7. Sullivan:Changes with the times
One minute you are aa Jew; then a Christian on a mission; one minute you are a straight man lambasting "perverted ones" then you are a woman always taking about your 'husband' and now you are gay. Take aa stand and live with it. Other than that, thank you for admitting that you are riding a car with several flat tyres

(08.26.08)
10. How inevitable
How many more near fatal bridge collapses like this one will there have to be before we say enough is enough with these 'bendy-busses'? The transportation minister should be ashamed.

11. democracy 1#
giving support to the enemy was a criminal offence in wartime Britain Alper is suspected of entering Gaza a criminal offence Many people think he is a a traitor that is also a criminal offence even in a democracy so your post is BS
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (08.26.08)
12. #1 Naive. What about John Walker Lindh
Serving 20 years for aiding the Taliban even though there's no proof he actually harmed any American. Is America an "alleged democracy " too?
Bill ,   US   (08.26.08)
13. Pic of Halper solves question of short food supplies
Bruce ,   Kentucky, USA   (08.26.08)
14. Halper a lucky Man
This Troublemaker got off Lightly.Had Israel been a fraction as nasty as he would have us believe,his Boat would have been sunk by the Israel Navy and he would not be around to cause further trouble.But the Israelis,are nice guys really ...Pussycats or this idiot would be at bottom of the sea.
Larry ,   zefat israel   (08.26.08)
15. # 7. He's a hillbilly homo from Ithaca.
(08.26.08)
16. Wow, Israel actually arrested the leftwing, SOB!!!
Looks like some left wing groups forgot to send their cash stuffed envelopes to Olmert, LOL.
Yonatan ,   Nahariya   (08.26.08)
17. #1, democracy means voting, yes we got that!
and, no, treason, aiding and abetting the enemy, and breaking general laws are not protected rights in this country, or in any other.
Antonio ,   Haifa   (08.26.08)
18. Halper is an enemy!
Dabbie ,   USA   (08.26.08)
19. The anti-Semitic garbage loves the Jews like Halper
Such Jews is their justification for the hatred toward the Jews.
Frank ,   USA   (08.26.08)
20. Deport Halper
Why was Halper allowed to cross into Israel? Strip him of his Israeli citizenship and deport him. Don't let the two boat leave Gaza without Shalit. Teach them what freedom is about, free Shalit.
Great White North ,   Canada   (08.26.08)
21. Prof halper detained
Did I miss something? Did Prof. Ha;per went to Gaza to protest the shelling of Sderot and other settlements, for killing, injuring and craeting psychological havoc on numerous Israelis? He broke an importnat security law. Why release him?
jack bergman ,   NY, NY   (08.26.08)
22. #3 - getting aroused?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (08.26.08)
23. Israel is not in Micronesia. It is not Iceland or New Zeland
It is not surrounded by water. It is surrounded by some of the most vile regimes on this planet. It is 0.1% of the Middle Eastern landmass while the enemies occupy 99.9%. People like Halper play into the hands on the Israeli adversaries. It is not their business to desroy the politcal process especially when the Hamastanis hold Shalit and indiscriminately fire the missiles into Israel, Had Mexico or any group in Mexico fired 1 rocket on San Diego we would have taken over their territory a long time ago.
Shame on Halper ,   USA   (08.26.08)
24. Thank God the USA is not as liberal and leftist
as Israel is.
Ed ,   USA   (08.26.08)
25. Halper, like his cronies, should have left as he came
There was a report that after boat journey to Gaza, many wanted to return via Israel. Closing Israel's gates and making them sail back struck me instead as Israel's appropriate response. Now I read that Israel foolishly allowed this fool back through the Erez crossing. Idiots. He deserved no more consideration than his left-wing terror enabling cronies.
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (08.26.08)
26. Israeli Left has collapsed, says Yair Lapid
Why did they arrest him - Lapid says he doesn't exist
russel ,   Tlv   (08.26.08)
27. He's an elite, hence exempt from the law
As a communist academician, the law does not apply to him - the law only applies to "the cows", the rest of us who aren't so "enlightened". We would immediately be arrested and treated extremely harshly, but because he's part of the elite (journos, politicians, academicians), he gets off.
Rami ,   London   (08.26.08)
28. THE LEFTISTS MUST BE ALL IN JAIL
(08.26.08)
29. He's no worse than LIVNI releasing MURDERERS!
Barbara ,   Carmiel   (08.26.08)
30. #17 so you think Shindler and alike
whom helped the jews, were treasonous, aiding and abetting the enemy
