31. I didn't know GB had a Department of Jewish Affairs
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (03.10.08)
Funny, how come he was banned without even applying? Is there a Jewish desk in Foreign Affairs, looking for undesirable Jews to add to their blacklist? Britain, will reap what it sows--remember that the most popular boys name there is now mohammed.
32. Dont Bother coming to the UK Feiglin
Ambrosine Shitrit ,   uk ( for my sins)   (03.10.08)
This comes as no suprise to the Jewish people here in the UK, that the Foreign office is Anti Israeli. It is getting worse, here in the UK, with anti Jewish feeling, but with the Foreign office getting into peoples Politics and thoughts, it has become nothing less here than a haven for terroists, and radical Arab sympathisers. Oh yes, Hizbollah members, Radical Arab clerics are allowed to come here with ease, as guests of Ken Livingstone, but that is fine with the UK Foreign Office as they are anti Israeli and promote the destruction of Israel, and promote putting bombs on the backs of children to kill Jews, but that is okay to the UKForeign Office. This comes as no suprise at all, and is a highly dangerous move on the part of the Foreign Office and to the Pro Israeli Jews living in this country. Israel has been on the Foreign Office list of "countries not to visit" even during peaceful times. Why is that? Why do the Foreign office not allow the Queen to visit Israel, even though she is the Head of the Church of England? The Foreign office in my eyes is an evil entity supporting Arab Terroism and turning a blind eye to its rhetoric. So, Mr Feiglin dont even bother to think about coming here, for I am very soon going to wave goodbye to the UK, and all its support of crimes against the Jewish people, and say hello to Israel who at least trys to protect its citizens as best they can against Arab terroists, and doesnt invite them to have tea and cake whilst children are getting blown up.
33. UK Supports Terrorism
margot ,   texas, usa   (03.10.08)
During my trips to Europe in the past ten years, I have intentionally skipped the UK and will continue to do so, along with boycotting all products and entertainment from the UK. The people in the UK have made it clear that they support any harm against Israel, including terrorism. I support a resolution of the conflict between the Palestinian people and the people of Israel, but would never turn a blind eye to the obvious injustices and harm toward Israel. This recent act is just another slap in the face.
34. B/c of the London bombings?
Carrie ,   Los Angeles, CA   (03.10.08)
So they are appeasing Islamofanatics by barring Israeli politicians? Interesting.
35. Feiglin's response was neither childish nor silly.
Raymond from DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (03.10.08)
I, for one, am tired of the apologetic, defensive, "please like me" attitude of Israel's leadership. The UK's letter demonstrated their arrogance and moral posturing toward Israel, and deserved an "in your face" response. Feiglin challenged that British arrogance with proud defiance. As Melanie Phillips shows quite clearly in "Londonistan", the UK can no longer be counted on as a pillar of Western values and civilization. While they bar people like Feiglin, and threaten to arrest honorable IDF officers for "war crimes", they grant asylum and welfare to advocates of terrorism. The sun *has* set on the British Empire. And it's soon "lights out" for the England we once knew.
36. MAYBE IF THE OXFORD UNION DEBATING SOCIETY INVITED HIM,THIN
ROLAND SEENER ,   LONDON ENGLAND   (03.10.08)
ENGLISH UNFAIRNESS...""THIS ISN'T CRICKET "",YOU KNOW !
37. How about boycotting englandistan?
jason white ,   afula,israel   (03.10.08)
Stop tourist visas from that new islamic state!
38. Britain! WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE!
Brian ,   Anywhere but britain   (03.10.08)
Don't waste your time with Britain! The country is finished! Nothing to see, nothing to eat, bad weather, miserable-looking people, but...hey...they still have a stiff upper lip!!! Ahahaha...poor people!
39. Feiglin is 100% correct.
Mark ,   USA   (03.10.08)
The BBC's chief goal is aimed at encouraging and supporting terror throughout the world.
40. The British hate Jews
Mark ,   Boston   (03.10.08)
They only like Jews in ovens and in gas chambers!
41. British Broadcasting Cespool
Mark ,   USA   (03.10.08)
42. pure antisemitism
uli ,   jerusalem   (03.10.08)
43. While I don't support Feiglin's policies...
Tahl ,   Israel   (03.10.08)
The British government has managed quite a feat: turning me, a moderate Israeli who never espoused Feiglin's policies, into sympathizing and siding with Feiglin here. We may differ on internal issues, but to the outside world, we are all connected together. I think Feiglin can indeed view this letter as a complement. And his response was eloquent, cynical and beautiful. I couldn't have said it better myself!
