1. Radical left is betraying Israel at a time of war.
I. Barr ,   USA   (01.05.09)
After 8 years of Qassams, having left Gaza unoccupied, not responding to Hamas provocations that disrupted life, damaged property, maimed and killed Israeli civilians, come these brain damaged inteligencia to advice the victims what to do to stay alive.They did not read Hamas Covenant and do not live in Sderot. They have their say from coffee houses in Dizingoff over a cup of cappocinno. There is no doubt that these actions of these pious anarchists is a self serving. They wants to be part of the international radical left community. As such they may have a spot on the front page of the New York Times, multiple lecture appearances, grants, book contracts and alike. On the other hand they are appologists to justify their desertion. They needed a rather kinky explanation to rationalize their betrayal. They suffer from a "Jane Fonda" syndrome": Principally this is submission to enemy propaganda and brainwashing in susceptible persons. Frustrations, complex political issues reduce the ability to persevere. Betrayal of the Jewish people by Jews is as old as our Bible. Like Achan (Joshua 7:25) the "day of judgement" will come to them hopefully not from Hamas.

3. Ooh --controversy. What a great marketing tactic when nobody
would read your bad ,   writing otherwise   (01.05.09)
4. None of them live in the south
Mike Sherer ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.05.09)
I've always thought it was interesting the correlation between a person's tolerance for terrorism and how likely they are to take the buses. What will happen when the rockets start hitting Tel Aviv? They'll take their dual passports and fly off to Berlin or New York for the duration, where they can denounce the "evil zionists" and be widely feted by the academic elite in their countries of refuge
5. The Israeli left is seeking Israel's demise just like the
Bill ,   USA   (01.05.09)
Arabs do.
6. any littlt bit counts.=)
jersalem   (01.05.09)
7. Poets Against War
Alison ,   New York, USA   (01.06.09)
I love how these people talk about talking. When Hamas is ready to talk we'll talk. Until then we'll bomb. Very simple.
8. They should gather at a cafe in Sderot
(01.06.09)
to write their poems...maybe they're opinions will change a little...
9. to 8
handi ,   india   (01.06.09)
only dead can not write a poem so they must be in gaza becouse israil want to kill evry one there so no one can servive to write or read poems .. my friend i think you never write a poem but sure you do not never read a poem . it is sense not more if it is in sderote or talavive or in india with its high sky may flowers and the land of great gandi
10. They should read a REAL poet, King David
Petra ,   usa   (01.06.09)
he could've showed them both a brilliant poet and a brilliant military genius. As for them, never heard of them and doubt their paper will be remembered by anyone other than themselves. Poets or Cowards?
11. war of words
Petra ,   usa   (01.06.09)
doesn't count when you count the dead. better them than US. If every coward called himself a 'poet' there'd be no one to win a war. They'd be dead and knee high in paper. The victors wont find one winning poem.
12. How poetic
Mike ,   USA   (01.06.09)
Some 1,000 copies of the anthology have been printed at a printing house in Kfar Kassem, after a local printer refused to print the issue due to its content Kfar "Kassem " publishing poetry while the Kassams are falling. Truely poetic!
13. They See Better
Morrin ,   Sweden   (01.06.09)
I think those poets and artists see better than those soldiers and generals. They are not as blind as those who see it is justice to kill others in the name of "defending"! How absurd it is. As if those politicians, soldiers and generals turned to be vampires, only get rest when they drink more and more blood of the Palestinians and even the Israelis. Please stop the 4.000 years of misleading your people and the entire humanity.
14. HYPOCRITES
CHUTZPAN   (01.07.09)
I only have one questions, where were all of these lefty Latte sipping, Shenkin dwelling "psudeo intellectuals, when Sderot was being attacked for 8 years. These so called artists of peace, prove yet again that they do not care about Israeli human rights. Also, this is clearly a way for them to make money and get their name out there so they can sell their soul to which ever European backed art council funds this. Shame on them!!!!!!
15. Same as usual
J ,   Jerusalem   (01.07.09)
A bunch of foreigners on the talkback, all full of rage and ever willing to fight to the last Israeli. Leave us alone foreigners.
16. an anthology against Hamas
Ana ,   Spain   (01.07.09)
An anthology against hamas attacks would have been much appropriated. Why don't they move to Gaza and live among the poor terrorists?
17. #15, It has nothing to do with foreigners on talkback
Jake   (01.07.09)
These "poets" and "artists" scoured Israel for a printer that would print their drivel, but found none, except in Kfar Kassem.
18. Avnery too MP3

19. A Liberal Is One Who Has Not Had A
Lawrence ,   Safed Israel   (01.08.09)
Rocket fired at them yet.No decent Human Being should LOVE War but don't blame Israel for defending its citizens.For petes sake these poets are twisted.Two millenia of exile really screwed up us Jews sadly.
