91. U2U, you call yourself Hi-tech but
John ,   NZ   (09.28.06)
your technology and mentality is stone-age.. medieval to say the least. You try to appease Islam but eventually you'll be another target for Islamic terrorism. It's country and ppl like you that makes Islamic terrorism so prevalent. We''ll boycott Belgium products to return your favour in kindness.
92. Boycott them
Pastaneta   (09.28.06)

93. U2U
Julia ,   Toronto, Canada   (09.28.06)
Don't be a dunky, I hope that many people like the owner of U2U will do the same, you deserve it!!
94. racist you!!
Julia ,   Toronto Canada   (09.28.06)
oh come on racist!!! And how many more palestinians were and are killed? There is not in off time to judge the criminals!!!! Judges for murdering 4 palestinians!! and the other millions of Palestinians? You jews never accept the trush, you always say, Oh they are racist, they don't like us, bla bla bla bla, the logic is the logic, why does lthe world boycoting you? Hating you? Make a question to yourself!!
95. Arrogant
Julia ,   Toronto Canada   (09.28.06)
So israel has invented everything? You are very intelligent.The rest of the world are dunky, right? I am laughing, really!! You are so arrogant, you never want to accept your faults, wake up, you are not the best!!
96. U2U kicks out Israeli business - for cause.
TheAZCowBoy ,   Tombstone, AZ., USA   (09.28.06)
The Jewish 'Zio/Lepers' should be avoided at all costs by the decent countries of the world. For a people that are always crying "Holocaust" and "Anti-Semite," they are a disgrace to all the decent Torah Jews of the world. Then they commit their own holocaust on a downtrodden Palestinian people that don't even have an army to defend them and are also "semitic" people - Israel is certainly no "Light unto the Nations." Zionism = "The 'diablo' in Judiasm" Hezbollah = The best thing since dried tomato bagals and an ice cold Corona! G. W. Bush = The best case for never hiring a "C" student to run your country. Hugo Chavez = "Macho Man" - with a tongue of fire - ask "El Diablo," why doncha? :) TheAZCowBoy Tombstone, AZ. dba: IDidntVote4TheBassTerd@msn.com
97. Boycott
humpty diego ,   Pittsburgh, USA   (09.28.06)
thanks Miri for the address, so I can send this company a thank you for having convictions that oppose war crimes & appartheid. I didn't have to read too many comments before spotting the dreaded charge of "antisemtitism." I disagree that this is antisemitism; why is every call for justice for the palestinians met with a charge of antisemitism?
98. The Belgians are the pollocks of Europe.
Steven Wilson ,   Anchorage, Alaska   (09.28.06)
Everyone caps on Belgium. If it has anything to do with being a numb nuts, Belgium gets blamed for it. High Tech in Belgium is a rocket made from a napkin, rolled up into a tube, and lit at the top. The rocket burns all the way to the bottom and becomes lighter than air ash, which takes off into the sky. Belgian Rocket Scientists will rule the world after they figure out Israeli's are living under Apartheid. They have to put up walls to keep out all the Arab terrorists on the Arabian Penninsula. So if they let in all the Muslims, they could be converted by the sword, and live happily ever after as prisoners of Muslim Extremists! You go Belgium!!!!
99. boycott
America   (09.28.06)
boycott computers? which israeli inventor designed the first one? more eyes are opening to the lies of the zionist israelis and the influenece of such here in the states. soon that influence will be flushed away again and a free republic with gentile law will prevail.
100. really?
A dork from Jersey ,   USA   (09.28.06)
Buy a dictionary and see what it says about anti-Semitism. It is specifically hate or prejudice against JEWS. As for your other comment about Russians and NJers not being Semitic, we'll talk once you find a Romanian soldier who skinned your grandpa alive for being a very Semitic Jew!
101. Belgium and Diamond
Lio ,   NY   (09.28.06)
2 reasons you should be careful in what you are saying about Belgium: while Belgium is a small country, there is a 40,000 Jewish community living there; and the diamond trade between Israel and the city of Antwerp represents a significant chunk of both economies GDP. check your facts before you make scuh statements
