5. Such a logic guides israel for 65 and i cant stand it!
Student   (05.16.13)
Our ministers that suppose to act for israelis and their security are acting like idiots. Price tag is an act to avenge terror from arabs towards jews. Stop arab terror acts towards jews and u solve the price tag problem. But no... Livni thinks she and abromovich act against jews protecting themselves because they cant do their jobs!!!! Resign... And leave us alone livni!!!
6. I have a idea
Bill Stein ,   USA   (05.16.13)
Make Livni illegal and classify her as a traitor for the americans.
7. to #5
exUK ,   Tel Aviv   (05.17.13)
Price tag is NOT what you say.It is often a reaction by angry extremist settlers to opposition from IDF police or politicians. Why dont you 'declare yourself' and say that you are right wing,living in occupied territory asnd not impartial?
8. #3. You're representing the "Yevsektsiya".
Tom W ,   USA   (05.17.13)
Jewish Communist Internationalist always hated the concept of Zionism and a Jewish State. (Yevsektsiya). They created a "new" Jewish homeland in E. Siberia, named "Birobidjan" under Stalin's rule. For the Bolsheviks Zionism is nothing more than "bourgeois nationalism" that must be destroyed. These radical leftist Jews supported Brezhnev-Arab alliance against Israel during the '67 war and sent to the gulag countless religious Jews under Stalin. These self-loathing leftist Jews are in the vanguard of the current cold war against Israel and they are implacably hostile to Israel. Their ideological mother was Rosa Luxemburg *-1919) who hated her Jewishness: she though of herself as member "the Universal Mankind". I as an ex-E. European we do know these leftist Utopian dreamers in and out for many populate these forums. They did the same in E. E.U.+Russia during the Communist era: sucking up the Islamofascist. They do the same today.
9. On the right track
Avramele   (05.17.13)
Define terrorism and acts against the state and public security and then apply it meticulously to all. It is the role of government to protect all, both citizens and those living under its administrative control. In such matters the laws of democracy cannot make ethnic or religious distinctions as did the Nurenberg Laws of the Nazis.
10. action and reaction!!!
exUK ,   TEl Aviv   (05.17.13)
If there were no extreme settlers there,we would have less problems with stones etc from our Arab cousins.If you had your crops ruined,had a wall separating you from your livelyhood,you would be angry too.If you had been a 3rd generation Arab over the line,finding yourself in a situation not of your making,I'm sure you would sometimes misbehave.With a 2 state solution and land swaps it still may be possible to have peace,...but frankly I dont think our politicians wish it.They just try to maintain the status quo whilst building settlements and evicting Arabs,whilst in Israel proper there are poverty and property shortages.
11. A So Called Jewish State. Ha!
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (05.17.13)
B"H - A so called Jewish State that legislates specifically against its Jews and allows them to be killed is not Jewish. Even according to the Zionists' own propaganda, Israel is here to protect the Jews. But if it attacks them, what is the point in having another anti-Semitic country in the world, this time on G-d's holy Land?
12. #11. Beware of the men behind the curtain
Tom W ,   USA   (05.17.13)
Israel current policy is strongly influenced by Obama's leftist Court Jewry. They cleverly made themselves invisible yet through various emissaries - like Livni now, or Barak before - they try to instill a pro-Islamic, defeatist policy on Israel. Jstreet, Soros, untold number of NGO-s, radical leftist Jewish media (N.Y.Times) etc. have the knives out for dividing Israel. Only the blind cannot see it. Patriotic Israelis are under tremendous pressure by the Left so it's conceivable the that the establishment will turn against their own gradually. What is pity and not well understood is the missing voice of the non-Anglo Jewry like Russians and other Eurasians.
13. #11
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.17.13)
things are bad enough as they are! by not letting these price tag terrorists make the conflict any worse, protecting Jews is EXACTLY what livni and company are doing! I refuse to live in a country that will stoop to their level! I am better than that, my country is better than that, and WE are better than that! now, back to our internal economy problems!
14. Now you see why voting in Israel is devoid of any meaning?
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.17.13)
No matter what, one gets a leftist agenda crammed down our throats.
15. Li vni is evil. Vandalism versus mass murder!
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.17.13)
Livni is a total incompetent. Her record proves that. However, there is increasing evidence that she is downright evil. Rather than punish mass murderers of Jews, Livni seeks to treat mostly petty vandalism as terror. This is monstrous!
