1. No one was shot, because no Arabs involved, double standard
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.17.14)
2. Why was the teacher fired?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.17.14)
Israel monitors the curriculum in Israeli schools, but the school administrative staff, and all the teaching faculty, in Abu Ghosh are Arab. I'd be interested to know why the teacher was fired. And shouldn't the school's administrative staff have convened the students and spoken to them about it? What did this teacher do?
3. Student account
rachel ,   home b4 pesach   (03.17.14)
"There was tear gas, girls were suffocating......" ah yeah, that is why cops do not used tear gas inside. The students were throwing the tear gas inside. i have no sympathy for these students. none.
4. Arrest all of them!
Chaya ,   Bat Yam, Israel   (03.17.14)
Who do these kids think they are getting in the way of police doing their job??? Every kid involved in this should be arrested. There is a video so it shouldn't be difficult to identify the kids who were involved in this.
5. Arab Children
Ralph ,   Bonn   (03.17.14)
Typical Arab Children. They behave the same here, in Western Germany.
6. Abu Ghoush
Toby   (03.17.14)
Aren't these mostly Lebanese Christian Arab Israelis who support Israel?
7. By what right?
Volvi   (03.17.14)
By what right do students have to attack officers of the law? Oh the students are arabs ahh I see now it makes sense. Arabs do what comes natural to them resort to violence, nothing new here, move right along.
8. arab student protest becomes violent
jenifer ,   jerusalem, Israel   (03.17.14)
if this occurred in a Jewish high school, I am certain thata the matter would have been handled far differently! The police would not have been so restrained in their actions against the students! On the contrary, all the Jewish students would have been chained and arrested at once=perhaps beaten as well!
9. So, why was the teacher fired?
(03.17.14)
10. @5
Walter ,   Germany   (03.17.14)
Turks are not Arabs. Iranians are not Arabs. Bosnians are not Arabs. Pakistanis are not Arabs. Afghanis are not Arabs. etc. In fact I never met an Arab in Germany even when I live in one of the biggest cities. But this is not a big deal because they are only 0,3% of the German population. So where do you live that you now so much Arab people?
11. #1 like duh...? Abu Ghosh is an ARAB village
(03.17.14)
12. #8: Jewish students don't behave like that
(03.17.14)
This type of violence is something that you can find among Arab. It looks like a mini Intifada.
13. #1 hilarious
R ,   Israel   (03.17.14)
Shows what you know. I suppose I should thank you for the laugh.
14. Abu Ghosh becoming "Islamist"?
HugeNewMosqueThere ,   Jerusalem Israel   (03.17.14)
The village of Abu Ghosh may once have been "Israeli Friendly" but is it now anyone travelling there cannot but help notice the strategically placed huge Mosque on the main Tel Aviv Jerusalem Road could this have contributed to the Abu Ghosh teenagers throwing rocks at Israeli police !? This needs to be checked out. The secular Tel Aviv Elite love to go there to eat Abu Ghosh Humus and listen to Church Music on Jewish holidays maybe their naïve dream of "peaceful coexistence is coming to an end .This village creates an important bottleneck on the main road to Jerusalem in the past there has been rock throwing on cars as well during Intafadas past
15. #6: most of Abu Ghosh residents are Muslim Arabs
(03.17.14)
16. No. 1
Maier ,   Giessen, Germany   (03.17.14)
You gave the wrong answer. See the comments below! Gisela, Giessen
17. Benassi #1 FAIL again, Abu Ghosh is an Arab town
Mikeiy   (03.17.14)
Abu Ghosh is an Arab-majority, Muslim-majority village. Most of its residents have traditionally had good relations with Jews and the State of Israel, though. The high school was an Arab high school, and the students were Arab citizens of Israel. Benassi, do some better research before your knee-jerk response.
18. Ignorant #1, Abu Ghosh is 100% pure Arab.
Jake   (03.17.14)
Not even one Jew lives there.
19. Really?
Joe ,   Canada   (03.18.14)
so you're telling me that no one finds it horrifying that a couple of police men came into a school beat up a female teacher and dragged her on the floor in front of her students? By the way, where the hell would kids find tear gas grenades? in no democratic, human rights respecting country would this happen, no matter what the teacher did...and for all the fight against antisemitism, well the police men here have created hatred in those kid's hearts against us...no body loves a bully!!!
