61. I support the boycott
Thomas Mc ,   Colorado Springs, US   (09.27.06)
I will definitely support any company that boycotts Israel for its war crimes in Lebanon and crimes against humanity in Palestine.
62. Anna # 49 - Israel is only a threat to Israelis
Cadavre ,   US   (09.27.06)
Israel has no power - AIPAC is not an Israeli Lobby - AIPAC is a lobby for Arms Dealers - Israel is a loss leader and market maker for US War Bankers - thats all Israel is - that's all Israelis will allow themselves to be. Let's see how Israel does without the 10 Billion / year gift from US taxpayers. Let's see. Israel is paid to provoke Arab reaction so the US congress will earmark a half trillion a year in defense appropriations for this phoney baloney war on Terror. If Israel is so great why were public service employees in Israel not recieving pay checks for 6 motnths. Why is unemployment higher than most third world countries - Why are Israeli airports on the verge of bankruptcy - Why were Israeli banks not covering "checks" signed by the Israeli government. Why? Israel is in over it's head. That's why! Reason can solve the the problem. A mass tongue chanting down the nothingness glory path of Mosada will [also] solve the problem. With or without Israel - the world will still spin. Grow up - this "they hate us because we are better than them" is a ruse for the weak minded. Open your eyes - Israel is on the brink - either Israel resolves the outstanding issues in a civilized and legal manner - or Israel "lemings" jump off the cliff like the self indulgent residents of Mosada did. Josephus' children will be laffing all the way to the bank. The future is in your hands. Be human - or be nothing. All the self-righteous hyperbole in the world will not change the only options Israel has. As Jacque Chirac said "Israel is a sh*ty little country". As Helmit Kole said of Iranian President's Ajad remarks, " ..he said what was in our hearts". The rutty rot of death wafting over the aparthied walls around Palestine is not the smell of victory - it is the smell of Israeli moral decay. When it reaches the heart - Israel will be no more. Think about it - google it - save Israel - not your false sense of self respect.
63. Bravo to U2U!
Beth-Aviva ,   USA   (09.27.06)
The Ashkenazim who came to the USA around the turn of the 20th century were enormously different to the zionists who thought nothing of dispossessing the innocent Palestinian people based on greed and religious mythology. The Jews who came to the USA, many of them socialists, enriched the USA and world beyond measure and we their descendents continue to do that today. The zionists, however, commit one aveyrah after another, every day. They have recreated Apartheid, and continue to hope that they can implement their own Endlösung to sweep free the land they stole from its rightful inhabitants. The world is gradually awakening to what is really going on in Palestine, and I fear for our people around the world. We should all bensh gomel every day in which nothing worse happens than a worldwide refusal to do business with zionism. You who are Jews should recall Talmud: who can protest a wrong and does not, is an accomplice in the act. And Rav Hillel: where there is no righteousness, strive to be righteous.
64. Anti Boycott Laws
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (09.27.06)
If they are selling microsoft products I wonder if they are breaking US anti boycott laws? By the way they do make chocolate let's boycott their chocolate I am sick of these moral imperialist in Europe
65. Lots of Anti israel Idiots today
Sam Weinstein ,   USA   (09.27.06)
Lots of Anti Israel Idiots today sounds like this group is somewhat organized just to many anti Israel talkbacks for one article not to be suspicious.
66. 4 CADAVRE
(09.27.06)
I LOVE YOUR NAME. VERY APPROPRIATE. I SPEAK FRENCH SO I KNOW THAT YOUR NAME MEANS "CORPSE" IN ENGLISH.AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, YOU ARE BRAIN -DEAD FOR WRITING WHAT YOU WROTE. BY THE WAY, NEXT TIME YOU USE THE GOOGLE TECHNOLOGY,FIREWALL,CELL PHONE AND THE LIST GOES ON- THINK THAT THOSE THINGS WERE ALL INVENTED BY ISRAELIS. MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE DO WITHOUT THEM. YOUR SARCASM IN YOUR WRITING IS PATHETIC. YOU DEMONSTRATED THAT YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT WHAT ISRAEL IS ABOUT. PITY.
67. 60
(09.27.06)
"BOMBING PEOPLE REALLY PISSES THEM OFF" I GUESS LAUNCHING THOUSANDS OF KATIUSHA ROCKETS AT PEOPLE(IN ISRAEL) DOES NOT PISS THEM OFF. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR HYPOCRISY, ALONG WITH THEM.
68. 65, Sam
(09.27.06)
I agree. Lots of anti-Israel idiots here today. Their ignorance of what's really going on is overwhelming.
69. 36
(09.27.06)
Rid the world of your filth, rather. You are wasting your hate-mongering crap on an Israeli site.
70. anti-Israel Idiots?
israeli ,   israel   (09.28.06)
Perhaps, but I think these are paid propagandists. Just that. And yes, cadaver means corpse - caro data vermibus (Latin) flesh offered to the worms. Stinking rotten!
71. U2U, throw away yor Pentium computers
John ,   NZ   (09.28.06)
Pentium chip was invented by Israelis. Yor boycott of Israel attack on Lebanon also means you advocate Hizbollah rocket attack on Israel. Your manager Whimp Yotra is a pimp for terrorism.
