1. Puzzled...very puzzled by this behavior!
puzzled ,   usa   (05.14.11)
They already live there in Jaffa but claim they have a "right of return?" I don't get it. What is all this about "racism?" They are truly full of BS. And, why on Earth do Arabs living in Israel carry around the flag of another country --(well, almost country?) If they want to be Palestinian then they should move the hell out of Israel. Jerks!
2. Let these traitors pull this crap in Syria!
Cynic ,   USA   (05.14.11)
3. the zoabis
Moshon   (05.14.11)
they never adjusted to israeli society. While taking benefits, they spit at israeli society knowing full well jews have no rights to protest in syria and egypt. liberman's oath is a good idea. All israelis who fail to take an oath or conduct activities harmful to the state should be tried, have their citizenship removed and booted the hell out of israel. The disloyal arabs living in israel should start packing.
4. the difference between the protests in the arab world and in
(05.14.11)
israel is that the people in these protests are one against the government, they are the majority. in Israel, even if all the arabs are against the state (which they aren't), it's still a mere 20% of the population. you know what they call when a minority group wants to bring down the government? I'll let you think about that for a while.
5. When the state is biased against non-Jews...
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (05.14.11)
this is what you get. If you enact Nakba-law to try and suppress the commemoration of a very traumatic event for the Palestinians this is what you get. On the other hand, if you make Palestinians in Israel feel as if they are true fellow citizens, then things could change for the better. Israel has no option than to become a state of all its citizens in the future. Otherwise its longterm survival will forever be in jeopardy. It means that Israel will need to dezionise.
6. Arabs from all over Israel can go to Tel Aviv
Mikey   (05.14.11)
With the flags of an enemy and call for the destruction of Israel, but Israeli Jews aren't allowed to protest with Israeli flags in Arab cities inside of Israel because "it provokes the Arabs". Fact is Israeli Arabs will throw Molotov cocktails and rocks if Israeli Jews dared to do the same. Time to end this party.
7. GO HOME FOOLS
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.14.11)
Stop your blatant display of hate towards Israel, and go home, before more get hurt. To Quote this article HERE: "'Just as is happening in Arab world, " Yes, and what's happening? Is in Libya and Syria you guys are being slaughtered by the thousand, to put down the riots. Since the world has shown they will do essentially nothing, they will do the same with Israel, or look like laughable hypocrites. Which they have for the last twenty or so years anyways! You want to die, fine. The more you protest the more you lose the right to be considered for a new Arab entity. Thanks, you make the case for Israel. Sorry, no new state for you hate filled animals. this is CASE CLOSED.
8. #4 mmmm wait wait maybe...coup d'etat? JACKPOT!!!! ahhahaha
Ester   (05.14.11)
by the way these people are pathetics, we just need to throw their asses out of our country
9. How stupid can you get......
mindRider ,   The Free World   (05.14.11)
...in demonstrating your desire to return to a state of poor, primitive lawlessness and either religious or secular dictatorship 90% of your fellow Muslims live in. Instead they should thank Allah daily that they have the privilege of living in Israel as free citizens.
10. Arab Right of Return
emanon ,   USA   (05.14.11)
Yes, please, exercise your right of return. Return to Jordan, Syria, Lebanon . . . Oh wait . . . those countries won't have you and none of the other arab countries want you either. Know why? Because if you return to those countries, they lose the PR pawns you've become. You have no right of return to Israel because, guess what, you never came from there! Israel was always the Jewish Homeland, regardless of what it was called: Eretz Yisrael, historic Israel, British Palestine or modern Israel.
11. #1 puzzled
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.14.11)
No need to be puzzled: When the people of Jaffa use the term the "right of return" they don't use it in the narrow sense, but they mean two things: 1. The right of return of millions of Palestinians abroad. 2. The "return" to days where Jaffa and the rest of Palestine belonged to their rightful owners.
12. and next friday they will come to collect they wellfare
am israel chai   (05.14.11)
money from the country and gov. they hate so much. that is how things work here. no wonder we're all demoralized by their lies and demands...
