1. Feeling a bit insecure, eh!!!
IRAN#1   (01.29.09)
88% will be down to 8% when the USA and the rest of the west cuts the lifeline to Israel.
2. How many Israel Jews are proud to be Jews?
GET REAL ,   USA   (01.29.09)
3. Fair notions
Robert Bernier ,   Tel Aviv   (01.29.09)
Let’s have a fair notion and honest information about population exchange and human rights. Let’s be correctly informed. Just open : http://xrl.us/bjcgx
4. assume 12% are gov't leaders
ur   (01.29.09)
the rest do not want to be anything else. nothing could be better.
5. all the more reason
Arie ,   BaGolan   (01.29.09)
Why Jews are shopping in stores and frequenting restaurants owned by Jews. If the arabs want our money, the time has come for them to step up and make a true choice. If they want to be part of a pali state, go for it. we can device a partition that will accommodate them! As for me and my family: Made In Israel and owned by Jews is the first thing I look for
6. I am proud to call none of them friend.
Gideon Reader   (01.29.09)
The remainder; those not proud are Arabs, members of Shalom Achshav, Meretz and many Labor supporters and the usual wankers and tossers found in any congreation of people anywhere.
7. madness
jjj ,   jer is   (01.29.09)
patriotism is the last refuge of the fool
8. Arab "pride".
Robert Haymond ,   Ashdod, Israel   (01.29.09)
Yeah, right: To paraphrase, our (Arab Moslems) respect for, and patriotic beliefs in Israel have significantly diminished but our desire to reside within the country have significantly increased. Fifth column? You betcha. Look for Yisrael Beiteinu to address this situation in the next Knesset.
9. 88% are not results to be proud of
zionist forever   (01.29.09)
It should be more like 100% Israeli jews who are both proud to be Israeli and should serve in the military. Its interesting that 95% are willing to fight for their country but only 88% are proud to be Israeli. The idea that only 95% of them think that there should be a silence for the men and women who died to save their lives patriotic or nor every single Israeli OWES their respect to the fallen soilders, even the arabs whose lives were equally at risk of death as the jews. If the arabs are so proud to be Israeli then why don't they show a little more patriotism? They are patriotic in the good times but when their arab brothers are attacking the state they are citizens of their loyalty has a tendency to change sides.
10. Couse Ynet predicted not "chasm" but "love" after war...
Bob ,   Moscow   (01.29.09)
11. how could they be proud?
Osama Kanaan ,   Gaza, Palestine   (01.29.09)

12. #11 Defending Israel not a war crime
Cynthia ,   USA   (01.29.09)
Jihad or armed struggle resulted in the rubble that is Gaza. Nothing to be proud of Osama. I doubt your Iranian masters are proud of you either.
13. 12% must be Russians
Ya'Akovah ,   Montreal   (01.29.09)
The same ones beating on Jews expelled from their homes in Gush Katif... They'll show up once again, when Obama presents Israel with a SEVEN YEAR PEACE TREATY (Daniel Chap 9 & 12)
14. I'M VERY PROUD!!!!
Talula ,   Israel   (01.29.09)
And no-one can take that away from us. We have what to be proud about.
15. #1 Iran is doomed.
(01.29.09)
16. how could Pals be proud?
Gil ,   Tel Aviv   (01.29.09)
Hamas leaders hiding in the ground like worms whilst their soldiers shoot from behind behind women and children.... how can YOU be proud??
17. #11 u proud gaza children play with arsenal in bunkers?
(01.29.09)
18. #11 we are proud because
vashDi ,   ISRAELJEWPROUD   (01.29.09)
we kicked u're arses and didn't break any "war laws" so go and build yourself a new house and stfu.
19. CHILDISH NOTION
DAVID ,   JUDEA   (01.29.09)
It almost seems one reads a poll in china, Iran or any other weird nation. Equating flag waving and army service to patriotism is a total non Jewish concept , but then again that is were this state and Ynet are all about . Their sole purpose is to create a entity devoid of Judaism . By creating this hollow identity , our real strength as a people is in serious jeopardy. So to publish polls like this is an old trick, as many nations have done the same over time, to support a failing system , to inflame a false sense of patriotism.
20. THE POINT SHOULD BE WHETHER GAZA DAYS WERE GOOD OR BAD !
Atilla Karagözoğlu   (01.29.09)
was it necessary or not ? was it inhuman or not ? HEY ! BE PROUD WITH WHERE YOU LIVE. DO WE HAVE TO OKEY ALL ACTIONS OUR STATES DO ?
21. Israel is the most moral country in the World
(01.29.09)
22. ITS ACTUALLY 100%! THE OTHER "12%" ARE ARABS AND LEFT WING
LUNATICS!   (01.29.09)
23. Proud
Proud Israeli Jew ,   Israel   (01.29.09)
I am proud to be an Israeli Jew, and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world.
24. One in two Israeli Arabs are proud to be Israelis
Zvi   (01.29.09)
What would you figure that the number is by watching the BBC? By listening to Yisrael Beiteinu? By listening to the anti-Arab talkbacks that appear here? You'd figure that the percentage is a lot smaller. One in two Israeli Arabs is loyal, and one in five are eager to fight for their country. It's very important to distinguish between these people and the ones who would betray, rather than painting all with the same negative brush.
25. 2 , get real
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.29.09)
Yes there are many who are PROUD to belong to the Jewish people . Secular Jews , contributed more than any other people to Humanity , and that's enough to be proud of , to begin with . We can be proud of being Israeli Jews who build a country in such difficult conditions , we are proud to LIVE here , and not begalut .
26. I'm in Israel and serve in the military, #12
Alex ,   Haifa, Israel   (01.29.09)
While you are away in Montreal, it just shows between us two who is more proud to be Israeli. You can ignore it and throw slurs around all you like but the olim from Russia are willing to risk their lives for this country and are far more patriotic than you are.
27. 11
zionist forever   (01.29.09)
You talk about Israel and war crimes. Tell me are palestinans proud of suicide bombngs when they blow up inocent civilians who are on busses, at nightclubs, celebrating a religious occasio at a hotel. Are they proud of the fact that they launch rockets at Israel from school yards in the hope that Israel won't retaliate? Are you proud of the fact that international charities paid millions of dollars to buy hot houses from jews but first thing you do is destroy them? Palestinians have nothing to be proud of also why do you say you come from Palestine there is no such place and the sooner you people accept that the palestinian state exists already and is named Jordan the happier everybody will be.
28. If 88% is true number, why do you need to pay to bloggers?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (01.29.09)
If 88% is true number, why do you need to pay to bloggers to write comments supporting Israel? Self-contradictory to facts or your this article is also paid!
29. 28 tayfun , WRONG , AS ALWAYS
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (01.29.09)
We have to convince Israelis , but guys as a certain tayfun and many disinformed people worldwide . PS who said they are paid ?
