You can run but you can't hide behind doctor's robe what you are. But then you aren't our enemy. You were brainwashed to believe in this game. The really sorry part in all this is there isn't one Jewish doctor left in Gaza to cure their girls. Because they were brainwashed so well, they extinguished them all. Like Ukrainians now extinguishing their Russian neighbors in Ukrain. Same brainwashing...

That's what I feel this article is all about, another attempt at making everything "grey"; "Circle of violence" comes to mind. Not buying it Hanadi, not even if you went as a volunteer guide to Auschwitz! We are not all bad/evil: Islam IS EVIL 100%, so don't put us into this liberal soup of "equals" 'cause we're not! You're not proving anything by risking your life in Sderot. You should educate your own people not us! Try THAT and see how long you'll survive.

You fill my heart with joy and sunshine. May you've blessed with a long and beautiful life. May your infectious thoughts spread like wildfire and touch us all.

"You better convince the Arabs that Israeli's & Jews are not their enemy. Most Israeli's don't see Arabs as their enemy, just people manipulated by wrong leaders, which than results in friction and yes sometimes (stupid) hate! So, instead of trying to convince the already convinced, you should turn your mission to the Arab world. I wish you good luck.

The only way to improve the situation is to remember that people on both sides are human, each with their strenghts and faults. We must all work to let compassion and understanding triumph over fear and hate.

Shaer is not the enemy, and Israel could live in peace with the residents of Judea and Samaria. In fact, we were almost there thanks to Shamir and Ahrens. But then the Israeli Left, supported by foreign money, imposed the psychopathic genocidal PLO on the Jews and Arabs. Arafat first murdered peace-loving Arabs, and then launched a war on the Jews, the whole time lauded by Jewish Israeli Leftists.

You are clearly unaware, tom, of how pathetic and immature your post sounds. "It's not us - it's them!" - the cry form the school yard. Here is someone trying to reach out, to make contact, when there are pressures everywhere to take sides. I am afraid, tom, that you represent precisely the malaise which has divided and continues to divide the world. But if that's your aim, get on with it.

.... firing missiles on defenseless Arabs, you know, chica? Keep that in mind the next time you run for a bomb shelter. And I point out, for the record, that while the Jews of Sderot may dislike you because you are an Arab and because they have suffered so much trauma at the hands of Arabs, no one has hurt you or tried to kill you. No one will. Please keep that in mind. Next, try and imagine the fate of a Jewish social worker in an Arab town, given the same circumstances. That Jew would have an extremely short shelf life. We're not the murderers, terrorists and thugs. The same cannot be said for the Arabs. Yet you are always safe in Sderot -- you said so yourself. Life in Sderot would be extremely pleasant were it not for your fellow Arabs trying to kill people all the time. Don't lecture the Jews, dear; lecture your own kind. They're the ones with the problem.

Thank you! One other person who didn't burst into tears at the warmth and fuzziness of this editorial. You had the same reaction I did. I zeroed in on the passage where the author states how safe she feels in Sderot .... and found myself wondering how well I'd fare in Umm al Fahm. Thank you again.

At least you are open to finding out for yourself what is really going on, but you still make the telling judgement that so many Arabs make: you just can't look at yourself and accept any blame. Also, hijacking words usually used to describe the Arab/Muslim condition, such as "brainwashing". You write, "This perception stems, in my opinion, from the brainwashing this girl was subject to from her parents, educators, religious leaders, the press, politicians and mainly the government leaders in Israel." No, no, no. The "perception" this girl has is from rockets raining down on her town, sent by grown men with the intention of harming children. In fact, the majority of Sderot children have PTSD symptoms. In this case, in Sderot, I'd let it pass that a child was afraid of you. Certianly, after that, we should be willing to look past ethnicity, but you must understand that, in Sderot, it would be almost foolish to trust Arabs, initially. As far as actual brainwashing, no one is more brainwashed that the modern day Muslim, where it is ILLEGAL in most Muslim countries to criticize the Koran. ILLEGAL to side theoretically with Israel, etc. I applaud your courage, and your openess. Just please understand that Jews (aside from the ones who have been constantly terrorized on almost a dialy basis) are open to joining with you. It is your people who might harm you openly, if you said in the middle of the street in Ramallah or Gaza, hey, let's get along with the Jews.

This girl was not brainwashed by " her parents, educators, politicians, leaders, etc.)." She is and was constantly attacked and in fear of missiles. And who fires them at her? ARABS. This girl is not brainwashed that Arabs are trying to kill her. They actually are on a daily basis. The Arab missiles are the issue and not the girl.

