2. MK Ben Ari the well know thug
Avi ,   Israel   (03.30.11)
How strange when ever there are violent clashes with the lawless settlers the name of MK Ben Ari appers, who incase he has forgotten swared to uphold the law when he became a MK. The very same person who launces attacks on arab MKs, his hypocracy knows no limits.

6. Michael Ben Ari and Gaddafi
Michael ,   Haifa   (03.30.11)
If Yitzhak Aharonovitch were Gaddafi (as Ben Ari not too subtly implies by associating Aharonovitch with Gaddafi) Ben Ari would not be around to spout such wicked nonsense.
7. Minister Aharonovitch is a shame for Yisrael Beiteinu!
Abraham Nachmias ,   Petach Tikva IL   (03.30.11)
8. Just Imagine...

9. #2 why
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.30.11)
You allege that Ben Ari is a violent thug, but have no evidence and can't point out a single incident where he used violence against anyone. His "attacks" on arab MKs are all verbal, and no different than the "attacks" the arab MKs make on him. However, you do know as a fact that the police used against Jews, especially in Judea and Samaria, regularly break the law and lie. YSM officer Gilad Mizrachi violently beat citizen Aryeh Hershkopf and then stole his property because Mr. Hershkopf was filming the pride parade in Jerusalem. The police investigation unit refused to investigate. We won't even discuss Amona, but during the Havat Gilad incident the police originally denied they used rubber bullets, then said they fired only 5 bullets when they were in danger. Later investigation proved that the police fired hundreds of rubber bullets, all of them at the backs of fleeing citizens. The violence during the assault on Givat Ronen began when citizens asked the police to see identification and a copy of the court order they claimed they had. The YSM immediately launched a violent and brutal assault against the citizens. It is your right to hate Jews, but there is something wrong when you support illegal and violent behavior by the police.
10. Settler Trash - OUT OF PALESTINE NOW!

ARAB TRASH!!!! OUT OF ISRAEL NOW!!!
12. #2
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.30.11)
Further reports about the police assault on Givat Ronen are coming to light: The YSM police illegally did not wear name tags. The YSM police stole memory cards from telephones, apparently to hide their own criminal behavior. The YSM police illegally fired tear gas into buildings. Do you have the guts to comment? Or will you keep supporting criminal police brutality?
13. Stop Fighting Each Other
Jon   (03.30.11)
Stop fighting each other since the changes in the Middle East might result in new hostility against Israel. Stupid religious vs secular fights, in the end all Jews regardless of politics must unite to defend Israel again.

Sebastian ,   Israel   (03.30.11)
When Jews can stop hating each other and treat each other with a little respect, not a lot , a little, then perhaps we will be able to make peace with the Palestinians.Jews/Israeli's just don't know how to treat each other decently. Why is there so much assimilation? Israel has ceased to be a haven for Jews, its an industrialized, capitalistic country like any, except it has a huge security problem created by paranoid leaders that want us to believe that we are perpetually in danger. More people are killed on the roads each year. Forget Hamas and Islamic Jihad the terror is on the roads!
15. Israel Israeli you talk too much..just tell me
Donna   (03.30.11)
what do you think the Israeli police response would have been if those were Palestinians? What if Palestinians greeted police same way as those settelers?
16. #15 I am glad you asked
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (03.30.11)
What is the connection? If a similar thing happened to Arabs, and it was proven true, I would condemn it. Throwing tear gas into a building is almost always unjustified and illegal. But remember, the police would never dare steal cameras from Arabs and Leftists, which is a good thing. If that happened, tens of NGOs and the Attorney General would be all over the police. But if you insist, let's talk facts. The YSM stormed Havat Gilad in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep. No evidence has been given that there was any riot that required the use of violence. Despite initial police lies, It has been proven that the YSM shot hundreds of bullets from the FN303. Most (if not all) of the wounded were shot in the back. No YSM has been charged with anything despite lying and making intentional illegal use of weapons. In contrast, Ashraf Abu Rahma (an Arab) specially came to Na'alin to participate in a violent riot, where he hurled boulders at police with the intent of maiming or killing. Instead of being shot dead as would happen in the US, he was captured. While he was being held by an officer, a sergeant discharged a rubber bullet at the ground between his legs, causing no injury. Both the sergeant and the Battalion commander were booted from the army. Need I say more? You do not need to apologize.
