1. Selective enforcement favors Arabs
BH ,   Iowa   (12.20.11)
2. Hes got a point
jonathan ,   MN/US   (12.20.11)
3. Reality
Michael Pielet ,   Israel   (12.20.11)
The giborai israel living in Judea and Samaria are constantly persecuted, The courts and press give the arabs a free ride. Moshe should move to an arab country. He will be happier there.
4. even inside Israel, jews and arab citizens..
Rami of Nazareth ,   Israel   (12.20.11)
jews and arab citizens are not equal before the law
5. Mr. Ronen fails to distinguish legal authorities and the law
tf ,   herzliya il   (12.20.11)
The problem isn't the laws the laws it is a problem of those charged to enforce them equally.
6. Let the right wing ranting begin
Avramele   (12.20.11)
Even as late as a year ago comments to an article such as this would deny it's premise and extoll the justice and equality of the Israeli system. But no more: now we see responses that openly justify the disempowerment of woman, Arabs, and reform and secular Jews; that call for expulsions of leftists and celebrate the assertion that a Jewish state cannot be a democratic state. Israeli neo- fascism has come out of it's cellar. The author is applauded for fighting back.
7. Gush Katif was STOLEN. Amona was STOLEN in the most BRUTAL
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.20.11)
way. Always is it is the already built homes of the JEWS which are being STOLEN and if the finger of an IDF solider is now scratched, the government is shocked, shocked I say that such an earth shattering event could be contemplated. A corrupt left wing not-supreme court acting with a corrupt left wing "defense" minister sends patriotic IDF soldiers to STEAL Jewish homes from JEWS and the government expects the settlers who love Hashem and the land of Israel to sit there with their prayer books open and pray that it won't happen? Hashem expects them to defend the land HE gave them over 3000 years ago.
8. and the leftwingers and anarchists
Danny   (12.20.11)
that chuck rocks at soldiers every week?
9. Israel is a Jewish homeland
Yoni the JEW ,   Jewish Homeland   (12.20.11)
Of course our laws favor Jews. This country belongs to the Jewish people and we have rights over our property. If anyone thinks that my property will not be protected for my family they are completely mistaken. There is nothing wrong with standing up for what is yours and helping your family and kin before helping anyone else. All of those who do not support favoring Jews in the Jewish homeland are just self hating Jews who dont want to stand up for what is rightfully theirs.
10. what about leftists?
srulik ,   netanya   (12.20.11)
What about leftist anarchist who have have for years been hurting soldiers and paying arabs to throw rocks at them! Suddenly there is one incident where after a fight between 50 settlers and who knows how many soldiers, the only person hurt is the most senior officer who had been sitting inside a nearby car! That must have been some fight. Maybe the 50 attackers were attacking the soldiers with rocks covered in padding or foam balls. What a load of bull.
11. It's about time...
Gregg ,   Haifa, IL   (12.20.11)
the whole world has been crying out about it for a while now.... Equality in front of the Law for ALL !!!
12. How many Jewish murderers are released b4 finish sentence?
tf ,   herzliya il   (12.20.11)
13. And what about the left wing spying
joe sombrero ,   usa   (12.20.11)
What about the left wing violence and spying for foreign countrys that is cinstantly ignored.
14. One of the little publicized facts which
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (12.20.11)
all members of the Yishuveem are aware of is the number of vehicles stolen by Arabs and then removed to east of the Green Line. The checkpoint soldiers are aware of the masses of stolen vehicles but nothing is ever done because they (the IDF and border police) already have their handsful dealing with other matters including the destruction of Jewish homes.
15. When an IDF soldier loses an eye due to leftist rioters?
Chaim ,   Israel   (12.20.11)
The author of this column is not dealing with reality. In the first place, rightist violence, especially against he authorities, is exceedingly rare. In contrast to regular leftist riots at Bilim and elsewhere. Whereas leftists favor freeing thousands of Arab murderers; they want Jews, often guilty of little more besides spraying graffitti, to be severely punished. And what about when an IDF soldier loses an eye due to leftist rioters? Shamefully, leftist and anarchist rioters are still given the velvet glove treatment.
