31. Man bites dog!
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
Looks like the Jews are copying the pals tactics... payback's a bitch.
32. brawl?
(08.17.12)
33. How odd..
William ,   Chicago   (08.17.12)
That a racist mob attack on three people can be described as a "clash" as though we're discussing two evenly matched groups.
34. Lynching isn't the right word
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
lynching would mean that someone was hung by the neck until dead, without any trial, judge or jury. You know, like Tehran Sq. being decorated with bodies on the end of a rope. That's a lynching.

Oh yes, we have our on "hooligans in the US... Try obama and his 'justice' department for one... ( obama and justice in the same sentence is an oxymoron.)
36. brawl?
observer ,   Egypt   (08.17.12)
do you call Dozens of Jewish youths lynching three young Palestinians brawl?
37. # 12 Frank New to English?
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
the pals weren't lynched or, they'd be hanging from the end of ropes like they do in Tehran Sq.... Reserve your judgment for the conclusion, you may be as bad predicting as you are with English.
38. Sounds like a bunch of "at risk" young punks
AlexB ,   Toronto, Canada   (08.17.12)
Maybe "Beytar Yerushalaim" fans. But you know what, this is likely the first event of its kind, which is why this is a big deal. The Arabs do this so often to Jews that it doesn't even make the news.
39. # 13 Jordan, Toronto
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
When did any anti semitic schmuck need any 'justification' to murder Jews?? Did Hitler? Although I detest violence, this although infrequent attack, might do the reverse, it might just make the point that Israeli Jews are sick to death of being sick to death of pal terror and are now becoming as mean as the pals, thanks to the pals endless insanity. I can't judge what happened for I wasn't there but, some would hand out medals to those who showed the pals what revenge feels like... That's exactly what the pals do for their terrorists, give them awards, money, medals?? Or a place in the Jihadist's 'martyr' museum.
40. # 17 Yaakov Sarah B said to ask you
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
that you had the list, and the wisdom, LOL. ( when pigs fly )
41. # 23 Glen we aren't fighter a regular army.
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (08.17.12)
"So what if some extremist Arabs attack Jews" This is that 'so what' answer. Jews are only human too and not angels.... Those pals should be thrilled that they have their lives, the Fogel family doesn't, including their infant whose throat was slit in his sleep. Pathetic as the attackers??If that's your opinion, you need some professional help. Would you tisk tisk if your daughter were being raped by pals? Grow a pair. We aren't any different than any other people who have been so treated by terrorist pals.
42. Jewish terror creat Arab terror
Yousef ,   Palestine , Hebron   (08.18.12)
43. The flower of Netanyahuism
Dan   (08.18.12)
When leaders choose not to punish settlers who attack Arabs, young idiots take note and feel encouraged to act out their violent racism. The seeds of this crime were planted by Sharon and carefully watered by Bibi.

Robert ,   Australia   (08.18.12)
Being a resident of the USA with an evident blind spot as to the lynching of African Americans and to the fact that the US has caused more deaths world-wide than any other entity, you are not qualified to judge anyone.
45. #22
jb ,   Canada   (08.18.12)
Yes indeed!! Why question Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Afganistan, Pakistan, Gaza, all built on the blood of others...take your pick, retardo!!
46. Meet the new State of Israel
Eric ,   USA   (08.18.12)
Israel has quickly-become a fascist Jewish state. All these reports of racist attacks by Jews against migrants and Arabs--and it will only get worse. Racial attacks by Jews against the non-Jewish minority was unheardof in Israel just 10 years ago. Now they are a weekly occurrence.
47. yeah right
jack bauer   (08.18.12)
i dont believe one word of it
48. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.18.12)
My wisdom is wasted on the likes of you.
49. @ courtney #1
CMav ,   Brookline USA   (08.18.12)
"If I keep reading stories like this" - WHEN do you ever read stories like this? Usually it's the Arabs lynching Israelis, usually with deadly effect, and nobody cares when that happens, least of all the Israeli police.
50. Play the war drums louder and louder until riots break out
Steven Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (08.18.12)
...between Arab and Jews everywhere. Israel will eventually be forced to accept democracy in all of Palestine, and the Jews find out that peace is much easier than perpetual war.
51. Sad to Read This Report
elizabethlynne ,   Dallas, Texas!   (08.18.12)
As a Jewish woman, I condemn the unprovoked attack on any Arab person. There is NO justification for it. It is up to the parents and the educational system in Israel to promote the right behavior. The conflict between Palestinians and Jews is regrettable in every respect, and this is an example of what comes from such a long-standing conflict. I'm sorry to hear that any Arab person was hurt in this attack, and I beg all my fellow Jews to think about the right way to behave and to treat others. This should not be the Jewish way. Arab Israelis and any Arab or any person should be able to walk the streets in Israel without fear. Those who carried out this attack, if it was Jewish youths, must be held responsible.
52. Imprison the attackers
Chaim Ben Kahan ,   Efrat, Israel   (08.18.12)
This behavior is disgusting. Jews are acting like our enemies and this is not acceptable. These thugs must be caught and given severe sentences.
53. These Jewish kids sould be
David ,   USA   (08.18.12)
Arrested and gathered up by the Israeli police and put in jail if this is true what happen. Jew or not these kids are bad apples and must be sent to jail
54. Different approaches to violent crime
HZ ,   U   (08.18.12)
Not to minimize the seriousness of this attack, it's important to remember and to publicize, that the Israeli reaction to this is to apprehend and prosecute the perpetrators. Contrast this to "our partners in peace" who, in a similar situation, would name a town square, a pre-school and a brigade of murderers after their new heroes.
55. 31, you're so right.
AK!   (08.18.12)
Man bites dog story, was my first reaction, as well.
56. #37: My english is defenitely bad, I know
Frank ,   Zürich, Switzerland   (08.18.12)
At least I am not infected with the believe that there is people who want to read 10 talkbacks of one and the same person in one article. You must have had physical contact with sarah b. since you are undoubtly infected with that believe.
57. #56 Do not concern yourself.....
Robert ,   Australia   (08.18.12)
.....about morons finding fault with your English. Those who criticise your written English are also prone to make grammatical errors as demonstrated in post # 41. Small minded dolts who are probably not multi-lingual like you should keep their traps well and truly shut.
58. Unusual??
Mike ,   Auckland New Zealand   (08.18.12)
Those who think Israeli attacks on Arabs are rare are not well informed.
59. happens all the time
mark ,   jerusalem   (08.18.12)
i grew up in that area and this sort of thing against arabs happens quite often in that area. especially against the arabs that work at the restaurants as cooks and are returning home late. this kind of violence makes us not better than them. my friends and i actuallly rescued an arab about a year ago from one of these groups of dodem that were attacking an arab cook near zion square. lucky for him my friends and i are of american back ground and our body sizes were a lot larger than the israeli fellows persuing that young man. the other thing i dont know is there is always border police stationed at zion square 24 hours a day why didnt they do anything to stop it ???
60. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.18.12)
I think the survivors of World War II and the tiny remnant of Aborigines in Australia might be better equipped than you to judge anyone.
