1. I will call it as I see it..He's a behama

His mother or father or his jailer forgot to teach him basic manners. Spolied rotten kid. His medal means nothing.
2. He is a disgrace
Ari ,   TA   (09.12.08)
He is a disgrace to his country. He should never be allowed to represent Israel again. His career should be ended immediately. Israel has enough problems without idiots like this creating unnecessary ill-will.
3. #1 and #2 - Sorry folks, the boy is right....

If we were not so concerned about loosing money from the impending Chinese tourism boom, we would admit that he is right. China is governed by a repressive, fascist, sneaky, lying, polluting regime, that supports all of our worst enemies. I am proud of this Israeli who is willing to speak the truth: they are SOB's. Now perhaps the Olympic games is not the forum to say this, but would anybody have disagreed if such a statement were made about the hosts of the 1936 summer games? I think not. Not that I am comparing the two regimes, exactly, but lets not beat Tzuberi up too much. He won his medal from the Olymic committee not the Chinese. And in so many ways, they really suck.
4. #3-you need a brain check up, seriously.

As you mentioned, China is governed by a repressive, which means Chinese people are the victims of it. But the stupid boy said Chinese people are "shits" for God's sake! You can say China's government is shit, but never the people! Chinese people are nice and friendly.
5. No excuse...

No excuse for such a hateful talk. Jewish pp r so quick to blame anti-semestic talks. Now u blame the Chinese govt? Don't the Jews remember how Chinese saved countless Jews in WW2? We Chinese will NOT forget such talks. If you tried to change the subj. by saying to shit the Chinese govt., then look at ur own country. Though I sympathize how the Jewish pp suffered during WW2 and under constant terrorist attacks, the Palestinan pp have no freedom or human rights. They live under occupations. Isarel is 1 of the biggest human right violator in the worl and disregard UN resolutions. So, let's talk human right and freedom... my Jewish friends. But before that, look urself in the mirror!
6. chinese gov better than yours

As a Chinese, I am profoundly shocked by general obnoxious Israeli media racist attitude hostility displayed toward china. I remember China had protected and harbored thousands Jewish refugees during wwii. And Chinese always friendly and sympathetic to Jewish cause. And this is how you reattribute to us …the shameless ungratefulness is profoundly shocking. I want to say, if news about Israel like this keep spreading in China, no more Israel will be welcomed anymore to china.
7. for Tzuberi

He's an idiot and his statements represent Israeli elitism which is VERY common
