31. Violence in Jerusalem
Steve a ,   manchester England   (06.02.11)
Nothing has changed since the Peel commission said in 1937 that because the arabs & the Jews were unable to live to-gether in one state, Palestine had to be divided into two states. The violence will continue until there are two states living side by side. The Israeli religious/right wing & the lunatic Hamas will not let this happen !
32. @6 The One G-d who chose Israel, like it or not.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (06.02.11)
33. these slurs make news because they are exceptional.
Elianana ,   Jerusalem   (06.02.11)
On the arab side the slurs don't make news because the are the rule and not the exception. Please do not over estimate people who say these things. It is necessary to put it in perspective.
34. A vocal minority is not the whole story
Yonatan ,   Jerusalem   (06.02.11)
What is the story? This is a typical 'making a mountain out of a molehill' story and the majority of the responses, both for and against are exactly what that this piece of shoddy jounalism intended to provoke. 40,000 people marched through Jerusalem yesterday to show their support for the future of this city as the undivided capital of Israel. A very small minority (under 1%) behaved in rude and thuggish manner. What this means is that 39,900 people didn't shout offensive slogans . That however is not 'news'.
35. to #31 india also in the same mess as result
ghostq   (06.02.11)
of British idiotcy, I think it isn't the people fault but the British as policy of devide conquer kill and blame.
36. No. 11 Nina
NYC Girl   (06.02.11)
That's right. We call Hamas extremists...because that's what the f--k they are. Where do you think the suicide bombers were coming from who were trying to turn Israel into a slaughterhouse a couple of years ago? And, not only that, but they're now brainwashing the next generation with seemingly benign children's TV shows using the Palestinian version of Mickey Mouse...until you understand what they're saying in Arabic about killing Jews and Christians. And when was the last time Israelis sent their children to "suicide kindergarten" in order to learn how to slaughter innocent Arabs? But if you don't see the difference, it can only be as a result of having blinders on when it comes to the real nature of the conflict.
37. thank you observer
numedia berber girl ,   tizi ouzou, algeria   (06.02.11)
i admire your comments
38. agree - death to traitors
yoni ,   tel aviv   (06.02.11)
left wingers prosecute our politicians and army in foreign courts, take funding from anti Israel countries, spy for foreign entities, obstruct our homeland security, undermine the JEWISH state. whats wrong with saying they should be put to death as traitors?
39. comments are bunch of prejudiced sheep
dan ,   usa   (06.02.11)
Article says dozens of right winger chanted slurs.. and then we have comments attributing that to all right wing settlers.. that is called prejudice... and is a slippery slope. You would be no better then the dozen youth, if you proceed in that direction.
40. to 26.. death to leftist
dan ,   usa   (06.02.11)
Death to leftists are being chanted at the provocateurs of the Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement who came to provoke... and provoke they did. What do you expect when provoked? least OUR children dont resort to throwing rocks at them and stoning cars.
41. Wait until these people are armed
Bless Israel ,   United States   (06.02.11)
and waiting at the borders of Israel for invaders. No self respecting Jew should be silent when the muslim hordes are at your gates. The pals want war? They've got it. The pals will never have their own state, never.
42. NO TO NATIONALISM !!! REMEMBER DREYFUS
a zionist Jew ,   UK   (06.02.11)
How many people are aware of the Dreyfus case of late 19th century France? Ultra nationalism always ends up secluding racially and persecuting the ethnic minorities. Just because SOME Arabs want us dead does not mean we should collectively wish the same to them. Learn the lessons please.
43. they were just shouting the name
itay ,   reut ,israel   (06.02.11)
of hamas's iz a-din al qassam brigades commander "muhammed death!! muhammed death!!"
44. 12 marwan (bargutti?)
itay ,   reut, israel   (06.02.11)
yeeeeeah, keep kidding yourself, we all know 97.8% of terrorists and conflicts on planet earth involve people who are followers of a certain religion, its name starts with i and ends with slam (slum). this article, do you know what is it equivalent to? an article about "a human bite a dog"!
45. Rightists in Jerusalem: Muhammad is dead, butcher Arabs
HUSSAIN TAMMIMI ,   Riyadh - Saudi Arabi   (06.02.11)
I am a good friend of Israel - has always been defending the Israeli right - but the video clip was a racist - I was very embarrassed when some Arabs Send this video to a mi - but in the end, these few do not represent Israel at all.
46. #26: What about the ACTUAL DEATH of rightsts?
