1. They want peace or piece?
Israeli 2   (06.27.11)
Rotten apples.
2. Maybe they'd like try living in Syria for a while?
Ben Yisrael ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.27.11)
3. Damn bleeding heart terrorist-lovers...
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (06.27.11)
Seal off the town until the barbarians either turn themselves in or are handed over. War is war, and will not be one by worrying about the welfare of those trying to destroy us.
4. dogs
Francis ,   Melbourne   (06.27.11)
what a bunch of dogs, these ppl are not humans. no idea how israel can negotiate with a ppl that are so disgusting, who teach hate from an early age. this conflict will never end!!! israel must continue to be vigilent and protect themselves while promoting economic growth in the so called west bank and gaza to improve daily life for them. enough!
5. The racist hatred pumped out in Pal OFFICIAL media,at work.
PETER SM ,   Australia   (06.27.11)
They did not get to kill him and drag his body in the strets
6. Find upstanding Folks
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (06.27.11)
This article shows the true colors of so many Arabs. A Jew enters "their" village and he is almost killed. Yet, you walk Jerusalem, ride the trains, go to any mall in the country etc. etc. and you see Arabs walking along unmolested. Right now I am scared for the Viilage Head and his sons who saved him. I fear that they put themselves in great danger for going against the animalistic behaviors of their neighbors. Kol Hakovod to them.
7. Enough is Enough. The Pals OFFICIALLY STATED
EZ ,   USA   (06.27.11)
They dont want peace with their "UN bid". That's that. Time to take back ALL of our land. No more BEATINGS FOR BEING JEWISH! CHAI YISRAEL.
8. Partners for peace?
Steve ,   USA   (06.27.11)
I can hear the UN condemning this barbaric lynching..LOL (ya right! ) When I was young my friends and I would cut class from Rene Cassin HS in Ramat Eshkol and go into East Jerusalem to play snooker with no fear that something like this would happen. The Arabs were so happy to have actual business (even from wayward Jewish teens) or tourists after years of living in poverty under the Jordanians. I guess the 'thrill' of success is gone and the inherent barbaric nature has returned. Perhaps the 'village elders' were some of the same store owners who welcomed us those many years ago. They should be commended for saving this mans life. I'm sure the barbarians would have 'finished him off' had there been no intervention.
9. we can not go anywhere we wanna go
(06.27.11)
and those who think we can are crazy in da coconut
10. To the muhtar and his sons
R ,   Israel   (06.27.11)
What you did is true bravery and leadership. No good for either side would have come from a lynch. I wish there were more like you. Thank you!
11. The Muhktar should be praised. He was very brave and did
Kol Hakavod   (06.27.11)
the right thing to save the young man from a much worse fate. As for the hooligan yob mob, what can one say about them? losers!
12. this is the only true face of peace....
Joe Black ,   NYC   (06.27.11)
Every Jew is scared Shiteless of going through any PA or Arab city as they will lynch and kill you. But look at Arabs going through Jewish cities all day and night and residents will even give them directions! This is what the peace process is about, endangering the life of Israeli's. You want to make peace with animals like this? are you mad? Make the separation wall bigger and longer. Rule with an iron fist!
13. Rabid animals not humans!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (06.27.11)
Enough said.
14. why nothing happens to Arabs who walk in Jewish areas?
(06.27.11)
15. only positive part about this...
oren   (06.27.11)
is the fact that its good to know there are some good decent people that actually do want peace and would risk their lives to save him.. allows for a little light of hope to continue
16. Could you imagine?
Golani ,   USA/Israel   (06.27.11)
Could you imagine although it too would be wrong, if a Palestinian went into an Israeli town and was lynched and beaten? Israel as a nation would be condemed and it would be all over the news. This will most likely not even make the news in the US or anywhere outside of Israel.
17. he was probably a mossad agent
pinar ,   USA   (06.27.11)
he was probably a mossad agent
18. Do the leftists & "peace now" condemn violence against Jews
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (06.27.11)
It would only be fair for these groups to also condemn violence against Jews just as they always do it for the Arabs.
19. #1 no savages
(06.27.11)
20. In the land of lawlessness
Brod ,   USA   (06.27.11)
In the land of lawlessness, Jews should be armed to defend themselves from Islamist-Jihadist thugs. This is called deterrence.
21. and we want to make peace with these?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (06.27.11)
22. children of Abraham?
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (06.27.11)
The forefather Abraham was father of Ishmael, progenitor of the Arab nation. He was widely known to initiate the custom of welcoming guests with his famous tent open to the four directions. Is this the way to honor his memory. You show by your acts that the land doesnt belong to you.
23. someone admits that gps software in Israel is problematic
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (06.27.11)
24. Why to Ein Kerem when it happened near Hadassah on Mt Scopus
Stephen JF ,   London   (06.27.11)
25. just realized this didn't happened in the WB
ghostq   (06.27.11)
this happened inside Jerusalem, meaning Israeli Arabs did this, they have proven time after time none can live next to them.
26. #24, Stephen
israeli ,   israel   (06.27.11)
Maybe because a more severe head injury was suspected. There is no Neurosurgery service in Mt. Scopus.
27. Intifada against palestinian terror
Susya Bar Dror ,   IL   (06.27.11)
compatriotes join for a jewish intifada against pali terror. PS: lets use the expression "intifada" for everything: cottage-prices, flyes, against dog-dirt and bad weather and bad breath.
28. Won't make it to international news
...   (06.27.11)
After all, it was only a jew getting hurt.
29. was that also well-planned ambush?
observer ,   Egypt   (06.27.11)
lone person cant betray himself as did one of those four; http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3980165,00.html
30. this used to happen often in US in the 1960s
wally ,   usa   (06.27.11)
if a white man wandered into black ghetto this would happen. US was very backward in those days, white politicians even ran for office in favor of racial segregation. Look at America now... a black President. How the world has changed
