and Hong Kong. I'm a asia frequent flyer and everybody knows that Changi is far better than Hong Kong. Indeed HK imigration is SO but SO slow that reminds me of a 3rd world country.

other airports. Atlanta is the worst.

Positive points: * Modern, clean. * Free wireless internet on all gates. * Power plugs to plug in your laptop (you do have to sit on the floor for it though, unless you have a 10 meter long power cord). Negative points: * Rude security personnel. * Long waiting times. * Virtually non-existent public transportation to Jerusalem. (Bus from Tel Aviv / Bnei Brak costs about 18 NIS, while the Nesher taxis cost 45 NIS.) * A lot of near-accidents we read about in the paper all the time.

so among very serious competitors such as Bagdad Int'l Airport, Gaza Airport, Beirut airport, and Bahrain Airport BG gets a 1st place ....wow, big achievment !

do you travel with your so beloved pets ? berck , disgusting

professor rivkah from hunter college, is that you?

if indeed dubai or another airport in mid east were better, they would have been selected. do not use another israeli acheivement to bash your hatred on this site. accept the fact that israel IS THE ONLY acheivement in the middle east, the only humane and modern advanced and brilliant country....imagine that....it has no once of oil! but the black gold is the israeli iq, ingenuity, hard work and democracy. you can have all the oil you want, but if these despotic backwards countries have done nothing for their people with their riches. nothing! their quality of life, except for the royal few is a slum existance, and you know it. i have lived in dubai, in the "rich part"......you can't bellieve the human abuse and abckwardness i have seen there. shameful.

shame for your ignorance. their airport is THE LEAST OF THEIR PHENOMENAL ACHEIVEMENTS. in case you are wondering..... voice mail, instant messaging, computer chip, medical, genetic, scientific operations, medicine inventions, patents..... high tech the best in the world! throw out your computer chip asap, throw out your cell phone asap, throw out life saving meds asap, etc... etc.... etc...THEY WERE ALL INVENTED IN ISRAEL!!!! in addition to their modern, clean, beautiful and VERY VERY SECURE AIRPORT! take your hate and resentment somewhere else.

#9 and #10 Just to remind you that zionists like you need to recite a much longer list of Israeli achievements than the one you alrady mentioned in your talbacks. To just help you in this endeavour for the next talback, just watch this movie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFv3-56un_M and this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zovK2BZdG-g&feature=related So next time be an honest loyal good-boy zionist and cite all the achievements.

the questionnaires did not include factors as racism on the "name"

relax, and stop copy/paste other achivements of Israel. All I said that among countries with substandard airports BG is obviously a niciest one ..... but, I would rather hear the best in the world/asia/europe. PS. All real achevments of Israel make me proud too!

SECURITY TAKES OVER 2-3 HOURS FOR GROUPS THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE

to answer your pallywood films and liar arab propaganda which you people are so brilliant at (the only acheivement of the arabs, by the way) is to introduce to you all the final and correct evidence of your lies. qana bomb at gaza beach al durah "work accidents" in gaza by terrorist blaming israel on it all these were proven false, lies and propaganda for world opinion. the case of al durah was dismissed as a lie in french court. the case for the gaza beach bombing was dismissed as propaganda because there was no israeli shells found there. the case for qana was staged and proven to be staged by a watch internet site and it was evident to all the world to see. the only ones who still believe this is the arabs who are schotzoid, unbalanced and dellusional in their jealousy and hate. many other films by arab media are conclusive lies....such as the ones in gaza by hamas that said jews killed their elders during the holocaust, killed their weak and elderly so that they can only send strong able men to palestine to work the land and establish a state. big lies. or movies and arab "intellectuals" who dismiss the holocaust and bring panels of specialists to create false rumors about jews. i imagine der strumer, mein kamf and the elders of zion is still rampantly published in your arab countries. as a matter of fact, my arab friends tell me that in cairo these books are all you see on street stands. shameful in this day and age. however, no wonder all 22 arab nations in the mid east are so very uneducated, backwards, no science, no morals, despotic, inhumane to women, etc... so, again. we, the world, do not believe in pallywood. we do not believe in arab lebanese ambulances with sirens going from place to place, empty, making a commotion for arab propaganda on the streets of southern lebanon, we do not believe arabs. period. as to israel defending itself against the low scum of a terrorist society, well, we have the absolute right to live in our country in peace and in a jewish homeland. while you claim that we make the palestinians life disastrous, you and islam made the jews lives in your countries a living hell and then, unlike the jews in palestine, expelled one million of the jews that were innocent and stole their property. arabs are liar, cheaters and can never be trusted. all the movies you showed me were just bogus. however, you can hold on to your beliefs and illusions because these are the only things you are able to hold on to. your people have no dreams and no future. your societies are failures compared to the west, israel in the only country in your area that is a world class player. and by the way, if israel got half the monetary help that the world gives palestinians, we would be dancing on the streets. however, coming out of the ashes of the holocaust, demoralized, hungry, malnutritious and decayed, we still managed to labour, build and succeed unlike you that depend on the world for handouts, the world's biggest beggars.

oh, by the way, i am not a zionist although i see nothing wrong in being called that. i am an american christian protestant that has visited both arab countries and israel as well and drew my own conclusions by meeting your kind of people and the jews. your societies need a lot of reeducation, modernization and a sense of moral compass and tollerance when it comes to others. i have worked as an engineer in dubai and had the opportunity to see some palestinian people there as well as other arabs from different muslim countries. i thought that israel is the same until i visited there. bot, how wrong i was to even begin to compare. israelis are a fascinating people. very quick and bright. very hard working and have such a strong vision and work ethics. what i found in arab countries is an antipathy to hard work, an unwillingness to progress and work hard, an unwillingness to advance. no wonder most arab nations full of oil have no technology to extract it from the ground and need foreigners to come show them how it's done and use foreigners for manual labour. you really need an 180 degree turn over in your countries, still living as if it's the middle ages.

just in case you'd like to inform yourself....israel never ever dug one oil well in the sinai when it had it after 1973 war in which egypt attacked. we kept this vast desert fror a peace agreement in which we ensured a final peace with egypt and then they got it back. what israel did with the sinai is build beautiful resorts by the beaches, which tourists still visit today from all over the world and israel. egypt had the sinai for ages and nothing was ever donec with it. israel developed it for tourists and handed it to egypt in that advanced condition, helping their economy. the point being that even with a desert, the israelis knew how to develope it from the start while the egyptians, who had it for years and years never bothered. says a lot about the arab mind, doesn't it.