102. The world couldn't live without Israel!
Daisy ,   USA   (09.28.06)
I'm not Jewish but I support Israel for all their innovations. If the Jew-haters would really boycott Israel they wouldn't be using their computers, cellphones, certain medicines, or have certain medical procedures etc. Go ahead and realy boycott Israel I dare you to. http://www.Israel21C.com
103. And # 66, that's another reason Israel is looked down on
Cadavre ,   US   (09.28.06)
Every piece of technology Israel has "modified" turns into stealth system spyware and root kits. Zone Alarm - Israeli re-code of existing firewall technology - found to install and make available intentional exploits. RootKit SONY BMG - anothe fine Israeli re-make. Checkpoint - an Israeli interface that allowed personal data of millions of Americans to be stolen. Even Israelis PIs have been busted for intalling these kinds of exploits on Desktops. My advice - as a guy who knows - is that any branded Israeli COMs (Common Object Modules) are spy ware - all of them - and anyone using Israeli software will have their system exposed to data theft or used to mask criminal IP addresses. Comverse's bust is more than stock fraud - they also were involved in the theft of data. PTECH, MITRE - the Israeli Maintenance (not inventor) firms are the ones that graced DoD computers will full administrative access with a blank password! The only thing Israel exports is war, Extasy and White Slaves. Israel was caught again corrupting a Naval officer, Wienmann - he was Jewish - now he's just a criminal in the brig. Any technology Israel offers fails (as it did in Lebanon) fails or illegally exploits the intended unwitting users. Go ahead - slap some Israeli software on your computer - I'll be inn your desktop in a New York Minute. Even Dead Sea Kosher salt is stolen from Palestinian resources. Ignorance and corruption is not something to brag about no matter how it's packaged. The only thing Israel invents is this mythology that somehow they are smarter than everyone else. If Israel is so smart - then why are you having to defend Israel with false representations of commercial greatness? Israel is Jihad bait for US war bankers - that is all Israel is.
104. Don't confuse Jews with Israel
Cadavre ,   US   (09.28.06)
#72 - Yes - Israelis invented everything. Now do you fell better. Is that systemic inadequacy complex relieved? The pentium was an extension of the Intel 80-80 cip. Jews are parishioners of a church - they are not the "master race". Isee black Jews, brown Jews white Jews - I see no Jewish race - I see parishioners of a church. Why put powder on your face when none is required? Why lie yourself into what your are trying to avoid - irrevelancy - inadequacy - less than human. The more you grope for the imagined rung of superiority the more you diminish yourselves. This is humerous. It is a short description of a date with a girl who declared Isaac Neuton was a Jew! Many of you sound this way. We all see it. We are polite - but this complex is conditioned - it can be repaired - it only harms you (and others). http://www.network54.com/Forum/145962/thread/1154625921/last-1154625921/What%20about%20Jews%20who%20think%20the%20same%20or%20worse%20as%20Mel%20Gibson-
105. you just don't get it
leonard ,   LA- USA   (09.28.06)
JEW is a religion. Juda is a tribe in Israel. Israel is also a tribe but are missing and not is Israel. There are many of them but they are unknown. Soon you will know. Get it?
106. History Repeating
Sammy ,   USA   (09.28.06)
Its interesting how history repeats. Just to think it was barely 65 or so years ago that the Europeans started attempting to correct problems stemming from the same intrenched, stiffnecked, self rightous attitudes diplayed by a small petty and pittiful group of vagabond outcasts, that cullminated in the creation of that abomination in the palestine. I can see shades of the past repeating, and the world is starting to awaken to that reality. Its just a matter of time now.....
107. cadavre
Alex ,   USA   (09.28.06)
cadavre, Helmut Kohl didn't say what you claim he said. Jacques Chirac didn't say that about Israel. Seems like you live in a redneck town since if you read newspapers you'd know that it was a French Ambassador to UK. As for Iran - it is a country that is predominantly Persian. Persians aren't Semites and are not Arabs. Don't know where you got the 10b - your imagination I guess. Most of the 3b of US aid is spent on US products. As for the unemployment - it is lower than in France and most Europe. Israeli airports on the verge of banrcuptsy ? 6 months without pay ? Please check your facts before making nonsense statements.
108. justification of boycott

109. U2U thanks for your guts and decency
Dove   (09.28.06)
1 Democratic countries have a constitution (Israel not) 2 You are surrounded by friends, if you want to 3 You have the only real democracy rigth above the north border !! 4 Nice to notice there are still some decent western companies, who still have some moral guts. (btw microsoft is really a "258 tree", and is inherently insafe, is it because of Israeli ?)
110. to 49 Anna
Dove   (09.28.06)
"Leave us alone" uuh shouldn't you live in Israel? What are you doing in Canada as a zionist, distabelizing the country ?? I don't have anything against people who see themself as what is called a jew, but you are clearly a zionist, so please leave Canada!
