Barry ,   London   (12.31.08)
This outfit is run by some Pakistani in the run down suburb of Crawley in Sussex. The London Underground bombers had links will elements of that community. The British hate them more then they hate you
62. Israel Must Be Heartbroken
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (01.01.09)
That this nondescript 3rd. rate telecom reseller has broken ties with Israel due to the Gaza offensive. Two can play at that game. All Jewish U.K. domestic and business users of FreedomCall's services should pull the plug on them.

70. #22- everybody hates you
Saul Eisenstat ,   Los Altos, CA USA   (01.01.09)
Israel can't possibly be the most hated country in the world. That award goes to that Imam-dominated country lead by today's Hitler; that country is IRAN.

77. telecom snub
mark ,   englan d   (01.01.09)
I agree that telecom firm is a shower of shit but dont slam english people as antisemitic. I am jewish and have never encounterd it, and all my friends are christian and muslim. The british governemt has and always has been up the arabs arses but who gives a shit, am sure israel dosent.
78. Who will they replace them with?
TMH ,   Canada   (01.01.09)
What a joke, lets's see if the UK firm can replace the Israeli company with one from the muslim world, because we know that Muslims are a major contributor in high tech, medicine, the arts etc.... The CEO had a perfect response to the email & I would have done the same.
79. Link to Freedom Call
Richard S. ,   Miami, USA   (01.01.09)
Here is the link: http://www.freedomcall.co.uk/ Feel free to do what you want.
80. Israel should ensure they are banned from the US market
Michael   (01.01.09)
The US outlaws following the Arab boycott. As such this company has no right to do businsess in the United States. Israel should ensure the US blocks any connections from their customers to the US.
81. then they should also stop
joe blow ,   NY   (01.01.09)
This Brit firm should also stop using Firewalls, Cell phones, PCs and any other technologies developed by Israel.

Jane   (01.01.09)
Blah de blah de Islamic blah
83. Yeah , good move
Joo ,   Eurabia   (01.01.09)
Also through away your computers that using Israeli technology.
84. A beginning
Kiloranbrae ,   Edinburgh Scotland   (01.01.09)
Is it surprising that companies around the world start to reflect the disgust that so many people have at the disproportionate actions of the IDF. Increasingly what comes out of Israeli ministers mouths is irrational as reflected in many of the childish and unthinking, ignorant comments above. Is it surprising that in the week that a ship flying the union jack is attacked by "pirates" between Cyprus and Gaza that a British firm responds. If you have a mobile phone the likelihood is it is based on British technology checkout ARM. Happy New Year to All. May we have a peaceful world. May we learn not to harm each other.
85. freedomCallCutsFree
Yaacob ,   Toronto Canada   (01.01.09)
I hope they sink with the Pound.

87. The Israelis are Taking my TAX Money
American ,   USA   (01.01.09)
The Israelis are taking my tax money to build new homes on stolen land and an apartheid wall on Palestinian land. We should build homes for Katrina survivors instead. STOP TAKING MY TAX MONEY, you thieves.
88. stuff your company up your cake hole
sue ,   Israel   (01.01.09)
We are battling muslim extremisim here in Israel. We are not killing civilians for fun, like Hamas. So stuff your company where the sun don't shine.....
89. Lets Face it ... Theres more money to be from Those who supp
R Hitchings ,   Methil   (01.01.09)

90. #81, you seen their website?
Danny   (01.01.09)
What makes you think they are even still in business? They aren't up to date at companies house and are a small company.