16. LAWS FAVOR jEWS
BEAR ,   ZEFAT, ISRAEL   (12.20.11)
wHO SHOULD THE LAWS FAVOR? gOYIM? tHIS is a Jewish cointry,a nd the sad truth is that the laws favor the goyim... If you are so worried aboutthem, go live with them.
17. Conversely Israel's neighbours
Erudite ,   Australia   (12.20.11)
favour Muslims.
18. And our courts favour the Arabs.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.20.11)
19. To N 16, Bear.
Luiz F Haddad ,   Niteroi, Brazil   (12.20.11)
My brother, you are completely wrong. Me and many other Democrats, Christians and Humanists, around the world, do love and endorse Israel. Your country was created in 1947 into good ideals. Your people had suffered exactly because of discriminations and prejudices, since Middle Age until Hitler's Nazist Germany. In fact, Israel is a Jewish State, but She cannot be a exclusive Jewish State. It is a sacred duty to protect ethnical and religious minorities. Think more about it. God Unique bless you and your family.
20. HAPPY CHANUKAH!
Israeli 2   (12.21.11)
21. equal justice to jews and arabs
ODELEYA ,   NY USA   (12.21.11)
IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT MR. RONEN AND THE LEFTIST SELF HATING JEWS BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THAT G-D GAVE THE LAND OF ISRAEL TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE ! THE JEWS DO NOT EDUCATE THEIR KIDS TO KILL ARABS,OR HAVE SUICIDE MISSIONS IN THE NAME OF ALA.IT IS THE ARABS THAT PAUSE DANGER TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE WITH THEIR HATEFUL MESSAGES OF DEATH TO ISRAEL ...FOR YOU THE SELF HATING JEWS START TO OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE THE HATE THEY HAVE FOR OUR JEWISH PEOPLE!LETS REMEMBER THE GAZA EXPULSION AND ALL THE MISSILES AND THE VICTOMS OF TERROR ?THE FOGEL MASSACRE
22. #19 luiz
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.21.11)
One problem is that people who want to kill Jews and try to do so, often hide among those that don't. Or they are diguised as those that don't. It is not as cut and dried as you may think. Remember; Christians are leaving [escaping] arab countries and coming to Israel to escape persecution. It is only when Israel is control of the Temple Mount that everyone can enter it.
23. #7 bunnie
solomon ,   bklyn   (12.21.11)
The Law of the Land is the Law. Also; your revisionist English is extreme. And thank you for letting us know exactly what HaShem wants.
24. I never intended to create Heaven on Earth, when I came
tom ,   tel aviv   (12.21.11)
here. It's not perfect, but someone that expects "Equall Rights" for the Enemy in a country in perpetual fight for it's life is devoid of some vital parts, that make up "Common Sense"! Heaven on Earth shall be created (so I hear) by the Unseen Daddy in the Skies and I wish you luck with that. In the meantime: let's fight!
25. Leave the country
Ed Codish ,   Pardessiya, Israel   (12.21.11)
It is terrible to read comments justifying, perhaps demanding, discrimination against Arabs. Even worse are comments such as Michael Pilet's suggestion that Moshe [Ronen] move to an Arab country. I assume Michael means all who think as Moshe Ronen thinks. Who would be left? Not the university faculties, not the artists and writers, not the brilliant scientific and technical staffs of Israeli high tech companies. Indeed, many quite ordinary decent people would also have to leave. Those of you are left can gather on hilltops in Samaria to mutter congratulations to each other and throw stones at Arabs. You certainly won't be able to manage a modern state. Ed Codish

Lior ,   Talpiot   (12.21.11)
The laws cannot be equal. This is a Jewish state for the Jewish people. We have nowhere else. You want us to extend the Law Of Return so that Arabs or anyone can come here and shift our demogrpahic balance? If Arabs are unhappy here they can go to any one of the 21 other Arab states. I only have one.

Chimo ,   Las Vegas NV   (12.22.11)
This is one time that I think your going a bit too far. Same with those who are saying that Israel is for Jews alone and everyone else be damned. I love and support Israel, but I don't want to see Jews discriminating against other races or religions just because Israel is a Jewish Country. That's not who the jewa are, absolutely we should protect one another, but let's not emulate what other racist people have done to our people over the years and centuries. We're better than that. Happy Chanukkah
