"Two of [DiCaprio's] security guards were arrested by police after being involved in a fight that broke out," said Micky Rosenfeld, a police spokesman, to Reuters. "They are being questioned."

2. Frigging leaches, the paparazzi. They can't even have respect for the holiest site in Israel, can they? What, were they waiting outside the mouth of the tunnels to accost Leo and Bar as they exited? They deserve whatever the bodyguards gave them!

13. Celebrities get over paid and this is the price for fame. Celebrities desperately want to be famous and then when they become famous, they hate it because of the paparazzi. Why is it some famous stars deal with the paparazzi and they never have a problem? Because they understand that this is part of fame. Deal with the paparazzi DiCaprio.

14. #11; Most Israelis couldn't care less about Leo and his slutty draft-dodging sex toy Bar. The media is making a big deal about it not the citizens of Israel. Leo is a whiny little baby who needs to get his ass kicked. The Paps are only doing their job!

15. In my opinion, Leo should fire these bodyguards.

Attacking photographers or paparazzi or whoever they were is no better that photographers harrassing famous people.

ALso, if these photographers were just trying to take pics of Leo and his current model girlfriend Bar why should they be attacked by people Leo pays? Leo has been superfamous since Titanic..that was almost 10 years ago. He makes $25 million per movie..tell me how horrible he has it on a vacation with a girlfriend if photographers want to take his photo with her? Does he really think the general public feels sorry if his privacy is intruded on when he makes that kind of money and gets to do and see places most people never will?

Other celebrities date people and travel places without causing photographers to get beat up or attacked by paid bodyguards of the celebrities. How come it's only a few who try to make it seem their privacy is so intruded on by trying to run from photographers. In my opinion, the response Leo and his bodyguards have to people taking photos doesn't garner a lot of sympathy for said celebrity when people are hurt or cameras are destroyed by paid bodyguards. Not many people feel sorry for globe trotting millionaire celebrities who complain that they don't want their photo taken with their girlfriend. Also, in my opinion, not much respect given to the other people around them or the holiness of the site with this kind of outbreak of behavior. Again, Leo should fire his bodyguards and the photographers should be reimbursed by Leo for the cameras that his bodyguards damaged or destroyed.

Leo needs to learn to deal with this..it's way past time for a little growing up in my opinion.