At the same time, why not mention the Palestinian accomplishments: suicide murders, unguided missiles launched at civilians, and include that the Palestinian dead have over 50% combatants, while Israeli deaths are almost exclusively civilians? Thank you for the one-sided and half-truth links, they show that truth and the Palestinian "cause" are total strangers. Tell me, do you know how many "Palestinian refugees" there were in 1948? Do you know how many Jews were expelled from Arab countries at the same time? I'm sure you don't.

..as a non Jewish, i am a Palestinian citizen of Israel ! I which that my fellow Jewish citizens could do the expieience! Israeli guards breaking my note book and not even apppologizing ! breaking my Kamera, questioning me for 7 hours and making my little son and doughter wait ! TREATING ME AND MY FAMILY AS IF WE WERE DANGEROUS ANIMALS !

The Arabs have done virtually nothing. Saudi Arabia is one of the wealthiest places on earth and people still die of cholera there. It's laughable. However when it comes to flag burning, rioting over cartoons, terrorism, having houses of worship monitored by local and national security agencies, you guys are the undisputed champs. There's something to ululate over.

Israelis insist Israel is part of the West and they have nothing to do with the unwashed Middle Easterners. What up, isn't that the case anymore?

we israelis and jews have the RIGHT not to feel or be as middle eastern as arabs. we have a different mentality, a different religion, a different set of values, a very very different educational level, a different life experience level, a different potential and desire to acheive, move forward, develope and succeed. we israelis, not unlike our learned and successful people of the west, have accomplished in israel something that arabs in all of mid east have not even began to dream of doing. this is a bone of contention and jealousy arabs feel for israelis. additionally, we have a very varies heterogeneous society with the opportunity for democracy, for tollerance of other religions, for desire to build bridges with those that extend a peaceful hand to us and do not constantly terrorise or bomb our civilians. we as a society are free to use free press, to question, to argue to condemn, to write and debate freely. look at the leftists and rightists in israel. pro arab, pro palestinian, pro everything, against government and still THEY ARE ALLOWED TO SPEAK, TO DEMONSTRATE, TO CONVEY THEIR OPINIONS IN THE FREE PRESS AND ON THE STREETS. the arab population is also allowed to do that. their leaders serve in our knesset and command seats which they do not always use for the benefit of their constituents, unfortunatelly. so, you see, there is freedom compared to your arab/muslim societies. it it precicely this freedom that you arabs lack, the opressive unquestioned islamic religion, the enmeshment of islam and government that is killing your societies and your opportunities to become like us: modern, functional societies, education for all, freedom of speech and the ability to be heard by the government, etc... our society is just DIFFERENT that your society. we lean more towards enlightment. you lean more towards obeying the kuran, following like sheep whatever your imams say and generally unable to get your rights, your needs and your due from your despotic totalitarian regimes, looking at israel and blaming her for not wanting to folow in your path is a compliment. we don't feel that the mid east needs a washing. we feel that the mid east has been brought down to its knees and this sad level by noit havinf a functional democratic government and society. you in arab lands have regimes that have to CONTROL THE STREET. therefore you keep people opressed and uneducated and poor. we in israel feel that the opressed will never work hard to acheive anything, will never strive for better, will never have solidarity with the government or a leader. what unites us is not the hate for another like yourselves, but the tremenduous desire against all odds to move forward, to create, to develop and to gain the respect in fields of science, medicine, the arts, music and high technology. what is wrong with that? should be be like everyone in the middle east? should we not take a bath also? should we strive to be a low common denominator so that we can please your arab rage and jealousy? israel will never prostitute itself so that you can feel better about your misery. never. despite what you wish us, we'll win and move forward. we'll succeed where you have failed. we will never give up hope and never kneel to your demands or way of life. it just doesn't work for the jewish people. we are not sheep on a street. we are creative and demand a free good life for all of our families and children. arabs can continue to hate, continue to wage uneeded wars, wage terror attacks. they will be the ones who get caught in the murder they wish for us jews. to hate and to kill would not further your societies. it will work in another direction; one of waste and condemnation.

It's not that Israel wants to be part of the West as much as for the last 2,000 years the West has been linked to Israel. It has nothing to do with cleanliness. That's an Iranian outlook as history shows.

Now how many planes hijacked my Arabs? Case closed.

#11 Thanks to Israel you have a computer and can post your hateful anti Israeli propaganda. Sad to see antisemitism in the Netherlands increasing due to emigration from the Arab world into the Netherlands in the past 30 years.

#20. Lucky you. At least the Arabs in Israel are allowed to travel. The Jews in Egypt were expelled and when we lived in Egypt we were not allowed to travel. So stop complaining.

been there - nothing to write home about: always crowded, small and inconvenient. THOUGH the new one they are building should indeed be much, much bigger and better... amman's airport is a joke - looks like some small provincial bus station at best...

This was an article about Airports... All of a sudden it became an argument about the right of Israel to exist and the relative achievements of Jews versus the Arab world.... What age are ye.... 8?
