31. UK: Stop publishing tourism brochures depicting N. Ireland
Abe Froman ,   NY, NY   (04.15.08)
It is misleading to depict Northern Ireland, a land long under brutal occupation by a foreign invader, as part of the UK. Shame on the UK for misleading the public into thinking that Catholic Northern Ireland is a part of Protestant Great Britain.
32. We all know Israel is all the land God gave to Abraham,..

Issac and Jacob. We see the borders from those kinds of eyes. Eyes that see truth.
33. 10 What????
(04.16.08)
The Brits kept the Jews out of their own homeland dieing in Nazi occupied lands, to keep the Arabs happy. The Brits were part of the problem not the solution. What do you want Israel to do if your media is all about lies to once again keep the Arabs happy? I suppose it's also the fault of the robbery victim that had too much cash in his pockets...poor robber just couldn't resist...damn victim for not speaking up more loudly so every one knew...

As an Israeli currently living in the U.K. I can tell you that the level of anti-semitism here is very scary. Pro-Hamas Brits marched through my town just 2 weeks ago to celebrate Naqba (land day) . Although the British like to think of themselves as liberal and P.C., and therefore you will not hear openly anti-semitic comments, being anti-Israeli is not only considered P.C., it also earns you points with the "liberal" Left. Try getting a government or university job here with an Israeli name. True, the Israeli foreign office could do a lot more here in terms of explaining our side of things, and the palestinians, with British media help are running a very slick P.R. campaign, but it is also the personal responsibility of any Brit (especially those of Jewish origin) to find out the truth for themselves instead of being brainwashed by Paxman & co. Take a short break from football and Big Brother and start trying to find out what's really happening. A web site called Honest Reporting could be a start.
35. Make Britain..
Simon ,   Malha   (04.16.08)
Make Britain into a Palestinian state.. then see what happens! Some British academics suggest that St George is a Palestinian.. so send all the Palestinians to England.. and they will love it.. prosper, enjoy! God Bless the Queen of the Palestinians (and the British!)
36. 2 Brits either get over it or NAFF OFF!
Ami Israel ,   Jerusalem   (04.16.08)
37. let them give back the elgin stones, rosetta stone,obilisk
arthur ,   jersey city usa   (05.13.08)
Let ex imperialist britain give back its things. If the Brits hadn't been so two faced Israel would have been established in 1919 under the Balfour declaration. Let england return all it took under the Sykes Picot Treaty.