111. RE: 18. It is antisemitism
partydamo ,   dublin   (09.28.06)
how exactly is a company calling a spade (war crimes) a spade (cluster bombing civilians, deliberately targeting and killing red cross workers, etc, etc.) anti-semitism? you know, maybe, just maybe, israel should stop: a. killing innocent civilians in response to attacks on their MILITARY, and; b. tarring everyone with the broad brush-stroke of "anti-semite" when they legitmately criticise flagrant violations of international law by a state just a suggestion... one can criticise the state of Israel without being an anti-semite or does that make me an anti-semite?
112. Not invented in Israel
Sammy ,   USA   (09.28.06)
It is astounding the degree of self delusion that some people can display. I guess that the entire modern world must have been invented in Israel... except that any informed person knows that it was not. The Microprocessor (which a pentium is) was invented by Ted Hoff, Robert Noyce (inventor of the integrated circuit - or- computer chip) and others, all Americans (and none were jews) at Intel, an American company. Pentiums may have had some of the manufacturing process or even development in Israel, but that is not the same as saying that it was invented there, or "by Israelis". If this is the case, then it follows since there is an General Motors assembly plant in Mexico, that we should understand that the automobile was invented by Mexicans. The cell phone was INVENTED and developed in the Nordic countries (Sweden and Finland), and by Motorola (again an American country). Again, not by Israelis. BTW, the piss-ant country of Israel was itself Invented by Zionists from Europe and America, so you owe your very existance to the same countries you are now calling a boycott on. Virtually all other technology in use today was NOT invented in Israel. It is a small mind that must cling to these delusional myths in order to feel that you matter... get a life.
113. VISITING BELIGUM IS LIKE BEING IN HELL.
DEBRA ,   USA   (09.28.06)
WHEN I WENT THERE ON VACATION ALL THE PHARMACIES WERE CLOSED BECAUSE THEY WERE ON STRIKE, SO I COULDN'T EVEN GET AN ASPIRIN FOR MY COLD. THE TAXI DRIVER CHARGED ME OVER $100 USD FOR A RIDE FROM THE AIRPORT TO MY FRIEND'S HOUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF BRUSSELS. I TOLD HIM I WAS GOING TO REPORT HIM TO THE POLICE FOR OVERCHARGING ME. HE SAID HE WOULD DRIVE AWAY WITH MY SUITCASE WHICH WAS LOCKED IN HIS TAXI'S TRUNK. WHAT AN INCREDIBLY DREADFUL COUNTRY.
114. #19
Shlomo ,   USA   (09.28.06)
Not all Jews believe in the posts on this site. I'll probably be labeled a self hating Jew, but what the Israeli Zionist regime is doing is obvious to the rest of the world.
115. Isn't it obvious this was linked to on an Anti-Israel site?
Christian Bianrossa ,   NJ, USA   (09.28.06)
Since when are there so many Israel-bashers posting at once at YNET, a JEWISH newspaper? Besides for the leftists (Zeropeans), Neo-Nazis and Arab apologies most people stand with Israel in their war against Islamofascism. And the fake Jewish names insulting Israel are really transparent. GIve it a rest fellas, we weren't born yesterday!
116. Nazi Arab Sammy; The only pissy countries are the Arab ones.
Daisy ,   USA   (09.28.06)
Your people can only invent bombs to kill women and children. That is so special. Get out of my country terrorist jerk! You will end up like the Nazis in hell!
117. Belgium doesn't buy tanks or bombs
simon ,   london   (09.28.06)
AFAIK the only high tech gear that Israel sells is to bomb or shoot or kill defenceless people, can't see Belgium being too bothered by that, as i can't remember Belgians ever starting a war for no reason against a country that couldn't fight back.
118. According to this site, Jews invented everything!
gary ,   london   (09.28.06)
Lots of knee-jerk responses on this site to what is after all a minor issue, much like killing a thousand civilians to get back 2 soldiers, oh hold on, that's right, you didn't even manage to get those guys back either.
119. Jews support U2U
Paul ,   Sydney Australia   (09.28.06)
I am a jew. I was in Lebanon... I saw what we did. I agree that we should hurt a little for what we have done to so many for so long. We may lose a few busks.. but we have our lives.
120. boycott ing israel is fair and needs to be done
rt ,   UK   (09.28.06)
otherwise you will never learn the crimes you are commiting and the holocausts you back. anti semitism you will shout..nope, just anti zionist facist racist views such as yours and your USA wagging tail of dogs
