1. 101 on education
Oudi ,   Kiryat Bialik   (02.21.12)
Action speaks louder than words. I learned more from my father's actions than his words. This is my point. The palestinian kids observe the adult behavior. by throwing stones, and war mongering the new generation learn that if it is ok for the adults to act like that, it is OK for me. Is that an example of bad education? I think so. That is the same education that send a message to the youth to solve issues with violence. Basically, keeping it simple, if I do not agree with you I should hit you. This is the type of primitive education that will destroy our planet. Oudi
2. Provocation
A Jerusalemite ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (02.21.12)
This is an act of provocation, pure and simple. So why weren't some of the settler demonstrators and rock throwers arrested too???? "What is different this time is the distribution of ads in the media calling for the site to be 'cleansed of Israel's enemies.'"
3. Rioters....
Ehud ,   Tel Aviv   (02.21.12)
"The riots are a response to calls by right-wing activists to expand access to the Temple Mount. " Of course. The riots are always in "response" to Jewish chutzpah - like demanding free access to their holy places. Let's try restricting access to Moslem holy places - or Christian ones for that matter - and see if the ensuing riots are just "noted" - as in your headline or if the world demands our heads!
4. all under heaven
Oudi ,   kiryat bialik   (02.21.12)
All under the skies must realize this, Provocation, no provocation as writer #2 suggested, by no means all acts of violence are wrong no matter who is the assailant. As a martial artist who studies martial arts for many years here are the 2 ITEMS that are MISSING from this militant violent demosntrations: Courtesy- behavior that demonstrates consideration, cooperation, and generosity 2.Self-Control exercising restraint over one's impulses, self-discipline
5. Resounding Israeli victory is only path to peace.
Chaim ,   Israel   (02.21.12)
Thanks heavens the WW II Allies had more sense than to engage in a "peace process" with the Nazis. The Allies knew that only resounding victory over the Nazis would bring peace. The same is true for Israel today. The true path to peace is for Israel to stop pretending we're willing to cede our ancestral 3,500 year old heartland and annex it. Defend Judea/Samaria. Love Judea/Samaria. It is ours!
6. JUDEA AND SAMARIA.
DANNY TAWIL ,   ENGLAND   (02.21.12)
JUDEA AND SAMARIA SINCE WHEN DID IT BELONG TO THE PALESTINIANS OR THE ARABS, IT IS OURS FULL STOP END OF STORY.
7. Samaria and Judea-Response to #6
Oudi ,   Kiryat Bialik   (02.21.12)
To correct some historical inaacuarcies. The name "Samaria" (Somron)derives from an ancient city of the same name, which was located near the south of Samaria, and was the capital of the Kingdom of Israel. The Samarithans inhibited the area after the Israelites Assyrian exile. Means that the jews were there FIRST prior to the exile. Second, the Samarithans who came after the Israelites were kicked out of Samaria (Shomron), are genetically related to the jews of the times (see Shen et al., 2004). In regard to writer of comment #6, Judea, By the Early Iron Age, around 1020 BCE, came to be ruled by the Kingdom of Israel. Now these are the facts, not just random commentaries that are meaningless. Oudi
