1. "Jewish" groups are outraged at price tags against Arabs
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.02.14)
Why aren't these "Jewish" groups outraged at the desecrations of several shuls in Israel and Torah Scrolls?
2. These morons have it backwards.
David ,   Hartford USA   (05.02.14)
Graffiti is not the problem and slashed tires is not the problem. Murdered women found in deserted parking lots is the problem. Slaughtered families in their own beds is the problem. Butchered students in yeshiva is the problem. fatal attacks on public roads is the problem. Rock throwing at the Wall is the problem. Incitement to jihad is the problem. Brainwashing Arab kids via TV programming is the problem. Do these 50 'leading' organizations get it? What morons! What useful idiots! How dare they equate simple vandalism (disgusting as it it) with wholesale MURDER by Arab Muslims! And if the IDF and police can't protect the public from premeditated murder and attempted murder, then I say that Price Tag serves a warning to the perpetrators: we have a limit, and we will protect ourselves if you push us too far. These 'leading' organizations must take a hard look in the mirror, because what I see disgusts me.
3. a definition
(05.02.14)
The definition of a dhimmi is a person who is "profoundly concerned by the series of acts of vandalism" against Arabs while ignoring the brutal murder of a Jewish girl. You hear these Leftists talk and you understand why Mohammed said that Jews were losers.
4. My not particularly humble opinion
Gideon Reader   (05.02.14)
It is not cool. Grafitti is a pee poor means of expression. It signifies a sloppy and dumbed down upbringing. It is NOT Jewish. The artwork generally stinks. It defaaces others property. It physically hurts no one. It is not a felony or to my knowledge threatening of anyone's life. Single out and critique spelling and artistic failings to minimize the phenom.
5. Price tag? Better launch rockets at Arabs indiscriminately
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.14)
6. silence on Shelly Dadon terror attack
Lemmings Hotline ,   sd usa   (05.02.14)
but graffiti - now thats worth a few points on the ratings..... world out of balance
7. David, #2
Jason, Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (05.02.14)
Sorry David. But in the name of Jewish law and Jewish values, you are dead wrong. The ADL is completely right that any acts of vandalism, etc. are simply wrong. Period. Of course, the ADL has vehemently condemned violence agains Jews. Also, I do not see the ADL making a moral equivalence between the murder of Jews and graffiti on Arab institutions. Of course, the killing of Jews is a much greater offense. ADL is simply saying that the "Price Tags" are morally wrong. And of course, the ADL is right. Furthermore, not only are the "Price Tags" morally wrong, they are also brain-dead dumb. They hurt Israel's image without any mitigating benefits. I would urge you and people like you to think carefully before you speak. I am one of Israel's most ardent defenders, and no one can accuse me of being a leftist.
8. Get it right.
michael Pielet ,   israel   (05.02.14)
The problem is arab incitement, terror and murder against the Jewish people.
9. "Abusive graffiti" versus murderous terrorism.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.02.14)
Most of the price tag incidents involve nothing more than "abusive graffiti", which would not get a second glance in Brooklyn. Leave it to moronic self appointed "representatives of American Jewry" to equate graffiti to murderous terrorism.
10. I know one thing...
manicdrummer ,   Haifa, Israel   (05.02.14)
...I'm thankful that I'm Jewish, glad I'm not an American anymore and proud to be an Israeli.
11. They should vote Obama then...
Arik ,   Hadera Israel   (05.02.14)
I forgot ! They all did it...
12. Those price tag idiots don't know what they are doing.
Harri ,   EU   (05.02.14)
Those price tag idiots don't understand that all Jews will pay the price for their crimes. The more they do their stupid acts, the more people are seeing extremism in every Jew. If someone is defending Israel, people think that they are defending price tag attacks and reckless settlement building. It must be hard to be a Jew in a world where Israel has lost understanding of foreign policy and diplomacy.
13. Such "profoundly" pretty words
ASTRONAUT ,   SC, USA   (05.02.14)
"Unequivocal - allocate all resources-uproot phenomena -escalated!" from liberal American Jews who live, work, and sleep peacefully every night, without concern of incoming rockets or flying bullets. Remember these words, dear liberal leaders: "Juden Raus!!!" and stop preaching where you don't live.
14. CPMAJO... Synagogues not targets of "price taggers" ...fool
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.02.14)
...does "price taggers" stealing native Palestinian land in West Bank count also? And "demand that the perpetrators of the attacks be brought to justice"?
