61. Why define them as soldiers...
Steven ,   London   (02.26.12)
When the vast majority of Israeli's serve in the Army.
62. #58 And that makes it better, I guess! You stink, punk!
(02.26.12)
63. to 58
Jennie ,   Israel/US   (02.26.12)
If you would care to notice, there is the word "nearly" in front of the word "lynched", which makes it the appropriate word to use for the above factual matter, Devrod..Who knows what would those "nice" people do to the Israeli boys, if they would have their way...
64. 10 to 1
Lenya ,   Australia   (02.26.12)
The fight of 10 to 1 is a bit too much for the two IDF men. Maybe 5 to 1 would have been more fair. The IDF are trained in self-defense to kick the butts of at least 3 assailants, I'm just deducing that 1 Israeli IDF is better than 5 Arab terrorists. The best Israeli IDF there ever was... was Samson who slew 2000 assailants (Philistines) in one fight.

Have you at least bothered to read the article? I' ll quote Haifa Police Commander's words: "The Haifa Police Commander, Moshe Cohen, said "the incident started as a brawl, apparently based on nationalistic motives…" "NATIONALISTIC MOTIVES" should be easy enough to understand even to you, and yet you come here and pontificate...
66. Luckily Islam is a Religion of Peace - lol
Rich ,   L.A., USA   (02.26.12)
Imagince what they might do if they weren't so 'peaceful'. Luckily the soldiers weren't female, it likely would have been much worse.
67. Lynching of our soldiers !?
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (02.26.12)
From now on every soldier even in civilian clothing should be equipped by a gun that he can use for self DEFENCE and not prosecuted if he kills the assaillant ! In other countries the law is always in favor of the soldier who will sacrifice his life for defending his country ! Otherwise many lynching cases will occur even for the civil population ! It is time to adopt the COWBOY law of SELF DEFENCE !
68. An efficient LAW against LYNCHING !
Mark ,   T.a.Israel   (02.26.12)
Once the assailants are identified by the victims their HOME should be ERAZED from the earth ! Another LAW should be passed that if during the lynching a stone a knife a screwdriver or any harmful object is used the attacker will receive the maximum sentence of incarceration all the mentioned objects above being harmful to the health of the victim !
69. attack on Israeli soldiers in civilian clothes
Marsha ,   New York, USA   (02.26.12)
This was very disturbing to read. I hope that these attackers face the full severity of the law. I don't see things like this reported in the mainstream media in the US. It does seem that the news is slanted against Israel in many instances. I certainly hope these soldiers make a complete recovery.
70. weak laws put all potential victims in serious danger
yael dvorah ,   north miami beach   (02.26.12)
why couldn't the guards shoot those thugs? did they have guns? permission has to be granted for civilians in Israel to shoot aggressive attackers ... regardless of who they are. the laws in Israel are so liberal and lax that people cannot defend themselves or others in the face of extreme violence .... people need to be armed somehow ..... these arabs are taking advantage of weak laws that don't protect victims ....
71. strip them of their citizenship
rogerlen ,   usa/israel   (02.26.12)
and send them to deport them. and all this for being a jew. in a land where you CAN be a jew amongst fellow jews, no matter what their jewish nationality. we need better laws that would make a person think twice before doing this ever again.
72. WHY ARE WE SURPRISED?
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (02.26.12)
They kill each other on a football field at a game. This should be so normal for them.
73. #65 Franco
Gary Spedding ,   Belfast, UK   (02.26.12)
Yes I read the article thoroughly, it would seem you prefer to read into things too much... Nationalistic motives... yet there was no mention of this being motivated by the Israel - Palestine conflict. In fact I would say that this looks more to be an attempt to simply "Blame the Arabs" in a poor attempt at propaganda and inciting hate towards Arabs.
74. Disgusting
Adam Neira ,   Paris, France   (02.27.12)
This is a terrible attack. Prayers for the injured and may the perpetrators be found and punished.
75. #1 They are so brave with or without
ltrail ,   USA   (04.27.12)
Your comment is puzzling. It took a gang of thugs to beat them up. I'd bet that one-on-one you will find how how brave the soldiers are. Those thugs are growing up in a wrong way. It may be that they'll have an extremely short life.
76. #48 Poor Ynet Article
ltrail ,   USA   (04.27.12)
Your comment is a large pile of crap. It certainly was an anti-Jew attack by a bunch of thug arabs. You want to distort and re-make the event to cloud the fact that it was muslims against Jews.
77. r u brave
sushan ,   Butwal, Nepal   (11.12.12)
when bunch of terrorists attack u with clubs and rocks
