1. are still we at home in Israel ?! Jews must fight back !
(12.01.13)
2. Send Undercover Police On That Route
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (12.01.13)
It's easy to stop if the powers-that-be just have the will and a little creativity.
3. Hmmm - "dark skinned" Arabs? They look very white to me
(12.01.13)
Are the white skinned Jews REALLY "foreign" in a supposedly "dark skinned" Middle East? Or should we simply conclude that white skinned Jews live among white skinned Arabs, Turks, Kurds and Iranians? Should we conclude that the fact that millions of people in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Kurdistan, Iran, Azerbajdzan, Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and Cyprus are white skinned is simply a natural fact of life in the Middle East? Maybe the Jews aren't so "foreign" after all?
4. Baroness Ashston immediately
steve from raleigh   (12.01.13)
Announced it was all the Jews fault.
5. This is a disgrace
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (12.01.13)
The woman identified one of the attackers. He should be under arrest. Why are they stalling? Also, this road is notorious so they should have undercover police staking out the road.
6. The police need to do their job
Scott ,   Ramat Gan   (12.01.13)
The police know where to patrol. If these things happened all the time they are not earning their salary. The police force is no place for cowards.
7. ARAB YOUTHS?
David Fakheri ,   L A USA   (12.01.13)
who are " Arab youths ? ". Are they the " enemies " of the State or not? and if YES why " Doesn't the Israeli Police Shoot " them to Death like the other countries when they do the same to the people who put their citizens's lives and their country's independence in danger ?
8. If people are not allowed soon to shoot at these attackers
Sergio ,   Turin   (12.02.13)
sooner or later many innocent people will be murdered.
9. Arrest them now
Ellen ,   Israel/NYC   (12.02.13)
Hopefully this Palestinian family will gain some understanding of what the Jews go through. However, the police are squandering that opportunity if they do not get their acts together and arrest the individual named. note to the family--I do not think the police are moving slower in your case because you are not Jewish. I do think they are moving slower because you weren't injured. The only time rock throwing incidents make the press is when something makes them stand out. A child injured stands out, an Arab family mistaken, stands out. BUt, for the police to actually do something--I think the people of Israel frequently suffer equally.
10. Hey Salman, so now you know...
Jockomo Finanay   (12.02.13)
11. Stories like this
Ezra ,   San Diego   (12.02.13)
I wish the victims would seek to publicize their story to all the anti-Israel Arab news agencies.
12. Arab youth? you mean Palestinian children??
Ilan ,   Ramat Gan, Israel   (12.02.13)
the same Palestinian children that when they try to attack Jews or IDF soilders ,are handcuffed and the world becomes outraged? The Palestinians have convinced the world that these "youths" are harmless and innocent. this articles goes to show how wrong the world is, but in this special case i say "just go with it!"the Palestinians are absolutely right, these youths are harmless and innocent. they were obviously oppressed in some way by the Arab family! they were probably practicing throwing a shot-put for the Olympics and this family got in the way of the flying rocks
13. What are PAP doing about it?
Dov ,   USA   (12.02.13)
14. Arabs Mistake Palestinians as Israelis
Steven ,   New York, USA   (12.02.13)
Oops!
15. Police only care after an injury: not to prevent next one
Serge ,   Montreal, Canada   (12.02.13)
Typical. There was an attack, but noone got hurt, so the police wash their hands. Don't they understand that by stopping the people who make an attack, they will stop them from making another attack, too?
16. maybe the gov wants these attacks
bernard ross   (12.02.13)
17. Obvious case of a war crime
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (12.02.13)
Only targeting Jews makes them war criminals. If the police weren't so busy appeasing the Arabs by keeping Jews off the Temple Mount they might have enough forces to go and arrest these war criminals
18. In the fog of war
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (12.02.13)
In the fog of war, including this war of liberation of Palestine from the unholy Zionist yoke, regrettable mistakes do occur. My sympathies to Rushuan Salman and his family, and may they be granted a speedy recovery and some financial compensation.
