61. jellyfish secular are cowards
heshy friedman ,   brooklyn ny usa   (04.16.12)
When the secular anti chareidi idf leadership hurts settlers or chareidim its olk. But when hitting anti semites they all become cowards and run like mice that they are. Can't wait till chareidim take over.
62. Instead they should name a street after him.
Salim ,   Canada   (04.16.12)
63. If the Person was A settler
Joe Sombrero ,   USA   (04.16.12)
If the person had been a settler the silence would have been deafening. Bibi Gantz Peres Barak protecting thier own at the orders of their bosses and paymasters the US goverment. That is my opinion.
64. The action appears to have stopped the confrontation, with
Rivkah   (04.16.12)
protestors backing off.
65. Col Eisner
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros   (04.16.12)
According to his version which I believe, he acted appropiately and showed great restraint. A brave officer. I hope that the israeli people will be behind him and that he will be restored to his command. He should be promoted to General.
66. Israel did not come to them, they came to Israel.
leo ,   usa   (04.16.12)
Now all bets should off. Mr. Natanyahu, do not turn away from your people, protect them.
67. Bibi kicks settlers out of homes & suspends IDF Officer ?
Reuv Janes ,   Hamilton, Canada   (04.16.12)
Wake up Bibi ! You are behaving like Ehud Barak's girlfriend. You weren't elected for this, you are an embarassment to Zionism. Your Ministers are correct, can't you see that ? Fire Barak and go to the Kotel and ask G-d for forgiveness. Baruch HaShem !
68. Promote him
dave ,   safet israel - phila   (04.16.12)
Bibi is an ass licker
69. suspended ?! He did the RIGHT job against terrorists !
(04.16.12)
70. Netanyahou must suspend the suspension !
(04.16.12)
71. We support you Lt. Col. Shalom Eisner !!!
real Zionist   (04.16.12)
72. GANTZ = PATHETIC COWARD WHO DON' T SUPPORT SOLDIERS
(04.16.12)
73. Obviously Netanyahu expect saintly self-control from IDF!?
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.16.12)
It wasn't a PR-victory for sure, but something must have been just too much for that soldier who in spite of the surrounding cameras did that. Nobody is that stupid, really! Most of us would've probably done the same... Of course sitting on my touches in front of a computer it's easy to be righteous. Yes the PM is a bit of a ..turd (from time to time).
74. So far, no mention of this in the Danish press...
tom ,   tel aviv   (04.16.12)
But once this jerk returns home, someone (sure as hell) will try and turn him into a new Rachel Corey....
75. BIBI: You suck! Now I know: U R NO DIFFERENT
Israeli 2   (04.16.12)
76. I THINK : THE IDF SOLDIER IS A HERO !!!
GOOD SOLDIER ,   EU   (04.16.12)
77. these guys didn't come to make peace
zhenja ,   IL   (04.16.12)
they came to provoke! The reaction of Netanyahu is overheated - there is a need of selfrespect in this ignorant, ugly and anti-jewish world
78. NETANYAHU IS A PURE PHONY
DA URBAN POET ,   SAFED OPERA HOUSE   (04.16.12)
Everything about him is fake ,including his stupid american accent. How dare he persecute israeli officers ?. Let's throw him out like the bum he is.
79. GOG
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (04.16.12)
Goy Occupied Government. No more comments. Israel is not a Jewish state.
80. Manipulated images
Israeli grandma   (04.16.12)
More from Pallywood, but this time Netanyahu should have spoken up for our men who endure provocation from these ISM louts, who have no legit business to be in our region. They pick on Israel from a twisted sense of values, but have no time for real human rights abuses in Syria and Egypt and these are just two local examples. DID ANYONE NOTICE IN THIS CAREFULLY EDITED VIDEO THAT THE BRAVE OFFICER IS LATER SEEN WITH A BANDAGED HAND?
81. Here is why Ynet is censoring
XY   (04.16.12)
Ynet publishes disgusting incitement from antisemites from abroad on these threads, and for 2 times it callously rejected my comment in which I praised Col. Eisner for his mild reaction to the actively terror-supporting Danish ISM troublemaker. It's also not allowed here to say that the provocateur was a Danish antisemite. Others can freely spew their Israel-bashing venom. This is why I say this censorship mode is totally uncalled for and unaccceptable and ultimately disgusting. (3rd try!)
82. Video cameras issued to every IDF soldier as required
Hippocrates ,   Earth   (04.16.12)
weapon, just the lying sacks of anarchist ignoramuses who have no clue about the Jewish history here or dont care about it or the arab death cult that has called for jewish genoicde even before they sided with hitler in world war 2. TRUTH
83. those idiots knew what they were getting into.
dave ,   denmark   (04.16.12)
those idiots knew what they were getting into. u dont start up w soldiers. this is israel, if u want to play tag go back home!!! kol hakavod to those soldiers, they have to tolerate so many dufaces. shame we dont have a video of our own to show what actually happened
84. Disgusting protesters support Palestinian terrorists
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (04.16.12)
When is the last time anybody ever saw a Palestinian official removed from their position for attacking Israelis? When has a Palestinian ever been charged with war crimes? There have been thousands of brutal, vicious, disgustingly inhumane attacks by Palestinians on innocent Israeli civilians - in fact dozens of foreign nationals have been murdered and wounded by Palestinians as well. Yet these alleged protesters never say boo? Why are human rights organizations still silent in the face of Palestinian aggression? These are not protesters or "human rights" activists. They are mercenaries in the Palestinian war against us and should be treated as such.
85. Officer acted with degree of force required of situation
Harvey ,   London   (04.16.12)
I come across these hate filled zealots most weeks and understand only too well what they are capable of and their methods . The statement they put out in advance that they are a peaceful organization and only wanted to be allowed to meet up with their 'friends' on the West Bank is an absolute lie . Except for a few elderly women , the majority comprise of the far left together with anarchists who are intent on provoking a fight . Our small group of Israel activists were present at a counter demo outside the Israel embassy on the 30.TH March . Ranged against us were 30O or so foam at the mouth lefties and Islamists . Without the police they would have torn us apart . The IDF officer should be awarded a citation for restraint .
86. Well, the officer reached his limit obviously
Cameron ,   USA   (04.16.12)
Patience and restraint snapped for a moment. We've all had moments of zero tolerance for games & nonsense when the situation gets heavy. The activists went looking for confrontation and drama, and they got served a taste. Could have been infinitely worse.
87. Provocoteurs deserve a beating, they must stay out of Israel
bernard ross   (04.16.12)
If they get more beatings perhaps the will not come back The press will be negative any way so give them what they want and let them know that if they return they will get double. These enemies of Israel deserve far worse.
88. Activist
Emanuel ,   USA   (04.16.12)
Ynet, hes is not an activist he is a TERRORIST!
89. My IDF The Hero
Meyer Keslacy ,   Michigan, USA   (04.16.12)
Shame On You Prime Minister And The Entire Israeli Leadership For Punishing The IDF Hero Who Is Doing His JOB!!!!! Why Put Him In That Position And Punish Him.SHAME SHAME On You.
90. The guy gets shafted for doing his job
Darren Ledger ,   San Diego US   (04.16.12)
This Israeli officer was only doing his job in very difficult circumstances,and he did a great job,instead he gets shafted by the very same people who sent him to do the job in the first place. As an Ex US Marine I stand up and salute him........Have the Israeli's lost their balls.........
