1. Settlers are not helping Israel at all
Iranian Jew ,   LA   (01.09.14)
How long can IDF protect them with no boundaries? These guys would not last a second if IDF was not present. Government should curb them right away.
2. Who doesn't ?
split ,   US   (01.09.14)
3. why can arabs citizens live and walk freely in Israel any
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (01.09.14)
place they want. but Jews are not allowed in their areas without being assaulted or worse? Just as abAss has said in his apartheid state no Jews allowed
4. seems pal goverment
anton ,   istanbul   (01.09.14)

5. Looking at these pictures these settlers got..
Ivan ,   South Africa   (01.09.14)
a good "snotklap" [ south african term for a good hiding ]
6. #2spit just like naming streets after terrorists that
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (01.09.14)
killed Jewish children! WHO DOESN'T
7. Jews get "house arrest", Arabs arrested, tortured, jailed
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.09.14)
8. Sweet revenge
Joe Charlap ,   Jerusalem   (01.09.14)
At last the settlers got what they deserved - a good beating. This is their punishment for doing exactly what the Torah forbids. I hope they have learned their lesson.
9. # 7 Look at it this way...
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (01.09.14)
Jews that murder go to jail and stay in jail. Arabs who murder are set free in the name of peace. Arabs do nothing in the name of peace.
10. Interesting, blaming a few bad apples for all
David ,   Boston, USA   (01.09.14)
I dont understand the reverse stereotyping. I understand their anger, but I dont agree with that these Israelis did. However, this is a minority of people, yet the press makes it out to be a large number. On the underhand, when Arabs do it, the press makes it out to be the minority when they riot and cause all kinds of violence. The press is wrong is what they right just like its wrong on both sides to do these attacks. the difference is its a small minority of Israelis and opposed to a significant number of Arabs.
11. Through the looking glass
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.09.14)
Beating up people constitutes "passive resistance?" I hope the settlers use such methods of "passive resistance," too. The "Palestinians" can scarcely complain, having lent their "official" imprimatur upon "passive resistance." Or is it only "passive" when utilized by them? We shall see.
12. Settlers
Liq madiq ,   NT   (01.09.14)
This half breed mongrels got a good hiding. Afterwards they whined they were only out hiking. Too funny. More of this please
13. What else can one expect
Mira ,   Vienna   (01.09.14)
from a Muslim, they will always glorify violence, it's in their Koran and in their genes! And the education does the rest!
14. Does appear the Settler kids caught an ass-kicking
Cameron ,   USA   (01.09.14)
TFB, knuckleheads. They stepped out to raise some Hell, and ran into more than they could handle.
15. racist setters should be put in jail
exUK ,   TEl Aviv   (01.09.14)
What were they doing except causing trouble? Whatever label you wish to call these Arab villagers,they have lived there far longer as individuals than the Jewish troublemakers
16. #9, Bomber Hagai Segal got 2 years, killed IDF Bedou Sapper
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (01.09.14)
...while defusing bomb, and blew leg off Mayor of West Bank Arab village.
17. Settlers are my brothers
the Jew ,   Canada   (01.10.14)
Next time my brothers PLEASE have a guns
18. Very strange
Shalom ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (01.10.14)
Some of the settlers look like Arabs, while some of the Arabs look like settlers. Again, if the settlers were just out on a hike, why would any of them be masked?
19. #1 5 8 12 14 15 18
(01.10.14)
#1: For centuries it has been impossible to protect Jews without boundaries, what huzpah that they want to walk around without limits like free men. I heard of a great idea: Let's concentrate all the Jews in closed, walled- off areas, for the protection. #5 in South Africa it is called "snotklap" and everyone things it is great fun when the victim is white or a black woman. In the US it is racist assault and battery, punishable by up to 25 years in jail #8, #12, #14, #15: The Jews who were arrested were released today. It turns out that the police perjured themselves: the Jews had committed no crime and really were just hiking. #18: none of the Jews were masked.
20. Definition of self-defense
Hmm. ,   Chicago   (01.11.14)
As Palestinians see it, any attack on any Israeli at any time is an act of "self-defense." So beware.
