1. next generation will suffer
ramallah ,   ramallah   (12.13.11)
These are the settlers will make israel fall forever . Keep going
2. settlers must not harm the idf
alexi   (12.13.11)
settlers are pioneers and patriots not scumbags as ereckat calls them or as barak haughtily dismisses them. Settlers have to do a number of things- 1) all of them must acquire martial skills and weapons training to defend their own homes against arabs. 2) elect MKs who support them and Israel 3) seriously consider formation of the state of judea wiht its own army as the tel aviv livnis and baraks are against them. 4) don't run to the idf for every problem. Defend your own areas with tripwires,s entries and dogs.
3. No doubt, this will please the Quartet
Devorah   (12.13.11)
when the latest round of talks begins tomorrow.
4. advice to Mizrahi
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (12.13.11)
Mizrahi is apparently honestly surprised. How dare the Jews get angry when their houses are destroyed and their children beaten by Mizrahi's troops. Mizrahi should ask Barak to give him tickets to Habima's Merchant of Venice. If he pays attention to Scene 1, Act 3 he might understand. "Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge?"
5. Lies and disinformation
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.13.11)
It is not hatred of the IDF - it is hatred of the illegal misuse of the IDF. The commanders in Judea and Samaria have shown a very high level of hatred and violated numerous laws in their hatred of the Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria
6. Whilst I believe that Judea and Samaria are 100%ours..
Mark ,   Lodz, Poland   (12.13.11)
..I cannot condone these settlers' behaviour. We used to be united in Israel in times of existential threats. Sadly, it appears those times are gone.
7.  A MESSAGE FOR GEN AVI MIZRACHI
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.13.11)
If indeed there is hatred towards the IDF ,General Mizrachi would do well to ask himself why ? And why is his reaction to a few stones and a bit of shouting so hysterical and exagerrated ? I have seen worse at London pubs at closing time on the weekend.
8. hatred not of idf but of political generals
moron ,   galut   (12.13.11)
9. It's a sign...my Hebrew name is Ephraim...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (12.13.11)
now forget you heard that.
10. pul-ease. who to believe? Government back talk & lying to
hippocrates ,   earth   (12.13.11)
its nationalist citizens. you have a case where citizens most ardent for the jewish state, willing to lay their life down, are hounded by orders of a supreme court that is not democratically elected but employs nepotism & cronyism, all to maintain a leftist grip on power even if the knesset becomes demographically more nationalist every election.
11. HOW CAN ISRAEL NOT ADMIT THE
... DACON9   (12.13.11)
HOW CAN ISRAEL NOT ADMIT THE THE HATE THE GOVERNMENT HAS FOR ITS OWN CITIZENS IN THE NAME OF WORLD OPION FEAR OF ARABS DISSATISFACTION AND IGNORANCE OF THE HOLY LANDS OWNERSHIP HISTORICALLY NOT ONLY BY HASHEMS WORDS BUT BY '''LIVING'' N THAT LAND FOR OVER 3500 YEARS. I JOIN IN THE ANGER AND PRAYERS THAT THE ISRAELI GOVERNMENT AND THE LIBERAL LEFT WINGS NGOS REPENT or they too will perish with the other non believers
12. I wish people showed more support for their guardians. #7
Henry from New York ,   USA   (12.13.11)
#7, he most likely knows why as that would be part of his job, but I imagine he is having trouble figuring out what to do as these poor fellows have nowhere to go if they are evicted (from what I have heard, the lion's share of people go there because they can't afford to live elsewhere). I would imagine that if he is worried about the stones and such it would be because it is reminiscent of the Second Intifada that I grew up reading about in the newspaper.
13. #3: Not only
Israeli 2   (12.13.11)
please the quartet....it will embolden them.
14. DON'T WORRY LIVNI AND MIZRACHI
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.13.11)
The day the excrement hits the fan and thousands of rockets and missiles are falling ,you will long for the days of the "hateful settlers" .The dumb broad Livni called this a serious crime ,I suggest she spend some time in Britain ,the U.S ,the caribbean and Latin America and she would discover what serious crime really means.
15. The Jewish People learned from Gush Katif...
(12.13.11)
Giving flowers and hugs to the police and soldiers ordered to bulldoze their lives did nothing. How can the state think that they have a free pass to destroy lives? I do not condone violence but I cannot say that I do not understand where they are coming from.
16. Has the IDF turned against the Jews?
fred ,   Jerusalem   (12.13.11)
The Knesset must make it clear in law that the purpose of the iDF is to Defend the Jewish people instead it is being use to destroy and demolish Jewish neighborhoods. It is used to throw Jews out of their homes in the middle of the night. It is used as a whip against those that love the Army and the land of Israel.
17. Gen. Mizrachi
Yoel ,   Ossining,NY   (12.13.11)
These settlers don't understand that their remedy lies in the ballots, not bullets.When they resort to violence against the IDF, they are setting themselves against the Government of Israel. If it's ok for rightists to revolt against the government, then it has to be ok for leftists to revolt. Keep this up and then say"good bye Israel."