72. dear friends
andy ,   Ljubljana, Slovenia   (09.28.06)
Have a capucciono, enjoy life. Yes, you are the chosen ones, have the highest IQ, you are the oldest tribe on planet earth and yes you were there before all others, and yesyes you ARE the greatest of all and everything. But all things pass and so will state terorism, racism, apartheid, war crimes, theft of land, armed robbery... (we name it, you got it) HAVE to stop one day... In the meantime, read some Hannah Arendt
73. Bob,#33; Why are you using Zionist technology?
Daisy ,   USA   (09.27.06)
If you were really boycotting Israeli than you wouldn't be using your computer etc. etc. Throw away your computers now!
74. Who gives a shit about Belgium?
Alex ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.28.06)
Seriously, it's a small country with nothing but tourism contributing to the economy, no one would notice if all of belgium started boycotting Israel.
75. # 18, Arabs are semitic
Cadavre ,   US   (09.28.06)
So doing business with Arabs cannot be considered "anti-semitic". The president of Iran is Semitic. Russians are not Semitic - dorks from Jersy are not Semitic!
76. 61
(09.27.06)
That means that you are in support of a terrorist organization who started this war and who was launching thousands of rockets at innocent Israelis. You make me sick. Are you sure you are an American?
77. Betyu U2U is a pisspot Company.Do they make Chocolate?
Alan ,   SA   (09.27.06)
78. #4 adding to #23
Josh ,   USA   (09.28.06)
It goes to show you how ignorant you are, I wonder what an anti-semite like you does for your country. Adding to what #23 said, US Jews also constitute over half of the US billioners and bring to you all the best movies, when we constitue only 7 million in the US. Also to mention, if a Jew named Solomon during the Revolutionary War hadn't contributed much of the money that went to Washington's Army out of his own pockets and never did receive back the USA would have lost the war. As for my family both of my grandfathers served in WWII and my father in Vietnam as a Lieautenant. I wonder what your family or you did for this country?
79. #62 ignorant Cadarvy
josh ,   USA   (09.28.06)
For your information the whole unemployment thing of third world countries. Around 20 percent of Israels population is Israeli Arab which constitutes much of their unemployment, and as for your whole ignorant ideology, what did we do to deserve the Holocaust, I think your answer would be that Hitler and the Nazis were jealous of how successful the Jews were am I correct? What else did we do to the world? And since you fancy google so much google all the cotributions Jews and Israel have given to the world and Israel is all ways the first to help countrys in crisis like the tsunami last year and yet people like you hate us so much? Why ? Admit you are jealous of us. There is not other explaination. If you are so jealous get a education and do something positive for the world!!!
80. Boycott os Israli products
John Nettles ,   Ridgecrest,USA   (09.28.06)
It is about time some one stood up to this Racist group. I know that not all off Isralies are racist,but the ones running things seem to be.
81. Israli Boycott
John Nettles ,   Ridgecrest,USA   (09.28.06)
daisy. You have been dreaming,Arabs have contributed more to medecine than Israel ever will.
82. Boycott
Michael ,   Ausralia   (09.28.06)
Sensitive lot, you Zionists. Vicious too, smearing other nations,irrelevent historical references, (did U2U take part in the colonisation of the Congo?). Guilty conscience? Grow up, stop using the holocaust as a permit to abuse human rights (the gypsies, homosexuals, socialists and Russians don't, and they were victims too), and stop screaming anti-semitism whenever you are critiscised.
83. USU
Jim Meddle ,   Sydney, Australia   (09.28.06)
Damn, I wish there were more companies around with USU's level of integrity. The world would be reformed overnight.
84. Boycott
Jarrod ,   Sydney Australia   (09.28.06)
I'm support the boycott of Israel and am throwing in America as well for their support in the recent slaughter of 1000 innocent Lebanese civillians as well as many nobel hisbolla resistence fighters.
85. To #48
Alex ,   Australia   (09.28.06)
Don't try to tell me that Belgians are beyond reproach over WWII or the Congo. My grandfather's factory in Brussels was taken by the Nazi's and their Belgian sympathisers and my aunts and uncles had to flee ahead of the Nazie and their friends so get your head into some history books and you will not be so arrogant about your country.
86. War Crimes?
Ski ,   Roswell, USA   (09.28.06)
Belgians are probably cowtowing to radical islamic demands under threats of harm rather than helping defeat terrorism. They will be next if they don't open their eyes. Much of what the media showed during the conflict was staged for dramatic effect. i.e. clean dust free dolls where bombs were alledged to have exploded, and much more.
87. balls
manyook ,   vienna   (09.28.06)
well, some people have balls to speak out... call child murderers what they are: child murderers!
88. to cadvre US
jj ,   montreal canada   (09.28.06)
You are a hypocrite. You are oviously not boycotting Israely products since you used your computer for this post. Most of the technology was developed in Israel. I dare you to give up your computer and cell phone, than you can talk about boycotts.
89. Seek cooperation from these
NTI ,   Red Chili   (09.28.06)
countries; India, China, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, South Korea. They will not interfere with your struggle against those muslim criminals, in fact, at least India, Singapore and Thailand may be secretly supporting and appreciate your efforts against stupig muslims. Example of aparthied, look no further than Malaysia and Indonesia. Lee Kuan Yew of tiny Singapore has just pointed that out. Thank you, Singapore. http://www.malaysia-today.net/Blog-n/2006/09/lively-debate-in-malaysian-press-over.htm
90. Boycott U2U
Jess ,   Suriname   (09.28.06)
