why a 'jew' why not everyone. ? what about hug an arab at the 1st of march.? or hug a hindu at the 1st of january.? I mean really.. its so annoying.

It was quite fun as well as real people I huged cyber people as well. Looking forward to next year

Be careful you dont get arrested for sexual harrassment?

i dont know. i hug a lot of people all the time. it's brilliant! i've never asked them about their religious or ethnic background before doing so. i dont think i'm going to start. hugs for all!

awwww.... dry those little tears jason, you definitely need a hug. come on, dont be shy.

could this be more anti semitic than the statement "some of my best friends are Jews" ?

Hey Eric, wanna give me a hug, i love the irish people.

no problem. sending one over!

Thanks - you made my day Eric!

Here's my hug to you from Israel ... have a nice day!

This 'PC nonsense' has really gone one step too far with this rather demeaning "initiative". I personally don't want anyone's sympathies or emotions towards me to be driven by a 'campaign' which makes me feel more like a 'victim or heritage/choice' because of being Jewish. Either people like me as a person or they don't - AND VICE VERSA! Regarding my previous mention of "political correctness" is concerned: I think it has gone too far i.e. we are now at the stage where people no longer say what they really think and therefore none of us know where we really stand - but this is a different topic altogether!

TO HELL AND BACK. HUGS FOR JEWS OK. MAYBE MUSLIMS NEED SOME HUGS INSTEAD OF ALL THE ANTI ISRAEL RHETORIC. SOMEHOW, ALL THEIR DEAD BABY SUICIDE BOMBERS DON'T MAKE IT. THINK THEY'LL EVER FIGURE IT OUT?

heck no!

Why hug a "jew" day. I dont need a hug, i am living in the best country in the world. No earthquakes, no floods. The best doctors in the world, the best scientists, the best army and the most beautiful girls are here. The Hamas we can deal with. What about the Hamas and Jihad hugging the palestinians, and of course their children, instead of making them into suicide bombers - hug him instead, and teach them to love their neighbours. We never wanted Gaza, we dont want Gaza, there are enough arab countries for them to live in.

Hug a Jew Day was NOT started by Eitan Abir. It was started last year, in 2008 by my younger brother. YNET, Issue a retraction NOW!

Your facts are wrong. Hug a Jew Day was started by Nadav Karon (my son) last year Feb 1, 2008, his birthday. Eitan Abir is taking credited for something that he has nothing to do with. Isn't that theft?

and you are on USA aid. you freak.

I huged the sexiest girl that day, I wish it was done more often!
