1. it all started when the settlers hit back
haim ,   beer sheva   (10.01.11)
So this arab "activist" sets up a protest tent INSIDE their settlement. more left wing activists join the protest. And then there are clashes...
2. I was there - it wasn't a clash it was an attempted lynch!
Erez ,   Jerusalem   (10.01.11)
3. Don't expect roses when you attack someone's home.
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.02.11)
Israel's pampered leftists have got to learn a lesson quickly. Not to expect roses when they attack the homes of Judea and Samaria Jews. They should rightfully expect the same sort of response they'd get if they attacked the home of a Texas ranger. A man's home is his castle and sometimes frontier justice is the right medicine.
4. Provocation and harassment of settler children - expect...
Nicole ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.02.11)
First of all the settlers have fresh wounds from last week murder of Asher Palmer murder with baby son Yonatan . Article says left wing protesters throwing rocks at kids on their bikes and later protesters came back and blocked settlement entrance. It is obvious they were looking for trouble and settlers were defending themselves. I don't know whose side is telling full truth but in this case it looks settlers provoked. Since last week murder of Palmer family I feel the settlers are naturally more defensive.
5. It is rather OBVIOUS. The activists went there to
Harry Wright ,   UK   (10.02.11)
provoke a fight and got a good thrashing.
6. #2 - prove it
William ,   Israel   (10.02.11)
First off - you admit your own guilt in breaking Israeli law which forbids Israelis from entering the West Bank without permission. Second, you admit to joining a group who's sole aim was incitement and instigation, in the form of unlawful entry. In light of your obvious criminal background, what basis do you have to demand credibility for anything you say?
7. Good for the settlers
William ,   Israel   (10.02.11)
These same Leftists scream when Jews return to their stolen homes in Jerusalem, calling them settlers and illegals, while at the same time supporting an Israeli Arab who breaks into a settlement and plops on land he's never even seen before. It smack of Apartheid, incitement, and basic criminality. It is the absolute right of the settlers to protect themselves, whether from racist Arab hordes or Leftists who's incitement and dehumanization policies of settlers have directly lead to violence against and deaths of settlers (AKA Israeli citizens living on reclaimed Jewish land) including those as young as 4 months.
8. Provocations' aim is to justify govt disarming of settlers
Tracy W   (10.02.11)
Settlers should beware of provocations by leftists, Arabs, police and IDF. It's all geared at finding an excuse for the govt to intimidate, disarm and disempower settlers in order to minimize resistance to major expulsions planned by the govt. Defend yourselves but be careful and trust no one.
9. A question
Robert ,   Australia   (10.02.11)
If Jews even fight among themselves how can anyone conduct genuine negotiations with them?
10. reality
michaelpielet ,   boca raton, Israel   (10.02.11)
Giborai Israel should be congratulated for striking out against leftist traitors.
11. What Were They Thinking?
Dallas ,   Canada   (10.02.11)
How incredibly rude! To invade someone's community to make a scene about their right to live there? Pretty provocative. In most of world history such an act would result in a pile of bodies. The "activists" (invaders) should show a little more class.
12. Left wing arab activists want to spoil the new year, so
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (10.02.11)
whatever kicks get thrown their way they deserve.
13. clash
IRV ,   USA   (10.02.11)
Its about time common Israelis stood up to these leftist bullies who come to legally established communities and threaten their very existence. The leftists get treated and beat by the very tactics they use then want to cry foul. I for one am glad to see this its about time since the government won't do anything to protect these communities from these leftist baboons.
14. liars - stop false delegitimation NOW
liars   (10.02.11)
i watched the video and there is absolutely nothing in there. what are you guys talking about, how about stop falsely delegitimizing settlers in particular and israel in general
15. settlers u can join with fatah and hamas terrorists end
joe ,   kfar saba   (10.02.11)
16. Bad headline byYnet. Leftists provoke Settlers
Brian Cohen ,   Peoples FrontofJudea   (10.02.11)
Yet another case of extremists from the left provoking violence.
17. Never a quiet day in the Holy Land
Cameron ,   USA   (10.02.11)
18. SETTLERS?! Jews are NOT SETTLERS in Israel!
Kayla ,   Florida   (10.02.11)
Hashem gave us the land of Israel. Of course, we are supposed to honor Him and the Torah in return. The Arabs do not have enough land already outside of Israel? They want us out--out of Israel--out of existence. WAKE UP PEOPLE.
19. Violence is the language of the right wing
Haim ,   TA   (10.02.11)
Unfoertuently violence is the only language the right-wing religious settlers understand. They will bring this country to civil war between religious and secular, jew Vs Jew.
20. #19 stop your BS. I see plenty of violence from the anarchis
rachel ,   usa   (10.02.11)
anarchists and so called left wings .
21. all my support is for you SETTLERS!!!!!
Ester   (10.02.11)
i cant wait to join you!!! Im Yirzeh H'' be karov :D
22. Arab and leftwing provocations.
Spencer ,   Israel   (10.02.11)
An Arab pitches a tent in a Jewish village. Other Arabs and anti-Israel leftwingers arrive to support this tent pitcher (whose sole aim was to provike), an Israeli flag is torn up and stones are thrown at Jewish children who live in the township and then the entrance to the township is blocked .... and people have the audacity to blame the Jewish residents for the clash. If that doesn't show prejudice and a total lack of objectivity then nothing will.