44. Feiglin, my choice for next PM
moshe ,   ashkelon, israel   (03.10.08)
Moshe Feiglin, we need you here!! You will get my vote for Prime Minister in thenext elections, that's for sure.
45. GOOD FOR YOU BRITAIN!!
Jewish CANADIAN ,   Toronto   (03.10.08)
Fascistic racists-even if Jewish-should be ostracised by all civilised nations,Oh anf btw the Muslim population of the UK is about 2pc of the total.In Israel its 20pc,Include the fantasy of "Greater Israel"and its well over 40pc.So whos in trouble?? Britain will be fine.Keep the occupation and Israel is doomed.
46. Feiglin is stating the obious naive mindset of the.....
Psalms 83 ,   Selah   (03.10.08)
Globalist community Perhap a little over the top but when these folks with thier head in the sand of denial ...It takes someone with a megaphone to get thier attention... A simialar mindet existed prior to WW2 in the UK When Chamberlin came back from Germany waving a document that claimed "Peace in our time" .... The Watchman on the wall Churchill tried to warn these folks of the deception ....the political grus of the time nearly laughed churchill out of the UK. ...the rest is History... Keep on using your megaphone Feiglin !
47. The Great British Lion has turned into a meek mouse
Paul McDerrmott ,   London England   (03.10.08)
Sadly it is true what is happening in England, the Muslims call the shots. Why would anyone would want to come here is a mystery.Most of the young professionals are leaving Britain,for saner shores.This place is being run by people like the Archbishop of Canterbury,and Livingstone the mayor of London.For every church that closes down three mosques spring up.
48. Made in England.
val   (03.10.08)
Londonistan is no more the free country. But Israel does. Remember Mike's Place suicide bombing? This is made in England.
49. Long time since britan had anything of value to offer
Johnny ,   Stockholm Sweden   (03.10.08)
20 years back people travelled to UK to learn english and for fun shopping. Who does that nowdays? Noone. UK is over, has nothing of interest to offer for happy people. In Europe UK must be the most boring and passe place to go to. Topping it with the fact that UK is becoming a moslems nest, with mosques spreading incitement and hatred - who gives? Brits are bleak, common, boring, rather undereducated and often hateful.
50. Dont agree with Feiglin - BUT SUPPORT HIM IN THIS.
Scott   (03.10.08)
British morons. All they have done is make this man a martyr. I dont agree with all his thoughts, but he is dead right to point out at the glaring hypocrisy shown by the stupid English. I do believe that country is going have SERIOUS INTERNAL issues of its own over the next few years as the Islamists grow in strength. As others has said: UK is finished.
51. ENGLAND, YOU SUCK.
roger ,   ukkk   (03.10.08)
52. Just another reason
Yossi ,   Levittown, PA/US   (03.10.08)
I, and no other observant Jew, should never want to visit England or Europe. When I get $5000 together, you can bet I'll only come back to Israel!
53. great job Feiglin
aj ,   CA   (03.10.08)
a true honor!
54. Yet they let terrorists and inciters in? Hypocrites!
David ,   Boston, USA   (03.10.08)
55. today UK would fold under blitz, apologize to Nazis
bob ,   potomac md and TA   (03.10.08)
hardly the country of Churchill--very much the country of Chamberlain
56. THE UK IS A MUSLIM COUNTRY NOW !
Dan ,   USA   (03.10.08)
57. Britain's Rejection of Feiglin
Leah ,   Chicago   (03.10.08)
Based on how Britain has judged Moshe Feiglin, and other Israeli leaders in comparison to their laundry list of reasons to declare them personae non grata, my guess is Winston Churchill would have been deported and Britain would now be ruled by the Germans.
58. what has Feiglin done to Israel beside being Jewish?
observer   (03.10.08)
civil disobedience against (?arab) occupier, "foment or justify terrorist violence in furtherance of particular beliefs; seek to provoke others to terrorist acts; foment other serious criminal activity or seek to provoke others to serious criminal acts and foster hatred which might lead to inter-community violence in the UK."
59. Israel must make a Big PR Deal of it.
Josh ,   London   (03.10.08)
60. Who would want to travel to an Islamic country anyway?
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (03.10.08)
HOWEVER, see here what a Brit thinks about Islam, UK and EU. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9dXGJ2rYdA&feature=related Hopefully there are enough like him to beat some sense in the morally bankrupt British establishment and save UK from becoming more Islamic than it already is. Maybe UK is not totally lost after all .
