BUILD BABY BUILD   (03.16.14)
what a shame a man who has brains and troubles for wanting to visit the only democracy in thee ME, Israel. Any voices to help him from "Peace Now"? KEEP BUILDING !!
2. Peace treaty means this is legal
Mordechai   (03.16.14)
This should all be legal according to the peace treaty. If its not legal they Egypt needs to return the Sinai to Israel
3. Shocking!
NilsG ,   Helsingborg, Sweden   (03.16.14)
He had a Hebrew-Arabic dictionary? Dreadful! ... Eejits ...
4. Arrested for wanting to feel free of hateful Arab propaganda
Dov ,   CANADA   (03.17.14)
I do not understand why Israel has to tolerate these Arab government policies and their hatred towards Jews. These corrupted and cruel leaders are hypocrites, depriving their people in every way. Why don't Arab masses get rid of these a-holes and get the freedom they deserve once and for all. but first, they will have to rid themselves of their imams whom represent the head of the snake.
5. As predicted, Arabs are always enemies of Infidels, no Peace

6. Aside from the fact that it's preposterous and tyrannical
Dani ,   TLV   (03.16.14)
to arrest a man for liking a facebook page, speaking to somebody online and learning a foreign language, especially considering Israel is officially at peace with Egypt, I do wonder why he wanted to reach Israel via Sudan, a country with 0 ties with Israel and an outspoken enemy. Why not just drive up to the Taba border crossing, or catching a flight from Cairo to Tel Aviv via some European city?
7. Nils, are you taking the Ferry to buy beer in Helsingor?
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.17.14)
Just curious, since I visited Humlebeck a while ago and saw lots of Swedes there on the weekend. You made a very good observation. It is like this and much worse among all Arabs, This is why it is impossible to have Peace with them.
8. SO WHAT!! And we are supposed to have peace with egypt!!
Brett L ,   JHB RSA   (03.17.14)
In this day and age why should a person be arrested just for showing interest in a people or religion? The most intolerant horrible people on earth these arabs.
9. Israel arrest Palestinian Journalist for writing on Facebook
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.17.14)
...‘occupied Jerusalem’. "A Palestinian photojournalist is arrested for describing Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat...as mayor of occupied Jerusalem on his facebook page after Barkat appeared in occupied East Jerusalem. Interrogators described the statement as a form of “incitement.” But countries all around the world refuse to recognize Israel’s occupation of Jerusalem, which was supposed to be internationalized under UN plans." 5,7, not mine.
10. This has to be a Purim joke. Very good!
