31. It's nice to hear voices of reason even from Zionists.
Ali ,   Washington DC   (05.05.10)
32. Nick Sporek, did you say list, you really said list?
Michael Hess ,   Charlotte, NC   (05.05.10)
...wow. Some of you simply take my breath away with your deep-seated hatreds and downright meanness. One never quite gets inured to it, it's worse with Israeli "supporters" than it is with any other group of people across the planet. If you are so into lists, please provide the Official List of Israeli Criteria that everyone must have to be welcomed into your club. Just how pure do you have to be? Is there a test?
33. The worm has turned...
Edithann ,   USA   (05.05.10)
They've finally realized that Israel has no where to go, no friends..and really no future... Those intellectuals are only looking out for themselves, as Israel is a reflection of their debacle in supporting Zionism...Who in their right mind would consider anything they said as credible..when they once supported and financed with their intellect, the theft of another mans land and home and kept supporting it for 70 years until it over reached morally and started to destroy itself.... TATA..
34. #15..too funny..the return to the jungle...
Edithann ,   USA   (05.05.10)
All those Nobel Prizes and now you only want guns...Hahaha...you're all a joke..you've made a mess out of your grand theft..and you're still unable to understans why...However, your right..you don't need intellectuals..all you need is guns... Why should those Palestinians give you their lands and homes without a fight..Why should you hate them for defending their homes...against thieves?. TATA
35. Carl Marx was also a Jewish intelectual
(05.05.10)
Jewish intelectals are more like Jewish athiests. I read that a religIous Jew was beaten up in France for looking like a religious Jew, one would think think that these people would get together to protest this kind of violence against their fellow Jews but no the come together to condemn their own people. There aren't a people in this world as sick and as abnormal as we are.
36. External entities claiming Jews
Brod ,   USA   (05.05.10)
Jews who do not know the GOD of Israel and are against the Land of Israel are not Jews. They are Judases who are working with the Pagan 'Roman' AntiSemites.
37. There is a better way ...
Bubba_Dallas ,   Dallas, TX   (05.05.10)
Get original and blow your enemey's mind ... contact Jorh Hage Ministries. What you are doing now is NOT working ...
38. we have seen the enemy and it is the left in all its desigue
ralph   (05.05.10)
39. A better solution
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.05.10)
Instead of counting the daily dead and injured Arab as a result of the terrorist war they declared on Israel and rivalry of their leaders, it would be wiser for the Arabs to abandon politics and terrorism, and search for a better future for themselves and their children, to choose well-being instead of politics and understand that a “Palestinian state” is not the solution to their misery. Huge amounts have already been paid by the international community in order to help these people but the only beneficiary were the Arab politiciens. Even if there will be a “Palestinian state” the conditions of the population will not improve. The solution to their misery is elsewere : they should think about emigrating, discretely, to other Arab countries before it is too late, (most of these countries are not very populated and can easily integrate them). That is the real solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bi5c8
40. These Jews R intellects with platform,you guys have talkback
Donna ,   Israel   (05.05.10)
Get off your @ss and do something rather than type from your keyboard.
41. I subscribe!
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (05.05.10)
It's plain common sense: Six million Jews, four million Arabs, not living in mixed areas. The only long-term options are for each group to have its own state or for both groups to live together in one state. Despite some deluded keyboard warriors' wet dreams, no, the Palestinians cannot be exterminated; no, they cannot be expelled; and no, they cannot be bribed to leave. One doesn't have to be a genius to figure out which of the only two realistic options is in Israel's best interest.
42. unconditional support of Israel
Chris Rettenmoser ,   Bayerisch Gmain Germ   (05.05.10)
I will not join the discussion, I only want to say very clearly: There are even non-Jews who are in unconditional support of the State of Israel...
43. Misinformed fools
Shalom Hartman   (05.05.10)
It's easy to see Israel as the "Occupier" from the comfort of your armchair in your european house while staring at your pc or tv, but if these same "enlightened" species were to spend good constructive time in Israel, meeting with the policy makers, they would surely understand the futility of the situation.
44. 3000 Out Of Nearly 2,000,000 Jews Is Statistically Null
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (05.05.10)
But of course, all of those ersatz "intellectuals" are surely aware of that. This isn't news. It's baseless hype.
