31. to: little dafer
Jennie ,   NYC   (11.03.09)
little dafer; Glad, your real attitude of a poor little victim was cracked and the real scum had shown its little filthy fangs....But be very careful what you wish for, little magot...cuse, even your brothers dont like your kind too much - little nobody's like u...what I wish for you is far less deadly, then what u wish for me & my people....I wish you to achieve your dream to go to the arab land to join your brothers and let them show you their love for you....By the way, did u ever read anything, other then the chamas,fattah & bin laden manuals ?
32. Got what he deserved
Igor ,   Germany   (11.03.09)
Mr. Plocker, from what you write I recon your academic friend is a classical Jewish antisemite who serves as an alibi Jew to all goyish antisemites. "See, even a Jew agrees that the Jews are bad, so how bad are they really?!", they exclaim. As far as British antsemitism is concerned, I recommend reading "Antisemitism in Britain" by George Orwell. It was written long before the "occupation", even before Israel was established and in the midst of the Shoah and dissects the vibrant antisemitism in all classes and political segments of the British society. I guess nothing has changed since.
33. Why are UK, US, Iran, Arabs, Russia respected?
Israel   (11.03.09)
Because they are strong and were strong. Strength causes fear, fear makes respect. Love has nothing to do with international relations. Israel needs to stop making concessions and start earning respect. And since Plocker is one of those willing to sell respect for love, he should stay away from the wolves in UK.
34. Israel: Doom and gloom
Seymour ,   Berkeley USA   (11.03.09)
Have you gone off your anti-depressant medication again?
35. How many more dumb articles must I read on ynet.
usa   (11.03.09)
Get some real writers, who actually have reason and intelect to write.
36. EU and Canada as we know them will cease exist
(11.04.09)
Why? Muslim immigration. Muslim immigration is what's growing their populations. How kind and unracist it is of these western societies to be so generous to muslim immigrants.
37. The need to be loved and accepted
(11.04.09)
is a symtom of the many centures of Galut. We must be loved and accepted or we can't go on living is basically what he is saying.
38. The world wanted to believe Israel but Goldstone enlightened
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (11.04.09)
Israel when to far in the last two weeks in Gaza by punishing them for rocket attacks but the world trusted the Israeli point of view until Goldstone report. Israel has lost that blind trust that it gained from years of work and resisting terror attacks. To regain that trust the west wants a fully investigation with soldier questioned since only the soldiers, UN/Aid workers and Gaza people were there but if even some of the facts in Goldstone report true and soldiers comfim this then Israel is in worst position. Stopping settlements and restarting peace talks maybe the best option now but that move could bring down the gov. and force new elections or let it go to ICC and put IDF officers in a bind. There is no winning now just who will lose.
39. #38: Bomb, bomb El Paso
Joshua ,   Pittsburgh, PA USA   (11.04.09)
Would you condone such rhetoric and actions? As many Mexicans would see it, Texas is "occupied territory", and no more so than El Paso, which was split off from Juarez by the independence of Texas and the Treaty of Guadelupe Hidalgo. And THAT was an OFFENSIVE war! Maybe the Aztlan guys are right, maybe we should give Texas back to Mexico, starting with your hometown of Dallas.
40. The world hates you because of Jennies
Candida ,   NYC   (11.04.09)
the scum who lives in my city is representative of way too many jews. These are the same scum who cry out anti-semitic if you don't let them rape society.
41. Fascinating psychology on display here in the talkbacks
Cameron ,   USA   (11.04.09)
A full range from howling outrage to cool indifference. A YNET special!
42. have not rwead such rubbish in a long time
avrom ,   bet shemesh   (11.04.09)
Israel is only liked in the world when it is committing suicide .this explains why previous Israeli governments were tolerated .Bibi's government is the first government in a long time which knows how to protect the Jewish state and its citizens .that is why it is hated so much . In fact the more the iSRAELI GOVERNMENT IS HATED the better it is
43. A thorn in the civilized world’s side.
Chardon Bleu ,   Geneva Switzerland   (11.04.09)
There comes what necessarily had to come: the world is slowly opening it’s eyes to see what an awfully wrong “good idea” the Zionist ideology really was and still is. This is not just a passing change of perception, but an unstoppable development which will get stronger and stronger. To those seduced and bewitched by this ideology, one can only say: Dissociate yourself from it and escape before it is too late!
44. jennie dear
Dafer ,   haifa   (11.04.09)
i promise you that o will not scoope down to your level ,and use the same language your parents taught you ,but like i said you are a great example of what we have to put up with in our home land .. shame ,shame , shame... but i promise that i will not loose faith in all the jews , there are good ones around ....