Then move to Gaza and tell your fellow Arabs to stop firing missiles.

for any facts, that could have derailed your liberal, "progressive" path in life. If you cannot see through her cheap propaganda, directed at clueless individuals like yourself (with all due respect), then absolutely nothing on this Earth can rock your boat. I wish you long & pleasant journey anyway.

A decent woman but I too, would like to teach the Arabs about good vs. evil, about love instead of hate, about building rather than destroying, but it is kind of hard if not impossible when Hamas have “summer camps” for 5 to 12 year old kids learning how to hold a riffle heavier than they are and their target is the face of a Jew…do you see where I, we are coming from, woman? # 2 Tom & # 4 Tiki you said it the best, bravo! # 3 Mike you're a foul and somewhat naive. You need eye and brain surgery...sorry for the personal attack but think and pray for the Fogel family… “Udi, 36, his wife Ruth, 35, and their children Yoav, 11, Elad, 4 and Hadas, 3 months were all stabbed to death.” by Arab teenagers full of hate who were bored that evening! Each time an ordinary Israeli takes a step towards "entente", they receive a knife in the back as a reward. Just look at the latest news: 80.6% of Palestinian People would vote in drove for...none other than that ass-hole Bargouti. This, in itself tells the whole story! http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-4523121,00.html Shalom, Salam & Satanic Verses

...with these words on their lips: 'Let me win, but if I cannot win, let me be brave in the attempt.' Today, all of you young athletes are in the arena. Many of you will win, but even more important, I know you will be brave, and bring credit to your parents and to your country. Let us begin the Olympics. Thank you." -Eunice Kennedy Shriver, 1968

When did the truth become "pathetic and immature?" And why on earth would the soppy bleats of an Arab woman, who has nothing to fear anywhere in the State of Israel erase the memory of exploding buses, theatres, night clubs, restaurants, or the children of Ma'alot who will never reach this woman's age? And why is it lost upon you that while she can roam freely in Sderot, or any place in Israel, Jews risk their lives by entering Arab villages? Bertram, I am certain that you mean well. But you do have a distorted vision of the Middle East. Perhaps were you to travel to Israel, just once. Take a trip to Qalqilya, or Tulqarem, or Tayib .... it will be a learning experience that you will not live to relate to anyone. How "pathetic and immature" is that? Also happens to be the truth, but you're not interested in that, are you?

Israel ought welcome Humanitarian Islam as well as a more Humanitarian Judaism even Humanitarian Haredi Judaism .But the core is Solid Security for the Jews and Non Belligerant Arabs and Internationals .

You ask how well you would fare in Umm al Fahm. Possibly far better than you deserve.

No, we're not afraid of you. We just don't like you. Get out of our country.

You Bertram represent all the anti semitic Islamists violence and garbage with your far left support of all things anti Israel. Yet you lecture Tom as being immature. What a laugh! You Bertram would not make a good pimple on Tom's backside.

just like all arab women everywhere

The article do not mention her religion.. In case you are jew here a nice phrase for you: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent" Have a nice day

...is that , over the next 2-3 generations, we Hebrews will push the Arabic alphabet out of our country.You guys can go back to your indigenous language, which is Aramaic. The beautiful thing is, our "Hebrew" letters are in fact Aramaic.

Amazing the assumptions you make about me. I have lost count of the number of occasions I have been in Israel since the mid-60s - sometimes for months at a time - the last being earlier this year. I have family in Israel as well as friends. And do you know, some of latter are - Arab. Oh my, I hear you gasp, a traitor, an antisemitic Jew, a member of the hard left! Leaving aside such pathetic nonsense, what I try to do is to listen to people - right, left, centre, Zionist, non-Zionist, Jews, Arabs. Why? Because unlike you I don't have the answers. Unlike you, I do not shamelessly exploit the words of a woman who is trying to engage with others to parade my own worn-out narrative.

You have been able to come to a Jewish majority city, study in a Jewish majority college and work in a Jewish majority hospital. Can a Jew move to an Arab village within Israel without risking attack. The Islamic movement, the PLO and Hamas all are clear their goal is to exterminate the Jews of the land of Israel. Israel has been clear we believe in coexistence. If you wish to live in peace with the Jewish people in the Jewish state you are welcome to. But its not racism when the institutions of the Arab world announce they are committed to genocide

"Don't lecture the Jews, dear; lecture your own kind." And unless another jew of your kind is wrong, you must believe you are the gifted one for that comment? - do me a favor do not reply to this post.

How is better? To write a beautiful ynet article than to be a good reader, or to be a great reader rather than to write an ugly talkback comment? Reply to #12, 13, 16, 19, 20, 21
