And we're so glad that you're thousands of miles away and hope you stay there. And for your information, most Israelis don't "loathe" the palestinians - loathe they're leaders, prrobably yes, but not the ordinary Pali who is both a tool and a victim of their leaders.
32. How about cutting his tongue out for encitement.
Kayla ,   Florida   (10.07.11)
And regarding terrorists and protesters against our Jewish State, how about cutting them off from the State of Israel--permanently.
33. Arsonist caused damage, residents much more
Sam   (10.07.11)
Not to minimize the crime, but the arson effects could be repaired with tens of thousands of shekels while the loss of the community hall and city offices will take hundreds of thousands of shekels
34. I hope punishment is served.
JewishHeart ,   Israel   (10.07.11)
I am right-wing and vote Likkud, but for the life of me don't understand why people here are over=reacting about what a couple 18 year old kids from Tuba are saying....18 year old kids from the hilltops have similar anger problems. I agree that synagogues being burnt down have been payed less attention to than mosques being burnt, but that still doesn't excuse mosques being burnt down. Especially a mosque in a friendly Bedouin town that serves in the army and are proud citizens of the state of Israel. I disagree with this altogether, burning down holy buildings is despicable, whether synagogues or mosques or churches (like the Orthodox Jews burnt down the Arab evangelical church in Jerusalem last year). Either way, the residents of Tuba will calm down and their elders will probably help the youth calm down for their own sake. However, what needs building is relationship between Arab minorities that love Israel and serve in the IDF (like Druze and Bedouins) and the Jewish residents of the state of Israel after events like this.
35. Terrorists heads should be cut-off (not heands)
Judd Rusnak ,   Sydney, Australia   (10.07.11)
If the same analogy is used, Arab terrorists heads should be cut-off for every fatal attack conducted against Jews. Where there were NO death involved in the arson, death, is much more serious crime (the Fogel family and the others).
36. Primitive Thinking #1
shlomo   (10.07.11)
One of yours was kicked out of the cadets, because he thought it abhorrent that a woman was singing! Cut of their side-locks I say.
37. 20 Google Sometimes Has more than On Page
Mark ben Josef ,   USA   (10.07.11)
Sometimes you need to look at more than the first result when you use Google. In 2008, some of the Greenhouses were being dismantled to sell for parts and the technology in Egypt - Bottom of the first page. Other results show that some of the greenhouses are still in production, though Israel will not allow them to export, so volume is way down. Still, occasionally some commerce still is allowed, like some of what is being allowed out this week.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
Hey, you're talking to Israelis here. We know EXACTLY what happened in Gaza. Nothing was sold -- the Israelis left them in the hope of creating a basis for good will. One hundred and twenty seven suicide bombings and ten thousand missiles later -- it would appear that Arabs are not much interested in good will. More fool them -- and, it would appear -- you. Since you watched. You're on the list, habibi. Make NO mistake about that.
40. To: Madeleine at No. 31
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
I admire your generosity of spirit and capacity for forgiveness. Me? Not so generous. I loathe them all. I don't want them in my country -- their very presence defiles us. Think of the good use to which we could put the funds that we are forced to spend on security guarding against them. Do we really need them in our lives?
41. Cut off his hands. Cut off the heads of the Vogel killers!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.07.11)
A Mosque can be rebuilt. The Vogel family cannot be brought back to life. No one can condone the burning of a mosque, a church, a synagogue or other house of worship. The Nazis did that and so have others but to have done this in a village like Tuba Zangaria which symbolizes the co-existence which we brag about when we are called an "Apartheid" State. The actions in Tuba Zanagria cause more damage to Israel than all the propaganda which emanates from the Arab world.
42. Tuba Zangaria
Phil ,   Europe   (10.07.11)
There must not be a language of cutting hands. However the criminals must be brought to justice. The Israeli society by all its differences has shown solidarity with Tuba Zangaria. This event can be an opportunity to re-built trust. Israeli society should send a clear message to the teachers of the criminals who have committed and support such a criminal act, that such a horrible act must not happen again.
43. greenhouses
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (10.07.11)
Are those greenhouses OUR problem ? They destroyed their livelihood by destroying them . How can some put this in relation to the arson of a worshipping place ? Arsonist should be punished harshly , ANY of them .
44. Sarah, Primitive?
Phil ,   Europe   (10.07.11)
From what I see, Sarah B is a supporter of these criminal primitive acts . Hah Sarah: who is primitive here?
45. generosity from an ignorant?
