1. This is news
Ofer   (01.25.09)
Is anyone surprised anymore at what people who have way too much free time on their hands do? When the Moslems take over all of England the first thing they will do is close Cambridge and people like these protesters will be thrown in jail or executed.
2. why only for Gaza?
Ale ,   Haifa   (01.25.09)
Get money for Israel too. We got some buildings destroyed! If in all these years after the diseangegment they didnt invest for their "country", and they shot from schools, its HAMAS problem. Why people see them as victims. HAMAS and the ones who voted them deserve three times what they got. And the Israelies that are in Cambridge complaining about IDF attack, please give me a break ZMOLANIM MEFAGRIM
3. G-d help their clients!
David ,   Shilo Israel   (01.25.09)
4. Cambridge sit-in
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.25.09)
I thought the students of Cambridege University were clever.If they want funds raised for the people in Gaza they can raise the funds themselvesThey have a nerve to blackmail the governing bodies of the university to give scholorships to Palestinian. What next ??
5. just ignore it!!
mira ,   israel   (01.25.09)
the evil of jew-hate will come in many uniforms.
6. Cambridge idiots
David ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (01.25.09)
These kids really must be stupid, they really should learn some history. How is Israel responsible for 60 years of Gaza suffering? Maybe Israel should be blamed for every Muslim death in the world too? Go back to class you idiots!
7. It's now official: Britain turned into Britainstan.
Tahl ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.25.09)
The Muslim invasion into Britain succeeded. Now this country's stance on the Middle East conflict is hardly any different than Syria's, Libya's, Jordan's or any other Arab nation. It is only a matter of time before we see Sharia law introduced, Muslim MPs, and the abolition of the monarchy. This is a sad day not only for Israel-Britain relations, but also for the reputation of Cambridge, as well as this entire poor nation, about to lose its identity.
8. the so called Israelis are actually Arabs
(01.25.09)
9. V2 Rockets
guy ,   los angeles   (01.25.09)
When these rockets were flying over London was there any discussion about what the RAF was doing in Germany? Is there such fervor over the starvation in Darfur or even Zimbabwe?...In a world that hates Jews, Israel is expendable...
10. Cambridge has gone down hill - no clue of history
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (01.25.09)
The group thinks that Gaza has been suffering for 60 years. This makes no sense, either it was the last 42 years (since 67 war) and they blame Israel or it is 90 years and they can blame Egypt and Israel or they can go back to the Ottoman empire. Gaza has never been free, and the Egyptians who live there deserve a better government than what Hamas has done to them. What Hamas has done is as bad as what is happening in Zimbabwe - free land, elected government = no food, no freedom, and no peace. Hamas did this to them.
11. Arrest them. They are hooligans.
Liliane ,   Brighton, UK   (01.25.09)
These people should be arrested for hoolaganism. They are intimidating others who don't agree.
12. #7 Tahl, Ashdod - Israel
Terry ,   Eilat, Israel   (01.25.09)
It's all of Europe - the new Eurabian Union. Europe has surrendered to a new facism without a fight. I read every day of some new incident somewhere in Europe involving Muslims taking advantage or demanding special privileges. Universities are the new centers of revisionist history, propaganda, & lies.The high incidence of crimes committed by Muslims against Europeans is spiraling out of control. Beatings, attacks, rapes, drugs, intimidation, are a daily occurence. You have only to look at the kangaroo court proceedings against Wilders in Holland while Jihadists are granted visas to come & speak. The same phenomenon is happening in the U.S. Sadly, we have the same problem here ........
13. Root of the problem
Raoul ,   Israel   (01.25.09)
Not willing to face the truth, as Makhoul, is the root of the problem. The reason for going into Gaza was for ONE REASON ONLY (highly overdue, by the way), and that was eight years of rocket fire from Hamas. Makhoul has got to believe it, otherwise the rest of his life will be one big lie.
14. Lil-iane , Acadimics are hooligans ? what you are ?
(01.25.09)
15. Not just Cambridge - at least 10 universities
Matt ,   UK   (01.25.09)
At least 10 other universities have had similar sit-ins. The pro-Arab groups are actually calling them "occupations", ironically. The unis include Oxford, SOAS, LSE, Essex, Birmingham, KCL, Sussex, Warwick, Manchester and Leeds.
