11 Talkbacks for this article
1. SHOOT THEM
nachama ,   Austin USA   (05.14.11)
When will Israel FIGHT BACK like warriors..This is embarrassing.
2. LIKE I PREDICTED
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (05.14.11)
I'll tell you there is nothing like PALLYWOOD. What did I say, children on the front lines, with the adults about a half block back, attempting to escalate the riot to violence, using firebombs and the occasional handgun. The Arabs were hoping to get a kid killed in th crossfire. I wrote that talkback yesterday, well, I hate to say I told you so, but there it is. What would happen here (in the USA) if hundreds of people gathered and began to throw rocks at the police and their cars. Then imagine several officers being injured by the rocks, maybe some needing10 or 20 stitches. What would be the police response, here in the USA? Do think being attacked by hundreds of people pelting you with rocks the size of golf balls, baseballs etc. pose a lethal risk? If not. why not? After all even in the Koran, certain offenses call for death by stoning. So they clearly think stoning can kill you, and painfully, right? Next question, do the police have a right to defend themselves? Isn't it entirely possible, that while doing that, some of the rock throwers might get killed, Yes, of course it is! Then why would any parent in his/her right mind let their kids go there. If their kid gets killed, whose fault is it? Do the parents bare any obligation to keep their children away from danger, to the best of their ability?
3. How can U make peace with an enemy who mourns your existence
Tomer   (05.14.11)
This is the reason why all these peace processes are nonsense.
4. Why not riot? The police won't do anything to stop them
uzitiger ,   Ramat Gan   (05.15.11)
5. Only Arab leaders like Ghazafi know how to deal with Arabs!
Palis love Ghazafi   (05.15.11)
6. There are no spontaneous Islamic riots.
sk ,   USA   (05.15.11)
They are orchestrated by imams and Muslim politicos. Say what you will about the Shin Bet, there is no doubt that these guys know this truth. That the riots continue shows that the political biggies in Israel do not want them to end. And THAT suggests a political agenda.
7. snackbar
yaakov ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
today is the offcial "snackbar" day for the people that belong in jordan and the jordan people don't want them so why should Israel want them?
8. Rioters who throw stones and fire bombs
Spencer ,   Israel   (05.15.11)
...should be targeted and fired upon with LIVE ammunition. They should know this is what awaits them and then maybe after a few examples these incidents would stop.
9. Drive them back to Jordon with napalm and cluster bombs
Ypip ,   Canada   (05.15.11)
(for Sarah)
10. Israel's 'Tet Offensive' has begun.
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.15.11)
For those who don't recall, the North Vietnamese had infiltrated many South Vietnamese cities and towns. Then on the Tet holiday, all hell broke loose as thousands of the infiltrators started a coordinated attack. Israel had better be well-prepared to do what is necessary to protect the people.
11. All it takes is lotsa rubber bullets
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (05.15.11)
using their kneecaps for targets Once they're hit, next time they will have to come crawling to do any more rioting, since with shattered kneecaps they will suffer for the rest of their live
