Can Al Aksa get the same treatment then? They urinate and defecate on our holy sites, this piece deal is bullhockey. Maybe Jews should set their sites alight as well?

when they could have prayed under a coordinated visit,but chose not to,NOW the illogical settler maniacs,living in cloud cuckoo land ,are determined to endanger more lives of Arabs and Jews by their selfish stupid 'price tag'policy.And still they are not forcibly rteined in or punished by Israel.If we do not control them,the Pals will and then MORE people will suffer on both sides.Will not our government wake up and do something 'unpopular' with our lunatic extremist fringes before the point of no return?>

But I understand how others can.

Patriotic israelis, there is no need to threaten. Do what you have to do , understand what I mean. Be guided by never again shall a jew die in vain. All non jews should understand that if they kill and injure jews, then that has to come back to them and maybe more. The ethos of chosen, moral army, light unto nations is too high a burden and is like a goldstone around israel's neck. Think of hitler when you respond to this latest outrage. Oh yes, I am n ot bothered at night, wrestling what should I do,t he struggle between good and evil. They do unto you, you do unto them. And the arabs with their war-like culture will respect you more if you react in a macho way. ' Some in the jewish academia have guilt about modern day israel sitting on dispossessed arabs, conveniently forgetting israel's long history.I don't. it is clear according to ettinger, that they who don't even know it, are the foreign interlopers sitting on jewish lands. And all of them should be kicked out and shipped to jordan just east of the strip of jordan(manessa) belonging to israel. And if israel would do what avinery suggests, dzimmi in palestine, the arabs would still kill you because their religion commands it. This is what sternhall, oz, burg, grossman and their followers do not want to understand.

Who ever heard of a divorced couple that hate each other trying to live in the same house living in peace with each other? Somebody has to move out!

The Palestians have consistently damaged and vandalized the tomb. 2nd the Army only allows 1 visit one time every two months which is ridiculous. Ehud barak and Brig. Gen. Nitzan Alon should be fired for this attack. Josephs tomb should be annexed to Israel as a religious site. The total lack of care or concern about Israel's religious sites including the temple mount is a real concern to the American and Israeli Jewish community.

Defending yourself against Islamist-Jihadist butchery of Jews is a universal right.

When violent criminals are set free, when 'peace' means ongoing violence and suffering, when uniformed police are justified for shooting to kill at citizens whose only crime is driving where they shouldn't be, I think it is an act of reason to revolt. To accept the situation as it is, is madness.

Why don't both sides choose 1000 of their most treacherous, sneaky wild men (or women), get a huge arena and let them battle it out like in the good old days. Just with live TV and streaming web coverage, 24x7 talk shows accompanying the running battle. Last man or woman standing? That side wins this tiring, repetitive, nonsensical battle. Couldn't work out any worse for you all then the last 125 years.

why don't you go back to Euroslam UK. You wanted so badly Muslims, and now you came to Israel.... just goback to live by Shariah law... that's what UK became.

These Israelis carried out an unauthorized infiltration, disobeyed orders to stop at a checkpoint, and then ignored police warning shots--how many Palestinians have been killed in this same manner by ISRAELI police and soldiers? The PA police were just carrying out protocol--maybe next time Israel shouldn't let their citizens infiltrate Palestinian areas.

the leftists wont do it !..do not retaliate--expel them first

Appealing to the godfathers of the murderers themselves to take action. It will be a cold day in hell before that ever happens and the cowardly PM knows that fact. So one must question the commitment the cowardly PM has towards the people who put him in charge and just who in fact he reports to, certainly not the Israeli people.

Yair Altman ! As a journalis you have no right to label religious Jews-:Rightists". You are in violation of the journalist's obligation of honest reporting, Yair ! And what is so wrong for religios Jews to visit their holy sites once a year ? The pali police did see well who is coming...Look at the photos.Did these orthodox kids look like IDF troops coming to attack ? As of you, exUK, you mind your own business...Coordinated visit? With whom?Do you have a clue who are we talking about here?The maniacs here are you and your protege palis..You can hide in a whole all you want...It never helped, nore brought peace...The blood of innocent Jews will continue to be spilled, until Israelis elect a government, who will put their people first and stop the daily shootings and bombings of our sovereign land. Shame on Israeli Government, that enables atrocities against their people pass without proper deterrence.

