1. Why he was not in a military?
Alex ,   Ariel   (07.02.19)
In a time our 19 yo kids are in an army this one prefer trash anything around. Attach innocent people and ask for the exceptional rights. Why skin color get them this rights?
2. It's Sad When Anyone Dies In Our Country
Proud Israeli   (07.02.19)
While I can't say I know more about the incident than what I read from the news, it is always unfortunate when killing is the only solution someone finds himself in. It is sad and unfortunate no matter who dies and what ethnicity he's from. That person has a family just like any of us; he has hopes and dreams like any of us; and he cares for people in his life just like any of us.

I have seen racist comments in other articles and that makes me sad that Israelis can think this way. I am proud to be Israeli because my country introduced technology and scientific breakthroughs to the world. We are a tiny country that has become a titan in technology and science. Please don't turn Israel into a racist and backwards country. This is not who we are.

We are a country composed of many ethnicities that love our country and contribute to it. Spreading hate only creates more unnecessary hatred towards our country. Do we not have enough enemies in the world that hate us? Do we really need to create more haters? We can win people for Israel rather than push them away. Do what is right for our country and represent Israel in the best moral way possible. If you love this country and want it to remain influential in the world then that is what you would do.
3. Does this newspaper have an editor?
Shimmy ,   Washington   (07.02.19)
"In Kiryat Ata Junction, police forces evacuated protesters who burned tiers and one major road there is currently blacked."

Hahaha
4. What's wrong with this sentence?
Shimmy ,   Washington   (07.02.19)
"In Kiryat Ata Junction, police forces evacuated protesters who burned tiers and one major road there is currently blacked."
5. Identity politics..race baiting ghetto burning..
Al   (07.02.19)
Welcome to America..

You've imported the very best of American life.

Happy future.

You got a sheartzeproblem.
6. We haven't heard the officer's complete narrative.
David ,   Hartford USA   (07.02.19)
Something tells me more happened than just what we're reading. I doubt a trained policemen would pull his weapon unless this fight was really out of control.

These cops aren't American, they're Israeli and they've already spent years in the IDF. They're used to being in dangerous situations. Let's find out what was really going on.

Looks like Israel already has its quota of Al Sharptons. Too bad.
7. Trayvon was faked maybe this as well, is there evidence?
NYC   (07.02.19)
8. BAD NEWS FOR ISRAEL. MORE PROBLEMS FOR THE COUNTRY.
EX-ISRAELI   (07.02.19)
WELCOME TO AMERICA. THE PROTESTORS ARE A RACE OF LAZY CRIMINALS. ISRAEL MADE A BIG MISTAKE BRINGING THEM TO ISRAEL.PRIMITIVE VIOLENT PEOPLE.
9. Protests rage throughout Israel
Maurice Mell ,   New York   (07.02.19)
If the Ethiopian's are not happy in Israel, fly them back to Ethiopia now.
10. As a New Yorker in Israel,these riots are making me homesick
David ,   Ashkelon ex NYC   (07.03.19)
11. A disgrace
Jez ,   Netanya   (07.03.19)
This is not fake news . I'm Israeli living in Israel and I've seen tonight's problems with my own eyes. The disgrace us Netanyahu. The problems confronting this community (and I'm not part of it) are and have been known for years and over the past 10 years Netanyahu has done nothing. What one doesn't do during ones first ten years in a job one is unlikely to do in future. It's time for the old man to move on
12. Be careful
(07.02.19)
Do not use violence to protest violence. Do not be brutal to protest brutality. Many of us understand your anger, but such violence will only turn the public against you...
13. What does Zionism mean?
Rich ,   Toronto   (07.03.19)
Jews coming back to Israel only to be inflicted with poverty, racist hatred, continuous wars and a low quality of life. On the Global Peace Index Israel is 146th place for peaceful living. Not very peaceful! Meanwhile, Canada is in 6th place, Switzerland is 11th place and Germany is 22nd place for living in peace. How could elite Jews, with all the power and money in the world, create such a poor country?
14. ThankYou Ethiopians! Reminder for GOV:Military coup is close
TheWall   (07.03.19)
15. Palestinians and Ethiopian Jews Should Form A Coalition
World Citizen ,   the world   (07.03.19)
Both groups are marginalized and treated as sub-humans by the Ashkenazim. Maybe together they could help bring change to the apartheid state of Israel.
16. AL , you are mistaken
CAPTAIN REALITY ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (07.02.19)
Even schwartzes get tired of being treated like crap.
17. ‘Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a video that
Ken   (07.03.19)
protesters around the country should stop blocking major roads, and that the problems the Ethiopian community is facing need to be solved while respecting the law.’
Strange sentence coming from a politician.
18. @ David, Hartford.
Birdi ,   Israel   (07.02.19)
The Hebrew press wrote the off duty police man shot into the air & the bullet bounced off the ground into the young man !!
