1. I don't know Bobruisk from Minsk, but
Taxpayer ,   Haifa, Israel   (10.18.07)
I can tell you immigrants from that part of the world have certainly turned parts of Haifa into a pigsty. Bat Galim, Kiriat Eliezar, Hadar - all horrific versions of their former selves.
2. Jakshemesh! In our country we have problem...
Borat ,   Khazakstan   (10.18.07)
In Khazakstan we also have this very hard problem called the Jew. I tell all people of Belarus to run in fear for your life because the Jew he will eat you with his mouth.
3. What an a$$h--e!
shocked and appalled ,   USA   (10.18.07)
Anti-semites and their foul lies are the only thing that's truly filthy and dirty here. How convenient to blame his country's economic failures on a minority ethnic group! Nobody abroad with any wealth at all should want to invest in this crappy country with its backwards president. He is obviously a bad leader and a person of low character. Let him get the filth out of his rhetoric first before he demands that people clean up theirs!
4. Go to hell Lukashenko!!!!!!!!!
Israeli   (10.18.07)
You and you people are the dirty pigs. and what did you see when you were in Israel hah? It's one of the most beautiful countries in the world built by Jews. If your country is a hellhole you are to blame you dumbass. Jews only clean places. Look at Israel until we Jews regained it---there was nothing until we built it up. learn a lesson!
5. I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW SURPRISED I AM...
SETTHERECORDSTRAIGHT   (10.18.07)
I HAVE, AFTER ALL, BEEN LIVING UNDER A ROCK FOR THE LAST FEW CENTURIES AND HAVEN'T A CLUE AS TO ANTI-SEMITISM FROM THIS PART OF EUROPE. WHAT A STRANGE NOTION - HAHA. SERIOUSLY, WHAT DO WE EXPECT FROM THESE PEOPLE? AM YISRAEL: WAKE UP! THE WORLD DOESN'T LOVE US! ONLY G-D LOVES US. WE NEED TO SEEK HIS ACCEPTANCE, NOT THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE REST OF THE NATIONS. CAN'T YOU TAKE THE HINTS HASHEM IS GIVING US? WE NEED TO COME TOGETHER AND DO RIGHT BY HASHEM. WAKE UP! MI-YAD!
6. No where to go, he reminds the world not to forget him!!
KMR ,   Middle East   (10.18.07)
He need some publicity and choose this topic.
7. it could be the jews...
(10.18.07)
or it could be the years of neglect from the authorities... either way...
8. what does he mean "look at israel"?
(10.18.07)
Israeli cities looks 100 times better than Belarus' most beautiful city.i'm not saying it's perfect or lack of "downtowns" poor regions, but i can't help but wondering what cities he's been visiting.
9. Well, criticism from the leader of
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (10.18.07)
what is one of Europe's most under performing and backward states. I'd trust anything this man states given his countries stellar achievements. His time may be better spent trying to bring his country up to international standards instead of bashing the best efforts of other peoples who have achieved more in less time than most counties in the world.
10. Mr President
dan ,   ta,IL   (10.18.07)
The pig is you,and the pigstie is your country without the jews, by the way....the blood in the streets and in the forrests...is jewish blood,spilled by Belarussian fascist pigs. now sit booboo,sit. good dog!
11. He is right, unfortunately !
Iossef ,   J'lem   (10.18.07)
J'lem is dirty, and Israel too. It is not antisemitic to tell it, it's unfortunately the truth. -a jew who lives in J'lem
12. I get pissed off from people like these
Palestinian   (10.18.07)
who put all Jews on one side... Totally irrelevant... There are always good elements, and bad elements among all of us, Jews, Muslims, Christians, etc... This Black/White image of the world is a killer... The world is more colorful, but yet some insist to view it without its beauty!
13. sorry, but this is not anti-semitism
Murray ,   NYC   (10.18.07)
the places I have been to in Israel are absolutely filthy, cockroach-ridden and neglected, especially where the Russians reign. To eat in an eatery there is taking your life into your own hands - this has nothing to do with anti-semitism.
14. Belarus - a bad joke
Helena ,   Stockholm, Sweden   (10.18.07)
What is the point of Israel having an embassy in Belarus? I doubt Israel has any trade with Belarus as there hardly are any competitive goods to purchase. Having an embassy in such country is no merit for a democracy... and there is no hope whatsoever that Belarus will ever reach the standard of service in Israel no matter if there is Israeli embassy in the country or not.