There is not a single statement by reliable and named sources on this report regarding Jewish intentions to take revenge. It's all hearsay. The only documented and verifiable acts are the shooting of several Jews who dared to pray at Joseph's Tomb and the subsequent desecration of the holy site - both perpetrated by Arabs. An Arab child was allegedly hurt. Who was he or she? By whom? By an Arab rock? By Jews? How seriously? Where is the proof? Ynet, you have a huge responsibility on your shoulders. Your reports get posted internationally. Your interpretation and quoting of Arab allegations get reproduced all over the web as coming from a reputable Jewish media source. Please make sure that any allegations are corroborated by Israeli police, government officials, or some other reliable source at the very least. That's the basis of good journalism. Don't let yourself be used by Arab propaganda to spread lies. No more anonymous sources and unfounded allegations, please. Lives are at stake.

Arab Terrorists = Jewish Terrorists

Might as well take matters into their own hands..the IDF and the gov't don't. As for the poor, injured arab child in the photo, what's to say his father or one of those "lovely" arab mothers didn't do that to him? And if not, he ought to thank his allah that he's at least alive..the children in Itamar weren't so fortunate at the hands of the peaceful ones!

If the the IDF took action no price tag retaliation would take place. But the country has a D.M. who's more concerned about his relationships in Washington than the security of the israeli people.

Based on the information we've been given, you're right. But it's never right to blame the victim and going to pray doesn't justify being shot even if he crossed a border to do it. Seems like a lose- lose game from here on in.

I could answer your question of who the PM answers to. But so could millions of Jews if they cared to be honest.

The rockets will continue to rain on Israel until they elect a prime minister who has the will and the courage to drive the Palestinians and Hamas out of Gaza and the West Bank. When George Bush gives back his Crawford,Texas ranch to the Native Americans is when peace will come to Israel. To the victor goes the spoils. Americans killed thousands of Indians during the conquest of the United States. The Indians that survived were placed in concentration camps euphemistically described as reservations where alcoholism and unemployment reigns. Since the Bureau of Indians Affairs has granted gambling casino licenses, some Indian tribes have prospered. Maybe gambling casinos are the solution for the Palestinians.

... Bibi & Barak. There, I've said it.

The world watches as Jews sit there and get slaughtered, blown up, shot, stoned with rocks, beaten - and yet the Jews do nothing about it at all. The world wonders why the Jews sit there like sheep and do nothing even when their children are murdered. Well, occasionally the Jews do something about it, they give their land to those who want to see them all dead. What is wrong with the Jews??

since Oslo, so TAKE CONTROL!!! The arabs try to steal of the Jewish land continuously, the area of the Thomb of Joseph belonged to area C after Oslo, The governments of Israel cared more for the arabs than for religious/nationalist Jews sorry to say.

In Netanyahu's defense he's just spewing words to mollify the religious idiots who vote for him. He knows the people who were shot took it upon themselves to travel to Joseph's tomb with coordinating their visit with the IDF and PA security personnel . He probably isn't surprised that they ran a checkpoint and ignored warning shots as Hasids will always do what they want. He probably then concluded that he would want the IDF to react the same way as the PA police. If Netanyahu was truly brave he would tell the Hasids to stop behaving like spoiled insubordinate brats. That if the IDF can't accomodate them for every time they wish to visit Joseph's tomb they will have to wait or if they choose to visit without the IDF they better be prepared to respect the authority of the PA police maintaining order in the area they are visiting.

I look at it this way (and I start to feel better), The bib's and baraks and all their hanger-ons, like you and I have a G-d. But their is a massive defference and who believes in HIM! He is not far away and when He does appear I can only hope I will still be around and watch them and their ilk disappear. Who knows, downstairs there might be virgins for them. I await with bated breath.