15. We're more concerned by Arab murderers
Noah ,   bronx New York   (05.02.14)
Even though vandalism is stupid. Let's stay focused on the root cause of conflict which is Arab refusal to see a future with Israel
16. Use of same stats for two articles Ynet?
Rachel ,   Sweet Jerusalem   (05.02.14)
How sad. Why use real information of all victims no matter what their background? O, I see, that would show that the true victims are NOT Muslims. Secondly if US Jews were not terrified of the anti Semitic attacks in their own country, they would not be so upset with Israel. They did the same thing during the Shoah. "Shah shtil, they said "we have it good here. We cannot of afford to stick out our necks for European Jews. People will accuse us of being unAmerican." We know the result. B"H this time US Jews can jump. Maybe we might save them when the $&@$ hits the fan.
17. American Jews are beyond stupid
Avner ,   Tel Aviv   (05.02.14)
American Jews live in another galaxy. Most of them are mentally ill leftists, who vote for the Democrat Party.
18. "American Jews"
CJK   (05.02.14)
these are well fed, well to do, american socialists, with a sense of moral superiority who look down on israeli jews who fight every day of their lives for the sovereign jewish state. these very complacent, ignorant jews, need to know that according to fbi statistics, hate crimes in the us are disproportionately directed against jews. these jews should wake up and realise that since obama became president, there has been a concerted effort to split the american jewish community and turn it against israel. they should also realise that without israel, their lives would be much harder as jews.
19. Lip service, the tribe defends the tribe
Christian Victim   (05.02.14)
20. Nope.
Chana ,   USA   (05.02.14)
I'm an American Jew and I'm far far more outraged at the murderous attacks the Arabs in and around Israel do on Israelis. Give me a break. There is no comparison between pricetag graffiti and Arab continued attempts at mayhem and murder. The Jews here in the U.S. are concerned because President Obama and his administration are whipping up hatred toward Jews.
21. CJK #18 Not this American Jew
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (05.02.14)
I'm more in line with Libertarians and the Tea Party, but then I'm a rare bird.
22. 20, Chana, correct
CJK   (05.02.14)
23. Well, it's finally arrived
Cameron ,   USA   (05.02.14)
Inevitable, and only surprising it held off so long. Now Jews are starting to carry on in exactly the same manner as their Arab neighbors. No sympathy for the Arabs of Israel. They've been playing this game for many years, and now it's circled around to now start plaguing them on a level of daily personal life. Fanaticism reaching out to touch everyone. Hey, it's the ME.
24. #18, sorry my diet disturbs you!
Steve   (05.03.14)
Smart move CJK, after damaging property of Arabs who probably had nothing to do with attacks on Jews, now you can turn your verbal assault on American Jews of which you know nothing. What Israel does not need are unsophisticated third world Neanderthals like yourself who propagate violence and lies.
25. #23 Hey, it's the Middle East
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (05.03.14)
Why can't they all be like homosexual America?
26. Are all the price tag perpetrators Jewish?
Aharon   (05.03.14)
How do we know that some of the attacks aren't Arabs vandalizing their own buildings to increase the hatred against the Jews. Since many of the perpetrators haven't been caught, it's wrong to assume all of them are Jews.
27. Racist attacks
Tom ,   USA   (05.03.14)
Adopting the language of the aggressor is a sign of sympathy or at the least a form of compliance. For ADL to call the crimes "price tag attacks" does just that. Call these attacks by their real name: Racist Hate Crimes.
28. # 12 Wait until the price goes up....
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.03.14)
When Jews slit the families of pals while sleeping, kidnap soldiers, assassinate unarmed civilians, begin 'Honor Killings' , 'female mutilations', then you can compare the two. Just wait until the Jews exact the same revenge on the pals as they've done unto them. When that day arrives, the pals will run from Israel. This is war not two sides of juveniles slinging mud.Jews don't lose wars.. KEEP BUILDING ISRAEL FOR JEWS !!!
29. # 21 Funny, more independent Jews now than ever....
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.03.14)
obama's 'democrat' party' is in no way resembles our fathers democrat party. It looked more like a rally of palestinians and arabs for obama.... I'm noticing more 'independent ' former democrats now than ever before, must be ashamed of having voted for obama the anti semitic Bath House playboy. KEEP BUILDING !!!!
30. # 27 Tom,
BUILD BABY BUILD !!!   (05.03.14)
Wait until the Jews begin to slit the throats of entire palestinian families as they sleep. Or, kidnap solders and behead them or terrorize and assassinate civilians or, "Honor Killings' that arabs are so famous for... Or, female mutilations, or, the now famous Gaza "Roof Toss." FYI a 'palestinian' isn't a race, their an invention that's about to disappear from all of Israel. What's a racist hate crime is the non ending war the pals/muslims/arabs have waged on the Jews and lost each time. KEEPING BUSY BUILDING HOMES FOR JEWS ONLY IN ISRAEL !!!!