16. She should be investigated
Moshe ,   NY   (05.17.13)
Maybe this woman has a pact with our enemies, because she is always persecuting jews.
17. #7. Judea and Samaria are heart & soul of Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.17.13)
The lie of the "occupation" is so ridiculous the P.A. refuses even to debate it. As MK Danny Ayalon challenged them to. It is intended to serve Israel's enemies. Judea and Samaria are heart and soul of Israel. The truth about leftists like yourself is that you have a very sick death wish, which motivates you to try and turn Israel into a 9 mile wide concentration camp.
18. this criminal leftist regime needs to be overthrown
CHAIM.S 54st ,   brooklyn ny   (05.17.13)
in any other normal country,these traitorous criminally insane self hating leftist leaders,would be put on trial for high treason and they would be hanging from the gallows
19. Hey Livni, how about rock throwers?
Larry ,   Los Angeles   (05.17.13)
rock throwers should be in the same category as those who use lethal weapons. If you include price taggers as terrorists how about protecting us Jews? Get us protection from the rock throwers who can act with impunity? Let's at least be fair!
20. Will Beduin theft be terror too
Ilan   (05.17.13)
Nationalist vandalism and theft is as much terror as graffiti
21. Bad pennies always turn up in Isreali politcs.It's an axiom.
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.17.13)
22. #17/18 And when will you hang me?
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (05.17.13)
The PA refuses to debate the legitimacy of their claims to the occupied territories for the same reason that Israel refuses to debate it's own legitimacy: it's offensive and patently absurd. I am not a leftist nor do I have a death wish nor am I afraid of a 9 mile wide border. The same is true for Israel's former heads of Shin Bet who have similarly condemned the settlement policy --or do you really believe that they are all leftists with a death wish? Like most of your cohort, you appear to live in a paranoid fantasy world devoid of logic, rationality and morality. If you had the power the democratically elected leadership of Israel would be, in your own words, "hanging from the gallows." No doubt, you would happily hang me along with them. And you think that you are sane?
23. Livni is right
Harri ,   EU   (05.17.13)
Those price-tag lunatics are damaging Israel much more than Gaza rockets. As a matter of fact, Israel needs some Gaza rockets to be able to continue Gaza siege and to avoid international condemnation of targeted killings. On the other side, Palestinians also need Israeli price-tag lunatics to be able to show that Israel has apartheid double standards for justice. Livni has always been smart and defended Israel, even when the public has been fooled by the populists.
24. Attorney General
Philip ,   Afula, Israel   (05.17.13)
Is in himself a "price tag" with his inability to decide on anything.
25. Price tag attackers are terrorists
On the Balcony ,   Akko/NY/Kyiv   (05.17.13)
Rock throwing is usually a public act against specific targets while price tag attacks are made in secrecy, against random targets including the IDF and police and in response to legitimate Israeli government actions. They are subversive terrorist acts and should be treated accordingly. p.s. Israel routinely imprisons thousands of Palestinian-Arab rock throwers from the occupied territories -but settler throwing rocks at Palestinians and Haridi rock throwers living in Israel are seldom arrested, much less imprisoned.
26. Why are people complaining?
James ,   United States   (05.17.13)
This is needed. Before you call Livni a leftist, she was in the fucking right wing Likud for many years. Rule of law ideally means everyone follows and the fact is these thugs aren't following. Terrorism may be an exaggerated term but in pretty much any country they would be regarded as criminals. This is a two state solution is needed. Before people complain about an issue, actually research it. Keep in mind, some of these price tag attacks target the IDF which does include Arab, Muslim, Druze, Christian and of course Jews unless of course you're ultra orthodox.
27. Price tag never killed IDF or Police
(05.17.13)
They defend Tel Aviv, Haifa and other mixed towns. If not for price tag a lot of people in Tel Aviv and Hifa will be dead
28. It's a hate crime, not terrorism
Avi Ze'ev ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.17.13)
There needs to be strict enforcement and penalties, but all declaring it terrorism will do is conflate the actions of idiots with those actually trying to kill people.
29. Livni is not really leftist she was in likud
James   (05.17.13)
30. #13. You're entitled to your opinion
Tom W ,   USA   (05.17.13)
...and to the consequences of your decisions. And be sure even the most pro-Israeli people are less and less interested in the continuous existence of Israel. If you disappear, then so be it. Remember Poland awaits you with open arms and with love.
