1. Arabs need a new structure
Rachel ,   US   (04.23.11)
How can anyone think this is ok or it's their cause?
2. Whatever
Jon ,   France   (04.23.11)
keeps the drones and warplanes in the air... After all corroborating all the stories is just an inconvenience when your goals are clear!
3. #2 - What are the goals?
michael redbourn ,   arad, israel   (04.23.11)
Nobody else seems to know what the "goals" are, so please enlighten us.
4. The other israel newspaper must change the name, for " Gazaa
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (04.23.11)
The other israel newspaper must change the name, for " Gazaaretz"
5. #1 Rachel, US
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A   (04.23.11)
"Arabs need a new structure" Don't misunderstand me Rachel, for I am the last man on Earth to defend Arabs, but what about Jews? Don't you agree with me that your Rabbis need a new structure too? I have lost count as to how many articles I have read right here on Ynet about sexual misconduct by Rabbis. Same goes for priests. What I mean to say is that you cant comment on others when your very own house is not in order....
6. who cares
JL   (04.23.11)
7. Horrible
Shalom ,   Ashdod, Israel   (04.23.11)
Now where are those idiots who kept telling us in the past that Islam is a religion of peace. I wonder where is the Arab League when Arabs are raping each other.
8. maybe it is true
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (04.23.11)
Every few days, the pro-Obama press comes out with a conveniently-timed anti-Gaddafi horror story to justify further military intervention, a lot like the stories of Iraqi soldiers throwing babies out of incubators. Maybe these stories are true, and maybe they are false, and like the Iraqi incubator story, invented by the CIA. But let's remember, before the American-funded rebellion Libya was the most peaceful, prosperous and successful Arab country where these kind of things did not happen.
9. #7 Shalom
Mark Wilson ,   U.S.A   (04.23.11)
Where is the Arab League when Arabs are raping each other? Where was the Jewish defense league when a Rabbi sodomized a bride to be who sought his counsel and another Rabbi sexually assaulted a sleeping woman on a flight from Tel Aviv to New York?
10. #5, alas Mark, no one can say anything about anyone.
Mike ,   Atlanta USA   (04.23.11)
Let moral equivalence reign and may everyone, especially you, shut the hell up.
11. Spoils of war
Allah Hu Akbar ,   Mecca   (04.23.11)
All of our valiant fighters require rest & relaxtion from the rigours of fighting
12. And those rabbis are prosecuted
Rachel ,   US   (04.24.11)
And held accountable. When was the last time the IDF engaged in mass rape as a weapon? When did they gun down their own citizens like Assad? Or gas them like Saddam?
13. #7 Make love, not war
Raphael ,   Netanya   (04.23.11)
Islam is definitely not a religion of peace and tolerance, but raping is a form of love, the most appreciated among Arabs.
14. #3 - the goals
Jon ,   France   (04.23.11)
To make an example of anyone who is independent and dares to contradict or "disobey" Obomber and the two domestically desperate Western leaders, Cameron and Sarkozy. The treatment of Libya, attacked because seen as isolated, is what others are dreaming of for Israel. The rebels in Libya, like the Hamas in Gaza, know exactly what strings to tug when it comes to moving Western minds.... and hands to pull the triggers and send in the bombs.
15. Send them goats...
Frank ,   Canada   (04.24.11)
... they will spare the kids.
16. Mark Wilson
Arnold ,   Montreal, Canada   (04.24.11)
What does this report have to do with Rabbis and Priests. The report is that of raping and killing by Libyan forces.
17. Animal poster # 11- spoils of war ?
Arnold ,   Canada   (04.24.11)
I would have you in front of a firing squad with orders to shoot at your genitals and then let you bleed out. see if you like the spoils of war. Degenerate arab that you are.
18. to Israeli 8
Barney ,   USA   (04.24.11)
peaceful? like blowing up airplanes? like calling for the arab world to amass on the borders of Israel when several of the arab dictators were facing revolution? Ghadaffi is no my idea of a good guy. There was peace just like in Iraq because if you weren't peaceful you were dead.
