31. Parents: Violent Arabs Make 'Superland' Super-bad
Scott ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.30.13)
From a teacher who's been there: "We often arrive at the parks with dozens of children,” the teacher said. “Arab groups often begin to provoke the Jewish kids. The Arab youths curse, swear and try to provoke a violent fracas. We need to support Superland in its decision. We cannot surrender to the extreme Left in its attempt to harm the park, which simply wanted to have separate days in order to avoid unnecessary violence.”
32. Education Minister - "I am Shocked"???
Doug ,   Rochestrer, USA   (05.30.13)
How can the education minister that presides over a Jim Crow education system where there are separate schools for Jews and non-Jews be shocked at a park following the school system's lead and adopting their own Jim Crow admission policy? Israel is like the U.S. south in the 1950's. Except that it is now the 21st century and the civilized world does not allow discrimination and racism.

Please tell me that you are being sarcastic.
34. Whatever you call it, its not new
Eldar ,   Haifa   (05.30.13)
More than 20 years ago, while living on a Takam Kibbutz, my friends and I learned that the Kibbutz, which ran a swimming pool as a business, had separate days for Jews and Arabs. Our very liberal hosts explained that its a simple business decision, because Jews wouldn't come if they knew there were going to be Arabs at the pool. Make whatever you want out of that.

Why don't you learn to look before you leap? Or at least do a modest amount of research. You will discover that it is the Arabs in Israel who INSIST on Arab-only schools. On the other hand, any Arab child whose family wants to send him or her to a Jewish school is free to do so. There is no shortage of Arab families who do precisely that. While you're teaching yourself how to do research, why don't you check the admissions policies of Brigham Young University, Bob Jones University, Oral Roberts University and Liberty College? Jim Crow is very much alive and well in the United States. Moreover, care to address the subject of all-black colleges and universities? Grambling .... Tuskegee and over one hundred others. According to your lights, then, the United States is uncivilized -- it does, after all, tolerate segregated colleges and universities. You really are such a dolt!

Absolutely right.
43. What the Heck
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (05.31.13)
is wrong with you people? this is segregation based on race, that's racism pure and simple. these aren't Palestinians we are taking about! these are Israeli Arabs! Israeli citizens all the way! the Palestinians can ride their "it's a martyrfull life" rockets for all i care. segregating Palestinians is not racism, it;s called this is my country, that is yours. you stay on your side! segregating these Israeli Arabs was wrong not mater how they spin it., and really doesn't have a place in our society! which BTW many of you are not apart of, yet you feel soo free to comment, telling us what you think what we should or should not do! and i'm not talking about all the jews around the world, as they will forever be a part of our society! no mater where they are!
44. Ilan @43 what the heck?
(05.31.13)
What do these Jews living all around the world contribute to our society? I am a non Jew, living in Israel and I contribute much more to this society than some Jews living abroad will ever do even if I don't qualify your standards for being a citizen of Israel since I am not Jewish.
45. It's apartheid in the making
Rau   (05.31.13)

larry ,   Israel   (05.31.13)
This isn't a problem arabs one day jews the next ,,,it stops arguments and fighting . i know i was at a water park and a group of .don't want to say who. pushed the other kids out of line . because they were stronger, '! thats no way to act , so separation is the best answer
47. Superland
Kenneth Williams ,   Matteson   (06.01.13)
This would be like Americans segregating blacks and white students. This wrong.
48. to #36
heifait ,   Haifa   (06.02.13)
Dear Marian, we have religious schools (per religion) and secular schools. No secular school segregates anyone. Please do some fact checking before talking nonsense.
