1. Religion bringing out the best in people
Haim ,   TA   (07.24.12)
2. Disgusting behaviour
Israeli grandma   (07.24.12)
The Machpelah Cave is part of the Jewish birthright, but this does not justify in any way the destruction of Muslim religious artifacts. These girls have a serious educational disorder and should be traced and punished for their wrongdoing. In any case these stupid girls are young and ignorant, but a certain MK tearing up the Xstian bible in the Knesset last week was also an example of embarassingly bad behaviour. by an adult. I too believe that the Koran and the Gospels are a lot of rubbish, but would never destroy articles which other people venerate.
3. what law was broken?
ranjan ,   la   (07.24.12)
If police wants to find these two girls and prosecute them for ripping quran then they must prosecute MK Ben Ari for ripping apart christian New Testament. Police in Yisrael should not have this kind of power over citizen's.
4. The founder of the book, Muhammad, executed 900 Jews
Yaniv ,   Israel   (07.24.12)
Let's call it even, shall we, as Muhammad personally beheaded 900 Jewish boys and men in the market place in Medina. They were first all offered to be set free if they would revert to Islam, which they all refused. So much for the Islamic tolerance and promise to grant Jews and Christians the right to stick to their faiths. Muhammad even broke this rule, when he decided to spend a whole day butchering, rather than prophesying.
5. How we know these were Jews? Did they have big noses?
David ,   Haifa Israel   (07.24.12)
serious.. left wing media which is loved by Haim from Tel Aviv reportng HALF facts
6. Let there be not one word of dissent
Sarah B (No not her)   (07.24.12)
when a Torah gets burnt in retaliation. If we live by the sword then we deserve to die by the sword
7. I wonder who's crazier, the settlers or the Palestinians
Josh ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (07.24.12)
Maybe there's just something in the water there that kills any shards of moderation and common sense in people. It's like anyone who goes there comes back a radical nutjob.
8. They always find the Palestinian boy who threw a stone, but
Simo ,   Helsinki   (07.24.12)
But not those who burn Mosques, tear holy books, paint "burn and kill Arabs" texts, uproot olive trees, kill donkeys, poison wells etc. Strange police and strange army in a racist religious country..
9. They should be punished for vandalism. Nothing else
Northern   (07.24.12)
While I personally do not support tearing up religious books or any books for that matter, I don't think blasphemy should be a crime. I don't think the state should punish people just for insulting a religion in this way or another. However, if this story is true, then the girls should be caught by the police and punished for vandalism. You don't get to take somebody else' property and destroy it.
10. This article is out of place. When the girls appear and a
(07.24.12)
hearing by a judge is started then YNET can publish it. To do it now is to stirr thing more than they already are with the Palestinians. It gives them the necessary arguments not to bash the two Girls but Israel. Journalist will do anything to get t5heir garbage published even at the cost of State Security
11. The koran plagiarizes the Torah
progressoverpeace ,   Philadelphia, USA   (07.24.12)
and perverts and twists the stories it plagiarizes. As if that isn't enough, then mohammed says that the Jews are liars because the his demented plagiarized versions are at odds with the ORIGINALS, therefore Jews are all liars to be killed. That is the koran. How can one "desecrate" such a ridiculous and hateful text that was constructed in such a deceitful and disgusting way? Enough with the PC idiocy, already.
12. Iran
Obsessive ,   Turkey   (07.24.12)
I can't blame all Jews. Unfortunately Israel will be pulled into ME marsh with the help of Arab primitiveness and Iranian limitless lunacy. ( I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig. you get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it ) I'm all with Jewish visitors at holy sites. This is not against or wrong according to Islam and this totally human-invented act creates hatred and jelousy. I dont have problem with Judaism, Jews or Israel. Never ever. Oneday Israel will be Iran definitely. Until this dark day I will never judge Israel. I will always continue supporting secular Jews until the Olam Haba. Live prosper my dear secular friends. Only Almighty One! Peace
13. books? what books?

14. abraham destroyed the idols
JEW of Israel   (07.24.12)

15. Why is this news? This happened 4 months ago.
Neil B. ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (07.24.12)
16. The police should work against illegals not against 2 girls

17. So what ? Who cares ?

zionist   (07.24.12)
let's see you give up your home in tel aviv for the ahrabs. they want to settle every place they can get their bloody hands on!
19. another leftist article of lies!

20. @ lucky 7 josh
(07.24.12)
soon tel aviv will be taken by the ahrab settlets so enjoy your time there while you still can.
21. Muslims constantly vandalise Jewish holy items at the Cave..
Ari   (07.24.12)
...and yet we only hear about this incident involving the tearing of a Quran. Typical...
22. @simo
nva ,   jerusalem   (07.24.12)
1) Since you live in Helsinki you know nothing about what happens here. 2) What you stated is exactly the opposite of the reality here.. Arabs seldom get caught, found or punished for their acts against Jews. It is not politically correct. 3) 98% of the "acts" that are attributed to the Jewish "settlers" are in fact committed by imposters, either Arabs or left wingers posing as settlers or photoshopped pictures, or just phoney false articles. Yes, there are a few Jews who do some taunting and innappropriate things to the Arabs. About 2%. 4) Arent' there problems in Helsinki you could become interested in?
23. The crime is destruction of public/private property. ...
deavman ,   Acco, Israel   (07.24.12)
...and nothing else, they should have purchased their own damn books and torn them. That would be freedom of speech.But of course we'd still have to deal with "offences" against the cry-baby Muslim sensitivities.
24. #4: The Book of Esther
Zeev, Haifa   (07.24.12)
According to the Book of Esther, the Jews killed more than 75,000 Persians...
25. #4 - then what will you say for MK Ben Ari
kuhl blitz ,   Doha/ chennai   (07.24.12)
You justified saying that Muhamad killed jews, so it is ok to rip the book. But, if you take christianity, Jews killed Jesus and now Ben Ari ripped their book. So, where is the justification here? No matter what, old and religious artefacts are to be preserved. Otherwise, there won't be any difference between Taliban tearing down 2000 year old buddha statue and jews tearing religious books
26. No.8 - get a sense of proportion
keren ,   tzafon israel   (07.24.12)
Stones kill. Look up stories of deaths in case of stones hurled by Palestinian "boys" at passing cars. What those girls did is abhorent, whomever they are. However, you cannot compare the two crimes.
27. Unforgiveable! Do security cameras identify religion?100% ?
PETER SM ,   MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA   (07.24.12)
28.  # 25 The Jews & Jesus
Christian ,   Sweden   (07.24.12)
Just for the record: The Jews didn't kill Jesus. He died on a Roman cross as many other Jews did. Admittedly the Romans had some help from Jewish collaborators, but no, the Jews didn't kill Jesus.
29. YNET ON THE BANDWAGON FOR JIHAD
Netanya ,   Netanya   (07.24.12)
Why is this article printed here? Why is this even made public? Are there not enough made up stories against Israel daily, so YNet has to add fuel to the fire. I hope that the media one day is made responsible for their posts and consequences which come out of them. When a koran was burned (threatened to be burned) in USA, embassies were burned and there was chaos worldwide, including death threats and more. STOP with the left pandering, it is just damaging and can only end in disaster!
30. Ripping a book is not a crime in the civilized world.
