1. Why don't you ever run an article about Mt. of Olives were..
Equal press? ,   Not in Israel   (10.08.11)
THOUSANDS of Jewish graves are destroyed by Arabs??????
2. Vandalism
belivable ,   Jerusalem   (10.08.11)
In Yom Kippur Israel closes the ways across the Green Line to avoid vandalism from the other side, but Israel can't prevent vandalism in our side. Why?
3. The two R's
Sagi   (10.08.11)
Religion and Racism go hand in hand and produce violence. Both are disgusting.
4. Price Tag
AARON ,   TEL AVIV   (10.08.11)
Police knows who did it, I kindly ask them to catch them.
5. THIS DESERVES A CLOSER LOOK...Smells fishy...Smells of iran.
jewishness ,   NYC, USA   (10.08.11)

6. Muslims do doubt ....
Malone ,   Hfx   (10.08.11)

Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (10.08.11)

8. well, as long as the law remains SELECTIVE....
nice ,   tlv   (10.08.11)
there is NO need 4 CROCODILE tears. period
9. How things have changed.
Shmuel ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (10.08.11)
It was always said that Israel was a safe haven for Jews around the world. There could never be another Holocaust, G-d forbid, because Jews could go to Israel. Now Israel is making it more dangerous for Jews around the world. Israel provokes retaliatory actions, creates anti-Semitism, and turns the world against Jews. How ironic. And how terribly, terribly sad.
10. ...and this on Yom Kippur. Do these maniacs have no shame?
PaulZion ,   Israel   (10.08.11)
It looks like this is a coordinated effort of planned provocations to ignite the region - first Tuba and now Jaffa. I call on all REAL Jews, who have a conscience ( not those right wing rabid barbarians who think they have the monopoly on G-d and justify all their criminal acts by quoting from the Torah) to unite to oust these Hilltop Youth thugs and work towards religious tolerance. These animals are not acting in the best interests of the country. Their actions, if we don't stop them, will be our collective demise. Period.
11. Disgusting but no unexpected!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.08.11)
How many Jews have been killed by Arabs? How many Jewish lives ave been destroyed by Arabs? Israeli Arabs, citizens of Israel and Members of the Knesset, conspire with the Turks to de-legitimize Israel and kill our soldiers and they get away with it. They support and encourage boycotts against our produces and then cry when they have no jobs! No, this sort of behavior is not right and revenge is no the Jewish way How many Jews have been killed by Arabs? How many Jewish lives ave been destroyed by Arabs? Israeli Arabs, citizens of Israel and Members of the Knesset, conspire with the Turks to de-legitimize Israel and kill our soldiers and they get away with it. They support and encourage boycotts against our products and then cry when they have no jobs! No, this sort of behavior is not right and revenge is no the Jewish way but some of our people are just sick and tired of the way Israel is maligned, victimized and con deed by the world when butchers like Assad, supported by Russia and China, kill their own and our "friends" continue to demand we give in to Arab demands to split our capital and endanger our country and the Jewish people!but some of our people are just sick and tired of the way Israel is maligned, victimized and condemned by the world when butchers like Assad, supported by Russia and China, kill their own and our "friends" still continue to demand we give in to Arab demands to split our capital and endanger our country and the Jewish people!
12. Any idiot can see that graffiti is written by an arab hand.
Adam ,   Golan Heights Israel   (10.08.11)
13. Yom Kippur
Lioness ,   Israel   (10.08.11)
Haha, So it cant be religious Jews who were in synagogue all day today and dont forget yesterday they would have gone to afternoon service and eaten their meal before the fast. It is either Arabs or left-wingers!!!!
14. Jews must join in Arab protest.
leo ,   usa   (10.08.11)
These vandals are khazerim and if they claim to be Jews they are truly a shame of Jews.
15. no way jew did it.
jew ,   il   (10.08.11)
on the Hebrew site no comment allow, v sucky lamerz system. (Anti jew)
16. Looks like another false flag!
Jayjay ,   Israel   (10.08.11)
Before pointing fingers YNet, how about first finding out who did it? You are playing right into the leftist and Arabs hands.......more than likely, they did it themselves to ignite more hatred at the Settlers!
17. "price tag"?
meir ,   TA   (10.08.11)
No "settlers" and few religious Jews live in Jaffa !
18. Obvious fake
shmuel ,   Merkaz, Israel   (10.08.11)
Just look at the "handwriting" on the grave. That is clearly not the work of a Jew. You can see that it was done by someone who is a native arabic writer.
19. of course Baruch Marzel came from hevron
Ester   (10.08.11)
to paint some arab graves lol this makes sense
20. That handwriting looks weird
Moshino ,   Tel Aviv   (10.08.11)
That's the first thing that jumped out at me when I saw the picture. It doesn't look like it was written by an Israeli-born Jew. You can also rule out religious Jews because no religious Jew would ever dare desecrate Yom Kippur.
21. Conclusion
Ronny Judah ,   Melbourne Australia   (10.08.11)
We can not blame any body unless we have proof/ I do not think a jew will do such an act before the day of iudgement and if he has done it then it is very shameful. It can also give a red light to the arabs if indeed a jew has done this that what goes around comes around,
22. The difference is..
Racheal ,   Rehovot   (10.08.11)
This act is not condoned or applauded, The peptrators should/will be caught and punished according to the law. And the vandals who defaced Joseph's Tomb and performed other such acts? What happened to them? 'nuff said.
23. Horrible, I am ashamed
Ze'ev   (10.08.11)
The same kind of scum that paints swastikas on Jewish graves in Europe.
24. Tuba-Zangaria last week and Jaffa today..and tomorrow?
Phil ,   Europe   (10.08.11)
Denial and Denial. It is sad that so many Israelis deny that this is an act of Jews and blame it on the Arab minority and above all are suprprized that the friends of Israel are getting rare. It is not by denying that you will solve the problem. Denail encourages the criminals. It is a great shame Israel is getting extreme. Tuba-Zangaria last week and Jaffa today…and tomorrow?
25. Most likely just vandalism by our wonderful youth.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (10.08.11)
Too many kids neither in school or in shul. Racism? Makes a change from these vandals putting up swastikas. Price tag - not on Yom Kippur.
26. VANDALISM
SJOERD RUURD VAN DER ,   MANKINDSHIP   (10.08.11)
THAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT CAN HAPPEN IN A DICTATORSHIP, WE ALREADY KNEW AND KNOW, SO IT MIGHT BE A PROVE OF IT.
27. #2, #10
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (10.08.11)
Who painted the graffiti. Jews? Arabs? No one knows. And in any case, Yom Kippur has nothing to do with it. The graffiti was painted at least two weeks ago, probably before.
28. Highly Suspicious
Jonny Hart ,   Netanya, Israel   (10.08.11)
I find it interesting that Christian graves were included in the attack. Since when do Jews target Christian sites in these so-called price tag acts? Seems to me like the work of Arab thugs trying to damage Judeo-Christian relations.
29. "Jews and Arabs protested against it"
William ,   Israel   (10.09.11)
and when Jewish citizens are attacked and their cemeteries, holy places are targeted, do any Arabs join with Jews to protest that? I haven't seen one yet, and that speaks volumes.
30. #10 - which is why its pretty doubtful to be by Jews
William ,   Israel   (10.09.11)
It is highly doubtful that religious Jews committing this crime ON Yom Kippur. They'd be in prayers all day, or resting. This is the absolute one day that even writing cannot take place, let alone using implements of destruction. I can understand how Leftist Jews would target them for this crime. Most are secular and wouldn't know this act is strictly forbidden among those who hold Yom Kippur and Judaism dear, which most seculars do not.