13. Dear world...
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (05.14.11)
14. #5 from englarabia
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (05.14.11)
Make sure to learn about the sharia law coming soon to englarabia. Englarabia needs a calphate to accomodate your own citizen rights if not you may be sufereing from more bombing. It time to overthrow the royals
15. to #5
Roey   (05.14.11)
I guess Israel is the only country in the world where there is discrimination against a minority, right? It's unfortunate that there are some levels of discrimination and some politicians who are openly hostile to the Israeli Arabs but don't for a second think that these Israeli Arabs would rather live in another country in the Middle East or want an Arab government to replace the current one. It's nice to see them exercising their right t protest while enjoying health care, job opportunities, access to education, pensions, etc. Israel has enough internal social problems to deal with and eventually they will address them all, including the Israeli Arabs but why should Israelis trust people who wear the symbols of those sworn to kill them?
16. #11 Salma - One Word: Mizrahim
Dallas ,   Canada   (05.14.11)
One thing that the "palestinians" always forget are the even greater numbers of Jews expelled from surrounding countries and absorbed into Israel. Also even refugee MUSLIMS from Sudan! You want it both ways. Get real. Life doesn't work that way. Stop your double standard. Your bias shows your ignorance.
17. Radicalization will only earn them PA citizenship
M. Bishari   (05.14.11)
18. to Salma #11 The land is in the hands of the rightfull
Levi ,   Israel   (05.14.11)
The land is in the hands of the rightfull owners the jews Don't like it go back to Syria - lebonon.. And dont let the door hit you in the arse on your way out.
19. and that mean i should shut up when iam bieng persecuted and
dafer ,   haifa   (05.14.11)
discriminated against ???? they have every rite to demonstrate and anyone who says other wise is truly brain washed or a zionist !!!
20. Check in again a week from now, and it'll all be forgotten.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (05.14.11)
21. Is this the biggest oxymoron in history?
canada ,   canada   (05.14.11)
They stand in Israel with Israeli passports screaming to be allowed to live in Israel??? Needs to be mandatory IQ tests for protestors over there.
22. Oh, put it back in your pants!!
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (05.14.11)
A thousand people out of 50,000 Yafo residents. A thousand people out of more than a million Arab Israelis. And you call this news???
23. Nakba Day in Jaffa
Daniel Shears ,   Fort Lauderdale USA   (05.14.11)
Heard there was a boat departing to Istanbul and no visas needed. When will israel wake up and escort all these people on a boat out of the country since they hate our country so much! And no I am not a racist or a bigot, but it is either US or THEM in this struggle.. And I prefer us.
24. They smell weakness in Bibi
BJL ,   usa   (05.14.11)
And they...like the rest of the PA know they have Israel on the ropes. Israel has engaged in unilateral disengagement in gaza and Samaria...destroy Jewish "outposts"...destroy Jewish homes...beat Jewish teenagers with clubs...etc. If you are the enemy of Israel (22 Araba states) You see this for what it is...Dhimmitude. And you sense your enemy is just where you want them. Demoralized and attacking their own. Israel had better get some tough leadership and fast or they will soon wake up to another arab terror state WITHIIN Israel.
25. The Arab enemies in Israel were created by the Jewish
Frank ,   USA   (05.14.11)
leftists. That is what the Jewish left wants. The Arabs will never destroy Israel but the Jewish left can.
26. Blame the Beilinists. It is the Beilinists who bring the
Ann ,   USA   (05.14.11)
problems on Israel. They (Arab traitors of Israel) is part of parcel of the Jewish extreme liberalism.
27. Yeah, give them the medical care, give them jobs
Dan ,   USA   (05.14.11)
give them the top-rated educational opportunities, give them the Scandinavian-type social services, give them money, give them freedoms so that they continue to hate you, play backgammon, socialize, procreate. and hate Israel. The Jews work for them and created what they have but they still want to destroy the Jewish sovereignty.. A leopard will never change its spots. It only does in the fantasies of some crazy Jews who insist on "let's love everybody" concept. With that concept you will only get: the enemies from within. The more you give them, the more they will hate you.
28. No Batuach Leumi for protesters!!!
Lioness ,   Israel   (05.14.11)
29. to # 5, Ben Alofs
david ,   Herzlia,Israel   (05.14.11)
I suggest a solution , let all the Israeli arabs vote and decide if they want to be citiziens of Israel with all the benefits they have here or elect to be citizens of Palestine where they can march and show their flag as much as they want , 18% will vote to remain Israeli citizens.
30. read ben dror yaminie's article about the nakba!