15. At least he's not a hypocrite like some EU leaders
Semsem ,   New York, USA   (10.18.07)
I admire him. At least he's not a hypocrite like some European leaders like Zapatero, Monteneros, Mrs. Waldner and Solana and others.
16. Well..Did They ?
Andrew ,   Miami,FL   (10.18.07)
why would he say such a thing ?
17. answer to #8
Eric ,   Montreal   (10.18.07)
He probably visited the area where the Old Bust Station in Tel Aviv is. Have you ever been there? It is indeed a pigsty, full of prostitiutes, garbage, buildings in dismal state and other unspeakable stuff. I even so rats there on the streets. I often wondered how a city like Tel Aviv tolerates this. The whole area needs to be erased and rebuilt.
18. No more
Y.O ,   UK   (10.18.07)
I used to donate money to this country ....no more
19. Has anyone ever been to Bnei Brach...?
Shimon ,   Petach Tokva   (10.18.07)
20. They only wanted lukashenko to feel comfortable
jason white ,   afula,israel   (10.18.07)
he is a pig and a sty is where he belongs.
21. Where's Borat when we need him
bob ,   potomac md   (10.19.07)
for the anti-Semite, the Jew is either too rich or too poor, to spendthrifty or too cheap, to ofancy or too shabby, a commie or a Capitalist.
22. Belarus President = Real Life Borat
Izzy ,   NYC USA   (10.18.07)
The BelarusPrsident ia a real Life Borat. He probaably french kisses his sister, just like Borat.
23.  # 12 Palestinian
Ali ,   Gaza   (10.19.07)
They put them selves in one side, Jews came from every where in the world and gathered ,the black and the white , and put them selves in the opposite side !!
24. Unfortunatelly the Anti Semite is right
Drouch   (10.18.07)
The zhlob is right our cities are dirty. You don't have to go far the first exit from the airport. The city with inviting motto ....."The Gate of the State"..... Lod.
25. #13 - Murray....
Andy ,   ramat hasharon   (10.18.07)
I've been to NYC and there is plenty of DISGUSTING FILTH there. Talk about a nasty smelling, disgusting city. I was walking by the luxurious Plaza Hotel, owned by famous Donald Trump and couldn't believe the dozens of rats running around in and around the streets - right there in broad daylight. Open your eyes, not to mention your nose. I'll take Israeli standards over those in New York City any day.
26. This is good news
Myron E. ,   USA   (10.18.07)
because Israel is accumulating the kind of enemies any respectable person or country wouild be proud to have--the world's worst tyrants, dictators ,melaomaniacs:, and morons; Hugo Chavez, Ahamdinnerjacket, Jimmy Carter, Lukashenko, Assad, Kin Il Yong, Osama Bin Laden,Morales of Bolivia-the list goes on...
27. An Ignorant Peasant In A Suit - Read The Facts
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (10.18.07)
You can dress him up but Lukashenko is still an ignorant peasant for using his position to make statements like these. As some Talkbackers have commented, it's irrelevant whether Tel Aviv is dirty or not. Bobruisk has 55,000 Jews out of a population of 250,000. To blame the Jews - 22% of the population - for turning the city into a "pigsty" is unmitigated ignorance and veiled anti-semitism at worst. This moron owes Israel and the Belarusian Jews a public apology.
28. It's very interesting what he wants from us, Jews.
Ralph ,   US   (10.19.07)
In 1997 only 2,800 Jews remain in Bobruisk, most have emigrated to the US and Israel. By now I think only dead Jews left in the city of 200,000 people. So that all the s**t is Russian or Belorussian. http://tunkelfamilysite.com/bobruisk1.html
29. Constructive criticism is not an attack
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (10.19.07)
The Jews of Bobruisk and Israel have to make a greater effort not to neglect the places where they live, and to keep things clean. Cleanliness is next to G-dliness. I was very shocked to see the dirty filthy streets of Israel, and the poorly constructed buildings. When you love something, you take care of it. Hopefully, this will be a wakeup call.
30. Our country
vic ,   Haifa   (10.19.07)
Mr. Lukashenko is skunk, but, unfortunately, it cannot rescind the fact Israel looks as pig farm and the habitants work assiduosly to keep this status.
