1. Arab hope
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (10.11.15)
Is the genocide of every Jew. Let's end all their hope. They already live better than over 90% of all Arabs in the world.
2. Cycle of moral equivalence, enforce the right of return
Tzvika Pepel ,   Tel Aviv   (10.11.15)
Of the genocidal mass murdering cannibalistic extortionists back to the homicidal Hamite peninsular homeland of their own name so you won't have to kill them the next time they cannot control their homicidal impulses in the land named for the Yehudim and their homeland.
3. MR. YEMINI, WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE ???
FO ,   Belgium   (10.11.15)
Mr. Yemini, I read twice your article. I admit that some arguments make sense. But at the end, what do you propose? Nothing!!! So, what was the aim of writing this article? Just writing another one???
4. You mean "Arab spring hope-like"?!:-)) It's Islam Babe, and
(10.11.15)
all it wants is YOU/ME dead! Say it proud, say it loud: Peres, Rabin & the rest, have been hoodwinking us for tens of years, knowing well what by now every semi-educated person on the globe knows: it's WW3 out there.
5. Good article
Arnold ,   Loma Linda, U.S.A.   (10.11.15)
Good summation of present day realities.
6. Cycle of murderous "Palestinian" crime
Chaim ,   Israel   (10.11.15)
There is no cycle of violence. There is a constant cycle of murderous "Palestinian" crime against Israel. It won't end till Israel decides to win and let the abomination of fictional "Palestine" fall.

10. Sadly, the followers of allah... ...
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.11.15)
...aka :followers of the islamic cult, are the root of terror, murder and killings on the earth. The whole northern Africa is on fire from these evil creatures, both sides are yelling allah Akbar, when killings and terror are under way. Who can deny the allah to be the devil ??
11. brainwashed alte kakker alert

Caution: useless nonsense Yediot alert
12. One man's hope is another man's despair
(10.11.15)
So you can expect that when hope of a two state solution is revived, Hamas and the likes of Baruch Goldstein will come out of the woodwork. Don't let them decide your future.
13. This is probably the most pathetic intifada yet
Shachar ,   Eilat   (10.12.15)
Having a few delusional teenagers going out to try and stab someone is not going to help the Palestinians in any way. The terrorists aren't lacking hope and ambition, they have it in delusional quantities. But they are not a one-dimensional society, there are sections of Palestinian society that are looking for hope...they aren't the answer to our security problems, but they are the key to gradually improving it.
14. the excuse
shaul melloul ,   boston   (10.12.15)
watching TV news and listening to so called experts say that the recent violence by Palestinians and Israeli Arabs is due to poor socio -economic standing and poverty is ridiculous . millions of people around the world are poor and they don't go and stabbing innocent people with the intent to kill. the answer to this problem will be the last one standing will be the winner.
15. now
soma   (10.11.15)
the hope must be the security sure the knife and gun is for killing .the failer is the adjustment of security sure i was not there when both did the adjustment but sure may be under the knife or the gun in any place or time i will be or you will be
16. of memory and history...
Jew-C ,   JewLandia (Israel)   (10.12.15)
Mr. Yemini you wrote "The most painful wave of terror occurred during the 1990s. Those were the years of Oslo." Sir, this combination of sentences is correct but it is NOT accurate. I strongly urge you to go back and have a look at the 1990s. The overwhelming wave of terrorist violence occurred AFTER Prime Minister Mr. Rabin was assassinated by a Right Wing Nationalist. It occurred specifically after Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu released Sheik Ahmad Yassin (found of Hamas) in 1997... in other words Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu is responsible for unleashing hell upon the civilian population of Israel.
17. Cycle of violence.
Brad ,   USA   (10.13.15)
1) Muslims kill Israelis. 2) Israel defends itself by pounding the snot out of the Muslims. 3) Muslims squeal to the media and the UN. 4) Media and UN verbally trash Israel for defending itself. 5) The incident becomes old news. 6) Muslims kill Israelis. And so on. That's the cycle of violence. Islam is a crime against humanity.
18. the default
shaul melloul ,   boston   (10.13.15)
with all the terror attacks taking place in Israel , still the government spokesmen and all the experts say these atrocities are being executed by a lone wolf . this conception reminds me of the Yom Kippur war when all the signs were there but again everyone said the chances of war was low .this same conception is happening now , it is a failure of the intelligence service to recognize the truth . I believe there is organized terror that the government is failing to see or act upon due to so called # political correctness # . the Arabs believe that Israel is trying to change the status quo their holy site because of a lie their leaders keeps saying , if you keep saying the same lie over and over the people believe its true. Israel has to have a counter propaganda against this lie and discredit their leaders by exposing them for what they are. now is the time for Israel to act .