16. Cambs. students left their brains back at home
Israeli grandmother   (01.25.09)
BUT why do they have no room in their hearts to campaign about far worse situations in Africa. YEARS of war, massacres and expulsions from their homes, starvation of thousands and thousands of native Africans, and of course the Arab Janjaweed in Darfur still attacking the innocent. The well-oiled pro-Arab propaganda machine has been successful in sidelining all other problems, and made its cause fashionable in the West. My friends who are tenured academics in UK and Canada report that even staff are not using their trained skills to analyse the political messages they are being fed, and of course, as usual in these demos, not all the demonstrators are bona fide students!!!!
17. To #8: Nameless: You are so wrong!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (01.25.09)
There are many Jews in England who are against Israeli defending its people and some are even anti-Israel. Rabbi Danny Rich gave this interview on SkyNews: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4aAnCN_hmc Many Jews in the Diaspora are still suffering from "head in the sand" fever and "Don't upset the Goyim" Syndrome!
18. let em sit. who cares?
lildoobird ,   Jerusalem   (01.25.09)
19. 100 Students Total Out Of More Than 18,000?
Yishai kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (01.25.09)
Anybody here ever take a class in statistics? This is not a statistically significant event. It isn't news.
20. Goliath's Cheerleaders
Paqid Yirmeyahu ,   Ra'anana, Israel   (01.25.09)
Where is their compassion for the DEFEATED victims of war? After all, it was Israel who was defeated. Just ask the conquering Hamas? (See article in our Web Cafe). But Goliath lost. Poor Goliath. (Bunch of lame-brained, PC-lemming, perverts!)

21. useless idiots
motherland   (01.25.09)
same old thing they are all rich spoilt tossers who want to pretend they are common people at one with the poor arabs . they dont give a monkeys about anything other than being 'right on' and will be back in there parents million pound houses moaning there arent enough foxes to shoot by next week
22. Cambridge supporters of Hamas
Sidney ,   USA   (01.25.09)
Read the last paragraph, they support Hamas rocket fire on southern Israel as just but Israel's defense as evil. If any are really Israelis, they should lose their Israeli citizenship and become "people without a country". Support for an enemy in war is treason and no sensible government tolerates treason.
23. Why didn't you sit in over Sderot?
Ariel Ben Yochanan ,   Cambridges & Oxfords   (01.25.09)
B"H Why didn't you sit in over Sderot? You had 8 (eight) years and a semester to do so! thetorahrevolution.blogspot.com
24. Gaza solidarity in UK universities
Owen ,   England   (01.25.09)
Here is a link to the websites of all the university occupations currently ongoing in the UK in solidarity with the people of Gaza: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=45620747685&ref=mf
25. #1 Ofer
Marco ,   Spain   (01.25.09)
5% of those in attendance were Israelis. Not muslims but Jewish. Stop hiding behind your finger. Most of you people in Israel have lost your conscience. Face it.
26. #25 Mukhol: Not lost conscience but patience
Honey! I've booby ,   trapped the kids!   (01.25.09)
You really do post a lot - a lot of crap.
27. There is no such thing as "Palestine"
Jake   (01.25.09)
any more than there is a country called "the Rockies", "Appalachia", etc. "Palestine" was never the name of a country. Let's get one thing straight. The creation of an entity known as "Palestine" is to be the result of a negociated 2-state solution, as a result of which the Arabs recognize the existence of the Jewish National Home, Israel, which they have not done. Until then, "Palestine" has less status on the map than a crater on the moon.
28. #25, so what if they happen to be Jewish?
Jake   (01.25.09)
These Israelis who attended (and at least one of them was an Arab Israeli, not Jewish) are self-hating, talebearing, back-stabbing Judases who are seeking glory and influence at the expense of their people. There is a long history of this. The writings of Karl Marx, by birth a Jew, are more anti-Jewish even than Mein Kampf. In medieval Spain, the authorities were careful to use the testimony of renegade Jews and converts to denounce Jews in general. The Grand Inquisitor, Torquemada, was himself of Jewish descent.
29. #24, the word 'occupation' is certainly correct
Jake   (01.25.09)
The UK university campuses are being OCCUPIED by Islamists and Left-wing-Fascist hoodlums, and it is high time for a 'Nettoyage au Karcher'.
30. Myopic Biopic
The 11th Man ,   London   (01.25.09)
Not worth reporting.