Daniel ,   Formerly Israel   (06.02.11)
objectively speaking, you are right to be outraged by rightists saying that leftists should die, but ask yourself this: What kind of person are you if you show more outrage when right-wingers call for leftists to die than left-wingers cause rightists to die? Where was your handwringing and indignation when, on Barak's orders, they gave Jenin and Bethlehem over to the PA; when they took down the road-blocks, dismantled the check-points, opened the high-ways, and took away the settlers' guns? What about the children who were massacred at Mercaz-Ha-Rav, The two security guards shot in Binyamin?, the four travelers gunned down on a samaria road?, the two shot in the Jordan Valley? the child murdered with an axe? The Rabbi shot to death in his car?, or the one shot at the bus-stop? The Fogels slaughtered by infiltrators from Hawara just a few months after that check-point went down? the young man shot by a PA guard leaving Schechem? Those were all just in the past three years: Are the leftists outraged about them? Did they stop and think ahead about how their policies might endanger them? Do they even care about those deaths now? Are they even aware of how many are dead? Or are they too busy vilifying those still alive and trying to kick them out of their homes? What would you have the rightists say?
47. i wish i was there!!!
Ester   (06.02.11)

50. to #42 that is not just in Israel
ghostq   (06.02.11)
all extreme right wingers say that even in Europe, you should see the rallies some the police get involved.
51. Yes, I blame them, but I also blame myself
sh   (06.02.11)
- for realizing so late what has happened to our dream.
52. to no.2
gdfathermax ,   tel aviv israel   (06.02.11)
what do want. the pali scum prpoganda has turned the world against us. theses boys are only reacting to the negativity around us. grow up and show your pride and support for israel. no one else cares about us. we must stand proud and strong. jordan is palestine and not israel.
53. When the arabs stop hating us
Jorge ,   Israel/USA/Argentina   (06.02.11)
There will not need to do this demostration. We ask for peace, we get missiles. We want security, we get AntiSemitic resolutions.
54. One sided
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (06.02.11)
When the Arabs and the leftists chant "Death to Jews" it is apparently okay. When a Jew says the reverse it is terrible. When a terrorist kills an innocent the Arabs celebrate--yet all is okay. I think the real objection to these chants is not that they are taking place BUT they fly in the face of the leftist media who wants to give Israel away. The more people who loudly proclaim their support of a strong Israel, the weaker this media will become. Also, this group may be chanting --but how many have blown themselves up to put words into actions---When the left can't find anything easy to complain about re: the right, they will dig until they find the actions of a small small group and make it the story.
55. All lies
jewish whale ,   haifa, Israel   (06.02.11)
I was in the Old City all day, and went through the shuk numerous times as well as through the Damascus gate- none of this happened as portrayed. These were highschool/yeshiva students waving flags, singing "Am Yisroel Chai" there were no riots.
56. I agree with # 22 & # 23
Faith   (06.02.11)
This violent and disgusting behavior on the part of Jewish Israelis is not justifiable, no matter how badly many of us have suffered from war and terrorism. I still firmly believe, as a Jewish Israeli who has lived here going on 41 years now, that we have to keep our dignity and sense of honor, despite all the hate and killing. It is exactly this kind of behavior that inspired a young Jewish right-wing man to kill Yitzchak Rabin, z"l. I love this country with all my heart, and refuse to legitimize Jews chanting songs about murder. It goes against anything a good Jew should believe in and practice.
57. #45 Hussein
solomon ,   bklyn   (06.02.11)
Thank you for understanding. But those in power in Israel should be speaking out against what happened. Salaam.
58. long live everybody from all raices!
ranan ,   ramat- gan   (06.02.11)
i'm rightist too and i don't want to kiill anyone. don't kill, just talk. and still i saw arabs calling to kill jews and set israel's flag on fair. i'm against that too.
59. Response to false accusations against Islam
Amr Sameh ,   Cairo, Egypt   (06.02.11)
Islam is a religion that preaches peace and compassion between individuals of a society, regardless of their religions. In the times when Islam's teachings were practiced precisely as Allah and his prophet have taught us, people were never forced into Islam. But actually, many of them converted to Islam because they found in it all what a human being could need from: spirtuality, knowledge and logical proofs which indicate only one thing; Allah is the only god. What many of you may witness from violence that happen allegedly in the name of Islam, are only ways of confusing and misleading people from the truth about Islam. I kindly ask you all before making any false accusation about Islam, to read about it from neutral sources that aren't biased to any regime or any school of thought. Then you'll find what Islam is trully about.
60. #2 - all of them, Haim?
William ,   Israel   (06.02.11)
I guess blanket statements and discrimination are pretty common among Leftists, it seems. I know many settlers and very few of them speak in violence or act in violence. Many of them are actually in good relations with their "Palestinian" neighbors but that never gets published: 1) because it diffuses your hatred against them in Leftist circles, and 2) Arab terrorists would focus on the coexistence to destroy it, the way Hamas did in Kalkiya, next to Alefei Manashe. You conveniently ignore that many settlers decried the assassination of Rabin, but your Leftist blinders, the same you use to promote terrorists as lovable puppy dogs and just all around great guys, cause you to remain myopic.