18. Deception. Who is Really Behind the Attack?
Linda Rivera ,   New York, USA   (12.13.11)
Most likely, this is the work of government agent provocateurs.This was done in the past around the time of the deadly Oslo Peace (WAR) Agreement, by the leftist Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet). At this present time, it is extremely suspicious that everyone arrested for so-called “price-tag” actions have been released without any charges! Agent provocateurs, indeed! Israeli leaders plan to give away half of the highly cherished Biblical homeland to totalitarian, colonizing, global Islam. In order to accomplish this, Israeli leaders seek to demonize and destroy all compassion for Israel's outstanding and peaceful Jewish citizens of Biblical Judea and Samaria.
19. As an IDF comander I can assure you anyone
Mike ,   Raanana Israel   (12.13.11)
who dares attempt to harm any IDF solider will wish he/she never even thought of it regardles if an arab or an Israeli. Any hand touching an IDF soldier will be met with extreem circumstances. I hope this is clear.
20. We are all trapped
Yael Schlichting ,   Raubling - Germany   (12.13.11)
I don't want to conceal that the countries around the planet treat the peoples of Israel unjust. They cajole the Arabs/Muslims for their oil and in the twenty years behind, they started to believe the lies the Arabs and the die-hard Nazis from Europe repeatedly told without getting punishment for this. Judea and Samaria is our land. It always has been our land. And the Arab refugee problem is an Arab problem and not ours! I have a lot of understanding, that those brothers and sisters, who went there, not only because they are patriots, but also because the governments fostered Israeli development of Judea and Samaria. It was the Israeli government who fostered citizens to move to Sderot....etc And now? The situation is unacceptable! Instead of issuing legislation that clearly regulates the development of Judea and Samaria, the government leaves it up to the courts to decide what to do. For the courts it is a really unappreciative duty, to fill the gaps, governments leave! At least, the government is moving on the issue of financing left wing organizations and their ability to file lawsuits against the development of neighborhoods and infrastructure in our land. It is hard to bear, when even Lieberman buckles before the European anti-semitic governments. We all know, that they will break their word and wont give us their support, when we would need the support of the Europeans. In the meantime, the stateless Arabs walk all over us. We need to be clear on this: The infrastructures built to develop Judea and Samaria today have a value of some NIS 100,000,000,000.-- this figure doesn't show the follow up cost to relocate our brothers and sisters from the land of the patriarchs to say Galilee. Many of the citizens living in Judea and Samaria feel betrayed. And the simpler minds blame the IDF soldiers, who have the unappreciative duty to establish order. They are the least to blame!
21. General Mizrahi
Rochel ,   Los Angeles   (12.13.11)
Dear General Mizrahi: I'm on your side. Please enlist me in the IDF.
22. #19 YOU SCARE NO ONE
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (12.13.11)
OOH.......we are so scared.
23. Don't complain , they're your product ,...
split ,   US   (12.13.11)
24. #17 sadly you are wrong
israel israeli ,   tel aviv   (12.13.11)
Part of the frustration is there is no ballot box in Israel. We elected Rabin instead of Peres, and received Peres' Oslo instead of Rabin's "3 NOs". We watched as Shas was bribed to support Oslo I and Goldfarb bribed to support Oslo 2. We voted Netanyahu to stop the massacre of Jews, and received the Hebron deal and transfer of Northern Samaria to Fatah. We rejected Mitzna and voted Sharon ("the fate of Netzarim will be the fate of Tel Aviv") and the Likud platform and instead got the ethnic cleansing of Meretz thanks to extortion (Sarid's "omek ha chakira"). We voted Netanyahu and the Likud platform and received Ehud Barak as DM and the racist building freeze in Judea and Samaria. You are probably correct: the fact that there is no democracy in Israel means that Israel will not survive. History repeats itself. This is what happened in the Bar Kochva revolt.
25. 6 - We used to be united in Israel ,...
split ,   US   (12.13.11)
'We' ? Another one with loyalty syndrom ,...
26. Government needs to show leadership
Michael   (12.13.11)
both sides need to stop and not let their emotions get the best of them. Not for the government's sake nor for the settler's sake. But for the good of the nation. If the government has a knee jerk reaction to the instigators than they are falling into the trap of the instigators. The IDF and the nation are smarter than that.
27. reply#1and #19
daze ,   US   (12.13.11)
These are the Jews who are going to succeed and push you arabs out of Israel. #19 might be a phoney poster
28. HATRED INSTIGATED
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (12.13.11)
Sadly the IDF has been used as a political tool and as a police force. By entering our villages at 3.00 am and destroying our homes with the help of Arab labor whom they protect, one can not expect a good image. The over reaction and media hype surrounding this event, does not go to the root off the problem. The IDF are our children too, but we do not send them to serve and protect in order to destroy our communities. Behind the scene it as as always Ehud Barak playing his dirty games.
29. I wonder why...
Nour ,   Palestine   (12.13.11)
...Sarah has been quiet on this one! :)
30. #27 are you in a daze as your name suggests?
Mike ,   Raanana Israel   (12.13.11)
The only phoney posts is yours, why dont you stick to your American GI's among the many other issues you have. Thanks
