in jail for 10 years and take his snotty children away from him. Why didn't they publish his name? I think the country has a right to know who this piece of trash is so he can be treated like he treated a concened citizen, who also happened to be older. PUBLISH HIS NAME! WE HAVE A RIGHT TO KNOW and we also have a right to justice!

on his head. The rest is waste of time. Violence understands only violence, regardless of what the PC-crowd tries to peddle... Hitting on an elderly, helpless person puts the attacker just a notch above a cockroach on the animal scale.

..should actualy serve some days in the jail as punishment for the assault on the elderly plus additional time for not having educated his children properly; do not steel, respect elderly..

I would personally like some more info on this disgusting and terrible act. It seems the gentleman simply caught some kids in some sort of illegal act and they ran back to tell the person who had ordered them to carry out the act; who in turn came to beat up the witness (the elderly gentleman). Was this some petty crime? What was the wood for, to be sold (IE something more organized)? We they Arabs? Terrible either way.

the man should pay compensation to the 79 year old man. Plus do comunity service to holocost victims

This animal should be jailed and his kids know that both vandalism and violence ARE not accepted in Israel who but an animal hits an old man???

this was a pure exercise of power by a perpetrator against a much weaker and defenceless victim.

Declare the attacker ineligible for any state benefits for the rest of his days. Confiscate and sell any property he owns, and use the proceeds to compensate his victim. Lastly, place his children into foster care, with a restraining order preventing from him ever contacting them until they reach the age of 18. If he breaks this order, he gets minimum 10 years behind bars. In summary, destroy the creep's life. He deserves no better.

Make no mistake, These children have this father as an idealized role model. They will become much like him. Two years in prison for this animal with compensation of NIS100,000 minimum to be paid to this gentleman may yet save these children.

This shows the state the society is in, in bringing up children in Israel. The man had every right to approach the children who were clearing stealing the wood from benches. Where should the older people sit?? The man who hit him, I agree should be fined or imprisoned for a period of time. This shows clearly disrespect for the older generation, especially holocaust survivors to our shame! If nothing is done, this also makes a statement. There should be a sign posted, whoever steals benches will be fined at a high price! This country is greatly lacking in moral values, and in taking care of it's citizens, especially those who are less fortunate.

You are such a great example for your kids. They will probably ending up being filthy, cheap criminals and spending the majority of their lives in jail. On the other hand, I am sure you could not stand up in a fight against another 40 something year old man. Wanna bet?! I wish the victim a speedy recovery and may he soon be able to forget this horrible event.

The culprit of this incident was caught. He must be punished forcefully not only for this cowardly aggression but must be held responsible for the damage to pulic property and must pay for the benches his disgusting children destroyed. This will be the real punishment as it will affect his pocket.

The offender to gaol. The children to boot camp. Their Photos and names made public Victim compensated..

Enough of the Police's lazy/ineffective actions!

watch. Then put him in prison for a few years. Place his children under house arrest for a year without even going to school. Or let foster families raise them till they reach the age of 18. Why not have pictures of those involved as well as their address published?

I, a woman, have been punched in my stomach for objecting to a man's dog trying to attack my cat. This, I am afraid, is the result of decades of children getting no discipline from parents or schools. This passes on to the next generation and the next - and the violence we are seeing is the consequence.

The criminal, that's what he is, is a normative person! That's what his lawyer will say and I am sure the 40 year old will say that he was attacked by the Holocaust survivor! 79 v 40. An assault on an elderly person has a maximum sentence or 7 years, No doubt the Prosecution Service will be too lazy to prosecute and they will do deal and the father will get 5 minutes community service and the children will carry on being vandals! That is the said case that our legal system is in. It has become a laughing stock! As for the kids, they will grow up and beat up old people and nothing will happen to them. Another issue is why the Holon Municipality has not charged the children with vandalism? Too uch trouble, Mayor Moti Sasson?

They just don't care a damn! How can a country have law and order when the Attorney General interfered with a police investigation into child beating but a High Court (regional Court) judge? The Commissioner of Police is himself under investigation and was appointed by the SAME AG despite objections by the State Comptroller? Actually, Israel is not the only country in anarchy. Check out the UK. In the USA you can buy a machine gun. kill 20 children and the NRA will say that you exercised your Constitutional Right to bare arms!

No name, no other identification, therefore we know the ethnicity of the culprit. Here in Canada too. If the news report does not say the suspect is a Caucasian man, that's a code for either Aboriginal or other ethnic group.

With such a piece-of-s**t ars as a father, it is hardly surprising to see the children engage in acts of vandalism. In all likelihood they would end up as animals just like him. I wish the victim a speedy recovery, and for his aggressor - a few good years in the slammer. Though personally I feel this is a waste of taxpayers money. Such human filth should be disposed of swiftly, in the same fashion as cockroaches.

Find the Perpertrator and analyse forensically his personality. Violent Psychopathic behaviour like this ought be dealt with thoroughly.

We owe the existence of Israel because of the ashes of the holocaust, and now we have Israelis attacking holocaust survovors for asking children not to vandalise public property. This gentleman needs a harsh prison sentence, a visit to Yad Vashem then revocation of his Israeli citizenship. He has no place in the Jewish State.

That sort of headline plays well in the United States, who are thinking of cutting how much the Israeli taxpayer gvives to Israel. Much more likely to be the children of a settler

He has to have his citizenship revoked, anybody who attacks an Israeli holocaust victim has no right to remain in Israel

Right on!! That's the style to rip the morality back into your society. Weed out the rot.

Isn't that a mirror image of the way you tread the Palestinians ??? ,...

This country is one of the most disgusting country in the world. Rapists, pedophiles, thiefs, etc.... I am ashamed to live here surrounded by all this s..t. I have seen how my parents z"l were treated here and I still have hate in my heart. Hope I will leave the soonest and forget about these israelis who are making life here unbearable.

In the USA you buy an assault rifle, turn it to auto and kill 22 people and the National Rifle Association says the Right to Bare Arms allows to kill innocent kids! One guy said on TV that its OK to build a bomb! The only thing you need to bare is an arm to but the lethal injection needle into. Clean up your own mess BUILD BABY BUILD! It's much bigger than ours!

If Israeli's stop putting babies 3 months old in Gan's and treated their own children better maybe children would know to respect the old and pregnant woman and well all countrymen.....GAN is not LOVE GAN is not MOTHER & FATHER! GAN is a jail for neglected babies......