19. Making all the arabs up to look Jewish!
Mighty Jew Young. ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (12.02.13)
THE absolute positively FINAL SOLUTION to the arab problem! Dress all arabs to look Jewish...I know it's a monumentally huge job to clean'em up and dress them like human beings, but how do you make them look... intelligent? This is the real problem, making dross into gold!
20. The racist undertones of the article is a disservice
Miron ,   USA   (12.02.13)
to state of Israel. People under attack have no nationality, ethnicity, or any other trait, they need help and protection, irrespective. I can't stand these Las Vegas editions of cross outs putting black eye to Israel's face day in and night out. Knowing full well, that when it comes to mortal danger, there is only one democratic state with police force in the whole region that will stand for life of each and every human being from attack of terror, crime, or any other malevolent force. This goim propaganda is simply despecable.
21. Police ambush needed
S. Surrey, BC, Canad   (12.02.13)
Come up with a plan with well armed male and femaile police, helicopter support nearby and other undercover police cars ahead and behind (with PA license plates). Nab these idiots and break a couple of their knuckles while in custody. Make sure they will never be able to do these things again!
22. I can recall a more deadly case of "mistaken identity"
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (12.02.13)
It happened during the second intifada, about 11 years ago. An Arab was jogging in the mostly Jewish French Hill neighborhood when a Palestinian shot and killed him. When it was discovered he was an Israeli Arab, an apology was conveyed from the PA effectively apologizing that the attacker thought he was a Jew.
23. To: No. 18
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.02.13)
Perhaps they can get some money out of Abbas by way of compensation. Oh, wait! Abbas only compensates terrorist murderers! Oh well. I'll cheerfully contribute 100 sheqels so she can do something about those hideous roots.
24. #18 "unholy Zionist yoke"
A ,   Belgium   (12.02.13)
What do YOU know about holy or not? You are a disgrace to the religion you claim to represent, but being the result of an incestious relationship on a Polish hog farm one cold winter night, it isn't surprising that your mind is a bit...twisted.
25. "Attack"
Hammer ,   phoenix Az.   (12.02.13)
26. what goes around comes around. arabs go figue.
ghostq   (12.02.13)
27. So sad Arabs did not succeed in their
Barney ,   USA   (12.02.13)
Mission. Would the Arabs still have thrown candy in the streets? "They looked like Jew close enough!"
28. Arabs from (E-)Jerusalem attacked by other Arabs
tiki ,   belgium   (12.02.13)
"Oh, that's wrong, that's terrible! Jews from Jerusalem attacked by Arabs! "Oh, but that's all right....they're settlers & land grabbers! It's about time that politics/police stop this criminal act of stone throwing with force! Stop the excuses and looking away!
29. "Attack"
John Dale ,   phoenix Az.   (12.02.13)
Amazing, all the Palestinians do is complain how it is the Israelis who constantly attack and harass them.Then, when their own ignorant pos's attack them, because thry are just looking to hurt someone, an dit really doesn't mastter who or why. They ar all up in arms because the Israeli police didn't do "enough" even tnough they have no idea what the Police have done, they just stir the fire wit hunfounded accusations. The child wouldn't have been hurt if those animals hadn't attacked her! it has nothing to do wiy h what the Police have or have not done. And were is the P.A.? why aren't they accusing there own? or better yet arresting them?
30. #3: Arabs are not white skinned
(12.02.13)
As a Jerusalemite who see Arabs often I can tell you that most of them have darker skin compared to Jews. In addition, the Arabs who look like Jews resemble Mizrahi Jews - who came from Arab countries to Israel and themselves are not exactly white skinned. Ashkenazi Jews (the majority of Jews in the world and the founders of Zionism and Israel) don't look like Arabs or Mizrahi Jews since they have a much lighter skin. There are many Arabs that strol in west Jerusalem who dress like Jews and resemble Mizrahi Jews, but not Ashkenazi Jews.
