this? Did Lieberman attack them?
Tzachi   (12.22.10)
What a slanderous connection of FM to attacks he had nothing to do with.
12. #4 you're an idiot
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (12.22.10)
Really - was someone kidnapped, beaten, burned with cigarettes, stripped nude and then murdered? Not hardly. Tensions are high between the two communities, understandably so. Don't make it more than what it is.
13. kol hakavod
Jack ,   unknown   (12.22.10)
hopefully more people will emulate what these guys have been doing, israel needs more people willing to attack the arabsjavascript:%20save()
14. I dont understand
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (12.22.10)
what is the problem here, if the arabs dont like it why dont they go live in one of the 22 arab countries in the area where they will be treated much better?
15. hmmmm perhaps?
pini   (12.22.10)
Perhaps this is the result of 62 years of Arab violence and terrorism towards jews? Hmm i guess were just sick of it, how long are we supposed to eat shit and enjoy it?
16. I only the police were so good at stopping hamass rockets.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.22.10)
17. I can only hope
Ron ,   OC, US   (12.22.10)
That Israeli cops are as good at catching Arab murders and illegals as they are these misguided teens.
18. Arab boys of Jerusalem-
Ariel ,   Europe   (12.22.10)
Dont, DON'T follow pretty Jewish girls into dark alleys...It can be dangerous..
19. #2 Its also YNET that craftily titles it.
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (12.22.10)
You cant really tell that there is no connection between the boys and Lieberman till you're finished reading the article. Why dont you get a really job.,
20. It is obviously racism ...
Takan ,   Elat   (12.22.10)
..But after so many wars and hatred, it does feel like self-defense racism. Jews have been hated, threatened of being wiped out or kicked off into the sea for so many years. Of course Israel has youths with high adrenaline and negative feelings about Arabs (more precisely Muslims). Were the Jets racists for attacking Puerto Rican sharks in West side story? Or were they just youths filled with extra testosterone doing what kids do? See the bigger picture here and try to understand where the hate of Arabs comes from. This is not cheap and baseless hate like Nazis or KKK. This is a self defense reaction to a tough realty of constant threat on your own very existence. It is still racism and should be controlled by the authorities but if the east Jerusalem wants this problem solved, they are preaching to the wrong choir. They should plead their Arab brothers in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Turkey and all other Arab countries to stop this crazy fight. Jews have but a small country in the Middle of a vast Muslim Middle East and Islam is overflowing nowadays all over the world. Give it up and just stop the fight. Then, almost magically, all this hate will vanish and peace will be achieved.
21. Liverman boys?
Not clear ,   Il   (12.22.10)
headed by a 14-year-old boy, !!! this is ridiculous! those are children :& the arab said so- I dont think Liver man - and believe me I dont like him would employ children as thugs- that would be a very typical behaviour on the arab side-
22. Only sexual predators were attacked
Ilan ,   Ariel   (12.22.10)
The police should have done a similar sting to remove these sexual predators going after underage girls off the streets.
23. where did that come from
To avi 7 ,   Il   (12.22.10)
the worst enemy for the Jewish people and nation are creatures like you- you are and will never be wanted neither with the jewish nor with the arabs- if you were thinking that you can ingratiate yourself with the enemy- you are absulutely lost and a mere waste. What does Eli Yshai have to do with the whole thing! You think all behaviours are like yours! You projected yourself and yours- No way Eli will use a girl to entice an arab!
24.  Why do Arabs dont live on one of the 22 arab countries
Matty ,   IL   (12.22.10)
Well as you can see, they dont want them! And they will push them from here to there- otherwise- it's against their policy of expanding and trying to rule the world- see - they already are spread all over the world infestating, and contaminating it with their violence- and hatred- they are the ones blessed through the sword! and governments fall due to heavy financial interests- well Matty- that's written to- at the end everything will b allright- their power is temporary- and not real
25. why hiding? those gangs are the best to kill Christian
observer   (12.22.10)
missionary woman, the other day. Amir's mother says he is not guilty. Killing gentile is not murder!
26. @ Rachel
Hakim ,   Palestine   (12.22.10)
We Palestinians are not what you have labeled us to be. We are people who have been told it is either fight or die. And like the Israelis of 1948, we prefer to fight and not die so understand that what goes up comes down...
27. Jerusalem is ours.
Salma ,   Palestine   (12.22.10)
Liberman and his boys will be kicked out of Jerusalem , Whatever you do we would not let you to Judaiz Jerusalem , keep it up!
28. #27, Not in your dreams
Eran ,   Singapore   (12.22.10)
29. The police don't respond to Jewish complaints either.
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.22.10)
probably because they don't get paid enough.
30. To Salma- does you husband ever let out of the basement?
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (12.22.10)
