1. assault on Druze

The idiots who did this, when arrested, should be paraded in the victims town square for a few hours and then in all of Israel's major cities along the main roads and their photographs appear in all the major newspapers. Just to show how stupid they really are. Any resistance would result in a minimum prison sentence of 6months in a criminal category. Perhaps this would rectify their brains??
2. Jews?
Jason,Ph.D. ,   Charlotte, USA   (01.23.15)
The Jews who committed this atrocity are obviously in direct violation of Jewish Law. Shame on them! They bring shame to all of us.
3. Brutal and needless attack-incident.
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (01.23.15)
For example, better attack "islam" "hamas", even pre-emptive, because they want to destroy Israel. The same goes for "islam" "hezbollah" and the criminal "islam" regime in Tehran, "islam" "al-queida", "islam" "i.s." and so on.
4. The Chosen People!
Bill ,   Skokie U.S.A.   (01.23.15)
" What Tommy Hasson's assailants did not know was that they were attacking a young man who had just completed his IDF service". This statement is so bad that I have to say something. The article goes on to say that he spoke Arabic, and left me feeling that had he actually been a Palestinian that somehow this would have been not so bad or justifiable. Our father in heaven requires us to love one another and not to judge one another! Anytime we do differently we are telling God that we know better that he which is a sin and blasphemy! I suggest that the people of Israel remember who they are! The chosen people, those who are to be a light in the world of darkness. It doesn't matter what someone has done to you! it only matters what you do to others!
5. This is not the normal way
marv   (01.23.15)
neutalizing terror is one thing, shooting knife wielding jiahdists and so on, but attacking arabs for no reason is stupid and not right. Of course some arabs goad israelis by barbaric atocities but israelis must resist the temptation to get even on the backs of innocent arabs.
6. find the perpetrators, remove their citizenship & expel them
Rafi ,   US   (01.23.15)
They do not deserve to live in the State of Israel
7. Disgraceful
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (01.23.15)
Particularly in view of the fact that there is a strong likelihood that the ten men who attacked him did NOT serve in the IDF or perform some sort of national service. If they didn't serve in some fashion, they should be deported.
8. Funny, he doesn't look Druish.
Murray the K ,   Bronx, NY   (01.23.15)
9. Handsome and civilized
Whatevs ,   PT   (01.23.15)
He needs to move to a normal country run by modern humans
10. Extremism our undoing
Shosh   (01.23.15)
It is now impossible to spend more than five minutes on any social network news feed...without being sickened by extreme comments mostly from extreme right. The top Twitter users both Jews and non-Jewish supporters are hate-filled agitators which are suffocating moderate voices by the moment. This evil attack is direct consequence. I want my religion back. Wake up my brothers and sisters. Open your eyes
11. Brave jews 10:1 Typical The "Lions of Judeah"
American Veteran   (01.23.15)
Armed idf vs 10 year old Palestinian child = fair fight
12. Thugs
David Wolper ,   London, England   (01.23.15)
Shameful. The police need to find these idiots and as other commentators have said make them apologise to Tommy and his family before charging them with assault. Wearing kippah eh? if this was frumeh doing this they should be excluded from their community after they leave prison. These are not Jews.
13. Those that attacked the Druze I
DT ,   TA Israel   (01.23.15)
hope are caught, tried and sentenced and given the absolute maximum sentence. Every best wish for a good recovery and I, for one, am grateful for his service in the IDF
14. A Chillul Hashem...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (01.23.15)
Even if Tommy hadn't served in Tzahal, attacking someone without any proof of wrong doing and just because he spoke in arabic is a Chillul Hashem. In fact, I have several friends in Israel who are Jewish and can speak arabic. Would this group also have attacked them?
15. Refuah Shlema Tommy
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (01.23.15)
16. Shame and Disgust
Claude ,   UK and Cape Town   (01.23.15)
This young man is a credit to his family, community and IL. Maybe YNet should run a campaign to help him pursue his studies The scum who committed these acts should wear a badge of shame and humiliation for life.
17. Shameful. Any arrests so far?
(01.23.15)
If not why not?
18. Mistake
Tom ,   New York   (01.24.15)
There isn't one iota of proof that the attackers are settlers . Keep in mind this comes on the heel of a bus attack by an Arab who attacked 12 people with a knife .
19.  A WRONG AND SHAMEFUL ACT
tTEL EM STRAIGHT ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (01.24.15)
20. Bennet is to blame
simon ,   modiin   (01.24.15)
What would Naftali Bennet say about this incident?. Since his campaign is about not saying sorry and refusing to apologise his only course of action is to praise the attackers who are probably his supporters spurred on by the arrogance of the right wing camp.
