1. The real question is why these riots allowed to continue
William ,   Israel   (02.21.11)
This is the ultimate exercise in racism. These Arabs riot all the time, stoning a house only because the Jewish owners are living there, and then they complain at the outcome?? I feel very bad for this family and wish their child a quick recovery. However, its up to the adults of this village to deal with their teens who apparently are encouraged to be violent and racist. Qawasmeh claims the police should arrest these teens - but in the past when they did, ACRI, Leftists, and Arabs immediately cried foul. Until the Arabs take responsibility for their actions, they will (and should) reap the consequences.
2. There's an old saying
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (02.21.11)
"Don't defecate where you eat, don't eat where you defecate If you insist on rioting close to home, You will not like the results I'm rather surprised that the child wasn't dressed in a Jidhadi costume that was suitable for the occasion
3. Maybe They Shouldn't Riot every Week
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.21.11)
Is it possible, that if the Arabs didn't stage weekly or daily riots, that there would be no need to use tear gas? What if when protesting, they didn't turn it into riots with pre-positioned rocks and stones? That these deadly weapons were not used during the protests by the Arabs? Easy, there would be no need for tear gas to disperse a peaceful protest. But the Arabs always seek to escalate the protests to riots, with the use of deadly force. Then seem shocked by the response from the police. Go to the USA, Canada any country for that matter, and start a riot, begin to throw rocks at the police and see what they do? So save the Pallywood BS, that's all this is, another staged riot to elicit a response from Israel and twist it to elicit undeserved sympathy.
4. #1,2,3 You are low lives
Nina ,   NYC   (02.21.11)
Especially #2. So all American Jews are spies because we had a few. All American Jews are thieves because we had many? You don't want riots, stop stealing other people's land.
5. to #4 the real name ps silwan is shilom
ghostq   (02.21.11)
arabs can't pronounce shilom and shilom especiallt the tunle was carved by jewish king, the tablet for the area is in ancient hebrew and you can find it in Turkish museum, those r facts, the real theives r palis who doesn't even got history that last 400 years. and the riots, well that is what arabs do best, actually that is the only thing arabs do.
6. #4 An idiot that believes everything she reads
(02.21.11)
"stealing" lands, what a laugh. Grow up, moron.
7. #4; Nina, Get your facts straight
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (02.21.11)
First, what land specifically was stolen? But if you throw rocks at the police what would you expect to happen? If the Arabs didn't use human shields, that's is what they are doing they conduct riots on a residential street. They put the residents who don't to participate in danger when they escalate it with rock throwing. So all Israeli police are bad just because of one accident? How come your logic only goes one way? Grow up Nina, they're playing you, to elicit sympathy, using the baby so cynically, that is what should upset you.