45. Looks like the Bundists-Leftists have won
LitvaknotLeftist ,   chicago   (05.05.10)
They've won what's left of the minds of Euro Jewry. Amazing to think what little security they do enjoy is directly related to the strength and independence of Israel, NOT the fragile faux liberties Monsieur Levy and Company think they enjoy in that sea of ever-growing Islamic backwardness called Europe.
46. if they r so concern about Israel how come they
ghostq   (05.05.10)
don't live in Israel, that is fake concern who got no connection to Israel.
47. new movement
colin   (05.05.10)
Another big mouthed group of leftees against the state of Israel YNET of course will spred the twisted words and call anybody that speaks against is JEWS. A few big intelectuals have a meeting and YNET calls it a new movement.LIES UNTRUTHS FALSEHOOD AND DECIET THE TRADEMARK OF YNET
48. You Want To Tell Israel What To Do?
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (05.05.10)
Move here and vote. I did.
49. Arrogance! Who are these "Jews" to tell us, in Israel,
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.05.10)
how to protect our very lives and the sovereign state that we, not them, created and defended for so long? Who has given these "Jews" the right to tell us, people who have served on Israel's borders as soldiers in the defense of the Jewish state, and who who have sent their daughters and sons to carry on the task, how to care for our national home? These "calls" are nothing but a form of arrogance of people who can't even speak the language we Jews speak - Hebrew - and who can't appreciate what it is to have lived in Israel before 1948, before 1967 and at present. Note care but arrogance is what characterize these people and nothing more!
50. Even with these crazies : No peace.
Sivan ,   Jerusalem   (05.05.10)
51. Two state solution? WOW! no-one thought of that!
Talula ,   Israel   (05.05.10)
Those Diaspora Jews are full of good ideas. So easy just to say something and think it will happen. There are Jews who live in Israel and Jews that live outside - the ones outside are clueless Morons and cannot be considered as anything other than a pain in the ass. That's about it.
52. Hey TATA Edithann
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (05.05.10)
You should be aware of the recent Quinnipiac Poll (very supportive) regarding Americans' views of Israel before you go on making your usual unobjective statements about the state of Israel and Israelis. I just want to help you improve your credibility.
53. We have seen European past initiatives
Joe   (05.05.10)
Instead of telling us what to do, why don't you tell the French what to do, IE: protect you from beatings, stabbings, synagogue burning,; in essence , from Arabs The sad part is that even they are incapable of doing it for themselves. Cops do not dare to venture in certain " quartiers" in Paris, Lyon, Marseilles and other cities. The ' good old days " are gone in the EU, US and many parts of the world. Islam has arrived. Accommodate them or leave ??
54. # 1 We will come back. We will never forget.
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.05.10)
As the level of insanity, hatred, and incitement kept rising and when so much injustice continues to take place before our eyes ,This means one thing, the more hatred and feeling the need to do something, and so the Palestinians where it will be, someday one of them will be able to do it Sorry to tell you that, ultimately, with your own thinking you will burn yourself, you have to listen to the voice of reason
55. 2 state solution
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (05.05.10)
Israel and Gaza 2 states. Done.
56. TO ARABS HAVE A LOT
ORI   (05.05.10)
PLACES TO BE THER. WE HAVE ONLY ONE COUNTRY
57. Down with Ashkenazim Hegemony!
Nour ,   One-State الدولة   (05.05.10)
Arabs of the land should unite with the other minorities, such as pro-peace "leftists" and demand our human rights! The world is supporting so now's the time to rise up and demand a state of rule of law where the law applies to everyone! The time for the one-state has arrived, we're closer to going home than ever. Settlers, nice doing business with you!
58. Can't think of anything more dirty
Paul ,   Jerusalem   (05.05.10)
How does a Jew (affiliated or not) wake up on the morning (post-Holocaust) and say that they want to contribute to the international campaign to minimize, de-legitimize Israel and empower the enemies of humanity.
59. The arrogance of some abroad is outrageous
Avner ,   Kibbutz Beit Alfa   (05.05.10)
As Jews, come to Israel and be part of the development and defece of the Jewish homeland. As Jews, be critical of Israel while expressing it directly to the Israeli public and officials. But by going to the outsider and beg him - the paritz, the landlord - to tell your fellow Jews what to do is a form of arrogance that is simply unaccepted by Israeli Jews.
60. Who has empowered these people to tell Israelis
Yael ,   Ottawa, Canada   (05.05.10)
what is and what is not good for them? And who has empowered these people to represent Israel's interests and needs in the courts of world powers? No one of course but themselves. Which is all the more reason why they shouldn't be listened to.