19. #12 Rachel - On the contrary. "Lack of Rape is Racism"
Ahmad Cohen Ibn ,   Mousa HaLevy   (04.24.11)
You will recall that the Department of Sociology at the Hebrew University sponsored, approved, and even gave a grand honors prize to the MA student who wrote her thesis about how the absence of rape of Arab women by Israeli soldiers proves that the Jews are vile racists. Her thesis advisor for that was Prof. Eyal Ben-Ari. It is clear that Israelis do not share the honor and values of the her Arab neighbors. No wonder that the Arabs detest and hate Israel. Israel's official national policies, goals, and aspirations do not include rape, murder of innocent civilians, kidnap, "Honor Killings", FGM, and so forth. Israel protects holy sites and visitors as occurred with Christian visitors for Easter and Jewish visitors for Passover. Arabs/Moslems know how to deal with holy sites such as the 3000 year old Budha in Afghanistan and the Holy Mosque of Samarra. Until Israel achieves our high moral and ethical level, Israel will never be accepted by the Arab/Moslem world.
20. This is one more humanitarian war ...
Keren ,   IL-BR   (04.24.11)
...promoted by England,France and U.S These are very good nations,don´t you think?
21. rape in war-praise the IDF
allan ,   canada   (04.24.11)
unfortunately rape is very common during war. The IDF is to be praised that we never hear stories of their soldiers raping their enemies.
22. Plague on both sides
David M.   (04.24.11)
I am sure this will not be reported by BBC or in the American media, since both sides committed the crime. Americans love things black and white with nothing in between. It was stupid for the US to get involved when they have no idea who they are supporting. The whole situation is sickening.
23.  Nr 5.
Orao. ,   Srbia.   (04.24.11)
What I mean to say is that you cant comment on others when your very own house is not in order.... Mark Wilson , U.S.A (04.23.11) SO - THE WHITE HOUSE IS IN ORDER - ?. - HYPOCRIT !. Orao.Srbia.
24. #5, #7 Mark Wilson
solomon ,   bklyn   (04.24.11)
The sexual misconduct you speak of also happens, sorrowfully, throughout the world, including here in the US. As Rachel points out, people are prosecuted in Israel. As they are in the US. There is no comparison between these heinous crimes and what are called 'crimes against humanity'. Except when a Jew commits a crime, it is always called a 'crime against humanity', no matter what. No Mark, we do not misunderstand you. We understand you only too well.
25. that´s happening in rebel´s camps
ivan ,   haifa   (04.24.11)
and u support rebelS?
26. Sounds like war
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (04.24.11)
Thought Arabs had higher morality of behavior - LOL !
27. rapes and war crimes
baruch ,   israel   (04.24.11)
keep up the good responces rachel and its time for alll of the jews to come home. baruch,israel
28. #12 rachel
baruch ,   israel   (04.24.11)
so ahkmed, i dont understand ,the fact that Israeli soldiers dont rape arab women.this makes us racists? and you think we are corrupt and immoral. baruch,Israel
29. #19 Absolutely shocking.
Tahl   (04.24.11)
After reading your comment I was absolutely shocked, that the university I graduated from could be a part of such disgrace. If you hadn't mentioned Hebrew U, I would have surely guessed you were talking about Bir Zeit university, or UC Berkeley, or Cambridge, or whatever other antisemitic academic hotbeds there are out there. But Hebrew U? My Hebrew U?... I could hardly believe it, so I searched the net and to my dismay, found out this is indeed true... The only way to clean this disgusting stain is to kick out the professor who authorized this outrageous thesis, the head of the Sociology Department, and even the Social Sciences Dean, as I'm sure he was aware of this award, yet did nothing to stop it. In the spirit of Passover, it is high time to finally make a through, meticulous cleaning of our academic institutions, before the ultra-leftist decay consumes them entirely.
30. #29 Tahl - At Heb. Univ you must not have learned Arab Logic
Ahmad Cohen Ibn ,   Mousa HaLevy   (04.25.11)
as this thesis writer obviously did. Some of the driving principles of Arab Logic are: 1. If the facts contradict what I believe, the facts must be wrong. 2. Israel can and must be blamed for all of our failures. It is not possible that we are at fault for our actions and failures. 3. Israel, Jews, and Zionists must be blamed for everything that ever occurred back to Adam and Eve if not before. 4. We must twist the facts when Israel wins a war or any event to show that the Arabs/Moslems or anyone else actually won. Our history books clearly show that Japan won World War II and USA unconditionally surrendered to the Emporer of Japan since USA was envolved in saving Jews from Concentration Camps. I could go on but I hope that you get the point. Please continue your studies in Arab Logic and when you master that, we can discuss Arab Virtues, Morals, and Ethics. After you finish that once, we can move on to how to control women in the Arab/Moslem world. Now that is an enormous topic that I am sure you will find very enlightening.
