Surely the author of this self flagellation excuse of an article would have taken a bolder - more out-of-the box - approach and considered the possibility that if these "academic and un-employed" gems of society (and their leaders) would have - over all these years - adopted a more co-operative approach (like the Jews throughout the world do in their host countries) leading to them being part of the Israeli hi-tech miracle - then anyone of them could have fully realize their true potential and who knows, maybe be like the founder of waze etc. Instead this rubbish of an article hints at the "occupation" as being the root cause of their current state of misery - like all the other leftist "humanitarians" and very concerned "activists"

individual's "articles"?! Even in the age of blogging & crap, there must be limit (lowest, acceptable threshold) of what kind of idiocy can see the light of day.Even for Leftist publication like yours!!!!!!!

Just like the Bezek guy who used his COMPANY CAR to ram into innocent victims... he was really acting out of financial desperation eh?

Spain/Greece have 45/50% youth unemployment of which the majority are high school educated & academics! Stop making apologies for these inhuman, sick, fanatic killers who's 'only care is politics for they were born, fed, brought up & groomed to hate/kill Israeli's/Jews! Those "poor Palestinians" hacking axes into wounded Israeli's were working for Israeli companies!!!! Mr. Fishman, stop writing BS!

we were kicking footballs and camping at that age,,what has the world come to?self appointed diagnosis,:is darwinism working or broken here.,

Imagaine how hopeless they will be after Israel annexes the West Bank.

too young to be working...and working at Bezeq is a job most Israelis would jump at! Being unemployed doesn't generally make you a psychopath ...there are long years of extreme incitement that have led to this situation.

In Greece and Spain the unemployment of the young people is about 50 %. While they demonstrate and in Greece they might riot, they will not stab and kill out of frustration.

I must say this article must be one of the wrongest articles I have ever read on Y Net.

You are something!!!! If Mandela and the other leaders of the ANC had "adopted a more co-operative approach" as you recommend, the non Whites in SA would still be living as second class citizens without basic human rights. Did you know that the Arab residents of Jerusalem cannot vote in elections for the Knesset?

Those young Palestinians are simply a result of recycling waste of nationalist and religious movements. All these movements have deepened hostility in our society, and have opposed the logic of axiom in this era. Their slogan "Pursue the Goal Using Any Method" People are tired of deception and empty slogans; they want the truth as it is, not as they would like it in their dreams or imagination. Human being should be both the goal, and the method; in fact, this should be the logo of any movements. But unfortunately this logo is missing in each clash between the Palestinian and Israeli forces. Why Human is offered as a price for everything, while nothing is paid? Why pay the price (Method), which will not achieve the (goal) -big or small? These nationalist and religious movements want us to believe and live in their victory after they failed to achieve it, so they have continued to lie until the Palestinians have swallowed their bitterly frustrated. Day after day the Palestinians realize that they are victims of deception and empty slogans and their sons who pay the price to raise those slogans. These nationalist and religious movements must be aware that the only correct method to achieve the Palestinian's goal is through diplomatic actions. And Israeli government on the other hand, must be aware that the united states veto will not be granted at all time if the peace has become limited. (Israel will agree to two state solution very soon)

If one of your loved ones gets stabbed, youre not gonna give a damn about the life story of the Muslim believer who stabs them. Besides, Islam and it's hatred for Israel, are the motivations for these stabbing crimes by Muslim believers. The psycho/social crap you mentioned has nothing to do with it.

Israel has had much more than enough of "Palestinians" and their conniving murderous ways. Give "Palestinians" hope for new lives elsewhere. In Jordan, where they belong and throughout the Arab world. Don't forget about the E.U. Its time to send hoards of "Palestinians" to the E.U. Let the E.U. live intimately with its beloved "Palestinians".

i dont know where this guy gets his information. The female terrorist in afula had a child, yes a mother and working on her masters. The terrorist in ranana yesterday worked at Levenstein Hospital. and the other terrorist from jerusalem yesterday worked for Bezeq.

Fakistinian guy commits a nationalistic murder? Kidnap all his young-female relatives, put them into sex slavery for our Army. There is nothing else that scares these Arabics. Let the Euro leftists piss & moan about it. The dogs may bark, but we will defend our country with whatever methods ACTUALLY WORK.
