Treat these protestors with an iron fist. Let them know that it's not worth their while to protest.
7. they always do this b/c they have nothing else to lose
Countess Mara   (05.13.11)
in their stupid minds, no work, no money, no brains, over populated and frustrated, brainwashed from drinking the kool-aide, this is all they have left to hold onto in life before they die. They have tried this before and failed and so this too will fail. but let us hope that not too many innocents have to go down with those who do this junk.
8. brainwashed over hyped retards have nothing else to do
Countess Mara   (05.13.11)
thye do not want to improve their lot in life but non violence and lerning that how they think about life needs to be changed. if you always do waht you did you will always get what you got. this applies towards everything in life. so long they they continue to drink their own taineted kool-aid and have hatred in thier hearts/minds they will never change their lot in life. i wish a big space ship would come down and take all these people away to mars.

(05.13.11)
Yes you moron, that is why before one Jew lived their you were delivering flowers to the other side of town...
10. #4...Correction
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.13.11)
The Arabs were defeated but the Jews never kicked then out of israel. They left at the request of the other Arab nations who promised them that hey could return after israel was defeated. Those who stayed are today far better off the arabs living in the arab nations that waged war on Israel.
11. STAGED PALLYWOOD
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.13.11)
Here we go again with staged riots. If you remember with the other intifada, what the Arabs did was pretty simple. They would decide on a riot site, get the word out. Then the night before, people would begin to preposition piles of rocks at different locations, in and around where they wanted to stage the riot. Then at whatever the predetermined time was, the crowds showed up and began to throw rocks. Typically they knew what routes the Police or IDF cars drove so they could pelt the police cars and start the riots. Then, of course they sent out the young children on the front lines, the adults usually hiding half a block or so behind the kids. They (the adults) would escalate the riots, with handguns, Molotov cocktails etc., of course hoping the kids would be hit in the crossfire. Cynically it's win/win for the Arabs. If the Police or the IDF hit a kid, BINGO, Pallywood moment. If they shoot their own kids (Has happened numerous times), hey just blame Israel anyways! Sweet! The Arabs just teach Hate that's what they do. With Schoolbooks, TV programing, Radio Broadcasts, Sermons at the Mosque. Even a National Holiday "Nakba Day" to whine about the legal creation of another country. Heck how much proof do you need, this "Holiday" is what? It's called INCITEMENT, and it's a violation of the Oslo Accords, Resolution 242, and Declaration of Principles. But as we all know Arabs can CHERRY PICK what laws they will follow. But Israel is expected to follow all the Laws.
12. to#5 abdalla
Marcelo ,   Berlin / DE   (05.13.11)
Exatly. You "exist" only to destroy but not to create, to complain but not to propose, to kill but not to live...if you would get a "pal" state, you will sease to exist. Maybe you should get a "state" so you all will sease to exist and all the world will be free from lunatics. No more checks at airports, no more olympia killing, no more terror...happy "nakba" hahahahaha

14. Rioting
Richard ,   united states   (05.13.11)
What has happen to Isarel ? In the 1970 we didn't stand for all this B S by any arab. We were not feard but respected we did what had to be done to bring peace back to the Israel. You say what does he know / well i was a Sargent Major in the IDf Today our leaders run with there tail between there legs. ( Iam to old to do anything with the IDF, I am over the HILL as you would say ) It is time to stand on our own to feet and say to the united states enough is enough and fight to save Israel. Anti semitism is coming back stronger then ever. we have to depend on our selves and not other. BIBI remember your brother. He's a Hero. How can you let our county die right in front of our eyes. We have the unmentional if where going down let go down as Great Men and Women an not children. GOD BLESS ISRAEL and may we wake up before it's to late.
15. The foreigners and Israeli traitors deserve
jason white ,   afula, israel   (05.13.11)
to be punished with more than a prison sentence.These riots have to stop and the use of extreme force is what will stop them. We need to have a government that will not only protect us, but make sure the enemy is destroyed.
16. EAST JERUSALEM??? HEY BAMABINO - IT'S JERUSALEM!
stude ham   (05.13.11)
AND TO HADES WITH THEIR ARAB DEMANDS FOR ANY PART OF OUR HOLIEST OF CITIES. we reunited our lands in 1967 and we are not about to give it back to these arab mobs just because they call themselves palestinians. BUILD ISRAEL BUILD!
17. Kahane had the right idea.
USA   (05.13.11)
throw them out with force or they'll gutt you. It's not about hate but simple self preservation.