Phil ,   Europe   (10.07.11)
This is s the native country of residents of Tuba Zangaria generations after generations. So Sarah, who you think you are to talk about generosity, you being an immigrant your self…Israel needs people who can live together with others not extremists...
46. Cameron # 16 Sort of like...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.07.11)
Republicans and Democrats only worse.
47. is it not the height of arrogance
nva ,   jerusalem   (10.07.11)
for those responders in the US like Mark & in Europe like Phil to lecture us in Israel about what happens here and what the reality is here? I mean what are you thinking? You trust ANY google entry over our first hand experience? Do you not think our soldiers have eyes? I for for one am sick of your condescending attitude based on total ignorance. Find an American or European issue to blabber about...you won't find Israelis sticking their noses in other peoples business. Do us a favor please and go away.

zionist forever   (10.07.11)
The worst part about the desecration of Joseph's Tomb ( twice now ) is the fact that the Muslims have hijacked Joseph made him one of their prophets. So they desecrate the tomb of one of their own prophets because the Jews consider his tomb a holy place.
49. Phil from Eurabia #'s 44 and 45
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (10.07.11)
Natives like Arafat who was Egyptian? Ironic that you are preaching to someone else about ignorance.
50. All equal under law
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (10.07.11)
This says everything.Trouble-makers amongst the Arab residents of Israel pretend that Arabs are not treated equally,yet when they are,they want GREATER consideration. This lamentable incident at Tuba Zangaria was a criminal act and,by all accounts,the police and courts are taking it as seriously as any other criminal act.As serious and disgraceful as this arson is,those demanding arbitrary greater punishments such as cutting off hands should be firmly told WHERE TO GET OFF. כתיבה חתיםה טובה to all. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
51. Learn From The Hindus Of India
kenkafir ,   New Delhi ,India   (10.07.11)
Well done boy ! How and Why was the mosque built there? Mughal Emperor Babar demolished a Hindu temple and built a mosque there .After so many centuries Hindus gathered there and RAZED THAT MOSQUE TO THE GROUND!!! And remember....India has the SECOND LARGEST MUSLIM POPULATION IN THE WORLD!!!
52. To: No 14
j.ALLON ,   Australia   (10.08.11)
You are telling blatant lies .The greenhouses were destroyed by Hamas.Fancy posting such obvious lies on a Jewish site.
53. To: NO 31
j.ALLON ,   Australia   (10.08.11)
So,Pali's that are tools of their leaders should not be loathed?Sorry,but they should be expelled.Israel is for Jews.Arabs can live in a Arab country.
54. To #37 Mark
John ,   Alaska   (10.07.11)
I saw the other results; pro-Muslim or pro-"Palestinian" websites don't carry as much weight as news feeds, which themselves are not known for being biased toward Israel. In fact, AP has an openly anti-Israel agenda. When they report the misdeeds of the "Palestinian" Arabs, one can be sure they aren't mis-reporting it. If anything, they are toning it down. As for the "plight" of the terrorist monsters in Gaza, I am not sympathetic toward murderers. I pray that those who stand against Gaza's evil are led out of there like Lot and his family, before Gaza receives the Biblically-promised reward they have coming.
55. 50-well said.

Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
First of all, there is absolutely no evidence or proof to sustain the fact that a Jewish youth committed the arson. I, for one, find it extremely difficult to understand how an obviously ultra-Orthodox young man could enter a small Arab village without anyone noticing or even a single dog barking to alert everyone to the presence of a stranger. Moreover, we have seen this all before -- Arabs setting fire to their mosques; Arabs destroying their own olive groves; Arabs defiling their own cemeteries. We have also seen Arabs riot, we have seen Arabs assault Jews, we have seen Arabs hurling boulders and cement blocks at cars being driven by Jews. What was that you were saying about primitive? Or do you think that suicide bombings and missiles fired at innocent civilians -- not to mention the examples I cited in the paragraph above -- are the hallmark of a highly evolved people?
57. To: No. 36
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
I think it abhorrent every time I hear Lady Gaga "sing." So what?
58. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
Unfortunately for you, stupidity has no known cure. Have fun wallowing in your incredible ignorance.
59. To: No. 42
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
While not a word from you about the five murdered members of the Fogel family or Asher and Yonatan Palmer, you are assuming facts not in evidence that a Jew is responsible for the arson in Tuba Zangaria. Moreover, not a peep out of you about desecration of Jewish graves, burning of Jewish holy places and anti-Semitic slogans scrawled on the walls of synagogues. Are you always this hypocritical?
60. To: No. 45
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (10.07.11)
Tuba Zangaria is a Bedouin village. By definition, Bedouins are nomads. Generations after generations. Get an education.
