1. stone throwers should be shot
golan ,   modiin   (03.07.11)
being on the receiving end I can tell you its attempted murder.
2. The good old days
USA ,   American   (03.07.11)
Back in the good old days, the way it was done was that if someone threw rocks, the soldiers would just shoot the hot water tank make a hole and bam now their parents will give them hell for throwing rocks, but of course its "in-human" for people not to have hot water....well its also in human to try to kill someone via stoning....lets return to the good old days to shooting the water heaters on the roofs of the stone throwers their families will get pissed off that they cannot take hot showers and will punish their kids instead of having the army be forced to shoot them
3. Settlers
Mike ,   UK   (03.07.11)
These so-called settlers are out of control. They are rascist, provocative and causes Israel immense harm. The perception of Israel in the world today - its in the same category as Iran, N.Korea and Pakistan. This Israeli Government just doesn't get it.
4. #1: Yes! Only way Jews and Arabs learn!
Andrew ,   Jerusalem   (03.07.11)
Throwing stones at an injured person is particularly cowardly: those Jews should be shot through the head. The Jews and Arabs who threw stones at each other should just be shot in the leg! It is the only language they know! We should arm the Arabs with machine guns to even up the odds and so that the IDF, settlers and Arabs can wipe each other out. They are as bad as each other!
5. settlers should be shot
johnny ,   stockholm. sweden   (03.07.11)
Iran is currentlythe most hated state in the world, in a few years time the settlers will make sure Israel is no 1, where it deserves to be.
6. To Johnny, Sweden "settlers should be shot"
Michale ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
What will be your response if your son / daughther live there? I think it will be different. How about clashes in your country between Arabs and Sweden? Do you think Arabs have right there to stone your Sweden citizen? This land is our land, and it does not matter what you or UN think, it was giving us by our G-d, and it will be ours again soon. Arabs Nations have enough land their own to help their brothers to settle down there.
7. To Andrew, " #1: Yes! Only way Jews and Arabs learn! "
Michale ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
Are you religious or not? I think, not because of your answer.
8. To Mike, "Settlers"
Michale ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
If Israel Government was smart enough and ignore the "World's perception of Israel today" then Israel will be in better shape than now. Remember history when King David and King Solomon were rulers of Israel. What was the World's perception of Israel in that time? Israel has to think only about of "perception" of G-d.
9. Truth lies here..
Ele ,   London, UK   (03.08.11)
"Some security officials claimed the activity of Israeli leftists and anarchists in the area led to some of Monday's violence" They are stirring it up.
10. To Ele, UK "Truth lies here.. "
Michale ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
How do you know? Have you been there at this time? Better, if you check your government if they tell the truth, and only the truth at least once.
11. All in a days work for the settler thugs
Avi ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
12. Mistaken beliefs
Robert ,   Brisbane Australia   (03.08.11)
The belief that ANY part of the world has been granted by a god to a particular group of individuals is farcical. If this belief had any basis in fact a mythical, all powerful "god" would surely liquidate all non-Jews from the area. Palestinians could very well claim that their "god" granted the same thing regardless of any interpretation of some outmoded cave drawings.
13. An open invitation to anyone that
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.08.11)
advocates a Jew defending his homeland should be shot Get off your tuchas, come on over and try it These aren't the lousy old days when a Jew couldn't defend himself As Pres. Obama had said “If you come to the fight with a knife, I’ll bring a gun”
14. #5 If stone throwers would be shot
(03.08.11)
1/2 of the Arab population in Israel and Leftists would be gone! Great idea. Let's start with the Arabs who throw stones daily.
15. WHY THE WORLD DOES NOT UNDERSTAND US?
Ricardo Macher ,   Karnei Shomron IL   (03.08.11)
All we want is to live in peace. It is to build our houses and grow crops. We don't want violence. We don't want confrontation. Just a simple and religious life. The Palestinians have to go and live their lands for us. The land is ours and we will never relinquish this. Never.

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.08.11)
You should be ashamed of yourself !! First get your own house in order, before you lecture others Look what I found about the “Apartheid” that’s going on under your nose, where’s your concern, you must have known about it ! UN Anti-Racism Committee Slams Apartheid Australia Racism By Dr Gideon Polya 29 August, 2010 Australia 's explicitly racist policies against Indigenous Australians and refugees have been slammed by a recent Report from the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneva http://www.countercurrents.org/polya290810.htm Robert, you stole their homeland, their future and their children

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (03.08.11)
Although I've posed the following questions quite a number of times, I have yet to have a single response from any so-called Palestinian Maybe you can show me what the so-called "Palestinian's" are basing their claim on, they haven't be able to Have a go at it, come up with just a two or three answers in their behalf When was the country of Palestine founded and by whom? Where did the Palestinian people originate from? What were Palestine's borders? Who were its neighbors? What language did the Palestinians speak? What writing did they use? What manuscripts or records did they leave whether written or engraved? What was their religion? Where are their temples? What monuments attest to their existence? What was the name of their capital? Name its other major cities. What was their currency called? Are there any coins that attest to their economy? What was Palestine's form of government? Name its kings or rulers. What are their achievements?
18. To #15
Mark ,   Charlottesville   (03.08.11)
I think the world starts to understand you. You say you want to live in peace, but yet you want to throw out Palestinians from their homeland. The world starts to understand your goals - and think it is racism, pure and simple. There is no place for this among democratic nations. The world does not approve of this so Israel is becoming more and more isolated
19. If You Throw A Rock/Stone
Brazen   (03.08.11)
be prepared to be RECKONED with one way is to throw stones back or Shoot them and not with rubber buttets !!!
20. #18 To Mark, Charlottesville
Michale ,   Israel   (03.08.11)
Palestinians homeland is located in Syria, Jordan, Egypt. Many years Jordan government had a policy to relocate some people around, for example, they moved Arabs where Jews lived, moving Jews to other places. This was policy for all occupiers of all times. So called Palestinians people do not exist as a nation because they are Syrians or Jordanians or Egyptians or other Arab nations. United Kingdom, the occupier of Israel and Jordan land, declared both lands as “Palestine”.
21. to Robert,Brisbane-12
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (03.12.11)
I am amazed at your ignorance -you have zero knowledge about G-d what so ever.How embarresing to read that you are from Australia.
22. "Palistine homeland", Palistinans - Biggest hoax going
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.12.11)
The arabs don't tolerate anyone different than them..... look at the different Arabs killing each other in Lybia, look at Yemen, Egypt. They don't even like their own Arab brethren that are different than themselves, how much more hatred when it comes to Jews.
23. Concept of an Arab "Palestine" serves a sinister purpose
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.12.11)
These " Pal-Arabs" are Arabs, like their brethren in Syria, Arabia and many other Arab countries etc, The Arab leaders don't want a democratic Jewish state like Israel. They want another tyrranical fictional Arab state to be created, called "Palestine".
24. #3..mike -You just described London -out of control
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (03.12.11)
England - Is Out of control , muslim riots in the streets, soccor riots, aparthied agaist occupied Ireland, etc. #3..mike -- Riots , violence, turmoil, BAD reputation - yes that's England you just described,
25. #15
wolf ,   Delhi, India   (03.13.11)
No one will understand you as long as you steal other people's land with the objective of living in peace. Bullshit