19. #5 Adbalah : Learning is existence !
Yossef   (05.13.11)
go to school instead of wasting your time.
20. Use Syrian crowd control
Daniel ,   Boulder   (05.13.11)
Israel should let the world know that it will now be using the EU and USA approved Syrian Method to quell unruly mobs--it seems to be something the "street" truly understands--as does Obama.
21. Hey Falestinians: What Happened to the Peaceful Protests!?
EZ ,   US   (05.13.11)
You blew it...AGAIN! You promised organized, peaceful protests as if it were Ghandis civil disobedience but once again you PROVED to the world you can't even do THAT! And you expect to be able to run a country next to Israel? NO WAY! The Falestinians are an overly emotional, uneducated brood raised with hate and a searing desire for violence. As far as these leftists are concerned, please release photos of them so they can be put online and forever branded as what they are: SUPPORTERS OF TERROR, MURDER and THE BIG LIE. Enough already: even abbas said he couldn't "stop" these evil monsters if they riot and start a 3rd intifada. Crush Falestine once and for all: the Big Lie has gone on long enough! Stand up Israelis! At every turn if you see these lunatics: PUSH BACK!
22. "It's all because the Jews came to Silwan"
William ,   Israel   (05.13.11)
Yes, how dare they upset your racist enclave that is FOR ARABS ONLY. How dare those Jews return to homes which Arabs admit were stolen from them after ethnically cleansing Jews from Silwan and many other neighborhoods in the area. It's that same status quo that Gaddafi and Assad are fighting for and killing thousands, which you are rioting for.
23. #5 - that basically explains why Arabs haven't progressed
William ,   Israel   (05.13.11)
If resistance (e.g. racism, violence, terrorism, apartheid) is existence in the Arab world, then no wonder your ilk haven't progressed while the rest of the world has. Because we've all used knowledge and human rights as markers of our existence, and the positive results are plentiful. Part of that positive result is the "Palestinian" Arabs having the highest literary rates and longest life expectancy rates in the entire Arab world, after several Gulf nations.
24. Leftist participation?
D ,   Jerusalem,   (05.13.11)
Are you kidding? I thought that kind of thinking was over and with!!! NEVER GO AGAINST THE FAMILY!!!
25. Hopeless in silwan
Harvey ,   London   (05.13.11)
Where are their universities , their phds their Nobel laureates Where are their hi Tec businesses , their silicon valleys , their production line start up capital ventures It's just not there . Better sitting around smoking sheesha all day and playing cards moaning "we wuz robbed " by the pesky joos Better to destroy another state rather then build your own . Better to rely on eu hand outs and stealing Israeli cars rather then self respect The only people still tagging the refugee card 63 years on and following rejection of the un partition plan Israel absorbed 800,000 Jews expelled from Arab lands That is the difference between two sets of people
26. Hope the World Isn't Fooled by These Lunatics.
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (05.13.11)
I hope the world is watching, and that the Palestinians blow their opportunity for statehood. Instead of using their ingenuity? to ensure peace loving Palestinians a respite from war and blood shed, The Arabs go off the deep end again, rioting, throwing rocks, intentionally injuring others. How can anyone live peaceably in the region with such violence? Israel has been attacked by the Arabs many times. The Arabs lost much territory that never belonged to them in the first place. It appears that under present Leadership, the Palestinians have been pressured into a third Intifada. How stupid. Can't these folks think of other more peaceful ways to get their State? Nakba, Shamakba. No State for the Palestinians until they recognize Israel and negotiate face to face with the Israeli government. One can not live amicably with those who fail to recognize the existence of Israel and threaten to destroy it.
27. Fridays prayers
(05.13.11)
Look how they pray,smelling each other $$$$$
28. Opportunity to contrast Israeli and Arab crowd control proto
Stephen in New York   (05.14.11)
Opportunity to contrast Israeli and Arab crowd control protocols. You won’t see Israeli snipers firing randomly at civilians from rooftops as in Libya and Syria. Nor will you see the wounded left to die in the street. Still the left loves the jihad.
29. This 'nakba day' isn't of daily prayers.
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.14.11)
It upsets David and his son.
30. I support Israel.
Gabrielle ,   Tennessee USA   (05.14.11)
It is so sad for me to see all these riots going on in Israel because of a joyous celebration, celebrating Israel's independence. I am an AMERICAN and I SUPPORT Israel 110% and I think all these riots are disgusting and Israel is the most established country in the Middle East!
