1. Yariv, why were U criticized by the the right in Israel ?
Moshe ,   Usa   (03.29.13)
Were you making liberal historical revisionist junk ? If so maybe H-Shem sent you a message about that ?
2. Europe of the 1930s....!! Jews, it is time to come home, to
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.29.13)
Israel, now!!
3. Mr. Horowitz
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.29.13)
maybe now you will get the huge difference between Israelis and Arabs: Israelis just critize you while Arabs don't bother with that, they turn to violence immediately. Give it a second thought!
4. Looking for attention
Daniel Carlos ,   Herzliya   (03.29.13)
It seems like Yariv is just looking for more media coverage.
5. Shows you that if...
Ariel ,   Modi'in, Israel   (03.29.13)
... you suck up to the arabs they see it as a weakness and WILL take advantage of it!! As a non-arab it's best just to mind your own business and keep your distance from them!!
6. To Moshe @ 1
Claude ,   London   (03.29.13)
What utter revolting nonsense. Those of us who love and support Israel will make comments and criticsms through art , film or whatever means we choose. The tone and language of your response is not that dissimilar to those that eminate from Iran, Hezzbolah and others. Many in France and UK have a hard enough job as it is against the BDS and anti Israel mobs and your contributions are fuel to the likes of Galloway and others Show more respect to those who do not share your views Maybe you have been eating too much Matza over Pesach has impacted on your social skills as well as your gut. Have a good Pesach

On the second thought, these teens must have been from the Mistaarvim Unit - an even more blatant attempt at tarnishing the otherwise unblemished reputation of the aformentioned terrorist ent... ooops, sorry, peaceful community (dunno whats up wimme!!!

19. Douce France, Stupid israeli leftist
Philippe ,   Raanana   (03.30.13)
1) Douce France: Nice warning to all french jews and israelis too; you are NOT welcomed and even beaten; so much for Mr Christophe Bigot french ambassador in Israel who recently had the hutzpah to write in this Ynet column that France is fighting antisemitism as never before; what a joke Mr Bigot, and please do note this vicious attack has been totally censored by french medias: Dont' tell-Don't ask-Turn your head the other side ; it's only one of those annoying israeli taking a bashing. 2) The behaviour of Yariv Horowitz is so squalid so fearful, He would not file a complaint with the french police because he had no time to waste with police burocracy...poor little jerk; You are beaten by arab hoodlums and you are even too afraid to ask for help.3) When asked for your lack of reaction you play double victim ; criticized in Israel and beaten in France ; Well Mr Horowitz now you will maybe catch the difference between the israeli democracy and the french arab so-called republic.
20. Clarifications
(03.30.13)
Just to clarify: 1. people who attached Horowitch were born in France, they are muslim French people but not arabs. 2. Some people here seem to be very paranoiac and ignore that in some areas of France there is a lot of acts of violence against any kind of people. Unfortunatly, Horowith was withdrawing cash in the wrong place at the wrong time...and ignored that sometimes you need to keep your mouth shut even if someone insult you.
21. @19
(03.31.13)
Not sure it was an act of violence against Israelis and/or Jews. the Chinese ambassy warned chinese tourists on such violence and recently asked its citizens not to travel in France for security reasons...
22. All these culture! producing crowd shall
olim hadashim ,   tel aviv/israel   (03.31.13)
finance themselves and not leech on our hard won tax money.
23. @6 What is wrong with Galloway? The israeli occupation is
Oren Aviv   (04.01.13)
@6 What is wrong with Galloway? The israeli occupation is wrong and the center at the issue. If we get rid of the occupation we get rid of the criticism. It's time to evolve zionism and adjust it to times. When Israel was declared is when we lost the ability to add more land. We have a homeland, let's keep it and stay away from trouble. This "religious zionism" is ruining not only israelis, but Israel itself is put in danger!
24. False Story
Alicia ,   Oceana   (04.02.13)
There needs to be a follow up article on this topic. It is now acknowledged that Horowitz was not beaten unconscious, and was not set upon by a group of Arabs. There was someone who hit him, when he was standing near the ATM. French sources state that this was a juvenile, and not an Arab. Horowitz was not injured, much less knocked out.
