61. Another point of view
John Smith ,   Dallas, USA   (05.25.11)
The prime minister also shrugged off the display, and took advantage of it to praise the democratic values of freedom of speech and protest. "You can't have these protests in Tehran," he said. "This is real democracy." and then the AIPAC supporters took her out and beated her like the way they do in Teheran
62. Code Pink is NOT
Alan ,   Washington, D.C. USA   (05.25.11)
a "pacifist" organization, Ynet. They are radical Stalinazis who hate Jews, even though their leadership is full of dimwits like Medea Benjamin and this pathetic knucklehead Abileah. Please get your facts right. To call them "pacifists" is insulting real pacifists.
63. let her try this in Iran or any other arab country
rachel ,   usa   (05.25.11)
64. "AIPAC silences voice of opposition"
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
Really? There are plenty of voices of opposition, including Ms. Abileah's. She wasn't beaten up (as she claims), she wasn't given a background check to ensure she wouldn't cause trouble, AND she had the chance to voice her OPINION. I'm sure after she was thrown from a gathering that she wasn't really invited to nor arrived with honest intentions, she joined the other voices outside whom she claims are 'silenced'". While I respect her right to voice her opinion, let's understand that that's exactly what it is - HER OPINION. Her voice at AIPAC was so much louder than the voices in Gaza and Libya which are snuffed out very quickly.
65. When she was in Gaza....
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
did she bother to ask why Hamas placed so many IEDs next to civilian buildings, which in the end created most of the damage of Cast Lead? Did she bother to ask Hamas why they lied about the civilian death toll and once she found out less than 35% killed were civilians, a portion of them at the hands of Gazan terrorists themselves, did she re-formulate her opinion? When she was in Gaza, did she notice how Hamas used civilian infrastructure and human shields, to commit the war crimes against Israelis which had gone unabated for 7 years prior? Funny these dinks from Code Pink. They claim "war crimes" against Israel but put a lot of effort to ignore those that even Goldstone couldn't ignore - and G-d knows he tried.
66. #1 - she stated that she was in Gaza...
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
and still she couldn't see the abundance there that the Sudanese minister was able to see after he just arrived. Dim-witted is right, but even worse when it's self-inflicted.
67. #53 - ah, never give up on a good blood libel
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
"Jewish elite...financing conflicts between Arabs and Jews" Hoe do they do it? First they brought the Grand Mufti to instigate murder of Jews then brought in Hitler to murder Jews...all to make money and deface the peaceful Arab. Shear amazement!
68. AIPAC activists beat me
Freebeach ,   Australia   (05.25.11)
After reading the comments I can't believe how ignorant and uninformed some people are. I just wish there were more Rae Abileah's in this world. The Zionism ideology will destroy Israel.
69. #24 - Chomsky, Finkelstein, Code Pink, etc.
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
all call for Israel to be dissembled and a State of Palestine in its place. I can see why you would see them as "bringers of peace". Equality and dignity? Not so much, especially for those you have targeted for ethnic cleansing....but we do know what "Arab human rights" means when compared to those of the "free world".
70. #25 - I invite you to a Bilin protest
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
and you can witness yourself the "non-violent" ways of the Left who always seem to degrade into violence somehow. Other Leftist peaceful protests? Try the WTO and anarchist events around the world. Another peaceful Leftist? Chavez, Mullahs in Iran...list goes on. That's why the Left has been voted out of our govt. They are quickly becoming irrelevant around the world.
71. #29 - Leftists have a strong belief in democracy...
William ,   Israel   (05.25.11)
but only for themselves and those they support. All others are considered "uneducated" and need Leftist guidance to become better people.
72. She should have yelled: "Don't taze me, bro'!" LOSER.
democrat ,   usa   (05.25.11)
73. Abileah and Rachel Corrie
David ,   Montpelier USA   (05.25.11)
Abileah should suffer the same fate as Rachel Corrie. Let's not forget that supporters of terrorists only deserve one fate.
