1. These Jewish extremists are doing Pals bidding
Mark B. ,   Amsterdam / Holland   (05.02.14)
One can hardly think of a better asset the Pals could have in the ongoing propaganda battle between Jews and Arabs in this conflict. And for those who think military, technological and economic might is all that counts regarding this conflict and public opinion in the world is irrelevant, my advice is: think again.
2. No, Zoher Bahalul is a Propagandist
Ariel ben Yochanan ,   Kfar Tapuah, Efraim   (05.02.14)
3. Arrest him for threatening violence
Yanni   (05.02.14)
Then poke a glowing poker up his evil bumhole.
4. Bahalul, you are underestimating your Jihad brothers, they
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.14)
need no help to start an Intifada, the slightest pretext suffices. Just think of Sharon walking on Jewish Temple Mount was the supposed reason for one. What was so offending about it that you will go on murdering hundreds of Jews?
5. IDF training in Muslim cemeteries was height of provocations
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.14)
...and thankfully the IDF was pressured to stop this sick behavior.
6. Zealots & Sicarii
Cameron ,   USA   (05.02.14)
Those ancient, homegrown roots. Coming back on strong.
7. Today a 19 year old Jewish girl was found murdered
Ron ,   oc us   (05.02.14)
How about such an impassioned artical for this girl from this blogger. Um el Fam per Leiberman should revert to the PA then they will not worry about grafitti.
8. Inshallah Zoher, Inshallah! About time we "revolt".
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.02.14)
9. certainly writing on a wall constitutes
frank ,   rehovot   (05.02.14)
shooting those same people...??? But what about those others people who are shooting rockets and murdering the innocent? It seems we have confused the morality and logic of the situation. Since when does writing on a wall kill someone? But I can honestly say they firing rockets into populated area is far more serious. But liberals cannot make that distinction. They believe that grafitti is murdering whereas rockets are benign....
10. Blowing up a church?
Arab Christian   (05.02.14)
Blowing up a church will not start an intifada. The Muslims don't care about churches as a matter of fact they wanted to build a mosque next to the church in Nazareth just to intimidate Christians, Israel stopped them. The Muslims blow up churches all the time in the Arab world and ban building them in Saudi Arabia and restrict their locations in most Arab countries. Blowing up a church sir, will not start a Muslim intifada.
11. #9 Leftists
(05.02.14)
Remember, for Leftists actions are not evil, only thoughts are. An Arab who murders a Jew is OK because it is "resistance". A Jewish teenager who makes graffiti is the ultimate evil because he doesn't accept being a dhimmi.
12. Stop saying arabs want to kill jews!
Matilde   (05.02.14)
Or jews will kill arabs! I came from latinamerica. There are a lot of goyim countries in latinamerica, but there whoever attack private properties, museums, stores, public places or gov buildings is a violator of the law. Doesnt matter what is you religion you must respect G-d. Stop saying there will be intifadas and war! No!! and No!! Jews, muslims & christians must stop boycotting themselfs by talking that. Where is the ability to reason of the writer? And you talkbacks forists, where is your logical structure to resolve the tags and graffiti attacks? Everytime that an israeli with muslim or christian religion want to protest for something he did not liked, everytime anyone in the westbank doesnt agree with your ideas, you all start talking non sense about Judea and Samaria, or saying ey, you know what? Send all those palestinians to Jordan they belong there. I really hope you all are not wishing for Israel just Judea because judaism. I will not ask from anyone of you to understand yourself before to use your knowledge. Shalom Alehem & alecum salam
13. Good article.

14. Price tag will keep peace in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv
(05.02.14)
It seems this is the only thing that kep peace inTel Aviv, not an agrement between the left and Hamas cocerning Tel Aviv, as they say.
15. wow
ike ,   hong kong   (05.02.14)
mr. bahalul. now you know that they are such a thing called HOLY SITE? this is the big surprise. church and mosque are holy. synagogues? na.... how many did you guy destroy in the old city? how many did your buddies destroyed recently in the gaza strip?
16. Reply to opinion article writen by Bahalul
Matilde   (05.02.14)
Judaism and zionist values are the same for settlers or for any other jew living in Tel Aviv, Ashdod, or Jerusalem. Jewish settlers are educated, are lovely people, and are very proud to live in Zionist lands conquered by Israel in 1967. Arrogantly or not, when malicious graffitis were painted on the Yad Vashem Museum in 2012, a few israeli were arrested for the anti- zionist slogans painted there, but they were not settlers. Settlers are not extremists and no one is going to do intifadas! Say no to vandalism! Say no to intolerance! Shalom
17. Ynet talkback is also a public wall
Matilde   (05.02.14)
18. #10 so right
(05.02.14)
Last week, Islamic Boko Haram kidnapped hundreds of Christian girls for rape and slavery. Obama and Kerry immediately condemned Jewish graffiti artists. Bahalul is praying that someone blows up a mosque or a church because he wants an excuse to attack the Jews. But he is right, it is a dangerous situation. Israel should deputize any soldier or armed civilian to shoot to kill graffiti artists. After it turns out all the dead are Leftist provocateurs, the issue will be forgotten like the old "olive tree destroying" blood libel.
19. Arab Palestinian Intifada
CJK   (05.02.14)
the arab palestinian intifadas have always had for goal the destruction of the sovereign jewish state of israel. 23,169 casualties of war and of terror will be remembered and honoured on yom hazikaron. 57 new victims were added to those of the fallen. the idea that price tag attacks will bring about a new intifada is disingenuous. undoubtedly, price tag attacks are wrong and reprehensible. however, intifadas are long standing acts of terror by a population which has been used as a pawn by the larger arab muslim umma and by their own leaders. as long as the arab palestinian leadership, supported by the arab league, refuses to accept jewish sovereignty in the land of israel, and thus put an end to the conflict between israel and the arab muslim world, unfortunately more blood will be shed on both sides.
20. 4 not mine.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.14)
21. The Fruits of Extremism
Joe ,   Israel   (05.02.14)
Not so long ago a disgruntled young Jewish man decided to exact a price tag for the deportation of his family to a concentration camp. He then assassinated a minor German diplomat in Paris. What followed was the rage entitled Kristalnacht and the rest is history. History is sometimes created by tiny short-lived sparks. We Ignore history at our own peril!
22.  Ynet Moderator...
Matilde   (05.02.14)

23. Bahalul is a racist
(05.02.14)
Normal people realize that graffiti is written by stupid punks with too much time on their hands. Along comes Bahalul and says that Arab Israelis are out of control animals who see some graffiti and can't control themselves, so they riot. I suggest Bahalul leave his yeshiva and come meet some real Arabs who are normal people who can control themselves.
24. no. 5 - these are Jewish cemeteries that Arabs appropriated
(05.03.14)
25. It is not JUST the graffiti which is disgraceful,
exUK ,   TEl Aviv   (05.03.14)
but what is its effect,including dissemination of hate and bad feeling,especially when nothing is seen to be done about it and nobody is apprehended. I'm sure there are many Arab prisoners in Israeli jails for much less! Whatever the rights and wrongs on either side,it is only going to hinder good feeling between Jew and Arab and Christian on the ground!
26. worrying
rm ,   amsterdam NL   (05.05.14)
I tell you what's worrying....Those who demand in the most vile language that Arabs get punished severely for any kind of wrongdoing hush hush the actions of Jewish extremists as letting of a little steam...... As if it's harmless childplay and not designed to serve a nationalistic goal and get the Arabs to revenge....And the handling of it by the Israeli law enforcement is nothing less than pathetic. All words zero actions
