1. Anyone still wants to defend these thugs?

2. A sickening assault
Get Real ,   UK   (03.12.13)
Court must impose a severe sentence to act as strong deterrent to all others who would commit such attacks.
3. #1 Nobody is defending these thugs
Gabor ,   Budapest, Hungary   (03.12.13)
Hatred and terror against jews will result in hatred and racism among jews. The only way Israel can fight against this is by ensuring proper safety for her citizens. Jews and Arabs.
4. Waiting with low expectation, on jewish justice. What will
World Watch   (03.12.13)
it be ? Released because there is not enough evidence. Released because jews claim Usruf attacked them. Relased because of unusal circumstances (they we're drunk). Released because Usruf is an Arab. Released because the attackers are the "chosen" End result isreali justice will preveil.
5. motive was not NATIONALISTIC as suspects claim
split ,   US   (03.12.13)
A new term for blatant racism - Great job whoever implanted that hate and disdain to Goyim ,...

If you must know, the Israeli courts are far tougher on Jewish criminals than on Arabs. So take your crap and shove it -- or do you always assume facts not in evidence and then draw your own conclusions based on your own warped sense of justice? But if it is justice you are looking for, and you are a self-described "world watcher," your attention is much more warranted in other countries. Try Iran. Try Iraq. Try Syria. Try Lebanon. Try Egypt. Try China. Try Pakistan. Try Afghanistan. Try the Congo. Try Yemen. Try Somalia. Try the Sudan. Must I go on .... or do you get the point, oh dimwitted one?
8. Convicted Felon
yoni the Jew ,   Jewish Homeland   (03.12.13)
I have seen on other news sites that this arab is a convicted felon of thefts in the past. Of course this wouldnt be convenient for ynets agenda to publish...
9. No 8
Paul ,   Israel   (03.12.13)
So what. they wouldn't know, would they. Or is it ok to almost kill someone for theft or being an arab .. for a mobile phone. Whatever he did in the past is no argument for what happened. Violence is wrong, Racism is wrong. us Jews should know better and not go and act like what we despise so much ... think again mate
10. Prison for life they deserve
nibor ,   israel   (03.12.13)
11. With a jury there would be justice done.
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.12.13)
It will not be done by judges no matter what this confused American attorney commentator babbles here. The Israeli justice system is flawed without the use of jurors in trials. The American justice system on appeals is also flawed because there also are no jurors present in trials. Confused babbling attorneys look only out for themselves, not for justice in a legal system..

when levlel-headed israelis read your contentious note signed"palestine", we begin to feel hot under the collar.......and all sypathies are out the window.

(03.12.13)
as an israeli i say NO. NOT AT ALL! they deserve all the punishment for their cruelty and their barbarism. and while we are on the topic, did i hear any of you ever say anything about the fogel family murder by your people? an apology? a crying of shame? a criticism? none of it happened. none. it would have been nice for israeli arabs to participate as citizens in this fmaily's funeral and to voice strong condemnation as to this heinous murder of innocents.
14. #8 convicted felon
(03.12.13)
If the Arab was a convicted felon and involved In the thefts, then I hope he never steals again. If he was not involved in the thefts then I hope things work out for him and he suffers nothing permanent.

was the cutting of throats of three babies in the fogel family and the multiple stabbing of their parents while they were all asleep not racism???
16. woerld watch
aaron ,   toronto,canada   (03.12.13)
I suggest you go and find another arab country and tell them about their FAIR court system.(OH YOU CAN'T FIND ANY).If the police find that the boys break the law they will be punished by ISRAELI JUDITIARY NOT BY YOURS.I don't believe anything an arab says so I'll let the police investigate.

Are you sure about that? Does the name "Rodney King" mean anything to you? Were you living in California at the time? For that matter, were you living in California at the time of the O.J. Simpson criminal trial? How about the sham trial of the murderer of Yankel Rosenbaum in Crown Heights? The jurors took the defendant out to dinner following the rendering of the verdict. Don't discount juror nullification. The judge can always issue what's known as a directed verdict if he believes that the jury voted to convict a defendant contrary to the factual evidence. The judge does not have the right to reverse a jury that acquits a defendant. Juries are tricky things. I prefer bench trials myself, but the fly in the ointment there is that the fate of a defendant rests in the hands of one person. A three-judge panel works better. Of course, everything described above relates to State court trials. You'd need to amend the United States Constitution to change the federal court system -- where directed verdicts can also happen and where the judge has the right to nullify a plea agreement entered into by a defendant (as is exactly what happened to Jonathan Pollard). State court judges have to honor a plea agreement entered into between the prosecution and the defense; federal court judges do not.
18. # 11 Are you an attorney?
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.12.13)
I doubt it a loser perhaps but no attorney.
19. He can move...
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.12.13)
If he believes Israeli justice is not sufficient. Syria sound good?
20. # 15 HEAR HEAR !! BRAVO!!!!
BUILD BABY BUILD ,   United States   (03.12.13)
# 8 is a paid anti Israel anti semitic troll.
21. #18, Are you an adult w/o a pacifier. Can you spell a brick?
Michael ,   California, USA   (03.12.13)
Can you spell BABE? The way you write, I think you have slim stick above your shoulders but nothing upon the stick.
22. oded does

(03.13.13)
what you did in your response is called PROJECTION in psychiatry. i believe your post describes you in the full.
24. they should be charged with attempted murder
Haim ,   TA   (03.13.13)
These thugs belong behind bars for a very long time. Nationalism mixed with religious fundamentalism remains the primary source of bigotry, hatred and racism in the modern era.
25. If these were Arabs beating a Jew
Gav ,   USA   (03.13.13)
They'd be heros and streets named after them. At least Jews condemn this.
26. It's time for........
JaM84 ,   USA   (03.13.13)
........other Arab countries to ante up and provide real estate for a Palestinian state. No other solution for this eternal enmity between Esau and Jacob. That's why every "peace initiative" fails dismally.
27. Question for Sarah B.
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (03.13.13)
Please tell us all whether you condemn unconditionally this unprovoked brutal attack by Jews upon an Arab doing his low-paid public sector job. Once we know whether you abhor such attacks and refuse to excuse them as some sort of retaliation, we shall know whether to read anything else that you write.
28. #11 Michael
Vlad   (03.13.13)
Juries are the most idiotic thing about many of the world's justice systems. Taking people with no legal training, who often don't understand or are bored by complex evidence testimony such as presentation of forensic evidence, measurement of teeth marks, etc, often hate being forced to be there, who have no legal obligation to weigh the facts, and who could have biases, and asking them to determine a person's fate is scary and has no place in the 21st century. Trials should be conducted either before a panel of three judges, or by professional jurors who have legal training.
29. If these were Arabs beating a Jew, they'd be martyrs.
Reader ,   from Edmonton   (03.14.13)
...streets named posthumously.
30. #8 convicted felon
Rau   (03.14.13)
1. What appeared on other news site not necessarily true. 2. If it's true, still doesn't make it legal for the jews to attack him. 3. if it's true why the government of israel still keep him in public sector?
