1. Boycot the Psagot winery !
Lea ,   Ramat Ha Sharon   (05.01.09)
Made on stolen land, and the blood of arabs ! Lets hope wine buyers will boycot this wine !
2. arabs who want space should move to 1st palestinian country
(05.01.09)
to jordan where they will definitely be in a palestinian majority. arabs shall have to understand that if they expand in israel, (natural growth, more arab municipal allocations) then they leave no space for jews, and jews shall expand in west bank. obviously terrorists want all israeli businesses to die, but jewish holiday homes in WB, is very risky.
3. I'm going to buy some of their wine for Shabbos. Thanks for
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (05.01.09)
the opportunity to help a growing Jewish business.
4. #1 - I will buy more wine from Psagot now
William ,   Israel   (05.01.09)
Lea, exactly WHO was the land stolen from? No buildings were demolished there as it was a vacant mountain top with no agricultural activity there. Any land not privately owned reverts to State-owned and managed land. Only 5% of land was privately owned, according to Turkish records prior to WWI. When the Brits took over, they sold no land, When Israel wont the war, they acquired it all. According to most land laws, the acquisition of non-private land by the State belongs to the State and shall be governed by the State. The Pal claims that it belongs to "their city" is really bunk as federal govt has precedent over local, and pre-State boundaries of land can be re-drawn if not privately owned and not being used. There is no proof to support your claim...except the repeated mantra of Palestinians based on heresay and revisionism.
5. #2 - boycotting West Bank Jewish businesses
William ,   Israel   (05.01.09)
The last time the EU pushed a boycott of some Jewish business in the West Bank, the Jews moved their operations into Israel and over 100 Palestinians lost their jobs.
6. To #1
Rodon Peretz ,   The Land   (05.01.09)
If you are another self-loathing secular "Jew"; move out of Israel and go back where your sorry type came from!! If you are a palistinian moslem your boycott is mute. If you are a Palistinian who believes in Messiah, then read the Torah and see who really owns the Land !!
7. #1 as allways, you give a good excuse to blieve in #2
& lydia's passe   (05.01.09)
8. psagot winery
toffy ,   thornhill, canada   (05.01.09)
Just an impartial comment from a wine lover who had the opportunity to visit the winery in december...a beautiful site on a hill with a magnificent view and an incredibly delicious wine. I would recommend it to all wine lovers...
9. #1 Good! I will buy enough wine for both of us then!
Etoile ,   Montreal, Canada   (05.01.09)
10. in response to #1....
Brian ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.01.09)
...here this will help you with all your boycotts..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG9aeyTwxw4 in response to everyone planning to buy this wine, having read the article, here is a link to their website... http://www.psagotwines.com/site/index.asp?depart_id=102442 I myself will buy several cases, drink it every Shabbat, and give bottles as holiday and birthday gifts all year. Shabbat Shalom
11. And what about when the Jewish Kingdom was stolen....
Aaron ,   SF, USA   (05.01.09)
....repeatedly by invading armies 1800-3600 years ago? what about the blood of 1 million Jews lost to the Romans?
12. Will buy more of their wine, support their business
caesarea   (05.01.09)
13. Just ordered 20 cases for my restaurant
Ivri ,   IL   (05.01.09)
and dozens of bottles of Psagot wine to send to friends overseas. Yup...# 1.....you are not Lea and you are not in Ramat Hasharon....more like leila in Gaza. Eretz Israel Le Am Israel. Af Shaal.
14. the west bank industries is a great way
dvori   (05.02.09)
to avoid taxes. better than hi tech, anyway.
15. 17 Euro is not enogh
Amichai Berg ,   Ramat Gan Israel   (05.02.09)
170 Euro per bottle would be bettter. The settlers should be driven into bankruptchy!
16. 11 Open a book before you spurt such nonsense
lydia ,   Brisbane   (05.03.09)
There was a continuous Arab reign of some 2000 years. Please tell us when there was ever a jewish kingdom of even 100 years. You should really take up your grievances with the Romans who turfed you out in the first place or with th Nazis responsible for the Holocaust. Nothing at all to do with the Palestinians whose only crime is that you covet their land.
