1. Throw the book at the little wench
Noodles   (01.09.18)
Barnea's prattling only perpetuates the false Palestinian narrative.
2. nothing brave about her
tiki ,   belgium   (01.09.18)
She's nothing but a brainwashed child groomed to be a brainwashed adolescent and brainwashed to become a future brain dead terrorist.

Her luck is that she has been arrested by Israel who might try to change the damage done to her by her criminal parents & school tutors.

Israel should change tactics and indict these 'educators' for child abuse and reeducate the children in special facilities with special programs to undo the parental & educational damage.
3. Palestinian
howiej ,   U.S.A.   (01.09.18)
The author is as much a "Palestinian" as the Tamimi family. A "Palestinian" is a person living within the area of the geographical area called "Palestine". The difference in sentences may be due to the fact that the Israel falls under Israeli law while a non-citizen of Israel in an area not part of Israel does not.
4. Send her to university - on the house
MadDad ,   Johannesburg   (01.09.18)
Let the wench study drama
5. Barnea once again proves why the term "Judeo-Quisling", or
(01.09.18)
simply "IDIOT" applies to him so well......
6. Idiocy...
yosef ,   florida-israel   (01.09.18)
The Only thing "opinion" showed is the yakety-yak mediocrity, perhaps outright idiocy of much Israeli public news media....
7. Too bad some rich arab sheik doesn't trade a few goats
(01.09.18)
for Ahed Tamimi and bring her into his harem. Apparently at 17 she is past her prime to be used as breeding stock. Guess she'll just have to fulfill her dream of becoming a martyr...asap.
8. White elephant comments for Al Jesira
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto -Kiriat Gat   (01.09.18)
Barnea why you waste your time and other because your senility, still don't get it, politics is not your stronger side, try Yafa Yarconi !!!!
9. Ahed Tamimi is 16 years old
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor   (01.09.18)
A correction to Nahum Barnea's article is called for. Ahed Tamimi was born on 30 March 2001. She is therefore 16 years old. She is a child, but not the only Palestinian child, languishing in Israeli jails. In a democracy worthy of its name children are not thrown in prison.
There is one law for Jewish children and one for Palestinian children. Israel is holding dozens of Palestinian children in prison, something that would never happen to Jewish children.
Just one of the many examples that show that Israel is an apartheid state.
10. Obviously Pals immigrated just like the Israeli Jews.
Zippy's Used Cars ,   Levittown, NY   (01.09.18)
11. But the Hareidim's can throw rocks
Vered, Israel   (01.09.18)
at our soldiers, and an "investigation" (not) will be started. Why does no one get that the brainwashed mobs in back and white are far more dangerous to our State than any Palestinian kid. One day, mark my word, a soldier will be murdered by a Hareidim's mob
12. Palestinian minors, i.e. held in Israeli jails
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor   (01.09.18)
At the end of Nov. 2017, 313 Palestinian minors were held in Israeli prisons as security detainees and prisoners, including 2 administrative detainees. Another 9 Palestinian minors were held in Israel Prison Service facilities for being in Israel illegally. The IPS considers these minors – both detainees and prisoners – criminal offenders.
In addition, a small number of minors are held in IDF-run facilities for short periods of time.
These are figures provided by the Israeli military and the Israeli Prison Service to B'selem, the Israeli human rights organisation.
For a country that calls itself the "only democracy in the Middle East" that is a badge of shame.
13. Fictional "Palestine" exists thanks to mad Israeli support
Chaim ,   Israel   (01.09.18)
"Palestinians" harm Israel in every humanly possible way. Yet the mad flow of Israeli food, money, materials, electricity, work permits etc. keeps flowing. Israeli support is all that keeps the abomination afloat. This insane support won't end till enough Israelis DEMAND it end!
14. N. BARNEA: GOOD, SOLID INTELLIGENT ARTICLE...
Rafi ,   US   (01.09.18)
it has to be - because the right-wing hate mongers are whining about it...
15. That is not bravery
Martin ,   huntingdon UK   (01.09.18)
Can you imagine her attempting this againstHamas or Hezbullah, let alone a German Nazi during WW". She wouild have been shot.
She knows the IDF have a stronger set of morals.
Those Israelis campaign fdor our enemies should be campaigning f
or the release of Israelis still held by Hamas in Gaza.
16. Barnea is Israel’s “humiliation “ UGH!
AltaZakenBarnea ,   Jerusalem   (01.10.18)
17. Ms. Tamimi refuses to accept occupation. She has the right.
Michael ,   California, USA   (01.10.18)
We cannot disrespect the activist Ms. Tamimi. But we must also understand the Israeli legal system. She is a leader among her people bringing up injustices. The legal system must enforce the law in the territories, as set by the lawmakers. And the Israeli legal system MUST MAKE SURE nothing criminally wrong happens to hurt Ms. Ahed Tamimi

In his excellent comment, Mr. Barnea explains the events as well as the historical and legal backgrounds. It is an analysis every Israeli should read: clear, well balanced, effective and objective. And the effort is successful as it will convince any open-minded person. Once again Nahum Barnea shines as the star of Israeli journalism.
18. Nothing Imbecile Barnea writes is worth a moment reading
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.10.18)
19. blonde hair
eddie ,   cape town   (01.12.18)
Blond hair certainly means she has not been in that part of the world for very long. Her parents may even have arrived there long after Ben Gurion.
So she could be well described as a colonialist.-
Where else could she come from ??
After all does arab media not harp on the description of Zionists as "blonde europeans" ??
Why has this fact never been mentioned by Hazbarah ?
This fact is material for future Hazbarah.