david ,   ny ny   (11.04.09)

46. To # 19
Alfie ,   Afula, Israel   (11.04.09)
Not at all. But look reality in the face. We left Gaza,rightly so and we got rockets. We left Lebanon ,rightly so and got rockets. Who is to promise a rocket free future on the west bank if we withdraw from there.First let the PALS put their house in order,we cannot gamble with ours.Think about it a little further.
47. YES, WE ARE A THORN !
LARRY   (11.04.09)
WE ARE A LONELY PEOPLE! WE THEREFORE MUST STAND STRONG. WE DONT NEED ANY FAVORS FROM ANYBODY. 70YEARS AGO WE DID NOT HAVE A STATE AND THE WORLD HATED US THE MOST! 4 YEARS AGO WE UNILATERALLY LEFT GAZA. THE WORLD HATED US MORE FOR IT. WHY IS IT THAT WE WANT TO BE LOVED SO MUCH? REMEBER, THE WORLD NEEDS US MORE THAN WE NEED THEM READ & STUDY! DO NOT REAMAIN UNEDUCATED!!!
48. It is better to be hated than rounded up and gassed in
David ,   USA   (11.04.09)
Auschwitz. Relax....they are who they are. You cannot do anything about it. As long as they cannot harm a Jew then it is OK. Just start developing the anti-cancer drugs. Invent the superior, futuristic treatments for other maladies. Make Arab oil obsolete. Then even if they still hate you they will crawl over to you for help. Fortunately or unfortunately, a Jew must have a superior knowledge and produce better things just to survive among the haters. Regardless, would you want to be like them? I don't think so.
49. sorry to sound so inconsiderate, i hope that
jerusalem   (11.04.09)
IL will lose its legitimacy soon. Its all a matter of time. btw, (good morning!) that you have just found out that you are preoccuied with nonsense.
50. Ploker should study history
Trumpeldor ,   eurabyeh   (11.04.09)
instead of moaning . At least, NOW ,we have a powerful army....
51. Donot come here either, Hostile talkbackers may bite you!
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (11.04.09)
Hesitate even at home.
52. Thorn in Side
Philip ,   Bluffton USA   (11.04.09)
Did you know you are quoting Zechzriah 12:2 ? "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem."
53. Appeasement is the contemptible path.
Chaim ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
This article is unadulterated leftist rubbish. Appeasement is the contemptible path. Before Oslo and the sick era of appeasement, Israel was widely respected by both friends and foes as a gutsy little nation. However, nobody respects a nation which doesn't respect itself. The world saw us abandoning our lands, freeing terrorists and begging our mocking enemies to "talk peace" with us. How can anyone respect such a nation? The way to gain the world's respect, (and far more importantly our own self respect) is to abandon the sick path of appeasement and be the gutsy little nation we were intended to be.
54. Tayfun
Solomon ,   Rishpon   (11.05.09)
Do you know how to say cucumber in Turkish? Because that's what you are. LOL

56. Dafer #3
R ,   Israel   (11.05.09)
Sorry to hear that Dafer, you certainly deserve full respect and equal treatment, and don't listen to the bigots. Both sides suffer because of the bigots around us.
57. Plocker: A Thorn In The World's Side
David ,   London, UK   (11.05.09)
I'm afraid, in the West, Israel has become the new tobacco... Only a radical policy shift vis a vis Palestine, settlements, borders will change that.
58. Thorn in side?
Uriel Levi ,   Brooklyn, NY   (11.05.09)
Are "Zionist" liberals and the world of the left so sensitive to "what others think of them" that they are averse to standing alone against an obvious Anti-Israel academic elite? Is that pragmatism or defeatism or is it another manifestation of a very severe identity crisis affecting the left everywhere around the globe?
59. Shunned on British campuses? The Doctor 's remedy:
Jake   (11.06.09)
Stay at home.
60. Dafer #8, Can you say Darfur?
Jake   (11.06.09)
I hope so, because that is the place where genocide is being committed, by your fellow Arabs. Not by Israel. Not in Gaza. Not in "Palestine".