74. CRAZYYY
gordon ,   canada   (05.25.11)
Wow, you are crazy buddy. Keep it up though, everyone sees through you nut jobs
75. This is the mindest of Israeli supporters...Haunting
Gordon ,   canada   (05.25.11)
Wow, that is absolutely the most sickening thing I have ever read. Ynet you need to hunt this guy down and prosecute him. This is the mindset of the Israeli and the Israel can do no wrong crowd. Hateful. Sickening. Stomach turning. Gut wrenching. Vile. Disgusting. Pathetic.
76. Why lie about HRW
Jewess ,   New York, NY   (05.25.11)
HRW has written 8 reports about Saudi Arabia and the only people who believe that HRW gets money from Saudi royals are right wing nutjobs and extremist Jews from the West Bank who drink excessively to deal with their anger management issues and harass Palestinians. B'tselem has you on tape.
77. Pathetic women stalks Bibi
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.25.11)
Pulled the same charade when Bibi spoke in New Orleans. Then she displays photos of herself in a neck brace or with scratches on her arm to show what a hero she is for her anti-Israel social club. Ship her to Sderot where she can learn about real war crimes.
78. Brave & honest.
Paola ,   Washington, DC   (05.25.11)
Thank you, Rae. Real Americans appreciate your bravery.
79. Rae has done this before
Angeline ,   California   (05.25.11)
Rae has done this before, and loves the attention. Occassionally her plans backfire- in Berkeley California, several months back fellow activists, embarrassed by her tactics, interupted one of her talks, repeatedly. The point was to show her teh effects of bad behavior. Clearly she did not learn her lesson
80.  family dynamics
Toby ,   San Francisco   (05.26.11)
Rae was abandoned by a Jewish father many years ago . Her endless need for attention, as well as her need to get back at her Jewish side fuels all this unnecessary hate. I pray this sad, misguided girl gets therapy and gets her life back on track.
81. a Hero
DisenfranchiseJew ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.11)
This woman is a true hero to all Jews. She is saving us from our own self-destruction.
82. #81 Hero to shrews
Ron ,   US   (05.26.11)
Let's hope she gets the psychiatric help she obviously needs.
83. Useful idiot
Bob ,   USA   (05.26.11)
The Communists had a word for mindless little tools like this. At least when it was the USA they were hating on.
84. Hey Gordon
Jones ,   Sacramento USA   (05.26.11)
I thought you were in favor of free speech? Now you want a news outlet to hunt someone down and have them prosecuted because they think supporters of terrorists and authoritarian dictatorships deserve death for such an alligiance?
85. This woman is a hero to stand to the Corrupt AIPAC Group
James Thurman ,   Los Angeles   (05.26.11)
Free Palestine!
86. Stupid left-wingers
Gabriel ,   Jerusalem   (05.26.11)
Always know only 3 things to yell: Imperialism, occupation and war crimes... No matter what. Even when that's not the case and there's no connection to the things being said. I believe it's the effect of the marijuana...
87. Well if i was nearby i would've felt compelled to smack her
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (05.26.11)
to the floor! She would've never dard behave like this in a arab/muslim country simply because they would have shot, stabbed or simply beheaded her. She porbably belongs in a hospital ward!
88. AIPAC
Alfredo Weeks ,   Atlanta   (05.27.11)
Any one on this blog who thinks she deserved what she given, is clearly out of touch with reality , the ideals of democracy, and the Zionist propaganda that isn't far off from Nazi fascism. ANY SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM IS BETTER THAN CONFLICT. If Israel and Palestine come to an agreement and the Palestinians violate the terms of that agreement(violently), then Israel has every right to defend itself, but until then,"Give Peace A Chance".
89. AIPAC are a bunch of ignorant thugs
Dov ,   Tel Aviv   (05.28.11)
90. Abi leah
Asher ,   Melbourne, Australia   (05.28.11)
Is this Democracy in action? It is worse than Tehran and Tel Aviv!! Beat up your oponents and then try and impose this in the middle east.
