1. Racist Israel
John ,   Bay Area   (12.06.09)
What a racist country! They should have also talked about the protest against the seperation wall and how israeli's have different tags on there cars than arabs when they drive! Just plain racist! I wonder if jews are proud of that?
2. lol the same org that get funding from
ghostq   (12.06.09)
forign gov in europ.
3. Civil rights begin with the acceptence of
Joe ,   Ohio, USA   (12.06.09)
civil obligations. I'm so sick and tired of hearing complaints about the loss of civil rights and liberties from people who refuse to give back to their communities or are willing to pay the price for them. Every country should have a bill of rights and right beside it, a bill of obligations.
4. extreme left-wing journo Aviad pushes agenda
Hen   (12.06.09)
relentlessly, the red diaper doper baby, now grown up, push push push against the society he hates so much.
5. Bill in Ohio, I can prove you wrong, try me...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (12.06.09)
...name what group of people inn the United States that you will willingly allow to set your obligations. I'm an American, I live in North Carolina, and I'm not willing to live under some code of obligations to the state just to receive basic human rights. Are you a communist?
6. Thank you ACRI for consistenly reporting the truth...
BBSNews ,   Charlotte, NC   (12.06.09)
...and for not shying away from addressing the horrible War on Gaza. ACRI's work has been invaluable in keeping Israel afloat in terms of at least showing the world that not everything can be censored or muzzled in Israel.
7. To 5 BBSNews, I'll name an obligation ALL Americans have to.
The Dude   (12.06.09)
do to get their rights? And I swear this is a code of obligation that we all live under.... DO YOU PAY TAXES?!? What you do? So many of the rights you have now are because you pay the government money? Holy crap!
8. #5, so you don't pay tax and don't obey the law?
Danny   (12.06.09)
9. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.06.09)
Forgive my intrusion, Joe -- I'll answer. What group in America would I willingly allow to set my obligations? Easy. The United States Supreme Court.
10. To: No. 1
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.06.09)
Does someone living in California have different tags than someone living in New York? Of course they do. How is that racist? You wouldn't know racist if it got up and bit you in the hindquarters. The security fence has saved lives. No more infiltration of suicide bombers; no more infiltration of people carrying IED devices; no more infiltration of gun and knife wielding Arab terrorists, desiring only to ply their trade. It is that -- and only that -- which has caused such anger in the Arab communities in Judea and Samaria. They no longer have at-will access to Israel to murder Jews. Tell me -- is that what you are lobbying for? Easier access for Arab terrorists to murder Jews? Says a lot about you; none of it particularly impressive. Tell you what. When the United States disassembles the long electrified, barbed wire-topped separation fence between Mexico and the United States, perhaps Israel will follow suit. Not unless, not until. Got it?
11. To: Nos. 7 and 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (12.06.09)
A huge number of posters have written in about BBS News -- apparently he/she ("it," so as not to offend either gender) is a regular visitor to all manner of Jewish and Israeli websites and news fora, where it regularly posts violent, wholly inaccurate diatribes against Jews and Israel. It is either a member of a militia that gets off on running through the woods pretending to be soldiers, or it is simply your basic run-of-the-mill hatred-infused, woefully indoctrinated Jew-hater. My money's on the latter. For all it's poisonous vitriol and vicious attacks on Jews and Israel, it is nothing but a coward. Either way, it is "old news," so to speak. Nothing we haven't seen before -- and conquered with relative ease. It has posed what it thinks are deeply and profound intellectual arguments specifically directed to me -- after I've finished laughing, I bat them away , or conclusively prove its arguments wrong -- and it disappears. Evidently it has a problem with the truth, and slinks away with its tail tucked abjectly between its legs when its specious arguments and spurious "factual" claims crumble to dust in the face of credible documented evidence and the truth. Simply put -- it is a sniveling fraud.
12. to #6 another fact is those sectored don't
ghostq   (12.06.09)
pay taxes, what right will you give to people who don't fill the basic duty from the state, so as long that we r talking on facts well enjoy. ^_^
13. to #3 Joe well said.
ghostq   (12.06.09)
14. to #5 of course you do, you pay taxes
ghostq   (12.06.09)
otherwise you been in jail, and trust me in USA jail time for tax offenders is a big thing. and your country became socialist since now you pay for other people sickness according to the new health bill. enjoy the socialism Nobama style.
15. To #1 get your facts right
Andi ,   Israel   (12.06.09)
Israel Arab citizens have the same coloured registration plates as Israeli Jews ie Israeli ones . Palestinians living in the West Bank are not Israeli citizens and have different reg plates starting with P supplied by the Palestinian Authority. What's your problem with that? Also demonstrations against the security wall which keeps me and my family safe, occur every week at Bilin on a Friday morning. You are welcome to attend.
16. We must do better, like everyone else
Andi ,   Israel   (12.06.09)
All this report says is that minorities, all minorities, not just Arabs experience discrimination in Israel. So Israel must do better, but then so must the rest of the world. Blacks in US, Bangladeshis/Pakestanis in UK, Muslims in France-all rioted in recent memory. Is there another country in the Middle East that even publishes Human Rights reports? That said, I am saddened by this report and we have to do better, here in Israel.
17. They missed that certain people cant even extend their homes
rebecca ,   Modiin   (12.06.09)
when their families expand. And those same people are not allowed to protest or object to that. They missed that certain arab towns in ISRALE will not allow Jews in, never mind to live there. this report is a farce. Hope the people who were paid to make it up have paid their taxes to ISRAEL.
18. # 11
Birdi ,   Israel   (12.06.09)
Well said, Sarah B. May I add that BBS news & Matty Groves are the same person. A coward, a provocater & a trouble maker. I give my cat more attention & respect.
19. BS is full of B.S. sprinkled with anti-Jewish racism for
An Observer   (12.06.09)
added flavor. Haven't you noticed?
20. Sarah at 11 . I fully agree with you
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (12.06.09)
And certainly with the last but one : evidently it has a problem with the truth ......................And i add ..not only Crumble it to dust , you don't hear about them anymore when presented with the TRUE TRUTH . and a question to it : in the place where your "friends" are living , do they allow a kind of ACRI ?
21. Communist?
Sarah ,   Brussels, Belgium   (12.07.09)
What' your question? "Are you a communist ?" you're too funny!
