1. A pogrom? How many killed?Tibi if you want to see what
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.25.12)
Pogroms means look at what your brothers did in Hebron. Having said that this behaviour is totally unacceptable.
2. Many Beitar Fans are Sick People
Nachliel ,   Gush Etzion   (03.25.12)
I live in Gush Etzion among our Arab neighboring villages.Not exactly leftis!But I respect the Arab people & have no hate at all for them or their religion & culture.Many wild Beitar fans through the years have been racist against Arabs or even Jewish groups.Why do we expect the world not to riot against Jews when we have these sick,instable ruffians?I condem them.
3. Tibi - the pot calling the kettle black.
rebecca ,   Modiin   (03.25.12)
I dont approve of the soccer riot, but Tibi really should shut up.
4. # 3
Observer   (03.25.12)
...and so should you.
5. I hope Beitar beats Maccabi Petach Tikva tonight.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (03.25.12)
6. @3 take ur own advise, stand down & be silent!
(03.25.12)
7. 'jewish soccer hooligans'
roxanne ,   haifa/sfo   (03.25.12)
let me relish in that combination of words before you take it away. ahhh! so refreshing!
8. Tibi - anything to say about the POGROM in Tulouse?
(03.25.12)
Or do you also feel "endless pleasure" when Jews are butchered?
9. the fans should be punished for rioting...
r.J. ,   e.Y.   (03.25.12)
...but tibi should be HUNG FOR TREASON. tibi we haven't forgotten your speech after the pessah massacre, even if you have.
10. Have to agree with him
Carl ,   Israel   (03.25.12)
I generally can't stand Tibi, but in this case he is right. These Beitar fans are known animals who should be properly dealt with.
11. # 10
Orlando ,   Or Akiva, Israel   (03.25.12)
Agree with you but you should not insult animals. These crazy racist degenerates are far below animals.
12. Mostly some pumped-up fans dancing and jumping after thegame
(03.25.12)
I only heard the "mavet l'Aravim" twice from a smaller group in the crowd -- most did not join in. Doesn't make it acceptable that some shouted such a disgusting thing (I have personally spray-painted over such racist grafitti), but it certainly doesn't turn the entire bunch of kids into any "pogrom".
13. Shut this club down now Israel FA!
Dave ,   USA   (03.25.12)
14. Jewish rioting ?
Istvan ,   BUDAPEST HUNGARY   (03.25.12)
Never heard about it before. But really a good idea. If the arabs are rioting day and night since decades why not just a jewish rioting for instance to destroy illegal buildings in the Moria mount ?
15. @8 go to last year's Holocaust Day & read the Knesset record
Fair ,   Israel   (03.25.12)
there u will find what MK Tibi thinks of such events. Once you have read it come back with an answer to your own question.
16. KKK?
Rob ,   Orangevale, U.S.A.   (03.25.12)
If I call you a name, you can call me a name. If you come at me with a bat, I will lift a table and try to kill you with it. Standard operating procedure during sports riots.The reference to the KKK baffles me. These fools didn't show up burning a cross wearing weird white robes and hoods. They were Israeli soccer fans just trying to be like their Arab soccer bros. Shouting "Death to the Arabs" aint gonna hurt anybody. Chasing a man with a bat can have some very serious consequences. Have the police do their job and let the rioters cool their jets in jail. KKK? You all better hope THAT never happens. Shoot the very first one you see. I needn't describe the trouble they can cause. Shalom Israel, Rob
17. The KKK description is just silly
GZLives   (03.25.12)
That description is one that needs to be used for those who preach the Jews are descended from pigs and apes and the destiny of Muslims is to kill the Jews and one who preaches this happens to be the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem Muhammad Ahmad Hussein. That message of supremacy, racism, and murder is exactly the KKK so lets keep things in perspective
18. "pogram" typical arab term misuse and exaggeration
su ,   jerusalem   (03.25.12)
19. Tibi's pogrom #3
Yosef Y ,   USA   (03.25.12)
Rebecca, I would take a step further _ personally whip his a#% with the buckle of the belt- this would definitely stop him from Belting out" obscenely ignorant, gross violations to democratic freedom of speech.
20. Discusting cave man mentality from the ugly mob
Haim ,   ta   (03.26.12)
These people belong in the zoo with a big sign attached, "do not feed these animals are dangerous"
21. to tibi... a progrom is what your arab buddies tried to do
Daniel ,   TA, IL   (03.26.12)
the beitar bullie should sit in jail, but tibi's continous racism and incitement to violence is not less bad. He should sit in jail with them (the beitar scum).
22. This is not about Tibi
George ,   UK   (03.27.12)
This story is about authorities tolerating gangs committing GBH and deliberately terrorising vulnerable citizens. Nor should we accept the feeble 'they started it' excuse: Beitar fans went away and then came back in larger numbers with intent. In Western Europe, the club would have a match ban. Why not in Israel?
23. @5 done
Miron ,   USA   (03.27.12)
24. @22 match ban? Your prized players do this on pitch, daily.
Miron ,   USA   (03.27.12)
So, when did you ban Premier league? Did I miss the news? Ahh... Da Prince didn't know what was the uniform... I guess the Buckingham banned for the past what, 3 years. By the way, how is the pair on your back doing, need to trim any feathers? I heard there was a boutique shop in North London, some 890 years, vintage works.
